Chapter 132: Difficult Reforms

Only in this way can Chen Yan win the support of the peasants and the hearts of the people.

That is to say, those who have constant production have perseverance!

As long as he can harvest the hearts of the peasant class, Chen Yan can be invincible!

There are many ways to do this.

For example, laws were promulgated to forcibly reduce the proportion of land rent for individual landlords, or to allow peasants to reclaim wasteland......

The problem of the merchant class is easy to solve, as long as Chen Yan announces the opening of the imperial examination, and the merchant disciples are also allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and then promulgates a few regulations to encourage commercial development, I believe that those businessmen will fully fall to Chen Yan's side.

The landlord class, represented by literati and doctors, is the most difficult in Chen Yan's eyes!

These people are different from businessmen, who want commercial interests, and to put it bluntly, money.

And these people are even more greedy, and what they want is land!

They annexed land from the peasants, turned the peasants into their tenants, and then squeezed the peasants to death so that the peasants could not survive, and then rebelled.

The peasants will only take their anger out on the monarch, kill the monarch, overthrow the dynasty.

Instead of killing the landlord class represented by literati and doctors!

The landlord class is unscrupulous, because they are not afraid, even if there is a change of dynasty, the new dynasty, the new monarch will still have to use them to govern the country.

In other words, these people are not things!

For example, joining the state is a company, the doctor is the management of the company, the monarch is the owner of the company, and the ordinary people are the ordinary employees of the company.

These management are messing around, and when the company collapses, it is the ordinary staff and the boss who are trapped.

But they directly jumped to other companies, and then continued to mess around!

Chen Yan will never allow them to do this!

In other words, Chen Yan may have a basis for cooperation with the merchant class, but he is inherently opposed to the landlord class.

Because Chen Yan will never tolerate them to arbitrarily annex land.

In ancient China, all dynasties died in land annexation, and at the end of the dynasty, land annexation was serious, and the peasants could not survive, so they would raise their banners and rebel.

Then the dynasty will come to an end in a mighty peasant uprising, and no one can recover it.

Until enough people have died, the population has dropped dramatically, and the land under heaven has become more than the population again.

At this time, there will be a male lord who will dominate the world, and then it will be prosperous!

After another two or three hundred years, there will be more people, the land will not be divided enough, and the landlords will annex the land to a certain point, which is good, and the end of the dynasty has arrived.

Chen Yan would rather stand in opposition to the entire landlord class than allow them to annex land!
