In 1775, he and Kōchi Ryōtoku was ordered to make the first statutory law in Ryukyuan history by King Shō Boku. The law was completed in 1786. and was jointly signed by Ie and his two colleges, Yonabaru Ryōku (与那原 良矩) and Fukuyama Chōki (譜久山 朝紀). Later, it was officially promulgated and implemented by the king in the same year.[1][3][4]

The mountain forests in Nakagami and Kunigami were withered. Ie was sent there to deal with it. He managed to propagate them by cutting off withered trees and planting trees in a reasonable method.[1][4]

Ie's diary, Ie Ueekata Hinikki (伊江親方日々記), was a very important history record.[5]

Ie was also the Eboshioya (烏帽子親) of King Shō On.[6]
