現代語訳
一、大麦六斗 一、小豆五斗八升 一文無し
一、小麦 百文につき三升 一、米糠百文につき四升
一、馬の飼料 金十両に三十二俵
一、干菜 百文につき二連
一、小豆の葉 一俵につき三百文 このように一文もなし
このような値段故、川上筋並びに発地・梨沢・面替の辺りは一向に取り続けようがなく、家を捨てて立ち退く者が多いという。藁餅のことについて、小諸・御影皆々の領分・支配の村々へ触れ渡された。その仕方は、まず藁を程よく水に浸け、灰汁を出し、よくよく砂を去り洗い落とし、穂を切り、根本の方よ
り細かに刻み、それを蒸して干し立て、煎り臼にて挽き、細かにして篩う。粉一升の中へ米の粉二合程入れて、似合った餅のようにして蒸し、又は煮て塩か味噌を入れて食べる。右の米の粉もなければ、葛の粉・蕨の粉・小豆を混ぜてもよい。入方辺りはこの餅を拵えて食べたので、海尻辺りより藁の類が尽きた。これによって馬の食物がなく、松葉を馬に食べさせたという。平賀より御拝借、冬中より四度下されるといえども、高値の穀物なので暮らしが成り立ち難く、相木・川上よりは種々の売り物を拵え、我も我もと里へ下ることは櫛の歯を引くがごとしである。まず俎板・下駄

Due to such prices, in the Kawakami region as well as the areas of Hotchi, Nashizawa, and Omogae, there was absolutely no way to make ends meet, and many abandoned their homes and fled. Regarding straw rice cakes, notices were circulated to all villages under the jurisdiction of Komoro and Mikage domains. The method was as follows: first, soak straw properly in water to remove the lye, thoroughly remove and wash away the sand, cut the ears, and from the root end
finely chop it, steam it, dry it thoroughly, grind it with a parching mortar, make it fine and sieve it. Into one shō of this powder, add about two gō of rice powder, steam it like proper rice cakes, or boil it and add salt or miso to eat. If there is no rice powder available, kudzu powder, bracken powder, or red beans mixed in will also do. Since the Irikata area prepared and ate these cakes, straw and similar materials were exhausted around Kaijiri. Consequently, there was no feed for horses, so they fed pine needles to the horses. Although loans were provided from Hiraga four times since winter, the grain prices were so high that it was difficult to sustain livelihoods. From Aigi and Kawakami, they prepared various goods to sell, and everyone rushed down to the villages like pulling teeth from a comb. First, cutting boards and wooden clogs
