taedong system, I will only cite specific pages if it might be of some use for consult-
ing primary references. The taedong system is discussed in the eighteenth-century MHBG
kwon 152-54; the text of the regulations for Ch'ungch'ong (Taedong chormok) is in

- Han found that between r744 and r 834 Ch'ungch'ong's taxable land rose to 76.9
percent (from 71.4 percent), which might have reduced the tax differential between the
two provinces, since Ch'ungch'ong's basis for taxes increased. Ibid., p. 33 n.67. Han also
pointed out that since the average number of persons per household was 3.5, he assumes
that the statistics only counted adult males and females and not children. - Ibid., part 2, pp. 39-47.
- In r653 instructions were issued that liberal prices ought to be paid from taedong
revenues from Ch'ungch'ong Province for food items used by the Royal Cuisine Office
(Saongwon) to attract a sufficient supply of goods through the open market, and Kim
Yuk sought to reduce costs by substituting more plentiful and cheaper pigs or calves for
the costlier deer previously required for royal tribute or ritual ceremonies. Han Yongguk,

reported that the taedong tax was divided into a seven mal/kyollevy in the fall, and six
mal/kyol in the spring, as established by law in r658 prior to the adoption of a cloth tax
for upland Cholla in 1662, MHBG 152:r8b-r9a.
