17세기 강원청의 공물 조달과 재정운영 안정책

Abstract

In the second year of King Injo’s reign(1624), the Gangwon-do Daedong Act was implemented. As a result, the Gang-woncheong(江原廳) became a key institution in the procurement of tribute. However, the Gang-woncheong(江原 廳) had difficulties in operating due to insufficient land area and excessive tribute burden. As a result, the Gang -woncheong(江原廳) paid tribute prices differently depending on whether the harvest was good or bad, or paid a lower price. This method of paying tribute prices was revised to a flat-rate payment method during the integration process with the Hoseocheong(湖⻄廳).
 The outbreak of famine in the late 17th century affected the operation of the Gang-woncheong(江原廳). At the time, the Gang- woncheong(江原廳) was in such serious financial difficulty that it could not repay the borrowed resources from other institutions. Due to this, the Gangwon Office sought a fiscal security policy. First, a plan to increase revenue was attempted. This led to the implementation of Gichug-yangjeon(己丑量田). However, as the amount of Daedong tax was reduced by 2 to 4 heads, central repayment portion actually decreased. also attempted to reduce expenditures. However, expenditures actually increased due to the temporary burden of recovering tribute and the temporary burden of fishing in the Yeongdong(嶺東) region. In addition, it was not easy to reduce the tribute price in a situation where the price of tribute was set low at the beginning of the Gangwon-do Daedongbeobt. As such, the Gang-woncheong(江原廳)'s fiscal policy did not achieve any significant results. As a result, it became a regular practice for Gangwon Office to receive tribute support from the Honamheong(湖南廳).
