Along the way, Sun Wu became curious again. Seeing that Li Ran had some free time, he couldn't help but ask:

"My husband has been silent since he came out of the farm. I wonder if he has any ideas?"

Li Ran smiled slightly and then said:

"Chang Qing, do you know that these fields are owned by the nobles of Zheng Guo, and these common people are just their tenants?"

Sun Wu naturally knew this.

Nowadays, the princes have enfeoffed the nobles, and the land belongs to the nobles. Gradually, the common people have become tenants of the nobles.

"But what does this mean?"

Sun Wu continued to ask.

Li Ran smiled faintly when he heard the sound, pointed at the fields with a radius of several miles and said:

"Look at these fields, which are close to the mountains and forests. They are winding and stretching. There are no rules at all. There are no farmers working in the fields. They are probably newly cultivated fields that have not yet had time to be fertilized."

"When I was in the Jin State, I once heard my uncle talk about Zichan to the doctor. I heard that he was carrying out land reform in the Zheng State, encouraging farmers to reclaim wasteland and wasteland, but only levying a small amount of tax per mu. Such a measure that benefits the common people is naturally necessary.

It offended the nobles of Zheng Guo a lot."

"You think that the land of the nobles is completely dependent on the cultivation of tenants. Now that the New Deal is being implemented, the tenants go to cultivate wasteland in order to implement the New Deal. Naturally, there are fewer tenants in the noble fiefs, and the income of the nobles is naturally less. Since

So, how can they have a good look towards Zichan?"

After hearing this, Sun Wu couldn't help but nodded, and then asked:

"Could it be that these tenant farmers were bewitched by their masters and sang such songs?"

Zichan's land reform has done nothing but good for the common people. Logically speaking, they should be grateful to Zichan. How could they still sing such songs that curse Zichan?

If it weren't for the nobles who were offended by the property to secretly spread rumors, ridicule and slander the property, why would these tenant farmers be like this?

When Li Ran heard this, he nodded and said:

"Throughout the ages, those in power are most likely to have conflicts with the powerful. Since Zichan wants to safeguard the interests of the office, he must limit the privileges of the powerful. Therefore, Zichan and those powerful people must not be in the same league.

Moreover, such reforms were obvious and seriously damaged the interests of the powerful. Although the powerful did not dare to do anything to his son, privately, they secretly instigated some rumors and slanders to weaken his prestige.

Not possible."

As he said that, Li Ran couldn't help but frown slightly.

When he was in the State of Lu, he had clearly seen the main theme of the contradiction between the rulers and the powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Whether it is the former Crown Prince Ji Ye or the current Marquis of Lu, if they want to take power and safeguard the interests of the office, a series of frictions with the powerful are almost inevitable.

In the final analysis, Shusun Bao's righteousness was that he was willing to tie his own interests with the rights and interests of the public office in order to unite the monarchy and check and balance the Ji family. However, Zichan, as the ruling minister, still upheld this righteousness, which is really commendable.

But what about the other ministers of the Zheng Kingdom? It is naturally impossible for them to act like this. Therefore, as a powerful person against a powerful person, such behavior requires a very strong belief.

Looking at the rumors and rumors of these farmers, it is just like the Ji family wants to worship heaven on behalf of the emperor, and wants Luhou to become their puppet. How similar are their rumors and slanderous actions to the Ji family? They are exactly the same.

.

It can be seen that in the country of Zheng today, the government and the public are also in turmoil.

"Haha, it seems that our trip to Zheng Guo may not be so easy."

"Let's go. You must always be careful in the future and don't allow others to take advantage of you."

As the saying goes, "You will know when the ice is coming when you walk on frost."
