Chapter 189 Chapter 194 Chapter 195 Lobbying Feng Duan
While the "Shang Yang Reform" held at the gate of Zhengyi City was still in full swing, Li Ran did not stay there for too long, because he had more important things to do.
After Li Ran directly handed over the reform at the gate of the city to Owl Yi's full responsibility, Li Ran immediately returned to Jishi's home, drove a carriage, and came to the gate of Fengduan's mansion alone.
At this time, Feng Duan had already heard the movement at the gate of the city today, and was thinking about "countermeasures" by himself, but unexpectedly Li Ran would come to visit unexpectedly at this time.
In addition to being surprised, Feng Duan also faintly showed a cold color that was not easy to detect.
Feng Duan naturally wanted to go out to greet him, but after Li Ran sent a large box of gifts directly into Feng Duan's mansion, Feng Duan also deduced from this that Li Ran came here with "good intentions".That's why he felt relieved, and looked at Li Ran who came to visit with a smile on his face and said:
"Oh, rare guest! What a rare guest!"
"My nephew has been in Zhengyi for more than a year, I'm afraid this is the first time I have visited Fengfu as a guest?"
"However, this is..."
Even though he had already guessed what was in the box, for the sake of face, he still had to pretend to ask.
Li Ran heard the sound and said quickly:
"What Doctor Boshi said is absolutely true!"
"Li Ran has been in Zhengyi for more than a year, but he never visited Mr. Deboshi's mansion. It's really disrespectful!"
"Thus, since I have come today, how can I come empty-handed? This is my little wish for offering sacrifices to my family, and it is really not a respect. Please accept it with a smile, Doctor Boshi!"
With that said, Li Ran ordered someone to open the box.
Rituals are indeed generous gifts.And Li Ran made it very clear.This gift was given by him to sacrifice his family, not a political gift.
Even though Feng Duan saw this gift, he didn't mind it, after all, as Zheng Guo's third leader, what rare treasures had he never seen?
However, these accompanying gifts also showed Li Ran's sincerity in wanting to make friends with him.And he also intends to make friends with Li Ran, so for him, it is natural that anyone who comes is welcome.
"Nephew, what is this called!"
"Come in quickly! Come in quickly!"
Feng Duan didn't refuse the visitor, but it seemed very straightforward. He immediately asked his servant to put away the box, and then led Li Ran straight into the living room to sit down.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, my nephew, the old man has long wanted to go to the sacrificial mansion to visit my nephew, but I am always bound by many trivial matters, it is really hard to escape!"
At any rate, Feng Duan had to find some high-sounding reasons, which were a little close.At least you have to make your previous behavior understandable.
"Besides, thinking about the Smoky Tunnel Alliance that we participated in a few days ago, if it was not because of the mediation of the good nephew, which solved the urgent need for the old man, how could the old man still sit here and chat with the good nephew calmly?" ?”
Since he received Li Ran's generous gift, he had to say some decent words.
These words not only thanked Li Ran for his mediation at the beginning, but also implied that he really has no intention of fighting Zichan again, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After all, he has worked hard in Zheng Guo's officialdom for many years, and Feng Duan's speech skills are also extremely superb.
"Hehe, the doctor laughed, but it's just a matter of pushing the boat along the way. The success of the Xuntun League is ultimately due to the doctor's sincerity. As for Li Ran, how much credit can he have?"
"Today, the court hall of Zheng Guo is peaceful, and it is all thanks to the doctor's ability to understand the general situation. This is really a blessing for the country!"
Of course, Li Ran was not to be outdone, and even praised him.
The two exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then, Feng Duan began to insinuate and ask:
"Benqing heard that my nephew made a lot of noise at the gate of the city today. Did he engage in a move to lower interest rates? I don't know if this is true or not?"
Li Ran immediately cupped his hands and said:
"The doctor is really well informed."
"That's true."
Feng Duan was startled when he heard the sound, and couldn't help wondering:
"I heard that nephew Xian invented Ziqian. Although the interest is the source of Jishi's future profit. But this method is after all, out first and then in. This is not in line with Jishi's usual style. Therefore, nephew Xian Now such an approach, is there no one in the family who opposes it?"
