The Princess of Northern Land

"Okay, if we have these good things, farming won't be too hard." Satomasa said with a slap on his thigh. Think about it, how powerful it would be to be able to spray medicine on dozens of acres of land in less than a day. Moreover, it is very convenient to sow beans. One person can go down to seven or eight acres a day, or dozens of acres in just a few days. Along the way, the land is plowed and weeded...

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he decided in an instant that he must open up more wasteland this time.

Opening up wasteland is a good thing for the common people, but it is not a good thing for aristocratic families.

"Dad, I don't know what the prince is thinking, but he actually thought of letting the people open up wasteland? If everyone has soil to plant, who will we rent our land to? Is it possible for us to plant it ourselves?" As soon as Li Jiesong saw the notice, he started to criticize Chu Suifeng non-stop after he came back, "I think he is deliberately trying to cause embarrassment. I don't believe it. How can those aristocratic families agree?"

"Shut up." Seeing his son's careless appearance, Mr. Li glared at him angrily. After this period of observation, he found that the eldest son was really useless, but the second son showed extraordinary ability in managing affairs and solving problems.

"The order is passed down. I have been ill recently and it is not suitable to see guests. No one in the house is allowed to go out." Mr. Li gave the order coldly.

"Dad." Li Jiesong looked at Mr. Li with dissatisfaction, "You don't let us participate in the prince's affairs. We don't participate. Why are you grounding us?" He had just recently had a heated fight with the top card in Zuiyue Tower. Let him be locked up in the house without suffocating him to death.

"If you dare to go out, you will move out of the mansion. You are not allowed to take any plants or trees in the mansion." Mr. Li took out his trump card.

"Dad, I didn't say anything. I won't let you out. I just stay in the house." Li Jiesong was frightened. If you don't give him money to live on and let him move out alone, then what will he do to spend time and drink?

"Hmph, the prince wants the untouchables to open up wasteland and farm. He clearly wants to cut off our livelihood." In the backyard of Zuiyue Tower, the heads of many aristocratic families in Fengcheng gathered here to discuss matters. The topic was naturally aimed at King Ling’s new land reform.

"Without the untouchables and good people renting crops, the villagers everywhere would still have to be abolished."

…

Everyone hated Chu Suifeng's new changes. In the candlelight in the backyard, everyone looked filled with indignation.

"Mr. Zhang, please tell us what we should do?" A fat man with big ears shook his head and looked at the old man sitting in the middle.

After hearing this, the people who were talking about him immediately turned their attention to the old man.

"The entire Northland is the prince's fiefdom, and we are all his subjects. Whatever the prince is willing to do or change, we must naturally cooperate with him fully." The man known as Mr. Zhang is the number one in Fengcheng. The head of the aristocratic family was originally named Zhang Da. Because the Zhang family's business involves many aspects, and the Zhang family is also a large family born and raised in Fengcheng, the Zhang family is still very prestigious among the nobles.

The people present did not expect that he would say this, and they all looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"The imperial court exempted us from taxes in the North and replaced the original military pay and food with taxes. But starting from the previous dynasty, everyone in the world also knew that due to the weather, the crops grown in the fields in our North were not as good as every year. , Now the untouchables and good people are clearing up wasteland, and we don’t have any extra people in Zhuangzi to take care of it, so it’s understandable that we can’t pay taxes.” Mr. Zhang sighed.

Everyone was immediately happy after hearing this, yes, so what if King Ling is powerful? The court doesn't care, there are Tatars outside, and without the support of noble families like them, Chu Suifeng is so powerful that he probably doesn't even have military pay or food. As long as they unanimously stop or delay paying taxes, Chu Suifeng will definitely be unable to hold on and bow to them.
