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

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."
