Requesting a Court Official to Manage the Army Grain at Ganghwa請差出朝臣一人句管江華糧穀狀
臣前因朴忠侃聞忠淸等處田稅米豆七千餘石留泊江華忠侃來時言于掌令鄭姬藩使之看護臣今到肅川適姬藩自江華來到言其船尙在江華不少軍糧若無句當管攝之人恐或有閪失飄散之憂臣聞宰相朝官時方留在江華者甚多而前頭調度之任亦甚關重。朝廷別差一人急急。下諭使之管理且以措置糧餉之事允爲便益
Your servant earlier heard through Pak Chunggan (朴忠侃) that more than seven thousand seom of land-tax rice and beans from Chungcheong and other parts lay moored at Ganghwa (江華). When Chunggan came, your servant spoke to Jeong Huibeon (鄭姬藩), Inspector (掌令), and had him look after it.
Now that your servant has reached Sukcheon (肅川), Huibeon has just come in from Ganghwa, and said that the boats are still at Ganghwa, and that he fears there may be the worry of loss or scattering if army grain in no small amount has no one to take charge of it.
Your servant hears that the ministers and court officials now staying at Ganghwa are very many, and, looking to what lies ahead, the charge of providing army grain and supplies is very weighty as well. If the court would appoint one man apart and issue him instructions in haste to take charge and govern it, and further commit to him the providing of army grain, it would truly be convenient and profitable.
