Chapter 170: Mediation of Conflicts
"So what do you think we should do now?" Wang Haoran didn't expect this Ma County Order to admit guilt so easily, the bad official should try his best to shirk responsibility, right?
"This ......" Ma Xianling was embarrassed, and said ashamedly: "Although this matter was done by the lower officials, but the situation has developed to this point, and the lower officials ...... The lower officials also had no way to deal with it. The villagers of Yong'an Village www.biquge.info have already obtained the land deed, and if they are asked to hand over what they have gotten in their hands, it will be no different from robbing them of their property. Even if they paid for the purchase, if they only paid for labor, they would definitely not want to, because when the waterway was built, the value of those fields would definitely be more than that. ”
"It's something you made up yourself, you can't wait for someone to clean up the aftermath, can you? Anyway, Ma County makes you rich, so you can simply buy half of the fields that have been cleared out of the wasteland and give it to the villagers of Yonglu Village, as for the labor costs, the villagers of Yonglu Village have made great contributions to me, so I will pay this money for them. "Wang Haoran doesn't know the details of Ma County's order, and it is just a guess to say that Ma County's order is rich, if he is not rich in wealth and does not receive fame and fortune, then what kind of bad official is it?
"Master Ma, I don't know what the villagers of Yonglu Village told you, although the lower official used his position to announce his personal vendetta, but the lower official is by no means a corrupt official, and he has little money left in his family, so he really can't afford to pay the field money, and please keep an eye on it, don't listen to the words of the family."
"Alright, then I'll hear what you have to say."
Speaking of which, the grievances between Yong'an Village and Yonglu Village have a long history, and there were quite disputes in the previous dynasty, but there were not many disputes at that time, but after several natural disasters, the more fields were affected, and after several exchanges between the two villages, due to the disunity of the people of Yong'an Village, they were all defeated, and Yonglu Village seized a lot of fields. At that time, it was a time of war, and the imperial court had no time to take care of such trivial matters, and the villagers of Yong'an Village had nowhere to redress their grievances, so they could only admit it. At that time, Xiaguan's family was also suffering from hunger and cold, and in order to make a living, Xiaguan left his hometown and followed the Tang army to revolt. After the Tang Dynasty pacified the world, Xia Guan accompanied the army to conquer Nanzhao in the south, Tubo in the west, and the Turks in the north, and made great achievements. It wasn't until a few years ago that he returned to his hometown, but when he returned home, he learned that his father died of famine more than ten years ago, and his brother was also crippled in the fight with Yonglu Village. Master Horse, do you know what the mood of the lower official was at that time? Xia Guan really wanted to take the officials to copy Yonglu Village to the bottom at that time! However, Xiaguan still held back, because Xiaguan was an official of the imperial court, and what needed to be taken into account was no longer the interests of a family, nor the interests of a village, but the interests of the entire Shunchang County. However, this hatred has not been put down, until this time the court built water conservancy to encourage the development of wasteland, the lower officials thought about punishing Yonglu Village, anyway, now the people are not so short of food, and the punishment will not cause death, which made the hatred blindfolded for a while, and withheld the announcement issued by the court, so that the villagers of Yongan Village first opened up the wasteland and grabbed the land, and then tried to delay the time, until the villagers of Yongan Village got the land deed, then this matter was basically a certainty. It's just that the lower official didn't expect that the villagers of Yonglu Village would still have a way to invite you over, to be honest, when the official heard that you were here, he was a little relieved, and what could he do if he took revenge on Yonglu Village? The anger in my heart is gone, but it adds to the guilt! When is the time for retribution, and who is the winner in the result of these two villages fighting for so many years? ”
Ma Xianling's words, Wang Haoran basically believed it, because when Ma Xianling said that he was angry, his eyes could almost spark sparks; When it comes to misery, it is two tears in my eyes; When it came to revenge on Yonglu Village, he had a happy expression, and finally a face of repentance. It seems that the knot in the heart of this Ma County Order is very deep, and it has forced the Ma County Order to be a little nervous.
"What the lower official said is true, if the master doesn't believe it, you can call the people from Yonglu Village to come and confront him." Seeing that Wang Haoran was silent for a long time, Ma Xian Ling thought that Wang Haoran didn't believe what he said.
"What Ma Xianling said, I will naturally find out, if it is true, I will naturally think of a proper solution to the dispute between the two villages. Go back now, and I'll send you if anything. Although Wang Haoran believed the words of Ma County's order, out of caution, it was still necessary to investigate.
"Thank you, Master Pony!" Ma Xianling stood up and saluted, "In the past few days, the lower officials will live in the hometown of Yong'an Village, and if there is anything wrong with the horse master, the lower officials can come with the rumors." ”
After Ma Xian Ling left, Wang Haoran asked the patriarch to come in. In the face of Wang Haoran's questioning, the patriarch did not dare to hide it anymore, and confirmed the rhetoric of Ma County's order one by one. And the person of the Ma County Order, Wang Haoran also asked Chang Lekang to go to the county seat to investigate, he is an honest official and has a good reputation, so it seems that this Ma County Order is still trustworthy.
It wasn't until the evening that the research team led by Chen Jun studied the various data of the Eucommia ulmoides tree, and Wang Haoran calculated it and found that if he wanted to make a considerable number of Eucommia ulmoides gum products, the Eucommia ulmoides tree had to be planted in a large area.
The next day, Wang Haoran chose a relatively flat and wide place between the two villages, and asked the Ma County Linghe patriarch to call the villagers of the two villages over.
When the villagers were almost there, Wang Haoran walked to the higher mound and shouted: "Fellow villagers, I think everyone can guess the purpose of my calling you this time, yes, it is to settle the dispute between your two villages for many years." In recent years, the grain output of our Datang has doubled, and the imperial court has introduced a policy of building water conservancy and encouraging land reclamation. This is also the case, when we can't eat enough and are hungry, it is a good day to be able to eat enough. But are you still just trying to get enough to eat? Have you ever thought about whether you can save some money to go to school for your children in the future, or repair a leaky house, or even build a new building? ”
Wang Haoran glanced at everyone, saw that they were all listening carefully, and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has thought about this, so what do you think can do to make yourself have some money on hand?" Do you sell grain in a variety of fields? Let me give you an analysis, five years ago, the price of rice was about 15 yuan per bucket, but now it is less than 8 yuan. In the second half of this year, rice seeds with a yield of three stones per mu will be popularized, do you think the price of rice will fall to five or six cents by then? ”
As soon as Wang Haoran's words fell, everyone became a little commotionous and discussed, and the biggest movement was the group of people in Yong'an Village.
"Judging from this ratio, it is really possible to fall to five or six cents!"
"It's going to fall! I'm also going to sell a variety of grain to make some money, so I might as well go up the mountain and chop wood to sell it! ”
……
"Five or six dollars for a bucket of rice, don't you think it's worth it?" Wang Haoran said with a smile, "As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and if there are more, they are not worth much." Let's just talk about this rice, in another year or two, every household will be full of grain, especially the rich people, not many people buy it, and after a long time, it will become moldy and cheap, what do you say? Price reduction again! If you can't sell it for five cents, then you can sell it for four cents! Sanmon! In this way, folks, what will happen to the surplus food in your family at that time? Sell it for a bucket of three pennies? Or is it used to raise chickens? ”
