In the twenty-third year, on the wuchen new moon of the first month of spring, court congratulations were suspended because of the crown prince. Carrying gold, silver, and copper cash across the sea for trade was forbidden. On jiaxu day the Emperor halted the expedition against Japan, judging the country a solitary distant island state that had overtaxed the people's strength. He summoned Abaqchi to court and dispersed the civilian ships under his command. Land from abolished Jiangnan monasteries that others had seized was transferred to chief controller Yang Lianzhenjia to restore the monasteries. On jimao day post stations were established at Luobu, Qietai, Zheyang, and Woduan.

On jiashen day Hudu'er said, "Two hundred newly submitted garrison-farming troops under my command have dug a canal at Yijinai; the labor has been long and the task vast. I ask that nearby civilians and surplus households of Western monks assist." This was approved. Hansun sent envoys saying, "More than 800 exhausted soldiers ask for relief and provisioning; their claims should be verified at the Duoludu sea station."

In the second month, on jihai day, an edict ordered that throughout court and countryside all Han commoners possessing iron rules, hand maces, and staffs with hidden blades deliver them to the government. On xinchou day envoys were sent with 5,000 ingots of paper currency to relieve famine commoners under Prince Xiaoxue. On jiachen day Xuexuedejin was made left grand councillor of the Burma branch secretariat, Atai Dong'a associate administrator, and Udusmish secretary of branch secretariat affairs.

Envoys were sent to instruct Prince Yesen Temur to mobilize 1,000 to 3,000 Helazhang troops for Ala Haiya's Jiaozhi campaign and report the names of officers and soldiers. On yisi day the court decided that in the northeast princes' domains were intermixed with other populations and pacification commissions carried too little weight. The Shanbei Liaodong Circuit and Kaiyuan Route pacification commissions were abolished and the Eastern Capital branch secretariat established, with Kuokkuonitudun as left grand councillor, Liaodong pacification commissioner Tachu as right associate, and privy council secretary Yang Renfeng and pacification commissioner Yiersaghan as associate administrators. An edict to the Central Secretariat said, "Gold and silver stored by the Palace Storehouse Directorate are to be distributed to princes according to former-court precedent." The Grand Agriculturist Directorate was re-established to manage agriculture and sericulture exclusively. The Imperial Provision Directorate was raised to rank two, and Zhenchao Fu was reduced to Chao Prefecture. On dingwei day, following censorate officials' memorial, regulations were established for surveillance commissioners touring counties: aside from two commissioners remaining at headquarters, deputy commissioners and below would each year in the second month proceed to inspect and govern and return in the tenth month. On bingwu day the moon encroached upon Jing. On wushen day the Privy Council memorialized, "Ten thousand Mongol troops previously dispatched for garrison-farming obtained, beyond annual expenses, 3,000 ingots of paper currency from grain sales; I ask that this be distributed from the granary to poor garrison troops in the various wings." The Emperor was pleased and ordered it carried out as convenient. 2,000 newly submitted troops of the capital were deployed in camps for garrison-farming.

Orluchi, grand councillor of the Jinghu branch secretariat, asked to come to audience regarding the Jiaozhi campaign; an edict ordered him to proceed to court by official courier. Academician-expositor Cheng Wenhai of the Hall of Worthies said, "Provincial secretariat bureaus and agencies all employ southerners jointly, but the censorate and surveillance commissions do not. Southern custom is what southerners know; it would be convenient to employ them jointly." The Emperor spoke of this to Yusutemur, who replied, "Capable men should be selected and reported." The Emperor said, "Are all Han officials you employ necessarily capable?" School lands on Jiangnan routes had formerly all been placed under the government; an edict restored them to the original schools to facilitate teaching and nurture. Chen Yiji was enfeoffed as king of Annam and Chen Xiuyuan as Duke of Assisting Righteousness; an edict was also issued instructing Annam officials and commoners.

