Listening to the voice of Wang Hai's kid, Li Meng removed the waist knife by the door, opened the door and walked out, but after going out, he was stunned, looking at more than a dozen people standing outside the broken door that was pushed open, there were those who sold salt that day, and there were those who didn't go, Zhao Neng, Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai stood at the front.

Li Meng couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and said loudly:

"What are you doing standing outside, just come in, this door is open as soon as you push it, don't you have the strength."

This is not a funny joke, but these people outside are all laughing, that is, with this permission, Zhao Neng walked in together.

Li Meng's courtyard was not big, and so many people came in and suddenly seemed a little crowded, but Li Meng felt puzzled and asked:

"Brother Zhao, do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhao Neng smiled awkwardly, hesitated and didn't speak, but Chen Liuzi spoke first, and he said eagerly:

"Brother Li, last time I went to take the salt, I made a fortune, and when I returned home, my mother was very happy, I thought to myself that we would have to do such a good thing a few more times, but this salt inspection is really troublesome, Brother Li is a person with ideas and responsibilities, let's all want Brother Li to get an idea."

These people around him interjected and made a lot of noise, but they all said the same thing:

"When my father saw the silver, his hands trembled."

"My father and mother ate the pork I bought at night, and the old couple shed tears, which is really ......"

Everyone gossiped until the end of the sentence:

"Brother Li, you are the master, and lead everyone to make a fortune selling salt!"

After all, it was also Li Meng's idea to go to Fengmeng Town to sell salt for the first time, Li Meng looked at the dozen or so young people around him who were excited, and thought that he had to persuade himself, but now everyone took the initiative to come to the door, saving effort.

Li Meng laughed and said loudly:

"We all want to live a good life, everyone has taken care of me Li Meng for more than 20 years, and I should repay everyone's kindness."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, everyone laughed along, and Li Meng continued:

"This transaction is not about reaching for money, the risk is not small, you are all people with your father's family background, you have to think clearly."

Although people in this era get married early, but these men in the guard are poor, and those who come to the courtyard are all single, hearing what Li Meng said, Zhao Neng spoke, he and Li Meng have a very close relationship, and they can be regarded as able to speak, came over and patted Li Meng on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"This risk, brothers all know, this is why Li Meng, you take everyone to do it, follow you and everyone rest assured!"

Li Meng suddenly found that he didn't know when, everyone treated themselves with the attitude of a leader, this attitude was given to Zhao Neng in the past, recognizing this situation, and seeing the eager expressions of these people around him, Li Meng's heart was also bottomed, and he said loudly at the moment:

"All the brothers believe in me, and I, Li Meng, will not shirk it, but everyone works in a gang, and we still have to set up a rule."

Everyone's attitude towards Li Meng has changed from convincing to awe, the previous incident of killing Yan Ding has shocked everyone, for the murder of Mu Patrol in Jiaozhou City, everyone has a faint suspicion of making an appointment, thinking of this is even more awe-inspiring, looking at the money earned, thinking about what Li Meng has done, everyone thinks that following Li Menggan will not suffer, and at the same time, he can't disobey him, this person is too strong.

Jiaozhou Inspection Division Mu Patrol died at home because of a strongman's attempt to make money, and the government hastily closed the case.

It's not a big deal if an official of Jiupin dies, it's not a big deal, but it's a trivial matter that King Muyan died, but it's a big deal who owns the official position of this inspection, although this position is said to be the Jiaozhou Inspection Division, but the ground under its jurisdiction is most of the Laizhou Mansion, and there is only the salt transportation envoy in Jinan Mansion This Shangguan, when the time comes, gather hundreds of scoundrels, set up cards to check and seize smuggled salt, and then sell it wantonly, have money and power, and run rampant, this is a first-class fat shortage!

As soon as there is a vacancy here, someone will immediately go to Jinan Mansion to find a salt transportation yamen activity, wanting to win this fat shortage, but don't look at this as a small inspection position, the political envoy, the governor, and the household department have the right to participate in the decision, which also involves all aspects of the game.

Although Shandong Yanzheng is not as good as Lianghuai and Beizhili, but after all, it is a position with oil and water, it is really not easy to decide, but there are too many things in this year, and the various yamen institutions in Shandong are busy quelling the rebellion of Kong Youde in Dengzhou, and mobilizing grain and silver money for the armies of all walks of life, and the Jingshi Imperial Court is busy dealing with the civil unrest in Shaanxi and the Tartars outside the Guan, this little thing is really to postpone the decision, but there are policies and countermeasures are also a thousand-year-old officialdom tradition.

Shandong's salt transport envoy simply ignored it, as long as the Jiaozhou inspection department regularly handed over the silver, which is equivalent to giving those salt lads the right to act on their own, almost on the day when the order arrived in Jiaozhou, the salt lads of the patrol inspection department were immediately divided into more than a dozen gangs, the number of forces varied, don't expect these hooligans to do anything, just a plate of scattered sand, these people went to check the smuggled salt, loot money, but they also fought with each other, and the ground in Jiaozhou was in chaos.

However, these salt dogs who investigate and seize illegal salt are running around, but there is one place that they never check, that is, Fengmeng Town, where salt merchants buy illegal salt from all over the coastal area of Jiaozhou, and then transport it out of Jiaozhou by ship, which is the biggest illegal salt criminal.

But. The salt diners of the Inspection Department are all smuggler salt dealers, and if they investigate this place in Fengmeng Town, who will they sell the salt in their hands, they will not be able to cut off their own money.

On June 21 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, there were a total of seventeen people gathered in Li Meng's broken courtyard, and everyone made a plan to sell illicit salt to improve their lives.

Li Meng determined the leading position in this small group from the beginning through the sale of illicit salt in Fengmeng Town, the killing of salt Ding on the small road, and everyone's vague speculation about the cause of death of Mu Xunjiao, if it is according to the written words, it can be regarded as a small salt lord.

On June 22, Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi scattered to a nearby village near the sea to spread the news, of course, through the old channels of relatives and friends, saying that a load of salt and silver was three or a half of the money, and they would never be deducted.

Half of these thousand households and hundreds of households in the north of the entire Lingshan Guard Station are by the sea, and most of them boil the sea and boil salt to supplement some household use, and their salt is generally sold to the Lingshan Salt Factory, where only three dollars of silver are paid per load, and the people who collect the salt have to endure arrears and deductions.

Hearing that the three coins and five silver were purchased, and it was also introduced by the children of the military households of the Benwei Institute, they were quite excited, but the last time Mu Patrol led people to check, almost the remnants of the salt goods of each family were either copied away, or they were afraid of destroying it, if they started production again, the scattered manual operation of each household The output was not large, and now it is foggy and rainy, which affects the production. Despite the release of the news, it was not until July that he received more than a dozen loads of salt, all of which were paid in advance by Li Meng, which is easy to explain, saying that it was the silver money that was looted from Yanding.
