Chapter 193 Chapter 201 Chapter 202
Just when Li Ran stayed up all night because of the assassination, it was night, in Zhengyi City not far from Jishi Manor, there was actually another important person who did not fall asleep.
"Doctor Boshi, you have to take care of this matter no matter what!"
"Yeah, what does this sound like?! The common people in our feudal city have gone to reclaim private land, but the public land has been abandoned! Could it be that we still count on the meager taxes of these common people to support us?"
"Nonsense New Deal! It's clear that the overseas Chinese want to force us to death!"
In Fengduan's mansion, a large group of feudal magistrates who came from all over the country poured out their bitterness to Fengduan.
With the implementation of the Zichan New Deal and the Ziqian Law, because the common people have reclaimed their own private land, the "landlords" in these fiefdoms have no one to take care of the public land in their hands. .
In desperation, although they were able to recruit a lot of refugees to fill the vacancies, compared to the lost common people, the number of these refugees was simply a drop in the bucket.
If things go on like this, these magistrates and the "landlords" in the fiefs will naturally have a sharp drop in harvest.
However, although on the surface, these "landlords" did owe the harvest.But what about behind the scenes?The magistrates of these feudal cities, relying on sub-money alone, did not make a small profit.
It's like buying a lottery ticket. Someone wins 1000 million, but when he goes to claim the prize, he is told that he has only won 900 million, and then he quits.Crying that someone else swallowed him 100 million.Then the stern-faced ones just refused to leave, they had to get the other 100 million, and even became angry from embarrassment, and even set fire to the entire award center.
But now these magistrates and the "landlords" in their fiefdoms obviously belong to this situation.
However, after all, the new policy was proposed by Zichan, and it was also pushed forward by Zichan alone. Facing the current situation above the court of Zheng Guo, how can they, the eunuchs, speak up?Therefore, they can only come to seek help from their Suzerain—— Fengduan.
"Everyone, don't panic, this old man has already heard about it."
"Zichan has overcorrected. He only cares about the common people, and completely disregards the life and death of the people of the country. It can be said that he is chasing the bottom at the bottom!"
"However, the old man is already trying to figure out a solution, so please wait patiently."
Although Feng Duan agreed to Li Ran's assistance in Zi Qian's progress, it was all from the perspective of interests.After all, even if he doesn't play, there are plenty of people who want to play.
However, the Ziqian belongs to the Ziqian, and the New Deal belongs to the New Deal.Once Zichan's new policy touched his core interests, how could he tolerate it?
Seeing so many magistrates coming to him for help this time, he naturally wanted to make a statement.
However, because of the previous Xuntun League meeting, he did give in to Zichan.It would obviously be unwise to confront Zichan head-on right now.
Therefore, this matter can only be considered in the long run.
"No, Doctor Boshi! When will we wait?"
"Yeah, now I can't wait to see it!"
"The Zichan New Deal must not go on any longer! If it goes on like this, is it possible that if we really go to subdue that overseas Chinese?"
These Yizai are in a hurry.
It's not just because of the loss of the common people that their apparent interests in their own fiefs have plummeted.
Moreover, more importantly, in the interest chain of Zichan's "serving as a seal", once the income of the fiefdom is directly linked to the total income of the office, the local forces are likely to directly Fall to the side of the public interest represented by Zichan.
What's more, since you, the leader of the conservative faction, have already surrendered to Zichan, then what's the problem with these eunuchs also surrendering to Zichan?
As the saying goes, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, once these people have taken refuge in the government, Zichan only needs to invite and buy some people's hearts at that time, then wouldn't you, Fengduan, become a polished commander in an instant?
"Humph!"
"Remember, everyone! You are all the magistrates of my Feng clan! Not these private officials born by other sons!"
It is rare for Feng Duan to speak to these eunuchs with a more serious tone, and his facial expression is also very sharp.
In some matters, in some occasions, it is still necessary to "distinguish between public and private".
Hearing this, all the magistrates dared not talk anymore.
"I will arrange the Zichan New Deal by myself. When you go back, you will tell the people under each of you on behalf of the old man. It's better to be quiet and less noisy!"
"A sparrow flies to the sky, but it is only a sparrow after all! Even if the roc falls to the ground, it will always be a roc! Do you all understand?"
People in this era are destined to be what kind of person they will be in this life from the moment they are born.
The meaning of Feng Duan's words is also very clear, even if some people in his fiefdom really take refuge in Zichan, they are just sparrows after all, and it is absolutely impossible to fly to the sky just like this.
Therefore, it is better to think less about whimsical things.
When the magistrates who came to ask for help heard Feng Duan's words, they also understood in their hearts, so they didn't say any more.Immediately, taking advantage of the last bit of darkness before dawn, he hurriedly left Zhengyi by car.
