Chapter 652: Governance
Three days later, under the arrangement of the Imperial Cabinet, hundreds of personnel of the Empire finally arrived in Shucheng in a suspended carriage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This group of personnel is ordered to go to Shucheng and is responsible for the handling of ID cards, including grassroots officials, photographers, and personnel who register ID card information.
According to the idea of the emperor and the cabinet, the policy implemented by the empire in Yunzhou will be implemented from Shucheng, and only if the people of Shucheng complete the registration and receive their ID cards, they will continue to implement it in the next city of Yunzhou until all the people of Yunzhou have ID cards.
Moreover, there is still a certain degree of flexibility at this stage, and any people who have not completed the registration of their identity information in time can still complete the re-application at the official processing time recognized by the Xinghua Empire. Only the people who do not do it after the expiration date and do not want to have an ID card will not be recognized by the Xinghua Empire.
Yunzhou Shucheng, East Street Fulinfang.
This is the most commercial atmosphere in Shucheng market, gathering a large number of varieties of shops, there are silk and satin, jewelry and spices, household goods and so on. Every day, most of the shops can be seen without exception, crowded and lively. There are also people from different walks of life, engaged in various activities, and the bustling flow of people, shoulder to shoulder, each busy, open. Sometimes there are some itinerant vendors, and the stalls are filled with all kinds of goods and snacks, which can be described as everything and very prosperous.
Most of the buildings here are also relatively tall, and the houses on both sides seem to stretch all the way to the suburbs. However, it is not all shops, there are independent houses, and there are also residential houses behind the shops. As a result, there are a large number of people living here, most of whom are merchant families or commoners.
On this day, the owner of Fu Lin Fang gathered the heads of each family to his home to discuss important matters together.
It's just that, unlike every gathering in the past, when most of the family owners arrived at the owner's house, they invariably found that there was a strong and serious atmosphere everywhere inside and outside the house, and there were soldiers of the Xinghua Army everywhere, which made people nervous.
When they gathered together and waited for a while, the owner of the Fulin Fang finally appeared in front of everyone, and when they saw the owner, these unknown owners suddenly seemed to have exploded, and they rushed to verify the facts: "The owner of the house, you summoned us over, did something big happen?" There are soldiers everywhere to guard it, is this what?"
"This is ordered by the adults in the prefect's yamen, and I won't tell you anything, but I don't know what is going on. The owner frowned deeply and answered softly.
It's a pity that the owner of the workshop is obviously not an insider, and, unlike these owners who can ask the doubts in their hearts arbitrarily, when the owner of the workshop is talking, he always subconsciously looks at the Xinghua soldiers who look serious like sculptures and look like no one is close.
Because, he has more worries than these family masters, and he is not sure of the intention of these Xinghua soldiers to guard here, so he does not dare to talk nonsense at will and cause unwarranted disasters.
But it didn't take long for things to change.
Soon, thousands of people gathered in the owner's house, each of whom represented a family, and each family had a small number of three or four people or dozens of people, and this did not include certain cases, for example, that some families had a large number of slaves in their homes.
While everyone was talking, a young official in the uniform of the Xinghua Empire stood on a makeshift high platform. With his appearance, everyone's attention quickly focused on him, and gradually quieted down.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, the young official, Hatch, faced the crowd and said slowly: "Everyone, I am Hatch, an official of the Imperial Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I was ordered to set up a Civil Affairs Bureau in Shucheng. The main work of the Civil Affairs Bureau is to register the household registration and make the identity card. The ID card is the family register of the empire. In the future, a person who does not have an identity card is not a citizen of the empire, and is automatically deemed to have renounced all real estate in the empire, such as real estate and real estate. In short, if you don't have a household registration in the Xinghua Empire, you have to pay a tax if you want to own real estate and real estate. If you don't have an ID, the Empire will confiscate your property and property and distribute it to those in need. ”
As soon as these words fell, it was not surprising that they immediately aroused everyone's complaints: "Our ancestors have lived here for generations, why do you want to confiscate our property?"
