Bab 242: Chapter 180 North City Reform_3

Li Rui felt that Lu Chen's measure was simply too bold, and it might lead to dissatisfaction among the common people.

Lu Chen said, "Reclaiming the ownership of the land is first to avoid the issue of land annexation and second to prepare for the future development and construction of North City."

"The reason I dare to do this is that I naturally have reasons to be so bold. Firstly, there are currently not many large landlords in North City, and from today onward, all agricultural taxes in North City are abolished. As long as the common people are willing to farm, they can keep what they sow, and they can also apply for land from the North Prince Mansion. By paying a small land fee, they could contract a large plot of land. This is the benefit I'm offering to the common people after reclaiming the land."

Li Rui was taken aback upon hearing Lu Chen's words.

Abolishing all agricultural taxes?

Isn't that a bit too bold?