The so-called Ziqian is to earn interest from borrowing, just like the venture capital of later generations. This is indeed the main way for Ziqian family to make profits.
However, Li Ran's actions now obviously damage the interests of the lender.Therefore, now this money has become a transaction in which risks and benefits are not equal in the eyes of others.That being the case, would there be no complaints within the Ji clan?
"Doctor Mingjian."
"The matter of Ziqian was jointly led by Li Ran and his father-in-law, and all the funds were borne by the two of us."
"It's for the country and the people, but how dare you care about the profit? And my father-in-law has always understood the righteousness. My father-in-law has also made it clear that he believes that this matter is duty-bound!"
Yes, the money paid was from Li Ran and Ji Xian, so as long as the two of them don't say anything, what can the other clan elders say?
Anyway, how much they can earn in the end is all for Li Ran and Jixian. The other clan elders haven't participated yet, so why make irresponsible remarks?
Hearing this, Feng Duan couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and then praised:
"Well, it is really a blessing for the common people to have such a good son-in-law as a nephew!"
"The matter of Ziqian benefits the people. If it is carried out, our country of Zheng will be rich and rich, and the world will be rich. Such a country will be prosperous!"
While talking, Feng Duan got up and wanted to bow to Li Ran.
"Feng Duan is here, on behalf of thousands of ordinary people, to thank you for the righteousness of offering sacrifices to the clan!"
"Oh, you can't do it, you can't do it at all!"
Li Ran hurriedly got up and supported him, his face was full of panic.
"However, I have been favored by the State of Zheng. If I am lucky today, how can I not give back to the State of Zheng?"
"Doctor Wan, please don't upset this junior."
Li Ran shook his head, the expression of shame on his face was even worse.
After hearing this, Feng Duan naturally stopped insisting, and immediately sat down again.
"That virtuous nephew came to visit today, but I don't know what it is..."
"Oh, that's it."
Entering the topic, Li Ran's expression changed slightly, only hearing that he deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a low voice:
"However, I heard that there are quite a few people in the fiefdoms of Doctor Boshi, whose common people are still quite resistant to Doctor Zichan's new policies, and there are even many people who maliciously slander them!"
"Because of this, the doctor is deeply disturbed!"
"However, what was agreed at the top of the court is so wantonly slandered by these subordinates. If it is spread by those merchants traveling from south to north, how will other countries treat my country Zheng in the future?"
"Besides, the matter of the son's money, the doctor has also seen it with his own eyes. This is definitely not because his father-in-law wants to fill his own pockets, but he is really dedicated to serving the people!"
"It's a pity that these subordinates don't understand its meaning and don't know the benefits of the new policy, so the government order can't be understood!"
As he said that, Li Ran couldn't help but sighed helplessly, feeling melancholy for a while.
But after he finished speaking, Feng Duan's face paused slightly, and then a slight cunning appeared between his brows and eyes.
"What Ziming said is true, but... Although Duan has made repeated orders, this matter must not be discussed again. But those common people in the feudal city just refuse to obey! Sigh, the old man is also powerless now. "
What he said was that he had already communicated the meaning of the Zichan New Deal, and now the common people below didn't believe it, so what could he do about it?
This is typical prevarication and perfunctory.
Regarding this, Li Ran was not in a hurry, and suddenly threw out a sentence:
"Therefore, I came here today because I hope that the doctor can teach by precepts and deeds, so as to help my priest! If the doctor can give the order personally, I think these common people will definitely follow."
"What? The old man will go personally? This..."
"Don't worry, doctor, Li Ran hasn't finished speaking yet."
Before Feng Duan could finish speaking, Li Ran immediately interrupted it and said:
"There are tens of thousands of common people in the state of Zheng. If we only rely on my Jishi family in the future, it will definitely not be able to satisfy these many people."
"In addition, in recent years, more and more refugees have come from all over the world. If you want to resettle them and give them some barren land to make a living, you will need even more money."
"So, when the time is right, I invite the doctor and all the ministers to participate in it!"
If you say a thousand things and ten thousand things, the only thing that can really move people's hearts is profit.
