Chapter 120: The initial establishment of the barracks

The three hundred people outside spend a lot of money on their meals. As long as they can withstand a few days, they might have to retreat. At that time, they would ask someone to spend money to make peace, and the matter would be settled.

Who would have thought that he would come in so much that he was so devastated that he was not even prepared to beg for mercy, and was carried to the front yard. He was panic and fear left in his heart, and he was desperately trying to use money to ask for forgiveness.

"For the sake of Laojun Tianzun, please spare me. In the future, I will definitely pray for the officials every day!"

Many people respected ghosts and gods at that time. When they heard the old Taoist begging, the powerful children who had never dared to speak helped to plead, saying that they had already taken down the manor and the crime of selling private salt was punished. These Taoists had all had contacts with the government in one way or another, and they could just let them go.

Zhao Neng was also a little embarrassed. Although his temper was steady, his ears were too soft. Although he was very disgusted with these three purity masters, so many people were talking nonsense, and they were all powerful men with no conflicts. Maybe they had to deal with each other in the future and always had to give face.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a long laugh from the gate of the courtyard, and someone said loudly:

"If you cut off such a life-and-death thing, you will cut it off. What's the noise of these people!"

He said this very bluntly. When the voice came from behind, the powerful men were furious and turned around one after another. However, they saw more than a dozen riders stepping across the suspension bridge and entering the house. Their clothes looked the same as those of salt. The anger was immediately held in their stomachs.

I suddenly heard Zhao Neng and Yan Ding shouting with joy in the yard:

"Welcome to Lord Li!"

When everyone heard this, they understood that this was the leader of Yan Ding, the new Jiaozhou Camp garrison Li Meng, and everyone was not sure about Li Ding's deeds. Li Erlang had heard many rumors back then, many of which were related to blood and life. Seeing the performance of Yan Ding team today, it magnified his impression of Li Meng.

Everyone looked at Li Meng, who was riding on the horse, and was naturally awe-inspiringly. In fact, everyone didn't take the illusory chivalrous matter seriously. But today, it is said that Li Meng has more than 2,000 people under his command, which is really scared.

After Zhao Neng asked everyone, he watched Li Meng ride a horse in front of him, and smiled and got off the horse. He couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. He walked a few steps forward and greeted him:

"When will Lord Li come back? If I had known that my brothers should have greeted you."

Although Zhao Neng is older than Li Meng, when he saw Li Meng coming back, he really had a backbone in his heart, but he also said immediately:

"This time I think the matter is urgent, so I pulled my brothers out and hope that sir should not be surprised."

Li Meng had a smile on his face, and he had no intention of blame, but instead spoke:

"You are dealing with this matter very correctly. If you don't come, how can these people know that the world is high?"

This sentence is very harsh. It seems that it is not the Sanqing Temple and minions kneeling on the ground, but the powerful men who follow the scenes and watch the excitement. Although it is said unpleasant, who dares to refute it?

After saying that, Li Meng waved his hand down, and Yanding, who was standing beside the Sanqing Temple Master and the minions, immediately pressed the person to the ground. Regardless of their begging for mercy, he raised his sword and fell. Several heads immediately rolled into the yard, and blood was gushing out, and the yard was covered in blood.

The scene was a little quiet in an instant. Li Meng patted Zhao Neng on the shoulder and said with a low smile:

"If you don't have any examples, you can't mobilize any soldiers and soldiers under you without my orders, unless I have similar orders in advance!"

Zhao Neng felt a stern and quickly agreed. Suddenly he heard the "plop" and "plop" sound. When he looked left and right, he found that the children of the rich and gentry behind him were obviously weak and all kneeling there with pale faces. This time his eyes were full of real awe.

However, no one of the salt dings was busy with these things. Some went to the small main hall to carry statues of gods and dig gold and silver, and some continued to drive the prisoners together.

How bad is the bully who sucks bones and marrows? Li Meng can see from the slave workers who knelt on the side. After the Taoist priest and minions were chopped off their heads, most of them had happy expressions. There were even a few slave workers who ran to kneel aside. Needless to say, this is the so-called bullying of men and women.

