Chapter 445: What I Saw and Heard in the North (2)
"Special credentials? Hmph, in this way, it seems that everyone is equal under the rule of the ** army as it advertises, and this privilege is still there after all. ”
Zhang Zhidong seemed to have discovered a prehistoric mystery, straightened his thin chest, gently smoothed his long beard with dry fingers, and there was a lot of disdain in his tone.
The joy that Huang Xing and the others had just flashed was smeared with embarrassment when he said this. He was still boasting loudly about the great achievements of the ** military government, and in a blink of an eye, he was caught by the old man, which is really shameless!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone say aloud: "Hu Gong's words are misunderstood by us." **The government does not leave privileges, but inherits our Chinese etiquette, and treats visiting VIPs with hospitality, so as not to neglect them. ”
A group of people looked at it, but saw a young man wearing a crisp suit, his short hair combed meticulously, and a warm and calm smile, walking behind the middle-aged man who was in contact. Several other special guards in black suits and sunglasses skillfully spread out in all directions, firmly guarding them in the middle.
The young man approached and said to Zhang Zhidong, Huang Xing and the others: "In Xia Ding Weifen, the word Ding Cheng, is now a member of the Southern Committee of the ** Army, and he was appointed by Commander-in-Chief Yang to greet the Hugong. Commander-in-Chief Yang said that Hugong was one of the few enlightened and virtuous people in the Qing court, and he was a pioneer of modern Chinese Westernization, and he made outstanding contributions to the nation-state. Your visit will certainly bring immeasurable positive impetus to our great cause of peaceful reunification of the whole country. He asked me to express my sincere gratitude to the pot on my behalf! ”
Ding Weifen is polite and thoughtful, his stuttering is clear and he says slowly, his demeanor and temperament are so good, even Zhang Zhidong, who is used to seeing the world's talents, can't help but grow up slightly with his old eyes, and secretly praises in his heart: "What a young handsome!" ”
His old gentleman was quite satisfied. Ding Weifen's name has long been known to him. He is not very old, his ambition is not small, and he is the first hero to follow Yang Hao, and he has promoted the cause of land reform and has been hated and feared by countless people.
Such a Yang Hao's cronies came to greet him at the pass, and his face was enough.
The old man's already cultivated favor was not shocked, and his face waved his sleeves lightly with an indifferent face: "Commander-in-Chief Yang is too famous." The old man has lived a hard life, and he should not be a pioneer or a follower. It made Guishang and Commissioner Ding bothered. ”
He made it clear that he would not be flattered, and that he wanted to maintain the boundaries between the two sides. Ding Weifen smiled disapprerovingly, and leaned in: "It's windy outside, and please go to the hall with you to go through the formalities." ”
Li Yuanhong was stunned and quite puzzled when he heard this. Since you have sent important people to greet you, what are the formalities to go through? Do you have to register at the door when someone else comes to your house?
Huang Xing and others were also quite surprised. In their minds, the dignity of Zhang Zhidong's identity is to receive the two lakes along the way, and the ** military government always has to do special things, and send a big man to receive it ceremoniously. When Li Hongzhang was invited to the United States, Yang Hao asked a special team to escort him from his home to Shanghai, and there was a whole fleet to protect him along the way, and the scene was even higher.
Even if Zhang Zhidong is a private interview with Weifu this time, at least he has to do something decent, right?
Although he has a good impression of the ** army, Huang Xing still feels a little dissatisfied. However, he has a family history and has never judged by superficial phenomena, so he first signaled the rest of the people to press the suspicion and watch all the way.
Zhang Zhidong was not displeased, he was originally going to personally explore the various changes under the rule of the ** army. If you simply want to meet with Yang Hao, it is faster to go to sea directly by boat or take the land route in Henan, and change trains.
immediately followed Ding Weifen to a specially isolated passage. In the distance, he found that the blue sign on the top of the passage was specially marked with the words "VIP" in English and "VIP Channel" in Chinese.
