As always, the old village chief lightly patted Li Boyang's arm, continued explaining with a smile.
"Using the phrase often on your lips: this is called taking from the people, using for the people, it can help Li Family Village, and even the whole Hundred Lands Mountain Range to develop better and faster."
"But you cannot only consider the collective; the Li Family Village in your eyes is nearly ten thousand individuals with different thoughts."
"They have their own ideas, their own choices."
"Unless you plan to force them to obey your orders, this matter cannot be rushed."
"Just like bronze coins, only when everyone willingly accepts it can the tax system be sustained long-term."
The reasoning given by the old village chief was something Li Boyang understood naturally.
