Chapter 253

Several days later.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

Li Er was writing furiously, reviewing memorials, his brow full of solemnity and displeasure.

The court has been pushing for reforms for some time now.

But until today, there has been no substantial change.

Li Er originally wanted to imitate Great Qin, taking most of the land into state ownership and distributing it to the people again.

In this way.

He could liberate the vast majority of the labor force.

Li Er was struck by lightning! (Please subscribe!)

The money and grain in the national treasury would become abundant.

But he didn't expect that as soon as this policy was promulgated, it immediately drew fierce opposition from the civil and military officials.

They spoke with certainty, saying it violated ancestral laws, was unfair to the ancestors, and some even said they would rather die than hand over ancestral property!

Li Er hated them to the core, but had no way to deal with them.

The power of the noble families is too strong.

They are like an iron plate, impenetrable by needles or water.

Furthermore.

Li Er originally wanted to reform the military, taking the rights to forge weapons and purchase warhorses into state ownership.

This also met with fierce opposition from the officials.

Regardless of the dynasty.

The interests in the military are extremely huge.

How could the noble families who control these interests easily let go?

What made Li Er feel even more desperate was that the officials colluded and openly resisted the decree!

They feigned compliance with the orders Li Er issued!
