Upstairs became quiet again, and Li Meng raised his voice and said:

"Everyone, tomorrow I will recruit people, if your children are willing to send over, and are not afraid of the child's hardship, as long as it passes my regulations, I will recruit it, my salt pole is a good place to teach children."

Waving his hand, he went, and these people who stayed behind were a little unintentional about drinking and eating, thinking that the salt pole was recruiting people in a big way, presumably to prepare for the monopoly and card set up today.

Besides, this salt pole is famous, but these young people in it also have the roots in the past, nothing more than the poor military households of the Lingshan Guard, the honest peasant children, who knows that they have become such a good man now, every time they go to the Lingshan Guard to enter the salt, they can hear those people full of envy talking about the young military children and their families who joined the salt pole, saying that they are given enough money, and the family is happy, and some people say that a few children who do not learn to be frivolous on weekdays, after joining the salt pole, are now obedient and filial good children, Obey the rules everywhere.

How to calculate, this is a good choice to join the salt pole, on the second floor, these salt merchants, salt lords, salt dealers, who do not have a few relatives and children, and these children because of their own smuggled salt, living conditions are good and tyrannical, often not a worry-free role, is worried that no one cares, then Li Meng Li Erlang looks really a heroic appearance, where people are placed is also assured, at the moment, there are many people who have decided to go home quickly to report the news.

Li Meng went downstairs, more than 20 people sitting at the table on the first floor and eating, all stood up, led by Wang Hai, seeing Li Meng come down, Wang Hai waved his hand, these people all picked up the knife and axe leaning on the table, and went out together, Li Meng frowned and turned around and said:

"Wrap the guys with something, there are a lot of people in the state city!"

As soon as these young men heard this, they were busy looking for something to wrap up, some took off their coats, and some had nothing to wrap them, and the shopkeeper Lin, who was resting on the first floor, couldn't see it, and beckoned the guy to the back to get some steamer cloth, which solved the problem.

Wang Hai is the time to grow his body, only half a year of hard work, because he is exercising every day, the quality of his diet has also been greatly improved, so he is getting stronger and stronger, and he has caught up with the trend of Ma Gang, and because of the hard work of practice, the skills in the salt pole are among the top few, and everyone is also very convinced.

The noise on the second floor could be heard clearly even on the street opposite Shaohai Tower, Wang Hai followed behind Li Meng and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Li, our life is stronger than before to the sky, yesterday I heard the master say that we earn more than ten times more silver every year than King Mu Yan, why do we have to spend so much effort?"

Hearing this, Li Meng was stunned, took a few steps forward, suddenly laughed, turned back to Wang Hai's shoulders and said:

"Why else, in order to live a better life, come to this world, you have to make yourself and the people around you live more comfortably, life is better, people, all you want is not to be satisfied."

Wang Hai shook his head, obviously not quite understanding, but he still said very solemnly:

"We don't understand, but what Brother Li tells us to do, we'll do it."

Li Meng smiled and nodded, and said as he walked, this group of people has already turned to another street, Xiaoxiaozhou City, that is, there are a few decent streets, in Li Meng's impression, the prosperity of this Jiaozhou City at this time is much worse than the modern Li Gezhuang, Wangtai Town, and Hongshi Cliff These towns.

But walking on the street, the shops on both sides, a certain section of the bluestone pavement, and the pedestrians coming and going, although the clothing, architectural style, and even the way of talking are very different, Li Meng can still feel a feeling of being in the city, and this feeling always makes him feel very comfortable.

The shops in Jiaozhou City, one is that there is a street around the Zhizhou Yamen, and there are many shops on both sides of the Xiaobai River that flows through Jiaozhou City, after all, it is by the river, and it is more convenient to enter and exit the goods through the waterway, and there are often tourists on the river bank, and the business is also easy to do.

At this time, both sides of the bank are almost green, and the amount of water in the river is also a lot, and it is very pleasant to walk on the shore, Li Meng and Wang Hai threw the more than 20 salt guards behind them farther away, and were walking, when they suddenly saw a group of people in front of them gathered together, and they were scolding endlessly.

Chinese people like to gather to see the lively habit, from modern times to the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago has not changed, at this time is also the same, the pedestrians on the road are interested in the past onlookers.

Li Meng is not a saint, he thinks about what he is doing in broad daylight, and when he looks at it, this shop is a blacksmith shop, he has been here a few days ago to play a short stab, he is tall, looking in from outside, he saw the blacksmith master and a few apprentices are boxing and kicking around a person.

The person who was beaten looked dressed like an apprentice in this blacksmith shop, but why did he beat it, the onlookers also applauded loudly, Li Meng was a little strange, and he leaned forward again, this is the noisy cheering that was heard, it turned out to be shouting to kill the "Liao dog".

The man covered his head and face, curled up, just where to cry and beg for mercy, and did not dare to fight back, Liao dog is the Liao people, the north of Jizhen and the place outside the Guanwai Damingzi folk customs called Liao Town, the people there are also called Liao people, of course, in modern times, but they are all called Northeast people.

Li Meng didn't react for a while, thinking that it was the Liao State during the Song Dynasty......

Dengzhou Mansion has been poisoned by Kong Youde for nearly two years, Laizhou Mansion has also suffered a lot, Pingdu Prefecture has been breached once, Kong Youde was originally a general under Mao Wenlong in Liaodong, and his subordinates are naturally all military households and soldiers in Liaodong, these people killed nearly 100,000 people in Dengzhou Mansion, except for hundreds of young women who were kept as camp prostitutes, the rest of the people were either killed or eaten as food when they were besieged.

The Ming army mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress, and these officers and troops were not strictly disciplined troops, and the local area was tantamount to being ravaged twice. In this way, the people in Denglai are eager to remove the bones and skin of the culprit Kong Youde, and they also hate the border soldiers of Liaozhen who are in rebellion with him.

"This bastard pretends to be dumb, Lao Tzu looks at him pitiful, this is what he took in, who wants this bastard to suddenly speak today, but it is the accent of Liao Dog, I really don't know if I came to my shop to be with my heart, today Lao Tzu fought hard to eat the king's law, and he was going to kill him!"
