The next day, the police station came to verify the materials. [Read the latest chapter] The household registration papers have been filled out, and as usual, the police will check and register them one by one - because they do not have a fixed residence now, they have a temporary household registration in an inn. Then everyone was given a temporary ID card.
Zhuo Yifan and others originally wanted to take a look at the tough and fierce policewoman again, but they didn't expect that she didn't come at all this time. Instead, several charming young policewomen came. However, after the story last time, they didn't expect that she would come again. There was no one who didn't have the foresight to touch this bad luck. Several people lived in the yard and didn't even open the door. The idlers simply avoided going in.
Although the household registration paper was very detailed, the household registration police still took the trouble to ask many questions, including where they came from, who was missing from the family, what they did for a living, and whether anyone in the family was an official or had any honors. ... No matter how big or small the matter is, ask questions one by one.
Although the number of questions was off-putting, there was an undeniable look on their smiling faces. Li Xiaoliu has already come to say hello: You must not refuse to answer when registering for household registration, otherwise you will not be able to apply for household registration, you will not be able to get a temporary ID card, and you will not be able to stay in Lingao any longer.
Fortunately, they already knew these routines when they read "Notes of Pingkun" and had already prepared the "underwater". Zhuo Yifan was convinced that no flaws were exposed.
Registered a household registration and received an ID card. The policemen took their leave. Wan Lifeng sent them out respectfully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they came back.
"It went well this time!"
"Thanks to us for having "Ping Kun's Notes"!" Meng Bofei looked solemn, "Kun's hand is very powerful. If you are not prepared, you will definitely be exposed today."
Although they hold a deputy position in the team. But in terms of Jianghu experience, he is far superior to Zhuo Yifan. Now register your household registration and get your certificate. Ordinary people would naturally not think anything of it—at most, they would think it was trivial. But it was a very powerful move for this put together team.
As long as one or two of them say something that is inconsistent with the others, flaws will immediately be revealed.
Zhuo Yifan couldn't care less about his emotion. He had to go out immediately and send out the "safe arrival" signal in order to contact Sima Qiudao.
Sending a signal is easy: just place a stone on the public toilet wall in the street where the inn is located.
After sending out the signal, he had not yet received a response. Li Xiaoliu had already come to invite him to attend a "lecture meeting."
The customers of "Qiong'an Inn" are almost all wealthy landlords who plan to come to Lingao to "escape the hustle and bustle": some of them sold their land and houses and fled with their families because of the disaster in their hometowns; some of them were looking at the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the year, there were signs of chaos in the world, so he sent several nephews to Lingao to buy houses and land to prepare a way out for the family, making preparations for "three cunning rabbit holes".
No matter what the motivation is, these people carry a large amount of money to buy properties in Lingao and settle down. Lingao is certainly a peaceful place. But the social management model here is completely modern. Not to mention the rich and wealthy people from small places, even the landowners from the capital and Jiangnan may not be able to adapt to local rules and customs.
In order to prevent customers from being flogged or digging for sand soon after arriving in Lingao, Li Xiaopeng specially prepared an "Immigration and Naturalization Seminar" for new customers.
This seminar is hosted by the inn. The process was to invite naturalized cadres from the Lingao County Office to first introduce the basic laws and policies of Lingao: To this end, Li Xiaopeng also spent his own money to print a booklet and provide it to customers. Then there is the relevant investment promotion.
As the "young master", Zhuo Yifan naturally couldn't refuse - he came to Gao under the pretense of buying a house and moving there.
The seminar will be held in the garden of the inn. In order to meet the needs of customers for "Ming style lifestyle", "Qiong'an Inn" specially set up a courtyard in the garden, equipped with a flower hall and a small stage. It can be used by wealthy people to entertain themselves and watch movies to relieve their loneliness and emptiness.
There were already many people sitting in the flower hall. These are the big business owners who have recently arrived in Lingao. There are elderly people with gray beards, handsome young people, and even middle-aged people who have become slightly stout. All of them were covered in silk and satin, but their expressions were a little frightened. Although everyone says that Lingao is a paradise on earth. But this place is actually no longer under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. From the moment they entered Qiongzhou, the innkeeper sent to greet them repeatedly reminded them: the rules here are different from those in the Ming Dynasty, so remember not to do anything unauthorized.
Many families bring their own children, even if they only send their children. He also brought a large amount of property with him. A slight mistake in this strange land would be a disaster for a family.
The only local person they can trust right now is the owner of "Joan's Inn". Therefore, I attach great importance to this "lecture meeting". Not only the old and young men in charge came. Bamboo curtains were hung in the back row - obviously there were many female relatives here.
Before the lecture had begun, the flower hall was buzzing with hushed voices.
