After sorting out the ideas, you can move forward at high speed again, I hope you support Lao Bai, there is a change in the afternoon, thank you

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, this incident reminded Li Meng that this time he made more than 50 taels of silver by selling salt, and Li Meng took it out and let his subordinates purchase it in the entire Fengmeng Town, because during the Chinese New Year, some vendors in Jiaozhou City also came to set up stalls to buy and sell New Year's goods.
Fifty taels of silver can buy a lot of things, when I came over, those wheelbarrows were not enough, so I simply unloaded Ma Gang from the car, I heard that Li Meng was the "Li Erlang" praised by everyone in Fengmeng Town. honestly didn't dare to talk nonsense, just followed Wang Hai.
What pork, cloth, oil and salt, firecrackers, snacks, all kinds of necessities are full, everyone's mood is high, everyone understands, this is Li Meng's New Year's goods for everyone.
After returning to the West Village of the Xue family's thousand households, Li Meng really did not disappoint everyone's excitement, he personally led people to send New Year's goods door to door, in Li Meng's eyes, a few catties of meat or a few feet of meat per family is not a big deal, but in these poor military families, this is a very good gift.
This year, because Li Meng boiled the sea and boiled salt in the village, he hired everyone to work, and some people in the family who joined the salt pole got benefits, and those who didn't did it were also carried with it, and the days were much better.
Naturally, Zhao Neng, Chen Liuzi, Wang Hai and several families, as well as those young people who joined the salt pole, must have more things than others.
Ma Baihu is the last one to go, Ma Baihu and the people in the village do not have much contact, maybe it is because of their own identity, listening to the joyful noise in the village, the old couple thinks that they have nothing to do, so they don't bother to care. Who wants to be quieter and quieter, someone knocks on their door.
Ma Baihu opened the door and saw it, but Li Meng was standing outside the door with a smile, clenching his fists and laughing:
"Li Meng usually takes care of the villagers, and these New Year's goods can be regarded as my gratitude."
While speaking, he handed over two packs of snacks and a piece of pork, which was also a piece of Li Meng's kindness, Ma Baihu squeezed out a smile, thanked him, and took it, he was still worried about his only son in his heart, and he was happy there, but when he was about to close the door, Li Meng said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Master Ma, there are some New Year's goods delivered, there are a lot of New Year's goods."
Ma Baihu was stunned for a moment, but saw Li Meng dodge away, revealing a person behind him, it was Ma Gang, Ma Baihu was very excited, standing there with his beard and eyebrows trembling, and only pointed at Ma Gang and scolded for a long time:
"You unfilial bastard, you still have the face to come back......"
Ma Gang was just about to talk back, when he saw Li Meng turn his head with a cold face and said in a low voice:
"If you kid dare to be disrespectful to your father, I'll kill you!"
Ma Gang was suddenly silent, Mrs. Ma heard the movement outside and came out to see, walked into the yard and immediately saw her son standing at the door, when the mother saw her son who had been worried for a long time, she was naturally very excited, regardless of whether there were outsiders present, she stepped forward to hug Ma Gang and "my son" and cried.
Li Meng watched this scene of comedy, suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, wiped them with his hands, and whispered in his mouth:
"My eyes are blown by the wind."
At the door, Ma Baihu also wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, and when he saw Li Meng standing on the side, his heart was full of gratitude, and he bent down and made a solemn gift to Li Meng from afar, Li Meng shook his hand with a smile, turned around and left......
Every festive season, it is true for people in a foreign land, and it is even more so for Li Meng, who is in a different time and space, but the strong festival atmosphere in the village has diluted his sorrow a lot, and the village where Li Meng is located, because the living standard has been greatly improved in the second half of this year, every household is much better, so the celebration is more warm and grand.
This lively and wealthy scene is naturally seen by the surrounding military villages, and there are also people around them who make money in Li Meng's salt works, and this year's Chinese New Year is also full of laughter, which is really a great example for those who did not participate.
Everyone is thinking that they will participate in the New Year, and the fields of the military households themselves are not enough to plant in these years, and if they don't find some other ways to live, when will this hard life be over, how can there be such a stable way of insurance in the past, how can there be such a benevolent and generous boss.
From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Meng's broken courtyard ushered in waves of New Year's greeting guests, including neighbors around and other villages, some military households are still small flags, and the title of the general flag is hanging.
Zhao Neng simply led the guests to sit in his own house with a little bit of appearance, which can be regarded as solving some trouble for Li Meng, and at the same time, several characters led by salt poles are wondering whether to change Li Meng's house after the year, and now there is no shortage of silver, Li Erlang's residence must always be decent.
In the past two days, Li Meng has been greeted with a smile on his face during the day, and his cheeks are feeling sore, but the attitude that should be made still has to be made, although his strength is enough to be a bully, but what is the use of that, whether it is ancient or modern, he pays attention to harmony and wealth, Li Meng knows that his roots are in these military households, and he has a good relationship with them, and he has a lot of convenience for his actions, not to mention that what he is doing now is illegal.
The price of salt collected by the two salt merchants in Fengmeng Town has risen, and the salt output on their side will increase if there is no accident next year, it seems that this business is getting better and better, but Li Meng has faint worries, as a person from modern times, he naturally knows that if he does not develop, he will retreat.
But the business of boiling salt by the sea will not be much improved, the north eats Changlu salt, the south eats the salt of Lianghuai, the salt in Shandong has always been sold in a narrow way, Li Meng got the news from Hou Shan, Yanzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion have always been in turmoil, Dengzhou has Kong Youde tossed there, Henan and Shaanxi are also not at peace, the roads for buying and selling salt are almost cut off, so there are people who come to Lingshan Salt Farm to buy and sell.
According to Li Meng's historical knowledge, these civil unrest in Shandong should still be put down, so I am afraid that the business of buying and selling illegal salt will still decline, what will be done in the future?