三月己巳，御史臺臣言：「近奉旨按察司參用南人，非臣等所知，宜令侍御史、行御史臺事程文海與行臺官博采公潔知名之士，具以名聞。」 帝命賫詔以往。 太陰犯婁。 浚治中興路河渠。 省雲和署入教坊司。 辛未，降梅、循為下州。 甲戌，雄、霸二州及保定諸縣水泛溢，冒官民田，發軍民築河堤禦之。 乙亥，以麥術丁仍中書右丞，與郭佑並領錢谷，楊居寬典銓選。 立欽察衛親軍都指揮使司。 賜諸王脫忽帖木兒羊二萬。 丙子，大駕幸上都。 詔行御史臺按察司以八月巡行郡縣。 中書省臣言：「阿合馬時諸王駙馬往來餉給之費，悉取於萬億庫，後征百官俸入以償，最非便。」 詔在籍者除之勿征。 以榷茶提舉李起南為江西榷茶轉運使。 起南嘗言：「江南茶每引價三貫六百文，今宜增每引五貫。」 事下中書議，因令起南為運使，置達魯花赤處其上。 丁丑，徙東京行中書省於咸平府。 癸巳，歲星犯壘壁陣。 以臨江路為北安王分邑。
In the third month, on jisi day, censorate officials said, "Recently, following an imperial order, surveillance commissions were to employ southerners jointly, which is not within our knowledge; attendant censor Cheng Wenhai, handling branch censorate affairs, should together with branch censorate officials broadly gather reputable men of public integrity and report their names." The Emperor ordered an edict sent forth. The moon encroached upon Lou. The Zhongxing Route canals were dredged and repaired. The Yunhe Office was merged into the Music Office. On xinwei day Mei and Xun were reduced to lower prefectures. On jiaxu day Xiong, Ba, and the counties of Baoding were flooded, inundating official and private fields; troops and civilians were mobilized to build river dikes.

The Qipchaq Imperial Guard Command was established. Prince Tuhu Temur was granted 20,000 sheep. On bingzi day the imperial carriage proceeded to Shangdu. An edict ordered branch censorate surveillance commissioners to tour counties in the eighth month. Central Secretariat officials said, "During Ahmad's time, provisions for princes and imperial sons-in-law traveling back and forth were all taken from the Treasury of Myriad Myriads; afterward officials' salaries were levied to repay it, which was extremely inconvenient." An edict ordered those on the registers exempted from collection. Li Qinan, tea monopoly commissioner, was made Jiangxi tea transport commissioner. Qinan had once said, "Jiangnan tea was 3 guan 600 wen per certificate; now each certificate should be raised to 5 guan." The matter was referred to the Central Secretariat for deliberation; accordingly Qinan was made transport commissioner, with a darughachi placed above him. On dingchou day the Eastern Capital branch secretariat was moved to Xianping Prefecture. On guisi day Jupiter encroached upon Leibi Formation. Linjiang Route was made fief of the Prince of Beian.

