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.
Advantages: They can eat what they growed Disadvantages: They had to pay money to the Seigneur
first of all its the seigneurial system, the seigneur is the head of the place which is called the seigneury. second of all the king granted the seigneur and his family land for free, the seigneur is then to divide up the land and give it to habitant for a seigneurial due or in other words the habitant pay rent. the habitant are farmers. hope this helps :P

A typical seigneurie was a large land grant in New France, given by the King to a seigneur who would then distribute smaller plots to settlers. The seigneurie system helped establish a hierarchical society and promote agriculture in the colony. Seigneuries often included a manor house for the seigneur and a mill for the settlers to use.
Because it was part of france
Habitants, or French-Canadian farmers in New France, typically paid rent through a system of feudal obligations. They would provide a portion of their agricultural produce, such as grain or livestock, to their seigneur (landlord) as rent. Additionally, they might perform labor or services for the seigneur, especially during harvest time. This arrangement was part of a broader system that emphasized agricultural production and mutual obligations between seigneurs and habitants.
