右の通り先年より度々触れを出したところ、近年この届け出がない向きもあるようで、いかがなことである。今後は前々からの取り決めを厳格に守り、浪人が住居する際は証文を差し出すよう、向寄分は御代官所その他武士屋敷・寺社等まで、浪人を置く場合は証文を取って担当の御目付へ提出するよう各方面へ伝達すべきである。

○有君御方を姫君様と称し奉ること 五月二十八日
○この度厳しい倹約令が出された以上は、公儀のみならず諸大名といえども万事入用を少なくして各々安心して勤務できるようにしたい。勤務とはいうものの、御武事に関することは、たとえ意外な散財があったとしても、元来銘々の覚悟のことなので、別段申し上げることもないが、平常の勤務並びに献上物等の無益な費用は、できるだけ省くようにしたい。献上物の件については、享保・寛政の度々にわたって次第に手軽な方に仰せ出されたが、古今同種の価格も時勢によって高下があることなので、従来の献上の内でも江戸表で調達していた品を在産に替える、または在産の品も江戸表の調達に替える方が都合の良い向きもあれば、少しも遠慮なく伺い出ること。御用向に支障のない分は申し立て通りに認めよう。また年中定例・臨時の御祝儀事について、鮮鯛献上の際、暑中或いは連日風雨の時に品物の調達が困難で心配な上、不相当な入用があると聞いている。また炎暑の時分などはなおさら大変な心配があろうが、差し上げた後時刻も移ることで御用に立ちかねることもあり、いずれにしても諸家の無益な失費なので、御樽代・鯖代等に準じ例を以て、今後鮮鯛献上の際は十万石以上は金二千疋、五万石以上は同千疋、五万石以下は同五百疋の代金を以て納めるようにすること。

○泰姫君様の件、御城へお引き取りになったので、今後は御引移以前の姫君様御並びの通りと仰せ出されたので、心得のため各方面へも伝達しておくこと 九月
○諸国酒造の件、半高相減で半高酒造をするよう去る子年に触れを出したところ、当丑年については諸国豊熟の趣きにつき追って沙汰に及ぶまでは、去る巳年以前まで造ってきた米高の内三分の一を減らし三分の二で酒造をすること。もっとも隠造・過造等がないよう取り締まり方については全てこれまで通り心得、いよいよ厳重に行うべきである。もし隠造・過造等を行う場合は、その者はもちろんその所の役人まで吟味の上厳重に処罰する。心得違いのないようにすること。
右の趣き御料・私領・寺社領とも漏れのないよう早々触れ知らせるものである。

○近年凶作が打ち続いたが、両三年以来作柄も大分良いので、凶年非常の備えが自然と等閑になりがちであろう。御料所でも囲籾を仰せ付けられているので、私領の分も分限高一万石につき籾百石の割合を以て、当丑年より巳年まで五ヶ年の間囲い置くよう仰せ出された。一同節倹に努めその領地に有用な備え等があろうが、天下の御備えに相当し御安心のことと思し召される。寛政度の厚い御趣意を以て仰せ出された囲穀の分、やむを得ない用途に遣い払い詰め戻しが未だ済まない向きは、できるだけ当丑年に詰め戻すよう...
英語訳
As stated above, although notices have been issued repeatedly from previous years, it appears that in recent years there are some who have failed to make the required reports, which is improper. Henceforth, the previous regulations must be strictly observed. When ronin (masterless samurai) take up residence, they must submit documentation. For areas under the jurisdiction of deputy administrators (daikan), as well as samurai residences, temples and shrines, when housing ronin, documentation must be obtained and submitted to the responsible inspector (metsuke). This directive should be communicated to all relevant parties.
Fifth month
○ That the honorable lady of Lord Arikimi shall be addressed as Princess (Himegimi-sama). Twenty-eighth day of the fifth month
○ Now that strict economy measures have been ordered, it is desired that not only the shogunate but also all daimyo reduce expenses in all matters so that each may serve with peace of mind. Although we speak of service, matters relating to military affairs are originally each person's responsibility, so even if unexpected expenditures occur, there is nothing particular to report. However, it is desired that wasteful expenses for ordinary service and tribute goods be reduced as much as possible. Regarding tribute goods, although orders have been repeatedly issued during the Kyōhō and Kansei eras to make them simpler, prices for the same items fluctuate according to circumstances. Therefore, if it would be more convenient to replace items previously procured in Edo with local products, or to replace local products with items procured in Edo, such requests may be made without hesitation. Matters that do not interfere with official duties may be approved as requested. Furthermore, regarding annual regular and special celebratory occasions, when presenting fresh sea bream during hot weather or consecutive days of wind and rain, procurement is difficult and costly, causing much concern. During hot seasons especially, there would be even greater concern, but since time passes after presentation, the items may not serve their purpose well. In any case, this represents wasteful expenditure for the various houses. Therefore, following the precedent of sake barrel fees and mackerel fees, henceforth for fresh sea bream presentations: domains of 100,000 koku or more shall pay 2,000 mon in gold, those of 50,000 koku or more shall pay 1,000 mon, and those below 50,000 koku shall pay 500 mon as monetary payment.
Ninth month
○ Regarding Princess Yasu, since she has been taken into the castle, it is ordered that henceforth she shall be treated the same as princesses were before the relocation. This should be communicated to all parties for their information. Ninth month
○ Regarding sake brewing in the provinces: although an order was issued in the previous year of the Rat to reduce production by half, since this year of the Ox appears to have good harvests throughout the provinces, until further notice, sake production should use two-thirds of the rice amount used until the previous year of the Snake, reducing it by one-third. Naturally, supervision should be conducted as before to ensure there is no hidden or excessive brewing, and should be carried out even more strictly. If hidden or excessive brewing occurs, not only the perpetrator but also the local officials will be investigated and severely punished. There must be no misunderstanding of these rules.
These directives should be promptly communicated without fail to shogunal lands, private domains, and temple/shrine lands.
Ninth month
○ Although poor harvests continued in recent years, crops have been mostly good for the past two or three years, so preparations for years of famine and emergency may naturally become neglected. Since rice reserves have been ordered even for shogunal territories, private domains should also set aside rice reserves at a rate of 100 koku of hulled rice per 10,000 koku of assessed income for five years from this year of the Ox until the year of the Snake. While all should practice frugality and may have useful preparations in their territories, this corresponds to preparations for the realm and brings peace of mind to His Lordship. Regarding the grain reserves ordered with the generous intent of the Kansei period, for unavoidable expenditures where replenishment has not yet been completed, replenishment should be made as much as possible in this year of the Ox...
