NOTES TO CHAPTER 22 1137"Honam," part 4, p. 115 n.180. The MHBG cites King Hy6njong's acceptance of another
memorial from Kim Minhaeng (Kim Mindo?) in 1674 for an additional two mal (per kyo!)
raise in the rice tax in his province, and reduction of the cloth commutation rate (from
twelve mal/p 'il?) to six mal/p'il, and five mal/p'il for Kyonggi Province. MHBG I52:2Ia.

8 I. Sukchollg sillok 6:33b, Sukchong 3.6.chongsa, cited in Han Yongguk, "Honam,"
part 4, p. I IS n. I 82. The first proposal for the taedong tax rate in Kyongsang was twelve
mal/kycil, the same rate currently in use in Cholla, but the Office for Dispensing Benev-
olence anticipated a serious shortage of revenue and proposed raising the rate to thirteen
mal/ky()/ of rice, commuted to cloth at the rate of seven mal/p'il, slightly more than half
the twelve mal/p 'il commutation rate for Cholla. MHBG 152: Ia-b; Kim Okkun, Chosdn
hugi, pp. 237-39. - Han Y6ngguk, "Honam," part 4, p. I 16.
- See the reference to King Hy6njong's order to Min Yujung, governor of Ch6l1a, in
1665 to find out what the feelings of the people really were, since he had previously been
reluctant to do so and only relied on the views of the rich that the common people did
not like the taedong law and recommended that it be abolished. Ibid., "Honam," part I,
