Chapter 243: Chapter 181 What does that little man want to do?_1

Upon hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen immediately understood his meaning. The court was now controlled by the Aristocratic Families, who had the most land and were the most sensitive group toward land issues.

At this moment, if Lu Chen were to implement land reforms, it would inevitably touch the nerves of the Aristocratic Families, and they would definitely impeach him like crazy, trying every means to trouble him.

Not only the Aristocratic Families, but the Scholar Officials would surely criticize him as well.

In a word, whoever had more land would possibly jump out to trouble him.

Lu Chen then said, "The reason why I am reforming now is that the court's attention is all on the war with Great Wu."

"Even if they become aware of the reforms in North City, as uncomfortable as it may be for them, they don't have the energy to attend to North City at this time."
