現代語訳
もちろん制道筋において悪しく申すのではないが、自然と一牧の気配が治まらず、制道向きの実意を失うことになる。

As a contribution from wealthy donors, this was to be paid to the district magistrate's office to gradually prepare for emergency relief funds for years of poor harvest. Already, for seven years until the year before last, payments were made smoothly, accumulating considerable amounts of rice, grain, gold, and silver. However, contrary to the initial spirit, in recent years there have been those who have become dilatory. Among them, due to economic difficulties for two or three years, it was announced that starting from last year (Year of the Sheep), the payments would be reduced by half for three years, making it six years of payments in total.
