現代語訳
急速によく栄え、初年より水際となり、もはや押し流すべき患いもなく、国益ともなるべし。○太平なる御国の有難さに、絹茶諸品とも異国よりも懇望して、御国の貴き事広大也。また川原荒野に植えるは荊桑の上品の子蒔仕立にして移し植えるべし。○また有来りの畑に植えるは魯桑がよし、また荊桑も上品はよし。また隣の畑主と申し合わせ、水上の方へは一通りずつ水際になるように植え、内坪へは間遠く一本に三坪受け位に並びよく植え、間々に耕作したるは両作に益多し。○また関東に武蔵国多摩入間の両郡その外までも古えは薄生い茂りて名所なる武蔵野の原と呼べるも、今は開けて家村と変わり、然れども多くは廉畑にして、田無村野火留村などと色々異名ありて、数ヶ村一円廉畑にて水難の患いは無き岡なれど、土性軽くして冬の月出しの風にも吹き飛び、土煙立てて大火事の如く、いつの頃か才覚の人風除け並木に茶を数通り植えて手前の土を囲い、他の土を吹き集む工夫なるを見習いて、広く植え渡る。茶も貴き物にて異国江も渡り、思わざる幸いを得るものあり。茶は四木の一つにて桑漆楮茶これ也。今また桑を植えて蚕飼いを専らとし

They will rapidly flourish, becoming established along waterways from the first year, with no longer any worry of being washed away, and will contribute to the national benefit. ○ Due to the blessing of our peaceful realm, silk and tea products are eagerly sought after even from foreign countries, demonstrating the precious and vast value of our nation. For planting in riverbed wastelands, one should use superior varieties of thorny mulberry grown from seed and transplant them. ○ For planting in existing farmland, Lu mulberry is good, and superior varieties of thorny mulberry are also good. Furthermore, consulting with neighboring landowners, plant one row along the upstream side to serve as waterside protection, and in the interior plots, plant at well-spaced intervals of about one tree per three tsubo, with regular cultivation between the trees providing benefits for dual cropping. ○ Also in the Kanto region, in Musashi Province's Tama and Iruma counties and beyond, in ancient times thin grasses grew thickly in what was called the famous Musashino Plain, but now it has been developed into residential villages. However, much of it consists of upland fields, with various names like Tanashi Village and Nobidome Village, and while these villages in their entirety consist of upland fields on hills free from flood damage, the soil is light and gets blown away even by winter winds, creating dust clouds like great fires. At some point, wise people planted tea in several rows as windbreak tree lines, devising a method to contain their own soil and gather soil blown from elsewhere. Learning from this, tea was planted widely. Tea is also a precious commodity that reaches foreign countries, bringing unexpected fortune to some. Tea is one of the four trees - mulberry, lacquer, paper mulberry, and tea. Now, planting mulberry and specializing in sericulture
