Roku-yū

Japanese: 禄邑 - ろくゆう

A type of stipend system in Korea and Silla. Apart from being temporarily abolished between 689 and 757, it was in place throughout the Silla period. Until its temporary abolition, the stipend system, like the shok-eup system, was a system in which certain ruling rights over specific regions were given to aristocratic bureaucrats as a stipend, and is thought to have originated from the territorial control of the former chieftain class. In contrast, after the stipend system was revived, specific villages were designated as stipends for each government office, and the funds were used for expenses such as stipends, and individual bureaucrats were not allowed to have fixed control over villages.

Japanese:

朝鮮，新羅の俸禄制度の一種。689年から757年までの間，一時的に廃止されたほかは，新羅の全時期を通じて行われていた。一時廃止されるまでの禄邑は，食邑と同様に，特定の地域に対する一定の支配権を，貴族官僚に与え俸禄としたものであり，旧首長層の領域支配に由来するものと思われる。これに対して復活後の禄邑は，官庁ごとに特定の村落を禄邑に指定し，俸禄等の経費にあてたものであり，官僚個人による固定的な村落支配は許されなかった。
