However, it is difficult to collect information about the "smoky three-masted ship". The ship is not in Bopu now. There were even fewer navy sailors who could be seen everywhere in Bopu on weekdays. She had no choice but to wander around the Bobu Port area to see if she could find an acquaintance in the navy to inquire about.
However, she didn't see any of the elders she knew here. She wandered around the blog for two or three days without finding anything. I had no choice but to go find Li Qianji again, but she didn't know where Oziji's "heads" were now. Li Qianji only knew that Li Haiping was still in Kaohsiung before he was sent back, and knew nothing about it after that. "The novel chapters are updated the fastest."
Although she found nothing, she did not dare to leave this place for fear of missing the naturalization reply from the Australians - only with the status of a naturalized citizen could she move freely in the Australian territory. Although she is now gradually becoming more interested, the lady's remaining power is still there, and she still dare not disobey or neglect her orders. At best, it's just paving the way for Ziji.
At this time, in the office of the Executive Committee, someone gave a final answer to her application:
"Since she expressed her willingness to fight for our cause, and the Political Security Administration thinks she is unreliable, let her take Ziji's Hangzhou to the front line - the cannon will prove whether she sincerely joins us. .”
As a result, Li Huamei's naturalization was approved, and Si Kaide soon received two official documents with seals added. The first one was an approval letter agreeing that Li Huamei was a naturalized citizen, along with a full set of relevant documents; the second one was a political appraisal of Li Huamei sent by the General Administration of Political Security: level 4c: "Unreliable, can be used. Further observation" is the lowest level. .
Director of the Department knows that according to this level, Li Huamei is on the separate list of the General Administration of Political Security. Anyone rated level 4. They are all objects of close attention by informants.
At this level, even the refugees who have just entered the quarantine camp are not as good as the refugees who have the background of a small leader of the Huidao sect: those kind of people will be arrested directly in Sanya once they are reported to have "anti-social remarks" Go up to the mine.
"It seems that her end will not be too good." Skade sighed and said with some regret. Then he issued an order to include Li Huamei's establishment in the Southeast Asian Trading Company under the Ministry of Colonization and Trade - this was carried out in accordance with the call just made by the General Office. According to this call, Li Huamei's Hangzhou number will Was transferred to Taiwan.
The day after receiving the notification of naturalization approval, Li Huamei began her long journey of naturalization. To make sure she was prepared and followed the steps. The Ministry of Colonization and Trade specially dispatched a naturalized citizen staff member to accompany him throughout the process.
The first step is to prepare a household registration book and ID card. Since Li Huamei currently has a fixed address - the commercial hall is a temporary residence, her household registration book is on hold. I only got a temporary ID card. The clerk said it would be best for her to find a permanent place to live within three months—either buying or renting.
Li Huamei carefully pressed her thumbprint on the cardboard card, and then left all the fingerprints of her ten fingers on the relevant registration book.
"This is your ID card. You should carry it with you. It is very useful as a naturalized citizen." the clerk said.
Li Huamei took this folio cardboard into her hand. Watch carefully. The cardboard is very hard and very stiff. It is only half the size of a palm when folded. Three black characters in Song Dynasty on the cover: Temporary ID card, and a row of small characters below: "Da Song Australia Bank is at the Police Headquarters, valid for three months from the date of issuance." When I opened it, Ziji's name and date of birth were written in detail - the upper row was the Arabic numerals they commonly used, recorded in AD, and the lower row was the year number according to the Ming Dynasty. Place of birth: Macau. The residential address is: No fixed address. The occupation column says "captain" and the education column says "illiterate". Finally, the nature of the household registration: non-agricultural.
At the bottom of the column. It is a row of twelve Arabic numerals. There is a big bright red stamp on the ID card: Lingao County Police Department. Below is the date of issuance: 1632.9.3.
Li Huamei took this ID card and came out of the Bopu Police Station, and was taken to a room on the first floor of the Customs Building. An inconspicuous wooden sign at the door of the room told her that this was the location of Southeast Asia Company.
The clerk at the Southeast Asia company immediately took out a bunch of documents and asked her to sign them, including the shareholding agreement for her Hangzhou number. The clerk explained to her that she joined the Southeast Asia Company as the owner of the Hangzhou, so she was a shareholder of the Southeast Asia Company. The company would give her a certain number of dividend shares based on the condition of her ship, and she would pay dividends based on profits at the end of the year. In addition, she can also enjoy the salary and related benefits provided by the company.
