Various Types of Wealthy Farmers' Management in Advanced Region Kinai in the 19th Century

以往对近代日本富农的研究都是基于一户人家遗留下来的文献。但在本次研究中，我们将研究场地设置在19世纪日本最先进的地区南山城地区，并调查了许多富农住宅的历史文献。我们探讨了富农之间的关系，封建领主与富农和富村之间的关系，城市金融家与富农之间的关系。因此，我们发现封建领主在各种情况下都在经济上依赖富农，富农网络中存在着一个核心富农。这样的富农从京都或大阪的金融家那里获得了贷款，并借给了其他富农。在生产能力雄厚、资金充裕的环境下，出现了引领地区经济发展的企业。

Former researches on wealthy farmers in modern Japan are based on documents remain in one house. But in this research, we set the field in Minamiyamashiro area which is the most advanced region in the 19th century Japan, and investigated historical documents of many wealthy farmers' house. We explored the relation among wealthy farmers, the relation among feudal lords and wealthy farmers and villages, and the relation among city financiers and wealthy farmers. As a result, we found the fact that feudal lords had economically depended on wealthy farmers in various situations, and that a core wealthy farmer existed in the wealthy farmers' network. Such a wealthy farmer had obtained loans from the financiers of Kyoto or Osaka, and had lent to other wealthy farmers. Those who lead the economic development of the area had appeared in the environment of rich productive capacity and the flow of abundant funds.