Li Ran's meaning is very clear. Today's Ziqian is led by Jishi, but in the future, if he wants to increase the scale, he still has to rely on the family background of Feng Duan and other senior officials.
And this sub-money, if it is managed well, is obviously a business that can make money without losing money.
So, for Feng Duan and others, isn't it like money dropped from the sky?

Chapter 195 New Deal, New Atmosphere
In front of Italy, which was visible to the naked eye, even Feng Duan couldn't help but feel a little moved for a while.
In this era when there are high officials trying to steal the wool of the common people everywhere, although this is not surprising at all.However, how to "squeeze wool" is definitely a technical job.
And today's "ziqian", a smart person can tell at a glance, this is definitely an excellent way to grab the wool without being too embarrassing.
That is to say, it is a policy that is justified and beneficial to the people, and it can be decent and high-sounding, which makes people applaud.
Of course, there is another extremely important reason, that is, Zichan's New Deal has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in many other places.
In many of Fengduan's own fiefs, some of the common people also spilled over and secretly started to cultivate new fields.Under such circumstances, if there is such a way to make up for this loophole, it would be considered an excellent way!
Although Feng Duan was still thinking there, his heart was already overwhelming.
After a while, he looked at Li Ran again and asked:
"Has Nephew Xian discussed this matter with Dr. Zichan?"
Although his heart is moved, his IQ is still there.
How could Li Ran give up such a good thing so easily?
Is there any fraud in this?Could it be another game set up by Zichan and Li Ran?
Li Ran's wit really worried him.
When Li Ran heard the sound from the side, he also knew that this was Feng Duan's fear of him.After fighting against each other several times, he has already seen clearly what he thinks about Feng Duan.
"Doctor Boshi, don't worry, I, Jishi, took the lead in taking the lead in the matter of Ziqian, and now I am preparing to cooperate with several other merchants to join the fundraising."
"Dr. Zichan only has the right to monitor this matter, but not to control it. Therefore, why should we discuss this matter with Dr. Zichan?"
The fact is indeed the case. After all, Ziqian, after all, is only a spontaneous business transaction among the people at present, and as the son of the ruling secretary, he naturally only has the power to supervise this matter, but how can he control it at will?
You must know that at the beginning of the founding of Zheng Guo, he swore an alliance with merchants.Therefore, Zheng Guo's officials really can't interfere clearly.
Moreover, even if this business may gradually be dominated by the ministers in the future, it is still a commercial activity after all.
Taking a step back, as long as there is no forced apportionment monopoly in this kind of business behavior, there is actually no need for officials to intervene too much.
The reason why Li Ran wants to let as many officials and businessmen as possible into the game is to spread the money as much as possible on the one hand, and to prevent the formation of monopoly on the other hand.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Feng Duan immediately felt relieved, and a smile spread across his face.
"It's so good, hehe, it's so good!"
"To tell you the truth, my nephew, I am quite optimistic about this money. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope my nephew will not hesitate to teach me!"
"Quite optimistic" means that we are ready to enter the game.
After all, when it comes to profitable business, Dr. Qing of Zheng Guo is rarely indifferent.
"Okay! With Dr. Boshi's words, I can rest assured."
"The implementation of the new policy is related to the rejuvenation of Zheng Guo, and the matter of Ziqian is related to the vital interests of all the doctors. Therefore, if Dr. Boshi is able to assist us, why should Zheng Guo be unhappy?!"
By the way, Li Ran paid another wave of flattery, his respect was beyond words.
"Since that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore, and I still have to go to Dr. Zibai's house..."
"Oh? Could it be Si Zixi? Why is my nephew going to visit that Si Zixi?"
Without waiting for Li Ran to speak, Feng Duan couldn't help frowning and asked.
In recent days, Si Hei has had many conflicts with him, and they have even turned against each other openly above the court.But at this time Li Ran said in front of his face that he was going to visit Si Hei, he was naturally a little displeased.
Upon hearing this, Li Ran immediately said:
"Of course it's also for money."
"Right now, it's not just the common people in Dr. Boshi's fief who know little about the New Deal. In fact, it's the same with many Shangqings."
"So, if you want this method to be carried out smoothly...then, of course, you don't dare not go to Doctor Zixi's side."
