    ens, and sixty to seventy pheasants, pigs, eggs, oil, honey, fish products. vegetahles, salt,
    bean sauce, fruit of all kinds. rice, noodles, utensils, straw mats, dustpans, hrooms, pots,
    cauldrons, gourds, bedding, tents. cushions, painted screens, all of which had to be loaded
    on carts and drawn by oxen and horses for several hundrcd i (30-roo miles). If the envoy

    additional levy of similar goods. Ihid. 3:4Ia-42a.
