Li Meng finally became a little interested. Recently, the news from Houshan reported that the salt vendors from Pingduzhou had not been here for a month. He was still thinking about the reason. The Bohai Sea is north of Laizhou Prefecture, and you can also cook the sea and make salt. It seems that you are going to buy other people's salt.

Seeing Li Meng put down the chopsticks and shifting his attention, Ning Gangui felt relieved and became even more excited. It seemed that he had racked his brains and thought about things for a few days without wasting his thoughts:

"Mr. Li, our own salt farm produces a lot of salt. If we produce as much as we sell, we will naturally have a lot of money, which is enough for brothers to spend it. But there must be one first for this sale, so that the salt from other families cannot come in."

Speaking of this, not only Li Meng, but also Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai put down their chopsticks and listened carefully. Ning Gangui was excited, but he still wanted to keep himself calm and said:

"The main traffic roads were stuck and the salt fields in Haicang and Yuer Town were controlled. The two salt fields there were closed for two years when Kongyoudedenzhou rebelled and their vitality has not recovered so far. Sir, we should work harder to make it impossible for him to open again."

Hearing this, Li Meng frowned slightly. Master Ning had thought about what he said, but many details could not be solved at all. Although Ning Gangui seemed to have a clear analysis, there was no specific method to implement it. It was just in vain. While he was thinking about it, Master Ning took out a piece of paper and said leisurely:

"Glue, Weishui, Dagu River, Dabai River, bulk salt freight transportation, human and animal power are all very expensive. The most convenient way is to go on the waterway. As long as we get stuck in the waterway and set up checkpoints to check, the salt goods transactions in Laizhou Prefecture must be in control. As for how to defeat the salt fields in Haicang and Yuer Town, adults naturally have plans!"

"good!"

Li Meng shouted excitedly and reached out and patted the table lightly. He came from modern times and had a big concept of the geography of this era, but there was no way to grasp the details of waterways in detail. You should know that the rivers mentioned above, Ning Gangui either dried up or turned into small ditches in modern times.

As for this bulk transportation, it consumes a lot of manpower and animal power, and the convenient way is to go by water. This concept is really unheard of for Li Meng. When he first heard it, he felt a little enlightened.

The two people next to him heard Master Ning's analysis. Wang Hai had some children's character. When he heard this plan, he felt that the future was so bright. He rubbed his hands excitedly. However, Chen Liuzi's expression became a little solemn. After a while, he said:

"Brother Li, the master's plan is good, but we don't have that many people. There are more than 350 people in the salt field and a hundred households, as well as the transportation of salt, or the number of people in the state city is already very nervous?"

After hearing what Chen Liuzi said, Ning Gangui found that he had not considered so much, and having more people would cost a cent. In the past, inspector Mou spent money to buy maids and maids, and he was unwilling to spend a penny more at all.

The same is true for Li Meng. His salt stewards have money and never owes them. If one person increases, he will spend a penny of money here. Isn’t this inspection seat just to make money? Who would spend more money? Master Ning laughed dryly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Meng speak without hesitation:

"It doesn't matter if there is no one. Let's practice. After the banquet tomorrow, we will plan to recruit soldiers immediately. Oh, the matter of recruiting salt diced."

After saying this, Li Meng seemed to know what Master Ning was thinking, and joked with a smile:

"Don't worry about paying money. If one more person takes up one more place. If one more place is occupied, we will make a lot of money. No matter how we calculate it, we will make a lot of money."

After saying this, the people on the table laughed loudly, and Li Meng said again:

"Lao Ning talked for a long time, you're hungry, Xiaohai, go get a pair of chopsticks."

Ning Gangui wanted to refuse but felt really hungry. Looking at the other party’s sincere invitation, he simply smiled and took the steamed buns handed over by Chen Liuzi, and chewed them all. He threw all kinds of gentleness aside, which was still a bit comfortable.

After taking a few bites, the Ning Master who had just offered his advice suddenly figured out Li Meng's words just now, "One more person will occupy more space." This seems not what a patrol inspector said, but rather it is like a military man in a marching and fighting. Then contact those salted men who are trained by military law, is it...

Master Ning smiled and shook his head as if he wanted to throw this idea out of his mind, and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

The next day, Shaohailou, the best restaurant in Jiaozhou City, said that many customers were sorry, saying that the second floor had been booked and asked everyone to come back another day.

In a small town in Jiaozhou, the only decent place to treat guests and eat is this Shaohailou. It was said that the second floor was taken away by someone, and a wealthy person was immediately furious, saying that someone was so ignorant of the world, and scolded the restaurant and the shopkeeper not to stop him, and the man insisted on going to the second floor to sit on it.

After the shopkeeper of Shaohailou said that it was inspector Li Meng who had a patrolman to take over the restaurant, no matter how bad the temper was, he was silent, and went downstairs obediently, cursing the harshest, and even gave the client some money, begging carefully that he would not tell the inspector Li about this.

The shopkeeper of Shaohailou was also worried because he had no business at noon. I heard that the inspector Li Erlang came here for dinner, and even the street in front of the restaurant was much deserted. However, the deposit was paid very well yesterday. Besides, Jiaozhou City was also a divisive story. Although Li Erlang was a killer, he was also a kind and righteous knight and would not bully the people. It was very reasonable. The shopkeeper of Shaohailou could only comfort himself like this. In the past, the inspector Mu was a bastard who liked to be drunk and cause trouble.

According to the rules of treating guests, the host should arrive first and welcome guests at the door, but before the meal was time, the guests had already arrived one after another.

Shaohailou received officials and businessmen in Jiaozhou City. These people were either rich or noble, and were dressed decently. However, except for two of the guests who came here at noon today, they looked like businessmen, wearing long gowns, the rest were short-padded and rolled up sleeves, and a rough and generous voice. If they were not in broad daylight, they would have to report to the official position. If they were not bandits, they would definitely be robbers.
