Entry

The tribute envoy Huo-zhe Ya-liu and others from the country of Melaka departed on their homeward journey, but as their ship had been damaged by a typhoon, they requested that the Guang-dong Provincial Administration Commission be instructed to repair it for them. The Ministry of Rites advised: "The grand defender and grand coordinator should be instructed to examine the matter and have those of the tribute embassy repair the ship themselves. If major repairs are necessary, the tribute mission should be required to supply their own materials and the relevant offices should only provide labor to assist them." This was approved by command.
