Cost of the performance - Yogekiryo

Japanese: 要劇料 - ようげきりょう

One of the salaries paid to Ritsuryo government officials. It is said to have started in 719 (Yoro 3) when officials with the role of "geki" (dramatic) duty were selected and paid in sen. In the Nara period, officials in charge of administrative duties in specific government offices in Kyoto were paid in sen on a monthly basis according to their rank. Similar to this, rice paid to banjo officials was called banjoryo (banjo food), and this yogekiryo and banjoryo were additional salaries paid only to yogeki officials in addition to the regular monthly salary (getsuryo) and tairo (large salary). However, in 808 (Daido 3), the scope of monthly salary payment was narrowed, and in the reforms of that year and the following year, yogekiryo was changed from sen to a daily payment of 2 sho of rice, and monthly salary, yogekiryo, and banjoryo were paid without overlapping, and it lost its character as an additional salary and became a salary of the same quality as the monthly salary.

律令官人に対する給与の一つ。719年(養老3)に劇(激)務の官をえらんで銭を支給したのが始まりとされ，奈良時代では，在京の特定官司の職事（しきじ）官に対し，官位の高下に従い月別に銭を支給した。これに類似し，番上（ばんじよう）官に米を支給するのを番上粮（ばんじようろう）といい，この要劇料，番上粮は正規の月料（げつりよう），大粮（たいろう）に対し，劇官のみへの追加給の性格を有した。しかし808年(大同3)に月料支給の範囲縮小に伴い，同年および翌年の改革で要劇料も銭でなく日別2升の米の支給とし，月料と要劇料，番上粮のいずれかを重複せずに支給することになって，追加給としての性格は失われ，月料と同質の給与へと変質した。
