紹威嘗以臨淄、海岱罷兵歲久,儲庾山積,惟京師軍民多而食益寡,願於太行伐木,下安陽、淇門,斫船三百艘,置水運自大河入洛口,歲漕百萬石,以給宿衛,太祖深然之。 Shaowei argued that Linzi and the Haidai region had long been at peace and their granaries were piled high, while the capital's soldiers and civilians were short of food. He proposed felling timber in the Taihang, sending it down through Anyang and Qimen, building three hundred boats, and carrying a million piculs a year by water from the Yellow River into Luokou to supply the palace guards. The Founder strongly approved.
