Level of Landlord and Long-term WorkerIn the traditional relationship between landowners and long-term workers, there was no strict division of " ranks." However, from the perspective of economic and social status, the landlord was in a higher exploitation class, and the long-term workers were in the exploited class.
Landlords owned land and other means of production. They earned economic benefits by hiring long-term workers to cultivate the land or engage in other labor. Large landowners often owned a large amount of land and may employ more long-term workers, which had a greater influence on local economic and social affairs. Small and medium-sized landowners had relatively less land and employed fewer long-term workers.
Most of the long-term workers were poor farmers. Because they did not have land or other means of production, they could only make a living by selling their labor force. They were at the bottom of society and were hired and managed by the landlord. Their remuneration was often low, and they had to endure various exploitation behaviors that the landlord might have, such as unreasonable workload, meager wages, poor accommodation, etc. However, there were also some cases where the landlord treated the long-term workers relatively well.
