Chapter 357: Reform (4)_1
Forget it, she was just too kind-hearted and overlooked the fact that this place was not a lawful society under the red flag. Here, not to mention the Northern Land, but the whole of Daqin, or even the whole world, the servants were the lowest class of people. They had no private property.
