an open secret

Few years has elapsed, boss of Kinjiro returned to Odawara on one after another.
 I do not know this reason.　
(One person seems to have been prone to illness.)
　
Person of its successor has been dispatched from Odawara of course.
But takeover of the work seems to have not performed well.

He did not understand well about the development situation of this territory.
And in fact Kinjiro also seems to have been the same situation.　

"Let's understand the current situation of rural anyway."
They began the status survey in cooperation.
　
His name ”Yokoyama Shūhei.”　
He might have been the first person among the colleagues who was understanding about Kinjiro's work.

But he also have been prone to illness.
A few years later, he died.

According to the Hōtokuki.

In later years，when Kinjiro is talking about Yokoyama.
He shed tears always.
(Tomita of author also might have heard about Yokoyama from Kinjiro.)
 　
By the way，this change of person.　
And the dispatch of a person favorable to Kinjiro.
　
Intention of Tadazane of the Odawara lord might have existed there.
And just maybe，at the urging from Kinjiro,this change might was carry out.
　

・・・・・・・・・　
　
　
Results of the investigation，surprising fact was found.
　
Official data of public office about rural and rural reality.
(For example，the situation of the fields.)
This did not match at all.　

Taxation had been run on the basis of this official data to peoples under the utsu family's dominion.　
　
"Data is base of the reconstruction plan.
If this is wrong，making the correct reconstruction plan is impossible."

Kinjiro was recreated the new data based on the this survey.


・・・・・・・・・　
　
　
"This was found by examining."
Kinjiro wrote so.

However，he may have knew from before.
(Because he was on the site always.)
Or this was an open secret.
　
"The administration is carried out based on the data.
And it should be the case.
But its data has been tampered with."　
Just maybe，He was looking for a chance for change this justifiably.
