What is a tenant?
Tenants are also called Qin Bo tenants. The tenant originally confessed himself. For example, in the eighth year of the Song and Yuan Dynasties (1093), they "added hundreds of hectares of farmland to make their families follow the example of their hometown and invite people to farm"; In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the land was given 2,000 hectares, but it was still "rented by people, * * * 624 households".
In the four years of orthodoxy (1439), "by imperial decree, 500 households will be saved, and * * * 2,000 people will see a hundred acres" has become a gift. The tenant farmer's duty is to "devote himself to farming and collect seeds for temple sacrifices" and avoid his "chores", which is also called Qin Bo tenant farmer.
After the Qing Dynasty, the number of tenants increased day by day. In the fifty-second year of Kangxi, "the tenants in Wutun guarded Ding 4,120 ... and those in Guanzhuang guarded Ding 8,940". In the twenty-five years of Qianlong (1760), there were "240 households with five villages, 3 households with 8,600 households with Ding, 73 households with official villages and 0/640 households with Ding", with a total of 3 13 households and 10243 households.
In Banquan Town, Junan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, there is a village called Diannong Village, which was named after being poor and working for landlords. There is a village called Tenant Camp in Longyao County and Ningjin County of Hebei Province, with the same name as above.