After they left, a martial artist bowed in from outside the door.
"how?"
Fengduan asked expressionlessly.
"Return to the doctor... let that person escape by chance..."
The warrior seemed to be a little scared, and he seemed hesitant when speaking.
When Feng Duan heard the sound, his complexion suddenly changed, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
"Didn't Shuniu say that this hit is sure to hit? How did that guy escape again?!"
"Doctor Hui... When the brothers made their move... they encountered a group of hunters hunting at night. They... were blocked by them..."
Jishi Manor is not too far away from Zhengyi, and if the horse is on the fast track, the news will come and go very quickly.
It's just that until now, this martial artist still doesn't seem to be able to figure out who is behind him to disrupt the situation?
"Orion?"
"Then... did you find out? What is the origin of those people?"
How can Feng Duan believe that those people are ordinary hunters?Besides, Li Ran has always been cautious, Feng Duan would rather believe that this was arranged by Li Ran himself.
However, it is obvious that according to the report from the informant in the Jishi other courtyard, Li Ran left in a hurry this time, and did not make detailed arrangements for the defense.So much so that their number one warrior, Chu Dang, never appeared from the beginning to the end.
So, maybe... Just like when Li Ran went to Zheng Guo all the way back then, there are still people secretly protecting him now?
If this is the case, how can Feng Duan not find out the origins of these people?
"Haven't... haven't found out yet... these hunters...these people come and go without a trace, and when the subordinates rushed there, there was no one in the woods. Presumably..."
"Could it be that...the people in Zhengyi City came to help?"
There are only two people they can suspect now, one is Jishi, and the other is Zichan.
But no matter whether it's Jixian or Zichan, they don't seem to be quite the same.
"According to the people in the Jifu, Jixian doesn't seem to have received any suspicious people today, let alone said anything strange..."
"As for Zichan, he is just a poor gentleman. He usually relies on Jishi's appointments to make ends meet. If you say that under his command, there are definitely not so many people who can be driven by him..."
"Check! No matter what, you have to check it out!"
Feng Duan's voice fell, and with another wave of his hand, the warrior retreated immediately.
Seeing the warrior leave, Feng Duan turned his head to look at the dawn outside the door.
"Since the hard ones are not good, then we can only come to the soft ones."
"At this point, it seems that there is no way out. If you don't fight hard, how can you pull Zi Chan down?"
"Hmph, just watch, it's a good show, it's still to come..."
Toyoduan muttered to himself while looking at the bright sky.With the dawn of the crowing of the rooster, another layer of mist shrouded the earth.

Chapter 202 Don't Destroy the Township School
The New Deal and the new atmosphere, since Li Ran established his trust, the New Deal and Ziqian immediately received the response of the common people in Zheng State, and a vigorous movement to reclaim wasteland began.
Such a grand occasion, let alone in the country of Zheng, has never happened before, and even among other countries, it is also rare.
This makes the child who has been depressed on weekdays show a bit of joy.
Another month passed, and with the number of acres of private land reported from all over the country, the smile on Zichan's face became even brighter.
"Ah, yes! Let's take a closer look! If we go according to the current situation, in at least two years, our Zheng country will definitely become the largest granary in the Central Plains!"
"Hey, by then, I, Zheng Guofei, will not have to worry about food anymore!"
Yes, in this era, food is the hardest currency.
Only when there is food can there be people, and only when there are people can engage in various productions, and only when there is production capacity can the country's strength be further developed.
Therefore, don't say that the state of Jin has little food at that time, even if it is the state of Qi with a lot of food, when the time comes to see their yield per mu in Zheng State, it will only be jealous!
Thinking about it this way, Rao Zichan couldn't help but get a little excited.
But at this moment, the next doctor whom he called Ran Ming showed a worried look on his face.
"However...it's not that Mie is worrying about the sky, it's just...Mie heard that the rumors about the New Deal in various places have become more and more intense recently, and they are likely to spread. If we don't control it in the future, I'm afraid there will be some troubles. ah."
The person called Ranming by Zichan was a senior official in the state of Zheng.
This man's family name is Mie, and his character is Ranming. He is a member of Zichan Yidang.
Li Mie came to see Zichan today, firstly, to report to Zichan the amount of yield per mu in various places, and secondly, to remind Zichan that the rumors about the New Deal are becoming more and more intense in the state of Zheng.
This is definitely not a good thing for the Zichan Party.
And after he finished speaking, the expression on Zichan's face also changed slightly.
He has also heard rumors from various places recently.
These rumors are mainly concentrated on the recent township assembly.A group of pretentious aristocratic children expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the New Deal through the township school assembly.
