Chapter 386: I'll take care of this idle matter
Such villages are not uncommon in Qi and Song. Meng Ge thought that it would be good to make the imperial court pay attention to such a place.
At the junction of the two countries, if such a village exists, I am afraid that it will become a hidden danger.
Funanzhou is located in the central plains, and although it does not have borders with foreign countries, it is full of large mountain ranges, and the neglected mountain people may be able to form an army.
These people, who should have been protected by the imperial court, if one of them is not careful, they may become a gang of bandits that cannot be exterminated.
She let go of the captured kid, let Meng Mao and the other two people who were to be knocked down help them up, and said, "If I can help you solve this matter, can you tell me what to do about this way?"
This place is not far from Jinhe County, let the kid at the bottom hurry up, and he can arrive in three days.
In other words, she was able to give it to her within a week. But she didn't want these people to take it for granted.
Otherwise, if such a thing spreads, other places will have to follow suit.
Who knows if those people will meet someone like her. Maybe the people who are calculated will also put charges on them, and it will be miserable if they are suppressed in the end.
So Mongo intends to let them bear the consequences of this incident themselves.
For example, Ruth had to fix it by themselves, the loss of the goods that were trapped in the cry, or the repair of the broken cars, and so on.
Those people looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer. Even if the weather has been smooth in the past two years, they have never been hungry again.
But they only harvested some dryland crops. The fields that were originally well served were somehow flooded every year, and they haven't been able to harvest some rice properly for several years.
Such a dilemma is not a big deal. The only thing that makes them dissatisfied is that they have been personally collected by someone who has collected their taxes over the years.
"They collect our taxes, but they tell us that we are not anywhere. Tell me, is there such a reason? We people in the mountains don't have much money, and we didn't dare to go out of the mountains before the war, so we didn't realize that we had been deceived. A while ago, someone came to the door to urge taxes, and we came out to ask for an explanation, only then did we know that the world had changed its master, and we were exempted from taxes for three years. We want to know who is the person who has come to collect taxes in recent years. A man who seemed to be a tough man muttered.
Let's just say, if the people were not forced to do nothing, how could they do such a thing.
"When did the tax collectors say they would come?"
Besides, in the past few years, Funan Prefecture has been a land that has been released. The officials and strong men there have been troubled by Qin Yi, who will collect taxes?
Could it be that someone from Fubeizhou did it? Who could it be?
People who can brave the wind and waves at this time must have some ability, otherwise they will not be unscrupulous.
The kid who was held by Meng Ge before immediately became energetic when he heard this, and shouted: "It's the day after tomorrow." They said that when the time comes, let each of us prepare the taxes that should be paid, whether it is grain or silver, as long as it can match the number. ”
It was such a coincidence. Meng Ge only thought about it and decided to go and see it for himself. They told them that the village was some distance from here.
It's such a hidden mountain village, they can take the trouble to stretch out their hands, which shows that it is not a good product.
Knowing that Meng Ge wanted to go to their village to meet those people for a while, the eyes of the people led by the man all showed a light of expectation.
But it was just the excitement of that moment. The elder in the crowd asked Meng Ge, "Are you sure you don't plan to take advantage of the fire like those people?"
Meng Ge was stunned when he heard this. All she wanted was to get it done

Clearly, it is doubtful to forget that such enthusiasm is suspicious.
Meng Mao didn't allow others to frame Meng Ge like this, so he said angrily: "A group of people who are not stingy, no wonder they have been cheated for so many years." I~ brother just want to help you, and she also wants to get out of here as soon as possible, so she will take care of this matter. Don't be ignorant of good people. ”
According to him, Meng Ge didn't know what to do, just drove along the newly built mountain road.
Isn't it just a matter of paying some silver, and they are not short of those few taels of silver.
Meng Ge thought that he was really enough, and even began to meddle with things. Since the other party doesn't trust them, it's just to avoid this trouble.
"Is your mountain road really repaired, if I still can't get through after paying the money, maybe I will really cut people. Meng Ge patted himself on the head, then changed his mind and asked.
"Y-won't you go back with us?" the boy asked, nervously grabbing Mongo by the sleeve.
Meng Ge impatiently withdrew his sleeves and said, "Where are you going, I'm in a hurry." Don't you suspect that I'm that kind of person, and it just saves me trouble. ”
The young man was even more panicked when he heard this. From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Meng Ge could help them solve these problems.
"Uncle, you can say something. It's not a way for us to go on like this, those people look like robbers, can we have to fight with them?" the young man didn't care, and looked at the elder pleadingly.
The elder was very worried, looked at the trapped people who were gathered around to watch the commotion, and then looked at Meng Ge and them.
Innocent trapped people are unusually irritable. Knowing that they would encounter such a thing, it was all due to their thoughts, they rushed to ask the young man and his party about it.
"Even if you just stand on the side of the road and stop the car and ask us for tolls, it is better than doing everything else and harming others and yourself. "There are some people who hate iron and steel.
Many of the people who were in a hurry did not count the little money they had. If I had heard what had happened to them again, maybe I would have given more.
Look at what is being done now, it's really a drag. Not to mention the delays, many things that have been agreed upon can be ruined because of this.
Meng Ge thought about it, and he couldn't just leave it alone. Even if she was willing to go around it, she couldn't let these people block here.
Who knows if it will attract criminals.
"I'm in charge of this matter, whether you believe me or not. Anyway, who wants to go to a nearby town and have someone help clear out the cars and goods, and the road has to be filled in with all these people. Meng Ge asked at the shouting crowd.
There are a lot of nosy people these days. Anyway, they don't have to spend their own money, and they are willing to make such a trip.
Who made them impatient?
Someone goes to the town ahead to find someone, and someone begins to settle their own things, or calculate their losses.
The mountain people stared at Meng Ge with bitter faces, fearing that she would instigate people to do something and kill them all.
Meng Ge ignored those people, but borrowed pen and paper from the crowd and wrote a long letter to Shi Qingfeng, asking him to think of a favor.
As the general judgment of Fubei Prefecture, even if he has already handed over to the people who came to answer, this matter can be handled immediately.
After the letter was sent, Meng Ge asked Meng Mao to take someone to the front to find Ding Hatmeng and others.
If you want to spend the night on this road, you have to have something to eat. To tell the truth, she was hungry, so hungry that she didn't have the strength to fight with those mountain people.
Ding Hatmeng rushed over with the convoy again, stopped at the newly built mountain road, and asked Li to hurry up and make some dinner.
