In addition to the acquisition, Li Meng and others cannot be idle either. They also have to set up a stove pot by the beach to cook sea and salt, so they cannot be idle.

But what made Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai very depressed was that they said that they were selling private salt together, but in addition to boiling sea and salt, Li Meng asked them to practice martial arts. Although they were military households, almost half of the Xue Family Thousand Households had never touched swords and guns for several generations.

Since the promotion of recruitment, the soldiers who fought in the Ming Dynasty were recruited by generals from a certain place, and the soldiers who paid military salaries for food were the most in the military households to repair cities and fortifications. Most of the time they spent farming, and the rest of the time was for Qianhu and the commander of the guards.

Everyone is a real farmer, and there is any military background there, but Li Meng doesn't care about this at all. He insists on running around the beach every day, or standing still, and lined up in a row. He feels tired every day like a dog, and many people can't stand it.

But no one dared to say anything or withdraw. Although less than twenty people really knew about what Li Meng did, everyone had vaguely heard of some things. Rumors were often more terrifying than the truth. Everyone was afraid that they would be chopped off after they violated Li Meng's orders.

So although everyone did not understand or resisted Li Meng's words, they were still doing them tremblingly. However, what Li Meng did was generous enough. He almost took out all the money he had earned in the past (the income from the salt dirt, the income from trafficking in private salt) and made the grain he bought into dry food for everyone to eat.

Everyone eats two meals every day, but when they are cooking salt on the beach, Li Meng asks everyone to have lunch, steamed buns and pancakes made from grains, and amazingly cheap fish and shrimps bought by fishermen. Everyone must eat enough and cannot bring meals to their homes.

What are you trying to do these days? Isn’t it just to have enough food? Life is harder and tired usually is nothing. It’s much better than being hungry.

Li Meng was also depressed. Money was a trivial matter, and he still had a lot of it. However, the young people around him had a little low understanding. They were just running, push-ups and other daily. They were simple commands and actions such as standing in front of each other, turning right, and teaching them several times, more than ten times, or even hundreds of times, but they still forgot. It took about a month to get a rough idea.

When I was a soldier at the beach, I was assigned to nearby universities as military training instructors. The queues of college students, walking in line, and so on, were already a big deal. At that time, several comrades gathered together and complained:

"I will definitely not encounter any more difficult things to teach."

Unexpectedly, compared to those casual college students, there are so many people that they are. At least they have become very good after one month of military training, but these people have just started in a month.

Especially Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi had privately found Li Meng and asked in confusion:

"We buy and sell salt just to live a more comfortable life. Why are we so tired every day?"

Li Meng replied angrily:

"If you don't practice, you can't beat salt diced and you can't run away. Wouldn't you go to die?"

This sentence immediately blocked everyone's mouth. Yes, the salt diary does not come to Lingshanwei now because there are endless struggles within them. There is still a lot of oil and water, but the spoils are not evenly divided. Who can care about this place? If it weren't for Li Meng's bravery that day, who would have known how big a disaster would have encountered.

Maybe Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi passed the message to everyone. In the future, only people complained about being tired, and no one complained about being useless. Everyone still practiced as Li Meng said.

In fact, Li Meng did a good job. College students in modern military training have initial queue training from elementary school or even kindergarten, junior high school, high school and university. Military training is just reinforcement, and training these farmers almost starts from scratch.

In fact, when European colonists trained indigenous troops, they encountered no less or more difficulties than Li Meng. When British officers trained indigenous soldiers in India, someone once lamented that "it took me half a year to train these natives to distinguish between the left and right." If I knew this example, Li Meng should be content.

In practicing these things, Li Meng initially focused on persuasion and scolding, but these people laughed and didn't take it seriously. A few days later, Li Meng slapped someone in the face and kicked them twice, which immediately had an immediate effect. As a result, a month later, when Li Meng was training, he was holding a wooden stick. If anyone did something wrong, he would immediately slap him. It's really good.

Perhaps it was when Li Meng came back from Jiaozhou City, or later, among the people who knew Li Meng who did not know Li Meng in the Xue family, a rumor gradually began to spread, saying that the fool of the Li family was possessed by Erlang Zhenjun, otherwise how could he look like a broad-minded and courageous person?

People all believe in this day and for a moment, they looked at Li Meng with awe, and there was also a bit of admiration.

Whether it is Zhao Neng, who is older than Li Meng or Wang Hai, who is younger than Li Meng, he feels that he is becoming increasingly unable to understand what Li Meng does. For example, the salt sent from everywhere cannot be mixed with sand. The less grass leaves, the better. He also arranges everyone to enter the city in shifts and wants to tell him about the news inside the city, and the notices outside the city must be understood clearly. Everyone knows the words, but he also has to ask someone to tell himself.

These people have many confused things, but there is one thing I understand. Although these sixteen people turned black after being at the beach for a month, their faces were healthy and rosy, and they seemed to be in a state of walking and doing things. Many young people were very envious.

Whenever they practice at the beach, there are always many children and young people watching, and of course some girls, which makes Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi more motivated to train.

As August approaches, the weather is even hotter during the day and at night. According to Wang Hai who returned to Jiaozhou City, the imperial army has already besieged Kong Youde, who was in trouble in Dengzhou Prefecture, in Dengzhou City. It seems that pacification is just around the corner. However, Kong Youde led the massacre of Liao soldiers inside and outside the city has caused disaster victims.
