matter how much money you have at the end of the day, you can't fight for power.""people with power do not like money, nor do they need it. But when they do things and make life easier for the people...Chapter 576 sees the whole

the royal family
are not landlords, but landlords who own a lot of land.
the individual strength of these landlords is not very good, and most of them are local gentry, and they only manage the scope of one village and two townships, but it is precisely because they are approachable enough that they directly control the life, death and well-being of the people at the grass-roots level. Once
offends the landlord class and triggers a large-scale revolt, it will inevitably lead to unrest in the whole country.
and the court of the Qin Dynasty could not afford such turbulence in any case.
that's why Su Jinpa, afraid of Li Chen's anger, directly ordered the killing of those landlords.
"am I such an impulsive person"
Li Chen Wensheng said, "Don't worry. I will consider it carefully. I will be very careful."
Li Chen is not stupid. Su Jinpa can see things that he, as a traveler, cannot but know.
in the feudal dynasty, the landlord class was the most unappealing.
because of the feudal system of monarchy, the landlord class is inevitable.
when a dynasty was first established, the world divided the land, and the people of each household were given their own land to reclaim and grow.
this is why the heyday of most dynasties is within one or two hundred years after the founding of the people's Republic of China.
because at that time, the landlord class had not yet been formed, the gap between the rich and the poor was small, everyone had fields to grow and clothes to wear, the society was naturally prosperous and the national strength was naturally strong.
but as the life span of the empire increases, the bureaucracy begins to emerge, and the annexation of rural land will gradually increase.
the land will be concentrated in the hands of a group of people who hold social power, and the people will be reduced from farmers to tenants, and then become more and more intense, in a vicious circle.
as far as Li Chen is concerned, he knows very well that at present his main struggle is against the cabinet and the political enemies of the government.

but when they take the throne in the future, these landlords will inevitably become the biggest obstacle and resistance to their own administration.
it's going to happen sooner or later.
it's just that now is not the time.
even Zhao Xuanji is still unable to solve it, and Li Chen is now powerless in the face of the landlord class all over the country.
"Tongzhou City is just ahead. Let's go in and have a look."
Don't worry for a while, Li Chen said to Su Jinpa.
"mm-hmm."
Su Jinpa smiled at Li Chen, and then the two accompanied into the city.
although Tongzhou has a state character in its name, it is actually only a county seat. After all, it is next to the capital. It is unrealistic for Tongzhou to decline as much as it wants, but it is impossible for Tongzhou to prosper.
the prosperity of the capital is like a huge root system of trees, which absorbs all talent, wealth and power, leaving little room for other cities to live.
so walking on the streets of Tongzhou is obviously not as prosperous as the capital.
it's just that most of the shops are open, and although the people on the street are not very rich, at least they can maintain a normal life, and the situation is much better than at the end of last year.
Li Chen and Su Jinpa walk in a dazzling array of streets, feeling very novel.
when Li Chen took Su Jinpa to a shop specializing in rouge gouache, he suddenly heard a noise in the street.
when they looked at it, they found that someone was married.
everyone in the welcoming team was dressed in red, the drums were loud, and some people specially handed out candy to passers-by. On the white horse in the middle, the bridegroom was very proud to wear the wedding costume.
"Wow, someone got married, go and see the bride!"
Su Jinpa's eyes glowed and said excitedly.ao's face cooled down."Factory, factory owner."the former guards braved their heads to come up."it's nice to dare to stop Zhao Xuanji."the faint words of Sanbao made the guard overjoyed.but before he...
