天正三年織田信長の徳政について

抄録

In March 1575 (the 3rd year of Tensho) Nobunaga Oda issued the moratorium (Tokusei), by which the court nobles (Kuge) and the priest-princes (Monzeki) could cancel all their debts and recover their lands which they had owned, in order to help their financial state overall. And he expected that it would have a good effect if he ordered the creditors to give up their bonds issue the letters to cancel debts or the letters of debts. Though regarding the cancellation of their debts, the moratorium worked considerably, about the recovery of their land, it didn't have much effect because of the creditor's resistances, and it complicated the state of their claims rather than clearing. Consequently we must agree to that the moratorium didn't achieve its purpose. But in November of the same year, Nobunaga Oda gave the court nobles and priest-princes fiefs in Yamashiro province, subject to "Shinchi" no matter wether they had owned them before or not, and "Zikimu', that they directly ordered them. Thus the Oda regime changed its new policy against the Imperial Court (Chotei), So that it could make the financial state of the court nobles and priest-princes stable.
