時平南王尚可喜、靖南王耿繼茂並鎮廣東,雍建疏陳廣東害民之政八:委吏太濫,雜派太繁,裡役無定例,用夫無定制,鹽埠日橫,私稅日盈,伐薪採木,大肆流毒,均宜亟為革除。 At that time the Prince of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, and the Prince of Jingnan, Geng Jimao, both held Guangdong. Yongjian listed eight abuses there: too many petty agents, too many surcharges, village labor service without fixed rules, corvée without fixed quotas, salt franchises growing more oppressive by the day, illicit levies swelling daily, and rampant logging and fuel-cutting—all of which should be abolished at once.
