至則日本使臣井上馨避不肯見，而挾朝鮮左議政金宏集於議政院，索償兵費三十萬。 On arrival he found the Japanese minister Inoue Kaoru avoiding him and refusing an audience, while holding Korean Left State Councillor Kim Hong-jip at the State Council and demanding three hundred thousand taels in military expenses.

宏集唯唯，井上馨亦氣懾，減索兵費十一萬而去。 Kim Hong-jip could only assent; Inoue Kaoru was intimidated as well, cut his demand to one hundred ten thousand taels, and withdrew.
