In the third year, on guihai day of the first month of spring, work on the Temple of the Sage was finished. On gengwu day the border market with Goryeo was closed. Prince Tachar asked to set up iron smelting works, and the request was granted. He also asked to open a border market, but that was refused. The people under Prince Qulqul were starving, so the court stopped collecting tribute sheep from them. Seven hundred silver-smelting households and one hundred forty Henan garrison-farming households were ordered to pay taxes through their local prefectures and counties. Artisan households already serving as soldiers were to remain in service. Their officers were to rank households by wealth and poverty and give relief to those who could not support themselves. Yelü Zhuo went to Beijing to provision the princes' armies, and Pacification Commissioner Chai Zhen and others were sent to buy thirty thousand shi of rice at premium prices as additional supplies. The court granted Goryeo the official calendar. On xinwei day an edict forbade garrison troops on every circuit and powerful households from grazing livestock in fields of mulberry, jujube, and grain. On guiyou day, citing the people's exhaustion from war mobilization, the Emperor ordered a halt to collecting public and private debts. On guiwei day Prince Guangning Jadu received a camel-button gold-plated silver seal, and Prince Qebek a seal for field command. Jia Sidao, the Song commissioner, wrote letters trying to win over Commanders Zhang Yuan and others. Li Tan seized the letters and forwarded them to court. On bingxu day Shi Quan, Great Governor of Jiang-Han, and Zhang Hongyan, wanhu of Bozhou, were ordered to march eight thousand men to Yan. The court prepared palace bells and chimes, dancers, reed pipes, and feathered performers — three hundred sixty-two people in all. Goryeo sent envoys with a memorial of thanks, and the Emperor answered with a gracious edict. Yan Jian, Li Tan's son held at court as a hostage, fled home.
