Chapter 19: The Beginning

During the list, ask for collections, recommendations, comments, and more, I'm late today, thank you

----

Hou Shan's mind is smart, but he is a little distracted at this time, he needs some eyesight to be a middle-aged person, so he naturally recognizes that these people who came with Li Meng this time are the ones from last time, but they are a little different from last time, and there is a faint compelling momentum, which Li Meng is even different. Based on Hou Shan's knowledge, that is, he has only seen such a style and appearance in the official master, but those masters are not as kind as Li Meng.

These people are not simple, Li Meng is not an ordinary person, Hou Shan has this opinion, and he is determined to meet his will in the future, and he is always wrong.

Li Menglian asked twice, and he reacted, and hurriedly replied with a smile:

"The salt dings of the inspection department are one share, the Lingshan salt field is one share, and the villages near the sea are also one share, that is, these people come to sell."

"Who sells the most?"

"There are the most salt farms in Lingshan, and there are a lot of villages combined, but they are all single households, and one person pushes a cart or carries a flat pole to send, and it can't be sold at any price, making some money for oil and salt, and the salters are all set up cards everywhere to send those found private salt to sell, and there are a few powerful and salt stocks, speaking of which, it is really Uncle Li, your salt is the largest, and the quality is good."

Hearing this, Li Meng's heart moved, and he asked with a smile:

"The price given by the Wang Family Salt Stack is also high, right?"

Holding the waist knife in his hand as he spoke, as soon as this sentence was asked, Hou Shan first smiled and nodded, then shivered, turned his head stiffly, looked at the look in Li Meng's eyes that seemed to be smiling, looked at the waist knife on the side, and the salt sellers were all bold and outlaws, although Li Meng has always been gentle, but Hou Shan always felt that there were some more frightening things about Li Meng, and saw Li Meng's hand on the waist knife. Hou Shan couldn't maintain his composure any longer, and knelt on the ground with a plop, pleading:

"The salt stack gave one or two taels of silver, and the little one was blinded by lard, so I hid it, Uncle Li, you ...... You ......"

Seeing Li Meng's hand holding the knife in his hand, Hou Shan was so cold that he was already a little speechless, but he didn't expect Li Meng to tie the knife behind his back, stared at him and smiled:

"I'll let you earn this money, but there is also a condition."

Hou Shan really felt like he had escaped death at this time, and there was still a reason not to agree to what Li Meng said, so he swore without a word.

"Help me find out something......"

However, Li Meng didn't notice that Hou Shan suddenly knelt down for him, and many people had already noticed.

Today's salt sales are very smooth, everyone happily walked around Fengmeng Town, and on the way back, I didn't see anyone, it can really be called a smooth journey.

At the entrance of the village, it was agreed that he would go to Li Meng's house to carry salt at the same time tomorrow, and was about to disperse, but Li Meng stopped everyone and said loudly:

"Tomorrow, don't forget this bamboo, there is another thing, this salt seller also needs capital, brother, my money is almost the same this month, let's still make a share, the money earned in the future is easy to distribute, my brother settles the account, what do you think."

When this sentence came out, everyone was a little embarrassed, Li Meng thought to himself, it was not because he said this too clearly, everyone felt that they couldn't get up and down, and they didn't make a sound, and someone whispered for a long time:

"Isn't this all Big Brother Li's business, let's all follow Brother Li to make some money to spend, and what else to say!"

As soon as someone spoke, everyone else echoed the gossip, and the reason for the silence was this, Li Meng put his heart at ease, and said loudly with a smile:

"Li Menggan's act of violating the king's law is to make everyone's life better, if I get rich alone, and everyone is busy, how can I get by."

The crux of the problem is that these poor people from thousands of households of the Xue family, young people who can't even afford to marry a wife, are often hungry, who has spare money to join this part, the money in the hands of many people is still a few hundred copper coins earned by selling salt in Fengmeng Town today, but Li Meng insisted.

In the end, Li Meng took out eight taels of silver, Zhao Neng and Chen Liuyi one tael, although Wang Hai was a child, he was bold and invested eight hundred yuan, and the result was that Li Meng accounted for seventy percent of the shares, Zhao Neng and Chen Liu each had one share, Wang Hai accounted for five points, and five points were shared equally by everyone.

Other people who participate in the transportation of salt, each time according to the amount of salt, 200 Wen or 500 Wen each time, and the salt they bring is given priority to purchase, this is really a happy distribution, this year, ten Wen can buy two catties of white flour in a good year, how much does this 200 Wen cost a year.

It's just that Zhao Neng felt a loss for Li Meng, and gave him a look again and again, but Li Meng didn't pay attention to it.

Li Meng's life is very regular, the biological clock is quite accurate, even if he travels to this era, he still maintains it, and there is not even a husband and a corona in the Xue family's thousands of households, and he can only judge the time by the rise and fall of the sun, moon and even the tide, which is a particularly unaccustomed thing.

However, the approximate time can still be judged, for example, the fifth watch day is from four o'clock to five o'clock in the morning, and Li Meng can get up in time at this time.

Because he had to get up early to transport salt to Fengmeng Town, Li Meng had already woken up in the fifth watch or so, according to his own estimates, there should be about half an hour before everyone got together, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, he should have said that there is still half an hour to get to the point, this is the algorithm of the Ming Dynasty, an hour is equal to two hours.

Walking into the courtyard, Li Meng picked up a six-foot-long wooden stick and posed, ready to review the techniques of bayonet training in the lower troops.

Speaking of which, Li Meng was just a non-commissioned officer in the army, and the training in cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat he received was very monotonous, which was not as good as those in the special service company and the special brigade.

In terms of fists and feet, there is only military body boxing, and in terms of weapons, it is also the assassination training of this bayonet.

Coming to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Meng knew that it was not possible to have some self-defense skills, and the people he could contact in this guard were all peasants with the names of military households, not to mention that if you want to learn martial arts at this age, I am afraid that it will be too late, so it is better to practice and refine yourself.

Although the day's fighting victory was a great victory, although there was the courage and suddenness of a desperate fight, the opportunity and advantage of this kind of assassination action in the face of the knife and axe were also there.

As soon as Li Meng took the wooden stick and posed, he felt that there was movement outside the door, so he cautiously walked to the door and opened the firewood door.
