Chapter 82: Uneasy, Misjudgment

Therefore, it is not enough to describe Zhang's attitude towards Li Meng as respectful. Zhang's butcher must come to Li Meng's mansion every month to greet him, and pay 10% of his monthly income every month. Although the salt diners do not need this money, he insisted that this is the salt bargain in the casino.

Although I didn't see Li Meng many times, every time I saw this butcher must have knelt down early, kowtowed to greet him, and called him grandpa.

This attitude made Li Meng feel a little sore and awkward, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body. However, although this attitude cannot be accepted by modern people, it is a very normal behavior in this era. He knelt down and kowtowed and called his grandfather. Many people in Jiaozhou City saw officials in the yamen, and this attitude was the same.

Zhang Butcher's business has grown bigger and he wants to open a casino in the city. He first came to ask Li Meng for instructions. If Li Meng did not allow it, it would be like there was no protection. How dare he, a countryman, open a casino in the city?

Seeing that Zhang Butcher Zhang has been respectful and polite for so long, and in the end, Ma Gang owed him money, and both sides were in a position of injustice, Li Meng naturally would not block the other party's way to make money, but just asked him to report to the inspection house in Jiaozhou City.

With permission, the butcher was so grateful that he was about to leave, but Li Meng remembered something. After Tang Laoer, who was found to be reborn, he would ask someone to go back to the Yanding team every day, and the family was in a state of uneasy. Several captains of the Yanding team and the person in charge of Yantian in the salt field were all given Li Meng's instructions that they could not collect their salt and could not go back to be Yanding. Their days were defeated day by day.

Military households all know what the crime is that they are not following orders at the last minute, and they have no face to blame others. Tang Er even said to his family, "

"Mr. Li asked us to kill the officials, that was a matter of rebellion."

Who would have thought that his brother and parents would be scolded by him, saying, "The Jinyiwei will give you food or clothes to wear, and you can have a good life, but it is not the benefit that Lord Li gives you. Ingratitude is really a shame in the family!"

Tang Er trained with the salt diced man with bamboo poles every day. He didn't care whether the salt was collected or not, and gave it to him for free. Tang Er was from the Xue Family Qianhu Office of Lingshan Vatican Institute, and he knew him and the captains of the salt diced man. It was hard for everyone to rush him to see him in this way, but he just felt pitiful.

However, no one pleaded with Li Meng. Now everyone thinks that private matters can be communicated with Li Meng. Li Meng is still so righteous and approachable, but in official affairs, he is so majestic. Everyone thinks that Li Meng is following the rules and never is flexible and lively. The so-called majesty of the superior should mean this temperament.

The following things were naturally reflected in Li Meng. The purpose of establishing his authority was to achieve it. Moreover, the hesitation that day was not as good as the deserter who could not take office on the day, but the Salt Team could not go back, but it was still possible to find other livelihoods.

Li Meng sent someone to call back the butcher Zhang who had just left the house. The butcher Zhang came over with fear and fear. Without waiting for Li Meng to speak, he was already kneeling on the ground. This attitude made Li Meng a little amused and cry, so he said:

"I have a salt diced to you who have been to the charcoal. It is easy to be a guard. You don't have to look at it differently. Just be your subordinate. You can take care of whatever you should do. Rossi will arrange the specific matters with you."

This is considered as Li Meng asking for help. Butcher Zhang felt it was troublesome. This is clearly Lord Li’s trust in him and agreed to him with full promise.

As a guard in a gambling house, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Here, Li Meng also sent someone to notify the salt farm to release the ban and could buy the salt products of the Tang Er family, which can be regarded as a way out.

Li Meng was rewarded and punished, so Tang Er's family was naturally grateful. In the end, this incident seemed to be a happy situation.

The seventh year of Chongzhen was the leap month of August. By September, it was already October of previous years. Li Meng was scrutinized, Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai were severely scolded for not meeting the standards and were punished for not meeting the standards. Now everyone was trembling and did not dare to slack off.

This action made the invited old soldier Zhang Lin still quite puzzled and argued with Li Meng without caring. Zhang Lin, the veteran soldier who had been on the battlefield and had a lot of knowledge, was confused. He thought that in order to fight against Japanese pirates, Qi Jiguang only had a five-day verification, and the officers below practiced every three days. What was Li Meng's practice in this way?

