The meaning of Li Ran's words is very obvious, that is, if the Ji clan still puts its own interests first at this time, even risking the lives of the people in the city, and lobbying Zichan not to close the four gates, then what will happen?
In Zichan's mind, Jishi was no longer the Jishi with whom he always maintained a tacit agreement.
Zheng Yi is facing a catastrophe, but Jishi is still thinking about this. Not to mention Zichan, other officials with a slight sense of justice will probably feel ashamed of Jishi.
"You idiot! What are you talking about? Do you think you can just ignore the interests of the clan and take care of the overall situation?!"
"If you are really an outsider, your elbows are still pointing outward after all."
"What's the use of a white-eyed wolf that can't be fed enough?"
As Li Ran finished speaking, many sarcastic voices suddenly sounded in the hall. The groom, who was originally praised by them, now became a street rat that everyone shouted for.
Shu Niu also came to his senses, looked at Li Ran with a gloomy look and said:
"Humph, you are indeed not of my race, so you must have different intentions!"
"Dad! This is absolutely necessary..."
"Enough!"
Before Shu Niu could finish his words, Ji Xian suddenly slapped the table and interrupted his words with a shout.
For a moment, everyone subconsciously kept silent and bowed in fear.
Ji Xian's sharp eyes instantly glanced at Shu Niu. Shu Niu felt his face burning hot and was about to speak out, but unexpectedly Ji Xian looked away without hesitation.
"Ziming, please continue talking."
"No!"
In the end, Ji Xian chose to trust Li Ran's intuition.
What those elders said just now is actually understandable. Li Ran is indeed not a real person who worships the clan, he can only be regarded as half of it.
Therefore, as an outsider, he can see many things more clearly.
Therefore, they were indeed wrong about one thing. What Li Ran said just now, the reason why he agreed with Zichan's policy of closing the city was not just because it was beneficial to Zichan.
Ji Xian knew clearly that sealing the city of Zheng Yi at this time would indeed bring huge losses to the Ji family, and would even anger the powerful officials in various vassal states.
This is almost a certain fact.
But the problem is that once the Ji family openly opposes Zichan's decree, the relationship between the Ji family and the official family will no longer be as close as it is now.
Among these official families, there is no doubt that Jishi was the closest to Zichan. Therefore, Zichan is the most important link among them.
If Jishi no longer maintains a tacit understanding with Zichan on this matter, will Zichan continue to fully support Jishi in the future?
Even a fool can see this.
Ji Xian's business has been ups and downs for decades. Naturally, he knows these truths better than anyone else, so how can he make such a confusing account?
Therefore, what everyone said just now was all for their own selfish reasons. Not to mention that they did not consider the interests of Zheng Guogong's family at all. Even the interests of his clan could be ignored. How could this make Xi Xian
Not angry?
And among this group of people, the only one who could keep up with him was Li Ran, who had just married into his wife. How could he not be angry about this?
After forming a sharp contrast with Li Ran, the door-to-door son-in-law, he was naturally even more disappointed with Li Niu's short-sightedness.
"If the order is passed down, if the four gates of Zhengyi are closed by then, the disease will only spread in the city. By then, the people I sacrifice will not be allowed to move around at will. Do you understand me clearly?"
"In addition, since we are Zheng people, we are at the forefront of this national crisis, so we should serve ourselves. If there are medicine stones in the warehouse in the city, as long as the government needs them, I will not postpone them. No matter how much they are worth, they will be sold at half the market price." p>
When Ji Xian said this, his attitude could not be more obvious. When everyone saw this, they knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. So, they were about to leave. Unexpectedly, Li Ran suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Xian and said
It’s an open statement:
"Wait!"
"Oh? What else does Ziming have to say?"
Li Ran stood up and bowed, and said sincerely:
"My son-in-law has been observing the city for half a day. Now there are many people infected with the disease in the city. If we only rely on medical clinics for treatment, I'm afraid it won't be possible. My son-in-law suggested that I call on all the businesses in the family to voluntarily change them into temporary shelters.
He then set up a large pot in front of the door to boil medicine and give it to the patient. Then he sent healthy people to Dr. Zichan’s house to ask for city orders, ordering them to go to other cities to find doctors to help me, Zhengyi." "In addition, when my son-in-law worked for the Zhou royal family, he also read some medical books and tried to see people's illnesses. This time, my son-in-law also volunteered to go and treat the sick people in the city, and he asked his father-in-law to do it." "No, no!"
"All the medicinal materials in my warehouse are to be sent to the Qin State. That has been decided by the Qin people a long time ago! If they are all used by those untouchables, how do you want me to explain to the Qin people? Huh?"<
/p>
A clan elder immediately stood up and objected, looking as if the Qin people would eat him after learning about this.
"The people of Qin are not all arrogant and unreasonable people. As long as the clan elders explain the reasons, how can they deny it?"
Li Ran immediately asked.
Unexpectedly, the elder just sneered and then said:
"Hmph! What the heck do you guys know? The people of Qin are all old people of Shang and Zhou Dynasty, and heirs of Wu Geng. They also belong to Xirong, and they are a well-known nation of tigers and wolves among other countries. You want to reason with them? Haha, then
What a big joke."
"Yes, yes, the people of Qin are so brutally tight!"
"Li Ran, you are so young, don't talk about these things anymore, go down."
The clan elders who sold medicinal materials all booed and ridiculed Li Ran.
"I..."
Li Ran almost couldn't help but "go crazy" at that time.
Qin deserves to be the last to dominate the world. Are your brains worthy of being compared with the people of Qin?
They are now dominating Xirong, and their national power is growing day by day. In the end, the whole world will belong to the Qin people. Are you the only ones sitting here watching the sky and looking down on others?
Are the people of Qin called barbaric? They clearly have strong folk customs!
"Shut up!"
At this moment, Ji Xian shouted loudly again, his sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and the hall fell silent.
"Everything will be done as Ziming said. If anyone dares to make me unhappy at this time, I will be the first to spare him!"
When Ji Xian's words fell, the clan elders who opposed Li Ran suddenly lost their temper. Even Zhu Niu had to take a deep breath, and then moved his eyes to his feet, not daring to look directly at Ji Xian again. p>
Everyone knows that once Ji Xian decides something, there is no possibility of changing it. Moreover, Ji Xian has made his words so clear that no one dares to touch his bad luck again, so everyone is speechless.
On fire.
"Go down and get ready."
After everyone agreed in unison, they had no choice but to retreat with slander.
"Ziming, please stay here for a while."
Ji first stopped Li Ran alone.
After everyone left, he looked at Li Ran with a frown and said:
"Ziming, you said you also know medical skills?"
"Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law knows some rudimentary medical skills. Although I can't say that he can definitely cure this disease, he can still be of some help."
