押租制度是中国封建社会明清时代新发展起来的一种封建租佃剥削制度。在这种制度下,地主对劳动者的剥削相当惨酷,这是不需要多作说明的。在这篇文章里,只是试图在此前提下,对清代押租制度出现的前提条件、基本特征、类型变化以及其历史作用,根据前人的研究成果及已发表的有关史料,作一点探讨。意见很不成熟,请给予批评指正。一有一种观点认为,押租制度的发生与发展,是同人多地少的现象相联系的。人多地少,而土地又是集中在地主手中,无地的农民欲求承佃地主的土地耕作,难免发生竞佃现象,因 The system of renting rent is a feudal tenant exploitation system newly developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China’s feudal society. Under such a system, the exploitation of workers by landlords is rather cruel. This does not require much explanation. In this article, I only try to make some discussion on the prerequisites, basic features, types of the emergence of the rent rent system in Qing Dynasty and its historical role under the premise of this article. Based on the research results of predecessors and the published relevant historical materials, I will make some discussions. Opinion is very immature, please give criticism and correction. In one view, the occurrence and development of the rent-rent system are linked to the phenomenon of more land and less land. The land is concentrated in the hands of the landlords, and the landless peasants are trying to cultivate the land of the landlords and tenants, which inevitably leads to tenancy disputes.
