Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 528 Establishment of Household Department
"Meizi, you are the most attentive among the three of us." Meng Changqing walked up to her and said, "From today on, this room is the Household Department of the County Government, and it is also your office.

All the revenue and expenditure of the county government must go through your hands, so you must not slack off. Learn how to do accounting from Cheng Zhubu. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him. If he is not available, you can come to me directly. "

"Yes." Mei Zi was very happy. She was not only happy that she could take on important work, but also happy that Meng Changqing affirmed her.

Compared to Mei Zi, Zheng Xidong and Luo Yun were only feeling uneasy. They knew they did not say what Meng Changqing wanted to hear, and they had a premonition that Meng Changqing would be disappointed in them.

"As for Xidong and Luo Yun."

When Luo Yun heard Meng Changqing mention his name, he was frightened.

Zheng Xidong was still somewhat calm, "Please punish me, sir."

When Meng Changqing heard her say this, he thought of how frightened he felt in the palace.

When facing a superior, the inferior is always afraid that he or she will not do well enough and make the superior angry. In fact, it is human nature that things are not done to the perfection in the other party's mind. No one can be the worm in the stomach of others. If you don't explain clearly, how can you blame the other party for not guessing your thoughts?
It just so happens that those in lower positions do not consider themselves human beings, and those in higher positions think so even more. Neither side allows for such common human nature.

"You listen to me and do what I say, so why would I punish you?" Meng Changqing said to the three people, "You can pass the exam to get in, so your foundation is naturally better than others. It is definitely not a problem for you to handle the trivial matters of the county government.

But asking you to just follow orders is a waste of your talents.

I plan to focus on training the three of you.

Although you are just minor officials, I hope you can make real contributions to the development of Beishan County and provide a better life for the people."

Hearing this, Zheng Xidong's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she wanted to do. Entering Beishan County Government Office was not only to seek security for her life, but also to repay the County Government Office for its help. "Xidong, Luo Yun, I have two arrangements for you," Meng Changqing said, "You can choose."

“The first option is to work in the county government office and go and help whoever is too busy.

The second option is to go to the city wall and help the left county lieutenant. By the way, see how the construction of the city wall is managed, whether the workers have any difficulties, and whether the officers and soldiers in charge have any shortcomings. I have to remind you that the place is cold, dirty and dangerous, and it is not a good place to stay. "

As soon as Meng Changqing finished speaking, Zheng Xidong said, "I choose the second option."

Luo Yun looked at her in surprise. Zheng Xidong winked at her and whispered to her, "You should go too. Just think of it as keeping me company."

Although Luo Yun disagreed, he couldn't bear to let Zheng Xidong go to the wall alone, so he had to listen to her, "I will choose the second option too."

"Are you sure?" Meng Changqing asked.

Zheng Xidong nodded, "We are sure."

"Okay then." Meng Changqing said, "I'll make arrangements with the Left County Lieutenant. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the city wall to find him. As for what you are going to do specifically, it's up to you to decide."

Meng Changqing smiled at them and said, "It's getting late. I heard that you all come back from work late at night these days. Go to bed early today.

Meizi, lock the door. These account books will be handed over to you for safekeeping. I will ask someone to move the bookshelves to you from the warehouse tomorrow."