After the words fell, Li Ran's face was full of sighs, as if he was helpless with the reality, but also as if he was full of worries about the future.
Especially the word "dare not" interpreted the uneasiness in his heart to the extreme.
When Rao Feng Duan saw this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said:
"That fellow, Si Ziba, has always been one-sided! Hmph, if my nephew wants to persuade him, I'm afraid it will be hopeless!"
Feng Duan has always kept in mind Si Hei's opportunistic revenge against him recently, so how can he give him a good evaluation now?
The meaning of Feng Duan's words is also quite obvious, that is, to make Li Ran know who is the one who can really help him in this matter.
At the beginning, he asked Si Dai to recruit Li Ran, but now Li Ran came to visit, which was regarded as a response.
But that Si Hei has always been straightforward, and has no understanding of the world. Since he didn't give you any benefits for Li Ran, why should you put your hot face on your cold ass?
"Thank you doctor for your advice, but you should keep your words and deeds, and dare not forget the doctor's friendship."
Hearing Feng Duan's words, Li Ran immediately expressed his attitude.
After Feng Duan heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly, but he couldn't help thinking to himself: No matter what, this Li Ran is not my Feng Duan's person after all, so what am I worrying about for him?
……
So, after coming out of Fengduan's mansion, Li Ran really went to Sihei's mansion immediately.
However, unlike lobbying Fengduan's perfunctory and nonsense, lobbying Sihei is quite simple.
For one thing, at the time of the Xuntun League meeting, it was Li Ran who sent someone to report to Si Hei. Just mentioning this incident was enough to make Si Hei "tearful of gratitude" to Li Ran.
Secondly, Si Hei himself has no city power. Although he has occasional blessings from skilled hands, he has pure ideas and simple routines after all.
Therefore, it is not difficult to persuade him, just the few beautiful maids brought by Li Ran are enough.
Therefore, after a brief discussion on the surface, Si Hei immediately agreed, and promised to follow what Li Ran said, and spread news to the various fiefdoms of his family to encourage him in the fiefdoms. of the common people to try the New Deal.
Of course, this can also be seen as a move by Si Hei to continue to show his favor to Zi Chan.
After all, although he is currently ranked as the top minister, he is always ranked at the bottom. Although his seniority is high, his position is still at the level of a dwarf.
In addition, he has completely fallen out with Feng Duan now, and he urgently needs allies right now.
Since Feng Duan couldn't rely on it, Zichan naturally became the only choice.
Li Ran is well aware of this, but he will not point it out.
……
After going back and forth like this, Li Ran opened up all the joints of Ziqian like a paw Ding Jie Niu, and Zi Chan's New Deal has no obstacles.
Whether it is Fengduan or Sihei, on the day after Li Ran went to visit, he instructed the magistrates of his family to start letting the common people in the fiefs try Ziqian and the New Deal.
After several twists and turns, this land reform, which was enough to change the entire national destiny of Zheng State, was finally implemented.
As Li Ran expected, the elders of the Ji clan immediately figured out the mystery after seeing Li Ran's coquettish operation.As a result, they all changed their opposing attitudes of the day, and actively prepared for starting money.
And the "landlords" who have always been the most stubborn, perhaps because of their herd mentality, actually joined in.What's more, some "landlords" did not hesitate to farm in person in order to "loan" more money.
After all, after losing a large number of tenants, they can only find ways to recruit refugees from various places to enrich their labor force.If you really can't recruit them, then you have no choice but to call on all the clansmen to go into battle in person.
Therefore, Zheng Guo was full of excitement for a while, and the enthusiasm for farming was unprecedentedly high.
Of course, whether it is ordinary people or the new land reclaimed by "landlords", it will eventually be registered by the government and taxed by the mu.Naturally, the office inexplicably became the biggest winner in the end.
And those refugees who fled to Zheng State for various other reasons also played the role of the original "tenant farmers" in large numbers.So, in other words, most of them have found their own shelter as soon as they came to Zheng country.
Such a benevolent government can naturally win a good reputation for Zheng Guo.Therefore, Zichan and Li Ran also became famous for a while because of this vigorous reform.
……
As for Li Ran, since the New Deal was carried out in full swing, he never rested for a moment.
