Chapter 342: Someone’s Secret Sheng Jing

The Lijin Bureau supervised this position as a new position, and Lijin is a brand new thing, and the name of supervision has never existed in ancient times. The Lijin Bureau was first established for several months, but the wealth caused countless people to be stunned.

Kong Sande has been in business for many years and is a powerful tycoon in Jiningzhou. He has been engaged in land and water trade for a long time. Naturally, he knows how much money can he earn when setting up a checkpoint at a hub like Jining.

However, he had no delusions about this Lijin Bureau. His idea of ​​coming to this restaurant this time was nothing more than being trapped with Li Meng. His money is exaggerated to say that it is as numerous as a mountain. He is also a pragmatist. He is a visible and tangible person. He is really extravagant and desireless, but he is not like many rich people who spend money on nothing like those who donate money and donate nothing like the rich. Even if he is so extravagant and desireless, he will never spend all his life.

He is not a person with great ambitions, nor will he "get Long and look forward to Shu again, but people are not satisfied with their hearts." What he lacks now is just to have a powerful person to ensure his safety and be a rich man safely. This is enough.

Of course, on the ground in Shandong, who else can this powerful person besides Li Meng? Kong Sande feels that the most wise and decisive thing he has done in the past ten years is to make friends with Li Meng in advance.

Therefore, even if the position of Wenru Trading Company was deprived of the position of chief of Wenru's trading company by the Confucius Mansion, no one dared to make an idea of ​​the wealth he had accumulated. Knowing that it is normal for people to fall down and push the walls after a person loses power. If the powerful elders of Yansheng Gong or the clan leak a little bit of it from his mouth, or even if they don't help him when they fight with others, then there will naturally be many people who covet his property, and they will rush over and bite him like a fly sees blood. It is a good thing that the family's wealth will be ruined, and it is a big deal that the family's life will not be safe.

But everyone at the moment knew that Kong Sande had a good relationship with General Zhendong and drove him out of the position of the head of the person in charge. However, they did not dare to do anything further.

However, Kong Sande said that he wanted to enjoy wealth at home, but his days in Wenru Business for many years, he suddenly became a leisurely person who was full of food and was doing nothing all day long, and even had no interest in sleeping with his mother. The gap and loneliness in his heart were only experienced by himself.

There was a saying in the West a long time ago that "power and status are the true elixir of immortality." This statement is fulfilled in the East and the West. The hundreds of years of inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, those who are in high positions have vitality that their peers are not as good as those of their peers.

Kong Sande came to this restaurant, making jokes and making a fuss, but in fact he was not feeling well. Of course, what caught him off guard today was that Li Meng gave him the position of "supervisor of the Li Jin Bureau". This sentence fell into his ears like a thunderclap. Even more shocking than hearing Li Meng sneak attack Liu Zeqing that day. He originally felt that he had known Li Meng for so many years, and his concentration had increased greatly. Even if Yan Shenggong came in person, hugged him and cried bitterly, saying that he was the real father of Sandezi. If Sande inherited the title, there would be no fear. But Li Meng always had that unexpected and invisible ability.

He is in charge of the Lijin Bureau. Businessmen in the north and south of the world have to act according to their own eyes. What kind of status is this? The original name of Wenru Business Store's shopkeeper is nothing compared to this, which is just a small bed bug that you pinch with your fingers.

After tears of gratitude, Kong Sande, who was sitting there, could not sit still, and thought about it quietly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt excited. As for sitting in this position, those possible consequences would become public enemies of merchants in the world, be attacked by scholars in the world, or be opened to the Confucius Mansion and left the family, nothing important.

If I were in this position, what should I do? How to avoid missing the canal ships. How can I avoid the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes? Kong Sande was thinking about this in his mind. His fat body swayed back and forth on the chair, and the chair creaked.

He didn't bother to talk to Li Meng. Seeing this big boss' appearance as a child today, Li Meng couldn't help laughing and said:

"Okay, you can't sit still. I'll have a guest later. You and Shopkeeper Zhang go down to find Yuan Wenhong. If you feel itchy, go to Lijin Bureau for a walk today."

Hearing Li Meng's words, Kong Sande stood up from the chair in a hurry. The accountant who had not gone downstairs stood beside him, waiting to lead the way.

