How much land was granted for the seigneural system and where was it located?
You do not specify whether you are referring to the seigneurial system in general or the seigneurial system of New France. The seigneurial system was located all over kingdoms of Europe. Another term for this is system is manorial system .Seigneur is the French for lord of the manor. These were barons who owned most of the land at the local level. Political, legal and economic power was vested in the lord of the manor. Economically this was based of the lords' landholdings in a manor (or fief). Peasants were required to offer certain amounts of labour services (corvee labour) on these holdings. Tributes in kind (mostly livestock) were also required. Some of the lord's land was rented. Originally rent came in the form of sharecropping in which the peasants had to give the lords a share of their harvest. Then payments in cash became common. This applied to all peasants who came under the lord's jurisdiction. For a long time the peasants were the serfs of the lord and were not allowed to leave the jurisdiction. However, manorialism outlasted serfdom and feudalism. The seigneurial system of New France refers to the application manorial system in New France, the French colonies in North America: Quebec in Canada and the American Midwest. The Company of New France was given vast land grants and extensive trade rights in exchange for bringing 4,000 settlers to America. It was located all over the vast French possessions. However, migration to New France was very low, which limited the effectiveness of the system, the amount of land which could be rented out and the economy of the colony.
