Chapter 300 Bloodborne inheritance The talent of the chief assistant

People hope to be rich and prosperous for a long time. Li Meng is now doing a career that is like a splash in the ground in Shandong. Many people have gained their own position in the military, political and business systems of Jiaozhou Camp and gained many benefits.

In the world of Ming Dynasty, there are no more opportunities for people to stand out and make profits now. They have been monopolized by those who have been officials for generations, whose families are in Jiangnan, or whose ancestors are nobles. The common people, or even the children of small and medium-sized landlords, may not necessarily achieve anything in their lives.

Shandong is sandwiched between two Zhili, where the terrain of the rich and the poor is nothing outstanding, and naturally it is even more dull. Everyone feels that there is no future. As a result, cults, bandits and horses can make a lot more trouble than other provinces in this desperate mood.

It can be said that it was from the founding of the Ming Taizu to the natural disaster in the Chongzhen year. No matter what the year was, Shandong was always in chaos, which indirectly illustrates the emotions of Shandong people in the Ming Dynasty.

The sudden rise of Li Meng Jiaozhou Camp quickly grasped the power of this province. Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, although there were few such amazing people, there were not a single one. After climbing to a high position, he quickly became a member of the old system. He only obtained the benefits of his personal status, but the situation of others was still the same.

But Li Meng is very different from others. In addition to the government system, he also has his own team. Jiaozhou Camp is completely his private army. From military pay to personnel appointments, it is completely decided, and outsiders cannot intervene at all. The governor and the military supervisor are like two puppets and puppets, and they never say much.

In the shogunate of Tuntianzhuang and Jiaozhouying, a large number of literati were served in it, and the outstanding ones received more rewards than normal careers and officialdom.

Similarly, Shandong's salt industry center is not the Salt Transportation Office located in Jining Prefecture, but the Salt Administration Inspection Office in Jiaozhou. Private salt trading and business dealers in various places by Lingshan Trading Bank, as well as caravans traveling to various provinces, which earn higher incomes for landlords and gentry who had only relied on land income to make their living in various places.

In other words, Li Meng's Jiaozhou Camp has a strong enough and loyal army to protect the safety of Shandong.

He has military farms, private salt, Lingshan Commercial Bank and marine trade business, strong economic strength, and can also bring everyone to make a fortune.

Shandong General Li Meng has vacated enough positions in the army, shogunate, civil affairs, and business names to give everyone a chance to make a name for themselves and bring fame and fortune.

With these things, it is enough to get the loyalty of Shandong to him. Li Meng's group covers a wide range of enough. All people from Shandong always consciously or unconsciously work for Jiaozhou Camp. This group already has its own centripetal force.

However, there are hidden dangers in this kind of prosperity and unity. Everyone is willing to be rich and prosperous for a long time. The common people of Shandong and various forces hope to get more benefits in the Jiaozhou Camp system. At present, the way to get more benefits is that this group will last forever and will never be destroyed.

Such a large group, a monster that combines military, civil and commercial affairs, is currently under the command of Li Meng. But after Li Meng, the so-called four generals at this time were all very strong in their hands, and they were all young and powerful.

These days, a minor illness or a little injury will become a fatal injury. Even if Li Meng suddenly disappears, if Li Meng suddenly disappears, who will be the next commander of the Jiaozhou Camp system in a good situation? Ma Gang, Zhao Neng, Chen Liu, and Wang Hai, including other civil and military leaders, have no great talents and only the best talents for the middle-aged.

I’m afraid that once Li Meng was gone, the Jiaozhou Camp will be divided immediately. The current good situation will disappear. Maybe there will be worse situations, such as powerful military generals who are hostile to each other, or are bribed and surrendered by external forces.

In this era, in such a big situation, no matter how poor and humble arisen, I am afraid that there would be a high-ranking person at such a high-ranking position. Although Ma Gang, Zhao Neng and others were loyal, they may not have considered how they should deal with themselves if Li Meng was not here.

Although Li Meng is a talented man, what everyone sees is that only he can suppress this system and make the system expand and grow continuously. However, the people behind may not have such talent and not even have such a title.

This is actually the biggest instability in the Jiaozhou Camp at present, and it is also the biggest hidden danger in the Jiaozhou Camp seen by all heroes.

