However, the proposal did not bring the slightest joy to the toiling people, and Dandu said with some embarrassment: "The land is large enough, but there are no extra hands to cultivate it." In addition to the agricultural work, people also had to do labor...... "In Lisi, not only the harvest of crops, but also the construction of boundary walls and palaces by hewing stones, also fell under the category of taxation.

Since all the land in the territory belongs to the state, the common people can only live by renting farmland and paying taxes, and if the weather is bad, they have no livelihood and no sense of belonging.

But people have to stay here because they are trapped within the walls and are not allowed to know everything about the outside world.

From the conversations of the quarrymen, he also learned that one should never openly criticize any of the country's policies, or mention the benefits that preceded the closure of the wall, otherwise it would be regarded as treason and would be punished severely.

People can only worship what is within the walls, even the dross of the obvious ignorance.

Every once in a while, he would stop to rest and eat appropriately to replenish his strength. This time, he chose to rest on the edge of the quarry.

Because when I passed by, I happened to meet the time when the quarry servants had a break to eat. He planned to go over and eat with them, and by the way, ask about the route he would take later.

The exquisite architecture of the Lisi people, as well as the convenient design of the waterway network, amazed the newcomers.

But gradually, he learned that the small palaces in the center of the major cities were not used for people.

Like the rest of the Eastern Continent, almost all of the nobles of Lixi lived in the capital, and the small palaces in the rest of the cities were actually used for only two purposes: to show off the king's merits, wealth, and power, and to serve as a local tax collector, and nothing more.

Still, he believed that these little beings were very respectable, because they fed many rootless beings in the world.

On the other hand, Lepelian himself, when he was alive, did not do much to benefit nature, except for selfishly consuming the lives of animals and plants.

Never considered himself superior to plants and animals, because he knew that he had to depend on them to survive, so he always explored and learned about these selfless beings with gratitude.

Full of anticipation, he took the rough stone bowl in the quarryman's hand, and first carefully observed it, and the staple food in it was not unfamiliar to him, which was a mixture of beans and cereals.

But something else intrigued him, a dark brown gooey mass. Picking up a little with his spoon, he asked the quarryman, "Is this pickled, and what is it made of?" explained the quarryman, Dandu, "which is made from vegetable roots." "In a sense, the country of Lisi is a huge slave circle.

Its people were like slaves, not only had to feed the country in the form of taxes, but most of the property obtained by their labor was used to rent land from the state, and then toiled to grow food to feed the nobles who exploited and enslaved them, and provided the state with conscription and military forces to show off the wealth and power of the king.

What a sad fact that the country has not given its people anything in return!

23.225.191.158,23.225.191.158; 0; pc; 1; Of course, it is impossible for these Lixi civilians who are closed in the territory of the country to know that the half-bloods are no longer coming to the Eastern Continent to do business.

So, Sultius decided to stay in the small place of Wu Ge for one more day. After the quarryman's short rest, Tartius packed up his belongings and set out for the nearby hills.

Because that green hillock is covered with many shrubs and weeds. Combined with Lixi's climatic characteristics, Quetis thought that there might be some edible plants in it, so he wanted to find them.

At least do what he can for these hard-working people, so that he can leave with peace of mind.