夏四月庚子，中書省臣請立汴梁行中書省及燕南、河東、山東宣慰司。 有旨：「南京戶寡盜息，不必置省，其宣慰司如所請。 濟南乃勝納合兒分地，太原乃阿只吉分地，其令各位委官一人同治之。」 敕免雲南從征交趾蒙古軍屯田租。 立烏蒙站。 江南諸路財賦並隸中書省。 雲南省平章納速剌丁上便宜數事：一曰弛道路之禁，通民來往； 二曰禁負販之徒，毋令從征； 三曰罷丹當站賦民金為飲食之費； 四曰聽民伐木貿易； 五曰戒使臣勿擾民居，立急遞鋪以省驲騎。 詔議行之。 辛丑，陜西行省言：「延安置屯田鷹坊總管府，其火失不花軍逃散者，皆入屯田，今復供秦王阿難答所部阿黑答思飼馬及輸他賦。」 有旨皆罷之，其不悛者罪當死。 甲辰，行御史臺自杭州徙建康。 以山南、淮東、淮西三道按察司隸內臺。 增置行臺色目御史員數。 丁未，江東宣慰司進芝一本。 庚戌，制謚法。 壬子，樞密院納速剌丁言：「前所統漸丁軍五千人往征打馬國，其力已疲，今諸王復籍此軍征緬，宜取進止。」 帝曰：「茍事力未損，即遣之。」 仍諭納速剌丁分阿剌章、蒙古軍千人，以能臣將之，赴交趾助皇子脫歡。 己未，遣要束木勾考荊湖行省錢谷。 中書擬要束木平章政事，脫脫忽參知政事。 有旨：「要束木小人，事朕方五年，授一理算官足矣。 脫脫忽人奴之奴，令史、宣使才也。 讀卿等所進擬，令人恥之。 其以朕意諭安童。」 以漢民就食江南者多，又從官南方者秩滿多不還，遣使盡徙北還。 仍設脫脫禾孫於黃河、江、淮諸津渡，凡漢民非賫公文適南者止之，為商者聽。 中書省臣言：「比奉旨，凡為盜者毋釋。 今竊鈔數貫及佩刀微物，與童幼竊物者，悉令配役。 臣等議，一犯者杖釋，再犯依法配役為宜。」 帝曰：「朕以漢人徇私，用《泰和律》處事，致盜賊滋眾，故有是言。 人命至重，今後非詳讞者，勿輒殺人。」
In the fourth month of summer, on gengzi day, Central Secretariat officials requested establishment of the Bianliang branch secretariat and Yan-South, Hedong, and Shandong pacification commissions. An order said, "Nanjing has a sparse population and theft has ceased; there is no need to establish a secretariat; the pacification commissions may be established as requested. Jinan is Prince Shengnahe'er's fief and Taiyuan is Prince Azhiji's fief; each prince is to appoint one official to govern jointly." An edict exempted Mongol garrison-farming troops of Yunnan campaigning against Jiaozhi from land rent. The Wumeng post station was established. Revenue and grain of all Jiangnan routes were placed under the Central Secretariat. Nasir al-Din, grand councillor of Yunnan Province, submitted several expedient measures: first, relax road prohibitions and allow common people to come and go; second, forbid peddlers from following campaigns; third, abolish Dandang station levies of gold from the people for food and drink expenses; fourth, allow the people to fell timber for trade; fifth, warn envoys not to disturb private dwellings and establish urgent-dispatch stations to economize on courier mounts. An edict ordered deliberation and implementation. On xinchou day the Shaanxi branch secretariat said, "At Yan'an garrison-farming was established under the Hawking Office directorate; deserting troops of Huoshibuhua's army all entered garrison-farming; now they are again supplying horses for Prince of Qin Anxige's follower Aheidas and rendering other taxes." An order abolished all of this; those who did not reform were to be punished by death. On jiachen day the branch censorate was moved from Hangzhou to Jiankang. The surveillance commissions of Shannan, Huai-East, and Huai-West circuits were placed under the inner censorate. The number of semuren surveillance censors at the branch censorate was increased. On dingwei day the Jiangdong pacification commission presented one stalk of lingzhi fungus. On gengxu day posthumous-title regulations were promulgated. On renzi day Nasir al-Din of the Privy Council said, "Five thousand young conscript troops previously under my command went to campaign against Damaguo; their strength is already exhausted; now princes are again registering these troops for the Burma campaign; action should be taken after inquiry." The Emperor said, "If their strength is not yet impaired, send them at once." Nasir al-Din was still instructed to detach 1,000 Alazhang and Mongol troops under a capable minister and send them to Jiaozhi to assist Prince Tuohan. On jiwei day Yaochumu was dispatched to audit Jinghu branch secretariat revenue and grain. The Central Secretariat proposed making Yaochumu grand councillor and Tuotuohu associate administrator. An order said, "Yaochumu is a petty man who has served me only five years; appointing him a single accounting official is enough. Tuotuohu is a slave's slave fit only for clerk or messenger. Reading the nominations you have submitted fills one with shame. Convey my intent to Antong." Because many Han people had gone south to Jiangnan for food, and many officials who had served in the south did not return when their terms ended, envoys were sent to move them all back north. Tuotuohosun was also posted at ferry crossings on the Yellow River, Yangtze, and Huai to stop Han people going south without official documents; merchants were permitted. Central Secretariat officials said, "Recently, by imperial order, no thief was to be released. Now those who steal a few strings of paper currency or petty objects such as wearing a knife on the belt, and children who steal objects, are all sentenced to penal service. We deliberated that for a first offense flogging and release would be appropriate, and for a second offense penal service according to law." The Emperor said, "Because Han people show partiality and use the Taihe Code in handling cases, bandits and thieves have multiplied; hence my statement. Human life is of utmost weight; from now on, unless the case has been thoroughly tried, do not lightly put people to death."

五月丁卯朔，樞密院臣言：「臣等與玉速帖木兒議別十八里軍事，凡軍行並聽伯顏節制，其留務委孛欒帶及諸王阿只吉官屬統之為宜。」 從之。 己巳，熒惑犯太微西垣上將。 荊湖行省阿裏海牙上言：「要束木在鄂省鉤考，豈無貪賄？ 臣亦請勾考之。」 詔遣參知政事禿魯罕、樞密院判李道、治書侍御史陳天祥偕行。 甲戌，汴梁旱。 徙江東按察司於宣州。 庚辰，歲星犯壘壁陣。 乙酉，熒惑犯太微右執法。 敕遣耽羅戍兵四百人還家。 庚寅，廣平等路蠶災。 辛卯，霸州、漷州蝻生。 安南國遣使來貢方物。 癸巳，京畿旱。
In the fifth month, on the dingmao new moon, privy council officials said, "We together with Yusutemur deliberated on military affairs at Bie Shibali; all troops on campaign should be under Bayan's command, while remaining duties should be entrusted to Bolundai and Prince Ajiji's staff to oversee, which is appropriate." This was approved. On jisi day Mars transgressed the Western Rampart Major General of the Supreme Palace Enclosure. Jinghu branch secretariat Ali Haiya memorialized, "When Yeshi Mu audited accounts in E Province, was there no bribery? I also ask that my accounts be audited." An edict dispatched associate administrator Tuluhan, privy council assessor Li Dao, and investigating censor Chen Tianxiang to go together. On jiaxu day Bianliang suffered drought. The Jiangdong surveillance commission was moved to Xuanzhou. On gengchen day Jupiter transgressed Leibi Formation. On yiyou day Mars transgressed the Right Enforcer of the Supreme Palace Enclosure.

