Peasant Upheaval in Korea

What happens
The rural poor have been struggling in recent times. Not only are they taxed far beyond their capacity to pay and still support themselves, but if they flee the land to escape tax obligations, these are transferred to their kin who remain behind, leading to even greater tax burdens. What is more, the yangban elite have increasingly been acquiring land for themselves, pushing out the rural poor. This has led to a general climate of lawlessness and unrest among the peasantry that, if left unchecked, could pose a significant threat to the state.