Huang Xing took a step behind and quietly asked the middle-aged man who went to contact: "Did Brother Shiping ask clearly, what is the reason for the so-called procedures?" ”
The middle-aged man's name is Tan Renfeng, whose name is Shiping, is an old talent who is a righteous scholar in his hometown of Futian, Xinhua, Hunan. Earlier, I felt that there were many discords in the Manchu rule, but three years ago, I was inspired by Yang Hao's article to create a new primary school. Later, he was developed into a secret member by the "Huaxing Society" and took the initiative to make friends with celebrities. Ma Fuyi and Huang Xing, the leaders of the elder brothers' association, were the ones he took the initiative to get to know.
At the moment, his identity is still a secret and has not been revealed to everyone.
Tan Renfeng smiled at Huang Xing and Liu Kui, who was full of curiosity, and shook his head: "If you want to say that it is not unusual, it is nothing more than to make a simple file for everyone, record some information, and then take a photo to issue a pass card." The specific matters will be known after everyone has experienced it for themselves. Well, it's actually quite interesting. ”
Huang Xing was calm after all, so he had to press the guess for the time being. Ma Fuyi was rude and straightforward, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really verbose!" Isn't it the same as the government, you have to get a customs clearance paperwork? ”
Liu Kuan blinked his bright eyes and said seriously: "Between the military jurisdiction and the imperial court's hometown, there are two parties, and the politics are different. It is normal to have a charter certificate for traffic exchanges. ”
Ma Fuyi pouted impatiently and said, "It's still verbose!" I also said that under the ** government, it is not like the previous dynasty to tie people to the ground and not move, and they can roam around with anything. This time, it looks like a normal thing! ”
His voice was a little louder, and Li Yuanhong heard it, turned his head and glared at him fiercely. These guys just met halfway, Zhang Zhidong saw that they were the township talents, and with a little blue eyes, he allowed them to go together. But if they were so rude and presumptuous, he had no choice but to drive people away, so as not to spoil the interest of adults and make the ** army even more dissatisfied.
Tan Renfeng pulled Ma Fuyi's sleeve and persuaded softly: "Brother Ma, let's say a few words." Follow the customs of the locals, and the rules of others must be obeyed after all. ”
Ma Fuyi snorted and didn't speak.
The group entered the hall after the VIP passage, but saw a spacious and bright space separated by a large glass, and the interior and exterior scenes were clear at a glance. Outside, more than a dozen tables were set up at the entrance, and uniformed, short-haired staff spoke in Mandarin to each person with brief questions, register them on paper, and then let them into narrow rooms separated by stainless steel railings.
Within a minute, the people who went in could be seen coming out in a trance, trembling, as if they had seen a ghost and been sucked out of their souls, and reluctantly moved to the next table with garlic on their legs and feet, and took a three-inch voucher from the staff.
Huang Xing and the others couldn't hear what was being said inside, just looking at the scene, they felt an inexplicable treacherous and gloomy aura pouring into their backs, and guessed in their hearts: "What did those people see in the hut blocked by the black curtain to be so scared of such virtue?" ”
A few of their scholars have learned the teachings of the sage, "The son is silent, the strange power is chaotic, and the Liuhe exists outside and does not care." In addition, I also have a clear understanding of a series of ideological propositions of the ** government, which is absolutely strict to crack down on a person who pretends to be a god and a ghost. **Under the rule of the military, all the sects that deceive sentient beings must be swept away, and all religious people must go through a strict assessment and be certified before they can practice. It also strictly stipulates the methods and places of proselytization of each religion, and clearly stipulates the interpretation of the scriptures.
All in all, the ** army basically advocates atheism, and requires that religion must be under the law of the country, and it is okay to preach the scriptures, but how to interpret the scriptures cannot be left to your nonsense. Those who preach God and the Lord will be above all living beings and nations will be overthrown. No matter what your denomination, you must not spread ideas that are harmful to the rule of the state. If you are not convinced, you will not be forgiven!
