This was "salary" of Hattori family.
However,Ōkubo family of Odawara lord.
They had also a debt to the merchants of Kyoto Osaka.
Financial health of Odawara clan was worse already.
(Most clan of Japan had a similar situation.)
"Salary reduction."
As a countermeasure, clan government have done this against samurai.
Although I think it's debt from clan probably.
Hattori seems to have been further withheld the debt from payment rice along with it.
1200 bales－salary reduction－debt to clan = 403 bales
This was the real earnings of Hattori family at that time.
And their debt was 246 ryō.
When Kinjiro took on fiscal consolidation.
This was the state of their economy.
246 ryō of debt.
After this，Kinjiro was refinancing to the debt of low interest rates of Odawara clan from high-interest debt.
Debt from clan ＋ debt from merchant = 246 ryō.
Maybe this is this.
・・・・・・・・・
By the way,according to Hōtoku-ki.
Fief of Hattori family is 1300 koku.
And they were family generations of senior statesmen.
But there was a debt of 1000 ryō to them at that time.
They no longer could not pay both principal and interest.
Family head began to think about the resignation at last.
"There are peasant named Kinjiro in kayama village.
He was born in the poor house.
He was widowed parents at a young age.
And he lost all the property.
He was became to adult by virtue of assistance of relatives.
However，he made rice one bale first.
He finally revived the house as fund this.
And he is quite considerate.
This is the nature of outstanding.
If you treat him cordially，and if you ask the reform of your finance to him.
He would feels indebted to you surely.
And he will keep effort to fiscal consolidation surely.
The rise of Hattori family.
It is in the hands of him."
Hattori Jūrobee of Hattori family head.
There was a person to advise him so.
