Tadahiro is also known for his financial reforms. In the early years of the 19th century, Himeji domain was in serious financial difficulties. Among other policies, Tadahiro ordered that paper currency printed in the domain (''[[hansatsu]]'') would be used to pay for [[cotton]] within the domain, thus helping to stem the outflow of [[currency|coin]] from the domain.<ref name=himeji>Gallery labels, Himeji castle.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/32430314528/sizes/h/]</ref>
Later in the 19th century, the domain was assigned to take on responsibilities supplying troops for coastal defense and riot (''[[ikki]]'') suppression in the [[Kinai]] region.<ref name=himeji/>
