Although Li Meng returned to Fengmeng Town, Jiaozhou, Laizhou Prefecture on the twenty-eighth day of the sixth year of Chongzhen, this Spring Festival is also the happiest one for Lingshan Weishu and Fengmeng Town.
Li Meng brought back a large number of New Year's goods in Jining City, all kinds of goods in such prosperous places are much better than those in Jiaozhou City, all of them are sent as welfare to people who follow Li Meng's private salt system, this is the second Spring Festival, although those who followed Li Meng in the first Spring Festival also made some money, but I don't know if they can earn it in the second year, so they keep the money for emergency use.
This year's situation is different, Li Meng is already a salt political inspector, with nearly 1,000 elite soldiers under his command, Laizhou Mansion and the adjacent Qingzhou East, Dengzhou West, who wants to do the business of private salt If Li Meng does not agree, a pound of salt can not be sold, looking at this trend, only getting better and better, and good days are still ahead.
Everyone is relieved, and dare to spend more money to spend a fat year, compared to the laughter here, the year in other places is getting worse and worse, so half of the pigs and sheep in Laizhou are sold to Jiaozhou.
The people below are happy to live a good life, but the core personnel around Li Meng are even more excited, and they have earned a lot of silver, which means that Li Meng can further expand his personnel and forces, indicating that the power of the entire salt pole will swell.
Ning Qiangui now feels more and more that the decision he made to kneel in front of Li Meng's door that day was correct, it has only been a few months, Li Meng actually made so much silver in the clouds, that method is simply unheard of, originally those salt Ding captains talked to each other about what Li Meng is Erlang God possessed, he also scoffed, thinking that the countrymen are shallow, and these days by Li Meng's side, Ning Qiangui also gradually believed in this statement, if it were not for the possession of the gods, how could there be such a series of means, I thought that in Jining, I would make money this time.
Who thought that there were follow-up means, it was incredible to think about it, how could a martial artist who grew up in Wei have so many ways to make money.
Fengmeng Town and Lingshan are laughing and laughing, the salt dealers in Qingzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion are complaining, the originally messy Laizhou Mansion smuggling salt dealers suddenly came out of Li Erlang Such a monster, the means are ruthless, and vigorously squeeze their market, Qingzhou and Dengzhou are also by the sea, there are also salt farms, but under the same conditions, this salt has no way to compare with the quality of the other party, the price is the same, everyone is naturally willing to use good goods.
But if you improve the quality of salt on your side, it can only be a loss of money, originally the south is the territory of Huai salt, and it can also be trafficked in the east and north, and now the east is entrenched by Li Meng, they can only buy and sell in the north by Jinan Mansion, Jinan Mansion is the capital of a province, the transportation is convenient, the price of salt is not high, and the money is getting less and less, the situation in Dengzhou Mansion is similar to them, but there has just been a war disaster over there, and the salt sellers are some single households, and they don't even have the right to speak in front of Li Meng, it is estimated that it will be another month or two. The illegal salt trade in Dengzhou Mansion completely fell into the hands of Li Meng.
The desperate Qingzhou salt sellers, the single households simply give up this livelihood, which is a head-killing business in itself, since they can't make money, so why bother to buy and sell. There are also some people who are local landlords and tyrants, who generally buy private salt and sell it to the surrounding households, what they want is stability, these people are already ready to go to Li Meng, it is said that they make money there and are stable, there are people to protect them, and when the time comes, they will sell it below, and they are still less worried than before.
As for the big salt lords in Qingzhou Prefecture, these are the people who make the greatest profits from the private salt in Qingzhou, and they sell salt from the salt works and other places to individual households and those landlords and tyrants, and now Li Meng accounts for the majority of these things, and they can already make less and less money.
These Qingzhou salt lords hate Li Meng to the core, but the key problem is that no one has the confidence to deal with Li Meng's salt Ding when they pull out people to fight, if they sue the official, Shandong has a total of four inspections, and the area responsible for the inspection of the salt administration in Jiaozhou happens to be Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou.
Now these salt lords all know that Li Meng wants to expand outward, but according to Li Meng's way of using salt ding, no more people will not be able to set up cards to check and intercept in the newly expanded places, and they can only recruit people to expand, and now the seven hundred and fifty people under his command are already the upper limit of the custom.
If Li Meng continues to recruit troops and horses, he will go to the government to accuse him of a bad plot, and then make money, let Li Meng wait to be captured by the army, if he does not recruit new soldiers and maintain the current situation, it will naturally be something that Qingzhou salt lords are not happy about.
On the twentieth day of the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, a wooden stake was erected at the gates of each thousand households of the Lingshan Guard and the various gates of Jiaozhou City, which was almost the thickness of the mouth of the sea bowl and more than six feet high.
On the side stood a young man wearing a short gray cloth robe, everyone knew that this was Li Erlang's salt.
It has been almost a year since Yanzhuzi became a salt ding, and the people in Jiaozhou City know that these salt rods are different from before, they are very disciplined and do not oppress the people, so the curious people are not afraid, they all come forward directly to ask, as for the Lingshan Guard, there are so many children of military families, and they are familiar with each other.
Seeing that there were more people asking, the young man under the stake began to shout:
"My family, Lord Li, take advantage of this New Year's Festival to give you a number of programs to cheer up."
Li Meng's power and wealth, Jiaozhou City and Lingshan Guard, have already heard and witnessed, but for most people there is still a sense of mystery, during this New Year, everyone is trying to be lively, and when they hear that there are many programs shouted here, there are many people around.
"This thing is not difficult, as long as you move this wooden stake to the front of the house of the inspection yamen in the city, you will give the person who moved the wooden stake two taels of silver, and pay it in cash, and there will be no arrears!"
After finishing speaking, this person went directly, if it was in the guard, it was to move the stake to the west village of the Xue family's thousand households, whether it was Jiaozhou City or Lingshan Guard, the distance to carry the stake was almost two thousand steps, this stake does not seem to be light, this is a hard work.
I don't know what the reason is, the salt Ding who was at the Jiaozhou City Gate and the Lingshan Guard, just shouted once, and then walked away, and didn't stay there to explain.
Why is this, everyone is confused......