六月丙申朔，太白犯御女。 辛丑，中書省臣言：「禿魯罕來奏，前要束木、阿裏海牙互請鉤考，今阿裏海牙雖已死，事之是非，當令暴白。」 帝曰：「卿言良是，其連引諸人，近者即彼追逮，遠者宜以上聞。 此事自要束木所發，當依其言究行之。」 乙巳，以立大司農司詔諭中外。 皇孫鐵木兒不花駐營亦奚不薛，其糧餉仰於西川，遠且不便，徙駐重慶府。 詔以大司農司所定《農桑輯要》書頒諸路。 命雲南、陜西二行省籍定建都稅賦。 戊申，括諸路馬。 凡色目人有馬者三取其二，漢民悉入官，敢匿與互市者罪之。 辛亥，以亦馬剌丹忒忽裏使交趾。 癸丑，湖廣行省線哥言：「今用兵交趾，分本省戍兵二萬八千七百人，期以七月悉會靜江，今已發精銳啟行，余萬七千八百人，皆羸病、屯田等軍，不可用。」 敕今歲姑罷之。 丁巳，設陜西等路諸站總管府，從三品。 庚申，甘肅新招貧民百一十八戶，敕廩給之。 敕路、府、州、縣捕盜者持弓矢，各路十副，府、州七副，縣五副。 以薛阇幹為中書省平章政事。 辛酉，封楊邦憲妻田氏為永安郡夫人，領播州安撫司事。 遣鎮西平緬等路招討使怯烈招諭緬國。 廣元路閬中麥秀兩歧。 高麗國遣使來貢。
In the sixth month, on the bingshen new moon, Venus transgressed the Maid. On xinchou day Central Secretariat officials said, "Tuluhan came to report that previously Yeshi Mu and Ali Haiya each requested that the other's accounts be audited; though Ali Haiya is now dead, right and wrong in the matter should be brought to light." The Emperor said, "What you say is indeed correct; those connected by implication—those nearby should be pursued and arrested there, those far away should be reported upward. This matter originated with Yeshi Mu; it should be thoroughly carried out according to his statement." On yisi day an edict proclaiming establishment of the grand secretariat for agriculture was sent to inform court and realm. Imperial grandson Temur Buqa was garrisoned at Yixibuxi; his provisions depended on Xichuan, distant and inconvenient, so he was moved to garrison Chongqing Prefecture. An edict ordered the book Essentials of Farming and Sericulture, compiled by the grand secretariat for agriculture, to be issued to all circuits. Yunnan and Shaanxi branch secretariats were ordered to register and fix capital-construction tax levies. On wushen day horses throughout all circuits were registered and requisitioned. Among Semu people who had horses, two of every three were taken; all Han horses were confiscated to the state; those who dared conceal them or trade them privately were punished. On xinhai day Yimailan Tehuli was sent as envoy to Jiaozhi. On guichou day Huguang branch secretariat Xian Ge said, "For the campaign against Jiaozhi we allocated 28,700 garrison troops of this province, scheduled to assemble at Jingjiang in the seventh month; the elite force has already set out, but the remaining 17,800 are debilitated, garrison-farm, and similar troops, unusable." An edict suspended this for the present year. On dingsi day the Shaanxi and other circuits relay-station supervisorate was established, rank 3b. On gengshen day 118 newly enrolled impoverished households in Gansu were ordered to receive grain rations. An edict ordered bandit-catchers in circuits, prefectures, subprefectures, and counties to carry bows and arrows: circuits 10 sets, prefectures and subprefectures 7 sets, counties 5 sets. Xue Shegan was appointed Central Secretariat grand councillor. On xinyou day Yang Bangxian's wife Lady Tian was enfeoffed as Lady of Yong'an Commandery and put in charge of Bozhou pacification commission affairs.

