Chapter 3 Flick, Then Flick
Chapter 3

From the conversation between the yamen servant and the middle-aged man, Meng Qing learned that this man is the head of the county yamen, and should be the one who manages the household registration.

Without keeping Meng Qing waiting, the man said, "You said you came to change your household registration. Where is your original household registration and why are you here? Can you give me a guide?"

Fortunately, Meng Qing was prepared, took out the household registration and road guides that had been hidden in her arms, and handed them over.

Respectfully said: "The little girl came here as a refugee and was separated from her parents. She intends to settle down in Xiaotao Town. This is Xiaomin's household registration and road guide. Please take a look."

Meng Qing was still a little unaccustomed to speaking politely.

The man did not expect that the person standing next to him was a woman.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and looked at the visitor carefully.

I found out that although the clothes are ordinary and there are some dilapidated places, he is clean and tidy. He is obviously a person who pays attention to cleanliness.

Unfortunately, not a man.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "There is a female household in this dynasty, but you want to establish a female household?"

Female household!Meng Qing was stunned when he heard it. It was such a surprise that there was such a good thing.

Fortunately, she was not overwhelmed by this sudden surprise.

Instead, he calmly asked: "I don't know, my lord, what is the request of this female family, and what is the use?"

Seeing that Meng Qing was so calm and self-sufficient at such a young age, Master Liang nodded secretly, "Female household is a kind of household registration unique to Daqian, mainly for those who have lost their husbands, or those who have only one woman and have no males, so women are the head of the household. , able to inherit the property of the family. If you want to be a female householder, there are no special requirements, you and your family agree. By the way, the new household registration needs ten coins to change."

The reason why I specifically pointed this out was because Director Liang could see that Meng Qing's situation might not be very good.

Master Liang briefly introduced the female householder, and then waited for Meng Qing's decision.

Change, must be changed, such a good opportunity, not to change is a fool.

It's just that the money is a bit difficult to deal with. She really can't get out ten pennies now.

This is a bit embarrassing. If you can't get the household registration, it's hard to find the cooperation of the boss. You can't make money, but you can't get the household registration if you don't have money.

After thinking about it, Meng Qing had a bold idea in his heart.

"Back to my lord, I also ask your lord to change the money for Xiaomin into women's money. As for Xiaomin, I have an unfeeling request. Please listen to me." After speaking, he bowed and bowed.

Just such an action convinced Master Liang that this woman named Meng Qing had or had once had a scholar in her family.

Because her bowing posture is very standard, which is a typical scholar's way.

At the same time, it also reflects from the side that if you are more favored at home, you will definitely not indulge your daughter in the family to learn the etiquette of a man.

It was these details that made Director Liang not reject Meng Qing, but waited for her to speak, thinking in his heart that Zuo was just asking him to borrow money or hoping that he could help waive the fees.

Although I guessed it, if Meng Qing really spoke up, it would inevitably lower the evaluation in Master Liang's heart.

Fortunately, Meng Qing was not so direct, she chose a relatively roundabout way.

She didn't talk about borrowing money, but instead asked about beggars.

"My lord, after I arrived in Xiaotao Town in the past few days, I found many beggars, most of them were children. I don't know what adults know."

Speaking of this, how could the master Liang of a county master not know.

This is also a big problem. Most of the children who become beggars are orphans, and they don't want to go to the nursery hall set up by the imperial court. The younger ones are fine, especially the older ones.

One couldn't stand it and ran outside.

Coupled with the fact that it is not easy to shoot Hanako, children are often lost, not to mention those little beggars.

It can be said that it is a major event on the hearts of the entire county government.

It's just that Meng Qing suddenly mentioned this matter, but Master Liang was very unexpected.

Fortunately, Meng Qing didn't mean to be tricky, and continued: "To be honest, Xiaomin fell into a coma after arriving in Xiaotao Town. If it wasn't for the little beggar in the town to save him, he might have died."

"After getting along these days, I found that they are very smart and quick-witted. The most important thing is that they know the streets and alleys of Xiaotao Town like the back of their hands. This is a very rare ability."

At this time, Master Liang vaguely understood what Meng Qing meant, but he didn't quite understand it. After all, he was familiar with Xiaotao Town, and he would become familiar with it after living for a long time.

When Meng Qing was talking, she kept paying attention to Master Liang's face, and naturally she didn't miss the puzzled expression.

Busily added: "I also noticed that our Xiaotao Town has a developed economy, frequent caravans, a lot of restaurants and restaurants in the town, and a lot of rich people. If we can gather these little beggars in the town, it will obviously be of great use. .”

Meng Qing's original intention was to guide Master Liang to draw his own conclusions, but he overestimated his patience.

"Miss Meng Qing, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up." Director Liang stared at Meng Qing with bright eyes, obviously very interested in what she said.

In particular, the content she put forward that can make those little beggars play a role is the focus of Director Liang's attention.

Because she had some guesses about Meng Qing's family background before, she naturally had expectations for her words.

Being urged, what can Meng Qing do? Why don't you just talk obediently.

"Xiaomin's plan is this way. There are two plans for the little beggars. One is to let them stay at the gate of the city. After the caravan enters the city, they will serve as guides and recommend the famous restaurants in Xiaotao Town. Inns, etc. earn a certain fee, which can be regarded as a kind of broker, allowing them to support themselves. Another is to organize small beggars to cooperate with restaurants and restaurants to help them deliver meals to their doors, so that diners can eat at home Now, the restaurant can make more money, and the little beggars can be accommodated."

As soon as the words fell, Master Liang slapped the table excitedly and stood up.

"A good idea, really a good idea." If it weren't for Meng Qing being a woman, Mr. Liang would almost be unable to stop his love for talents.

If she is a man, Master Liang really wants to recommend her to the county magistrate.

What a pity, what a pity.

After calming down for a while, Master Liang sat back in his seat.

"Ms. Meng, your method is very good. Listening to what you say, it is almost a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, but how can you guarantee that this thing will be successful?"

After speaking, he looked at Meng Qing expectantly, obviously hoping that she could give him another good idea.

But Meng Qing didn't want to show off. This time, it was just a helpless move. In order to avoid the handling fee, it was also a disguised way to raise a big banner for herself.

By the way, give yourself a precautionary measure for what you have to do in the future.

"Returning to the adults, whether it is to solicit the opinions of the restaurant merchants or to integrate the beggars, the adults need to be involved, and the little people just come up with an idea." Xiao Xiao blocked the matter back.

But he immediately said: "If your lord has finished negotiating with those merchants and needs someone to help with the experiment, it is naturally obligatory for Xiaomin."
