What kind of existence was the landlord in the past, and why did he need to be eliminated at that time?

At that time, the landlord was a symbol of bullying and fear of hard work, representing oppression and injustice, which was also the reason for destroying the landlord at that time.

China was a slave society in ancient times. From the beginning, agriculture has been the main means of the country's economic development. Until today, agriculture is also a major industry in China. However, land is not owned by farmers and has always been an important lifeline for the state to control. Ancient landlords managed the land. Farmers have to rent land from landlords if they want to farm, and the landlords often set the rent themselves. Most landlords arbitrarily raise rents for their own benefit, which is outrageous. Once farmers can't pay their debts, paying their debts by various means will often lead to the ruin of their families. Therefore, landlords became synonymous with bullies in the old society and also bullied the people.

Moreover, landlords in feudal society are often generals who have made contributions, or princes, or relatives of the country. These people oppress the people by their own rights, but the people can only accept them, and there is no place to avenge them. These reasons lead the landlord to become synonymous with bad people.

As for why the landlords should be eliminated, it is for the benefit of the people all over the world, in order to return the land to the farmers and give them a fair price, and at the same time eliminate these landlords who use their parents to harm the people. In fact, as a landlord, he is a local official. His own rent is enough for his own expenses, so don't raise the rent maliciously. Therefore, it is also the general trend to eliminate the landlord. Where there is oppression, there is resistance, isn't it? After the founding of New China, China also abolished the landlord system and completely returned the land to farmers. Thousands of years of feudalism no longer exists.