Kong Sande bowed to Li Meng, turned around and was about to go downstairs. When he walked to the stairs, he seemed to remember something. He hurriedly walked towards Li Meng, approached him and prepared to speak in a low voice. Li Meng smiled and said:

"There are all family members upstairs, just say yes!"

"I originally came to see the Grand Marshal today, except for greetings, but I was excitedly forgetting that Grand Marshal, Yan Shenggong, had sent a letter to the capital a few years ago. I heard the drunken news from the servant of the Second Prince Kong Side, saying that the letter agreed to the marriage request of the Minister of War Chen Xinjia."

People who understand don’t need to explain too much. Having said that, everyone understands why the things that happened during this period have come. Looking at Li Meng pondering, Kong Sande thought the other party was blamed, so he quickly explained:

"I only learned about this news the day before yesterday. The confidant below was familiar with the people in the mansion. Drinking and making accusation, you also know that Xiaodi was taken away from the position of the head of the person in charge. Now when you enter the mansion, you still have to look at your face. Now the news in the mansion is not well-informed."

Li Meng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It might be better, make the seat I give you, then it's better than anything else. Go to the Lijin Bureau quickly, it seems that you can't even sit still."

Kong Sande then laughed a few times, turned around and went downstairs.

Listening to the stairs creaking, as if they were about to collapse the stairs, they disappeared at an astonishing speed that surpassed the size of the owner. The coachman outside shouted the horses to start, knowing that Kong Sande was already heading to the Lijin Bureau near the dock, Sun Chuanting spoke slowly:

"Sir, although Kong Sande is a close friend, the amount of gold and silver in and out of this Lijin Bureau is too large, and there must be some supervision."

Li Meng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Lingshan Trading Company will regularly count the accounts. The shopkeeper just now was from Master Ning. The golden river of Lijin Bureau flowed over, and it was impossible for people who were catching gold to be wet. But if they did it too much, then wait for the head to be stabbed."

Seeing that Li Meng had already had the means of restraining and surveillance, Sun Chuanting did not continue to speak much. From the early morning to now, Sun Chuanting was checking the accounts, and Kong Sande came to see the position supervised by the Lijin Bureau, but these people were not moved, and it was obvious that there was still something to do.

The guard went downstairs and called Yuan Wenhong up. Li Meng pondered for a moment and said:

"Give a document to Lingshan Trading Company and the Armed Salt Yanzhou Brigade. The land of Yanzhou is difficult to transfer. Today's salt prices are too low, and the livelihoods of stove households are difficult. Many merchants who are trafficking have broken their families. I understand the name. In the future, the Kong Mansion and the Lu Wang Mansion will use salt. In the future, the price will be increased by 30%, and at the same time, let the Yanzhou Brigade and the Shandong Salt Gang Jining Dun stare at me. If there is another liang of private salt entering the Kong Mansion and the Lu Wang Mansion, I want them to be in the head!"

At the end, although his tone was plain, the severity in the sentence was shocking. Yuan Wenhong's body trembled, but his pen was flying, and he still recorded Li Meng's orders quickly.

Yuan Wenhong was about to turn around and go downstairs, but Sun Chuanting spoke:

"Master, there are thirteen wealthy families in Shandong who do not obey orders and form their own system. Is this salt price also used on them?"

After hearing this, Li Meng said to Yuan Wenhong:

"Remember, I ordered Lingshan Trading Company to send people to these thirteen families to discuss with each other. There are two ways out. One is to follow the example of the Liu family in Dongchang. Everything is handled under our system, and then it is to use salt to increase the price by 30%. If there is any illegal matter, it will be handled more seriously!"

Yuan Wenhong recorded it all, bowed to Li Meng, nodded to Sun Chuanting there, and then turned and went downstairs. After only Li and Sun and the guards there were left. Li Meng sneered and said:

"I really have a better time. I regard my magnanimity as fear. I really think that scholars all over the world are all lackeys under their Confucius Mansion. A joke!"

Sun Chuanting took off the iron surface, wiped his face with a wet wipe, and sighed and said with a smile:

"The Confucius Mansion, the Lu family is just a dry bone in the tomb. Where can we know the world's affairs, it is just relying on the inheritance of blood. The status and status of our ancestors are just willful. In other words, the commander pays attention to individual decent work. If Liu Zeqing of Caozhou is still there, they would have been miserable today."

