Chapter 196 Understand the sentiments of the people
As Zichan's new policy and Li Ran's money gradually gain popularity, everything is moving forward for the better.
Today, roughly 60% of the common people in the Zheng Kingdom have more or less accepted the money and have begun to cultivate the wasteland assigned to them. Most of the remaining people are still conservative.
the common people under their rule.
Li Ran also knew that although the lobbying for Feng Duan and Si Hei went very smoothly at that time, in the end the effect could not be reflected so quickly.
After all, although the local wealthy families like them can also profit from the money, but ten thousand people have ten thousand thoughts, and those fief chiefs who look after their masters' homes and courtyards are still temporarily incapacitated.
Can not accept.
Any measures that will destroy the existing structure will be like facing a formidable enemy to them.
Even if they stick to the old ways and stay in their own ways, it is likely that the feudal towns under their rule will see a large number of common people overflowing.
After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. People will eventually make decisions on two legs. In short, in the end, there is a high probability that they will still be unable to avoid the wheel of history and roll forward.
However, for Li Ran, he was not in a hurry at this moment. Because he also knew that no matter how anxious he was, it would be of no use.
As the so-called "Yuan Henry Zhen", Li Ran knew very well that at best he could only make this matter get off to a good start.
After all, everything in this world has a certain destiny. No matter how good Li Ran's planning is and how thoughtful he is, he still has to let things evolve and develop consciously.
No matter what it is, it must be done step by step so that it can be successful.
…
One day, Li Ran, Ji Le, Owl Yi, Chu Dang and others continued to inspect the countryside, so a group of people headed to another Muqiu outside Zhengyi City with great momentum.
All over the mountains and fields, we can see the figures of rural people working. And the melodious songs are reverberating in the valley, making it a lively scene.
Li Ran saw all this and was overjoyed.
"Eh? Isn't this Mr. Li Ziming Li?"
"I've met Mr. Li!"
There were not a few villagers who knew Li Ran. Seeing Li Ran's arrival, the villagers all put down their farm work and knelt down to Li Ran from a distance.
With the implementation of the New Deal, Li Ran's reputation in the eyes of the people has also increased day by day, which is obvious.
"Quick, go and give Mr. Ziming some food."
"Lord Ziming, you're so lucky to have come all the way!"
The villagers spontaneously brought their most cherished fruits and vegetables, and sat down together to chat with Li Ran about trivial matters of reclaiming wasteland: for example, how many acres of wasteland this family has plowed, and how many acres of green seedlings that family has planted?
, how big the harvest will be next year, etc.
While Li Ran listened attentively, he also asked insinuatingly about their attitude towards Zi Qian.
What Li Ran is most worried about is Zi Qian. On the one hand, because this is what he strongly advocates. On the other hand, he knows that this approach is too advanced in this era. In fact, no one can know how effective it will be.
Anticipate.
"Sir, although this money is good, we don't have many people in our family. If we borrow too much, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay it back in the future."
"Hey, Master Ziming, my family has reclaimed twenty acres of wasteland! If there is no famine, we will definitely be able to pay it back next year!"
Indeed, in this era where productivity determines everything, the amount of money is actually irrelevant. What matters is still the indispensable manpower.
Li Ran was chatting with the villagers, and then he left the field together with Ji Le.
The villagers have long known that this Li Ran is very different from all the other high officials. This Li Ran is the most willing to advance and retreat with their common people.
Therefore, when working together with Li Ran, my enthusiasm became even more intense.
And while Li Ran was working, Li Ran suddenly caught a glimpse of Ji Le not far away from his peripheral vision.
I saw that at this time, Ji Le was planting rice seedlings in a decent manner, but there was always something wrong with his movements.
Since Ji Le always wore a veil when he went out, Li Ran didn't actually notice anything strange about Ji Le along the way.
But in fact, Ji Le was not in a good mood during this journey.
It's not because she, as a rich woman, hates these farm chores. It's just because when she and Li Ran go out several times, there is always such a large group of people behind them-->>

Man, this made her very distressed.
She originally thought that after leaving Zheng Yi, she would always be able to have some alone time with Li Ran, but who knew that there would be so many people following her everywhere.
This is not to mention how uncomfortable it is for Ji Le, who has an unruly nature.
And Ji Le seemed to feel the bitterness of the "big shot" for the first time.
"fun."
When Ji Le heard the sound, she turned around and saw that Li Ran had already walked up to her and pulled Ji Le across the edge of the field to a remote place.
"Le'er, my husband just suddenly thought of something, and Mrs. Lao gave me some advice."
Li Ran, who is not restricted by historical limitations, has an endless number of ideas in his mind.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Hearing this, Ji Le became somewhat interested and immediately asked.
Li Ran thought for a moment and seemed to be clearing his thoughts, but when he looked at Ji Le, he looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to speak.
This made Ji Le anxious, and he immediately said angrily:
"Let's talk about it, why is my husband so hesitant to speak? What on earth did your husband have in mind?"
Li Ran looked around and saw that Owl Yi, Chu Dang and others were far away, and then he said:
"Let's have more babies."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he finished speaking, Ji Le's face turned dark and he gave Li Ran a blank look.
"What is this called...what...is this what my husband just thought of?"
"No... Le'er misunderstood me."
Li Ran hurriedly explained.
"When I was chatting with the villagers just now, I suddenly felt that for the common people, if they want to increase productivity, this labor force is actually the most critical."
"Look at Uncle Wang's family. Because of their large labor force, they can cultivate twenty acres of wasteland. If Uncle Yan's family also has such a large labor force, then their family can naturally cultivate so much wasteland..."
Li Ran was still talking to Ji Le about the principles of governing the world, but he didn't even notice the change in Ji Le's mood under the veil.
"Humph, it turns out that this is what my husband was thinking of! Common people are common people, so what does it have to do with us? Could it be that my husband only sees the benefits of being more productive for the common people, but does not see the disadvantages of fighting against each other among the noble clans?
?”
Ji Le pouted, his words full of dissatisfaction.
In fact, if you really want to say it, strictly speaking, Ji Le's words are indeed good. However, according to Ji Le's past character, she would definitely not refute Li Ran like this.
However, the mood of this daughter's family is like this. If they are really unhappy, they cannot suppress it at all.
But after Li Ran was choked by Ji Le, he was really bewildered by the scolding, and couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Obviously, Li Ran still hasn't been able to react.
At this time, Ji Le didn't say anything more. After giving Li Ran a blank look, he turned around and went to the farmland to continue planting rice.
She originally thought that Li Ran saw that she was unhappy, so he came to talk to her.
But who knows, Li Ran's heart is now full of family, country and world, but he doesn't even notice himself.
Ji Leke became even more depressed now. He didn't say a word, he just felt that Li Ran no longer cared about him.
But how could Li Ran understand the girl's thoughts? If he had been so sensitive, he wouldn't have stayed single for so long.
Seeing Ji Le's unhappy look, Li Ran thought he had said something wrong just now and hurriedly wanted to catch up and explain.
But he turned a deaf ear to the festival music and just kept busy planting rice seedlings.
It was getting late before she came out of the farmland, but she didn't go with Li Ran and actually returned to the manor alone.
No matter how stupid Li Ran was, he still saw the seriousness of the problem, so he hurried forward to ask.
However, Owl Yi, Chu Dang and others who were closely following them all the way couldn't say something clearly, so they had to go back to the manor to discuss it later.
After returning to the manor, Ji Le just went to wash himself, leaving Li Ran alone in the courtyard. He didn't ask or didn't ask. It was so embarrassing to call him.
