石斗俵

Hattori of chief retainer of Odawara clan who Kinjiro had served previously.
Kinjiro has been delegated the fiscal reform of Hattori family in 1818.


・・・・・・・・・
　
　
By the way，according to the materials at hand.
Income of Hattori family.

1200 koku
1200 hyou (bales).
Number of two types are present.　

1 koku is 10 (to).
That is about 180 liter.　
　
1 hyou is 4 (to).
That is about 72 liter.
　
If I use the 1200 bales.
It become about 480 koku.
So actual number will change considerably.

Odawara clan was located in the western part of current Kanagawa Prefecture.
Of course their financial difficulties was the same as elsewhere.

First，vassal of the lord had a territory of their own.
So they were lords of in their lord territory.

However，finances of the clan became painful gradually.

Therefore lord received once the territory of the vassal for collectively manage the tax revenue of clan territory.
And lord have passed the rice corresponding to territory of vassal from the national（clan） treasury.
This system became generalize gradually.

This is a casual idea.
Does not have any evidence.

Just maybe、when converted to this system in Odawara clan.

"１koku is 1 hyou."
It might be fixed like that by subtracting the various expenses of such as protection of the vassal territory.
　
Incidentally、hyou（俵） is a bag for pack the rice.

By the way，(to) is (斗) of Chinese characters.
(to) is not english (to).
