The '''Imperial Tallies''' were a set of large scrolls that detailed the amount of [[Tributary system of Imperial Daxia|tribute]] owed to Imperial [[Daxia]] by its tributary nations. The tallies had no set number, how many were in use depended on the number of peoples subject to the Daxians at any one moment. When a particular nation was not paying proper obedience or was at war with [[Daxia]], its scroll was covered with black silk until such a time it returned to obeisance. The tallies were housed in the Hall of the Tributaries inside Daguo's [[Palace of Columns]], where foreign delegations traveled to consult them at the start of the year in order to prepare the required tribute.