But as long as all this is born, and after the male descendants, this hidden danger will be solved. The inheritance of the eldest son of a direct blood relative is a way that everyone can accept.

There were no descendants in the past, and there were endless possibilities. This time, Li Meng had a son to inherit this family business, and all possibilities disappeared. Jiaozhouying's foundation had his heirs. Everyone was dedicated to their duties in this system. Only then did the Jiaozhouying truly have his surname.

What the old eunuch said was that the foundation of Jiaozhou Camp was stable, which was based on this.

The Jiaozhou Camp is now a group that combines politics and military affairs. Li Meng has descendants, which is not his personal matter, but his official affairs.

The generals from all over the township were arranged with the most confidant and highest-ranking generals in their army, often the second-in-command stationed in various places, Lingshan Trading Company, and the Weapon Manufacturing Bureau, were directly led by leaders like Hou Shan and Guo Dong. Kong Sande also took a carriage and horse to Jinan City.

After Li Meng held a private banquet in his mansion, he found that the formal celebration could not be so hasty, so he simply asked Luo Shan, Zhou Yang, Ning Qiangui and others to work together to receive guests from all over Shandong.

Since there is no time to hold the birthday celebration, the ceremony and procedures will be set as the full moon ceremony for the children. The specifications and etiquette of the guests this time are much more serious than when Li Meng held the wedding, but the number of people is much smaller. The reason is very simple. There are fewer landowners in Shandong, and a large number of land is concentrated in the hands of a few people. There are less than thirty guests qualified to attend the full moon banquet, but they are all super large landlords.

There are also many fewer military generals. There are no military generals in Shandong now. They are all large and small military generals in the Jiaozhou camp system. There are only a dozen people who are qualified to come here with time.

As for those who are friendly to Jiaozhou Ying, only Kong Sande of Wenru Trading Company and Zhanggui Zheng of Bamin Trading Company. As for the representatives of the Fang family in Yangzhou, the three sons of the Fang family were not here, even though they gave them a heavy gift, they were not qualified to participate in this full moon gift.

It was almost the end of July that the noisy full moon gift ended. Shandong people with status and strength, or who think they have status and strength, came to express their congratulations and gave them a great gift.

Relatively speaking, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu also gave some common things, although Li Meng wanted to invite him, but he did not attend the banquet.

However, the two participating in the political affairs of the Shandong Provincial Administration and the Censorate Office, the Censorate Office, the Jinan Prefecture and the various prefectures and counties, also expressed their respect and gifts to a greater or lesser extent.

According to the rules, the failure of the governor to attend has already shown a certain attitude. Shandong civil servants should stand on the same line, but the prefectures and counties in Shandong ignore the governor's attitude and all pay tribute to the Shandong general. This kind of thing itself is very interesting.

In other provinces, even a prefect can be used to treat the general without any hesitation. However, in Shandong, civil servants have expressed their closeness and friendship to the general, which is very interesting.

The July in Jinan was extremely hot, and Yan Jizu was in his mansion. In the past, King De's ice cellar was secretly used by Lingshan Trading Company. The nobles and high-ranking officials in Jinan were used to buying some ice in the summer and putting them in the house to solve the unbearable heat of the heat.

Governor Yan Jizu complained privately that day that this was a transcendent move. How could the things of the vassal kings be so simple to use, but Lingshan Trading Company had already delivered the ice to the door, so naturally it was not convenient to refuse.

Late at night, the heat was gone, Yan Jizu sorted out and prepared to write a letter to the capital to tell the situation in Shandong. Originally, when the Tartars entered Shandong, their relatives fell, Yang Sichang was convicted of merit and murdered civil officials and military generals. Li Meng gave up his military achievements and allowed him to save his life.

After this incident, Yan Jizu no longer had any intention of accomplishment and just wanted to finish his tenure as the governor of Shandong and then go home to take care of his old age.

However, Shandong General Li Meng had a son, and the attitude expressed by the Shandong people made him feel quite frightened. In Shandong now, I really don’t know that there is a son of tomorrow, but only that there is General Li. If this situation is formed, I am afraid that even if I go home to retire in the future, I will be arrested and beheaded if the matter is infringed.

The only way to shirk responsibility is to report your judgment to the court in advance, or keep it in the hands of a certain important official. If the incident occurs, you can take it out.

