<span>In the medieval social hierarchy, the two groups that could receive land were IMPORTANT NOBLES and VASSALS.
Since the King owns, he is the only one that can grant people land ownership. The King grants lands to important nobles in return of their pledge of loyalty and to be of service to him and to protect him at all cost.
The King also grants lands on his vassals. They are the less powerful military men or knights. They also pledge their allegiance to the king and serve in his army. </span>
This depends slightly on the European nation in question. For the Spanish it was almost entirely gold, while for the French it was mostly glory. Same with the English. At the root of all exploration, however, was the desire for more resources.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The mutual responsibilities that Confucianism define for the emperor and his subjects were the following.
Emperors had the role to be educators. Their responsibilities were to offer proper education to its people and transform them into better individuals who could help other people. Emperors should never force laws and regulations to force people to get an education or to do something against their will. Confucianism appealed to the high moral values that emperors had to show. They were the ones that have to set the example. On the other hand, subjects have to accept these changes and transformations that were set to develop them into better subjects that could improve the life and conditions of the empire. Subjects should show reciprocity and follow through once the Emperor was the first to live by example.
