The old Yanding was transferred back to the Jiaozhou camp to station, the new Yanding was recruited and trained, and the procedures for the yamen at all levels were handled, and the green salt was transported to Jining Prefecture for various sales matters, Li Meng's men and horses were all busy, relatively speaking, Li Meng's side was a lot more leisurely. (Literature Reading Network, Reading Network

Every day, he is in Fengmeng Town or Jiaozhou City to practice horse teams and firecrackers, Guo Dong's firecrackers are finally on the track, sixty steps can find the head, ninety steps can hit the bull firecrackers has been built more than 30, this is also because Li Meng's requirements for quality are particularly strict, so the blacksmiths dare not slack off, when the firecrackers are handed over to Li Meng, they have to go through repeated inspections.

In fact, the power of this firearm has not been tested on the battlefield, but the effect is good, at least during the siege of Sanqingguan, the thug raised his hunting bow, a distance of about fifty steps, directly knocked the person off the wall, and after the examination of the body, the lead bullet of the firearm did not hit the heart or the like, but the internal organs of the entire chest cavity have been beaten into a blurred flesh.

Although there was not much stock of saltpeter gunpowder, Li Meng still required each musketeer to shoot a few shots, but he remembered that when he participated in live ammunition shooting in modern times, some recruits were scared enough.

Compared with these busy people, the girl who came back with her, the days are very moist, not to mention the delicious food and drink every day, and under the escort of Yanding, running around everywhere, it seems that everything is very fresh, although Jiaozhou City is a small place, but it does not affect the girl's interest at all.

Fortunately, everyone is always very tolerant of beautiful things, with appearance, ability, and money, which are all outstanding points, and everyone always thinks that they should be high. Be more lenient.

Since the establishment of the Jiaozhou battalion has been determined, General Denglai, who is in charge of this piece of defense and military affairs, must assign the corresponding tasks, although there is already a large battalion outside the city, but Li Meng is still working in the Yanzheng Inspection Yamen in Jiaozhou City. (Reading Network Reading Network official documents and messengers clearly explain one thing after another, most of them are tasks such as appeasing places and guarding against situations and trends in a certain direction.)

However, there was a task that made Li Meng a little interested, saying that the Jiaozhou camp was at the hub of the bay, and it should have the duty to assist Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei in preventing the scourge of pirates.

When this matter was read out by the envoy, Li Meng felt a little funny, but when he saw Chen Liu, Wang Hai and the others around him were all full of solemnity, this is what he remembered. Li Meng, who had been in a coma for nearly twenty years, was mentally abnormal because his parents died at the hands of pirates and were frightened.

After inquiring in detail, I found out that although the rebellion in the southeast was quelled during the Jiajing period. But pirates still exist, and most of the pirates at this time were mainly Ming bandits, and there were still Japanese among them, but most of them were thugs and cannon fodder hired by Han pirates.

These pirates operate in Shandong, Nanzhili, where the coastal defense is weak, robbing passing merchant ships, or going ashore to rob, which makes the coastal government quite a headache, but Denglai has always been a poor place, and even pirates are reluctant to come and rob. The rest of the places have nothing to do with the salt administration, so I haven't known about it.

Since it was mentioned, then take this matter to heart and increase the vigilance in the Yantian Salt Farm.

The literate characters such as the master's tent in the inspection yamen all know that Li Meng's hobby is to read the Di newspaper. Although everyone wonders in their hearts, how can a military household know words, and if you want to know words for entertainment, you don't need to read those notes and the like, but you can look at the boring Di Bao and do it.

But the top likes it, and the people below are naturally welcome. After Li Meng returned to inspect the yamen. Immediately, someone summed up the newspapers of each issue here, and they also thoughtfully divided the paragraphs and sentences.

Li Meng knew that he lacked the ability to synthesize the current situation and useful information in the information. (But you have to keep up with the situation, try to see, and absorb, it will definitely be of some use.)

"Cao Wenzhao died in Gansu ......"

Still here when recalling who Cao Wenzhao was, he heard a sound outside, and the sound of brisk footsteps approached this side, needless to say, it must be Zhou Zhujun - she still hasn't said what her real name is, and the guards in the Yamen Mansion don't know the relationship between this girl and Li Meng, but they know that the two sides are very close, this is a girl, and she is so close, and she is so beautiful, what is the relationship with Lord Li, you still have to respect it.

As a result, the following people were cranky, which caused Zhou Zhujun to be unimpeded in all Li Meng's mansions, and he went there if he wanted to.

