Magistrate Gu did what he said, saying he wanted to break Ma Meng's leg, which really broke his leg. He was only in prison for many days, but he could not find the evidence of the person who embezzled Tao's goods back then, so he had to release it.

Yifu and Yigu got off the ferry and returned to Zhuangzi. He saw a group of young men carrying flags, carrying gongs, and leaving Zhuangzi. Ma Meng shouted loudly from behind: "Lu Dalang, where are you taking people? I'll come back from the county and hold a banquet quickly!"

Lu Dalang turned around and saw that it was Ma Meng. He hurried over to greet him and said, "Master, we are on a job today. We can't stay in the village, so we should find someone else to work. We will come back until we come back in the evening and congratulate theMaster."

Ma Mengqi said: "What are you doing? We are always in charge of the rules, we just pay money and there are no servants."

Lu Dalang said: "The great official is not aware that the state has been closest to the nearest farmland in the state, so we sent a delegation to the public. Since the great official was there, the rebuilding of the land has been slapped every day, and there are punishments for going too late. Oh, it's not too early, so we go first."

After saying that, he bowed with his hands and went back to take his people out of the village.

"What a weird thing to do if the people in the village are doing!" Ma Meng muttered, turning around and walking towards the house.

When I entered the house, I saw that there was no more deserted shopkeepers coming and going on every day. Only the people from my own family did some miscellaneous work.

Seeing the owner coming back, Ma Sanpo, who was guarding the door, hurriedly came forward to sing and helped Ma Meng to the yard.

Sitting down on the chair, Ma Meng asked Ma Sanpo: "As soon as I entered the village, I saw Lu Da bringing a lot of young and strong men out of the village, saying that he should be a man. When he returned to his home, it was not as lively as usual. Let me ask you, what's going on?"

Ma Sanpo shook his head: "Master, please don't say that we have been bullied so badly during these days when you are not here. The advisor who lives in the inspection village said that he wanted to reclaim the fields around him, and all the men and women were going out to do their jobs in turn. No matter who was missing, there were inspectors coming to arrest people. He said that reclaiming the fields around him was a matter of benefiting the people. He had money and strength to do anything, and no one could be fooled or blocked. The young and strong people should go out. People who were like us who were not on business trips would have to pay money and grain, and they would not be able to do anything."

Ma Meng was furious when he heard this: "What a lie! My family has been in front of him for many years, and he is the most serious soldier. How can I say I am not a job!"

Ma San broke the news: "The new rules of the new officials, the official officials were abolished, and now everything is in charge of the Jinkongmu, who is in charge of the land. Ding Zhuang from the village was incorporated into the name of the inspection village, and there was only one village clerk who was in charge of Shi Erfuzi, and there were a few stones of rice every month."

Ma Meng's leg was interrupted by Magistrate Gu, and he had become a charlatan. He was most afraid that others would mention this word in front of him. When he heard Shi Erfuzi being on duty, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was like a local emperor in the village and was used to being arrogant and blessed. When he came back this time, he heard everything changed and he couldn't help but tremble in anger.

Of course, Du Zhongxiao would not leave Ma Mengzhuangzi's manpower and material resources to recreate the Ding Zhuang list, so he spread his servants and asked Ding Zhuang to go out to dig ditches and build roads every day. As for those who did not have Ding Zhuang or did not want to serve, they would allocate money and grain, which meant some recruitment law. The recruitment law in Wang Anshi's reform in history was summarized from such practices, and was not inventions at that time.

Of course, the people in Ma Meng's family would not serve. In addition, his family had a large population and he distributed a lot of money and food. At first, he refused to pay, but later he was led by the village leader He Kun to scatter the granary, and he became a follower.

If Ma Meng was at home, these things would not go so smoothly. Organize all the Ding Zhuang in the village, not to mention rebellion or soft confrontation, the government would have no good way. If the servants were assigned to force the villagers to rebel, Du Zhongxiao could not bear the responsibility. The snake could not do without a head, and if Ma Meng was not there, everything would be simple. As long as the rules were set, it would be too late for Ma Meng to organize people to resist again.

After hearing Ma Sanpo talk about the changes in these days, Ma Meng felt dizzy and angry, and his eyes were bulging out. He had worked hard to manage the nest for 10 or 20 years and was destroyed by someone. How could he swallow this breath?

After thinking for a while, Ma Meng said to Ma Sanpo: "That Promoter named Du is not the most good person! A few days ago, I drank in a restaurant and said something bad about him, which made the magistrate angry and broke my leg, and it will not be cured yet. If this revenge is not avenged, it will not be able to relieve my hatred. I never expected that he would come up with these dirty ways and plunder my village. What if he continues like this? He is so unscrupulous, he is nothing more than relying on the soldiers inspecting the village. Even if the villagers are dissatisfied, they cannot do anything to them."

Ma Sanpo said: "We are the only village in this area, and there are some families on the docks, and they are not busy with labor. Isn't it easy to pack up the inspection village? Officials always have to think of a way, otherwise what will happen if this continues."

Ma Meng pondered for a long time and said, "In the past few days, I have consulted with a few old brothers who have gone through to discuss, let them do some cases and find something for the inspection village. Otherwise, if the soldiers from the inspection village are watching, they will not be able to do anything."

Ma Sanpo shook his head repeatedly: "Officials should not do this. Now, unlike in the past, whenever there is a case around, the master He Village will be short of Ding Zhuang, who is all from our village. A few days ago, a merchant was robbed in the Bian River, and many people in the village were beaten. I really couldn't bear it. They caught the people who robbed money and were having a quarrel with the heroes."

Ma Meng was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing and had no idea.

Du Zhongxiao organized young and middle-aged people in the village according to the militia company in his previous life. Their responsibilities were not just to guard the home, but to maintain public order as grassroots forces. When a case occurred around him, the small leader in the inspection took Ding Zhuang to investigate the case, and the punishment for the missed deadline was also on them.

Du Zhongxiao also knew that this was unreasonable, but in extraordinary times, it was very differentiated and divided the people in Mamengzhuang first. Those who were willing to patrol the soldiers were exempted from labor. If there was a lot of money, there would be a lot of money, and there would always be someone to do it.

Ma Meng has a very strong relationship with all kinds of thieves around him. There is always news in the village. Once they are cut off from the Ma family, the information these people have is much more harmful than the government. In less than a month since Ma Meng was imprisoned, the thieves on the Bian River avoided this area far away.

Sitting in the yard, listening to Ma Sanpo talking about the changes in recent times, Ma Meng's face became increasingly ugly. Du Zhongxiao's everything he did was high-sounding, and the government's actions clearly did not give others the opportunity to object. When doing large-scale projects, the government would requisition the surrounding manpower and material resources, and Du Zhongxiao didn't give much money, which was already considered to be sympathetic to the people.

By counting Ding Zhuang, slapping laborers, and taking away the manpower in Mameng Village. Those who are not suitable for service will pay the exemption money and let the families in the village pay for the land reclamation. The only farm on the west bank of the Bian River was also involved in the land reclamation project.

Ma Meng was thinking about how to deal with the government. The manpower in the village was taken away and many things could not be done. Once the crime was committed, the people in his village came to investigate, and the risk increased. He had just been released from prison, and the government was in a tight position and did not dare to do too much.

After thinking for a long time, Ma Meng sighed: "The people will not fight with the officials. I will recover from my injuries at home. I don't believe that this guy can ruin my farm."