In the blacksmith shop near Fengmeng Town, three or four failed to make the trial fire guns. In the eyes of Liao people like Guo Dong, the fire guns built now can be regarded as powerful tools in the former Liao Town. If each general wants to use them, he has to spend money to buy them in the arsenal. However, in Li Meng's eyes, he always said that they were unqualified. God knows what Lord Li wants.

But every time they were denied and the money was constantly spent. Guo Dong and other Liao people were not at ease. When October was about to enter, they specially invited someone to go to Jiaozhou City to invite Li Meng to come over, saying that there was something that asked Lord Li to see.

The news from Yan Zhizhou, Jiaozhou, said that Miss Yan was still enclosed in the yard and was not allowed to go out. Although the common money sent by the Salt Administration Inspection Office was still accepted, the porcelain was blocked several times. The new Tongzhi Wu Wensong and Li Meng had a very warm relationship, and even Yan Zhizhou was not too cold. The two sides were so stalemate.

When he heard the news from Fengmeng Town, Li Meng had nothing to do in the state city, so he directly ordered all his men and left the city together. Anyway, he always lived in Jiaozhou City for a while every month, and Fengmeng was suppressing for a while, so it was normal to temporarily change the arrangements.

It took only three hours to ride a horse from Jiaozhou City to Fengmeng Town. When he returned to the manor, he settled a little in the town. Li Meng took his men to the nearby place where the blacksmith shop was placed.

Guo Dong and his companions were waiting there early. Seeing Li Meng coming over, he quickly responded with a smile. Li Meng looked at the smiles on these people, thinking that there was a breakthrough in the construction of the musket, and asked immediately:

"Maybe a new musket has been fired, come and see it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Dong and several craftsmen looked a little embarrassed, and then replied with a smile:

"The musket is still being built, so there is something else to invite the master to come today."

Guo Dong waved his hand, and the three of them walked over with a shelf with their hands and feet. There was a pair of armor on it, shining under the sunlight. The armor was placed there as if it was a robotic figure in some modern science fiction movies, and it had a wonderful charm.

For Li Meng, this was the first armor he saw when he came to the Ming Dynasty. Li Meng wanted to see it clearly, and couldn't help but walk forward a few steps. Seeing his reaction, Guo Dong next to him relaxed his mind and said:

"It's so good for the master to know that this armor was made by the young people in their spare time with the remaining iron materials. The master led the troops to fight, and with this piece, there was always a little more security."

The armor leaves of the armor are embedded together to form a complete surface. Judging from the patterns and materials, you will know that they must have strong defense. Moreover, each joint that needs to be moved is well handled, which will not affect the movement of the limbs and body. There are also tiger patterns on the shoulder pads and chest.

The entire armor can be used for combat and as a dress. Even people like Li Meng who are not familiar with armor can see that the value of this armor will not be low.

Guo Dong and several craftsmen were watching Li Meng's actions. Li Erlang, who was usually majestic and self-reliant, seemed to be a child who saw his favorite toy, watching around the armor and groping with his hands. Guo Dong looked at the people around him proudly, and this idea really worked.

The refugee craftsmen in Liaodong who were thrusting here had never created a musket that met Li Meng's requirements. They felt uneasy and always felt that Li Meng was dissatisfied with those who only spent money but could not make things. Many craftsmen took the initiative to help the saltmen repair weapons and go to the salt fields to help work in order to perform better in front of Li Meng. They were harmed and killed by the Jurchen Tartars in Liaodong, and came to Shandong to catch up with Kong Youde's rebellion. In addition, the years have been bad over the years. The Liao people have experienced many life and death separations and have seen too many tragedies on earth. In their eyes, the place managed by Li Meng seemed to be like a paradise on earth and really unwilling to be driven away.

So Guo Dong came up with this attention. In his opinion, Li Meng's desire for excellence in muskets should be due to the military's love for weapons. Since he has never been able to do it, it is better to make something to divert attention. This armor is not the best mountain literary armor, but it is also made by four or five blacksmiths and more than a dozen apprentices every night. Even if it is placed in a large place like Zhili, it is considered a fine product.

Seeing that Li Meng really liked him, Guo Dong was also a little relaxed. He thought that he would not have to be so tight. A horse neighed from a distance. Li Meng, who was enjoying the armor, was stunned. He realized that the blacksmiths were all raised and they were a little looking forward to it, thinking that Li Meng might praise him a few words.

His face was as deep as water. When he saw this expression, Guo Dong knew it was not good, but he heard Li Meng say coldly with anger:
Chapter completed!
