I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 5 Lightly Take the Meal Ticket

Li Ran spoke on the spur of the moment, but couldn't hold back anymore.

Just listen to him continue to talk with eloquence:

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people can win the world! This is the ancient way! Jie Zhou loses virtue, even if he is a martial artist, what is the use? King Wu's defeat of Zhou is an act of justice. What is a righteous act? To win the hearts of the people! Therefore, the foundation of hegemony is tied to Min Ye!"

"The one who divides the feudal land is the one who guards the frontier. The people work for the king, so the one who divides the feudalism is to support the people for the king. The virtuous king will submit, and the people will be safe if he submits. However, today's public office does not have power outside the palace, which is not beneficial. How can paying tribute benefit the common people? Since the people don’t know the ruler, how can the ruler control the people?”

What he said are all facts.

Since the 12th year of Duke Xiang of Lu, the Sanhuan "twelve divided its citizens, the three families got seven, and the public got five. Not all the citizens belonged to the public, and the public house was already humble.

"Therefore, it is difficult to be strong in a state where the people are uneasy!"

After Li Ran finished spraying the disadvantages of enfeoffment, he then turned to attack the monarchy. In fact, it is the same problem:
"If you talk about the power of the king, the power of the king is also tied to the people! Maybe you don't hear that 'Jie Ke has a marriage to lose his country, and Zhou conquers the Eastern Barbarians and dies'? You don't know the pain of laboring the people, controlling the people endlessly, and even The death of the body and the destruction of the country are all faults of the dictatorship!"

Therefore, after skipping the entanglement at the institutional level, these problems can be easily normalized, that is:

"Without the common people, how can the country be established?"

The common people are the root of everything.

If there is no country to establish, how can there be any rights?

In other words, the people are the foundation of a country's prosperity.

In the current world, whether it is the enfeoffment system or the Zhang Gongshi, both fail to put the people's vital interests at the forefront, which leads to the extreme squeeze on the living space of the common people.

When everyone thought about it like this, they instantly felt horrified.Because they found that they couldn't refute the question Li Ran raised.

Does the monarch need common people?

Of course.

Do princes need common people?

still need.

Do you need common people?

still need.

So whether it is enfeoffment or monarchy, have the interests of the common people been taken into account?

No.

So everything came to light.

Whether it is the enfeoffment system or the monarchy, it is not advisable until the problem of the survival of the common people cannot be solved.None of them can become a system that should be respected and advocated in the current era.

After a verbal battle, Li Ran suddenly felt that the back of his neck was a little chilly, which seemed to be something wrong.

What he didn't know was that after he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the meeting would of course be wrong.

Although these people were shocked by Li Ran's land issue and his statement, in the final analysis, Li Ran's words touched the vested interests of everyone present, because they are all people with status!
Having a status means that they are landowners.

Instead of speaking for them, Li Ran spoke for the common people under them. Instead of considering their interests, he considered for their slaves. He even called it the common people who are the root of everything. Nobles, against all those in power? !
What is it called?This is called a reactionary!
"Okay! It's really good!"

Just when Li Ran felt something was wrong, Prince Ye suddenly cheered for Li Ran.

The Crown Prince of Lu Kingdom, Ji Ye, has the highest status among the people present.

At the same time, apart from Shusun Bao, the person Li Ran was most likely to offend with his words.

I saw Prince Ye walking over from the corner, his originally gentle face became very serious at this moment, his starry eyes were like hooks.

"This old man won't become angry from embarrassment, will he?"

Li Ran thought that Prince Ye had been poked at a sore spot and was going to attack him, so he subconsciously took half a step back.

"Hehe, the prince will definitely make this guy look good!"

"This is what happens to nonsense!"

"Dare to talk nonsense here, is this Li Ziming tired of working?"

Many people are waiting for a good show to be staged.

But the next second, they were stunned.

I saw Prince Ye slowly approaching Li Ran, bowing respectfully to Li Ran so seriously that he couldn't be more serious.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have been flattered. After all, Prince Ye is the prince of the Lu Kingdom. In an era when the hierarchy is so strict, it is extremely unusual for him to greet an ordinary person with this status.

