The reform in North City was unstoppable; although spring had not yet arrived, the reform announcements had already plastered every city under North City's jurisdiction, and North City's military was paving the way.
When the common people heard that North City had proclaimed itself a sovereign nation, they were overjoyed, as it meant the North Prince had formally taken over North City.
However, their happiness soon faded when rumors spread that the North Prince intended to reclaim all land in North City for the North Prince Mansion, leaving the common people with only the right of use, and no ownership rights.
For most commoners, land was their lifeline. Seizing the land all of a sudden, how could the people feel secure?
The commoners flocked to where the announcements were posted, listening intently to the Jinyiwei Guards explaining the reform measures.
