現代語訳
御座候間、右の趣を御百姓共にも申し聞かせ、御百姓の払米も凶年の口留の節は、跡々の通り他国へ出さないようにしたいと存じる段、則ち役人が去春御代官所まで差し越して申し入れ候。口留を申し付け候内、他国へ出来る御料米の外は、越前御領主方の蔵米・御用米の内、他国へ御出し候節は、時々御断りがあって俵数を承り出し申候。御領主方御領地の内の町人百姓等商売の米穀は出さない候。
一、御代官所の米穀は外の雑穀と紛れないように御吟味の上、御代官中より判鑑を以て御百姓共勝手次第、
滞りなく他国へ付け送り候て売り払い、その代金を以て御年貢上納並びに雑穀調達候えば、百姓には甘くなり候間、右の通り兵部大輔役人と御申し合わせ成されたく由、御代官中より御勘定所へ御達しあり候間、何れにも兵部大輔領分の内の改めに障り申さず、御代官所の米穀通路成候ようにとの了簡の儀、御聞き成されたく由を仰せ聞かれ、得その意奉存候。
右御書付の通り、御料御百姓米の儀は御代官所御吟味の上は、私領米と紛れることなく御座する儀に奉存候えども、御料御百姓等商米の儀、願いの儀に付き口留の節も
英語訳
Therefore, this matter should also be communicated to the farmers, and regarding the farmers' rice sales, during times of crop failure when export restrictions are in place, we wish to prevent exports to other provinces as has been done traditionally. Accordingly, officials went to the magistrate's office last spring to make this request. While export restrictions are in effect, except for imperial rice that can be exported to other provinces, when rice from Echizen domain lords' storehouses and official rice is exported to other provinces, permission is sought each time and the number of rice bales is reported before export. Rice and grain for commercial purposes by townspeople and farmers within the domain lords' territories are not exported.
1. Rice and grain from the magistrate's office should be carefully inspected to ensure they are not confused with other miscellaneous grains, and with certificates from the magistrates, farmers may freely
send them to other provinces without delay for sale, and with the proceeds pay their annual taxes and procure miscellaneous grains, which would benefit the farmers. Therefore, the magistrates have reported to the finance office requesting coordination with the officials of Hyōbu-Taiyu (a court rank), so that rice and grain from the magistrate's office can pass through Hyōbu-Taiyu's territory without hindrance to inspections within his domain. We have been asked to consider this matter and understand the intention.
As stated in the above document, regarding imperial farmers' rice, after inspection by the magistrate's office, we believe there will be no confusion with private domain rice. However, regarding the commercial rice of imperial farmers, since this is a matter of petition, even during export restrictions