"Li Meng, who started out in a small way, was engaged in a lowly career, had no loyalty and righteousness, was like a tiger and wolf, and now Qilu..."

Yan Jizu wrote as if he was flying. After writing some words, he hesitated for a while, but rubbed the paper and threw it into the trash can next to him. He sat there and sighed. After the Chongzhen year, he had never heard of the imperial court killing the general who held military power. Yang Sichang decided to reward and punish the generals who were killed were all because they fought with the Tartars.

But Li Meng had 50,000 soldiers and was all elite soldiers and powerful generals. The court could not move at all. If it were moved, the Tatars defeated the Ming troops in Northern Zhili, and the Tatars army suffered a loss on Li Meng's side and was beheaded nearly a thousand. In this way, the soldiers of Shandong General Li Meng's soldiers and horses faced the Ming troops in Northern Zhili...

Thinking of this, Yan Jizu suddenly shuddered. Although he had no power at the moment, his life was much more comfortable than before. The fields outside the city and the business names in the city all had their own dividends, and the generals were worried about everything, so he was very leisurely. At least his wife and children were happy every day, but his second son gathered with those literati of Lai Party every day, which was not a good thing.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Jizu, who was originally solemn, had a smile on his face. The sound of making updates outside sounded. Yan Jizu suddenly remembered something and quickly took out the piece of paper from the trash can, put it on the light and burned it to ashes.

After Yan Jizu thought about it, it was lively in the general's mansion, but it was all Li Meng's family gathered in a group, thinking about naming the child.

The Yan prefect and his wife of Dongchang Prefecture had already returned yesterday. According to normal operations, it would be almost half a year before the prefect Yan prefecture became the right-sponsor of Shandong Provincial Administration. At that time, it would be more convenient for the whole family to be together.

In the room, there were two girls, Li Meng, Yan Ruoran, Mu Yunyao and Gu Liu. Elders like Liu Fulai were naturally there. The child was just over the month old and was taken into the house by the nanny early to rest.

Li Meng found that his love for his son was far less than that of the other people, especially Liu Fulai. The old eunuch smiled when he talked about the child, and he liked him so much. The so-called "relatives from generation to generation should mean this. The old eunuch has no blood relationship with the child, but he is still so happy, which shows that he really regards himself as an elder of the Li family.

"Husband, I will set Xiaolong's name tonight. The child has no name yet after the full moon. It makes people laugh at him if he says it."

Yan Ruoran whispered that the people in the room smiled knowingly when they heard Yan Ruoran's words. Xiaolong is the nickname of Li Meng's son. I don't know why, Yan Ruoran gave his children such a cliché name. At least the women in the inner house were all well educated.

But the name Xiaolong didn't mean that to others. Prefect Yan advised him a few times, but he couldn't resist his daughter's insistence. He simply ignored it and just told him not to call him like this in public.

Yan Ruoran was puzzled because she really didn't think there was anything wrong with her name, she just called her casually.

People who know this name are not wide in scope, and no one takes it seriously, but some people think a lot.

It's really hard to make Li Meng. This name is completely different from fighting and doing business. I wonder where to sigh when I think about this fact.

"Then call it Li Hong, the great cause of great achievements."

He knew the traditional Chinese way of writing this word. Of course, the people in the room were much higher than his culture. Mu Yunyao spoke out loudly and said first:

"There is nothing bad about this name, it's just not loud enough."

Mu Yunyao is much happier now than before. Firstly, the siege of Kaifeng was untied by Li Meng, and secondly, the King of Zhou sent someone to send him a letter, and some exquisite things. When he came to Li Meng that day, he thought he would never be able to contact his parents again in his life, but who would have thought that he would be reopened now.

Lingshan Trading Company has opened a semicolon in Kaifeng City again, and regular correspondence can still be guaranteed, which can be considered as a person who is happy when he is happy.

Gu Hengbo, Liu Rushi and Yan Ruoran agreed with Mu Yunyao's opinion quite well. The old eunuch sat aside and smiled without saying a word. For him, looking at the happy situation in front of him, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

At home, Li Meng was not as cautious as he was outside. When he heard the names that several girls came up with, he was either a little literary or feminine, which was not suitable, so he couldn't help but stand up and said:

"In life, it depends on the size of his ability. What is the use of this name no matter how loud it is. He can just keep the wealth and glory he has built for him. Now it is not about the quality of his name, but how much I earn for him."

