172. What does it matter if you are alone

In the evening, Qi Feng came with Wu Qiang, a guerrilla general from Hengzhou.

Yuan Rui hurriedly gave a salute, in fact, the two were of similar grades, although there was a difference in civil and military affairs, but in terms of relationship, Yuan Rui, the magistrate, was a subordinate.

Of course, Yuan Rui took a small advantage, that is, the grade of the fifth grade, if it was an ordinary county official, it would be a seventh grade, and he would be a real subordinate in the face of an official like a guerrilla general.

But Wu Qiang didn't think so, not to mention that Yuan Rui, the magistrate of the county, was the husband of the county lord and had super treatment.

Let's just say that Wei Guogong is in charge of so many troops, strictly speaking, he is still a subordinate of Wei Guogong's subordinates, and it is not wrong to be low-key.

Yuan Rui actually disapproves of letting Tuan Ding and arrest these people to intervene, now is a sensitive period, if it is not done well, the conflict will be further expanded, and it will not be good to really provoke the people.

But since the government came to help me with kindness, I still have to thank you, as for whether you use it or not, it's your own business, just arrange it.

But there is one thing to do before going over, first to pacify the Han people, and the most difficult thing is actually a small part of them.

For them, Yuan Rui also has his own countermeasures, these people are not bad people, but they have a disagreement about the relationship between Han and Miao.

If the Miao people are regarded as enemies of the Han people and as robbers who come to rob the land, this concept will always exist.

Therefore, if you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you must let the Han people treat the Miao people as people like themselves.

Of course, first of all, Yuan Rui sincerely thanked Wu Qiang, and people can come to really give face.

Also, maybe the situation is really bad, and they can at least prevent the situation from escalating.

They dare not say anything else, and it is still possible to ensure the basic security of the county.

He knew that those Miao people were really ruthless, and he was not soft at all when he killed the Han people.

On this morning, Yuan Rui summoned Li Zheng and many clan elders from the nearby Han village of Shili and Eight Villages to Huang Yangsi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Yuan Rui, the magistrate of the county, I just came here not long ago, and I want to talk to you about it."

"First of all, I want to know, what do you think is bad about the Miao people for so many years?"

Looking at the people who were a lot older, they hesitated and didn't dare to say more, Yuan Rui added.

"Don't worry, don't worry, rest assured and boldly say, I don't have the habit of finding accounts with everyone, and I'm not an official who comes and leaves."

"Lord County, what about the Miao people, don't know the etiquette, I often can't make sense with them, for example, how to exchange the good goods, but when I get to the place, they have to say what the price is, where and how to change, we don't listen to reason."

"Lord County, the Miao people over there often go down the mountain to steal our grain, and they don't admit it if they are caught."

"Lord County, they still don't let us go up the mountain, saying that everything on the mountain is theirs, and if you want to take things down from the mountain, you must exchange it for food, which is too unreasonable!"

......

As soon as the conversation box opened, all the old people complained about their bitterness, and after a while, several pieces of paper were finished.

Yuan Rui took a look at it a little, and had a score in his heart, fortunately, it was all in his expectations.

"Okay, then I'll ask again, if you drive all the Miao people away, are you willing to go to their place!"

"Needless to say, you can plant paddy fields, tea gardens, are you willing to plant?"

The old men didn't react at once, and after thinking about it carefully, they all shook their heads. There are enough paddy fields under the mountain to grow, enough grain to eat, and it is not easy to grow tea in the tea garden, so there is no need.

"If I can solve all the problems of the Miao people you said, can you guarantee that as long as the Miao people don't do it, you won't do it, and you will take care of the future generations in the village!"

After hearing this, those Li Zhenghe clan elders were all stunned!

Here, Yuan Rui had just solved the problem of the Han people, and Hu Xiancheng, who had been here for several days, came over with a smile on his face to report the news.

"County Zun, good news, good news, people from Ji Po Village are here, they accept County Zun's proposal, and are willing to come down the mountain to talk to County Zun about their difficult situation." Hu Xiancheng explained euphemistically, and it is estimated that he did not dare to say the original words.

"Hu Xiancheng, I haven't encountered this kind of thing before, how do you think we should deal with it."

"County Zun, this, according to the previous practice, just find a place here or nearby, and let them talk."

"Hu Xiancheng, did you do this every time before?" Yuan Rui's face was expressionless.

"County Honor, yes, every time we have such a fight, we will mediate according to this rule in the end."

"Hu Xiancheng, I heard that the great elder of Ji Po Village is already very old, and it is not appropriate for him to run up and down the mountain like this, otherwise, let's go up the mountain and visit the great elder directly!"

