Chapter 92: Right and wrong Not embarrassing

As soon as he said this, Zhou Juren was a little more energetic. He seemed to have considered it and immediately replied:

"No name and no share, the ninth-rank inspection is only responsible for checking and smuggling salt. If there is really something big, even if the salt cube is sophisticated, what do you use to mobilize the command? If others have a great reputation, it is still unknown who the salt cube belongs to; without roots and no foundation, Brother Li, you are currently rich in food and salary, but this method of selling salt and raising soldiers can only take advantage of loopholes in the years when the chaos is not chaotic. If the world is in chaos, it is only for the sake of filling the stomach, who will pay attention to the indifferent and salty salt."

Li Meng understood this theory very quickly. All revolutionary wars mentioned the importance of base areas. Only with base areas can there be continuous supply and source of troops, and the ability to continue war. Army without base areas is duckweed, which cannot withstand wind and rain at all.

"Oh? Mr. Zhou means base?"

"Base? Brother Li is indeed a talented person. This is exactly the place where he is based!"

"Is it not possible to be in this Jiaodong?"

After Li Meng asked this sentence, Zhou Yang and Zhou Juren were stunned at first, then laughed and said:

"Not to mention Jiaodong, this place in Qilu is just peaceful and peaceful. It's okay to raise bandits in troubled times. Raising soldiers is a dead end. Except for Jinan and Yanzhou, Qilu is full of barren hilly lands. There are no mountains and natural chasms around, thinking it's dangerous, surrounded by sea on three sides, and there are dead everywhere."

Speaking of this, Li Meng should have stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Sir, can you help me with the king and domineering matter?" Then Zhou Juren shook his feather fan and made it reserved, which would be perfect. Although the scholars of the Ming Dynasty verbally disdained the market novels like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they actually read it all very well. The scholars talked about Liu Xuande's three visits to the thatched cottage and Zhuge Kongming's feather fan and scarf, thinking about when they would meet the wise master, like a dragon entering the sea, and showing their actions. Zhou Juren is also unavoidable. He probably was hoping that Li Meng would get up.

When I saw lunch, the training in the yard was about to rest, more than a dozen leaders shouted in succession:

"Strait in the same place!! Stand solemnly!"

Hearing the footsteps outside sounded rapidly, and then there were yelling in succession:

"number."

The sounds of salt dice sounded loudly, which was to check the number of people after the whole team. Everyone was full of energy and shouted loudly. The sounds one after another interrupted the two people who were talking loudly in the house for a moment. Listening to the commands and exercises outside, he calmed down after the sound of "Disast, gathering in an hour later".

The topic was interrupted, but it was not easy to mention it again. After Zhou Juren calmed down, he suddenly woke up. What he said just now was a serious crime of beheading the head and scouting the house and destroying the nine clans. Why did he say it so unscrupulously today? The only thing that could comfort him was that Li Erlang, who had always had a reputation of being strong and chivalrous in the market, should not reveal anything.

But even though he thought so, Zhou Juren's back was still soaked in cold sweat. Looking at Li Meng opposite him with a look of indifferent expression, Zhou Juren even complained about his excessive words and nonsense. The quieter he was, the more embarrassing he became. He always had to say something.

Li Meng's feelings were not much better than Zhou Juren, but he didn't know what to say. What the other party said just now did explain his own questions, but these questions and his original purpose were known so early, which was not a good thing. And no matter what, at this time, he was the powerful local tyrant in the southern part of Laizhou. He was placed in the world like an ant, and he still needed to grow and strengthen himself.

However, Zhou Juren can understand his thoughts, which is more experienced than Zhou Juren. I believe he can understand them. The reason why no one cares about them is that if there are not too many people in the world like him, or if everyone is too lazy to care about them, there is another possibility that Li Meng dare not think about it, that is, someone noticed it and was ready to care about it.

In the room, the awkward calmness was broken by Li Meng's mouth, and Li Meng said slowly:

"I invite Mr. Zhou to come today because I want Mr. Zhou to be a matchmaker for Li to propose marriage..."

After a long quiet day, Zhou Yang laughed dryly and replied:

"But I don't know whose girl Brother Li is interested in?"

"Yan Ruoran, the daughter of Yan Zhizhou."

The conversation at this time is actually more embarrassing than the whole world just now. In this era, marriage matters are focused on the fate of parents and the matchmaker’s words. Even if both Li Meng’s parents die, he should find a few elders to join in. It is really strange to sit there with such a big golden sword and talk about it.