In order to carry out Ziqian's New Deal, he has personally gone to the countryside several times to learn more about the situation and solve problems for the villagers.
He even did not hesitate to go to battle in person, to experience the joy of working with the villagers together with Ji Le.
The sweat of hard work was streaming down his face, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.
He doesn't know whether this rather "modern" road can continue to operate in this era.But at least for now, the situation can be regarded as very optimistic.
He also sometimes thinks, if... he can implement this New Deal to other places...
When resting in the fields, he also had endless reveries.But he is also very clear that if he wants to completely reshape this era from top to bottom, how easy is it to rely on this trivial change?
(End of this chapter)
While the "Shang Yang Reform" held at the gate of Zhengyi City was still in full swing, Li Ran did not stay there for too long, because he had more important things to do.
After Li Ran directly handed over the reform at the gate of the city to Owl Yi's full responsibility, Li Ran immediately returned to Jishi's home, drove a carriage, and came to the gate of Fengduan's mansion alone.
At this time, Feng Duan had already heard the movement at the gate of the city today, and was thinking about "countermeasures" by himself, but unexpectedly Li Ran would come to visit unexpectedly at this time.
In addition to being surprised, Feng Duan also faintly showed a cold color that was not easy to detect.
Feng Duan naturally wanted to go out to greet him, but after Li Ran sent a large box of gifts directly into Feng Duan's mansion, Feng Duan also deduced from this that Li Ran came here with "good intentions".That's why he felt relieved, and looked at Li Ran who came to visit with a smile on his face and said:
"Oh, rare guest! What a rare guest!"
"My nephew has been in Zhengyi for more than a year, I'm afraid this is the first time I have visited Fengfu as a guest?"
"However, this is..."
Even though he had already guessed what was in the box, for the sake of face, he still had to pretend to ask.
Li Ran heard the sound and said quickly:
"What Doctor Boshi said is absolutely true!"
"Li Ran has been in Zhengyi for more than a year, but he never visited Mr. Deboshi's mansion. It's really disrespectful!"
"Thus, since I have come today, how can I come empty-handed? This is my little wish for offering sacrifices to my family, and it is really not a respect. Please accept it with a smile, Doctor Boshi!"
With that said, Li Ran ordered someone to open the box.
Rituals are indeed generous gifts.And Li Ran made it very clear.This gift was given by him to sacrifice his family, not a political gift.
Even though Feng Duan saw this gift, he didn't mind it, after all, as Zheng Guo's third leader, what rare treasures had he never seen?
However, these accompanying gifts also showed Li Ran's sincerity in wanting to make friends with him.And he also intends to make friends with Li Ran, so for him, it is natural that anyone who comes is welcome.
"Nephew, what is this called!"
"Come in quickly! Come in quickly!"
Feng Duan didn't refuse the visitor, but it seemed very straightforward. He immediately asked his servant to put away the box, and then led Li Ran straight into the living room to sit down.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, my nephew, the old man has long wanted to go to the sacrificial mansion to visit my nephew, but I am always bound by many trivial matters, it is really hard to escape!"
At any rate, Feng Duan had to find some high-sounding reasons, which were a little close.At least you have to make your previous behavior understandable.
"Besides, thinking about the Smoky Tunnel Alliance that we participated in a few days ago, if it was not because of the mediation of the good nephew, which solved the urgent need for the old man, how could the old man still sit here and chat with the good nephew calmly?" ?”
Since he received Li Ran's generous gift, he had to say some decent words.
These words not only thanked Li Ran for his mediation at the beginning, but also implied that he really has no intention of fighting Zichan again, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After all, he has worked hard in Zheng Guo's officialdom for many years, and Feng Duan's speech skills are also extremely superb.
"Hehe, the doctor laughed, but it's just a matter of pushing the boat along the way. The success of the Xuntun League is ultimately due to the doctor's sincerity. As for Li Ran, how much credit can he have?"
"Today, the court hall of Zheng Guo is peaceful, and it is all thanks to the doctor's ability to understand the general situation. This is really a blessing for the country!"
Of course, Li Ran was not to be outdone, and even praised him.
