The current Xue Family Qianhu House, or about 30 miles away, has very good public security. Some time ago, the rogues who committed crimes and committed crimes that were extremely evil were all dead and could not see the corpse. They were still decent. They were all honestly boiling sea and salt at home, or working hard, hoping to have the opportunity to work with Li Meng.
Li Meng, who is in the Xue Family Qianhu House, is already famous. This young man is said to have been a fool in the past, but later he suddenly became smart. Many people around him have seen this person. He is very kind and he is very kind to deal with people and speaks in a very organized manner.
Military households cannot participate in the imperial examinations, so no one knows the words. Everyone is rough. It is rare to have the brains of Li Meng and have a gentle temper. To put it bluntly, it is rare to have such a military family child who looks like a scholar, and this person used to be a fool.
These are all gossips about old people and people who have started their families and businesses. It is different in the rumors of young people. Li Meng is the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun and is extremely brave. He once killed hundreds of salt dicks alone with a shoulder pole, and those who follow him can also get involved in some bravery. I heard that the honest young men in Xi Village also killed more than a dozen salt dicks, and they used bamboo poles.
Folk legends are basically exaggerated, and this fact is profoundly reflected in the rumors about Li Meng's deeds.
Although there are more than 5,000 households in Lingshan Vacation Station and more than 400 households, and the rest have been farmers for generations, they are people who grew up under the military system of the Vacation Station, and perhaps they still like swords and guns to fight. These young people, especially those second and third sons who cannot inherit their household registration and military status, live in poverty, but have endless energy to vent. Follow Erlang Zhenjun and fight with the salt dogs that harm the people. This is what a man does.
There is another reason that young people are unwilling to mention that with Li Meng, they can eat enough every day and eat meat every few days. It is said that "Erlang Shen" used the money he earned to buy food for everyone. Who would not yearn for such righteous, brave and magical people?
But what makes these young people depressed is that if they want to follow Li Meng, even if they are cooking salt on the sea by the sea, there are several conditions to be completed. There must be a guarantee for those who follow Li Meng. They must be able to carry an 80-pound burden to Fengmeng Town and then walk back. They also have to lie on the ground and support themselves with their hands for twenty times, and they cannot bend their whole body, which is also a bit strange.
If a person's body is not strong enough, he will really not be able to hold on.
Because of the harsh conditions, Li Meng only has thirty-two salt transport teams and 75 salt-cooking and salt-cooking. These salt transporters are all young people who have completely met the physical requirements set by Li Meng, as well as the seventeen people at the beginning, and those young people who have boiled salt and collected salt are slightly different from the standard.
These people buy salt goods in various villages during the day, or boil salt on the beach. However, in the morning and evening, they are trained by Li Meng desperately. In modern training, recruits are used by Li Meng in various physical training. If there is any difference, it is more rough stick education.
Li Meng was holding a few bamboo sticks tied together. He saw who was not in a standard way, and even people close to him were whipped. Even Zhao Neng, Chen Liuzi, and Wang Hai were no exception. These military families were just stronger farmers and were used to being casual. At first, they were suffering from such strict training, discipline, physical fitness and obedience. However, it is hard to find a local committee to be able to eat a meal these days. In addition, Li Meng was already a magical person in Lingshanwei area. Although the training was extremely painful, he saw the envious gazes of those who could not enter, and saw the money sent to his hands after selling salt. When he thought of these two things, he endured all the hardships. Moreover, no matter how hard he was, he could still suffer than the people in Dengzhou City and Huang County. He was eaten by Kong Youde as a "two-legged sheep".
Now there are two thousand households in Lingshanwei, and some scattered households here. Anyone who relies on the sea boils the sea and boils salt. At this time, these people dare not sell the salt elsewhere, but they all sell it to the west village of the Thousand Household of Xuejia. There are four cents of silver there, and they will not be deducted.
Li Meng can almost give Fengmeng Town fifty dans of salt every month, and earn only 40 taels of silver. These silvers are used to pay dividends to the people below, as well as provide various expenses, salt collection fees, and buying and selling grain to the young men below.
Zhao Neng was older and thoughtful, so he did the calculations for Li Meng, but it turned out that it was good to save three or four taels of silver every month. The year was a little better and the food was cheap. It was a waste to spend so much money, and it was a waste to raise more than 100 strong men in vain.
Moreover, many tasks seem to be enough for even a dozen people to do. What to do with so many people? What you do every day is to boil salt and dry salt, and to boil the body and hold a bamboo pole.
We sell private salt, and some skills are right to defend ourselves, but there is no need to train so hard. The military households in the garrison know a little about the military. When Qi Jiguang and General Qi were practicing elite soldiers, they only practiced once every five days. Li Meng, you practiced every day!
Zhao Neng also advised Li Meng, but Li Meng smiled and refused to answer, and insisted on his own actions. Zhao Neng stopped persuading him. First, he believed that Li Meng must be more complete than himself in his consideration, and second, he still made some money after all, and did not lose money, and his life was much better than before.
As for other military families, they are too lazy to care about them. Only the eldest son can inherit the family business in a military household. The second son and the third son are often not placed in a place. The land is barren and there is not much production. They always cause trouble when eating idle meals at home. It is a great thing to be able to make some money outside and make a few meals.
The beach where Li Meng and others dry salt and boil salt is a distance from the village, and it has a slope. It is easy to see the sea when standing in the village, but it is difficult to see Li Meng and others, and it is also somewhat concealed.
Every day, Li Meng practiced there in a busy day. Every day, he used some training in the army to reduce the training on these young people. The salt transport team earned more money, ate good meals, made less money, ate little meals, and whatever he did not practice well was sent to the salt-cooking team.