These words were a bit more versatile, but they were full of heroism. Yan Ruoran's eyes were full of gentleness when he heard what Li Meng said, and Mu Yunyao showed an intoxicated look.

Li Hong, this not-so-sounding name, was decided like this.

When it was getting deeper, the girls all dispersed, but the lights in the study were still on, and the close guards received orders, all scattered around the yard.

Listening to the old eunuch's introduction, Li Meng's face gradually showed a solemn expression. Although the so-called handsomeness of a general and the collapse of Mount Tai did not change color, Liu Fu's things were beyond his expectations. After the old eunuch finished speaking, Li Meng spoke in a deep voice:

"Uncle, this matter is too dangerous. If there is a mistake, the great foundation of Jiaozhou Camp may be damaged a lot."

After Li Meng finished speaking, he looked at the old eunuch's expression. There was nothing unusual. After Liu Fulai was taken to the mansion, he was indeed helpful in many things. The civil affairs system of Jiaozhouying, which mainly focuses on military farms, gradually sorted out and began to improve efficiency. The system was much more complete.

Moreover, the old eunuch came from the inner palace, and the inner palace, which he had never been worried about, began to be organized under the guidance of Liu Fulai, and the inner room of the three women of Mu Yunyao became extremely effective.

Everyone outside praised Mr. Li for being aware of people and making good use of them. After connecting the old eunuch into the mansion, he added a prime minister out of thin air, which was extremely helpful.

Li Meng also sighed, could this good person be rewarded? When he brought the old eunuch into the mansion, he really had no official ideas. Who would have thought of such help?

However, when Liu Fulai did such a big thing when he was not around, Li Meng was indeed a little puzzled. After a while, Li Meng spoke again:

"My nephew is just a general in a province. What he does is nothing more than defending the territory and training troops. What is the use of the imperial court's imperial offense? Then Sun Chuanting is the top figure in our Ming Dynasty. Even if he goes to my poor place in Shandong, what can he do!"

Li Meng said one by one, rather than asking questions, it was to explain himself. After hearing this, Liu Fulai laughed a few times and slowly said:

"Our family has accumulated virtue in the past, and I don't know what kind of blessing we have cultivated. I actually met you. On that day, we were both uncle and nephew. I thought we had just a support for each other in the central area. Now it seems that our family is thinking about it. When we enter this yard, we will be happy to see the whole family die here, and we are willing to die here."

Speaking of it, Li Meng was unwilling to make the old man sad and hurriedly said:

"Is there anything I said about my uncle? Although we met by chance, today is better than the relatives of the uncle and uncle, so I don't think too much about it. But this matter is too horrible. My nephew has always been the duty..."

When I was taken to the mansion, I was indeed out of pity and filial piety. Now, Eunuch Liu is equal to the highest consultant of Jiaozhou Camp. It is not surprising that Li Meng can have such a posture. Moreover, the old eunuch has such experience and his own intentions after all.

But Li Meng was a little nervous. For what reason did the old eunuch help do this? Something could be heard from Liu Fulai's words just now. The old eunuch said he would die in this mansion, which means that he would not have any unfaithful intentions and was planning for the cause of Jiaozhou Camp.

But why did Sun Chuanting bring this to Shandong by the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Baoding the day before yesterday, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and one of the top civil officials in the Ming Dynasty.

And it was done in the imperial prison. This behavior itself is bold and can be charged with rebellion at any time.

"Our family started from the lowest responsibilities in the inner palace. By chance, we became the eunuch of the Silijian, and then went to Nanjing to be the guard. We are still worthy of the words "very knowledgeable". Li Meng, your Jiaozhou camp is already a first-class force in the world."

Li Meng laughed a few times and replied in a deep voice:

"My nephew is more dedicated to training troops than others, but his subordinates have a little confidence in their military horses."

There is no need to be modest in front of Liu Fulai. This is the first time the old eunuch talks about this with him. Li Meng is also interested, and Liu Fulai continues:

"You are a good soldier, but the people you command are really average. It's not enough to do big things. Sun Chuanting was either killed in the imperial prison or pulled out and chopped his head. Such a talent ended up being really ruined."

The old eunuch said this as if he was chatting at home. Li Meng trembled after hearing it, but he was not nervous, his expression was still normal, and he asked with a smile:
To be continued...