But the routines they are used to are still those clichés.Such as "does not conform to the Zhou etiquette", "there is a difference between the superior and the inferior", "the ritual is broken and the music collapses", or it is such as using "the law of the ancestors" to talk about things.
Of course, some people proceed from the actual situation and say that the scale of private land should be limited.Now all the common people in the country are farming private land, so who will take care of the public land?
Yes, in their eyes, the interests of the nobility and their superiority should be preserved.And the common people should be born to work for them, and they will never be able to stand up again.
Of course, this kind of speech is in today's era, and it is indeed extremely inflammatory, especially in the circle of nobles like them.
Although these nobles are essentially speaking, their interests may not be affected much.After all, public land is a field, and private land is also a field.The taxes that these common people have to pay are actually given to them a lot.
However, those of them who are aristocrats just don't want their common people to turn around one day.
Therefore, the verbal and written criticism of Zichan's New Deal is particularly sharp.Under the instigation and criticism of these scholars, the notoriety of "Zi Chan's tyrannical government" immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhengyi.
And it is precisely from this that Yan Mi's worries come from.
After all, the buttocks of these nobles directly determine their heads.
For them, this is no longer a matter of benefit or not.It's just to maintain their innate "superiority".
Obviously, this was unexpected by Ling Zichan.He didn't expect that even if he didn't touch the interests of these nobles, this group of people still refused to let it go.
And these "noble circles" and "scholars" are even more troublesome because they are a mirror of whether the country is properly governed, but you really can't ignore their existence.
"So, I think that if the township school assembly is not temporarily closed, such remarks may be difficult to stop."
Li Mie also gave his opinion at the same time.
That being the case, it would be better to shut down the township school assembly for the time being, and completely cut off the occasions and channels for them to spread rumors.
But the disadvantages of this method are also obvious. It is better to guard against people's mouths than Fangchuan. It is not so simple to really stop these people's mouths.
After Zichan heard the words, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Of course he knew the influence of the spread of rumors on himself, but if he really shut down the township school assembly, it would undoubtedly be telling the world that Zichan was really scared. up.
But if it is not closed, let the rumors continue to spread underneath.At that time, the nobles from all over the country will unite for another "rebellion like the overthrow of King Zhou Li" back then. Wouldn't Zi Chan just sit and wait to die?
At that time, Zheng's domestic turmoil will resume, so how can there be any peace?
Thinking about this, Zichan felt a dilemma.
"Come on, hurry up and invite Li Ziming here."
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to call Li Ran to discuss.
"Li Ziming?"
"What's the use of asking him to discuss this matter? What ideas can he come up with?"
After all, Li Mie is also a doctor, but Li Ran is just a passer-by. Could it be that Li Ran could propose a better method than him?
"Ziming has always been very wise, it is always right to ask him to come to discuss."
Zichan didn't pay attention to Li Mi's subtle reaction, and only signaled the servant to invite Li Ran as soon as possible.
Not long after, Li Ran arrived.
When Zichan saw Li Ran coming, he was not polite, and quickly explained the cause and effect to him.
Li Ran is no stranger to this township school assembly.After all, his "first pot of gold in life" was dug out at the township school assembly in Lu State.
The so-called township assembly was originally just a place for many students to exchange arguments.At the same time, it also provides a step for all students to move to a higher level.
However, I didn't expect that when criticizing the government became a trend.The township school assembly will also become a complaint meeting.
"Even so, I think that the township school assembly must not be closed!"
Li Ran also expressed his opinion very firmly.
"But...Zi Ming has also heard the recent rumors about the New Deal?"
"Nowadays, people are criticizing the current affairs there because of the convenience of this place! The impact is already very bad!"
"If it is not shut down, this matter will definitely be disadvantageous. At that time, as far as we are concerned, the gain will not be worth the loss!"
The contemptuous attitude is also very firm. In his opinion, shutting down the township school assembly is the best choice at present, there is no one.
After all, the officials must not end in person and compete with these people.For the current plan, the only way to stop the rumors from further fermenting is to shut down the township school.
"The gain outweighs the loss? Could it be that in the eyes of Dr. Ranming, the impact of the township assembly is only harmful but not beneficial?"
"The doctor knows that since he is a gentleman, he should have a family and a country in his heart, and he should benefit the world with justice in his heart! What is benefiting the world? Taking the hearts of the people as the heart is a great benefit! Now the doctor Zichan is implementing the new policy, which is to benefit the people. A good thing. But why do you turn such a good thing into a bad thing?"
Li Ran corrected him by the way, what exactly is "gain and loss of interests".
