六十年，再出師，毓皛兄毓馪請以家財轉餉，受運值視官運三之一。 In the sixtieth year, when troops marched out again, Yuxiao's elder brother Yushen offered family wealth to transport provisions and was paid carriage fees at one-third of the official rate.

雍正間，師出西北二路，怡親王允祥薦毓馪主餉，計穀多寡，程道路遠近，以次受值，凡石米自十一兩五錢至二十五兩有差，累年運米百餘萬石。 In the Yongzheng reign, when armies marched by the two northwest routes, Prince Yi Yinxiang recommended Yushen to manage supplies; fees were set by grain volume and distance, ranging from eleven taels five mace to twenty-five taels per picul, and over the years he transported more than a million piculs of grain.

寇犯北路，失米十三萬餘石，毓馪斥私財補運，凡白金百四十四萬。 When raiders struck the northern route and more than one hundred thirty thousand piculs of grain were lost, Yushen spent private funds to make up the shipments, totaling one million four hundred forty thousand taels of silver.

師既罷，米轉運近地，戶部按近值核銷，故所受遠值，責毓馪追繳，凡白金二百六十二萬，復出私財採蓡，市銅供鑄錢以償。 After the campaign ended, grain was moved to nearby depots and the Board of Revenue settled accounts at local rates; Yushen was therefore ordered to repay the difference on distant hauls—two million six hundred twenty thousand taels in all—and again spent private funds gathering ginseng and buying copper for minting to meet the debt.
