The old Yanding was transferred back to Jiaozhou camp to station, the new Yanding was recruited and trained, and the procedures of yamen at all levels were handled. Li Meng's men were busy with all the sales matters of Qingyan to Jiningzhou. Relatively speaking, Li Meng was much more idle.

He practiced horse teams and muskets every day in Fengmeng Town or Jiaozhou City. Guo Dong's muskets were finally built on some tracks. He could find the correct heads with 60 steps and more than 30 muskets that could be used to fight cows with 90 steps. This is also because Li Meng had very strict requirements on quality, so the blacksmiths did not dare to slack off. When the muskets were handed to Li Meng, they had to undergo repeated inspections.

In fact, the power of this musket is not as effective as a battlefield, but the effect is good. At least when the siege of Sanqingguan, the thug raised his hunting bow and hit the person directly from the wall at about fifty steps. Afterwards, the body was examined and found that the lead bullet of the musket did not hit the vital points of the central organs, but the internal organs of the entire chest cavity had been beaten into a vague mass of flesh and blood.

Although there was not much inventory of saltpeter gunpowder, Li Meng still asked every musketeer to shoot several shots. He remembered that when Hyundai participated in live ammunition shooting, there were new recruits who were frightened.

Compared to these busy people, the girl who came back with her life was very comfortable. Not only did she eat and drink every day, but she was still running around under the escort of Yan Ding. It seemed that everything was very fresh. Although Jiaozhou City is a small place, this did not affect the girl's interest at all.

Fortunately, everyone is always very tolerant of beautiful things, with appearance, ability and wealth, which are all outstanding. Everyone always thinks that they should be arrogant and lenient.

Since the establishment of Jiaozhou Camp has been confirmed, General Denglai, who is responsible for this defense and military affairs, must arrange the corresponding tasks. Although there is already a large camp outside the city, Li Meng is still working in the Salt Administration Inspection Office in Jiaozhou City. The official documents and envoys clearly explained one thing, mostly appeasement of the localities and guard against tasks such as situations and trends in a certain direction.

However, there was a task that made Li Meng a little interested. It was said that Jiaozhou Camp was located in the bay hub and should have the responsibility to assist Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei in preventing the disaster of pirates.

When the messenger read this, Li Meng felt a little funny, but saw Chen Liu, Wang Hai and others beside him all had solemn faces. This is what I remembered that Li Meng, who had been in a daze for nearly twenty years, was in a state of disorder because his parents died at the hands of pirates and was frightened.

After asking in detail, I found out that although the Japanese turmoil that shook the southeast during the Jiajing period was quelled, pirates still existed. At this time, most of the pirates were mainly Ming bandits, and there were still Japanese people among them, but most of them were thugs and cannon fodder hired by Han pirates.

These pirates are operating in Shandong, Nanzhili, where the coastal defense is weak, plundering merchant ships or robbing them, which makes the officials along the coast very troubled. However, Denglai has always been a poor place, and even pirates are unwilling to come and rob. The rest of the places have nothing to do with the salt administration, so they have never known it.

Since it was mentioned, let’s take this matter to heart and increase your vigilance in Yantian Yanchang.

In the inspection office, the literacy characters such as the tents and rooms in the inspection office, everyone knows that Li Meng’s hobby is to read Dibao. Although everyone is puzzled in their hearts how a military household knows how to read literacy. If you want to be interested in reading notes and novels, you will see the boring Dibao.

But the people above like it, so the people below naturally welcomed it. After Li Meng returned to the inspection office, someone immediately summarized the reports of the various periods here, and they also thoughtful and divided them into paragraphs.

Li Meng knew that he lacked the ability to integrate the current situation and useful information in information, but he had to keep up with this situation, try to see and absorb it, which would definitely be of some use.

"Cao Wenzhao died in Gansu..."

When I was still recalling who Cao Wenzhao was here, I heard a sound outside, and the sound of brisk footsteps approached here. Needless to say, it must be Zhou Zhujun - she has not said what her real name is yet. The guards in the inspectors' yamen garden didn't know the relationship between this girl and Li Meng, but they knew that the two sides were very close. This was a girl, and she was so close and so beautiful. What was her relationship with Lord Li? We should respect it.