Hatch had expected these dissatisfactions they were showing, and he did not move in the slightest, but simply and directly threatened: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, if he is unwilling to join the Xinghua Empire, he is the people of the enemy country." The people of the enemy country are spies. For spies, the Xinghua Army has the right to impose penalties such as imprisonment and even death. ”
Despite the excitement at the scene, Hatch did not care, and in order to digest the occupied territories as soon as possible and harvest the population and wealth of the occupied territories, the empire imposed an ID card system, and if necessary, it could take drastic measures.
It seems that seeing Hatch's attitude cold and resolute, the scene that was originally full of complaints gradually turned into whispers. These people, naturally, are still not satisfied with these regulations, but looking at the armed soldiers stationed next to them, they are also self-aware, and no one dares to slap a swollen face and become fat, and they want to be this bird.
"Now, those who are willing to register their household registration information will stand on the right, and those who do not want to stand on the left. Hatch didn't wait for what the men could say, but went on to give them instructions.
"Those who are willing to become citizens of the Xinghua Empire should stand on the right, and those who are unwilling should stand on the left. The owner sighed and stood to the right.
Most of the residents of the city stood on the right side with the owner.
About a hundred people, still standing in place, some at a loss, some apparently unable to make a decision.
Hatch smiled and said loudly to everyone, "Very good, I don't care what reason you don't want to register. I have to tell you that you will have a month to register your property. Without the Imperial Family Register, it is deemed that the property is automatically abandoned. One more thing, I must tell you, people who do not have an identity card cannot register their property. In the future, if you want to apply for an ID card and register a real estate, you can only go to the prefect's yamen to queue up to get the number and wait for the schedule. All the consequences are at your own risk. ”
"Alright, you can go. With a wave of his hand, Hatch sent troops to drive away those who did not want to choose.
Representatives of more than 100 households were evicted from the owner's house.
In order to speed up the implementation of the Yunzhou ID card system, the Civil Affairs Bureau has launched an on-site office service and prepared it."
This time the on-site office, the Civil Affairs Bureau is preparing to make a simplified version of the ID card. A crystal energy generator, 10 laptops with cameras, 10 printers, 1 plasticizer, and 10 scissors were prepared.
The process of making a simple ID card is extremely simple, ask the head of the household name, date of birth, and residential address, and then take a photo with a camera, make a spreadsheet with a photo, and then print the form, one side of the form is the national flag of the Xinghua Empire, the other side is the document information and photo, and then plastic, it is an ID card that can be used for ten years.
This process is extremely simple, you can use ten people to print a piece of paper at a time, and then cut it with scissors, and then plastic, and it takes less than five minutes to complete ten ID cards.
About two hours later, the residents who had gathered at the owner's house received their identity cards.
Hatch stood on the stage again and read out the announcement of the Shucheng Civil Affairs Bureau and the Police Department, the importance of ID cards, and warned them not to lose their ID cards, and to report the loss and reissue of lost ID cards in time. In particular, the police station in Shucheng will adopt a system of recognition and certification. If you don't have an ID card, you'll be evicted from the city. The police can also detain undocumented persons if there is a suspicion. Walking on the land of the Xinghua Empire, the ID card is the pass. It will also be more convenient for nationals to enter any government department and carry their ID cards......
After some advice, Hatch added: "We will be staying at Fulm Place for a full day, and if someone in your family needs to apply for an ID card, you can come here as soon as possible." Otherwise, next time you need to go to the yamen in person to queue up. ”
It's just that Hatch waited for a while, and at most four or five hundred people came to apply for ID cards. Most of the residents did not come.
Seven days later, the government meeting of Shucheng in Yunzhou of the Xinghua Empire was held, and the city guard Qin Zhengguo presided over the meeting.
"How is the work of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the police station, and the courts? And how is the implementation of the ID card going?" Qin Zhengguo asked.
"According to our calculations, only two adults have identity cards. Hatch, director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, said.
"What help do you need?" Qin Zhengguo asked.
"To put some pressure on them, I hope the police department will give them some restrictions and let them know how easy it is to have an ID card. Hatch said.
