Talk to people who live in broken houses.

It's about property rights. The allusion of this sentence comes from the story of an emperor and a miller in Germany.

/kloc-in the 8th century, the German emperor William I built a carefree palace in Potsdam. Once, he lived in a palace and climbed to a high place overlooking Potsdam, but his view was blocked by a mill. The emperor was disappointed and thought that the mill blocked his view.

He sent someone to negotiate with the miller to buy the mill and demolish it. No, the miller decided not to sell it. The reason is simple: this is what my ancestors left behind, and I can't leave it in my hands, no matter how much money! The emperor was furious and sent guards to forcibly tear down the mill.

The miller brought a lawsuit to the court. Surprisingly, the court ruled against the emperor. And sentenced the emperor to rebuild the mill at the original site and compensate the miller for his economic losses. The emperor obeyed the court's decision and rebuilt the mill.