In the seventh month of autumn, on the bingyin new moon, Pilaman and others were dispatched as envoys to Java. On jisi day, acting on Central Secretariat officials' memorial, because much official land in Jiangnan had been seized by powerful families, a garrison-farm supervisorate was established, and the seized land was still measured acre by acre. The imperial wine bureau was restored as the Court of Imperial Entertainments; the Liaoyang and other places branch secretariat was abolished; the Beijing, Xianping, and other three pacification commissions were restored. The impoverished Tiegusi Hedu was granted 2,000 bolts each of silk and cloth, and 1,000 bolts of plain cloth. On gengwu day Jianghuai branch secretariat Mangwudai said, "The province is now at Hangzhou; revenue and military supplies from Lianghuai, Jiangdong, and other circuits are transported south and then back north again, which is inconvenient. Yangzhou commands the rivers and sea; the province should be established there, with a heavy garrison stationed; transport would then avoid round-trip labor; moving the branch secretariat to Yangzhou would be advantageous." This was approved. Garrison farms were established at Hongze and Shaopi in Huainan. On renshen day hungry people from Pingyang who had gone to neighboring prefectures for food were given relief from local granaries wherever they were. The Central Imperial Workshop Bureau was established. Right vice censor Baidu'er led troops to suppress Ameng, captured him together with his wife and children, and all were executed. On dingchou day the people of Wotuogesi's tribe suffered famine; they were sent to find food in Beijing; those who did not go were given rice relief. Xiong and Yi prefectures were again placed under Baoding. Army provisions for Karakorum were supplied: 10,000 shi of rice were shipped from the capital, and paper currency was issued to purchase 10,000 shi of rice locally. On xinsi day 600 famine-stricken households of Badu'er, stationed in Balghas, were given 1,000 shi of rice in relief.

For the ministry secretariat, Sangge and Tiemuer were made grand councillors, Aruqinsaili right vice chancellor, Ye Li left vice chancellor, and Ma Shao associate administrator; the remaining post was to be filled through deliberation by a Muslim.

Prince of Zhennan Tuohuan was transferred to guard Nanjing. The Fujian maritime trade and transport commission was renamed the salt transport commission. Fan Wenhu was made right vice chancellor of the ministry secretariat to deliberate on privy council affairs. The branch central secretariat was renamed the branch ministry secretariat; the six ministries became the six ministries of revenue; Xindu, minister of personnel, was made associate administrator of the ministry secretariat. On gengyin day the imperial procession proceeded to Shangdu. Jalhuqa Helegesun and others said, "Last year the judicial review officials recorded prisoners; in Nanjing and Jinan circuits alone those deserving death already numbered 190; if all routes were checked, the total would surely be large — Jalhuqa and several others should be retained to carry out executions in separate districts." The Emperor said, "Prisoners are not a flock of sheep — how can they be killed in haste? All should be assigned to gold-panning labor."

On dingyou day Sangge said, "Previously Prince Manggalai was enfeoffed as Prince of Anxi, governing Hexi, Tibet, Sichuan, and other places, and a princely chancellor's office was established; later he was enfeoffed as Prince of Qin and held two gold seals. Now the successor Anandapati still inherits the Prince of Anxi seal, while his younger brother Antanbuhua separately uses the Prince of Qin seal; below them the tutor's seal is again employed in administration — one fief with two princes — likely improper in regulation." An edict ordered Anandapati succeed as Prince of Anxi with the princely tutor still appointed, the Prince of Qin seal submitted, and the princely tutor post held by Antanbuhua abolished. On wuxu day 500 Han troops of Biebashibali and newly submitted troops were sent to garrison-farm at Hemiyusuqu.

On bingwu day the Prince of Zhennan halted at Jiehe; Jiaozhi dispatched troops to resist; the vanguard broke them all. On jiyou day an edict ordered deliberation on suppressing banditry. Sangge and Yusutemur said, "Jiangnan has been under allegiance ten years, yet bandits to this day have not been pacified; an edict should set a time limit for recruitment and capture, and settling the people should be the responsibility of prefecture and county officials — those who fail should be dismissed." Ye Li said, "I was in Zhangzhou ten years and know the matter in detail; generally military officers who crave profit and collude with bandits are especially hard to suppress. Each garrison commander should by regulation rotate every three years — then this abuse may be reformed." The Emperor approved all their proposals, and an edict carried them out. The imperial son-in-law Tiemur was enfeoffed as Prince of Jining Commandery. On renzi day Jiangxi branch secretariat grand councillor Hudutemur was ordered to supervise capture of bandits in Guangdong and other places.
