According to the "Gukansho" (Record of Foolish Random Thoughts), when Yorimichi was requested to submit documents, he responded: 'I have none of those, so I don't mind if you confiscate everything'; it is reported that only Yorimichi's manor was exempted from submitting documents.
『愚管抄』は記録所が頼通にも文書提出を求めたとき、「そんなものはないので全て没収しても構わない」と答え、頼通の荘園のみ文書の提出を免除されたという話を伝えている。
