Chapter 241 Salt Field Ploughs Recruitment

There are two relatively large salt fields in Weihai Vilar, two hundred miles away from Dengzhou. Because it is very close to Dengzhou, when Jiang Feng controlled Shandong private salt, the salt course of this private salt was the fastest to surrender, and even during the period when Jiang Feng was transferred to Jizhen.

The salt courses here are not thoughtful at all. Of course, this is also related to the geographical location. If there is any reactionary place in this salt field, the soldiers and fleets of Dengzhou Camp will be able to arrive soon. So it is better to be dedicated to the people.

Because of this good performance, the preferential conditions given to them by Jiang Feng are much better than other salt fields. Originally, all salt fields in Shandong Province had to receive shares and produce salt from Jiang Feng and Huang Ping, but the amount given to Weihai salt fields is special. In addition to the planned share, there are also some quotas that can be processed by themselves.

Of course, although some soup leaked from Jiang Feng's fingers, it was quite rich, and the salt field in Weihai became more and more loyal.

Jiang Feng did not have any manpower in these two salt fields, because Weihaiwei originally had the sea defense personnel stationed here, and Jiang Feng himself did not have a lot of manpower.

Although the autumn weather is bright and cool most of the time, it is often foggy. At this time, the salt cubes and households in the salt farm will be busy, because if the salt cubes are not sorted out and prepared at this time, it may be delayed a lot of work in the future.

After Jiang Feng maintained the private salt market, Yan Ding and the households who relied on the salt farm to make a living better. Most of the original profits were taken away by private salt dealers and salt merchants. Local people who managed the salt farm followed him to drink a few sips of soup. The remaining people were not very different from the craftsmen. They worked hard to do their jobs, and they might not even eat enough food.

Life is much better now, and the profits are kept at the source. In order to produce more salt, the officials of the salt farm have improved the treatment of salt households. Moreover, the salt production requires a lot of skills. It is better to be skilled in skilled work.

Look at the farmers outside who rebel and wandered due to famine, these salt households feel more and more happy, so they are very excited to work now.

It is September 20th. The head of the salt farm got up in the morning and walked out. His years of weather experience immediately made him feel that there would be a heavy rain in the afternoon or evening, so he quickly gathered the staff of the entire salt farm to clean up. The salt farm households stopped their work and started to get busy.

Now due to the sea ban, except for the fishing boats that went into the sea to fish by themselves, there was no fishing boat on the sea surface. When cleaning up the salt field, many male saltmen were still quite happy. They could not go out to work for several days in this gloomy weather. They cooked some fish at night and found a few people to drink some wine...

At this time, a sharp-eyed man suddenly saw a boat on the sea and shouted:

“There are ships on the sea!”

These people were still quite surprised because they saw more than a dozen small boats rowing towards the beach on the salt field. This scene had not been seen for many years. Suddenly, someone finally reacted and shouted in horror:

"Pirate, Pirate!"

The boat had already reached the beach, and many pirates with knives jumped off the boat, and rushed towards the shore with shouts. In addition to the equipment to collect salt, the people in the salt field did not even have a wooden stick in their hands. They dared to fight against the fierce pirates rushing over from below.

They were all panic-screaming and dispersing towards the inland...

Jiang Feng had been wandering around Yuyang and Jining with his subordinates. It had been more than ten days since the news of Weihaiwei Salt Farm reached him. Weihaiwei Salt Farm was almost completely destroyed, and more than twenty salt households died - because they ran in time.

The two surrounding villages were seriously injured. There was a village with nearly 200 families, with only three or four families left. The local garrison claimed to have thousands of soldiers, and they closed the city gates and dared not come out, allowing the pirates to show off their power there.

Whether it was the private letter from the salt field officials to Jiang Feng or the official notice document, this incident was called "Japanese pirates' rebellion", because these pirates were indeed shouting Japanese words, wearing Japanese pirate costumes, and holding the same weapons in their hands.

"Why did Japanese pirates go to the salt field?"

Jiang Feng was extremely angry and tore up a few handfuls of the documents in his hand and threw them to the ground. The confidants around him are now recruiting soldiers outside, and Liu Shier is still around him who is already treated as a strategist. If the other party had such a move on weekdays, Jiang Feng would not be so angry.