Zhuo Yifan took the book boy with him. Li Xiaoliu led him to sit down at an empty table, which was already filled with tea and four-color fruit snacks.
Li Xiaoliu whispered: "Master Zhuo, please sit down. This is the "Guide to Immigration and Naturalization". The key points of the lecture are all in it. You can listen and read it when the time comes. It will be easy to understand."
After Xiaoliu finished speaking, he filled the teacup in front of him with tea, and carefully stepped out.
After a while, Li Xiaopeng led a "fake Kun" with short hair and gray four-pocket clothes to come - Zhuo Yifan knew that this was probably the so-called "cadre". It is said that Shi Weng said that these "fake Kun" were scoundrels of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Even if they could not support themselves and were unwilling to die, they all defected to the Kun thief to help the tigers. They were all the powerful minions of the Kun thief. Many loyal people in the imperial court were lost at their hands.
Zhuo Yifan wanted to see what this "effective minion" looked like, but when he looked closely, he saw that he was just an ordinary young man: thirty years old at most, with ordinary appearance and dark complexion. He has short hair like a monk, his face is clean and there is no beard at all. Wearing a gray cotton double-breasted jacket, with patches on the elbows and other areas - he looks very poor, but his clothes are clean and neat, and his whole body exudes cleanliness. He has a natural canvas satchel slung across his body.
Li Xiaopeng said a few words at the beginning, which were nothing more than polite words for the occasion, and introduced the visitor as "the clerk of the Civil Affairs Section of the Lingao County Office of the Ethnic Affairs Committee."
Zhuo Yifan didn't know what kind of official position this title was. But I guess he was a scribe or something - I secretly despised him.
He saw the other party standing in front of the table in the center, taking off his shoulder bag and placing it on the table. He raised his eyes and swept across the flower hall. His eyes were calm and calm. He was not at all like the subordinate officials of the Ming Dynasty he had seen, who were either submissive, smiling flatteringly, or pretentious. A gloomy, sinister and vicious expression.
He secretly admired in his heart: Kun Thief really has talents in his hands!
The "fake Kun" was not polite, and started to preach local policies and regulations in a few words.
Zhuo Yifan originally thought he was just here to enjoy the occasion, but now he restrained his arrogance and listened carefully.
There are several parts to the lecture. The first part is about legal provisions related to daily life, such as the "Health Regulations", "City Appearance Regulations" and "Public Security Law"... These are all things that we come into contact with every day. If we are not careful, we may It's offensive. For people who came from the Ming Dynasty and haven't had time to change their old living habits, it takes only a matter of minutes to "break the law" - they may even break the law as soon as they go out on the street.
For these wealthy households, the regulations have little to do with them, such as spitting and urinating. They have servants carrying spit boxes when they go out. As for urinating and defecating, they also know how to show some dignity. It will not be convenient on the street. However, all the "privileges" in social life that the wealthy gentry were accustomed to were absolutely prohibited under the rule of the Senate.
In other words, the government is not something that the rich gentry can use with just a piece of paper, nor can they become the "fundamentals of the country" just because you are a grain farmer or have a good reputation, and you will be given "a little dignity" in everything. , can enjoy various legal exemptions and preferential treatment.
The phrase "everyone is equal before the law" is so shocking that it makes wealthy people accustomed to privileges feel uneasy. how? Do you want to be on an equal footing with Diao Min in the future? Those unscrupulous people, who originally had government boards and standing cages, but also had to protest against rent from time to time, will they still be able to live like this if "everyone is equal"?
The wealthy people present here began to retreat in their hearts. They had already brought their whole families and began to regret their haste.
"The so-called equality before the law does not mean that people are biased against the poor, but that they act impartially based on facts and the law! Under the governance of our Senate, we will not favor the poor because of wealth, gender, place of origin or any other reasons. Who will protect whom? I think everyone knows that some officials in the Ming Dynasty pride themselves on being honest and upright: when the rich and the poor litigate, he favors the poor; when the rich and scholars litigate, he favors the scholars... There is no such thing here. !" He said, chopping his hand down, "We will protect whoever is reasonable and legal, and whoever is unreasonable and breaks the law, the law will never bypass him!"
Zhuo Yifan secretly sneered: You can say such false and beautiful words, Kun thief is really shameless. Not to mention whether they will favor the poor, just say that "everyone is equal". There has been a saying in all dynasties that "princes who commit crimes are as guilty as the people", but who takes it seriously? You must know that "punishment cannot bring justice to a doctor" is also a sage's saying.
Sure enough, the faces of the big business owners around them all showed doubtful expressions.
The cadre seemed to know what they were thinking, and said: "I know you won't believe it for a while. But you will have a long time in Lingao, so you can experience for yourself whether what I said today is true or false." (To be continued...)