When Li Meng was looking at the newspaper and the place of the newspaper, who dared to come over and disturb, that is, this girl, this girl should be about fifteen years old, Li Meng couldn't figure it out, anyway, let Ning Qiangui's mother-in-law lead her to buy a few girls' clothes, who wanted to run around every day, in desperation, she had to buy a few men's clothes to wear, and found a few women from military families to serve, but she was also the appearance of a young lady from a big family.

The girl is very beautiful, but she ran around outside, although those young men of Yanding did not have any blasphemous thoughts, their admiration for Li Meng deepened a lot, you look at our Lord Li Erlang, go out for a walk, and bring back such a beautiful wife, this appearance is not available in Jiaozhou City, no, even Laizhou Mansion may not have it.

This increase in prestige was something Li Meng did not expect.

It was Zhou Zhujun who rushed in, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Li Meng whispering there "Cao Wen's edict was killed in battle...... Li Meng was still pondering here, and the girl over there spoke first:

"Cao Wenzhao, wow, isn't that the most capable general?"

As soon as the girl said this, Li Meng patted his head lightly, and remembered that the thousands of households and commanders of the guard were also reading the newspaper, and the comments in their mouths were different from Li Meng's, and some useful news was often revealed, ** I had said before that the most capable general under Hong Chengchou was Cao Wenzhao, but now his relationship with the girl is between friends and family, and his speech is also a lot more casual, hearing where the girl interjected happily, he couldn't help but look up and ask:

"Even if you go to the Zhizhou Yamen, no one who knows about these things may not have them, how can you know so much about a girl's family."

The girl immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she was familiar with each other, but she was not afraid, she just made a grimace, and came over to check those Di newspapers, every time Li Meng read the Di newspaper, it was Zhou Zhujun's happiest moment, every time she told Li Meng all kinds of allusions in the Di newspaper, the surprise on Li Meng's face always made the girl very happy.

Li Meng didn't bother to pay attention to it, and while looking at the newspaper, he said:

"What kind of conflict does the child have with the family, you are so homesick and don't go back, your parents and brothers don't know what to be in a hurry, it's not a big deal to live with me, you tell me where your home is, it's okay to let someone bring a letter over, it's silent after all."

The girl's family must be in a hurry, Li Meng is not short of a few money to serve the eldest lady, but this matter is always uncomfortable, but this girl can be regarded as capable, the daughter of a rich and noble family ran away alone, and she didn't want to go home outside.

Who would have thought that as soon as the girl heard him say this, as before, her face was immediately pulled down, and she made a look of anger, and threw the newspaper on the table fiercely, turned around and ran out, leaving behind the sentence "I am not a child".

Li Meng shook her head helplessly, this girl's courage is really not small, Li Meng's inspection mansion is full of tigers and wolves with knives and guns, she is not afraid at all.

Just as he was feeling it, a salt ding outside trotted in, and he didn't care about saluting and came directly to Li Meng and said:

"My lord, there is a message from Lao Zhang's gambling house, saying that there are more than 60 people living in the inn on the side of the Xiaobai River in the south of the city, claiming to be businessmen who are going to Dengzhou, but they are all carrying weapons.

"Oh"

Li Meng's eyes narrowed, the Yan Ding who came to report the news was a person who had experienced the battle of slaughtering Jinyiwei that day, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry, Li Meng was also relieved when he spoke, and said coldly:

"I'll write you a note later, you take it and mobilize people to keep an eye on them, don't have the last thing, if it's cold today, I don't want to catch the wind and cold again."

Hearing this, the salt ding nodded understandingly......

The more than 60 people who live in the big car shop on the side of the Xiaobai River carry several boatloads of goods, all of which are specialties of Henan and Shaanxi, and at first glance they are really businessmen, but these people laugh too fakely, and they look like they are hard squeezed, but the owner and the guys of the big car shop will not care about this, as long as they have money to make.

Moreover, the shopkeeper of this big car shop, in order to serve these people well, also specially recruited a few guys temporarily, these guys are busy before and after, and they are really comfortable to serve.

After staying for a few days, these merchants loaded the goods into the cart and wanted to live in Jiaozhou City for a few days, according to these Henan merchants, to see if these goods could be sold in the shops in Jiaozhou City, and they would save themselves from running far away.

On the night of moving into Jiaozhou City, when it got dark, the *** of the residents everywhere was almost extinguished, and more than 30 people cautiously walked out of the inn, and now they are already dressed as city patrol soldiers, holding torches and weapons in their hands.
