Chapter 183 Competition

Hearing this sentence, Yan Zhizhou, who was already forcing himself to suppress himself, suddenly stood up from the chair, glared at Li Meng and shouted:

"How dare you say such rebellious words in the power of the Holy Emperor? Aren't you afraid of being cut into pieces?"

In Jiaozhou, Li Meng was really scruples. He looked at the middle-aged man on the other side coldly, and he was telling the truth. Of course, there was no need to be guilty. On the contrary, after Yan Zhizhou and Li Meng were angry, he was discouraged first, sat in a chair depressedly, and begged:

"Mr. Li has a bright future, so don't make things difficult for us families who are small families..."

Li Meng was immediately furious. He put his attitude to this point, but the other party refused so much. When he came here, he always reminded himself to suppress his temper. After all, this Yan Zhizhou is Miss Yan's father, and it is not good for anyone to argue, but the other party's attitude is too decisive and he is not worthy of it here and there.

He really didn't know what the other party thought. The general was already above the fourth rank, far higher than Yan Zhizhou's grade. In Jiaozhou, Li Meng was not only more powerful, but no one could find any fault in his character and character. It was not bad in theory, but Li Meng never realized one thing, that is, his identity was always inseparable from his private salt.

When I came here through time, I was pushing a cart to traffic in private salt. When I entered the city to serve as a salt administration inspector in Jiaozhou, I killed dozens of former salt inspectors to take office. The following were basically related to murder and private salt.

Since the salt law was prescribed in China, all people who are involved in private salt have extremely low social status. Many salt merchants in Lianghuai have the identities of officials, and are also despised by officials.

As for murder, it is regarded as the habit of a rude bandit. A rude bandit is also despised. Private salt and bandits may even have to be called a eunuch party. Combined with all kinds of things, how can you accept a literati like Yan Zhizhou? If you really want to be a son-in-law, you may not be able to look up among your fellow disciples.

Speaking of which, the storm caused by the two women brought back from Nanjing has not spread to Shandong. This news has not spread too quickly. If the news comes, I am afraid that Yan Zhizhou's rejection at this time will be even more determined.

Having said this, Li Meng was also fierce, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, but his words were stiff and he said coldly:

"Since that's the case, the uncle has agreed to this marriage, and the son-in-law will invite someone to the door soon."

Li Meng thought to himself that we are also a powerful tyrant. Why is it so troublesome to marry a wife? It is better to have some tough methods. Yan Zhizhou was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he pointed at Li Meng with a trembling finger. Li Meng ignored it and walked outside, walked to the door but turned around and said:

"Uncle, don't smash this Qingyu Guanyin. It must be delivered to Miss Ruoran. Goodbye."

Ignoring the reaction of the people behind me, I went out of the house directly. No one dared to stop him anyway. Li Meng had just left the house. However, the wife of the magistrate turned out from the inner hall, looked at Yan Zhizhou sitting on the chair, and looked at the gifts placed on the table, and complained:

"Mr. Li Meng is a genius general at a young age. He is also handsome and has a lot of infatuation with our family. I think it's pretty good."

Yan Zhizhou wanted to speak, but sighed and scolded weakly:

"Women, what do you know? If you have any involvement with Li Meng, the Yan family's family's style will be completely ruined. Li Meng is just a thief who sells private salt."

"The family style, the family style, does not do things that harm the world. Li Meng is also a general in the court and a high-ranking military officer. I heard from the wives of those officials that they are busy with military affairs every day, never messing with them, and doing any dirty things."

Mrs. Yan kept saying that Yan Zhizhou was a little angry, but suddenly remembered what Li Meng said just now, "The world is in chaos, if there is no swordsman... Thinking of this, he was also the destiny of the court, so he naturally knew what Di Bao and Tang Bao said, and when he was in contact with what Li Meng said, he thought of something that he had never thought of, for a moment, he couldn't help but feel chilled.

I couldn't say anything I wanted to say, but I just shook my head and said weakly:

"Women, what do you know? After this term is over, you can be far away from this plague god and live a few years of peace."

Not to mention that this attitude was spread to the back house of the prefect's residence through various channels. Yan Ruoran was very sad and crying for a while after hearing this. Li Meng walked out of the prefect's residence and walked through a street to recover. More than a dozen personal guards were staring at the surroundings.

