Naturally, people are more and more around, and after a little inquiry, they will understand the reason why this wooden stake is erected here, but there is no Li Meng's person to explain here, and everyone is at a loss. Moving a wooden stake is two taels of silver, two taels of silver is enough for a medium-sized family in Jiaozhou City to live a good life for a month, if you save some to spend two months is not a problem.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount of money, and the people who are tempted are not nothing, but everyone has no bottom in their hearts, especially those salts are all saying a word and leaving, who knows if there is a problem here, in case it takes a long time to carry this stake over, what if the other party does not give money, after all, it is the official's big mouth, if you want to say that it is a joke, you have no choice.

There are more and more onlookers, but no one stepped forward to do it, carrying this stake is a real strength work, not young people can not do it, but also have to be a healthy young man, these people are generally more frizzy, about to noon, the south gate of Jiaozhou City finally someone with the idea of gambling luck, stepped forward to pull down the stake and carried it, step by step towards the patrol yamen in the city.

Now it's like a fryer, the young man in front of him is carrying a wooden stake, followed by no less than a hundred people, the officials in the city are shocked when they see this scene, thinking that it must be a cult disorder, but fortunately, there are people who have seen the excitement to explain, this is to rest assured, there are a few good things The official is also interested in following behind.

The weight of the stake is not light, and it is a log that is not very handy, even if the young man is strong, when he arrived at the inspection of the house of the yamen, he was a little unable to support it, and there were a few salt-like people guarding the door of the house, and seeing this person carrying the stake, they were all happy to welcome him. They had been bored for a few hours, and though the young man had the courage, he was also apprehensive when he put down the stake, lest the other man play tricks. The onlookers also quieted down, waiting to see what would happen to the salt ding of the inspection department.

When they saw the two taels of silver in the young man's hand, everyone was surprised to "whoosh", and some young people hurriedly ran towards the other city gates, there were wooden stakes over there, and they were carried away by others if they went late.

A few people from the Yamen side of the Inspection Department smiled and pulled out the carriage, lifted the stake, and walked towards the south gate, everyone didn't notice, and Yan Ding pulled the young man who was carrying the stake, and asked what in a low voice there, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then his face was flushed with excitement, and he nodded again and again.

In fact, although the cash was given here, there were many people who went to carry the stake, but there were really not many people who could really carry it to the inspection yamen, and many people fell to the ground on the stake halfway, and the salters took the trouble to erect the stake back again, anyway, they were idle and idle, and for them, the days without practice were really rare leisure.

Compared with these civilians in the state city, the young people in the guard house have a little more blood type, and anyone who has the strength wants to try, even if they can't move it, this can be regarded as a support for Li Erlang, this Lingshan guard, who doesn't rely on him to eat and get some benefits!

Outside the city and the guard house are very lively, the Spring Festival is about to end, and there is such a lively to see, everyone is very excited.

The Shaohailou on the bank of the Xiaobai River in the city opened after the fifteenth day of the first month, although it is not open for business according to the rules before the twentieth day of the first month, but the owners and partners of the Shaohailou are all locals in Jiaozhou, and they don't care about these, and some old customers are outsiders who can't go home for the New Year, so they can directly solve the wine and dinner in this restaurant.

Li Meng rarely has such a leisure time, he is also sitting on the second floor of the restaurant on the elegant seat to pour himself a drink, the shopkeeper of Shaohailou naturally knows him, the four dishes in front of him, are made very carefully, it is said that this wine is also a first-class wine, he eats very comfortably.

The so-called second-floor private seat, for this Shaohai Building, is just a simple screen partition, adjacent to or even close to the private room can be heard clearly, Li Meng did not make a sound, drink slowly one cup after another, he suddenly found that this is a good news distribution center, consider whether to arrange someone to come and watch.

There is no New Year's month, there are not too many guests in the restaurant, the second floor seems to be very empty, Li Meng has always heard a table of guests talking and laughing loudly there near the left, listening to their words and doing things should be scholars, has been talking about the township test in Jinan Mansion in April and May this year.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the younger brother entered the city today, he saw a wooden stake standing at the city gate, and the onlookers kept clamoring, and they didn't know what was going on?"

"Brother Zhang, not only that place, but there are wooden stakes standing at all city gates today, saying that if the wooden stakes are moved to the courtyard of the house inspected by Yanzheng Li, you can get two taels of silver!"

Hearing this, many people's exclamations could even be heard clearly by Li Meng's side, but then a few people said with disdain:

"It's really a country man, doing such nonsense."

"These people are all bandits and scoundrels, so it is not natural to do this kind of flaunting of wealth and inaction."

