At noon, the shopkeeper Lin, who was there to greet his buddies and serve tea, heard the sound of the stairs behind him, and hurriedly turned around to say hello, but saw a young man wearing a half-worn short shirt walking up, this young man was tall and kind, with a smile on his face, and the shopkeeper Lin said angrily:

"The second floor is wrapped, there is no ......"

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, he saw Master Ning walking behind the young man with a smile, Shopkeeper Lin was cold, and immediately knew who this person in front of him was, forced a smile on his face, walked quickly to him, and greeted him one after another:

"Master Li, please here, please here."

Shopkeeper Lin's voice Master Li exited, just now it was noisy as if it was the second floor of the restaurant in the market, and it was immediately silent, Ren was just shouting loudly, arrogant and unreasonable men, at this time they were all good students who seemed to be private schools.

Li Meng looked at the salt merchants and salt lords who were sitting in their seats and were silent, smiled slightly, apologized, and said with a smile:

"Li Meng is late, please forgive me."

He hugged his fists, and everyone who was sitting in a daze stood up one after another as if they had exploded, and the tables, chairs and benches collided, and these people bent down to make a big salute in return, and they all said in a loud voice:

"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Li (Erlang) is too polite......"

It's no wonder that they are so frightened, now the people here are no longer qualified and have no guts, they deserve Li Meng's salute, Li Meng pinched the salt road, and there are thunder means in his hands, no one dares to underestimate it, and anyone who underestimates it is no longer in this seat.

Seeing that Li Meng didn't mean to embarrass himself, the shopkeeper Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and urged the guys below to start serving wine and food.

Jiaozhou City is not far from the sea, so there are a lot of seafood delicacies on this table, but everyone present has no appetite for this delicacy, this is the first time that Li Meng has called everyone after taking office, and everyone has seen Erlang Zhenjun's various methods, who knows what other powerful methods there are this time.

But what Li Meng said, these people can only do it, they really can't afford to offend, the corpses of more than 80 salt dings on the official road have been placed like this for half a month, although it is said that the weather is cold and will not rot, but the road has been broken for a month, or the salt pole sent people to gather the corpses and burn them.

Everyone was really suppressed, this is the toughness of the knife handle, and the money bag is also tightened, the big and small salt dealers found that they only had to buy salt from the salt pole family, and there was no second one in the south of Laizhou, this Li Erlang was not only affectionate and righteous, brave and strategic, but also thoughtful, and he couldn't even leak water in his hands.

According to the rules of the banquet, Li Meng raised his glass twice, both of which were drunk, and everyone also responded one after another, this banquet has some meaning of pleasure for the guests and hosts, Li Meng's wine glass is put down, it stands to reason that it should be eaten with chopsticks, but no one at the banquet will be greedy for this food, they are all looking at Li Meng there, the purpose of this banquet is definitely not just to eat, Li Erlang, you hurry up and get to the point, everyone's hearts are hanging here!

Sure enough, Li Meng stood up again and said in a loud voice:

"There are a lot of distinguished guests today, where are you salt sellers, dare to report where you are, start with the brothers at this table."

"Under the high density!"

"In Hachang-eup!"

"The small one is Anqiu's."

"We belong to Zhucheng."

Everyone gossiped about their own places, some of them were county seats, and some were just small places below, and it was not until the end that it was the turn of the king, Kong and the two salt merchants, these two people were self-conscious, and they thought that they didn't need to stand up to report the name of the place, but they saw Li Meng's eyes sweeping, and his body stood up involuntarily, smiling and clenching his fists and saying:

"Brother is from Qufu, I see you today, and I hope you will take care of you more in the future."

There were all rough men here, and when they saw these two salt merchants pretending to be literati like this, they didn't have much good feelings, but someone whispered and said:

"Qufu's, that's not because Yanzhou Mansion and Jining are very close, they eat Huai salt!"

"These two people have eaten almost half of the salt in Lingshan in the past six or seven years, and they have all been transported to the south by ship, and I don't know who they sold it to?"

Although these words were whispered, Li Meng and Wang Hekong, the two salt merchants standing at the top, could hear them clearly, and Li Meng raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound. The expressions of the two salt merchants were not good-looking, they were blue and white, and after a little quiet, Li Meng raised his hand and pressed it in the air, and suddenly no one spoke in the room, and Li Meng opened his mouth again:

"It seems that it is the brothers in the south of Laizhou Mansion and the east of Qingzhou Mansion, and it seems that Pingdu Prefecture has not arrived, speaking of which, I haven't come to my salt farm to buy salt for more than half a month?"

Listening to Li Meng's self-questioning and self-answering words, someone below responded:

"Master Li, I know about this, Lao Qiu of Pingdu Prefecture went to Yu'er Town to sell salt."

"Who is this brother?"

Seeing Li Meng's inquiry, the man who spoke up stood up flattered, and replied with his fists clenched:

"Back to Lord Li, I am the king of Guting Town, and I am also doing some small business in Pingdu."

Li Meng smiled and asked him to sit down, looked around, and said loudly:

"Calling everyone here today is to tell you one thing, from today onwards, Lingshan salt will be one or two or five dollars a load!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the second floor of the restaurant first quieted down, and after a while, there was a sudden noise, the salt merchants of the Wang family and the Kong family glanced at each other, and they all lowered their heads with a wry smile.

The Wang family and the Kong family in Fengmeng Town, the price that Li Meng gave them was originally raised to one or two or five cents a load, although they were acceptable, but they also engaged in some small means, such as adding a piece of silver somewhere to receive the salt transported by these salt dealers, which was plagiarized from Li Meng's old wisdom back then.

As for the other salt dealers, they all take one or two dollars of salt goods in the Lingshan salt factory, and the risk and freight are deducted from the illegal salt trafficking, if you add the cost of these three coins of silver, the money you make will become less and less, and in some places you may even lose money, but arguing with Li Meng, everyone does not dare.

complained to each other, seeing that Li Meng was still smiling and looking around, Wang Zhuzi consciously put on just now, and was pouted by his companion for a few words, and stood up as soon as his head was hot, as soon as he stood up, the room suddenly quieted down, and all eyes were focused on him.

Wang Zhuzi suddenly felt that the cold sweat on his body was coming out, and he wanted to sit down, but when he looked at Li Meng's eyes, he could only bow respectfully, and then said tremblingly:

"Master Li, I took the salt here from your old man, and went back to Guting Town to sell it, at most it was sold for one or two or six dollars of silver, and many times it couldn't be sold at this price, not our family sold it, everyone was fighting fiercely, you see, can you ...... it?"
