Chapter 227 Grain Reform

However, now, the sweet potato and potato seeds that Zhu Yunwen has produced are about to threaten their interests.

Once grain reform is implemented, and sweet potatoes and potatoes become staple foods for the people, wouldn't the rice and wheat they have become worthless?

If the common people no longer have to worry about food, then wouldn't the grain accumulated by these gentry and landlords over the years be unsellable?

Therefore, they naturally paid close attention to this matter.

Many gentry, landlords, scholars, and nobles even believed that this was very likely the beginning of a second reform war with Zhu Yuntong.

The first one was the land reform, which caused a huge uproar and resulted in many deaths.

Ultimately, thanks to Zhu Yuntong's strong promotion, Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering support, and Zhu Yuntong's many wise responses, the plan was successfully implemented.

This time, however, these gentry and landlords had no intention of backing down.

The reason is simple: if the grain reform succeeds, then these gentry and landlords will really not be able to gain any advantage in the future.

The reason they used to control so much land was that they could use it to grow a lot of food.

Thus, this grain could become their property.

Always give them confidence.

However, Zhu Yuntong's forceful promotion of land reform caused these gentry and landlords to lose a large amount of land, leaving them with only a large amount of grain.

However, Zhu Yuntong is now going to implement grain reforms, and if successful, the grain they have will become worthless.

Doesn't this mean they can't even exchange their food for wealth?

Therefore, this time, it is destined to be another battle between Zhu Yuntong and the local gentry and landlords.

So after the news spread, these gentry and landlords began to plan how to deal with Zhu Yuntong's grain reform.

As the saying goes, for every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below.

Zhu Yuntong's long-planned grain reform is finally about to be implemented, but the local gentry and landlords are starting to prepare to oppose it.

Although they had experienced the last land reform, they dared not openly oppose it.

But secretly carrying out actions is definitely not a problem.