The master of the Three Pure Landscapes has established his prestige and gained a good reputation for himself. In fact, he knew about this as soon as he returned to Jiaozhou City. He was not worried that Zhao Neng would personally lead his troops to do something that he shouldn't do, but that he was worried that after all, it was the first time that the enemy defended and attacked us.

Li Meng was worried about something wrong, so he didn't care about resting and leading people to support him. Who would have thought that things would be over after coming and went well. When he came, he had already started to clean the battlefield. However, what made him a little dissatisfied was that Zhao would be too polite to these landlords and squires.

It was quiet for a while, and Li Meng said loudly:

"Salt Administration is a national law. Anyone who sells it privately in my jurisdiction of Li Meng. This Taoist priest who violates the national law will end up. Everyone is a big family in the local area, with many relatives and friends. Please go back and spread Li's rules so as not to have the situation today!"

You are Jiaozhou, Laizhou Prefecture, and the largest salt owl in Shandong Province. Although someone was complaining about it, looking at the headless bloody corpses, these people still knocked their heads down one by one and said they knew.

Some of the salt priests were going to collect the spoils, and some went to the local county magistrate to go through the procedures with land deeds and other documents. Zhao Neng and Li Meng were idle. After Li Meng finished saying that, the two of them were also a little embarrassed, and Zhao Neng said:

"Did Lord Li get anything to do when he goes to Henan this time?"

When he talked about this, Li Meng sighed and said:

"If everything goes well, you can get a net income of 6,000 or 8,000 taels per month, which is not as much as I expected, and it will bring back a trouble..."

The battle of Sanqingguan can only be said to be a unilateral offensive and defensive drill by Li Mengjun, but the effect was very good. After Li Meng's private salt system was established, it gave many people the opportunity to make money, and it also cut off many people's financial resources. However, Li Meng was powerful and no one dared to act rashly.

The team of Yanding is strict and different from those who were rampant in the village in the past. Those rascals have many loopholes to take advantage of, but these salt rods are difficult to buy.

After the original Yanding team was changed to Jiaozhou Camp, it changed from a private armed force to a court army, and then stationed everywhere to investigate and smuggle salt. Many people with erotic minds wanted to take action. After this action to wipe out the Sanqing Temple, news among the powerful local landlords began to spread. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness and overwhelming advantages of the Yanding people were terrified by the bloody heads.

The slightly restless private salt system has become quiet again. However, something that has excited the young people in Shandong who are still from a good family but restless has come again. The Salt Administration Inspection Department in Jiaozhou has begun to recruit salt ditches in Shandong Province, and the number of soldiers reported by Jiaozhou Camp was 2,500.

It turned out that the salt cubes stationed everywhere had to be withdrawn, but the salt cubes in other places needed to be stationed and rotated, and it was not enough to be short of people, so they started to recruit people.

Li Meng currently has an investment of about 15,000 taels per month, spending nearly 7,000 taels of silver on Salt Ding. The rest of the money is used for production, business and reserves. Everyone knows that more people, the power will definitely be greater. The problem is that if there are too many people, food, salary, training equipment, and equipment, you will not be able to train. If there are too many soldiers, you will just gather a group of refugees and bandits who eat food.

This time I went to Henan, although Qingyan's business was done, there was no expected huge profits. The real gain was that when I knew that Wenru Commercial Bank sold it to Henan's private salt market, it was not that Li Meng wanted to grab the other party's business, but that he had always been afraid that the output of the salt farm and salt fields would be too large, which would cause the market to be saturated and reduce the price.

This time I saw that the market is far from saturated, and it doesn’t matter if I increase production and sales. If the output increases, the income will increase, and naturally I can recruit new salt diced rice.

In recent years, the salt gent has already played a very good benchmark role in stationing everywhere, and is the goal that young people yearn for. After the Three Qing Temple, after the promotion of the powerful children, many children of landlords and squire thought it would be decent to do this salt gent.

When he returned to Jiaozhou City, it was almost October. The first thing Li Meng did when he returned home was to lock himself in the room, and he sent a letter to Yan Ruoran, a lady from Yan Zhizhou. The content was nothing more than what he saw and heard during this trip to Henan. Of course, Li Meng did not mention meeting that strange girl.

Six hundred dans of green salt sold more than 6,000 taels of silver in Jiningzhou, which is also a small fortune.
