『Yonghadorok(用下都錄)』 owned by WonjuLee clan and a clan history information

『Yonghadorok (用下都錄)』 began to be recorded in 1891, but there is no record of the rent-free land paid for wages〔‘Sarai’-farmland〕 to the mountain keepers and other employees until 1908. Even if you search for '私內(‘Sarai’)' on various websites such as the Korean History Database (https://db.history.go.kr), you will not find any articles that provided the answer in ‘Sarai’-farmland during the Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that during the Joseon Dynasty, the employees of clan were not paid the ‘Sarai’-farmland. More than 80 percent of the expenditures were for the purchase of goods and meals for sacrifices and clan meetings. Through this, a clan funds was operated solely for the purpose of sacrifice. Thus It does not seek to increase its income in the same way as usury. The tenant farmers were confined to the same clan and his employees (mountain keepers etc.). In addition, when they were cut due to drought, they waived or reduced the rent of the crop. From this, it can be seen that the original purpose of clan fund was for the benefit of clansman. When extraordinary sums of money were needed, such as the construction and renovation of clan-owned buildings, each sub-clan was required to pay its own contribution. In addition, pine and bamboo from clan-owned mountains were sold to make up for it. On the other hand, the work was carried out in favor of a flat or good harvest year, avoiding a famine year. Employees were provided with arable land exempt from tenant fees. In particular, full-time mountain keepers were provided with houses and household goods, and bonuses were given according to custom. He was also given a congratulatory allowance. When the colonial government had to name a new family name, In order to maintain the identity of the clan, it was recommended that the clan be renamed after the name of the clan shrine. However, in the 『Yonghadorok (用下都錄)』, the existing family names were retained.
