Chapter 320 Solving Problems
After eating, the two of them burped with satisfaction. Molan called everyone to Mo Quan and Wang's house, and then told them about the road blocking.
After hearing this, Qiu was the first to pick up his mouth and said, "What? Have you been stopped? These people are killing people. It's really a scourge. It's a bad beast, Lan'er, are you all right?
"Mom, I'm fine. I just don't understand. We've only been gone for two months. Why did this happen?" Molan signaled that she was fine, but looking at everyone's expressions, everyone except grandma and dad obviously knew about it.
Mo Changhai looked at the crowd and said, "Let me say it. It's been about a month since this happened. The eighth master they mentioned is from Shangwan Village, where there is a family surnamed Shang. His old man's name is Shang Cai, and he has eight sons and two daughters. The son's name went from Shangda to Shangba. None of these eight people learned well. They are very arrogant, because they have many brothers, and their family is a domineering in their village. No one dares to mess with it. Among them, Shang Liu's brother-in-law is a catcher in our Shangchang Town, so they are even more arrogant. They asked others to call their eight brothers the Eighth Master.
A month ago, Shangchang opened a new shop. This shop specializes in collecting things from us, such as mountain vegetables, mushrooms, pecans, towers, and dried vegetables. They also sent people to various villages to deliver letters and asked them to sell them. They said that the distance was far away, and they also paid the fare, which was a little higher
The things they receive are basically ownerless. Who doesn't want to get more money? They pay the fare again, and the price is higher. Of course, there are more people coming to the door.
As soon as the eight brothers of the Shang family saw such a good thing, they conspired together with some people and began to block the way in the villages at the foot of the mountain in the name of the government. Except for the people they allowed, they did not allow outsiders to go up the mountain. It was okay to go up the mountain. They had to OK.
They have been to the home of the patriarch of each village, and the catcher followed him. He gave some benefits, and the patriarch agreed. They are powerful, and they can't afford to provoke them.
In this way, they will send people to patrol the mountain every day and guard the lower mountain pass. They are afraid that someone will secretly go up the mountain to pick up things and not give them. If they encounter resistance, they will beat people. Anyway, they are bullies, and no one dares to provoke them. In the past month, many people have been injured by them, but they can only scold a few times and admit their bad luck.
Mo Changhai gave a general explanation of the matter, and Mo Lan frowned when he listened to his words.
"Uncle, that shop will definitely have an impact on us by collecting mountain goods like this. Do we harvest more mushrooms and pine nuts this year?" Molan asked in a low voice. In the past, these things were basically in her own house, but I'm afraid it's mysterious this year.
Listening to Mo Lan's question, Qiu's face collapsed. She was responsible for collecting vegetables. She knew it. She said angrily, "There are not many vegetables to sell this year. Basically, they are in our village, and there are also outside, but there are few. What we sell in our village is good for ordinary people, and the rest have been sold to the shops in the town.
What's annoying is that those people sell to others, you can sell it. No one stops them, but they still come to bury our family, saying that the price given by our family is low, that our family is black-hearted, and they only care about making money by themselves. They are all one village and have the face to make their money. I was so angry that I couldn't eat for several days. They didn't think about what they said about us in the past. This mountain is still ours. They picked it up for nothing and took advantage of it and sprayed feces. It's really annoying.
When Qiu mentioned this matter, she exhaled. Obviously, many people in Zhuangzi said unpleasant words in front of her. Molan sighed secretly. People are like this. Before their own shop opened, no one took these, and they were just like that. After receiving it, they all came up to flatter, because they could If you get money for nothing, your life will be better. But now when someone's price is higher than theirs, they go to other houses for a little benefit. Few of them are humane.
Who sent someone to collect these? Mo Lan couldn't help thinking that if she had guessed correctly, she must have been sent by the Xue family in the capital. Xue Lingfeng told himself that he hadn't given the Xue family a new prescription in the capital for a long time. The Xue family was angry, so they sent someone to collect the mountain goods. In the future, they didn't have to rely Yuan, they are not afraid that someone will compete with them.
No way! Let them go on like this, and the road of their own mountain goods is really broken. Besides, they also harm the people in this way, and the money has been earned by the eight bully brothers. Such a trend can't be promoted. I heard from my uncle that they have hurt a lot of honest families, but we can't let them go on like this.
But there are not enough people in my family. Do you want to find Xue Lingfeng? Huh? Molan suddenly flashed, no, that's enough, that's enough. She almost forgot that the old marquis's bodyguards were there. Thirty guards are not more than enough to deal with the eight brothers and one catcher.