"According to the Cheka's valuation, your Hangzhou is fifteen thousand pesos in Spanish pesos - including all the artillery and other bits and pieces of equipment on it - and I will give you a shareholding at this amount. Do you have any objection?"
"méiyou."
"You still don't have a captain's certificate, but judging from your consistent sailing performance, we think it's very reasonable for you to apply for a second-class captain's certificate. It's best to apply for a captain's certificate within a week - according to the decree of the Senate, all The captains of ships under the jurisdiction of the Senate must hold a certificate to work..."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely apply."
"And your cultural qualification certificate..."
"I'm mingbái, I'm mingbái, I must take the test." Li Huamei nodded repeatedly.
"Do you still have any questions about shime?"
"I have you." Li Huamei was confused by the lengthy explanation, thinking that Ziji was here as an undercover agent anyway, and if she really wanted to deceive Miss Cai, she would have to do it, so she immediately signed and fingerprinted everything without saying a word.
"This is your work permit for the Southeast Asian company. Please take it with you." The clerk handed her a similar folio card - which required fingerprint registration.
"According to the orders of the Senate and the Director-General of Military Affairs, the captains of the Southeast Asia Company must be awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the naval reserve." The clerk continued, "This is the document. You will go to the fortress headquarters in the port building later. There will be Helped you handle it.”
"Okay..." Li Huamei started to faint.
After coming out of the customs building, she was taken to the Bopu office of Delong Bank and got a savings passbook: used to pay wages, dividends and deduct social security expenses.
"You now have the social insurance provided by the Senate." The clerk introduced it with a smile.
"What...shooting session?" Li Huamei was dumbfounded.
According to the results of the latest financial work conference, social insurance has now been implemented among all financial support personnel: cadres, staff, workers, and military personnel, and three funds for pension, work-related injury, and medical care have been established, with the financial and individual responsibilities based on the base. .
Although Southeast Asian companies have commercial shares, they are also state-owned, so they also enjoy this yiti system. Li Huamei knows a little about insurance. Europe has had a maritime insurance system for a long time. In China, escort agencies actually have similar guarantee responsibilities. But there is no such thing as a pension. It took me a long time to explain that Ziji had to pay money every month, so that Ziji could get money from the bank when he gets sick or old and can no longer work...
Who are you lying to? Li Huamei thought, when she gets old, she won't be able to rely on her children and grandchildren to make money from the bank - even her children and grandchildren cannot be relied on. The real money in her pocket must be real and reliable. This so-called pension insurance is just a new way of collecting taxes.
When it came to tax collection, the clerk didn't miss anything and informed her that based on her salary and expected dividends, her expected income had reached the threshold for personal income tax: she had to pay income tax every month - automatically from her bankbook. deduction.
After being tortured by bureaucratic paperwork all afternoon, Li Huamei finally came out of the fortress headquarters. She completed the last procedure and officially registered as a second lieutenant in the Navy Reserve. Of course, she still needs to take two certificates to prove her ability. No matter how capable you are, you still need to be certified in the eyes of the Senate.
"Congratulations, now you are one of ours." When he heard that she was officially naturalized as a naturalized citizen, Simida expressed his heartfelt congratulations and said happily to her.
"Bah, who is in the same group with you?" Li Huamei's face turned red. After she got the documents, she came to Simida and wanted to find out more about the Southeast Asian company that Ziji had joined. In the past, she had seen several merchant ships flying the Southeast Asia Company's flag around Hainan, but she rarely saw them in Nanyang. I just went to the office of this company, and I didn't feel that they had a lot of business, so I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I didn't expect to be teased as soon as I entered the house.
"Don't be embarrassed." Smida became nagging because of her pregnant wife, "You can be regarded as the leader's person now. You are not the same as us. There are heroes among women who have ships and people. Leaders They all like you - tèbié is one of those in the navy, maybe you can even get a wife."
"Those useless snacks..." When Li Huamei mentioned these "fans", she always thought of those trembling cowards who couldn't even climb the mast, and she really couldn't respect them.
Simida showed a disapproving expression. In her opinion, Li Huamei had become a subordinate of the "chiefs" and was disrespectful. It was simply treason.
Li Huamei didn't get much news about the Southeast Asian company from Simida - not to mention that Si Kaide didn't talk to her about work matters, even Si Kaide knew very little about this Southeast Asian company. This company has never engaged in ocean trading since its establishment. It has always been responsible for cargo transportation under the control of the Navy, and has only been as far as Vietnam. It was not until Ping Qiu Sheng opened the door to Siam trade that Southeast Asian companies made several trips to Siam. (To be continued...)
