With the time it took to finish a meal, Lu Ren finally cleared his mind: this place was no longer the Taiwu Dynasty that Kong Qiu spoke of, but rather a New Dynasty, though the Taiwu Dynasty had existed for nearly fifteen hundred years.
However, due to issues with the feudal societal structure, the upper echelon of the Taiwu Dynasty was severely corrupt, ultimately leading to the complete decay of the court's roots. The lowest classes were subjected to extreme oppression, unable to survive, and thus overthrown by revolting peasants.

At that time, paths for upward movement were almost monopolized by people from the upper classes, while the lower classes suffered extreme exploitation.
Most of society's resources were concentrated among the upper class: masters, armies.
In such an era of overwhelming martial force, the absolutely disadvantaged lower class could not possibly stage an overthrow.
