Zhang Shaotang approached the merchant Shi Li and said, "Is my brother also going to extend?" How about walking with us along the way? ”

"I happened to be in Yanchang County, of course it's good to walk together, there is someone to talk to on the way." The merchant looked at Zhang Shaotang, saw that he looked like a gentleman, and happily walked with them.

Zhang Shaotang chatted with the businessman while walking, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Zhang Shaotang deliberately turned the topic to this "temporary residence permit".

Zhang Shaotang took out his temporary residence permit and asked: "This security army actually used this broken piece of iron to collect money, isn't it a snake to add to this extra move?" It's better to ask for money directly. ”

"Is ten cents a lot? Ten cents is nothing at all, but a temporary residence permit is of great use. In Yanchang County, which can prove your identity, you can't move an inch without it, and you must take out your temporary residence permit in time when you encounter an inspection by the security army, otherwise you will really be arrested to dig coal. Remember that we are taking a temporary residence permit, which is for us to do business, and don't go to some places that we shouldn't go, and it will be bad if we go to be examined. Seeing that he had not seen the temporary residence permit, the merchant hastened to warn him not to despise it.

Zhang Shaotang still didn't understand at all, so he asked, "Do the local people also have this temporary residence permit?" ”

"People in Yanchang, both adults and children, have an iron piece to prove their identity, but the locals don't take temporary residence permits, they take ID cards, which are a little bigger than ours, and other places are similar. In a few days, I opened a store in Yanchang, and I can get my ID card. The merchant looked very yearning.

"What's the use of one person, isn't it the same as someone from outside who takes a local's sign to pretend to be a local?" Zhang Shaotang remembered that the official army also issued waist cards or something, but if someone robbed it, it would be difficult to distinguish between the pretends. Isn't it easier to lose a brand for one person?

"You underestimate the security army, this brand is said to be carefully designed by Zhang Chu, the commander of the security army, look at this brand, the curved pattern on the top is a kind of text called security numbers, and many people in the security army know it. The security forces numbered all parts of the country, with the first half indicating that you were from which province you were from, the middle being your date and date of birth, and the last being the code of your township and the signs of men and women. An experienced security guard can tell at a glance what you are from and how old you are. Whether it's a local or an outsider like the two of us. The middle row is a text called pinyin, which is known to the children in the Yanchang School, and it is your name. When someone asks you, your answer should match the one on your temporary residence card, and don't say the word, number, or anything. The merchant patiently explained to Zhang Shaotang.

"That's fine, the locals and outsiders will know it when they look it up. But if an outsider of the same age snatched the ID card of a local, wouldn't he be able to see it? Zhang Shaotang's mind was very flexible, and he immediately discovered the loophole above.

"You don't know this, there are even more amazing ones on this side, you look at the row below." The merchant said, pointing to the pattern of a row of forks and circles on the bottom of the temporary residence card.

"What is this?" Zhang Shaotang found that the pattern was also chiseled with a chisel.

"If you look at your hand and compare it with your temporary residence permit, this fork is the dustpan on the road of your fingerprints, and this circle is the bucket on your lines, and the ten fingers are chiseled on it in order. Everyone is different, and according to the security forces, there are only two of the same in 70 million people, and they have to be of the same age to be interchangeable, which is too rare. It is impossible for outsiders to impersonate the identity of locals. "Businessmen are very talkative and have a sense of accomplishment in telling things that others don't know.

"That's right, there is such a wonderful idea, but if someone understands the meaning of these patterns, and then finds a piece of iron and chisels it himself, won't he be able to see it?" Zhang Shaotang was there to get to the bottom of it. "You see this iron sheet, it is a special iron sheet produced by Zhongyang, and other places can't produce it at all, and the pattern of this seal on it is a stainless steel mold driven by a forging hammer driven by water power, and ordinary people can't do it at all, so you don't have to think about forging this ID card." The merchant is quite familiar with Yanchang and talks about everything in the first place. "So what's the use of this temporary residence permit?" Zhang Shaotang felt that the trip would not be so smooth. "It's very useful, you have to show this temporary residence permit when you are extending your stay in the hotel, passing the checkpoint, and trading with people, and you will not really be caught digging coal." The merchant reminded Zhang Shaotang.

Zhang Shaotang felt a chill, that is, after the extension, no matter what he did, the other party knew that he was not a local, and he could not say that he was a fake identity when he was checked on the road, and he must always use the identity registered on the card.

Zhang Shaotang wondered if he would quit Yanchang County, it was too dangerous here. It is possible that nothing will be found and that it will still be discovered.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the merchant didn't say anything more, and walked forward silently together.

A few people hurried to the road, Zhang Shaotang observed the scenery on the side of the road, the crops in the fields were growing very well, and the vehicles and pedestrians pulling goods on the road kept walking by, and they didn't look like they were affected at all. Outside legends say that the security army successfully fought the disaster, the farmers' fields were harvested, and the factories began to recruit displaced people to work, so that the displaced people could have food, which may be true.

The inspection at the gate of Yanchang City was not very strict, Zhang Shaotang and others took out their temporary residence permits and showed them to the guards, and they were put into Yanchang City. Zhang Shaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

The merchant was very familiar with Yanchang City, and introduced the situation in the city to Zhang Shaotang as he walked. At first glance, it looks like I often come to prolong business.

The merchant took them to a good inn, and the man came and greeted them warmly.

The merchant handed the temporary residence permit to the man, and the man carefully registered it in a notebook.

Zhang Shaotang asked: "Don't you often walk here, and you are very familiar with them, why do you have to register in such detail?" I'm afraid that you owe money and run away? “

The merchant said with a smile: "They know that I will not run away in arrears, registration is a requirement of the yamen, if I miss the registration of the guest's store, they will be punished for bankruptcy, they don't dare to be careless." “

Seeing this, Zhang Shaotang could only follow the example of a businessman and hand over the temporary residence permit to the guy, and the guy also carefully registered before letting them move in.

The man led Zhang Shaotang and others to the room, Zhang Shaotang lived in an upper room by himself, and the two entourages lived in a room, and the room was not very clean and tidy. Waiting for the guy to retreat, Zhang Shaotang sat at the table drinking tea and thinking about what to do next, is it too reckless to come to extend it in person this time.

At the same time, the guy had sent the contents of the registration to a small leader of the Security Army Statistics Bureau, and the guy reported: "This person entered the extension from the bayonet in the direction of Yan'an Mansion, saying that he was doing business, and he could bring very few goods. Could it be a spy of the official army? “

The little boss said to the guy: "You have done a good job, pay close attention to the movements of these three people, and if you do a good job, you may be able to join the Bureau of Statistics this time." “

The guy was a peripheral member of the Bureau of Statistics, and when he found something suspicious, he immediately reported it to the people of the Bureau of Statistics.

This material really attracted the attention of the Bureau of Statistics, and it was reported layer by layer, and finally the information was reported to Zhang Chu through Guo Xiyuan.

Zhang Chu was very happy to see the information, and said to Guo Xiyuan: "Come to the guest, it's good to come to the guest." We are going to entertain them well. (To be continued.) )