The house where the Salt Administration inspector was not far from the magistrate's mansion. Li Meng was too lazy to ride a horse. He calmed down, but saw that his subordinates were all looking forward to it in addition to being serious and alert. To put it bluntly, these young people were all young and energetic, and they were all put on their faces and could not hide their worries at all.

"Xiao Hai, what's the good thing about you all looking happy?"

Wang Hai is now Li Meng's escort leader, and Chen Liuzi wants to continue to be the leader. However, Wang Hai is young and can always feel at ease following Li Meng. When he heard his leader's question, Wang Hai said enthusiastically:

"The foreigner has been well prepared and will compete with us today at the school ground."

"That foreigner" means Dunglas. If Father Federer was usually called the "foreign monk". Along the way, Father Federer might have known that he would not have to worry about life in the future and was in a relaxed mood, but his accumulated problems suddenly broke out. Fortunately, it was a symptom of physical weakness. After seeing the doctor, he told some warm and nourishing methods, so there would be nothing serious.

But Denglas is really amazing. After knowing that Li Meng was a big financial supporter, his style made people lose their last favor. First of all, he could eat it, but not care about the exquisiteness. However, it was amazing in terms of greasiness and quantity. Every meal was about one pound of pork, cattle and mutton. He liked fat meat and liked strong liquor. He also claimed to be the Archbishop of the Western Cardinal. He came to the East because of his pursuit of beautiful love and liked to sing the so-called Western poetry that others could not understand. It was extremely unpleasant.

If this foreigner had not been taken in by Li Meng in Nanjing, I'm afraid that the people in Jiaozhou camp would have to attack him in groups. Although it was not easy to take action openly, they always thought about finding a way to deal with him openly. The so-called dispute between axe and a spearman that day became the best reason.

Although Denglas is lazy, frivolous, has no moral integrity, and rarely sticks to something, he never gives in to this axe and gun, and still sticks to his former arguments.

As a result, today's competition came. Li Meng, who was so angry from the magistrate's yamen, also became interested. Yan Zhizhou said that he was a warrior, and he was just asking for marriage with a thorny brow, but when he heard that there was a competition, Li Meng immediately became energetic.

The salt administration inspection houses in Jiaozhou City have been expanded a little, but fewer soldiers are stationed in the city, and the barracks where the soldiers live must be separated from the residential areas, which is also a means to ensure the soldiers' military discipline.

Because there are fewer people, there is a lot of space left in this house, such as the school grounds for the competition. Those who follow Li Meng to Nanjing are the most trusted guards, and they have always been by their side.

Before Li Meng made up the arrangements, the few people brought back in Nanjing lived with Li Meng in the house in Jiaozhou City, so there was a reason for this competition.

Back in the yard, everyone who was not on duty guards everywhere had gathered. Chen Liu, who was out of the city to train troops in Fengmeng Town, actually appeared. After asking, he found out that a few days ago, the foreigner said that spears were not as good as axes and guns, and why did they say that the military pay for spears were lower than those of axes and gunsmen, and the axes and gunsmen were lower than those of musketsmen.

But Li Meng was very interested in what the foreigner said. He summoned long talks several times. The only person who could be called systematic military training in Jiaozhou Camp was Ma Gang and dozens of military families from generation to generation. The rest of the people learned were Li Meng's theory.

To put it bluntly, it is the PLA's grassroots training exercises and the spear technology evolved from bayonet assassination. These things are the spiritual pillars of officers and soldiers at all levels of Jiaozhou Camp.

Some people want to deny this root, and Li Meng was particularly interested, so the people below were a little indignant. With Dengras's identity as a foreigner, many people thought this was a pure fallacy. Their leader was bewitched by foreign devils. Only by seeing the real chapter can we prove who is right and who is wrong.

It was originally a joke that the people below fought alone, but it turned out to be very serious. In Fengmeng Town, all the officers who were of similar status came to watch.

The people below attached so much, but Li Meng has been preparing to propose marriage. No one told me about this. Moreover, the people below were all prepared to teach the foreigner a lesson and then tell Li Meng the result. This must be more convincing.

But it would be nice that Li Meng knew. After seeing Li Meng's permission, the servants didn't need to do it secretly. The guards emptyed a training yard and cleared the bars and stone locks to the side. People watching the fun rushed in. Seeing that Li Meng was in a good mood, he was a little bold, so he just sat on the wall.
