As a result, the two Jiaozhou cities were considered rich and powerful, and they were eating and drinking silently on the Shaohai Tower, and the scene was very depressing.

"A few days ago, I went to Gaomi to suppress bandits, and the money was spent as if it was running water, and Yan Ding had to do everything himself, so I remembered Brother Zhou's words that day, and it was really precise."

Or Li Meng broke the silence first, Zhou Juren heard Li Meng's question, he was full of excitement, and he really didn't know how to answer, so he simply picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

"There must be a territory, but Brother Zhou said that this Shandong is a dead land, the fields are barren, and it is too easy to be surrounded by people, Li has pondered for a long time and doesn't know why, may I ask sir, and where is the so-called place to stand today?"

These words are indeed too real, Zhou Yang's sip of wine was suddenly choked in his throat, his face was flushed, he hurriedly covered it with his sleeves, coughed for a long time, turned around, but saw Li Meng looking at him with a smile, and did not speak, the so-called scholarly spirit pointed to the country, Zhou Yang and other scholars, what he was thinking about was the general trend of the world, and now someone asked, the answer may cause a big disaster, and it is really itchy in my heart if I don't answer.

After half a ring, this week Juren filled himself with another cup, raised his head and drank dry, coughed a few times and said:

"Don't say it's really uncomfortable, no matter what, Zhou was cut today, and he has to say it happily."

Li Meng was waiting for this sentence, smiled and picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass to Zhou Juren opposite, and said leisurely:

"In this Jiaozhou city. With my salt Ding guarding, who dares to treat you Mr. Zhou, the knives and guns I am holding are not ornaments. ”

"Although the world is big, it is nothing more than the southeast and northwest, the north is cold and frozen, and the east is raging, don't talk about him. The place that can be used for business in the west is nothing more than 800 miles of Qinchuan, but now the imperial army and the thief army come and go, killing and killing, and the local population has plummeted, and it is already dilapidated, and it is not the root place. ”

It's really amazing when you open your mouth, Li Meng asked. It's really a hook out of Zhou Juren's full stomach of words. Li Meng listened attentively over there, lest he miss a sentence, Li Meng's actions made Zhou Juren's interest in talking even higher, and this Zhuge Liang also had Liu Bei's sincere advice to say that Di Longzhong was right, and it was easy to get interested in talking with sincerity and studiousness.

"And now. The only places that have not been poisoned by the military disaster are all over the south of the Yangtze River, but the roads in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are difficult and dangerous, and the places are barren, and they are not long-term places. Although there is a natural danger barrier in Sichuan, after entering, he will guard against foreign enemies and trap himself inside. ”

Li Meng was also looking for books to study during this time, and heard Zhou Juren say this. He interjected in a deep voice:

"So to speak. The places to go are nothing more than Jiangnan and Huguang......"

Zhou Juren was just about to speak, when he heard the crackling of firecrackers outside. The words were drowned out all of a sudden, Li Meng was startled, and several salt ladies outside were also nervously guarded, Zhou Yang was even more panicked, thinking that something was wrong, at this time someone outside shouted:

"Congratulations to Master Li Meng and Master Li for his promotion, the official document of the Ministry of War has arrived, and I invite Master Li to come down to receive the document!"

There was a rush of footsteps on the stairs not far away, and the salters did not stop it, but it was the shopkeeper Lin of the restaurant who ran up, and the shopkeeper's face was full of enthusiastic smiles, and he shouted before he entered the door:

"Master Li, no, Master Li, the official document of the subordinates of the Jingshi Army, you have been promoted because of your great achievements."

The other guests on the second floor all took the initiative to come over to congratulate, and a few salters came up downstairs, with happy looks on their faces, and when they saw Li Mengdi, they hurriedly opened their mouths to explain what was going on.

Master Ning Qianguining, who was presiding over there, saw this official document and knew that this was a rare and joyful thing, and it was also a good opportunity to inspect the Yamen Yanding system and these people raised their eyebrows in Jiaozhou City.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with his subordinates' such a flamboyant and publicized behavior, Li Meng was also quite happy in his heart, he fought to death in Xiazhuang that day, and also lost a brother, and today's promotion is a reward.

Hurriedly going back to his own house, today's conversation obviously can't continue, Zhou Juren saw Li Meng's promotion, his heart was even more relaxed, he was so open-minded, talking to Li Meng about this kind of secret and forbidden topic, whether the relationship between the two sides is now or in the future, it is obviously not too bad, and it is very beneficial to himself.

When Li Meng was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, Li is just a salt inspector at this time, a small official who does not enter the flow of nine products, but he is talking about the general trend of the world with Mr. Zhou here, as if he is a general figure of the chief soldier and the governor, sir, you say it is ridiculous."

Zhou Yang, who said these sudden, unprovoked words, was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, took a sip of the wine glass, raised it and signaled to Li Meng, Li Meng laughed, and walked downstairs quickly, no matter how he used to be, everything was already in plain sight at this time.