"Up..... Go up the mountain, county, this, it's not good, besides, they won't let us go up the mountain. ”

Hu Xiancheng is stunned, this county does not play cards according to the rules, want to play a game, so dangerous, go up the mountain!

"Hu Xiancheng, it's okay, I believe that the Great Elder has a compassionate heart, and he is still very relieved for a few of us!"

"County Zun, how many people? Just a few people? Hu Xiancheng couldn't believe his ears.

"I thought about it for a while, I, you, Qi patrol, plus two entourages, is enough, besides, what's the matter, as long as we think it's okay, no one else can say anything?"

"I, I, no problem, I will definitely accompany the county on this trip!" Hu Xiancheng finally relented.

The next day, everyone rode from Huang Yangsi and came to the foot of Jipozhai Mountain in just one hour.

"County Zun, you can't ride a horse when you go up from here, if you have to go up, you can get there in about half an hour."

Hu Xiancheng did come before, but at that time, he was still a little bold, now, hehe!

"Okay, let's go, Qi Feng, a few of them don't have to follow, stay at the foot of the mountain to watch the horses!"

Yuan Rui pointed to the five guards who had been inseparable since more than ten days ago, and now they have become followers, and they can't be driven away no matter how much they can't get rid of them.

"Okay, you guys stay, there's no need to go up all."

Seeing that a few people were reluctant, he followed and said, and suddenly became quieter, "Stupid, you stay at the bottom of the mountain, if there is a problem above, hurry up and find rescuers." ”

When the leading guards heard Qi Feng's words, they immediately understood, and they all went up, in case something happened and was served in a pot, they didn't even report the news, so they quickly nodded and agreed.

Yuan Rui and Qi Feng walked in front, Hu Xiancheng was in the middle, Fang Rong was behind, and Ah Niu was at the back.

Yuan Rui meant, there was no need for Fang Rong to follow, let him stay in Huang Yangsi to rest for a few days, but Fang Rong didn't do it, he finally had the opportunity to fight, how could he just watch from the sidelines, it was too bad!

This mountain road in Jipo Village is too difficult for a few people to walk, Qi Feng is better, and several other people have not walked such a difficult road.

It's not a simple bump, then at least you can walk, there are a few places in the middle that are only half a body wide, and you have to turn sideways to pass, which scared Yuan Rui, not to mention Fang Rong.

But there is one thing that Yuan Rui particularly likes, and that is the scenery, especially this season.

Along the way, there are not only green mountains and green waters, kingfisher safflowers, but also flowing water in the stream, and squirrels jumping around.

Such a vivid nature is something that Yuan Rui has not experienced for many years, and it is really refreshing.

It is these scenery that dispelled the fear of several people, and also made everyone's fatigue less intense, and the slower pace naturally had more stamina.

For most of the hour, several people finally saw the dawn, climbed the last big step made of stone slabs, and a large gate was erected in front of several people.

Seeing that there were guards in front of the gate and on the gatehouse, Qi Feng stepped forward directly to show his identity.

After hearing Qi Feng's identity, several people muttered for a while, and then ran quickly towards the stockade alone. The remaining few people were still a little nervous standing outside the gate of the village, looking at Yuan Rui and the others, but they didn't mean to let them in.

Yuan Rui didn't care, these Miao people only had the elders and officials in the village in their eyes, and they really didn't have anything to fear.

After waiting for a while, an old man came to the gate of the village with a few people.

"Mao Agon, the official of Jipozhai Township, kowtowed to the county lord and saluted a few adults!" When several people arrived, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Yuan Rui hurriedly leaned down and first helped up the old man in front of him, "Uncle, don't need a big salute, get up!" ”

"The county lord, I didn't know that the county lord arrived, and there was no distance to greet him, and I ask the county lord to forgive me!"

"It's okay, it's okay, old man, we're just walking around at will, just getting here, it's like visiting the Great Elder!"

"The county lord forgives his sins, and he doesn't hide it from the county lord, the great elder and the elder are out, and they are not in the village." The township official had a frightened look on his face, and he really didn't look like he was lying.

Yuan Rui was stunned, really, fake, he really happened to be a coincidence? He glanced at Fang Rong on the side with a slight sideways face, and his heart was a little bottomless, whether people really didn't want to talk to him or what the reason.

Fang Rong shook his head lightly, didn't say anything, the smile on his face showed up a little.

"Grandpa Mao, I said, you're welcome, since the Great Elder is not here, then we will wait in the village for a few days, it's just fine, and it's not bad to taste the delicious food of your village."

Maybe you can't turn around and go down the mountain now, so you have to stay hard.
