I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 107 Zheng Shang is Amazing

In this extremely dark political vortex, what Li Ran can do is to plan as thoroughly as possible.

Naturally, he also wanted to use other methods to lure the spy of the Ji family out, but after much deliberation, he finally handed over this "glorious and great" task to Ji Xian who was still unaware of it.

Because of the last aid to the country, Li Ran already knew very well that if he wanted to move this spy in Ji's family, it would be extremely dangerous if he didn't let Ji experience it for himself before there is any conclusive evidence. difficult.

Only by involving Ji Xian and putting him in it, can he make up his mind completely.

At dawn the next day, in front of the Guoshi Mansion. (Zichan Mansion)

"How? What happened last night?"

After getting into the carriage, Zichan immediately asked.

Regarding Li Ran's whole plan, Zichan was actually quite at ease.But at the same time, because what Li Ran had to deal with were those who sacrificed his clan, Zichan had to take care of it.

"Please rest assured, doctor, everything is under control."

"The next step is to find out who that person is conspiring with."

Li Ran's words had deep meaning, and Zichan knew it in his heart.

No matter who is behind the scenes, all this should come to the surface.

And today, Li Ran will also go to the temple to lobby a group of high officials, in fact, it is tantamount to ending all this.

……

In front of the gate of Deming Palace.

When Li Ran followed Zichan into the Deming Palace, all the senior officials standing in the palace at this moment cast incredible glances at Li Ran.

Of course they knew about Li Ran. The last time Li Ran and Ji Le got married, all of them were invited by Ji Xian to attend Li Ran's wedding at the Ji Mansion.

But according to common sense, don't say that Li Ran is just the son-in-law of the Ji family. Even the suzerain Ji Xian himself, if he doesn't have a royal position, he can't just enter the Deming Palace casually.

"Hey? Zichan, why did you bring this man to the palace?"

Some people wondered, it stands to reason that Zichan can be regarded as a person with great etiquette, where is this place?Who is Li Ran?How can he come here?How could Zichan, who is the minister of state, not know?

"Bringing him here in vain, what's the trick?"

Basically, all the senior officials have this doubt in their hearts.

However, Zichan didn't waste any time talking with them, he just skipped them and went straight to Hanhu who is the chief.

"When the country is in power, the reason why the overseas Chinese brought Li Ran here today is because there are a few important matters that they want to discuss with the doctors."

Zichan bowed and bowed in a respectful manner.

Although Hanhu didn't understand, he nodded slightly when he heard Zichan's words, and then looked at Li Ran who was at the gate.

"I just met Li Ran, you adults."

Li Ran stepped forward slowly and greeted the doctors.

"Hey, I heard that Li Ziming, the son-in-law of Ji's son-in-law, is a rich man with a lot of education, and he used one person's plan to severely injure Ji's family, causing Qufu to be full of storms. Hmph, what a great skill."

"Yes, yes, but he is loyal to Jishi. Qianli Benwei rescued Jishi's second son. If the two of them hadn't been helped by him, I'm afraid they are still locked in the prison of Weiguo. .”

"That's not necessarily the case. It is said that a lot of things have happened to this Jishi recently. He is inseparable from all of this! It is probably not an exaggeration to say that Jishi is burdened by him."

Li Ran only said one sentence face to face, and it caused everyone present to whisper for a long time.However, there are generally more derogatory remarks than positive ones.

As the chief minister of the country, Hanhu saw Li Ran for the first time, even though he had heard of Li Ran's name a long time ago.

"Zichan, why did you bring him here today?"

After some whispering and gradually silence, Hanhu asked Yu Zichan this question.

And Si Hei at the side heard what Han Hu said, and immediately focused his eyes on Li Ran.

Zichan heard the sound, looked around for a week, and said generously:
"Right now, the disease is rampant in our Zhengyi city. Although I have ordered strict control, such a long-term ban will eventually cause heavy losses to Zhengyi."

"Yesterday, the old suzerain and Li Ran came to my house and offered three strategies. I felt that there was some truth, so I brought Li Ran here so that all the doctors can discuss it together."

"Li Ran, let's share your three suggestions with all the doctors."

The curtain has already opened, and the next thing is naturally to watch Li Ran's performance.

