When Zhongdu was under siege, the situation was critical and the food supply was cut off. The emperor issued an imperial edict to Zhongxiao instructing him to search for the people's stored food. Apart from keeping enough food for two months for himself, he was to hand over all the food to the government in exchange for silver bills or the Buddhist and Taoist Monks’ and Daoists’ Jie Die.
