When Li Meng heard this, he chuckled and took a sip of tea. Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai, who were standing behind Li Meng, looked at each other, but they couldn't hide their complacentness. Anyone who sells private salt or manages salt administration in Jiaozhou City must consider the hundreds of bamboo poles. The salt dealers from all over the country were pierced with blood holes and were thrown to the roadside and waited for death. They thought it was very majestic.

"At present, the new officers who come out to be an official must borrow money to take office first. When they are in office, they have their own financial resources to repay their debts. Apart from some common money, the largest amount of money is the seasoning money given by the inspector when he took office. Now that the inspector has died, the money cannot be taken out. The family of the governor has just come here again. I wonder what the embassy is like?"

After saying that, Manager Li laughed at first, and had no respect for the newly appointed governor.

"Oh? How much is the seasoning money?"

Li Meng finally couldn't help asking, and Shopkeeper Li didn't think too much and said with a smile:

"Five hundred taels of silver, this magistrate is afraid of being worried about this amount. Yesterday, he drank with Zhang Dianshi in the yamen and said that the magistrate spoke, whoever took out the five hundred taels would be the inspector's position..."

Manager Li sneered again and said with some contempt:

"This official is decent. It really makes the court look so shameful."

Seeing the noble and arrogant official making a fool of himself, no matter who he was, he felt a little gloating. Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai couldn't help but laugh there, and found that Li Meng was holding a teacup there and didn't know what he was thinking. This was the hurried cover of his mouth.

Manager Li laughed a few times and saw Li Meng's condition, and he also stopped talking awkwardly. The room was quiet. After a while, the tea in Li Meng's hand was almost cold. Suddenly, Li Meng put the tea cup in his hand on the table. With a "touch", he was so scared that people around him jumped. He stared at Manager Li and said:

"Shopkeeper Li, I'll give you five hundred taels. Can you help me get this inspection position?"

Manager Li was startled by this sudden request, hesitated for a moment, twisted his beard with his hand and whispered:

"This, I'm afraid..."

"What about six hundred taels? What's left is the benefit of the shopkeeper."

The naked benefit suddenly shocked the shopkeeper. Even the prefect's salary was only eighty taels per year. The new magistrate urgently needed money, and the local salt administration inspection was left without anyone's interest. The deal that gave gifts to buy officials on behalf of others was at least one hundred taels of silver left.

What's more, the forces outside Jiaozhou City are now the largest salt rod. It is also very beneficial to please General Li Meng's business from home. After hesitating, he said with a smile:

"I thank Li Erlang for his respect, so let's ask someone to try it, but this position requires some personal documents..."

Manager Li thought Li Meng was a hero in Green Forest and was not a good person. Maybe he was wandering from other places, but he didn't expect the other party to answer like this:

"It's okay, I have the general flag of the Xue Family Qianhu Office of Lingshan Pacific Institute here, and I'll use it for the shopkeeper."

"...It turns out it's Lord Li, I'm so disrespectful!"

In February of the sixth year of Chongzhen, although there were small groups of riots at the junction of Qingzhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong, the entire Shandong Province was filled with joy. Kong Youde, the Liao general who had been in trouble in Denglai area in Shandong for almost two years, led his troops to sea. The rebellion was finally quelled.

The governor, governor and officials at all levels submitted memorials to praise the emperor's sage virtues. Naturally, they said that without the command of Emperor Chongzhen, there would be no such great victory.

In this celebratory atmosphere, no one noticed a small appointment in Jiaozhou, Laizhou Prefecture. Li Mengde, a military clerk, was both talented and there were always people in the Wei District. The major plan of the salt law was the foundation of the country. Li Meng was appointed as the inspector of the Shandong Salt Administration Department in Jiaozhou and took office today.

The entire Xue family's Qianhu Office was shocked. Not only did the people who joined the salt bar, but even the other hundreds of households, Qianhu, gave gifts to express their respect. The commander of the Lingshan Guard Office also sent people to greet him. Although he was a ninth-rank official, everyone saw the might of King Mou at that time.

The men under Li Meng looked more elite than the commander's servants and soldiers. There was a large piece of salt field producing salt. It would be certain that they would be more powerful than the king of Hell in the future.

Li Meng was not vague and set up a sauna in the west village of the Qianhusuo of Xuejiao to have a big banquet. However, although the food quality of the young men from the salt transport team and the salt boiling team improved significantly, they did not give the food to the table and were still practicing at the beach.

Originally, those who dared not join because of the risk of trafficking in private salt wanted to come over to work. The salt field must have a lot of people. Li Meng refused and took them in. At the same time, the 160 young men from the salt-cooking team who were also working on salt at the beach only had practice left for daily work.

On the first day of March, Li Meng went to Jiaozhou City to take office. When everyone sent a few miles, they were also "reluctant to leave"...

This time, Li Meng led the salt rods to the official road. The function of this road is to connect the sanitary station, Lingshan Salt Field and Jiaozhou City. The salt is sold and smuggled. The sanitary station has become a farm. There is no one to interact with this official road, so Li Meng and the 150 salt rods behind him are quite conspicuous.

Zhao Neng is the only one who was allowed to go to the table and drink. He was still a little swaying on the road. He was obviously not awake because he was a hangover and walked out for a few miles and couldn't see the person behind him. He couldn't help but ask Li Meng and said:

"Brother Li, oh, Lord Li, is it necessary for us to bring so many people out?"

The salt rods followed behind him were lined up in five rows. Although the queue practice had only been carried out for a few months, it had already achieved results. One hundred and fifty people were walking on the road with bamboo poles solemnly, very neatly. Li Meng smiled and asked Zhao Neng:

"Remember the three former salt diced leaders came a few days ago?"

Zhao Neng shook his head and said with some confusion:

"Of course I remember, don't we let them disperse themselves and don't let these things harm the people?"

Li Meng laughed in a low voice, and then said for a while:

"These guys have no other ability than harming the people. If they don't do salt, they can only be bandits. How could they be willing? There are people in Fengmeng Town and Jiaozhou City that have been spreading news. Recently, more than 150 people gathered in Fengmeng Town, saying that they would intercept me halfway."

After hearing this, Zhao Neng was shocked, and his hangover's drunkenness turned into cold sweats. He asked hurriedly:

"What!? Then we still go this way!!"

Li Meng gritted his teeth and smiled:
Chapter completed!
