Chapter 49 Gains and Losses
It turns out that the annual income of Mu Patrol Inspection is at most 3,000 taels of silver in the past, why Li Meng has such a high income, it turns out that Mu Inspector has two incomes when he is in office, one is to do some private salt trading by himself, and the other is that after the salt Ding under his subordinates is searched, it is handed over layer by layer, layer by layer, for example, the bottom pawn gets ten yuan, which must be handed over to the leader Qiwen, and the leader will then hand over to Mu Patrol Inspection for four Wen, and the whole is a pyramid of fertilizer.
It's just that it's handed over layer by layer, and it can't form an effective monitoring system at all, so it's layer by layer of deduction and concealment, and Mu Patrol's subordinates are a plate of loose sand, and a large amount of silver money is deducted and greedy by these pawns. This is an extremely inefficient way to make money, while Li Meng's is to control the source, master the channels, make the process simple and direct, and make money extremely efficient.
Knowing that Li Meng could earn more without himself, Master Ning still felt quite lost, how could he show his importance in this way, but after a few days in this yamen of the inspection, Master Ning knew that Li Meng and these people under him were a very united and unbreakable group.
And what shocked Master Ning even more was the combat effectiveness of those salt dings under Li Meng, although Ning Qiangui was a literati, he could still see that these young men were much stronger than those who seemed to be fierce and vicious in the past.
and Li Meng's disposal of the salt field and the salt selling are all simple and effective, compared to the past, they can almost be called perfect, and it is difficult for others to take advantage of the loopholes.
Seeing so much, Ning Qiangui became more and more worried about his situation, he thought about it, if he was of no use to Li Meng, then he would inevitably be driven out in the future, this place with a lot of money and people to protect him was not so easy to find.
However, he didn't expect that Li Meng still admired him very much, almost all the official documents and daily administrative affairs were taken care of by this Master Ning, and they were done in an orderly manner, there was such a person who really saved too much worry, Li Meng was running around in Jiaozhou City, Fengmeng Town, Lingshan Salt Field and Lingshan Guard every day, grasping military training and production.
One side was apprehensive, the other side felt appreciative, Li Meng quickly added monthly money to Ning Qiangui, but this Master Ning was greatly moved, thinking that Master Li Meng had a lot of money, and he was even more desperate, and he was determined to come up with something real to repay the other party.
Now Li Meng is practicing salt ding outside the city, the training of the queue and physical fitness remains the same, plus the content of the sparring, the salt ding is divided into two teams, forming a formation to fight each other, Ma Gang came up with a very good idea, that is, to hire children in the city to take soil and wooden sticks to throw at the marching salt Ding queue.
Anyone who moves in chaos and recklessly is punished heavily, which can be regarded as an adaptive exercise for long-range weapons, and I don't know how effective it is in actual combat, but there are many people who have been smashed and bruised.
"My lord, the student has something to report here!"
It will be almost half a month to return to the inspection yamen, and Master Ning can basically only see Li Meng at breakfast and dinner, and Li Meng is either training salt outside the city, or running around in Fengmeng Town and various health offices, checking the production and sales of salt. I was very reluctant to go down again.
Therefore, when Master Ning was planning for Mu Inspection, he often felt disdainful, what future could such a nouveau riche have, but now Li Meng is working so hard every day, but Master Ning also can't understand, sitting in this position, not enjoying it at all, running around every day, what is this.
Seeing that the clothes Li Meng was wearing were also ordinary clothes, most of them were half-old, he rarely drank alcohol every day, and he didn't see any women around.
"Lao Ning? Lately, it is! ”
Li Meng's voice sounded in the room, Ning Qiangui smiled, thinking that this master was a little too peaceful, and these people who inspected the yamen never talked about any official authority, but they were strict with the salt dings, and they didn't smile, and there were really a lot of strange places, so he pushed the door in at the moment.
The place that was originally the study has been turned into a canteen, Li Meng and Chen Liuzi, Wang Hai is having lunch there, this meal is also very simple, a basket of white flour steamed cakes (steamed buns), a pot of roast mutton, a pot of roast pork, to the thick oil red sauce, burned to the sparse. There was no difference between the few people sitting there, they were all there to chew.
Seeing Ning Qiangui come in, Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai both stood up with a smile and said hello, Master Ning knew that these two were Li Meng's henchmen, and he also greeted with a smile, although the days with these people were very short, but with those salt leaders in the past, Zhao, Chen, Wang, and Ma must have been a little less polite, but they were a lot more sincere, which made people feel very comfortable.
Li Meng held a steamed bun in his hand, and greeted with a smile:
"Lao Ning, have you used lunch, sit down and add a pair of chopsticks, sit down and say, sit down and say."
Ning Qiangui smiled bitterly, hugged his fists, sat opposite Li Meng, and said:
"Thank you for the kindness of the inspector, the banquet in Shaohailou has been booked, and the deposit has been paid.
Li Meng nodded, turned his head and asked Wang Hai beside him:
"Did you bring my words to Hou Shan?"
Wang Hai was still chewing something in his mouth, and replied vaguely:
"I already said it the day before yesterday, and when I went there yesterday, I saw Hou Shan leading a few people to be busy."
The assigned things have already been finished, Li Meng and they let Master Ning and start eating again, Ning Qiangui should either eat with everyone at this time, or he should get up and say goodbye, Master Ning hesitated and said:
"Master Li, there are two directions for the illegal salt to be seized by our inspection yamen, one is the Lingshan salt field and the salt field by the sea, and the other is the salt from Haicang and Yu'er Town, which are close to the capital of Laizhou.
"Oh?"