Moreover, Yan Zhizhou's daughter's name is a girl's private affairs, so how could she say it so casually? Zhou Yang felt rude even when he heard it. Fortunately, Li Meng seemed open and honest when he said these words.

However, Li Meng and Yan Zhizhou's family were too disagreeable. Zhou Yang had already returned to peace and hesitated and said:

"I'm not afraid that Brother Li will not like it. I really don't have much confidence in this marriage. Zhou said nothing, the Sun family and Xu family in Laizhou Prefecture are both big families, and they will definitely have great help in marriage with them. Moreover, they are all local gentry and families that match the family."

Li Meng stood up with a smile, avoided Zhou Yang's words, and solemnly bowed to Zhou Juren, and said:

"Li really can't find a respected person who is willing to talk about friendship in this Jiaozhou City. He just thought that Juren Zhou, you are eager to be righteous, and maybe you are willing to help this, please."

Seeing Li Meng's attitude, Zhou Juren quickly stood up. Although there was a look of embarrassment on his face, he still replied with a smile:

"Well, Zhou will try it, you can win the magistrate's guild."

Both sides were deliberately avoiding the topic just now, especially Zhou Juren, who was sweating all over. He felt that he was really passionate just now. The other party didn't say anything, so why did he say so much first? Every sentence is the crime of raiding the house and extermination of the clan!

After a few more gossips, Zhou Juren was unwilling to be at a loss. He stood up and said goodbye to Li Meng. Before leaving the door, he suddenly spoke to Li Meng:

"Today, we come to the Youth Department. You and I only talk about proposing marriage with the magistrate's family, but that's the case?"

Li Meng was stunned and then laughed. Of course he understood what the other party meant, and nodded quickly to confirm. When Zhou Juren heard Li Meng say this, he felt relieved, but he was also a little disappointed. He said so much passionately, and he was so charming that he looked at the blind man.

Wang Hai led Juren Zhou out of the mansion in front of him, and only took a few steps. He heard Li Meng say loudly behind him:

"Today, I have a happy heart when talking to Juren Zhou. If you have the chance in the future, I will ask the gentleman to come to drink and taste tea."

When he heard this, Juren Zhou shook his whole body and his face suddenly turned red. He turned around and bowed deeply with excitement, and then walked out strode.

The next day, the news spread in Jiaozhou City. Zhou Yang, a new juren from this prefecture, visited Li Meng, the salt administration inspector, with a very respectful and polite attitude. The two sides had a happy conversation. Li Erlang's reputation suddenly rose to the local level. There were also some rumors about the government that Zhou Juren came to visit Yan Zhizhou. The juren was very polite to ask the juren to come to the inner hall to talk, but it had not been too long. Yan Zhizhou, who had always been gentle, actually roared.

Although the yamen runners were driven away, the angry shouts still reached everyone's ears, and they couldn't hear the details clearly. It was the saying "No". Everyone could understand. Soon after, Zhou Juren said goodbye with an embarrassed look on his face. The news was not widely circulated, which was among the people involved in the yamen.

Juren Zhou did not come to tell Li Meng the result in person, but just asked his family to send a message. The above four words "having a negative entrusted". Faced with this result, Li Meng could only smile bitterly.

Things always make people feel strange. The day after I got the news, the head of the yamen came to the door politely and said:

"The magistrate asked Mr. Li to go to the yamen to discuss matters."

The magistrate is civil affairs, and the inspector is salt affairs. There is no intersection except for the money given for convenience every month. However, the situation is a bit strange this time. First, he used the word "please" and sent out the yamen's tutor rather than his family, which means he asked to go over to discuss official matters.

Li Meng thought about it all the time, and the day before yesterday, the client came to propose marriage, but he really didn't contact the rest, but he didn't need to worry about this city of Jiaozhou. Li Meng knew what everyone was doing every day, and there would definitely be no danger when he went there this time.

Invited each other in the morning, and in the afternoon, Li Meng led a few of his close friends to the yamen. Although he thought he had met an acquaintance at the door, Zhang Lin, the riding coach of the salt dynasty, now it was spring farming. Zhang Lin asked for leave and said that he was going back to work on farm work, but today he met him in the magistrate. There was only one explanation.

Zhang Lin was not as respectful as the salt diners in front of Li Meng, and shouted from a distance:

"Li Erlang, the old man accompanied Lord Su into the city today. He had never used breakfast yet. So let's arrange a place for us brothers."