The two exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then, Feng Duan began to insinuate and ask:
"Benqing heard that my nephew made a lot of noise at the gate of the city today. Did he engage in a move to lower interest rates? I don't know if this is true or not?"

"The doctor is really well informed."
"That's true."
Feng Duan was startled when he heard the sound, and couldn't help wondering:
"I heard that nephew Xian invented Ziqian. Although the interest is the source of Jishi's future profit. But this method is after all, out first and then in. This is not in line with Jishi's usual style. Therefore, nephew Xian Now such an approach, is there no one in the family who opposes it?"
The so-called Ziqian is to earn interest from borrowing, just like the venture capital of later generations. This is indeed the main way for Ziqian family to make profits.
However, Li Ran's actions now obviously damage the interests of the lender.Therefore, now this money has become a transaction in which risks and benefits are not equal in the eyes of others.That being the case, would there be no complaints within the Ji clan?
"Doctor Mingjian."
"The matter of Ziqian was jointly led by Li Ran and his father-in-law, and all the funds were borne by the two of us."
"It's for the country and the people, but how dare you care about the profit? And my father-in-law has always understood the righteousness. My father-in-law has also made it clear that he believes that this matter is duty-bound!"
Yes, the money paid was from Li Ran and Ji Xian, so as long as the two of them don't say anything, what can the other clan elders say?
Anyway, how much they can earn in the end is all for Li Ran and Jixian. The other clan elders haven't participated yet, so why make irresponsible remarks?
Hearing this, Feng Duan couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and then praised:
"Well, it is really a blessing for the common people to have such a good son-in-law as a nephew!"
"The matter of Ziqian benefits the people. If it is carried out, our country of Zheng will be rich and rich, and the world will be rich. Such a country will be prosperous!"
While talking, Feng Duan got up and wanted to bow to Li Ran.
"Feng Duan is here, on behalf of thousands of ordinary people, to thank you for the righteousness of offering sacrifices to the clan!"
"Oh, you can't do it, you can't do it at all!"
Li Ran hurriedly got up and supported him, his face was full of panic.
"However, I have been favored by the State of Zheng. If I am lucky today, how can I not give back to the State of Zheng?"
"Doctor Wan, please don't upset this junior."
Li Ran shook his head, the expression of shame on his face was even worse.
After hearing this, Feng Duan naturally stopped insisting, and immediately sat down again.
"That virtuous nephew came to visit today, but I don't know what it is..."
"Oh, that's it."
Entering the topic, Li Ran's expression changed slightly, only hearing that he deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a low voice:
"However, I heard that there are quite a few people in the fiefdoms of Doctor Boshi, whose common people are still quite resistant to Doctor Zichan's new policies, and there are even many people who maliciously slander them!"
"Because of this, the doctor is deeply disturbed!"
"However, what was agreed at the top of the court is so wantonly slandered by these subordinates. If it is spread by those merchants traveling from south to north, how will other countries treat my country Zheng in the future?"
"Besides, the matter of the son's money, the doctor has also seen it with his own eyes. This is definitely not because his father-in-law wants to fill his own pockets, but he is really dedicated to serving the people!"
"It's a pity that these subordinates don't understand its meaning and don't know the benefits of the new policy, so the government order can't be understood!"
As he said that, Li Ran couldn't help but sighed helplessly, feeling melancholy for a while.
But after he finished speaking, Feng Duan's face paused slightly, and then a slight cunning appeared between his brows and eyes.
"What Ziming said is true, but... Although Duan has made repeated orders, this matter must not be discussed again. But those common people in the feudal city just refuse to obey! Sigh, the old man is also powerless now. "

This is typical prevarication and perfunctory.
Regarding this, Li Ran was not in a hurry, and suddenly threw out a sentence:
"Therefore, I came here today because I hope that the doctor can teach by precepts and deeds, so as to help my priest! If the doctor can give the order personally, I think these common people will definitely follow."
"What? The old man will go personally? This..."
"Don't worry, doctor, Li Ran hasn't finished speaking yet."
Before Feng Duan could finish speaking, Li Ran immediately interrupted it and said:
"There are tens of thousands of common people in the state of Zheng. If we only rely on my Jishi family in the future, it will definitely not be able to satisfy these many people."