Over the past few years, the vast number of religious and religious figures in the areas ruled by the ** military have been cleaned up. Anyone who dares to incite confrontation will be swept away by the target; All their tricks have been exposed by the popular science and law popularization propaganda teams, and they can't deceive people. Those who refuse to give in will either get out and go elsewhere, or they will be arrested and educated.
This is more thorough and more ruthless and decisive than any blow in history to destroy Buddha and Dao. Even if it was a person under the rule of the Qing court, they shuddered when they heard it. Countless fools and fools were frightened and wondered: "How dare they offend the gods? Aren't you afraid that you will condemn them and send them to the eighteenth layer of hell? ”
Tens of thousands of various religious liars fled to the surrounding provinces, most of them to Shanxi and Sichuan. Zhang Zhidong is ruled by the academic education of the saints, and he cannot tolerate the miasma of these gods and goddesses in their own territory. Finding signs of commotion, he immediately mobilized troops to sweep the past. Up to now, most of the survivors have fled to Jiangnan and continued to deceive.
But will we encounter a new kind of magic stick today?
Ma Fuyi is reckless in the rivers and lakes, and he is a Sanxiang person, and he has always had a tradition of reverence for ghosts and gods. Encountering such an incomprehensible deed, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, turned my head to look at the small black room in the VIP hall, and thought in my heart that I would definitely not be able to recite the vajra mantra for a while, and never give the demons and monsters inside a chance to take away their souls!
There are several rows of neat sofa seats in the VIP room, and there are neat bookshelves and Bogu shelves on the side, which are full of all kinds of Chinese and foreign books and newspapers and periodicals, which can be taken and read. There is also a hot water machine in the corner, and there is a cupboard below for tea and coffee, which you can brew and drink yourself.
In addition, there are well-dressed service staff standing by with their hands crossed, with professional smiles on their faces, waiting to greet them at any time.
Ding Weifen smiled and beckoned Zhang Zhidong and the others to sit down, and explained: "Since Hugong and you want to observe the ** area by yourself as a private person, you can only apply for relevant certificates on the same basis as tourists, otherwise it will be inconvenient to eat, drink, live and travel along the way." If you are slow, please understand. ”
Zhang Zhidong waved his hand: "Member Ding doesn't have to be polite, the sudden arrival of the old man and others has already disturbed your normal work." Since you have arrived in your jurisdiction, you should respect the relevant system. In the end, how to produce this certificate, I would like to ask Committee member Ding to make it clear. ”
Ding Weifen smiled, beckoned someone to send over a stack of registration forms, and distributed them to everyone: "This is a simple information registration form, you only need to fill in the categories, and then go to the photo studio to take a photo." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the little black room is a photo studio, it's scary!"
Huang Xing and others felt a little relieved, photography is not a mysterious thing now, and when they see photos in the newspaper every day, they all know that it is not a god and ghost prop that draws people's souls.
It's just that taking pictures is a rarity after all these years, most people have never seen it, let alone experienced it, probably the customs clearer on the side will be shocked if they come coldly, right?
Zhang Zhidong took it and swept it, but it was required to fill in his name, place of origin, gender, age, occupation, affiliation, and purpose of entry. It's not cumbersome, but he keenly found that the header and number of each form are all different!
The old man was secretly surprised in his heart at the moment: "This ** government is really strict in its control!" A mere customs clearance certificate is so thorough and meticulous, no wonder no one can organize a rebellion wherever they pass. ”
A small form, individually coded, indicating the address and number of the gate, and the basic information of each person is clearly registered. As long as something happens, you can find it out clearly with a check. This is much tighter than the control of previous dynasties!
Zhang Zhidong took the brush from the waiter's hand and waved it. The rest of the people also filled in the rough filling, and then the old man was the first to enter the small black room with a cane, only to find that it was only a narrow space of one foot square, and the light was soft. A strange chair leaned against the right side of the wall, facing a square lens seven feet away.
