Among the magistrates in Shandong, this Lord Liu Qingsong and Liu were all considered unlucky ghosts in the past, because he had dealt with Li Meng a lot in all aspects. (Provide a > for the latest chapter reading.)

In front of the "arrogant" Jiaozhou battalion, this Lord Liu, who was prepared for the army, was repeatedly deflated, and his face was gone, and he almost became a joke in Shandong officialdom for a period of time in the officialdom, but all kinds of coincidences, among the Shandong magistrates, that is, this Lord Liu Qingsong Liu and Li Meng were familiar with each other.

When there is a vacancy in this position to participate in politics, it is better to change someone who is not familiar with it, it is better to change someone who knows a little bit of the details, and Liu Qingsong is a wealthy family in Hebei, and it is necessary to be connected.

Suddenly, the most unlucky one became the luckiest, this Liu Qingsong was born in a family, and unlike those poor scholars who were officials, he didn't attach much importance to the righteousness and loyalty of the court, but was sensitive to the strength of the abnormal.

Liu Qingsong, who is a political participant, can be said to have been on the edge of the Jiaozhou battalion, watching the miraculous growth of this group step by step, he can also realize that the Jiaozhou battalion is like a giant.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of those outstanding people in wealthy families, Liu Qingsong is also smart-minded, and he can see that when Li Meng was only the general soldier of Shandong, the local officials in Shandong had a cold attitude, kept a distance from the Jiaozhou battalion, and were even slightly hostile. Liu Qingsong is kind and pleasant, providing all kinds of help within his ability, and the tradition of Li Meng and the Jiaozhou camp is "the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates". The kindness shown by the other party, Jiaozhou Camp will also repay with kindness, and Liu Qingsong's favor has finally been rewarded.

After Li Meng became the real master of Shandong, Liu Qingsong was also smooth sailing in Shandong's official career, and the current political envoy of Shandong no longer wanted to take care of things, but only pondered that he had completed the number of years, and if this Li Erlang allowed, he would take his family back to his hometown to support the elderly. And the real ones in charge are Li Meng's father-in-law and this Liu Qingsong.

Compared with Liu Qingsong, who is a rudder, Yan Shenzheng is really a bit hard-hearted, although his son-in-law has done such a big business, Yan Shenzheng always feels that his name is not right, and he has achieved this position. It's not based on your own real talents. Rather, it is by nepotism. I was ashamed.

Therefore, Yan Shenzheng is also relatively lazy in his position, and he is in contact with calligraphy all day long, and the Qingke literati under his subordinates, chanting poems and singing harmony, but he is also leisurely.

This is the father-in-law of Dashuaidi, and the local people will naturally not interfere with what he wants to do, but Shandong currently has two sets of civil affairs teams, one is the Tuntian Grange, and the other is the original prefecture, prefecture and county system. Tuntian Grange is managed by Zhou Yang, and the prefecture and county system currently governs more than 30% of the population, and because the market is gradually too peaceful and rich, the population from other places is gradually moving in, and this proportion is gradually increasing.

At present, Liu Qingsong is the leader of this civil affairs system, and this power is almost equal to the power of the former political envoys, and even the authority of some governors, which is really majestic.

Regarding Liu Qingsong's power, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, looked very unpleasant. However, there is a sequence of refuge in this refuge. It's too late to regret it.

Yan Jizu also often sighs that he has the same surname as Yan who participated in politics. It's a pity that the eight poles can't hit the ground relationship, if there are some relatives. Isn't it up to now?

Li Meng's subordinate system is different from the officialdom of Daming, they can be regarded as having their own stalls, and everyone is busy in their respective areas, and there is no effort to spend time in the snow. Since this Liu Qingsong achieved this position and has a power that is completely greater than this position, he is also very busy, and his round figure has actually fluctuated, and he has lost more than a dozen pounds.