"In addition, in recent years, more and more refugees have come from all over the world. If you want to resettle them and give them some barren land to make a living, you will need even more money."
"So, when the time is right, I invite the doctor and all the ministers to participate in it!"
If you say a thousand things and ten thousand things, the only thing that can really move people's hearts is profit.
Li Ran's meaning is very clear. Today's Ziqian is led by Jishi, but in the future, if he wants to increase the scale, he still has to rely on the family background of Feng Duan and other senior officials.
And this sub-money, if it is managed well, is obviously a business that can make money without losing money.
So, for Feng Duan and others, isn't it like money dropped from the sky?

Chapter 195 New Deal, New Atmosphere
In front of Italy, which was visible to the naked eye, even Feng Duan couldn't help but feel a little moved for a while.

Although his heart is moved, his IQ is still there.
How could Li Ran give up such a good thing so easily?
Is there any fraud in this?Could it be another game set up by Zichan and Li Ran?
Li Ran's wit really worried him.
When Li Ran heard the sound from the side, he also knew that this was Feng Duan's fear of him.After fighting against each other several times, he has already seen clearly what he thinks about Feng Duan.
"Doctor Boshi, don't worry, I, Jishi, took the lead in taking the lead in the matter of Ziqian, and now I am preparing to cooperate with several other merchants to join the fundraising."
"Dr. Zichan only has the right to monitor this matter, but not to control it. Therefore, why should we discuss this matter with Dr. Zichan?"
The fact is indeed the case. After all, Ziqian, after all, is only a spontaneous business transaction among the people at present, and as the son of the ruling secretary, he naturally only has the power to supervise this matter, but how can he control it at will?

Taking a step back, as long as there is no forced apportionment monopoly in this kind of business behavior, there is actually no need for officials to intervene too much.
The reason why Li Ran wants to let as many officials and businessmen as possible into the game is to spread the money as much as possible on the one hand, and to prevent the formation of monopoly on the other hand.
Hearing what Li Ran said, Feng Duan immediately felt relieved, and a smile spread across his face.
"It's so good, hehe, it's so good!"
"To tell you the truth, my nephew, I am quite optimistic about this money. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope my nephew will not hesitate to teach me!"
"Quite optimistic" means that we are ready to enter the game.
After all, when it comes to profitable business, Dr. Qing of Zheng Guo is rarely indifferent.
"Okay! With Dr. Boshi's words, I can rest assured."
"The implementation of the new policy is related to the rejuvenation of Zheng Guo, and the matter of Ziqian is related to the vital interests of all the doctors. Therefore, if Dr. Boshi is able to assist us, why should Zheng Guo be unhappy?!"
By the way, Li Ran paid another wave of flattery, his respect was beyond words.
"Since that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore, and I still have to go to Dr. Zibai's house..."
"Oh? Could it be Si Zixi? Why is my nephew going to visit that Si Zixi?"
Without waiting for Li Ran to speak, Feng Duan couldn't help frowning and asked.
In recent days, Si Hei has had many conflicts with him, and they have even turned against each other openly above the court.But at this time Li Ran said in front of his face that he was going to visit Si Hei, he was naturally a little displeased.
Upon hearing this, Li Ran immediately said:
"Of course it's also for money."
"Right now, it's not just the common people in Dr. Boshi's fief who know little about the New Deal. In fact, it's the same with many Shangqings."
"So, if you want this method to be carried out smoothly...then, of course, you don't dare not go to Doctor Zixi's side."
After the words fell, Li Ran's face was full of sighs, as if he was helpless with the reality, but also as if he was full of worries about the future.
Especially the word "dare not" interpreted the uneasiness in his heart to the extreme.
When Rao Feng Duan saw this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said:
"That fellow, Si Ziba, has always been one-sided! Hmph, if my nephew wants to persuade him, I'm afraid it will be hopeless!"
Feng Duan has always kept in mind Si Hei's opportunistic revenge against him recently, so how can he give him a good evaluation now?
The meaning of Feng Duan's words is also quite obvious, that is, to make Li Ran know who is the one who can really help him in this matter.
