Edict 1SZ-07-02

To the Ministry of Finance and the County Magistrates, 

''We are most heartened to hear of the success in planting buckwheat in the lowlands. This crop, so long confined to the mountains, will now provide sustenance and allow for greater prosperity even in the harsh lands of the north. All this is due to your diligence. ''

''You are now to devote your efforts to finding out more about buckwheat, and about how better to promote its growth. Just as there are techniques to growing rice and wheat correctly, to maximise yield, there must be ways by which buckwheat can be fertilised and treated, so it can feed more people. ''

''It is possible that there is knowledge of these techniques already existing among the people of the mountains, who have been subsisting on this grain for generations. Seek understanding from them where possible. ''