Yes, in an incorrect way, to promote a thing that was originally justifiable.The result of this approach is often counterproductive.
"So, why shut down the township school assembly? Whether it's the nobles or the people of the country, since they gather together, they talk there and criticize the current problems. Isn't this a good thing for the whole country? Is it possible? Does it have to turn into 'the survival of the country, the people of the country are not responsible' in the end, and then the doctor thinks this is a good thing?"
"What's more, did the doctor forget the story of 'King Zhou Li's passer-by with eyes'?"
Here is a little explanation. The so-called "passers-by with eyes" refers to the period of King Zhou Li, who also tried to force the New Deal, so that he was slandered by the people of the country. In order to suppress public opinion, King Zhou Li strictly prohibited passers-by from talking to each other.Therefore, when people walked on the road, they could only communicate with each other through eyes.This is the so-called "passers-by with eyes".
This may be the earliest "public opinion control" in Chinese history.However, in the end, King Zhou Li himself paid the price with his life for this.
"So, since it is beneficial to the country and the people, and we can get their approval, we will continue to implement it. If it is really not beneficial to the country or the people, we will actively correct it. Those who participated in the township assembly People, no matter what kind of people they are, can be our teachers, so why should we shut it down?"
Yes, whether it is a person or a country, only when it is "open-minded", can this country be full of vitality, vigor and vitality.
(End of this chapter)
Just when Li Ran stayed up all night because of the assassination, it was night, in Zhengyi City not far from Jishi Manor, there was actually another important person who did not fall asleep.
"Doctor Boshi, you have to take care of this matter no matter what!"
"Yeah, what does this sound like?! The common people in our feudal city have gone to reclaim private land, but the public land has been abandoned! Could it be that we still count on the meager taxes of these common people to support us?"

When Zichan saw Li Ran coming, he was not polite, and quickly explained the cause and effect to him.
Li Ran is no stranger to this township school assembly.After all, his "first pot of gold in life" was dug out at the township school assembly in Lu State.
The so-called township assembly was originally just a place for many students to exchange arguments.At the same time, it also provides a step for all students to move to a higher level.
However, I didn't expect that when criticizing the government became a trend.The township school assembly will also become a complaint meeting.
"Even so, I think that the township school assembly must not be closed!"
Li Ran also expressed his opinion very firmly.
"But...Zi Ming has also heard the recent rumors about the New Deal?"
"Nowadays, people are criticizing the current affairs there because of the convenience of this place! The impact is already very bad!"
"If it is not shut down, this matter will definitely be disadvantageous. At that time, as far as we are concerned, the gain will not be worth the loss!"
The contemptuous attitude is also very firm. In his opinion, shutting down the township school assembly is the best choice at present, there is no one.
After all, the officials must not end in person and compete with these people.For the current plan, the only way to stop the rumors from further fermenting is to shut down the township school.
"The gain outweighs the loss? Could it be that in the eyes of Dr. Ranming, the impact of the township assembly is only harmful but not beneficial?"
"The doctor knows that since he is a gentleman, he should have a family and a country in his heart, and he should benefit the world with justice in his heart! What is benefiting the world? Taking the hearts of the people as the heart is a great benefit! Now the doctor Zichan is implementing the new policy, which is to benefit the people. A good thing. But why do you turn such a good thing into a bad thing?"
Li Ran corrected him by the way, what exactly is "gain and loss of interests".
Yes, in an incorrect way, to promote a thing that was originally justifiable.The result of this approach is often counterproductive.
"So, why shut down the township school assembly? Whether it's the nobles or the people of the country, since they gather together, they talk there and criticize the current problems. Isn't this a good thing for the whole country? Is it possible? Does it have to turn into 'the survival of the country, the people of the country are not responsible' in the end, and then the doctor thinks this is a good thing?"
"What's more, did the doctor forget the story of 'King Zhou Li's passer-by with eyes'?"
Here is a little explanation. The so-called "passers-by with eyes" refers to the period of King Zhou Li, who also tried to force the New Deal, so that he was slandered by the people of the country. In order to suppress public opinion, King Zhou Li strictly prohibited passers-by from talking to each other.Therefore, when people walked on the road, they could only communicate with each other through eyes.This is the so-called "passers-by with eyes".
This may be the earliest "public opinion control" in Chinese history.However, in the end, King Zhou Li himself paid the price with his life for this.
"So, since it is beneficial to the country and the people, and we can get their approval, we will continue to implement it. If it is really not beneficial to the country or the people, we will actively correct it. Those who participated in the township assembly People, no matter what kind of people they are, can be our teachers, so why should we shut it down?"
Yes, whether it is a person or a country, only when it is "open-minded", can this country be full of vitality, vigor and vitality.