This is really a paradox. If Li Meng did not deal with Liu Zeqing in Caozhou, maybe the Confucius Mansion and Lu Fan would be much more honest today. The foundation is still Li Meng.

Thinking of this, Li Meng couldn't help but smile. As noon approached, the restaurant chef made a few exquisite side dishes, and Li Meng and Sun Chuanting simply used lunch.

Before I finished my meal, I heard a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the building. A guard on the first floor ran up the stairs and opened the entrance to report:

"Master General, Jia Shou Ge is here."

Li Meng and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, Li Meng put down the dishes and said:

"Come on here soon."

Jia Dashan, in Guide Prefecture, Henan, was the guest who came to Jining to wait for him. He actually used the word "please" to his subordinates. It can be seen how much he attached it. Only after the words were passed on, Jia Dashan had already come upstairs.

Jia Dashan is also a wealthy family. He dresses very well and pays attention to his demeanor. However, after going upstairs today, he looked quite strange, covered in dust, and his face was extremely tired and haggard. After going upstairs, he saw Li Meng sitting there, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and met with him with great gifts.

Li Meng nodded and said:

"You have worked hard all the way. You don't have to sit down and talk and bring him a bowl of hot soup."

Jia Dashan kowtowed again on the ground and said, "Thank you for your kindness." This was how he got up and sat on the table and chair opposite him. He nodded to Sun Chuanting beside Li Meng, and sat down and said:

"Thank you for your grace. Since you got the news, you have been changing horses all the way, and you have finally failed to delay your efforts."

Someone there brought Jia Dashan a bowl of hot soup. Jia Dashan thanked him with gratitude and drank the hot soup in big mouthfuls, and finally recovered his energy. Seeing that he finished drinking, Li Meng asked in a stern voice:

"I didn't expect that you would have this relationship. Let me ask you, I'm sure about this matter. There has never been anything truly credible about these people in Henan's territory. With such a big situation, can this person be so easily not allowed?"

When Jia Dashan heard Li Meng's question, he quickly put down the soup bowl, stood up, and replied respectfully:

"The villain is willing to use his family and life to guarantee it. This person has a friendship with his little family. He has had contact with him since he was a child. He has also read the books of sages for several years and is unwilling to be today. So even though he was making a fuss in Henan, he always wanted to find a background for himself."

Seeing Li Mengdi's expression calm, Jia Dashan took a breath and continued:

"He used to be active in the west and south of Kaifeng Prefecture. After the uprising, the villain had few contacts with him in order to avoid suspicion. Some time ago, this man knew about the grace of the little Magistrate Meng, and granted the rank of garrison. The whole clan was upright. He was also envious. At the end of March, he asked someone to send a message to Xiao, and Xiao was the urgent letter to the Grand Marshal."

The world is chaotic, with wealthy families connecting and protecting themselves, and in chaos. Some are forced to do so, but there are also many people because in the current situation where the Ming Dynasty court has Donglin and military officials, there is no possibility of making a name for themselves. They just gave up and started to make trouble.

It is also the mentality of some gamblers, thinking that the world is divided into pieces, and then Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are just lowly poor people. Even if they have such a scale, why can't I?

Everyone in the world thinks this way. Everyone wants to be the winner. Who would have thought that the internal struggle to make the Ming Empire extremely weak situation, which made the Qing Tartars outside the pass get the advantage. After entering the pass, they calmly defeated them and easily won the world.

However, after the uprising, most of the people who have caused the uprising find that they cannot get what they expected after the uprising, and are more likely to take a path that cannot be turned back, and even their families and relatives have become sinners who are accused of rebellion. If they are recruited, the stain will not be washed away. The government will be careful about you.

But Jia Dashan, the "Li Zhenhai" of Guide Prefecture, is an unusual example. He was recruited by the government and became the guard of Guide Prefecture. He was really holding troops and horses in his hand, and also cared for some of Li Meng's confidant generals. The Guide Prefecture was also prosperous. Many small landlords and tyrants in the east and north of Henan were headed by him, and local officials were also polite, from the original shouting to suppress the thieves to praise the gentry Jia, who guarded the Pingfan for Guide Prefecture, which was a blessing for the local area.