In April, after Li Meng went to Laiwu, he returned to Jinan City and began to be busy with the restructuring of the army, and Liu Qingsong was also extremely surprised, not only in Shandong, but also in the local government offices in Nanzhili, and in Henan, the local government offices in several accumulation places in Henan also began to enter their own jurisdiction.

Although the imperial court did not say it explicitly, the local magistrates in these places were expressly or implicitly stated that at present, the magistrates in these places are cross-managed by Shandong and the imperial court, and as for the management of these magistrates in Shandong, it was tacitly handed over to Liu Qingsong, who participated in the politics of the right part.

Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian coastal defense, sent his younger brother to Jinan Chengguan to talk about this matter, Liu Qingsong also knew that the handsome Li Meng was busy here, and there were guests visiting, and it was definitely inappropriate for him to go rashly to ask for a meeting, and now Liu Qingsong knew that even the glory and wealth of his family might be between Li Meng's joy and anger, and he must not be sloppy in all aspects of etiquette details.

However, at the end of March, Liu Qingsong's family sent someone to Jinan, saying that he wanted to introduce him to visit the marshal and discuss important matters.

The military affairs here are busy, and there are foreign guests visiting, Liu Qingsong pondered waiting for the Zheng family's envoy to leave, and then came to the door to visit, but the envoy sent by Zheng Zhilong was in Jinan, but this time he really ate a cold face, even if Li Meng came back from Laiwu, he asked to see him several times, but he was turned away.

In Fujian, Guangdong, Nanyang, Zheng Zhihu, the second leader of the Zheng family, is also a well-known character, known for his hot temper, but in Jinan, he didn't dare to come out at all, and respectfully waited for the meeting.

Because the Zheng family has already had a public discussion, they didn't see the direction of the wind before, and hooked up with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now they should bet on who to speculate, this Zheng Zhihu also expected to be treated coldly when he came, and he was in various situations, but he could see Li Meng's side and show the attitude of the Zheng family, this is the most important thing, Zheng Zhihu can't help but bear it, maybe this meeting or not, he will decide the life and death of the Zheng family in the future.

I am sure I can't see it here, and the people sent by the Liu family in Beizhili over there are also urging Liu Qingsong to go and introduce him quickly, and the matter in Beizhili is really urgent.

But Liu Qingsong is embarrassed, although this introduction is a trivial matter, but Liu Qingsong, who can climb to this position and will climb to a higher position in the future, is afraid of leaving any bad impression in front of Li Meng.

But the clansmen's urging is really tight, and this matter is really about the life and death of the clan. Liu Qingsong, who was thinking about it, still made up his mind and took the initiative to go to the Qi State Mansion to say his intention to see.

The current Qi State Mansion is just a change of brand from the former Zhendong General's Mansion, and this Li Mengdu is in the barracks during the day, and Liu Qingsong just went over to report it in person. Make an appointment with Rosie the butler.

At this time, the Mansion of Qi was full of guests, and wherever it was classified as the commander of the military affairs of the Duke of Qi, the wealthy families of the local land came to visit, Li Meng was unbearable, and most of the people who came were actually sure that they were safe. And will benefit from the various measures of the Jiaozhou camp.

The reason why I still want to come over to give gifts and say goodbye. It's nothing more than to get acquainted. Follow the cliché rules and curry favor with the new Duke of Qi.

Because of these guests and guests like Zheng Zhihu who had to be treated coldly, Li Meng simply disappeared from all the guests in April. It's no wonder that Liu Qingsong is worried in his heart, for fear that his request to see him this time will make Li Meng embarrassed, and then his impression of himself is not good.

However, Liu Qingsong thought too low about his status, and after he made this agreement, on the third day, the Duke of Qi sent someone to send news, saying that it was summoned by the Duke of Qi.

Liu Qingsong, who got the news, was really proud. The spirit of the wind made his clansman quite surprised, the Liu Qingsong he knew had never suffered such gains and losses, and because of this little thing, he was so radiant, as a more outstanding person from the Liu family, Liu Qingsong was quite arrogant and reserved.

In fact, Li Meng is also adjusting his attitude towards these officials who do not belong to the Jiaozhou battalion system, and with the expansion of territory, more and more territory is actively attached and seized by non-war means. to the officials and clans of this territory. But you can't use all thunder methods.

In the northern part of the Yangtze River, the reason why Tuntian Tianzhuang took the initiative to absorb local clans and local officials to participate in the shares. It is to allow more of the ruling class to occupy the side of the Jiaozhou camp.

Of course, this is also the land of the north of the river and the south of the Zhili River. There are many imperial villages, and because of the repeated military disasters, there are a lot of idle fields, and there is enough land to allocate and resettle.

This is because the Jiaozhou battalion continues to expand its territory, but the corresponding talents can not keep up, the military generals are good to say, the Jiaozhou battalion system can be used to the local civil affairs officials are seriously insufficient, and only by uniting the local landlords and gentry can these seized territories be stabilized.

Li Meng remembered that when he was a non-commissioned officer, the revolutionary history once said that when the People's Liberation Army liberated Shanghai, it had trained and concentrated a large number of cadres in advance, which ensured that the situation was under control and firmly under control. Thinking about my own side, I only pay attention to the training of military cadres, but the training of civil and civilian officials has invested very little energy, I originally thought that it would take a long time to need a large number of civilian officials, and it is not too late to take my time, who would have thought that this was in front of me. People like Liu Qingsong, although they do not belong to the Jiaozhou camp system, and they are not so comfortable to use, they will have to rely on it for a period of time in the future, which is why they are given all kinds of preferential treatment.

When Liu Qingsong and his clansmen walked into the living room where Li Meng was a guest, they saw Li Mengzheng, the Duke of Qi, standing at the door of the living room with a smile on his face.

Seeing Li Meng's attitude, Liu Qingsong's face suddenly turned red, which really explained the word flattered in detail, and hurriedly walked a few steps, knelt down in front of the steps, and said respectfully:

"Shandong Bu political envoy right to participate in politics Liu Qingsong, see Qi Guogong, Qi State public security is good."

The clansman who followed him was stunned, he didn't expect his fellow clansman to be so out of shape in such a position, and he took a step slow before kneeling down.

"This is a private house, why be so polite, get up and talk quickly!"

Li Meng stood there and said with a smile, this time he also captured the psychology of this Liu Qingsong, the children of wealthy families came out to be officials far from home, and they all had the habit of following the clansmen to show off their achievements abroad, and the so-called returning to their hometowns is similar to such a state of mind.

After Liu Qingsong stood up, this was the only way to respectfully introduce his own clansmen to Li Meng, and said:

"Dashuai, this is the villain's cousin Liu Qingyang, he is the eldest son of our Liu family, and the head of the next generation." Xiaomin is really determined to be Liu Qingyang, I have seen the Duke of Qi, I wish the public security of the State of Qi good! ”

Since coming to this era, Li Meng has seen fierce generals and beautiful women, and they are really similar to the film and television media he watched back then, but this talented scribe has never seen any suave characters, or famous, authoritarian and self-respecting, or depressed. The sour gas is very heavy.

It is said that such characters are mostly in the northern and southern capitals and the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Meng either passed by in a hurry, or he has never been there, of course, he will not see such a character.

However, this eldest son of the Liu family's land and the next generation of the head of the family, Liu Qingyang. gave Li Meng this first impression. Yushu is in the wind. Dignified appearance, although this Liu Qingyang is also in his forties, he can't see the common pre-aging in this era, but adds some steady look.

The so-called first impression is the most important, then this Liu Qingyang's impression on Li Mengdi is already a full score, seeing this Liu Qingyang, Li Meng remembered some words he heard before, saying that it was grace and temperament, wealth and temperament. That's not something that can be cultivated in one or two generations, so if you want to see these, you must find it in the family.

