And Li Ran had been sitting at the end of the table, listening to everyone's speeches. When Shu Niu strongly supported the continued ban, although his face was calm, his heart was already turbulent.
Knowing the truth about this "disease", he was very clear about the abnormal behavior of standing up the cow.
Hearing Ji Xian's question, he immediately stood up, stepped forward, bowed in front of Ji Xian and replied:
"Dr. Father-in-law, in fact, the majority of patients in the city these days have mild symptoms. The so-called malaria is actually not serious. If we give it a little more time, it will be a matter of time that the malaria will be eradicated."
He didn't express his opinion as soon as he opened his mouth, and this sentence was also very ambiguous.
This caused some clan elders to be very unhappy with his remarks.
"What are you talking about? What's the point of 'giving time'? You kid got so much money for no reason. You can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry, so you don't have to worry about starving to death!"
"That's right! It was you who insisted on supporting the government's sealing of the city. It was you who said that the sealing of the city was necessary, and now it's you who says that there is no need to seal the city anymore! What kind of attitude do you have? What else can you say?
'Nothing serious'. If that's true, why are we still banned here? Is it because we are happy?"
Regardless of whether they are against the continued ban or those who support the continued ban, they are very dissatisfied with Li Ran's ambiguous statement.
However, what the man said just now is indeed correct. After all, Li Ran has been supporting the closure of the city from the beginning, but now he is saying something that is not offensive to both parties. What is this if he is not a wallflower?
Standing Niu on the side even sneered:
"Haha, let me tell you, Zi Ming, you have been practicing medicine outside these days, and you should be most aware of the situation outside. If you don't get along with each other, don't use it to deal with our own family, right?"
"Don't you have any idea whether the ban should continue?"
Li Ran's behavior of "protecting oneself wisely" by avoiding both sides is really shameful. Even Ji Xian was a little displeased when he heard it.
But what they don't know is that Li Ran only said the first half, and he hasn't said the second half yet.
"Haha, what Brother Meng said is true. I have been practicing medicine these past few days, and I have witnessed the tragic situation in the city with my own eyes, and I really can't bear it."
"If we continue to seal the city, the people in the city will have to pay a heavier price. But if the seal is lifted, our efforts in the past month may be in vain. This is really a dilemma."
"But in Ran's view, there may not be a compromise in this matter."
Yes, Li Ran did not choose to support the continued closure of the city, but he also did not choose to oppose it.
The reason is simple. He knows that the events in the city are all caused by man-made things.
"Oh? A compromise?"
Ji heard the sound first and immediately became interested.
But who would have thought that at this time, a group of clan elders below would complain again:
"Compromise? Do you think this is a deal? Can you please both sides?"
"How can you be so unprincipled, you idiot? Even though we are business people, we must put integrity first!"
Li Ran heard this, but did not answer their questions. He only bowed to the sacrifice and said:
"My father-in-law, please forgive Li Ran for having the courage to speak out. Dr. Zichan's move to seal the city was really for the sake of the people. Now that the malaria in the city has been alleviated, it is okay if we can properly communicate with the outside world!"
"Tsk...it's really a joke!"
"If you communicate with the outside world now, once the disease spreads, what will you tell your neighbors?"
"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot, you Li Ran are not from Zheng, of course you can say that."
Zhu Niu sneered again and again, his face full of a sinister look.
These words immediately aroused the resonance of everyone present, because the bullshit hit a fact that Li Ran could not refute.
He is indeed not from Zheng, nor does he even belong to any vassal state. He comes from the Zhou royal family!
And speaking of it, the Zhou royal family is actually not very popular with the people of Zheng. Because, if you really want to talk about it, there is still a bit of a feud between Zheng and the Zhou royal family.
Throughout the history of the Zhou Dynasty, Zheng was probably the only vassal state that openly fought with the Zhou royal family and exchanged protons with each other.
Once the identity of the royal family member last week was put on the table, it actually became a piece of evidence.
"Okay! You boy is planning to trick us into death!"
For a time, everyone denounced Li Ran one after another, as if Li Ran was their sworn enemy.
On the contrary, Ji Xian knew it in his heart and did not say anything when he heard the voice. He only showed a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, he waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Li Ran and said:
"Please tell me clearly what kind of method it is."
After all, during the previous food relief incident, Li Ran went to Weiguo alone to rescue Ji Zeng and Ji Xun.
Even if others don't believe in Li Ran's courage and courage, Ji Xian still has great trust.
When everyone saw that Ji had spoken first, they immediately stopped and stared at Li Ran, waiting for him to make his next mistake.
"Yes, Zheng Yi has been sealed off for a full period. If things go on like this, Zheng Yi will inevitably decline. If you want to recover by then, it will be hopeless in the short term. Moreover, there have been frequent turmoils in the city recently. If you want to solve this crisis, you can divide it inside and outside the city gate.
Send cured laborers to specific areas and pay them to help the caravans inside and outside the city with supply turnover."
"This is one of them..."
"Remuneration? Should you give me the money or should I? Anyway, I can't afford the money now!"
Before Li Ran finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.
Li Ran immediately said:
"Haha, this expense will be paid by the caravans outside. If they want to supply supplies and turnover in Zhengyi, as long as the price is reasonable, why not?"
Hearing this, Ji couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then motioned for him to continue.
"However, if you want to complete this matter, you must obtain the official's permission, so you still need to persuade your ministers about this matter."
"In addition, we also need to inform the people that whether they are outside caravans or people in the city, they must act in accordance with the imperial edicts. Rush buying and running must not occur. We must ensure that the supply turnover inside and outside Zhengyi is normal. This is the second part.
."
"Thirdly, the medicinal materials in the city are now almost exhausted. If we want to calm down the disease as soon as possible, we must have the government come forward and entrust the caravans outside the city with heavy sums of money to ask them to go to other cities to urgently buy some for Zheng Yi.
Approval of medicinal materials. The caravan will be profitable at that time, so it will not refuse. In order to calm down the malaria as soon as possible, the imperial court will not be stingy with money. In this way, the remaining patients can be cured soon."
Li Ran's so-called compromise method is actually to open a gap in Zheng Yi, which was originally airtight, so that the people can rest and have a way to survive.
Only in this way can the increasing pressure in the city be fundamentally relieved and the gap created between the people and the government can be bridged.
Ji heard the sound first and couldn't help but clapped his hands immediately:
"Color!"
"Well, these three points are well-founded and incisive. You are worthy of being my son-in-law!"
Li Ran's method could solve Ji's urgent need without offending the government, so Ji was very happy.
Even the other clan elders who were sarcastic just now couldn't help but nod slightly when they heard this, and seemed to agree with Li Ran's method.
Zhu Niu, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face and said nothing.
"But it's not easy to convince your ministers about this matter. Are you sure?"
Ji Xian thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked.
Li Ran smiled when he heard the sound, and immediately bowed and said:
"Father-in-law, please rest assured that my son-in-law will do his best."
