Chapter 75: Anger that does not belong to this era

What these salt merchants did not expect was that the money was sent, but after seven or eight days, they gave news that there was no evidence after investigation. The inspector Li was a honest and dedicated person. He could not abuse the court to order officials, so he would not be allowed to use the example.

This reply made the salt merchants angry, thinking that the salt transport envoy would not do anything, but he had to spend money to bribe a minor official in the Salt Transport envoy's yamen. This is why he knew that the current salt transport envoy's favorite is Li Meng, the inspector stationed in Jiaozhou. His previous inspection included the King of Yan, who believed that he had a background in the background. After he set up a checkpoint in the local area, no one was willing to pay the bank and ask for it. He replied that the sea was peaceful and the river was clear and peaceful, so what kind of private salt dealers were there?

The wealth of the Salt Transportation Order’s Office was nothing more than the filial piety of the salt merchants and the surrender of inspections in various places. Shandong’s official salt was destroyed, and the official salt salt merchants went bankrupt one after another. There was no filial piety. In the past, local inspections were all done by themselves, so the Shandong’s official salt transportation Order’s Office has always been a clean yamen.

After Li Meng became the inspector of the Shandong salt transport envoy had no hope. The military disaster in Dengzhou had just been settled and the barren land of Denglai would be handed over.

Unexpectedly, after Li Meng took office, he paid a certain amount of money for the regular order. He was full of filial piety during the New Year. He found such a good subordinate. It took him so long to find a clean water from the salt transportation yamen. It was rare that there was some oil and water. Do you have to treat it well and maintain it carefully?

"You salt merchants in Nanzhili have always been selling in Shandong, but you don't see you coming to me as the salt transport yamen to be filial. Today, if I ask for something, I will give you money in a hurry. If I investigate Li Meng, will I still have silver filial piety in the future? Is it better than the long-lasting flow of kind people like Li Meng?"

This is what the monks reposted. It is said that the salt transport master and his confidants were chatting. After hearing the news, the salt merchants in Jining curled and sweared, but they had no choice but to do anything about it.

And there were some vague news that it was a noble relative who said that Laizhou salt was very good, and Li Meng was a good person, but the news was indeed vague and he could not find out the source at all.

Laiwu and Xintai in Jinan Prefecture, Yizhou and Feixian in Yanzhou Prefecture, Laizhou salt with better quality and lower prices has gradually squeezed Huai salt out of the market. This trend has made salt merchants on Huaihang jumped in a hurry. However, in the past, there are ways to deal with it...

In fact, these things were similar in March, but Li Meng did not notice that the news from the salt diary in various places only said that he encountered several bandits and was defeated, which was not a big problem and there was no need to worry about it.

The battle between the salt dicks and the bandits and Li Meng's subordinates, which were gathered by the salt merchants, was not taken seriously by the people on Li Meng's side. They felt that it was not worth mentioning. It was like a mosquito biting someone and being slapped to death by someone. People would not treat it as a matter. For the semi-militarized Laizhou salt dicks, those rogues who were temporarily gathered were too unworthy.

Li Meng's private salt sales market has expanded very smoothly. In his opinion, his personnel are expanding and his strength increases, and the more channels he controls, the more trade routes he will control, the naturally he will constantly squeeze out his competitors. This is a natural trend, and he doesn't care about it.

Li Meng didn't expect that the salt merchants in Lianghuai were planning to plot against him in Jiningzhou, and there was no sign around him that he could tell that he was worried about other things. However, although Li Meng was anxious and worried, his days were still so ordinary, and August soon came.

"Master, the silver magistrate's yamen is often collected, but the porcelain I gave this time was rejected by the magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's mag

Luo Xi, who went to give gifts, talked about the gifts tremblingly, and at the same time, he looked at Li Meng's expression. Li Meng's face was also not good-looking. He was even more angry when he saw the other party's hesitant appearance and said coldly:

"This gift is not given to you, I can say anything!"

Rosie cleared her throat and said in a low voice:

"The housekeeper's face was not good, and he just said that Yan Zhizhou would do it step by step in the future. He advised some people not to eat swan meat. The civil and military career was different, so he wiped out this thought, which could be considered as letting his lady go."

What good impression does civil servants who want to get the imperial examinations have on the right path to Li Meng have on the salt administration inspection? It really requires the sun to come out from the west. Moreover, Li Meng is still showing goodwill to the other party’s daughter, and he can’t bear it anymore. If Yan Zhizhou and Li Meng were not in Jiaozhou City, Li Meng’s reputation and power would have been afraid of it, and he would have turned against each other long ago.

