Since New France was a colony, it was expected to provide inexpensive, raw materials for the mother country which was France. Habitants helped by farming the raw materials and giving it to the seigneur. They used the farming to pay off their dept or they can pay off their dept in coins. These two methods of payment are called `cens et rens`. A seigneur is an official in New France who divided the land into rectangular strips for the Habitants to farm in. Almost every Habitant lives in 32 hector parcels of land. The seigneur did not own the land, but the king of France did which was King Lois the 14th. The seigneur was only asked to divide the land. Usually the seigneur`s plot was the biggest.
