Three hundred and eleventh section successfully infiltrated
Lin Ming stayed at Dongshan Residence for a few more days, until the quarantine period expired, then he paid off his wages, packed his clothes and said goodbye to get off the ship. Manager Liu had to show off some principles of life, so Lin Ming was naturally just the only one.
According to the instructions of the port administration, Lin Ming hurriedly went to the customs building to apply for a temporary ID card as soon as he got off the ship. He was from a powerful agency, and generally knew that this was a "guide" and "waist badge" for the thief. There was no such thing.
It was difficult to move in Lingao. He knew from the mouths of merchants that even businessmen who came to Lingao for a short period of time to do business had to apply for a "temporary permit", otherwise they would not be able to get to the shore, stay in a hotel, and encounter thieves.
If you don't have documents, you'll have to stay in the ward for one night until you can find someone to prove it. If you can't find someone to prove it, you'll have to dig sand at the river construction site for several months.
Although the pier was bustling with people and the roads were complicated, the traffic signs here were very clear, which was even easier for a literate person like Lin Ming. He made it all the way to the door of the customs building without much effort.
Although the Customs Building bears the name of "Customs", it is actually the comprehensive office building of various departments in Bobu Port. Since the Senate implements a nearly free trade import and export tax rate, the actual business of the Customs is pitifully small, and the natural organization
The company and staff are also very "skilled" and do not occupy a few offices.
For the purpose of streamlining the organization, Lingao's port authority includes various functional departments that performed official duties at the port in the old time and space, except for customs and police. And everyone who wants to stay in Lingao must obtain a temporary certificate.
The top priority of police agencies.
Although the National Police does not sound as high-end as the General Administration of Political Security, in terms of specific operations, it can be regarded as the cornerstone of all powerful agencies. Not only are most technical investigation projects controlled by the National Police, but also various powerful agencies rely on them to control basic public sentiment.
It is carried out by the national police agencies.
After the comprehensive land clearing in Hainan was completed, the national police began to deploy police agencies and comprehensively clean up household registrations. This work first started from the more densely populated developed counties in Qiongbei, and then advanced to the south. Not only did all the police mobilized,
A large number of Fubo Army and Fangcaodi trainees were also mobilized. By the end of 1633, the household registration statistics, registration and issuance of identity documents for the Han, Miao and Shuli populations in the original Ming Dynasty-ruled areas of Hainan Island had been completed.
We have a rough grasp of the population figures, age composition and gender ratio of Hainan Island.
On this basis, starting from 1631, the national police began to establish temporary ID cards at several major population entry points in Hainan in response to the increase in the number of foreign traders, seasonal day laborers, and immigrants who took the initiative to go to Lingao, Qiongshan and other places.
The registration and issuance point has established a short-term stay system with a permit. Under this system, foreign residents can apply for a temporary ID card from fifteen days to one year according to their own needs. If any foreign population is found to have not obtained a temporary ID card
Those traveling in Hainan will be arrested immediately upon encountering an inspection. At the same time, people without documents cannot stay in hotels, rent houses, be employed, or apply for business licenses. In short, it will be difficult to move around without documents.
Whether it is the National Police, the Political Security Bureau, or the Civil Affairs People's Committee. Even various government departments including the Planning Institute and the Senate are eager to understand the dynamics of the floating population - this has begun to appear in many places in Lingao and Hainan.
Social characteristics of the pre-industrial era. To control the floating population, it is necessary to comprehensively monitor the dynamics of the population. Entry and exit registration, ID card and household registration systems, plus accommodation registration and employment registration, can be achieved even under rudimentary technical conditions.
Roughly guarantee a certain level of social control.
Lin Ming didn't understand the twists and turns, but he knew the power of this system. When he arrived at the registration office, he first registered and filled out a form, followed by a physical examination: the so-called physical examination was just taking off your clothes and letting the health worker take a look.
Check to see if there are any epidemic diseases. With the high level of health care and administrative resources, it is not possible to allow everyone who enters the country to undergo "purification". Only "immigration" organized by the Senate and through recruitment,
Only "immigrants" who entered school or joined the army enjoyed such treatment. However, in Lin Ming's opinion, being "religious" was not a good thing - even with this shrunken "physical examination", he felt humiliated.
"I didn't expect that I, the noble guard of the hundred households, would be subjected to such a shame and humiliation! I must be at odds with the Kun thieves!" Lin Ming came out of the physical examination room, fastened his belt, and thought fiercely.
Holding the medical examination form with a "good" result, Lin Ming returned to the counter. Sitting at the wooden counter was a female Kun, who was also wearing a cotton uniform, but it was black. She had short hair cut close to her ears -
―This hairstyle already struck Lin Ming as shocking: not only was it inappropriate, but it was also ugly. I really don’t know how Kun Thief managed to achieve such beauty and ugliness!