But after Li Meng came to this era, most of the children of the family he saw were like pigs and dogs, and Liu Qingsong, who participated in politics right in Shandong, was a capable person, but this round seemed to be a ball, and today this Liu Qingyang really proved this sentence, these thoughts were turned around, and Li Meng smiled lightly on his face. Behind him, he asked for a false invitation to the house.

Liu Qingsong and Liu Qingyang are both thankful. Walking into the house, Liu Qingsong was very thoughtful in etiquette. However, there is some eager and flattering taste, but Liu Qingyang is doing it decently. This calm bearing made Li Meng nod again.

It's really golden, so let's take a look at it......

In this living room, after the teapot and teacup were served, the subordinates just retreated, and the host and guest poured themselves drinks, which is a rule that the Duke of Qi has different from other places, which is also to avoid being overheard.

Generally, when Li Meng saw a foreign guest, at the screen behind him, except for Yuan Wenhong and four guards, there were no other idlers in the entire room.

"Recently, the local expansion has been very busy, and Liu is also very busy in politics, how can I have time to come to the shogunate of this marshal today, this is really nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace!"

Liu Qingsong was really like drinking sweet liquor at this time, the pores up and down his body were all comfortable, he didn't expect that the relationship between himself and Qi Guogong was so close, and he was already so valued, he was comfortable there, and Liu Qingyang, who had been silent all the time, heard Fang Cai's words, but he was picky in his heart.

"Local expansion, Liu is very busy with politics" These two sentences are light, the territory is expanded, and the local generals talk about expansion. His cousin is a political participant in Shandong, and he is in charge of Shandong's territory, and according to the rules, he can only manage the part of Shandong's territory.

These few short sentences of reply really prove all kinds of rumors about Shandong and Li Mengdi, and Shandong's civil and military affairs are all peaceful, which is really staggering.

You must know that participating in politics is a high-grade magistrate, and seeing the nobles of such titles as the Duke of the Kingdom, respectfully calling himself a subordinate official, and usually calling himself an official, this is all in line with etiquette, but Liu Qingsong claims to be a villain, and he is extremely humble.

This Shandong's Li Meng, from his beginnings to becoming a man of the hour, has only been able to follow for ten years, and every step is the kind of ordinary routine, how can he achieve such a point in this declining world.

However, the more it is in line with the rumors, and the more it coincides with the purpose of his coming to Shandong this time, Liu Qingyang gave the people around him a look.

This small action was also seen by Li Meng, watching Liu Qingsong subconsciously bend down and turn around to talk to himself, on the one hand, he felt funny, and on the other hand, he felt a little vigilant, his own situation in Shandong, gave this Liu Qingsong such a position and trust, but he was still loyal to his family.

If it is said that in the future, the interests of the family, the interests of Shandong, and even the interests of the whole country will be absorbed, it is really difficult to say how the parties should choose.

Liu Qingsong had already come to his senses and was ready to speak, and he said earnestly:

"A few days ago, the villain instructed from the official documents that the Changlu Salt Farm near Cangzhou has been in the hands of our Shandong, and the villain's family has always had some business dealings with this Changlu Salt Farm."

In this chaotic year, it is impossible to farm land, even Shandong's Tuntian Grange is not lost at the beginning, not to mention those wealthy families with less power, in order to maintain the prosperity of the family, to ensure a prosperous situation.

Many wealthy families have turned their direction to business and other aspects, and some even take risks to do those prohibited businesses. There are many large clans who have disappeared because of this crime, and there are also some great clans who have made real fortunes by taking risks.

Among the various prohibited trades, there are a few that are the most realistic and feasible, one is to do piracy and trade at sea, but these are all pirates and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene. The second is the sale of weapons and all kinds of important military supplies to the Tartars and thieves, which is also, but even fewer people dare to do this business, which is a conscientious business, and the third is the sale of illicit salt.

This private salt trade has been made big by Li Meng. People all over the world think this is a good way to make money. There is a big deal of ability. has no ability to do it, everyone is showing their abilities.

