Serfs earned the right to live on the land by working it. Sometimes they were not paid, and sometimes they were paid very little. Sometimes they could earn money by selling some of the food they grew, but they had to pay rent to their lords.

Russian czar who freed the serfs?
Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs in 1861, but the serfs were still bound to the land for another 49 years. The Russian government took land from the landowners and paid them for it. This land was put into collectives and each serf had to make enough money over the next 49 years to repay the government the money it had given to the landowners. Once the debt was paid off the serf was free to leave if he wanted. Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.

How could serfs move up from the bottom of the social hierarchy?
The reason this happened was because they were dirty, and only knew about low rank information. If you were a serf you would probably know only little about life and how it all was formed. KARMILIE!:)

Which emperor decided to free the serfs?
Tsar Alexander II "freed" the serfs in 1861, which sounded well and good but they weren't truly freed. In order to provide the "freed" serfs with land to work and live on, the Russian government took land from the owners, paid them for it then turned it over to village collectives called mirs. The serfs were part of the mir and were required to repay the Russian government over a 49 year period. The "free" serfs could not leave the land until the government was fully paid. Neither the landowners nor the serfs were happy with the situation. Alexander II was later assassinated in 1881.
Did scribes get paid?
Yes and no. Whether a medieval worker was paid depended on the situation. Many serfs worked on manors where they raised all sorts of crops. Instead of paying rent on the land they used, they worked on the fields the lord of the manor owned. In addition to getting use of land and a home, they also got protection from criminals and armies in wartime out of this, but money was not part of deal. People who were not serfs generally worked for pay or for themselves. There were also times when the serfs got paid.
Freeing the serfs did what for the Russians?
In practical effects, it did nothing. Serfs were bound to the land that they worked. When Tsar Alexander II issued the Emancipation Manifesto it freed the serfs but created economic conditions that made it impractical to leave. The Russian government took land from the owners but paid them for it. Then the serfs were required to repay the government with what were called "redemption payments." Typically, redemption took about 49 years. Serfs were free to leave but if they did leave they had no land to work. Many left for the cities to work in factories instead. If former serfs wanted to own their own farms, they had to pay the redemption payments first.