"That's fine, and I don't want the streets to be full of people who don't have IDs. Police Chief Zhao Chang thought for a while and said, "We have compiled a list of Shucheng nobles and landlords, and they are all targets to be liquidated. If they have ID cards, then let them go and confiscate their property, and if they don't have ID cards, even confiscate their property, they will be kept in prison. "This move is undoubtedly an example to the chickens and monkeys.
"The military can also cooperate, and the city gate is divided into two passages. If you have an ID card, take the convenient channel. If you don't have an ID card, you have to check it carefully, and the goods must be opened and inspected. Qin Zhengguo said, he looked at Che Enren.
"The Xiemin Army will cooperate!" Cha Eun-in replied with a nod.
The day after the meeting.
A thousand policemen from the Shucheng Police Department, under the leadership of Zhao Chang, all went out to surround the Fulinfang in Shucheng.
The characters on the liquidation list are all rich and noble families in Shucheng, the best is a marquis, and the worst is also a large landlord who has someone in the Xia court and covers an area of 100 acres. There are 10 households in Fu Linfang, which meet the conditions for liquidation.
For example, Zhao Chang found the first one - the Ji family. The Ji family is a family of military attaches in the Xia Kingdom, and some people have become generals of the Xia army for generations. According to the information in Zhao Chang's hand, Ji Yunlai of the Ji family once participated in the first Yunzhou Campaign, attacked the Xinghua army, and later died in defeat. What's more, there are still people in the Ji family who serve in the Xia State and must be liquidated.
These officers, a quarter of whom have citizenship, are armed with pistols, and the rest are armed with one-metre-long knives with scabbards on the outside.
A group of imperial police surrounded the Ji family, which was undoubtedly a very shocking thing for others.
"This is the property of Xia officials! I expropriate it in the name of the Xinghua Empire, and declare that this is no longer the property of the Xia officials, but the property of the Xinghua Empire. People who live here must be nationals of the Xinghua Empire and must be certified by the Civil Affairs Bureau before they can reapply for residence. Zhao Chang announced.
After Zhao Chang made the public announcement, a team of police began knocking on the door.
The gate of Ji's house was not opened, and someone was blocking the door.
Zhao Chang didn't care, waved his hand to let the police crash open the door, and rushed in.
The door was slammed open, and four or five of the older servants fell to the ground.
"How can you break into our Ji family...... Our Ji family has been loyal to the country for generations, and three generations of the family have all died on the battlefield......" In the door, several women were crying, trying to arouse the sympathy and pity of others.
Hundreds of policemen ignored them and rushed to the inner courtyard. In this operation, the people in the house were cleaned up first, and then the belongings were slowly counted.
Zhao Chang walked to the door and said lightly: "Remembering the kindness of the old country, rather stubborn than effective, it is a spy of the Xia Kingdom, arrest it." ”
The cries of several women suddenly stopped, and they forgot that it was the Xinghua army that occupied Shu City at this time, and it was no longer the Shu army of the Xia Kingdom in the past.
After a while, more than 100 people from the Ji family, including domestic servants, were escorted out.
Zhao Chang was in front of the Ji family, asked the Ji family, and said: "Our two sides have won or lost in the battlefield, one side is defeated, and the other side is victorious. The loser's stuff is naturally the victor's spoils. However, the Emperor of the Xinghua Empire is a benevolent monarch, and if you still want to live in Yunzhou, you can choose to submit to the Empire. You will become a normal citizen, and the Empire will compensate you to keep you alive. If you don't want to, we have no choice but to restrict your personal liberty until we expel you. ”
An elderly man of the Ji family said generously: "My Ji family has received the emperor's favor, and the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king...... I will never bow to you barbarians!" The old man put life and death on the line, fearless of the threat of a thousand policemen.
Zhao Chang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Xinghua Empire is a country that pays attention to the law, and we will not kill people without guilt." The Xinghua Empire does not force you to submit to it. Since you are not willing to submit, the police can only temporarily find a place to restrict your freedom, and send you out of the country at the first opportunity. However, we don't have a joint sitting system, and as a regular we need to ask other people if they are willing to stay in Yunzhou. (To be continued.) )
