In modern times, in the same location of Qingdao, because of the construction and industry, there is hardly any smell of the sea, the first month of the days spent in the Xue family's thousands of households, although it is said to be poor, but the environment is completely semi-closed, Li Meng always feels that he is like in a dream, there is no sense of reality.

Today, when he came to Fengmeng Town, a town that may have disappeared in modern times, Li Mengzhen really felt that he had indeed crossed over, and he was now in the Ming Dynasty more than 400 years ago.

Zhao Neng and the others quickly finished shopping, and turned back with a lot of laughter, some people carried a piece of pork in their hands, some people made some wine, and some people had a few feet of cloth in their hands, this is the only commodity that can be provided in this town, but for these children of military families who have been poor for many years, it is enough luxury.

"Let's go home."

If they went back, according to what Li Meng said, a group of people still walked on the path, with empty cars and empty burdens, and some silver money in their pockets, so they walked easily and were happy.

A few young men who talk a lot have not stopped, Zhao Neng, who has always been steady, also has a smile on his face, Li Meng's mood is also very good, boiling the sea and boiling salt, and slowing down is also a good way to improve his life, after all, in this era, it is most important to live comfortably, which is also Li Meng's goal in the near future.

On the return trip of the road, I really saw a few farmers living on the side of the road, both sides were startled, the farmers thought they had met a strongman, Li Meng and they thought they had met the inspection of Yanding, but fortunately, it was a false alarm, and they passed away from each other.

When the last ray of light disappeared into the sky, Li Meng and the others rushed back to the Xue family's thousand households, which is a thousand households according to its name, in fact, because of various reasons such as hidden household registration, the number of population households is slightly more, but there are only a few hundred households on the list.

In fact, according to the establishment of small banners, general banners, 100 households, and 1,000 households, they live scattered, almost one unit per 100 households, which is almost a big village.

As soon as the group happily entered the village, they were stopped by Li Meng outside the village, and said:

"Brothers, if you want to make this business often, we all have to keep our mouths tight, and if we are heard and denounced, we won't be able to run!"

Chen Liuzi on the side also shouted viciously:

"If anyone doesn't have a tight mouth, I, Chen Liuzi, will cut off his head with a knife!"

"Brother Li, don't worry, we all know how powerful ......"

Everyone agreed, but before they could finish speaking, there was a cry from inside the village, which was heartbreaking, so clear in the quiet night, and not a family. Zhao Neng frowned and listened intently, and said:

"This is not Mrs. Ding, there is also the old Wang family."

Speaking of this, everyone no longer dared to delay outside, and hurried into the village at a faster pace, as for those waist knives and iron rulers, they were all taken back by Li Meng and pushed home in his own cart.

As soon as they entered the village, everyone was startled, and the whole village seemed to have just been blown by a typhoon, full of wolves, some people silently cleaned up there, and some people scolded and cried. The joy of everyone after making money is dissipated, and they hurriedly go back to their respective homes.

Li Meng and Zhao Neng are neighbors, when they arrived at the door, they found that the doors of the two families were open, Li Meng put the chicken bus towards the door, and hurriedly entered his house with Zhao Neng.

Although the house was a mess, what reassured them was that Zhao Neng's mother was fine, she was cooking in the kitchen, but the old lady's face was not good-looking, looking at the appearance in the house and her mother's expression, Zhao Neng hurriedly asked:

"Mother, what's going on?"

The old lady added another handful of firewood, and then opened her mouth to talk about why this is the case today, two hours after Li Meng and the others went out, Inspector Mu came to this village with dozens of salt dings, saying that there were righteous people who reported that there were people selling illegal salt here and harboring a large number of salt goods.

Trafficking in illicit salt and harboring salt goods is a big crime, and no one dares to admit it, and Li Meng and Zhao Neng are secretive about their affairs, everyone vaguely guesses, but they don't dare to confirm it, and everyone in the township will not talk nonsense.

This Mu patrol didn't bother to ask, and went directly to each household to search, these dozens of salt Ding seemed to be dozens of mad dogs, and suddenly it was a chicken and a dog jumping in the village, but the bulk of the salt goods were pushed out by Li Meng and Zhao Neng, and each household really had nothing to save.

However, these beasts can't find illegal private salt, it doesn't mean that they will be honest, who has anything valuable, these salts will not let go, broken families are worth ten thousand, the poor have these family funds, how can they rob them, but these salts are like wolves and tigers, and the slightest resistance is a beating.

The village chief, who is also a hundred households, didn't dare to come out at all, but fortunately, the Mu inspection also saved some face for these hundred households and didn't do anything to him.

I didn't find any large quantities of salt, only a little salt from each household, it seems that this matter has passed, but Mu Patrol inspected these tigers, wolves, birds and beasts, and they were able to give up, but they snatched the widow and daughter-in-law of Granny Ding and the eldest girl of the old Yang family.

Granny Ding is an old lady with a bad ear, and she has no wife, her son died early, and she relied on her daughter-in-law to support her, and the old Yang family is also a girl, these old and weak people can stop these salts, and the young and strong people in the village, the bold ones are going out to sell salt (boiling sea and boiling salt and selling them are all illegal activities, and it takes some guts), and the rest are too scared to go out.

Seeing that these people snatched the widow Ding and the girl of the Yang family away, they didn't dare to come out, and they didn't dare to clean up until the evening. Granny Ding and the old Yang family had nothing to do, so they cried out to the sky and the earth, so what other way was there.

Looking at the wolves in the village, listening to the crying that came, Li Meng's face was blue, and Zhao Neng's face was not good-looking, the cause of this incident was because they trafficked illicit salt, and they thought they could make some money to improve everyone's life, but who knew that it would affect everyone.

The good mood disappeared, Li Meng didn't speak, Zhao Neng squeezed out a smile on his face, raised the pork and cloth in his hand, and said:

"Mother, this time I went to Fengmeng Town to buy some meat and cloth."

The old lady sighed, took the meat and cloth, and said:

"You two haven't eaten yet, I'll make this meat."

"No need Auntie, I've already eaten outside, you and my Brother Zhao can eat, I'm a little tired, go back and rest first."
