Seeing Li Meng looking at himself, Zhou Zhujun stuck out his tongue and said no more, Li Meng had no expression on his face, but he thought that when he returned to Kaifeng, he must send this girl as far away as possible.

The guy in the salt shop had already called a shopkeeper out of the store, and the shopkeeper and Meng En should know each other, although the attitude was also arrogant, he still had a smiling face and a fist to say hello.

The other party didn't mean to invite Li Meng and his party to the store, which is easy to understand, the other party is the property of the vassal king, and it is normal for the shelf to be larger and not close to people.

The two sides of the people found a teahouse nearby, and after Li Meng explained his intentions, the shopkeeper laughed out loud and said:

"Li Yuanwai, in today's situation, how can Shaanxi still have Qingyan, there is a shortage of soldiers over there, don't spend this effort, go back to Shandong as soon as possible!"

This is still Meng En's introduction in advance Li Mengnai is one of the owners of Wenru Commercial Bank, the shopkeeper of Fuwang Salt Shop is still unceremonious, Li Meng's face has not changed, but Zhou Zhujun on the side is a little angry, and he was about to stand up immediately, but he was dragged by Li Meng, the other party said in the wrong tone, but he also told the truth, could it be that this time it was for nothing, but Meng En said politely there:

"It's not easy to come from Shandong this year, and please ask the shopkeeper Wang to help more, if this salt road can be opened, this green salt will go to Luoshui, everyone is not wealthy, and your benefits are indispensable."

Hearing Meng En's polite words, the shopkeeper picked up a cup of tea, pondered there, and said in a half-loud voice:

"Qingyan suddenly became hot for a while, and it was also used in the palace, when we went out to search, we didn't find it in the area of Huayin Tongguan where you were going. On the contrary, it got a lot of money on the Lu family's side, and later the interests of the thieves operating there, the matter was broken. I figured out that it should have come from Luonan's side. Now that the thieves are all heading south, you can go and see them. ”

There was news that was better than nothing, and Meng En stuffed some money into the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper always had a sincere smile on his face.

If the name Lu didn't just say that it was the name of the place, Li Meng thought that it was the name of a woman surnamed Lu, and after they returned to the ferry with Meng En, they asked the boatman, but the boatman knew this place. It's also easy to get there, and it's a county town along the Luoshui coast.

Although the other party's shelf is very large, but the purpose of entering the city is also quickly achieved, Li Meng felt very relaxed, so he simply led his subordinates and the girl to go around Luoyang City, everyone knows that the most magnificent and elegant and quiet scenery in Luoyang City is in King Fu's mansion, and this place is impossible to approach at all.

However, Zhou Zhujun's interest was very high. You have to watch it from a close distance, even if you look at the courtyard wall of the palace, saying that you want to see the grandeur of the world's first feudal king.

However, Luoyang's journey to the west was not as smooth as Li Meng thought, and he was in trouble when he came out, because Li Meng paid three or five percent higher than the normal market. The boatman has been waiting with all his might and carefully, but when he heard that Li Meng was going to continue west to the Lu clan.

The smiling face of the ship boss immediately became extremely embarrassed, Li Mengdi's demeanor and those entourages around him said that it was a caravan dress, but they all knew that it must be a strong party. The boatman knew he couldn't afford to offend. But there he still pleaded and said:

"Uncle, I can't go to the Lu family. The officers and thieves are coming and going over there, and it's very chaotic, and if our boat walks on the waterway, we don't dare to say that it is safe......."

Hearing what the boat family said, Chen Liu and the brothers of the Meng family hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, but the boat family sat on the side with a bitter face, but they refused to let go, making money is one thing, and their lives are at stake!

Meng En stood beside Li Meng with a wry smile and explained in a low voice:

"Don't hide it from your lordship, on weekdays, Wen Ru business is to do this Luoyang City, and then to the west is not able to walk, walking on the river, I often hear people say that they have been poisoned by thieves over there, pitiful!"

"Didn't the shopkeeper of the Fuwang Salt Shop say that they had received salt in the Lu clan at noon today, will they have a way there?"

Li Meng remembered this matter, but when he thought about it at this time, there was a problem, when the green salt was hot, the place at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi, Shanxi, was the most chaotic season, and it was all the people and thieves from Shanxi, Shaanxi.

Saying this here, Meng En also came back to his senses, confessed his guilt to Li Meng, and hurriedly returned to Luoyang City, Li Meng shouted behind him:

"Don't worry about spending money, just give him whatever benefits you want."

