Law of China

Legislation continued to provide for periodic redistribution of per capita (arable) allotments and these responsibilities were assigned to community authorities (local headmen). However, it was stipulated that in those places where the land is not enough, it is necessary to give allotments in smaller than established sizes. In addition, it was allowed freely (albeit with the knowledge of the authorities) to sell the fields of "perpetual cultivation", and under certain conditions, and put a cushion on. In some cases (in the absence of employees and the host's service in other places), the lease of the allotment was allowed, although, as a rule, it was forbidden. Legislation of China ....

The noted amendments and exceptions indicate that under Tan, as before, the implementation of the allotment system was not at all like a universal equalizing land use. Therefore, the above conclusion that in many areas the all-all-inclusive system was limited only to the ascertainment of the really existing orders in land use, is applicable for the time described.

This is all the more likely that the "redistribution" of the plots has now been officially entrusted to the village communities themselves. Moreover, with the course of time, researchers note a tendency to reduce the area of land in the households of donors by reducing the per capita temporary use.

Nevertheless, the all-inclusive system provided the peasant household with a minimum of 20 hectares of "perpetual cultivation", which, as a rule, were planted, not under the mulberry tree, and in many cases of different sizes, the plowing fields. The number of registered households - the main units of taxation - by the middle of the VIII century. Exceeded 8.9 million, which gave the Treasury significant and relatively stable income.

The all-inclusive system of Sui and Tang provided for the possession of the nobility and bureaucracy. Under Sui, the nobles relied on possession of 40 mu to 100 zinc of land, and officials - from 5 czn for the highest and then with a decrease of 50 mu for each lower rank.

Under Tan aristocracy and people with different titles, there were given as fields of "eternal cultivation" from 60 mu to 100 cz, and to officials of higher ranks (up to the fifth inclusive) - from 5 to 60 cz. Officials of lower ranks also received similar possessions, but from a special, "revolving" fund of allotment land, and therefore their sizes are not indicated. In addition, all officials received more "official lands", the area of which fluctuated depending on the rank between 12 and 2 cins.
