Third Month Note: This was announced at the Council Chamber on the 20th day of the Fourth Month
Regarding the inquiry about the method of reporting rice price rates at Mikuni Port: In this matter, the rates for purchasing small quantities of early-harvest rice from nearby areas are high, so one category is selected from the purchase rates to establish the top-grade rice rate. For middle-grade rice rates, the rates purchased by townspeople from nearby areas are averaged to establish the middle-grade rice rate. For low-grade rice rates, prices are averaged for rice of poor quality such as water-damaged or insect-infested rice to establish the low-grade rice rate, and this is reported according to established custom.
The above is reported without any discrepancy. End