When Mo Lan said his thoughts, everyone in the Mo family pondered. The Mo family was a kind person and had the responsibility of a farmer. Generally, they were unwilling to cause trouble and did not want to hurt the harmony.
"Woman, is this okay?" Although Mo Quan also hated those people for being domineering, he used the old marquis's bodyguard to deal with them. He was a little hesitant. Maybe he was old, and he always hoped to be kind.
"Sir, let's not talk about how many mountain goods we need to send to the capital after the shops in the capital are opened. Our family doesn't even have enough in the capital, so we can't use it. Who will sympathize with us when we have nothing to do business?
Besides, the eight bullies do what they do is a scourge. Whoever go up the mountain must be filial to them. Why do they sit and enjoy their success? You have to suppress them, otherwise they will become more and more domineering in the future. The honest people will have to suffer losses. After going up the mountain and picking them up for most of the day, they are as tired as anything. They finally have to recite the things, but they have to give half to others. Who is happy? If you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and things will be robbed. How can there be such a reason in the world? What's the difference between these eight brothers and robbers?
I think about others in my heart, but do others miss us? As soon as someone offered a high price, they immediately sold it. Why do we have to be such bad people like this?
Molan's words fell to the ground, and Qiu first agreed: "What Lan'er said is that I feel unhapproval when I think of what they said. It should be suppressed. Look at them, they are still crazy!"
The rest of the people also nodded and thought it was reasonable.
Molan continued, "I've thought about it. After suppressing those bullies, the mountain is still open. Whoever wants to go up the mountain to pick it up will pick it up. We don't stop it. What they pick up belongs to them. In addition to leaving their own food, the rest must be sold to our family. Since others don' Anyway, if there is someone in the Xue family, they will send someone to guard the town. If anyone sells it to the shop in the town, they will not be allowed to go up the mountain next time.
"Isn't this good? We can't be so domineering. We are all from the countryside. We can't get face. Besides, it's so troublesome. Mo Quan felt a little embarrassed to do so.
"Dad, I think what Lan'er said is reasonable. The mountain is our family. Let them pick it up for nothing, and we don't want it for nothing. We will give as much money as they should. If they sell it to someone else's house again, it will be too unreasonable." Qiu retorted Mo Quan's sentence.
"Yes, what the second daughter-in-law said is reasonable. We all give face to others, but who gives us face? This person has to be seen from both sides. They read our kindness, and we are good. If they don't, they don't want to pay a high price. So why should we look at face?
If this matter doesn't work, just do what the girl Lan said. However, let's not say that this mountain is our family, but that it was bought by Feng'er, and then let Xue Guanke go with us. The Xue family is famous in Shangchang, and their reputation is easy to use.
When it comes to the long river of time, you take people and do the matter. I guess they have to resist. Don't kill people. Good morning. After this time, I'm afraid that no bully can pay such attention again. Slowly form rules. It's good. When the time comes, you let those people go to other houses to sell ." Wang made a sound and patted the board.
"Um, that's what you said. Then let's do it this way. I don't care. Jin'er and I, let's just be shopkeepers. Mo Quan also responded. He is also happy to be quiet, worried about his children and grandchildren, and he enjoys happiness.
"I, I'm enjoying the happiness with my eldest brother." Mo Jin was also happy. In fact, he agreed with Mo Lan and Wang's opinions from the bottom of his heart. He felt that although their methods were a little strict in the village, it was the best way.
"Master, second master, you can't enjoy happiness. You have to come forward if you have something to do. I have to trouble you when the time comes." Molan said with a smile.
"Oh? Do we two old men have to participate? That's right. When the time comes, just say it. Your second master and I will do it for you. Mo Quan answered. He is very happy to contribute to his own affairs, at least it shows that he is not useless.
After a few jokes, everyone began to discuss how to implement the plan. Mo Lan's opinion was to send someone to Xue's house to tell Xue Lingfeng, ask him to send a janistrate, and then send someone to the government office to make it public. In the future, no one in the government office can find trouble behind his back, and .
Then let Mo Changhe lead Bai Dahe's 25 bodyguards and go directly to Shang's house in Shangwan Village. The Qin thief first suppressed the eight brothers of the Shang family, and the people they united would not jump.
Here, Mo Quan and Mo Jin went to the patriarch's house to spread out the matter. Let the patriarch gather the people in the village and tell them that the mountain has been bought by the Xue family. Mo Changhai will also take people to the patriarch to say that the Xue family allows each village to go up the mountain normally, but the income from the mountain must be The family will buy it at a fair price. If it is found to be sold to another family, it will not be allowed to go up the mountain in the future.
