The Country Became the Landlord

After hearing Jiang Xia's explanation, Shen Mo couldn't help but frown. The communal dining system aimed to distribute grain equally, fostering fairness and justice, but according to Jiang Xia, this approach seemed to create not only unfairness but also waste of food.

Regardless of Shen Mo's reaction, Jiang Xia continued, "Moreover, in the village, everyone collectively farms the land. The grains they harvest don't belong to them, and it's unclear whether everyone is genuinely working hard or just doing the bare minimum for their work points."

"You mean the land should be evenly distributed to the farmers?" Shen Mo asked, knitting his eyebrows.

Although he phrased it as a question, Shen Mo knew this was improbable. If all the land were given to the farmers, what would happen to the country?

Jiang Xia chuckled lightly, "Not at all. I was suggesting that the land could be leased to the farmers."
