election

"Election."

Kinjiro took in this way to the beginning his reform.
He elected several people as a good worker by farmer's themselves election.
　
New farm tools、newly built house、etc、he provided it to the electoral winners.
Of course there was a difference to its contents by their ranking of the election.

・・・・・・・・・

Farmers with high−interest debt.
Kinjiro provided low-interest loans to them from the reform cost.

However、its interest rate was not constant.
Non-interest-bearing or low interest rates.
Long term or short term.
He set up a repayment plan on case-by-case basis of each farmers.　

Territory of Utsu family was three villages(about 750 people at this time）.
This way might had been possible because their territory was its scale.

"Farmers there is no debt should be preferential treatment."
And also、Kinjiro was thought so.

At the start of reform、he paid the merchant 660 ryo of farmers debt.

14 people who had no debt at that time.
"Next fiscal year、I will duty free them."　
He has announced so.

And take a high−interest debt、it was banned.
Of course、they was able to receive the low-interest loans.
(There was limited to its use purpose.)

・・・・・・・・・

"The wealth.
It has nothing to do with the property of its people.
　
Person with an income of $100 at month.
If he to live in $99 a month、at 1 year、he will have a $12 surplus.
If he to live in $101 a month、at 1 year、he will have a $12 deficit.

Its accumulation.　
It is the positive and negative wealth ."

Although this is way of thinking very rustic、but thought of Kinjiro was like this.

the diary

September 9 1822(Lunar calendar).
※And of course it is written in the era name of Japan.

According to the diary of Kinjiro、probably the first election has been made at this day.

・・・・・・・・・

"At Yokota village.
Total number of people、15 people.　

Youhachi・5 votes 1 hoe　
Syoujirou・3 votes 2 sickles
Chuuemon・2 votes 1 sickle
Son of Tomizou・2 votes 1 sickle

At Yahee group of Higashinuma village.
Total number of people、17 people.　
(Yahee is name of the village head.
Probably、there were multiple village heads called ”Nanushi” in one village.)

Ichizaemon・４ votes 1 hoe　
Takeshichi・3 votes 2 sickles
Sannosuke・2 votes 1 sickle
Yoshitarou・2 votes 1 sickle"

Elections were held in three villages in this way.　
Of course it was held at a separate constituency.
　
And therefore、possibility that the ranking will be at the top was not low.　

・・・・・・・・・

August 1(of intercalary month) 1824.
According to the diary of Kinjiro.

Kinjiro's servant of named "Enzou".　
He served Kinjiro for several years at that time.

"You are repay all the debt、you don't need to serve others already.
You become a independent farmer at here?"
Kinjiro heard to him.
※I do not know now about the contents of his debt.

Enzo consent it.　
Kinjiro asked to Yahe of Higashinuma village nanushi and Enzo became a farmer at there.

In fact、Kinjiro was actively encouraging new settlers at the time.
One of reasons was labor shortage by new rice field development.　

And this became one of the causes of trouble.