As a result, the following people were thinking randomly, which led to Zhou Zhujun's unobstructed staying in all Li Meng's houses, and he would go there if he wanted to.

When Li Meng was reading the document, who dared to disturb him? That is the girl. The girl should be about fifteen years old. Li Meng couldn't figure it out. Anyway, she asked Ning Gangui's wife to take her out to buy a few girls' clothes. Who would have to run around every day? In desperation, she had to let the girl say that she bought a few men's clothes and put them on. She also found a few women from military households to serve her. She looked like a lady from a wealthy family.

The girl was very beautiful, but she ran around outside. Although the young men of salt had no idea of ​​blasphemy, their admiration for Li Meng became much deeper. Look at our Lord Li Erlang, who went out for a walk and brought back such a beautiful wife. This look is not something that can be found in Jiaozhou City, no, even Laizhou Prefecture may not be.

This kind of increase in reputation was something Li Meng did not expect.

It was indeed Zhou Zhujun who rushed in. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Li Meng chanting in a low voice, "Cao Wenzhao died in battle..." Li Meng was still thinking about it, but the girl over there spoke first:

"Cao Wenzhao, wow, isn't that the most capable general?"

When the girl said this, Li Meng patted her head lightly and remembered that the thousands of households and commanders of the garrison were also reading the newspaper. Their comments were different from those of Li Meng. There were often some useful news. Zhang Lin had said before that the most capable general under Hong Chengchou was Cao Wenzhao.

However, now his relationship with the girl is about friends and family, and he speaks a lot more casually. When he heard the girl interrupting happily, he couldn't help but look up and ask:

"Even if you go to the magistrate's office, you may not know about these things. How can you, a girl, know so much about them?"

The girl immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, but she was familiar with each other, but she was not afraid. She just made a face and came to check the newspapers. Every time Li Meng read the newspapers, it was Zhou Zhujun's happiest moment. Every time she told Li Meng about all kinds of allusions on the newspapers, the surprise on Li Meng's face always made the girl very happy.

Li Meng was too lazy to pay attention to it. He looked at the newspaper and spoke:

"If a child has a conflict with his family, if you have a family, you will not go back to your parents and brothers, and it is no big deal to live with me. Tell me where your home is and let someone bring a letter to you, but there will be no more silent."

The girl's family must be anxious. Li Meng is not short of money to serve the young lady, but this matter is always uncomfortable, but this girl is also capable. The wealthy and noble family's daughter ran away alone and didn't miss home outside.

Who would have thought that when the girl heard him say this, she would immediately pull her face down, look angry, and throw the newspaper hard towards the table, turn around and run out, leaving a sentence "I'm not a child."

Li Meng shook her head helplessly. This girl was really brave. Li Meng's inspection house was full of tigers and wolves with swords and guns, but she was not afraid at all.

While feeling the truth, a salt dick came in outside, and didn't care about salute and came to Li Meng and said:

"Sir, there is a news from Lao Zhang's gambling house, saying that more than 60 people lived in the inn by Xiaobai River in the south of the city. They claimed that they were going to Dengzhou businessmen, but they were all carrying weapons. They asked people about someone who had been to Henan in Jiaozhou recently, and they talked to them quickly. When they heard from the gambling house, they all said that they all had a Henan accent."

"Oh~~"

Li Meng narrowed his eyes. The salt man who came to report the news was a person who had experienced the battle to massacre the Jinyiwei that day. Otherwise, he would not have been so anxious. Li Meng said with peace of mind and said coldly:

"I'll write you a note later. You can take it to mobilize people to stare at them, but don't have the last incident again. If it's cold today, I don't want to catch the cold again."

Hearing these words, Yan Ding nodded with understanding...

The more than 60 people living in the big cart shop by Xiaobai River were carrying several ships of cart, all of which were specialties from Henan and Shaanxi. At first glance, they were really businessmen, but these people smiled too fake and looked like they were squeezed. However, neither the owner nor the guy in the big cart shop would care about this, just make money.

Moreover, in order to serve these people well, the shopkeeper of this car shop specially hired a few guys. These guys are busy in front of each other and feel comfortable serving them.

After staying for a few days, these merchants loaded the goods onto a large truck and had to live in Jiaozhou City for a few days. According to these Henan merchants, check whether these goods can be sold in shops in Jiaozhou City, so as to save them from running far away.
