Demon Lord 3

Especially with the popular currency, the people here couldn't exchange things privately, but this also caused a lot of disagreements. After all, the circulating currency was limited to the hands of the wealthy, which led to repeated setbacks for the families fleeing famine, while the wealthy families could maintain their wealth, ensuring that their descendants would be safe and sound, and could use the rules to oppress them. The villagers were unwilling to give in, believing that they had indeed fled famine many years ago, but everyone had experienced this, and no matter how good their original place was, it was useless. If it was so good, why wouldn't they stay? They certainly couldn't stay there. They rebelled to avoid paying taxes and serving the wealthy, but it didn't last long. After all, there was no order without rules. Although they could grow food, they were constantly at odds over arrangements, such as uneven distribution of food. A series of problems arose, forcing them to bow to the wealthy.

They bowed their heads, but the rich did want to punish them by making them build underground palaces. They said that they could live there after the rich died, so that their souls would not have to leave and could continue to live there. Those people were also quite sincere, thinking that they would admit their mistakes and comply with the request in a timely manner. However, they did not expect that building those underground palaces would be so difficult. The loss of manpower and material resources could catch up with those of the previous people. Although there are many new lives now, they cannot withstand such a toss. However, they could not bear the pressure and took ten years to complete it. Also, the road we took before was fake. It was really in this village. It was just an ancient tomb. How could it be possible to go into the mountains? It should be underground. After listening to Chen Lei's narration, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

The ancient tomb was built after a long time, and the first batch of wealthy people who died also moved in. However, their cruelty was far more than that. They even let living people be buried with them, which inevitably led to several things. One was the burial of couples. According to the rules of the ancient royal family, they let the newly married concubines or wives without children be buried with them, causing many young girls to lose their lives in vain. The second was to let servants be buried with them, saying that they were born to serve others and could not be free even after death. They were forced to stay in those tombs and never came out in the end because each tomb was almost unconnected. There were many small rooms in a large room. After pushing people in, the doors of the small rooms were closed. Once closed, they could never be opened again unless they were blown up with the gunpowder we use today. But for the people at that time, once the doors were closed, they could never be opened again.

Although many people have died, the rules must always be followed. This is a certain truth. When the number of people harmed is small and the majority are alive, people tend to think of their own interests. This is how the saying "mind your own business" comes about. This system has been popular. Chen Lei turned the conversation to the village chief, the old man in front of us. Although the village chief is also considered a rich man, he really can't stand the way they do things. He believes that the wealth gained in this way is useless, and that bullying others is not a good thing. Because he thinks this way out of opposition, he is squeezed out by those rich people. Over the years, his power is gradually lost, and he finally becomes a village chief with only a title but no real power.

The village chief smiled and said, "Young man, guess what my last name is?" Chen Lei was slightly stunned and said, "I know your last name is not Li. I listened carefully when I was attending the opera. You should be surnamed Wu. You have changed your name several times in the meantime! So I won't list them one by one. You used to be one of the lowest class, and then you climbed into the circle of the rich with your own ability. The key is that as a poor person, you can master the systems of the rich and also master some planting techniques. This also makes many people admire you, right?"