Li Meng's position is just opposite the staircase, these people are talking loudly, and the guys who are waiting upstairs can also hear it clearly, the scholars are famous, and he doesn't dare to take care of it, so he can only run downstairs to find the shopkeeper Lin, and after a while, the shopkeeper Lin rushed up with a pale face.

After coming up, he also deliberately looked inside Li Meng's seat, for fear that this evil star would be angry, who would have thought that he saw Li Meng smiling and waving his hand at him, signaling that there was nothing to do, but the shopkeeper Lin was still stunned, confirming what Li Meng meant, this is the confusion of going downstairs, thinking that those scholars are afraid that they are going to be unlucky.

Li Meng is not angry, a scholar, always has a sour temper, good to say some strange things, this is also seen a lot in modern times, listening to these cultural people talking about themselves, it is a very interesting thing, so that the shopkeeper Lin does not have to make a fuss, after going downstairs, Li Meng only picked up the wine glass here, and heard someone over there say in a deep voice:

"Do you remember Shang Ying's prestige? Other people's stakes, he also stakes, but the wisdom of the ancients! ”

During the Warring States period, the Shang Dynasty was worried that everyone would not believe and obey his orders, so he erected a wooden stake in the middle of the city and issued a notice saying that whoever carried this wooden stake to a certain place could get ten gold, but everyone thought that this thing was too nonsense, so no one did it.

Later, the reward was raised higher and higher, and when it reached 100 gold, someone finally decided to try it, and transported the stake to that place, and Shang Ying paid the man 100 gold according to the promised reward, and from then on, everyone knew that Shang Ying's decree must be carried out.

Li Meng did this almost by copying, but everyone didn't expect a salt administration's inspection, in the eyes of officials and scholars on the right path, Li Meng, who was like a reckless and strong man, actually had this strategy. Li Meng sighed and drank all the wine in the wine glass, this is a bridge that has been talked about in modern history popular books and various film and television dramas, and it is not unusual for people to see through it so easily, after all, readers in this era are better than modern history books to the sky.

After being broken by this person, there was silence at first, and then the sound of exclamation and gasping was clearly heard even by Li Meng, and after a while, someone hesitated and asked:

"Brother Zhou, what is the purpose of this inspection?"

"I can't see through it, there are many rumors about Li Erlang's start, I see his every move, his words and deeds on weekdays, and it is by no means a small salt political inspection."

"You don't have to worry, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, even if the people have a small night, it is a big problem, naturally someone will take care of it, why should I worry about this."

Hearing this, Brother Zhou, who said the allusion to Shang Ying, sneered and said coldly:

"Holy Tomorrow?"

The scene instantly cooled down, Li Meng listened to it with full attention, after coming to the Ming Dynasty, the people he came into contact with were more special, and more grassroots, and he met very few readers, Ning Qiangui is a showman, Hou Shan is still a child, and he is also one, and the rest are those shopkeepers who met in Jining, it is a little funny to say, if you don't study in business these years, you can't do it, you have an identity like a show, and you can't help but remind Li Meng of the requirements for academic qualifications of modern business companies.

However, these people say that they are scholars, that is, they have a title, have read a few books, know words, and talk about money and goods. Otherwise, people like Ning Qiangui and Hou Shan, who were full of smiling faces and didn't seem to have any backbone, talked about and commented on current affairs in the elegant seats on the second floor of the restaurant, which was in line with Li Meng's impression of scholars in this era.

The next thing to talk about was obviously to change the topic, no longer to discuss the Son of Heaven and the like, someone said in a flattering tone:

"Brother Zhou is highly learned, knowledgeable, and can be lifted in the township examination, and he will enter Beijing in the future to take the examination and the palace examination."

Everyone roared and said yes, that Brother Zhou didn't speak for a long time, and only said in a Xiao Suo tone for a long time:

"Hundreds of officials go out of Donglin, this official Su Songchang is full of people, and the second-class ones also have to be made up by Hangjiahu, how can there be any things for our northerners, if they are in the middle, returning to their hometown with fame is contentment."

Li Meng had already drunk the wine in the pot, and the dishes were almost eaten, and the topic of the scholar over there gradually turned to the wind and snow, and he was not interested in continuing to listen, so he went downstairs to check out, and asked the shopkeeper of Nalin and said:

"This week upstairs, do you know where the shopkeeper is from?"

The shopkeeper of Shaohailou felt that it was not good, but he didn't dare to hide it from Li Meng, and replied honestly:

"He is the second son of Zhou Yuanwai's family in the city, surnamed Zhou Mingyang, the word Yueyun, is a talented man in our Jiaozhou City, and he is very enthusiastic and benevolent......"