At the beginning, he asked Si Dai to recruit Li Ran, but now Li Ran came to visit, which was regarded as a response.
But that Si Hei has always been straightforward, and has no understanding of the world. Since he didn't give you any benefits for Li Ran, why should you put your hot face on your cold ass?
"Thank you doctor for your advice, but you should keep your words and deeds, and dare not forget the doctor's friendship."
Hearing Feng Duan's words, Li Ran immediately expressed his attitude.
After Feng Duan heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly, but he couldn't help thinking to himself: No matter what, this Li Ran is not my Feng Duan's person after all, so what am I worrying about for him?
……
So, after coming out of Fengduan's mansion, Li Ran really went to Sihei's mansion immediately.
However, unlike lobbying Fengduan's perfunctory and nonsense, lobbying Sihei is quite simple.
For one thing, at the time of the Xuntun League meeting, it was Li Ran who sent someone to report to Si Hei. Just mentioning this incident was enough to make Si Hei "tearful of gratitude" to Li Ran.
Secondly, Si Hei himself has no city power. Although he has occasional blessings from skilled hands, he has pure ideas and simple routines after all.
Therefore, it is not difficult to persuade him, just the few beautiful maids brought by Li Ran are enough.
Therefore, after a brief discussion on the surface, Si Hei immediately agreed, and promised to follow what Li Ran said, and spread news to the various fiefdoms of his family to encourage him in the fiefdoms. of the common people to try the New Deal.
Of course, this can also be seen as a move by Si Hei to continue to show his favor to Zi Chan.
After all, although he is currently ranked as the top minister, he is always ranked at the bottom. Although his seniority is high, his position is still at the level of a dwarf.
In addition, he has completely fallen out with Feng Duan now, and he urgently needs allies right now.
Since Feng Duan couldn't rely on it, Zichan naturally became the only choice.
Li Ran is well aware of this, but he will not point it out.
……
After going back and forth like this, Li Ran opened up all the joints of Ziqian like a paw Ding Jie Niu, and Zi Chan's New Deal has no obstacles.
Whether it is Fengduan or Sihei, on the day after Li Ran went to visit, he instructed the magistrates of his family to start letting the common people in the fiefs try Ziqian and the New Deal.
After several twists and turns, this land reform, which was enough to change the entire national destiny of Zheng State, was finally implemented.
As Li Ran expected, the elders of the Ji clan immediately figured out the mystery after seeing Li Ran's coquettish operation.As a result, they all changed their opposing attitudes of the day, and actively prepared for starting money.
And the "landlords" who have always been the most stubborn, perhaps because of their herd mentality, actually joined in.What's more, some "landlords" did not hesitate to farm in person in order to "loan" more money.
After all, after losing a large number of tenants, they can only find ways to recruit refugees from various places to enrich their labor force.If you really can't recruit them, then you have no choice but to call on all the clansmen to go into battle in person.
Therefore, Zheng Guo was full of excitement for a while, and the enthusiasm for farming was unprecedentedly high.
Of course, whether it is ordinary people or the new land reclaimed by "landlords", it will eventually be registered by the government and taxed by the mu.Naturally, the office inexplicably became the biggest winner in the end.
And those refugees who fled to Zheng State for various other reasons also played the role of the original "tenant farmers" in large numbers.So, in other words, most of them have found their own shelter as soon as they came to Zheng country.
Such a benevolent government can naturally win a good reputation for Zheng Guo.Therefore, Zichan and Li Ran also became famous for a while because of this vigorous reform.
……
As for Li Ran, since the New Deal was carried out in full swing, he never rested for a moment.
In order to carry out Ziqian's New Deal, he has personally gone to the countryside several times to learn more about the situation and solve problems for the villagers.
He even did not hesitate to go to battle in person, to experience the joy of working with the villagers together with Ji Le.
The sweat of hard work was streaming down his face, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.
He doesn't know whether this rather "modern" road can continue to operate in this era.But at least for now, the situation can be regarded as very optimistic.
He also sometimes thinks, if... he can implement this New Deal to other places...
When resting in the fields, he also had endless reveries.But he is also very clear that if he wants to completely reshape this era from top to bottom, how easy is it to rely on this trivial change?