But Li Ran was not flattered, because he felt a sense of familiarity from Prince Ye's serious face.

This was very strange, he was sure that this was the first time he saw Prince Ye, but this familiar feeling just lingered in his heart like this, lingering and very clear.

Yes.

Prince Jin.

At this moment, standing in front of him and respectful to him, Ji Ye, the Crown Prince of Lu State, was very much like Ji Jin, the Crown Prince of the Zhou royal family.

Both of them are so gentle and elegant, both are so open-minded and eager to learn, and they are both respectful and courteous when treating learned people, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

But Li Ran knew in his heart that Prince Jin was dead, and he wanted to uphold his legacy and continue to survive in this world.

The Prince Ye in front of him is not Prince Jin, but similar.

He frowned and wanted to ask Prince Ye what he meant, but before he opened his mouth, Prince Ye said:
"I heard brother Ziming's words today, and I can be said to be overwhelmed. I asked brother Ziming to move forward. I still want to teach in person in private."

Li Ran, who originally only felt chills on his back, was a little confused when he heard Tai Ziye calling him to move.

Is this to invite yourself to dinner or what?

Has the news of Zhou Wangji reached the Duke of Lu?
When Li Ran was wondering what Prince Ye meant, Uncle Sun Bao came over with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, what does the prince mean by this?"

"Ziming came to the gathering today, he is a distinguished guest of this humble official. If you want to invite, you should also be invited by this humble official. How dare you bother the crown prince."

With that said, Shusun Bao looked at Li Ran and said:
"If Ziming doesn't dislike it, please go to the mansion to talk about it."

Prince Ye obviously didn't like this Shusunbao who came out halfway to snatch people, but after all, Shusunbao was one of the three Huan, and he knew Shusunbao's energy, so although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't have much to say.

He looked at Li Ran and said:

"I wonder how long Brother Ziming will stay in Qufu?"

At this time, Li Ran realized that his meal ticket had arrived!

The two people in front of them seemed to sincerely invite themselves to be guests. Aren't these two thick thighs? !

Hold on to your thighs!Get rich!
The eight-character mantra shone in his heart.

So he heard the words and immediately responded casually:

"Since it is a tour, it is necessary to have a good taste of Qufu's customs. I think I will not leave in a short time."

"Since that's the case, Yegai will come to ask for advice again."

When Prince Ye heard that Li Ran would stay in Qufu for a while, he stopped demanding and went with Uncle Sun Bao.

At this time, Shusun Bao lowered his voice and said to the prince:

"Now that the emperor is newly mourned, the crown prince has not yet succeeded to the throne, everything is still unknown, the prince should be more careful! Everything should be cautious in words and deeds."

Only Prince Ye and Li Ran could hear these words. At first, Li Ran thought that this kind of "lesson" meant that Shusun Bao did not dare to speak to Prince Ye, the future king of Lu, because of his status as a powerful man. Talk too loudly in front of you.

But when he saw Prince Ye's expression, he realized that he guessed wrong.

Hearing this, Prince Ye frowned first, his eyes were slightly dissatisfied, but then he subconsciously nodded.

The dignified prince of the Lu Kingdom has accepted this "lesson" from Uncle Sunbao openly!
How can this be a lesson?This is clearly a warning!

It can be seen that Shusun Bao has little relationship with Prince Ye.

As a man of science and technology, Li Ran is very aware of such subtle changes.

"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, everyone, let's go."

Uncle Sunbao was extremely excited at this time, because he found that he had picked up a treasure, that is Li Ran, and immediately wanted to invite Li Ran to his home as a guest to ask for advice in private.

When everyone heard this, they immediately got up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a cold scolding sound suddenly came from the entrance of the assembly.

"Wait a minute!"

Then, Li Ran followed the voice, and saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walking slowly with a dozen servants who looked like servants.

"Jisun Yiru, what is he doing here?"

Shusun Bao frowned slightly, apparently a bit unimpressed by this unexpected guest.

Ji Sun Yiru, Ji's family name, Yiru.The grandson of Ji Wuzi is also called Ji Pingzi by later generations.

The most powerful Ji clan among the three Huan of Lu Kingdom also appeared!