So, after Li Ran bowed to Hanhu and saluted, he repeated his three suggestions again and again.

"Hey... I knew I should have compiled a volume of bamboo slips, this is a failure!"

While speaking, Li Ran couldn't help feeling a little regretful about the "shortcomings" of his plan.

I said it once at Ji's house, said it again at Zichan's house, and said it a third time when I came here.If I had known this earlier, wouldn't it be enough to compile it into a volume for everyone to look at?Mistake, what a mistake.

Li Ran finally finished speaking, and as expected, Si Hei immediately got up and stood up.

"Inappropriate! This move is greatly inappropriate!"

"Since ancient times, merchants are the most self-interested. If they are allowed to participate in this matter, they will definitely fill their pockets!"

Yes, Si Hei was the first to raise objections.

Li Ran's eyes immediately fell on him.

And Zichan looked at Si Hei who spoke excitedly, frowned slightly, and said puzzledly:
"Zixi! Haven't you forgotten? Since the founding of our country, the state of Zheng has relied on the foundation established by merchants to continue to this day. And thanks to the merchants of our state of Zheng who rescued us many times, the number of people in the state of Zheng We have survived every crisis."

"Therefore, if there were no merchants from Zheng, how could there be a 'State of Zheng'? And why did Zheng Yi become the hub of the world?"

"Besides, at the beginning of the founding of our country, Zheng Guo made an oath with merchants: You will not betray me, I will not be strong, and I will not take it away. Since we are the orthodoxy of Zheng Guo, how can we forget our roots? And so contemptuous of them ?”

"This time, the epidemic situation is serious. If it weren't for the great help of the Ji clan, how could my Zhengyi be so safe?"

"That's not OK!"

"Businessmen have their own plans, but the government must follow the law after all. Since ancient times, it has never been heard that any country can achieve success by relying on businessmen. This must not set a precedent, so as not to leave a bad habit for future generations!"

"Furthermore, it is already very difficult for our government to strictly control and treat the people with this disease. If there is no increase in damage and the treasury is empty, who can be held responsible in case of any accident? Could it be that the ruling secretary will Can you afford it?!"

As he talked, Si Hei's opposition became more and more intense.

And the senior officials in the hall heard that Si Hei said so, and most of them nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, businessmen are profit-seeking, and their nature is "fraud".

Therefore, no matter whether they have the ability to do things for the government, the government cannot pin their hopes on them, because this in itself is an extremely dangerous behavior.

In Li Ran's opinion, they not only asked them to worship the clan, but also, as representatives of merchants, mobilize the power of other merchants to actively participate together.

Even the government has to allocate money to the merchants so that the merchants can purchase medicinal materials on their behalf.

Isn't this the same as giving them enough opportunities so that these businessmen can profit from it?
After all, the government's coins are not blown by the wind, let alone planted in the ground.That's the real fat of the people.

The daily expenses of the office still need to think twice, so how can the government let these businessmen throw away these hard-won taxes?

"Doctor Zixi's words are wrong."

Li Ran looked at the funny Si Hei, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Oh? Really? Then what's your opinion?"

Si Hei naturally didn't pay attention to Li Ran, who had no status, and looked at him directly through his nostrils.

It's no wonder that Si Hei has always been such a disposition.

"Thinking about the aid to the Wei country, didn't the imperial court also use the grain carts of Jishi to transport the grain to the Wei country? It's only been a month or so, could it be that Dr. Zixi forgot so quickly?"

You said that the imperial court can't rely on businessmen to get things done, but the imperial court did this just now, aren't you slapping yourself in the face?

Want to reap the benefits, but don't want to pay, let you take all the good things in the world by yourself?
"Zhengyi has always been proud of its business affairs. Now facing such a situation, both inside and outside Zhengyi are at a loss. This time should be a time of collective wisdom. Who else can you place your hope on? Gentlemen, is there anyone who is willing to organize family members to go out of the city to supply supplies for the people in the city? Is there anyone who is willing to send people to other cities to buy medicinal materials?"

As Li Ran spoke, he glanced at all the senior officials present with extremely sharp eyes, and this move was quite rude.

However, after everyone present heard the discussion, no one dared to speak up, and they all fell into silence for a while.