"Press fingerprints, one in each box. Don't press the wrong one!" Nu Kun ordered. Lin Ming, under the guidance of a naturalized policeman next to him, pressed the fingerprints of ten fingers on the registration form one by one. Then he added another
Do the same thing on a small piece of cardboard.
"Okay, this is your temporary ID card." Nu Kun finally put the jammed paper under a strange machine, pressed the iron handle hard, took it out with a click, and handed it to Lin Ming, "It is valid for one year.
, you will have to come back to renew your certificate after it expires.”
Lin Ming took the "Australian Road Guide" and saw that it not only had his ten fingerprints, but also his name, age, height and facial features, as well as a string of Arabic numerals. There was a circular seal on it - but
It was not bright red, but embossed with a mold. Lin Ming knew that this hand alone could basically eliminate the possibility of counterfeiting. Looking more carefully, it turned out that this cardboard was not ordinary thick paper. It was not only thick but also heavy.
It is strong and has fine and complex patterns on the paper, which cannot be carved out by ordinary woodblocks.
He hid the road guide close to his body. It was the most important thing. If Lingao was gone, he would be unable to move. He also followed Nu Kun's instructions and exchanged some circulation coupons at Delong's counter - Lingao had completely banned money.
The circulation of silver and copper coins.
Just as he was about to go out, a middle-aged woman behind a table at the door immediately came over with a smile on her face:
"Young boy, you just arrived in Lingao! Do you have any relatives or friends in Lingao? No? Hey, you really have no relatives. You don't look like a rich person. It will be difficult to get around in a new place. I see you
If you are handsome, talented, and can read and write, why not come and join the vocational training class organized by our Civil Affairs People's Committee! You will study in the class for three months, and you will be assigned to a variety of places. Those who are willing to work, and those who are willing to serve as soldiers, if
If you finish the training with good grades, you can directly become a cadre...Shave your head? It's not beheading. If your hair falls out, it can still grow. And after shaving, it will be clean and tidy, no fleas will appear on the head, and it will be convenient to take a bath...Serve the Senate and you can eat well.
I am full, have a house to live in, and a wife... Hey, hey, don't leave, this great opportunity is in front of you, don't miss it..."
Lin Ming fled as if he had escaped from the female cadre's barrage of words, but he also knew that the Kun thieves valued educated people very much, and they were the focus of the search, so he wanted to rebel just because of this.
After leaving the customs building, he decided not to stay here. There were many people here, and there were many guards. With his eyesight, he could easily spot the plainclothes officers operating near the port terminal. It was said that the great hermit was hidden in the city, so Lin Ming decided to
The first step is to go straight to Dongmen City, find a job there, find a place to live, and then slowly get to know the news after you settle down.
When he was exchanging the circulation coupons, he had already found out that Dongmen City is not far from here and is connected by major roads. It only takes more than half an hour to walk there. You can also take a public carriage, but the most convenient way is to take the "Lingao City Railway"
". Seeing how cool he was, the girl at the exchange counter suggested that he go and "take a seat" and "open his eyes". She even pointed the way for him: "After leaving the pier, walk along the road and see
A three-story red brick house with several arches underneath is the station."
He carried the package on his back and headed to the town of Bobu. Originally, except for a few fishing households...
Apart from this, there is hardly any permanent population. Now it has become a lively port town, with all the houses and streets new and neat. The wide streets paved with black gravel smell of seawater and fishery.
There were many shops on both sides, bustling with people. Lin Ming noticed that many of the people in the crowd were "newcomers" like him - they were in rags, carrying a small package on their backs, and walking timidly. This made him
I felt much more at ease.
He walked to a tall red brick house, and saw people pouring out from several arches like a tide, and many people pouring in from other arches. He thought that this was it. Then he looked at the three lintels.
There are big red characters: "Bopu Station".
Although the new immigrants to Bopu have heard similar recommendations, most of them have no idea about the "train", let alone entering the "station" for the first time in their lives. Many people linger at the door and dare not go in.
He just looked around at the door. Fortunately, the guys in blue at the station were very enthusiastic and kept greeting and guiding people into the station. Some of them were illiterate and even helped to buy tickets for them. Lin Ming was so literate that he just had to follow the signs.
Smooth traffic: Where to enter, where to buy tickets, where to go and what price, all are clearly written in big white letters on a blue background. There are people inside the station to guide and greet people. Therefore, although there are many people coming in and out, it is not chaotic.
Lin Ming saw the price clearly and bought a ticket to Dongmen City. When he got the ticket, it was a small one, thicker than the thickest and strongest leaf sign. It read "Bopu-Dongmen City"
", "Second Class Car". At the bottom is the date and a line of small words: only available on that day. (To be continued)