The Liu family is a big family in Jinzhou, Zhending Prefecture, but this family has been inherited for a long time, and some people have been Cangzhou governors in Changlu, and some people have been salt transportation envoys of the salt administration department.

For several generations, the relationship between this Changlu salt site is intertwined, and it is in the past, and the Liu family has made a lot of money by virtue of the greasy in the official salt. However, after the year of the Apocalypse, due to various reasons, the relationship between the Liu family and Yanzheng became weaker and weaker, and the family gradually went downhill.

Generally such a big family, there is an obvious sign of the decline is to start buying fields, at the end of the Apocalypse and the beginning of Chongzhen, the Liu family's grange in Zhending Mansion can be called huge, but it can only ensure that the income and expenditure are offset, and wait until the famine together. It can only be to lose money inside.

The Liu family is not the type of person who eats and waits for death. Some capable sons have gone out to be officials, but they can be officials individually. To the family, especially to the family who are not in the same place. It didn't help at all, and the thieves swarmed everywhere, and the homeless people everywhere, although they spread everywhere, they were cut off, and it didn't help at all.

But at this time, Liu Qingyang, who was considered to be a useless scholar, stood up, he used the family's strong tenants and Zhuang Ding, and took out the old foundation of the clan to hand over the current principal of the Changlu Salt Farm.

The Liu family is once again known as one of the few big clans in the north, and there is a thriving situation, and the Liu family has been hit several times by the land is related to the entry of the Tartars, and the arrival of the military disaster is extremely sudden, and there is no chance to slow down, which is really a big loss.

If it weren't for Liu Qingsong explaining there, Li Meng wouldn't have thought that this gentle and elegant, like a noble son, Liu Qingyang, would actually have such ability, and he would be similar to his own starting journey.

Li Meng couldn't help but think a lot more highly of this future owner of the Liu family, but why did he come to meet him, he could also figure out this reason, since the other party has a stake in the Changlu Salt Farm, and his side has just taken over the salt farm, it must be reorganized, and it must be difficult to get his hands on it, which is equivalent to being cut off from his own financial resources.

Since he came to find himself, he put things in the open, this style and the appreciation of Fang Cai, Li Meng liked it, and after a deep groan, Li Meng opened his mouth and said:

"It's Liu's family matter, I won't be embarrassed here, Shandong Salt Administration has its own rules, as long as you don't violate these rules, Changlu will definitely be convenient, I will take care of Master Ning's side in this matter, and I will use the Liu family's salt industry as an agent for several provinces in the north, you are also familiar with the land, it must be convenient."

After Li Meng's words were finished, Liu Qingsong and Liu Qingyang glanced at each other, both of them were shocked, what did Li Meng's promise represent, the two of them naturally knew it, this promise was equivalent to that in the future, the Liu family could sell salt goods in Beizhili, Shanxi, and even farther provinces, although the bulk was taken by Shandong, but the profits in it were still much more than now, and this multiple could be described as amazing.

It's just that if you take this convenience, you have to stand on the side of the Jiaozhou battalion, and only when the power of the Jiaozhou battalion expands step by step, can this benefit be in your hands.

How to choose, the Liu brothers quickly made a decision, the two brothers left their seats and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully:

"Thank you for the grace of the Duke of the Kingdom, since then the Liu family is willing to saddle the horse for the Duke of the Republic of China, and swear to serve! Li Meng smiled and helped the two of them up, if you want to win people, you have to take out real money, you have to have talents, this money is nothing.

After Liu Qingyang was helped up, he hesitated, but knelt down again, and said firmly:

"The villain asked to see the prince this time, but in addition to this matter, he had something else to ask for...... The villain came this time to invite Guogong to kill a family. ”

I drank a little wine last night, and it seemed that all the fatigue was hoisted, and after a few words of laughter in a group, I fell asleep, and I slept during the day on Sunday, and I was awake for less than six hours, I was really tired, and it hurt all over my body, and it seemed that I was really tired.

Please see for the sake of Lao Bai's stable update, vote for my monthly ticket, thank you
