可令發運使陳亨伯、內侍譚稹條具措置以聞。」 Transport commissioner Chen Hengbo and inner attendant Tan Zhen shall itemize arrangements and report back."

會兩浙有方臘之亂，內侍童貫為宣撫使，譚稹為制置使，貫欲海運陸輦，稹欲開一河，自盱眙出宣化。 The Fang La rebellion broke out in the two Zhe circuits. Eunuch Tong Guan served as pacification commissioner and Tan Zhen as disposition commissioner. Guan favored sea transport and overland carriage; Zhen proposed opening a channel from Xuyi to Xuanhua.