Now the people in the inspection office know that Li Meng was interested in the lady of Yan Zhizhou's family, but the Ming Dynasty literati looked down on military people. This was almost a hundred years old. A ninth-rank inspector who wanted to marry the only daughter of the sixth-rank magistrate was really a high-spirit. If Yan Zhizhou agreed, he would probably not be able to look up in front of his officialdom and his colleagues. Even Luo Xi, who had been a salt dynasty in his heart, understood these principles.

But looking at Li Meng's appearance, I knew that this matter could not be persuaded at all, so it would be better not to make things boring. Rosie was just laughing awkwardly, scolding the other servants in her heart, and I said that I would push this job to me when I came back outside. It turned out to be such a chore.

When Rosie was standing there and embarrassingly, someone hurriedly ran in outside, and without saying hello, he just pushed the door open and said breathlessly:

"Sir, this is the residence report today..."

"Lao Ning, why are you so anxious?"

"Sir, didn't you say that you would report to you immediately if there was any news about the Tartars in the mansion?"

When he heard that it was the news of the Tartars, Li Meng suddenly stood up from his seat, rushed to Ning Qiangui, grabbed the newspaper, and began to look carefully, with the foundation of simplified Chinese characters, and had been familiar with them for more than a year and a half, and these traditional characters could still be understood clearly, but there were no punctuation marks, but it did not affect the understanding of the general idea.

"In July, the Eastern Barbarians divided into four routes to invade from Datong. Most of the border forts in Xuanfu of Datong were lost, and the officers and soldiers were killed and injured. The troops surpassed the Northern Zhili..."

The speed of news transmission in this era was spread from the capital to Shandong for more than a month. It was quite normal. The Qing Dynasty's Tartars invaded, and it took a long time for the Qing Dynasty to defeat Li Zicheng to enter the pass? Why is it now that history has changed?

Li Meng's hands began to tremble. Although Master Ning was running out of breath, he did not look anxious. He looked at Li Meng's eyes and blood burst out. The hand holding the di newspaper began to shake, and he couldn't help but say:

"Sir, there were fewer merchants from Beizhili coming to our Shandong a few days ago. Everyone thought something had happened. It turned out that the Donggu invaded. Now that the newspaper was posted, it must be nothing, so don't worry."

Li Meng then raised his head from the newspaper, looked at Ning Gangui who was explaining there, his eyes were almost red. Master Ning was almost scared by this glance and then retreated. He was extremely angry, as if he was still afraid and despair. It was really inexplicable. Master Ning complained, "You are a ninth-rank salt seller, why do you care so much about the important affairs of the court? Are the ministers and ministers not as anxious as you are?

He complained in his stomach, but he still explained with a smile:

"Sir, the Ming Dynasty is a country that is hard to fight. It's almost three hundred years. It's not until the Mongolian Tartars fight to Zhili once or twice. It's all okay. The Eastern Seizure Jurchens have only been for a few days. However, the mansion report said that the Shaanxi thief Gao Yingxiang's troops ran out of the encirclement of the army in the chariot gorge. This is a big concern."

The Ming Dynasty's official newspaper system ensures that the news is transmitted to the whole country, which also ensures that these scholars who are related to the government have some knowledge of the world's major affairs. What Ning Gangui said is not outstanding, but it is also considered the common view of the world in the Ming Dynasty. Although the Eastern Barbarians are a disaster, they are not the biggest disaster compared to the peasant army.

Listening to these words, Li Meng's heart was filled with ignorance, thinking that I can't tell you, I know that the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, and it was massacred. The next few hundred years were the dark ages of the Han people. In that chaotic era of the Qing Dynasty, there were only one ten Han people left.

But no matter how angry he was, these words really couldn't be said. Li Meng racked his brains there and thought about what he learned in history classes back then, especially the history at the intersection of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But what I can remember was that Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty and then the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and he didn't know any other details. At that time, he felt that the content of history was really small and easy to learn. At this time, Li Meng was extremely angry. The textbooks in primary and middle schools were just about rough things, and the peace seasons were about the disasters and dark times in history, and all the fierce content was mentioned in one stroke. The Boxer rebelled against the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the few massacres of the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.

Everything in history books is chosen according to the standard of "peaceful times". Anyone who meets this standard is to talk about it in a big way, and any one that does not meet it will be mentioned in one sentence or even not mentioned.

There are also countless clowns who tamper with history for their dirty purposes and publicize it in various media.

The result is that if anyone who receives school history education does not read historical materials and understands the truth by themselves, if he really uses history, he will find that there are many faults in his historical knowledge and many things he does not understand. This is true for Li Meng.
