Chapter 81: Strange People and Strange Things(2/2)
"Do you think the power of the people is not worth mentioning?"
Xie Ji continued to ask, going back to the topic, having lost so many words.
"Prime Minister, what does this have to do with you nationalizing all the land?"
Liu Ji hit the nail on the head, debating what does the power of the people have to do with reclaiming land?
Is it to change the topic?
But what's the point of diluting the topic?
"How do you think the people are living now? Why do they want to rebel?"
Xie Ji's words made many people gasp. How is life?
It's definitely not good. What kind of policies have you promulgated? Policies that weaken the people are the kind of policies that trample the people under your feet.
Can people live well?
Needless to say?
But why should we rebel? This is definitely someone behind the scenes who is provoking troubles. Judging from the common people, they don't have the courage.
In their opinion, those who rebelled should be killed without leaving a single one alive, so that they could know how powerful being an official was.
In their view, it was the failure to suppress the people to the end that gave them the power to rebel.
"Prime Minister, there are people who are causing trouble behind the scenes. They are rebelling because of the benefits they can gain. As long as they wipe out the benefits gained from the rebellion, no one will dare to rebel."
"Therefore, the fundamental way to solve the people's rebellion is to control them, register all the people, let them supervise each other, and adopt the Shiwu Lianzu system. If someone rebels and they keep it secret, they will all be arrested.
Kill them to solve the root cause."
