Chapter 55 Captain

"There are four people and five apprentices who can help."

Wang Hai stood aside and looked at Li Meng rubbing his hands excitedly with incomprehension. He thought to himself that he was just a few craftsmen, or those Liao people. Why did Lord Li look so happy? While he was thinking about it, Li Meng suddenly turned around and ordered Wang Hai:

"Go and find Master Ning next door, ask Guo Dong to tell his name, go to the outside of the city to search one by one, and after finding it, you will be placed in Fengmeng Town, and let Hou Shan find a way to make arrangements."

"Brother Li, don't be so anxious. So many people next door are talking about things..."

"Don't talk so much, go and arrange it quickly, this is the biggest thing."

Guo Dong, who was standing beside him, had he had been tearful. If the doctor hadn't bandaged him with medicine, he would have turned over and kowtowed. Now he was just muttering, "My great kindness and virtue will never be able to repay you in the next life!"

It took no effort to record the name of the person and take a bookkeeper and Yan Ding out of the city gate to find someone. Outside the Dongcheng Gate are all victims from Dengzhou. Guo Dong's family and fellow villagers soon found him. They bought some food in Jiaozhou City and filled them out and made arrangements for Fengmeng Town.

There is no harvest season yet, and there is no unnecessary harvest. If these victims are not surprised, they will just wait for death outside the city. After all, there are very few people like Guo Dong who pretend to be mute and work in the city to support their families outside the city. Li Meng's behavior of sheltering these Liao people claimed to be selling slaves to the Zhuangzi of Fengmeng Town. The idle people in Jiaozhou City all said that Li Erlang had done a good deal.

Hou Shan stopped being a middle-aged man for a long time. He was in charge of the salt transactions at Lingshan Salt Farm and Xuejiadao Salt Farm. He was very busy. Seeing that Li Meng sent so many people, he was overwhelmed. He heard that the message said that Lord Li asked him to arrange the people in the village, and he couldn't help but be confused. He thought to himself that there was something about the farm. He was afraid of doing something wrong, so he went to Jiaozhou City to confirm it himself, but Li Meng was stuffed back with one sentence:

"If there is no farm, then just build one."

This is also convenient. Whether it is a military household or a craftsman, the Liao people who have eaten, are good laborers. They are just enough to build a village, so they just start building a large-scale construction.

The rescue of Guo Dong gave Li Meng some inspiration. After settling down Guo Dong and their companions, they specially arranged for people to visit outside the city. All victims with skills and ability were taken in the name of slaves and sent to the village in Fengmeng Town.

These victims are easy to support, as long as they are full, there are really some craftsmen, some are craftsmen, and some are good at raising horses. Even if they don’t know anything, they can go to Fengmeng Town to work, transport salt there and produce salt, and build Li Meng’s farms all require manpower.

There were a lot of people, and in almost ten days, nearly two or three hundred people were found. There were not many victims outside Jiaozhou City. More people went to the richer Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture. There were also those honest farmers who fled to escape. However, Li Meng's ability was also limited, and good deeds could not affect everyone.

Ten days after the restaurant party in May, on the first day of June, Fengmeng Town seemed to be celebrating a festival. Putting aside the construction site in the south of the town, there were four or five hundred young people coming here, and there were long queues outside several courtyards on the edge of the town. The young men lined up looking forward to the entrance of the yard.

Every time someone ran out excitedly, while others walked out of the door with dejected expression.

There were several tables in the courtyards, and in front of the table were stone locked stone bars. Wang Hai, Chen Liuzi, Zhao Neng and Ma Gang were each sitting on the same table. It was nothing for the young people to raise the stone locked stone bars, but they had to follow the demonstration movements of several salted men there.

For example, if you are stretched out and lying on the ground, you will use your arms to support your body and then put it down. Such a simple movement looks like a joke. You are also asked to do fifty ones, and you will also bend down on the ground, holding your head with your hands and bent down, but your legs cannot be raised. If you pull the wooden bar up with your hands, these movements are like children playing, and young people feel embarrassed to do this.

But if you can't complete it, you won't be allowed to be salt diced. Moreover, it's really not easy to finish these seemingly simple actions. By the time these four or five hundred people were checked, half of them were eliminated. These are the children of the salt owl and salt vendors. There are other selections in the Lingshan Guard. The registration scene is naturally extremely enthusiastic, but in the end, only 150 people were selected.

Including these 350 people and the newly recruited four hundred people, Li Meng was under nearly a thousand. Once the number of people was too high, the cost suddenly became larger. Most of the silver that Li Meng had just accumulated was gone. The 750 people were divided into five teams by Li Meng. Li Meng directly belonged to the first team, Zhao Neng, Chen Liu, Wang Hai, and Ma Gang each led the first team. Li Meng's team was the first group of old salt kids. After baptism of the battle, he also had enough training and was the strongest among the teams.

As for the other teams, they all dispersed the old salt dings and asked them to lead the new ones. Li Meng did not give them time to train, but directly sent them to the resident to set up card training and regularly check the training situation. These teams were rotated every two months. Except for the team led by Li Meng, there was always a team stationed between Lingshan Guard and Fengmeng Town. After being rotated here, this team was under the jurisdiction of Li Meng.

Li Meng had no explanation, and others thought it was normal, but Zhou Xiucai, who lived in Jiaozhou City, joked with others while drinking:

"This inspector is young, but he is not a rude person. He knows the way of control. The five teams of salt are always guaranteed to have an advantage. It is a perfect solution!"

The inspector is a ninth-rank small official, and the subordinates are all private equity funds. Naturally, those salt lords will not have any official status. Li Meng really racked his brains to think of this name. He was very good at calling battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, etc., but Li Meng always resisted. Finally, he figured out the name. Li Meng called himself the captain of the inspection and salt brigade, and the four people below were called the captain. There were also team deputy under the captain, and one team of 150 people had five small team leaders.
