The reason why it was so hasty was that the salt dealers attending the party were in a hurry that day, saying that the sales of Lingshan salt gradually declined. Because the local area gradually stabilized, the salt in Yuer Town and Haicang began to increase its output, and the salt in Changlu began to enter the Denglai area.

After the four salt sanitation teams were sent out, several key water and land passages were firmly controlled. You should know that the semi-bandit-like salt peddlers could not confront the military organizations like the salt sanitation team. After several conflicts, they all shrank back.

As for the two salt fields in Yuer Town and Haicang, Li Meng sent people to block the door and sold them publicly. Everything was followed by the rules of Lingshan salt. And for not too long, a private salt field was opened between the two salt fields, and the stoves that boiled sea and salt were dug from these two places.

In August of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the private salts in Laizhou Prefecture, west of Dengzhou and east of Qingzhou were all under the control of Li Meng, except for some small-scale solo investors.

Although it is midsummer in August, Fengmeng Town is very close to the sea, and the summers in recent years have been much cooler than before, which is better. On the official road leading to Jiaozhou City in Fengmeng Town, hundreds of people gathered on the side, looking in the direction of the city, as if they were waiting for something.

Standing in front was Hou Shan wearing a long gown. He was a little fatter than when he met Li Meng for the first time. His waist was straight and he looked very grand. Behind him was the shopkeeper of the Kong Salt Stage of the Wang family. If it were placed in the past, there would be no position for Hou Shan to stand in front of these two shopkeepers of the salt Stage. At this time, these two people would stand behind Hou Shan.

Later, Guo Dong, a Liao nationality who was rescued by Li Meng a month ago, is no longer as desperate and numb as the victims, and is quite energetic. Later, people from either private salt or Li Meng are waiting there.

It was almost noon, and a sharp-eyed person saw it from afar and shouted:

"Mr. Li is here, Lord. Li is here!"

Everyone who waited here for a long time was thundering, some wiped their sweat and tidying up their appearance, and some shouted that the people around them were busy. Although they saw people, it took a long time before Li Meng arrived.

Li Meng is much stronger now than when he first came to this era (in the eyes of these people around him, he just restored his mind). He was still wearing a half-old cloth robe. The four captains and Master Ning repeatedly advised Li Meng to wear silk and satin. Now he has enough money. Why not treat himself so harshly? Li Meng always refuses. Everyone thinks that Li Meng will not forget simplicity after his wealth and honor, which is the style of heroes.

In fact, it is not that complicated. It’s just that Li Meng feels that wearing this outfit is quite similar to the previous uniform, and the movements are also convenient.

Li Meng, who is usually agile, is a little funny at this time. He rode on the horse carefully, looking afraid of falling off. It is difficult for him to say that. In modern times, even if Li Meng goes out to play, he doesn’t have the chance to ride a horse. But in the Ming Dynasty, riding a horse is the fastest way of transportation, so he has to learn it.

But this month, I have practiced riding skills, so I look so cautious when I leaned on the horse. Although this is funny, one of the people present dared to laugh and bowed one after another. Guo Dong and the Liao people behind him knelt down and kowtowed. The identities of these Liao people are Li Meng's slaves, and they must bow like this.

After Li Meng got off the horse, he smiled and nodded at the two salt storekeepers, and then walked in front of him. Hou Shan hurriedly followed and said in a low voice with a smile:

"Wouldn't it be better for Mr. Li to live in the city? Although living in this village is his own place, it is not as good as the city!"

"First arrange meals for those salted men who follow me. What are you doing in the city? There are high walls all around. Although it is convenient, it is convenient to lock people in when you reach the important point!"

Hou Shan didn't understand, but just responded with a smile, and was not going to ask more questions. Li Meng didn't want Hou Shan to understand. After all, there was a difference in identity and closeness. The captains were called the master and the elder brother, but Hou Shan was called the master, and the difference was quite big.

Li Meng now has more than 700 people under him, and he spends a lot of money on these people. It is not the method of exploiting them layer by layer, but the way of training and paying wages in the army. The salt administration inspections of the entire Ming Dynasty are almost the same. There is hundreds of villains under his command. No one can say that Li Meng does this, but it is too abnormal after all. If someone is caught by someone who is interested.

Once the city gate is closed, it is really hard to fly. Although Li Meng gave money to each yamen every month - Master Ning is good at doing such things, he is just giving away the money he should give, not having a good relationship with the prefect and bureaucrats at all levels.

If someone in the prefecture city wants to plot against Li Meng, Li Meng will only be caught off guard, and the people who plot against Li Meng will only be related to the government.

But after coming to Fengmeng Town, Li Meng was clear about the movements of the surrounding villages. Moreover, the transportation is convenient, with all connections and extremely free movement. It is only half a day away from the Zhoucheng and the salt field, and it is free to advance and retreat. It is also against the Lingshan Guard Station, which is also the foundation of Li Meng. But these words will not be said to Hou Shan, but it is just that the village here will be built and easy to live.

After a few polite words with the others, Hou Shan, Guo Dong and the Liao people surrounded Li Meng and walked towards the manor, saying that it was a village, that was, there was a circle of courtyard walls outside. The one that was truly decent inside was Li Meng's residence, a small courtyard with two entrances, and the manor was a unique courtyard.

Fengmeng Town has barren land and the fields are not valuable. Although this land is large, it does not cost much money. In addition to Li Meng's small courtyard, there are many houses under construction by Liao people and shacks where they live now. They are in a mess. It is estimated that it will not be busy until October, so there is enough manpower and materials.

After entering the manor, Li Meng looked around and went straight into his yard. Others thought he was going to rest, and that was, he was busy with his own things and no longer disturbed him.

After lunch, the people were not strict, so the Liao people were used to going out for a walk or sleeping for a while. After working hard for a few years, they could enjoy a rare rest. Guo Dong walked into Li Meng's courtyard with a long bag. After entering, he carefully closed the door.

Who would have thought that when he turned around, he found two salted dicks staring at him with their waist knives and asked coldly:
Chapter completed!