Turning his head and shouting to Chen Liu, who was still arguing over there:

"I'll add a hundred taels of silver to the ship's money, can I go?"

Hearing the number "one hundred taels", the ship boss with a bitter face looked up in surprise, this time from Jining Prefecture to Luoyang on weekdays such a large-scale is only the price of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, Li Meng gave not to mention the cash, and he also brought some private goods to sell this time, which is already more profitable than usual, Luoyang along Luoshui, through Luoning to Lu's even in this troubled era, will not exceed the price of twenty taels of silver, and the other party has almost doubled at once.

The captain of the boat hesitated for a long time, and the sailors and boatmen in the inn looked at their boss with eager eyes, and the ship's money was added to one hundred taels, and everyone could take a lot more, but in the end, the ship's boss still shook his head, although there was a lot of money, it was still fate, and he refused.

Li Meng was unwilling to delay too much time in such a trivial matter, so he directly raised his voice and said:

"Then add two hundred taels of silver, if you don't agree, I don't believe you can't find a ship in Luoyang at this price."

Before Li Meng could say the next sentence, the boat boss had already jumped up and shouted loudly:

"We took it, we took it!!"

If the money is enough, life is nothing......

After discussing it here, ignoring the girl who said that she was going to enter the city again to taste Luoyang's famous food, Li Meng asked everyone to prepare for the boat and wait for Meng En, who went to the city to negotiate.

Meng En went for nearly three hours, and only came back from the city when it was dark, Meng En's face was full of joy, things were really not what Li Meng expected, Fuwang Salt Shop really had a relationship over there, after Meng En got the saying that he was not afraid to spend money, he also simply gave two hundred taels of silver.

As a result, there were two hundred taels of silver, and the king's shopkeeper did his job neatly, took a small flag out, and said to Meng En, "And hang this flag on the bow of the ship, and go to the Lu family...... As long as you don't go out of Henan, you will be unimpeded. As he spoke, Meng Enzhen took out a small burden from his arms.

Shake off the flag, but it is a banner with red characters on a black background, embroidered with a thick pen of blessing characters, and the calligraphy is poor, but this represents the auspicious word at this time, but there is a strong domineering spirit in it.

The ship boss who was working with the boatmen over there turned his head and saw the flag in Li Meng's hand, and regardless of any understanding, he jumped over with an exclamation, looked at the small flag with excitement on his face, and said in a trembling voice:

"Mother, we usually listen to the people walking on the Luoshui Yellow River, if there is this flag, the officers and soldiers, the thieves and soldiers dare not manage, unimpeded, amazing!"

After exclaiming, he looked up and said to Li Meng with a smile:

"Uncle, don't worry, there is this flag, this Luoshui can also go, otherwise, we don't want you to add that silver, and when you return to Shandong, give me this flag." Li Meng smiled and patted the shoulder of the boss of the ship, and ignored it.

Chongzhen's eight years are considered to be more than 20 years, barely a normal year, although there are small droughts and small floods, but basically God is not to blame, and the rain is also a little abundant, so the amount of water in Luoshui is very sufficient, and the big ships are also good, Li Meng and their fleet do not need to do any rotation, and they go all the way to the Lu family.

Before leaving, the boat boss's suggestion to Li Meng was to buy as much food as possible and put it on the ship, although there was a flag like a pass hanging on the bow of the ship, it might be better not to dock or not to dock, Li Meng also listened to the advice of the boat boss and arranged for Yanding and them to go into the city to buy together, which made Zhou Zhujun visit Luoyang City again.

Leaving Luoyang City to Luoning on this road, there are people and people on both sides of the river, but it is already very dilapidated, Henan is good in peacetime, it is really the worst place in the turbulent season, Henan is located in the Central Plains, no matter which way the army has to pass, after the soldiers cross, there are few places that are not broken, the current Henan is this situation, that is, relying on the Yellow River and several big rivers, the big city supported by waterway transportation can maintain tranquility, and the rest of the places are very miserable.

When the fleet passed Luoning, the situation was a little different, the ship was moving slowly, but it also walked a lot of places in a day and a night, and I didn't see a single person, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the saying that there is no one for thousands of miles should not be used in the heartland of Henan and Shaanxi anyway, but Li Meng and they really saw it. Compared with the girl who saw the vast wilderness and was excited, Li Meng and Yigan Yanding were in a rather heavy mood, and when chatting, Chen Liu said to Li Meng:

"I thought that our Shandong was in a very miserable situation, who would have thought that when I came to Henan to take a look, it was actually like this, we were actually in the Taiping realm, how could it be so harmful!"
