Chapter 112
"That's natural. Girl, sign and draw a deposit here. I'll get you a bank note. The amount is not small, and the money is not in vain. You can cash and spend this bank note wherever you go..."

The shopkeeper of the sitting cabinet winked, and led Cheng Weiyao to the outside room. The pawn bill had already been written, and it seemed that he planned to confirm the business on the spot.

"Know the goods!"

Cheng Weiyao followed to the outside room with a smile, but in fact she secretly compared it in her heart, three thousand is her psychological price, and she guessed that the price would be lowered early in the morning, so she deliberately raised it by 500 taels.

When he got out of the pawn shop with the bank notes and returned to the backyard, just in time for the servants in the lobby to drink and eat, they stood up and planned to greet everyone to go on the road again.

"Where's that little old girl? Ready to go..."

The yamen servant looked around in the lobby, frowned and shouted, while Cheng Weiyao lifted the curtain in time and came out of the back kitchen.

"Okay, let's set off together. Those who want to apply for household registration have prepared money. This time we will lead them. If we fail, we will go there by ourselves next time..."

The team set off again, and Cheng Weiyao began to inquire about the difference in the price of the household registration. The servants naturally knew everything because of the temptation of delicious food.

The reason for such a high price difference is mainly due to the classification of household registration. The household registration of the previous royal relatives does not even need to pay taxes and do corvee.

Therefore, anyone with a little money is willing to spend money to buy a good household registration and reduce certain taxes and corvees.

The most important thing is that household registration is hereditary. The most vivid example is that the children of Dalits are still Dalits.A lowly person cannot "change jobs", and can only earn a living in a lowly industry for the rest of his life.

Considering the environment of this town, Cheng Weiyao decided to place her household registration in the town mainly because the town is close to the water, and there are many piers to and fro, and official ships or merchant ships are moored at the piers.

Such convenient water conservancy transportation is also one of the main reasons for the prosperity of Neng Town in Qingshi Town, which is suitable for doing business!
My household registration can be regarded as set, but other people in Qingping Palace still need to seek opinions.

"I don't care. Sister-in-law, you have your own opinion, just look at it."

Wen Liyu shrugged her shoulders. She always firmly believed that one day she would bring her back to the capital, so it didn't matter what household registration she had for the time being.

"Ayu is right. Since Wei Yao is married to Cheng Ming, she naturally has the right to be in charge of the family. It's up to you..."

The imperial concubine also thinks the same way. Cheng Weiyao's actions during the exile are obvious to all. It is more than enough to be the master of the house.

With the support of the Qingping Prince's Mansion, Cheng Weiyao naturally placed the household registrations of the five people in the town. After solving the household registration problem, the yamen servants have completed their tasks. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Wen Chengyun watched the yamen servants leave, and moved lightly to Cheng Weiyao's side: "Madam will take the family to find a place to stay, so that my husband can find a living in the city, and sell coolies to subsidize the family..."

Cheng Weiyao narrowed her eyes slightly. As soon as the yamen servants left, Wen Chengyun was ready to act. She didn't look like she was going to do coolies... But she knew that she had many secrets, so she nodded obediently.

Wen Chengming left the place with peace of mind. Although he was in exile, he had already taken care of it early in the morning before he came. At least no one would embarrass the Qingping Palace. As for shooting openly and secretly, his wife is not a thing in the pool...

After Wen Chengyun left, he went to the restaurant where he had rested before. He turned his footsteps to the corner of the back alley, put his fingers together and blew, and a seemingly inconspicuous bird song came out.

And one of the diners who were sitting and eating in the restaurant left the table with a smile, and walked towards the backyard avoiding people's eyes and ears.

"Congratulations, my lord, for your smooth arrival. This subordinate is the captain of the seventh formation of the Jinwu Guard. You can call me Wu Qi."

Wu Qi looked left and right and used his internal force to check that there was no one watching nearby, then walked into the back alley, bent his legs as soon as they met, and gave Wen Chengyun a one-knee salute.

"It's hard work, you don't need to do such a big gift. You have been transferred from the capital to Qingshi Town as a secret agent for many years, but what have you found?"

Wen Chengyun held it up with his hand, with a stern expression on his face. When Wu Qi left the table and came over, the waiter in the shop replaced him as the shopkeeper. He thought that this restaurant was Wu Qi's local business.

The restaurant is crowded with people, except for the place of fireworks, this place is the most well-informed. Since it has been able to sit in a local famous restaurant in just a few years, I think I should have heard a lot of news.

"This is the list of military food and military pay teams that have passed through Qingshi Town in the past few years. After the restaurant became famous, there are also teams resting here one after another..."

Wu Qi took out a palm-sized account book from his arms, which recorded detailed information on military pay, how much silver taels in what year and month.

The silver taels allocated from the capital have been exploited by the local governments layer by layer, so it is inevitable that there will be times when there will be less taels of corruption, but when he really saw the amount of silver taels actually distributed to the frontier soldiers, Wen Chengyun still couldn't help but roll up the fish in his eyes. Stormy.

Before he was exiled, he worked in the imperial court, and the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated tens of thousands of taels of silver every year in subsidies and military salaries to Southern Xinjiang, but what was actually distributed to the soldiers was only three melons and two dates.

The border is originally a place of bitter cold, so harsh, how can it not chill the hearts of the soldiers in the long run?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This trip is for this case, and I will be very happy after it is resolved satisfactorily."

Wu Qi felt resentful when he brought up the issue of military salary deduction, but fortunately, the Lord had already arrived in Qingshi Town, and as long as the follow-up cooperation was proper, it was only a matter of time before the people behind the scenes were found out.

"The subordinates are in business, and their status is low. Even if they have good eyes and ears, it is always difficult to establish a relationship with someone who joins the army..."

When it comes to business matters, the anger in Wen Chengyun's eyes hides in the depths. The most urgent thing is to gain a firm foothold in Qingshi Town first. Only by integrating into the local area can we be able to grasp the forces behind it...

On the other side, after Wen Chengyun left, Cheng Weiyao began to look for a suitable residence in the city. Considering that she needed to look at the houses one by one, she called Wen Liyu aside alone.

"I'm going to arrange a place to live. Ayu, take your mother and Cheng Ming around the city. Cheng Ming likes that sugar man. Take it with you to taste it. It's a little money for expenses. If it's not enough, ask me for it... ..."

Cheng Weiyao stuffed 100 taels of silver bills into Wen Liyu's hands. No matter what era, renting a house is not cheap. Looking at the thriving trade in Qingshi Town, it is conceivable that the rent will not be too low...

She has to be prepared to shop around and choose the best place to live...
