Chapter 1 Chengdu, 1937

Yang Ming shook his head, took out a large front door cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a big puff before looking at the interview room outside the Jiuyanqiao Police Sergeant Training Center.

For a while, Yang Ming's mood was a little complicated.

In 1937, I actually crossed decades to come to this bloody era.

In this year, the Lugou Bridge Incident, after which Japan officially invaded China, began the arduous eight-year war of resistance at home, and it was from here that China's 50,000,000 compatriots began to suffer from life and death.

This year, the northern region gradually became urgent, all industries were abandoned, as Jiang Zhongzheng moved the capital to the southwest of Chongqing became a safe place in the eyes of the world, for a time the wealthy family and businessmen gathered, from September to November in just two months the population of Chengdu increased by three percent.

This year, the sergeant still followed the "Temporary Police Officer and Other Officials Table" promulgated by the Republic of China government in 1931, and the entire sergeant system was divided into 4 levels and 37 levels. A newly recruited sergeant is appointed as a 16th sergeant, and he can get 83.6 yuan in legal currency, and the price of rice at that time was 1 cent and 5 cents a catty, which is equivalent to 5,573 catties of rice, which is enough for a family of five to spend a year.

........

According to the memory of the body, the original owner of the body has the same name and surname as him, and he is still a serious returnee, and he has to be said to be definitely the last character in this era.

It's just that he knows his own things, Yang Ming has not learned the advanced culture of foreign countries in the past few years, and he has learned all kinds of eating, drinking, and playing with women.

Originally, if you don't return to China, it's actually a good life, but first, you were expelled from the college, and second, you can't return to China if your visa expires.

In the end, Yang Ming had no choice, Yang Ming bought a ticket to return to China and used the last remaining 97 pounds on his body to buy a fake graduation certificate, so that he, a foreign student, finally returned from his studies.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Ming, who died hungry on the way back to China, was occupied by the souls of later generations with the same name and surname.

However, after letting Yang Ming go home, he found that his family had already sold his family wealth in order to maintain his large expenses in the UK, and moved from Shehong to Chengdu.

If that's all there is to it, it's better to say.

After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Yang family's generations of accumulation, even if they fall, at least they can mix a stable life with surplus food compared to the upper and lower than the bottom.

But I didn't want to move to Chengdu less than half a year ago, the Yang family's second aunt Xiao Shuzhen actually got along with a local rich businessman, relying on the power of the rich businessman, Xiao Shuzhen not only ignored the thirteen-year-old young daughter, but also proposed a sum of up to 3W fiat currency, which completely crushed the entire Yang family.

In the end, the only thing left of the Yang family was a three-entry courtyard, and the old man Yang was not angry, and after dismissing the remaining long-term servants, only three rooms were left for living, and the rest were all rented out for daily expenses, and then he waited for his son to return to China with peace of mind.

In Mr. Yang's opinion, his son will be afraid of a rich businessman when he comes back after studying abroad?

It's just that the old man never dreamed that his son on his hopes not only did not learn the ability to revive the family business in England, but even changed people to another soul.

Fortunately, the word returnee is very useful in both previous and future lives, whether it is a government civil servant or a common person, when facing returnees, whether the other party is really literate or fake, cultured, there is a sense of inferiority complex.

Well, it's awesome.

In this way, Yang Ming didn't even test the written test and physical fitness, so he came directly to the last hurdle - the interview.

Taking a deep breath, then throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stepping on it, Yang Ming walked outside the interview room to wait for the summons.

The government of this era has been corrupted to the roots, and if you want to enter the police training center, you need to first have a certain amount of knowledge, then you need to be healthy, and more importantly, you need to have money.

As long as the interviewer accepts the money and nods, it can be regarded as an admission, and it becomes a warning to wear the tiger skin that represents legal robbery.

Now Yang Ming is carrying a full 1,000 pieces of fiat currency, which is the last family foundation of the Yang family, and it is also the last start-up capital that the old man Yang hid and left for his son.

In this era, being a civil servant is undoubtedly the best choice for every young person.

Of course, the way out is not only to be a civil servant, you can also be a businessman or a soldier, if you can't do it, you can also do things under the arrangement of the dock bastard brother and then the robe brother, if you don't even accept the robe, then you can't really be on the mud and can't support the wall.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called robe brother association began in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, since the 30th year of Guangxu Baolu Movement (you can Baidu for information related to the road movement) gradually grew, after the Xinhai Revolution in Sichuan almost developed to ten adult men, there are eight robe brothers.

According to Wang Youyu's "Experiences Before and After the Establishment of the Sichuan Military Government of the Han Dynasty", Yin Changheng was the governor of the Sichuan Military Government of the Han Dynasty and openly advocated the Pao Gehui.

On the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he hung out a signboard of 'Da Han Gong', and called himself the 'helmsman' of Da Han Gong, and in the few days after he took the stage, he had to go to the 'Gongkou and Wharf' in various streets of Chengdu every day to pay homage to customers, and all Gongkou Wharves also hung red toasts for him, and every time he came out, he would come back wearing a red silk or red cloth. After piling up on the bed, he went to pay his respects again, and if he went back and forth to visit the guests, he wore red, so that no one could be found to row the official business that the governor's office was in a hurry to deal with.

It wasn't until Zhou Jun took office as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Government that a 'mainland public' signboard was also hung out at the entrance of the military and political department to .......

During this time, the military governments of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan provinces jointly sent a telegram denouncing the Chengdu military government as the 'Pao Ge government' and saying that they would not recognize it. Yin Changheng saw that the wind outside was not good, so he ordered the ban of the Pao Brothers' Association, so more than 200 public signboards in Chengdu were all cleaned up, but on the surface, the signboards were accepted, but in fact, they still continued to develop secretly

In addition to the largest development of the Pao Brothers' Association in Sichuan, there are also Pao Brothers' Associations all over the country, and even in the middle of the Republic of China, they seem to have penetrated into government departments and the military, and their influence is not far behind that of the Qing Gang in Shanghai at that time.

But the same robe brother actually has a clear and muddy difference.

Most of the Qing Shui robes have legitimate occupations, and "obeying the law and teaching righteousness and etiquette" is the basic condition, among which intellectuals, enlightened gentry, and young students are the majority. And the members of Brother Muddy Water Robe are complex, bullies, bandits, robbers, all three religions and nine streams, doing evil, and the main profession is "bandits".

Therefore, the "clear water" robe brother generally plays the role of helping the poor and maintaining order, while the "muddy water" robe brother is avoided. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, bandits were rampant in Sichuan, which had an important relationship with the "muddy water" robe.

Thinking about things in his heart, Yang Ming waited for about three minutes, and Yang Ming's name sounded in the interview room.

Note: (Long years: After the Xinhai Revolution, slavery was abolished in China, but two special terms were added to the people because of the needs of the gentry, namely long-term and short-term labor. Here, as the name suggests, people who have worked for the gentry for many years are actually similar to slaves, but the name is better, and they are all dependent on the gentry to live. This kind of person is pitiful, but in fact he can survive even in a famine year, after all, he is backed by the gentry, and it is a very lucky thing for many poor people to be able to serve the gentry for a long time. Short-term workers are needed when the gentry are in urgent need of help, such as the busy agricultural season, the Spring Festival, and ancestor worship. )