Leaving the private room upstairs, from the second floor to the street, everyone who can say hello is enthusiastic and flattering to come forward to say congratulations, Li Meng is a little polite response, so there is really a lot of delay on the way, since the matter has been confirmed, there is no need to worry anyway.

When he returned to inspect the yamen mansion, the brocade guard who brought the order in the main hall was already quite impatient, the documents appointed by such officials, if it is urgent or the situation is special, even if it is not the emperor's decree, there will be a fast horse out of Beijing to pass the decree, this time it is the relationship between the eunuch Liu Gonggong, of course, it is a special situation.

Tiqi is just a little ant in the capital, but after he comes out, he is the envoy of the herald, so his identity is different, and he is ready to make a profit.

It's a pity that this brocade guard met Li Meng, after the last incident, it was difficult for Li Meng to have a good impression of these fans, and he gave dozens of taels of silver according to the usual practice, and directly received the paperwork and told him. Seeing that the other party's attitude was not attentive at all, he could only give an order with a cold face:

"Li Meng, the general banner of the Lingshan Guard, has made great contributions to pacifying the high-density thieves, but now although it is a peaceful season, there are still traitors running rampant in the township to collude with the thieves, in order to pacify the place, it is specially allowed to invite Chen Dazhong, the general of Denglai, to promote the general flag Li Meng to garrison Jiaozhou, protect one side, and pay various matters, Shandong Governor and Political Envoy Department to prepare and contact by themselves."

After finishing the content of the paperwork, he was stunned by the seal and the confession document on the table, and went out with a scolding scolding, Li Meng stood up and took the copper seal and the document, and looked at it over and over again, the seal button on the copper seal did not know whether it was a wolf or a dog carving, and the metal products had a lot of weight in the hand, and the document was a bright red seal, white paper and black letters.

There are only three people in the main hall, Chen Liu, Wang Hai, and Master Ning, and the three of them are overjoyed when they look at Li Meng's promotion, Li Meng's promotion, they must also follow the rising tide, but looking at Li Meng's silence Mosuo seal, there is no expression on his face, and they all feel that Master Li Erlang is really the material of a natural big man, and he is so calm when he is pampered and humiliated.

Li Meng waved his hand and motioned for a few of them to go out, and a few people hurriedly bowed and saluted and retreated, and when they arrived in the courtyard to explain, Yan Ding, who was waiting for news all over the yard, suddenly cheered loudly.

The main hall was very quiet, Li Meng looked at the copper seal in his hand, the corners of his mouth turned up, and showed a silent smile, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea.

"Lao Tzu now has the name of leading troops legally......"

Li Meng, the military household of the Lingshan Guard, led the people to exterminate the Gaomi rout and thieves, and promoted the Jiaozhou garrison because of his merits, and the martial arts were five products, guarding Jiaozhou, Jimo, and Gaomi.

No one noticed this order of the Ministry of War, a five-rank military attaché, the appointment of the local garrison, compared to the Shaanxi thieves who wandered in Henan and Nanzhili, and the Dongyu Jurchens who were eyeing outside the customs, the various natural disasters in various places, whether it was that matter, it was more eye-catching than this matter.

Garrison is the official position of the fifth grade, if it is a five-grade civil official, it is amazing, if it is a five-grade military attaché, then no one can afford it, the sons of the noble families of the north and the south, and the military attache titles of the fourth and fifth grades are hung everywhere, which is not a big deal.

The reason is very simple, the military attache commands the army, and the soldiers cannot be paid and silver, but the finances of the Ming Dynasty are tight everywhere, and even the so-called elite of the Beijing division and the nine-sided warriors are like beggars and homeless people, half hungry and half full. led a group of leaders called Hanako.,That's just a capable Hanako.。

How can it compare with the herdsmen officials of those prefectures and counties, in a few years, if they make thousands of taels of silver, it is all praised everywhere in the name of Qing officials, and the income difference is so huge, and since the three major expeditions in Wanli year, I have not seen any victories between the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty inside and outside.

Since Nurhachi raised troops on the Jurchen side of the East, I have not heard of any victories in the conquest of officers and soldiers, and one by one the famous generals and governors have either lost their heads or surrendered there, and after the great chaos of the hungry people in Shaanxi, it is a victory today, and the news of a great victory tomorrow comes out, but what is the result?

At this year's Xingyang Conference of Hundreds of Thousands of Thieves, General Li Zicheng said: There are hundreds of thousands of people today, and there is no way to go anywhere in the world. It's a breakthrough through the limit of yourself.,This time a day non-stop update of six chapters,It's also a thank you for your encouragement.,I also hope that everyone will be in my stable update.,Vote more monthly tickets for Lao Bai.,Go further and maintain a dominant position.,It's also one of Lao Bai's extravagant hopes.,I hope you support my sight.,It's really sleepy.,Go to bed first.,Before going to bed, ask for the next monthly pass.,I don't know what kind of surprise there will be when I turn on the computer at work tomorrow.,Looking forward to.。
