The territory of the Qing Dynasty was very vast, why did the people lack land?

The doubling of the Han population in the Qing Dynasty led to a further shortage of arable land per capita in Guannai, and exacerbated the phenomenon of lack of land among the common people.

Because in the Qing Dynasty, China's population showed a first-class growth, and the total area of cultivated land did not change much.

This is because although the territory at that time was vast, many of them were mountainous or saline-alkali land, and they could not grow food, so many people did not have land.

Because the Han people during the Qing Dynasty could actually only live in the "eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty", as for the huge territory of the Qing Dynasty, it has nothing to do with them, and the population of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty doubled.

In feudal society, land was mainly in the hands of the landlords, and the people could only farm for the landlords and pay rations.

Because although the territory of the Qing Dynasty was vast, many places were not suitable for planting farmland, so the people did not get much land.

This is related to some policies of the Qing Dynasty, although the territory of the Qing Dynasty is very large, but the population of the people is also large, so the land allocated is very small.

1. The population at that time increased dramatically during the Qianlong period; 2. The development of industry occupies a large amount of land.

The Qing Dynasty incorporated the Ding Yin that had been passed down through the dynasties into a tax system levied by Tian Fu. It is a feudal society in China.

An important reform of the later enslavement system. It originated from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods. Its main content is the abolition of the poll tax, after which the Chinese population.

The rapid growth is objectively a relaxation of personal control over the peasants at the bottom.

The practice of spreading into acres:

The collection of Ding Yin into the field tax abolished the previous "poll tax", so that the landless peasants and other laborers were freed from the burden of Ding labor for thousands of years; The increased tax burden on landlords also limited or eased land annexation to a certain extent.

The burden on landless peasants is relatively light.

At the same time, the control of household registration was also relaxed, so that farmers and craftsmen could move freely and sell their labor. It is conducive to arousing the production enthusiasm of the vast number of peasants and other laborers and promoting the progress of social production.

The Ming Dynasty practiced a whip law.

The Qing Dynasty continued to implement it, and part of the Ding silver was levied on the acres of land, and part of the Ding silver was levied on a per capita basis. When it came to Qianlong, it was passed through the whole country, and after the spread into the mu, the land was one.

Ding Yin and Tian Fu unified the taxation of acres of land, simplifying the tax and collection procedures.
