"In 1428 Wai-sz died, and was succeeded by his son, Ye-sien bu-hua,[1] who also sent repeatedly tribute to China. Tribute was also offered by Bu-sai-in, the son-in-law of the late King.
"Ye-sien bu-hua died in 1445, and was succeeded by Ye-mi-li-hu-djo.[2] The latter sent camels as tribute, and also a block of rude jade weighing 3800 kin, but not of the best quality. The Chinese government returned for every two kin of jade one piece of white silk.
"In 1457 a Chinese envoy was sent to I-li-ba-li with presents for the King, and in 1456 again.[3] It was then settled that I-li-ba-li was to send tribute every three or five years, and the number of the people in the suite of the envoy should not surpass ten men. Subsequently embassies from that country were seldom seen at the Chinese court."