After recruiting, there were any strong adaptations. After the government recruited, there were 100,000 people who were adapted by the government, and there was no less than seven or eight hundred left, and there was no strength at all.

But Jia Dashan used to have tens of thousands of people under his command, but now his troops are only about 1,500, but these 1,500 people were pulled out to suppress bandits around Guide Mansion. The 1,500 people once defeated the thief with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and was very powerful.

There is an example in front of everyone. Everyone thinks that recruitment is a good way out. Killing people and setting fires and other recruitment. Isn’t that what Water Margin says?

And some people inquired about it. Such a good thing for recruiting was not recruited by the officials in Henan. These officials in Henan were worried about Li Chuang and Cao Cao all day long, so they had no intention of recruiting them.

The Shandong land Li Erlang and Li Dashuai were the immortal officials in heaven and were the first hero on the Green Forest Road in the East Province. If he could be invited by him, he could live a good life like Jia Dashan.

Tsk tsk, Li Meng was also famous on the Green Forest Road in Jianghu in Shandong and Henan. He was able to manage such a large-scale and cruel role. Over the past few hundred years, he was Li Erlang.

Look at how they managed it. Back then, it was just a poor small military household. In the past few years, it was a general of one side who had to build a house and a first-class general with eight living ranks. Is this worth it?

Let’s not talk about it. Since Jia Dashan has such a good situation by relying on recruitment, everyone is thinking about joining recruitment and making a big good situation.

But the resignation and loyalty are actually a matter of time. Since the Wo-shui War, the heroes and thieves in Henan, except for the lone man who can make a small job, were all rejected by others who wanted to bring the team. Some were also angry and wanted to raise an army to attack.

In front of the three camps in Guide Mansion and the village guards of the Tuntian Village, they were easily crushed. Jia Dashan certainly knew the laws and regulations of Jiaozhou Camp, but this time this time this time he had a friendship with him, and his status was indeed different from the past. Jia Dashan thought about it over and over again and asked several respected elders in the clan, and then made up his mind. He sent someone to send an urgent letter to Jinan City with a quick horse.

After Jinan's rapid horse arrived in Zhecheng, Jia Dashan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had done the right thing. Jinan's rapid horse came to Jiningzhou also gave him an order and immediately took the rapid horse to Jiningzhou. The general was waiting there. Jia Dashan explained and hurriedly took the rapid horse to hurry towards Jiningzhou.

When I went to this restaurant, I was very satisfied with what he did. Although I rushed all the way, I almost never left the horse's back and was extremely tired, but I was very happy in my heart.

Sun Chuanting leaned into Li Meng's ear and whispered a few times. Li Meng nodded and said:

"I can set up a guard or Dushi for him, and the military farm and the system can be based on Guide Mansion. If you are willing to come to Shandong, you can give him the position of Dushi."

Turning his head and looking at Sun Chuanting, Li Meng continued to say:

"I don't care about his troops, just come here. Jia Dashan, you can bring my words to him. It's Li Meng's words and I believe it, but I will definitely do it if I promise."

When Jia Dashan heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said gratefully:

"This is the magnanimous grace of the Grand Marshal. I believe that the man would be grateful and return to the loss. It can be regarded as an explanation for his parents and tribe members. When the prodigal son turns back, his family will definitely praise the Grand Marshal's compassion."

"Mr. Gongsun will explain to you what the specific details are. Just do it and leave after hearing it, don't delay it. Now things are urgent, and it's also hard for you."

When Jia Dashan heard this, he knelt on the ground and said repeatedly:

"The villain is also a member of the Jiaozhou camp. It is worth doing something, and it is not hard to do it. Thank you for your concern."

"If this matter is done, don't be the guard, just let it be the chief of the camp. Do it in a solid manner."

After saying this, Li Meng nodded at Sun Chuanting and signaled Sun Chuanting to start making arrangements. When Jia Dashan heard Li Meng's words, he was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, with an ecstasy look on his face, and kowtowed repeatedly, and said repeatedly:

"The grace of the Grand Marshal, the grace of the Grand Marshal, even if the small land is broken into pieces..."
To be continued...
