是月也，申嚴號令。命百官貴賤無不務內，以會天地之藏，無有宣出。乃命冢宰，農事備收，舉五穀之要，藏帝藉之收於神倉，祗敬必飭。

In this month the orders are renewed and strictly enjoined, charging the various, officers (to see) that noble and mean all exert themselves in the work of ingathering, in harmony with the storing of heaven and earth. They must not allow anything to remain out in the fields. Orders are also given to the chief minister, after the fruits of husbandry have all been gathered in, to take in hand the registers of the produce of the different grains (from all the country), and to store up the produce that has been gathered from the acres of God in the granary of the spirits; doing this with the utmost reverence and correctness.