At that time, it will either be resolved calmly or confronted by tit. But now it is Jiang Feng’s new official to take office. The commanders of Shandong guerrillas and garrisons are different. Most of the commanders of garrisons keep the military households farming honestly, which is essentially not much different from the prefectural magistrates of civil servants.

However, Shandong guerrillas were senior officers who commanded the war soldiers and had the responsibility to defend the land and ensure local safety. However, when his new official took office, someone slapped him hard. Japanese pirates and pirates invaded coastal areas, and Jiang Feng was responsible for the public security of Dengzhou, Yanzhou and Jinan Prefectures. Most of Shandong's coastline was within his defense scope. This incident was his responsibility no matter what.

Liu Shier looked at Jiang Feng's furious look and knew that although this adult was irritable, he was not blind and impulsive. Moreover, the matter now did not require too much in-depth investigation. Liu Shier just said something else and said slowly there:

"Sir, we only have 2,000 soldiers who can move. How can we guard such a large territory in Shandong come here? The other party also expected this, so we took action unscrupulously. But this is okay. Now the fishing villagers on the coast have moved in. There is no need to worry about these, but the salt farms are on the coast. However, it is difficult to attack at sea. When the salt farms are notified, some people will keep watch. The local civilians and guards are all in a hurry. The pirates will definitely not waste their efforts after seeing them."

In his narrative, when the attackers were mentioned, they did not talk about the Japanese pirates but used the name of pirates directly. When Jiang Feng was in contact with Chen Shizi, he issued an order to Chen Shizi, asking him to clear out the pirates in southern Shandong and send people to Dengzhou. However, at the beginning, he only sent more than 30 shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the next was the transfer document from the capital. Jiang Feng had to make the situation in Shandong out of control and had to abandon some lurking chess pieces.

The pirates are now one of the few forces that Shandong is not under his control. Now his own ships are basically merchant ships and they are unable to do anything at sea. Therefore, the pirates attacked him in time and "very appropriately" the salt field below.

Jiang Feng slowly calmed down at this time, sat there and took out the wine pot and took a few sips, slapped his lips and said with a sneer:

"To put it bluntly, it's all for the sake of profit. In Shandong, Jiangfeng, I have blocked many other people's ways to make money on salt. It seems that many people are not convinced? Mr. Liu, please look for some people to keep an eye on each salt farm to see if there is anything wrong with it."

There are quite a lot of people who can fight in Dengzhouying system, but very few people do these spy jobs. Now they rely on the people from Liu Shier who are lying in the green forests. Jiang Feng and Zhang Liang used some knowledge of the secret spies in the Jinyiwei Island to train them briefly, plus enough money.

So it gradually became effective, but it only played its role. It was just maintaining the circulation of information, which was much faster than the way the official documents were delivered by the government.

Liu Shier nodded and called in directly the Yang family outside and began to arrange related matters.

Jiang Feng made judgments and decisions in Yanzhou Yuyang, but the news was transmitted over and over again and again, and it had to go to various salt fields along the coast of Shandong. In late October, the salt fields and surrounding garrisons and villages were considered to be prepared. During this period, the two salt fields, Ninghai and Aoshan, were attacked by pirates.

However, after this, because of the increased vigilance in various places, the news came that when the alert people saw a ship ready to come, they hurriedly called for warning. Perhaps these people on the sea had no chance to see it, and they had not landed. After a few times, the salt fields everywhere calmed down.

The spies arranged to monitor in various places did not send any news back. Jiang Feng was also suspected that it was just some thieves or Japanese pirates who wanted to go ashore to rob.

The most important thing now is to recruit soldiers. The garrisons of Yanzhou and the several warriors transferred here were all washed away by Chen Shizi. Many of the soldiers could not be collected after they were dispersed. Jiang Feng was not going to use these scoundrels like candles, so he simply recruited them again.

Wendao and hundreds of his subordinates fled into the mountains and forests, but they disappeared for a while. However, after Chen Shizi gathered nearly ten thousand young men were dispersed by Jiangfeng's Dengzhou Camp, many of them became bandits in chaos, and the place where they had just calmed down became chaotic again.

Jiang Feng's way to deal with this matter was very simple. Soon, at the gates of each city in Yanzhou and Dongchang, and on the roadsides of each major traffic road, were filled with notices:
