初，先主定益州，置鹽府校尉，較鹽鐵之利，後校尉王連請乂及南陽杜祺、南鄉劉幹等並為典曹都尉。 After Liu Bei took Yi Province he set up a salt monopoly to manage iron and salt revenues; Colonel Wang Lian later named Lü Yi, Du Qi of Nanyang, Liu Gan of Nanxiang, and others capital bureau commandants.

杜祺歷郡守監軍大將軍司馬，劉幹官至巴西太守，皆與乂親善，亦有當時之稱，而儉素守法，不及於乂。 Du Qi successively served as commandery governor, army inspector, and major to the Grand General; Liu Gan reached the office of Administrator of Baxi. Both were close friends of Lü Yi and had reputations in their time, though in frugality, simplicity, and adherence to law they did not match Yi.
