unreasonable

There were lords of about three hundred in Japan at that time.
They had autonomy withIn a certain range.
As a corollary,Status of their territory was different respectively.
(For example，Annual tribute ratio was different respectively.)

Directly incorporate the status of the Sendai clan to other territory.
Therefore this will impossible.

However，If the farmers tried to sell rice，Rice merchant would have interposed.
Of course,It will be cheaper than the market price.

For example，Income of Kinjiro Family.
It was low reliably.

Farmers were not related to money economy .
Because they were self-sufficient only.
Of course there is this possibility.

But according to the letter of resignation of Kinjiro of 1828.
　
"Rice 5 gou per person per day."
Kinjiro was calculated so.
　
1 gou(合) is about 180g.
5 gō is about 900g

1 koku is about 180kg

180×7÷0,9÷365＝3,83561643835
Amount of one year of the family of 3,8 people.
　
Self-sufficiency of the family of Kinjiro.
Maybe this is a little unreasonable.

1791, Kinjiro was at the age of five.
Farmland of his family was ruined by the flood.

"Kinjiro family was poor originally.
They became poorer by this."
　
Tomita Takayoshi of Soma samurai.
He was a disciple of Kinjiro.
1856、He wrote a biography of Kinjiro after Kinjiro died.

It named "Hōtoku-ki".（報徳記）
(This biography will honor the achievements of Kinjiro.
This biography is not an accurate record.)

Tomita wrote so in this biography.

1800(Father)，1802(Mother).
Kinjiro parents died one after another.
