After noon, Manager Lin, who was greeting the guy to serve tea, heard the stairs behind him and quickly turned around to greet him, but saw a young man wearing a half-old short collar walking up. The young man was tall and kind, with a smile on his face. Manager Lin said angrily:

"The second floor was taken down, there was no seat..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth. He saw Master Ning walking behind the young man with a smile. Manager Lin was cold all over. He immediately knew who the person in front of him was. He forced a smile on his face, walked quickly to the front, and greeted him in a stack of voices:

"Mr. Li, please here, please here."

Manager Lin said to Lord Li. It was just now that it was noisy and seemed to be the second floor of the market restaurant. It was immediately silent. The arrogant and unreasonable man was shouting loudly, and at this time, he was all good students in private schools.

Li Meng looked at the salt merchants and salt owls sitting in their seats, smiled slightly, bowed apologetically, and said with a smile:

"Li Meng is here a lot, please forgive me."

With his fist clasped, the people who were sitting there seemed to be a blowout and stood up one after another. The tables, chairs and benches buzzed. The people bent down to give a big gift and said repeatedly:

"It's okay, Lord Li (Erlang) is so polite..."

It’s not that they are so frightened. Now the people here are no longer qualified and have no courage. As Li Meng was given a tribute, Li Meng pinched Yan Lu and had thunderous means in his hands, so no one dared to underestimate him. Anyone who underestimates is no longer in this seat.

Seeing that Li Meng did not mean to make things difficult for him, Manager Lin breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly urged the client below to start serving the food and drinks.

Jiaozhou City is not far from the sea, so there are many seafood delicacies on the table, but everyone present has no appetite for this delicious food. This is the first time that Li Meng has summoned everyone since he took office. Everyone has seen all the methods Erlang Zhenjun has done. Who knows what other great methods are there this time?

But no matter what Li Meng said, these people could only do it. They really couldn't afford to offend them. The corpses of more than 80 salt dicks on the official road were only placed for half a month. Although the weather was cold and it was not rotten, the road was broken for a month, and Yan Ganzi sent someone to gather the bodies and burn them.

Everyone was really shocked. This was the toughness of the knife handle and the wallet was tightly grasped. The big and small salt vendors found that they had to buy salt from the salt bar family. There was no second in the south of Laizhou. This Li Erlang was not only affectionate and righteous, brave and resourceful, but also meticulous in his mind and could not even leak water.

According to the rules at the banquet, Li Meng raised his glass twice, and they drank it dry, and everyone responded. The banquet was a bit like the guests and hosts. Li Meng put down the glass, which was supposed to be a meal. However, no one on the banquet would be greedy for this stuttering food. They were all watching Li Meng. The purpose of this banquet was definitely not just for dinner. Li Erlang, please get to the point soon, everyone's hearts were hanging here!

Sure enough, Li Meng stood up again and said loudly:

"There are many distinguished guests today. Where are everyone salt vendors coming from? If you dare to ask to report your location, start with the brothers at this table."

"I'm in the high-end!"

"In Xiachangyi!"

"The little one is from Anqiu."

"We are from Zhucheng."

Everyone talked about their own places, some were county towns, and some were small places below. It was Wang's turn to be the last one, Kong, two salt merchants, who were proud of their identities and thought they didn't have to stand up and report the place name, but when Li Meng saw Li Meng's eyes swept over, his body stood up involuntarily, and he smiled and clasped his fists and said:

"Brothers are from Qufu. I see you today. I hope you will take care of you in the future."

There are all rough men here. Seeing these two salt merchants pretending to be essays, they didn’t have much favorable impression. Instead, someone whispered:

"Qufu, it's not close to Yanzhou Prefecture and Jining. They eat Huai salt!"

"These two people have almost eaten half of the salt cargo in Lingshan salt in the past six or seven years. They have been shipped to the south. I don't know who they sell to?"

Although these words were silent, Li Meng and Wang and Kong, who were standing in the upper head, could hear it clearly. Li Meng raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound. The expressions of the two salt merchants were not good-looking, and the formation was blue and white. After a little calming, Li Meng raised his hand and pressed it in the air. No one in the room suddenly spoke, and Li Meng said again:

"It seems that they are brothers from the south of Laizhou Prefecture and the east of Qingzhou Prefecture. It seems that the Pingdu Prefecture has not arrived. Speaking of which, I haven't come to my salt farm for more than half a month to buy salt?"

Listening to Li Meng's self-questioning words, someone answered below:

"Mr. Li, I know about this. Laoqiu from Pingdu Prefecture went to Yuer Town to sell salt."

"What is this brother?"

Seeing Li Meng ask, the man who spoke up was flattered and stood up and replied with his fist:

"When I say to Lord Li, I am Wang Zhuzi from Guting Town and I am also doing some small business in Pingdu."

Li Meng smiled and asked him to sit down, looked around, and said loudly again:

"Today I'm asking everyone to come here to tell you something. From today on, Lingshan salt will be one tael of five cents per pound!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the second floor of the restaurant was quiet at first. After a while, it suddenly became loud. The salt merchants of the Wang family and the Kong family looked at each other, and they all smiled bitterly and lowered their heads. None of the other salt dealers and the little salt owls dared to attack Li Meng, and they all told each other about their own suffering.

The Wang family and Kong family in Fengmeng Town originally gave them a price of one or five cents per pound. Although they were acceptable, they also used some small measures, such as adding a portion of silver to collect the salt transported by these salt dealers. This is a copy of Li Meng's old wisdom.

As for other salt dealers, they all get one or two cents of salt goods at Lingshan Salt Farm. Private salt trafficking deducts risks and freight costs. If the cost of these three cents of silver is added, the money they earn will become less and less. Some places may even lose money, but when they argue with Li Meng, everyone dare not.

After complaining to each other for a while, seeing Li Meng still looking around with a smile, Wang Zhuzi consciously put it in close contact just now, and was urging him for a few more words. When his head heated up, he stood up. As soon as he stood up, the room suddenly became quiet, and all his eyes were focused on him.

Wang Zhuzi suddenly felt that cold sweat was coming out of his body, and he wanted to sit down, but when he looked at Li Meng, he could only bite the bullet and salute respectfully first, and then said tremblingly:
Chapter completed!