He was still taken aback! After the curtain fell, a soft female voice suddenly came: "Welcome to the photo studio, please take off your hat and glasses, and sit upright in a chair." ”
Zhang Zhidong didn't see anyone there left and right, but he had seen a lot, and guessed that it was a loudspeaker to speak, so he calmly sat on the chair, sat upright, and heard a voice sound: "Please rest your head on the pillow, look at the mirror in front of you, and don't blink." Three, two, one! ”
There was a soft "click", and a bright light shone in the hut, shaking Zhang Zhidong's eyes were snow-white, and his eyes were blinded. He was startled in his heart, and he didn't jump up calmly because of his qi cultivation skills.
After a few seconds, his vision returned to normal, and the voice came again: "After taking pictures, please take your belongings and leave, thank you for your cooperation!" ”
That's it?
Zhang Zhidong was full of doubts in his heart, but he suspected that someone was secretly peeking, so he quietly put on his hat and walked out calmly with a cane.
Seeing that his face was as usual, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then took turns to take pictures one by one.
Everyone else is still following the rules, where is the big guy Ma Fuyi willing to be honest and obedient? He was startled by the sound in the trumpet, and then he walked around with interest. In particular, the strange chair sat down immediately without listening to the order, especially the curved nursery that protruded from the back of the chair carefully studied it up and down, left and right, for fear that there was some mechanism in it, and suddenly plotted when he sat down.
This is also the problem of the old rivers and lakes, and he refuses to rest assured. However, he didn't seem to find any hidden weapon news, and he turned his head to ponder the dark mirror in all directions. I just wanted to scrape twice with my fingers to take a look, but I suddenly heard an indifferent reprimand from the loudspeaker: "Please don't touch the camera equipment at will!" ”
"Damn! Sure enough, there is a mechanism! ”
Ma retracted his fingers, muttered quietly, reluctantly went back to sit on the chair, and then shook the flash and jumped up, and put his hands in front of him as if it were closed, for fear of being attacked.
It's a pity that no one is attacking him, but he can understand why those people outside seem to have lost their souls. In other words, whoever entered such a room and gave Flash such a moment would have to be flustered. He, a hero of the rivers and lakes, can't bear it, let alone ordinary people.
Hey, this ** army is really going to toss people! You have to take pictures to clear the customs, and there is no one in the photo, which is weird and sneaky.
After everyone finished taking pictures, a staff member came out with a stack of cards three inches wide and handed them out one by one.
Zhang Zhidong saw that his headshot was impressively printed on a hard card with unknown materials, and his name, character, place of origin, and age were indicated next to it, and his occupation was "civil servant", and his work unit was "Huguang Governor's Mansion", but his identity as governor was not indicated.
However, he didn't care about this, and paid special attention to other contents, and found that there was indeed a code on the header, which was the same as the one on the registration form. When the card card coated on the surface is flipped, there is still an anti-counterfeiting pattern flashing one after another, but it is the shape of the Great Wall.
Ding Weifen explained: "You must keep this voucher safely, all the gates in the new political district, all stores, banks, and government agencies, no matter how to handle various affairs, you need to register with your card card. There are also patrols along the route that will be checked from time to time, so please report it to the nearest police department immediately if you lose it. ”
Zhang Zhidong pinched the card and was silent for a long time.
Huang Xing heard it clearly, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't this kind of management method of your government the same as the former Qin Legalist system?" ”
China's household registration system, as early as the Qin State Shang Dynasty changed the law, the first to open the ID card registration management measures. Everyone wants a piece of bamboo to "take care of their bodies" and manage Daqin in an orderly and tight manner. In the end, he himself was arrested and his car broke because he didn't dare to provide his ID card to the hotel.
Everyone can think of the card card in their hands that they have to leave a registration wherever they go, as long as they make a mistake, the official will check a quasi-child, and the loudspeaker will shout, and there is no place to hide!
Confucianism has always criticized the Qin system as "tyranny", and now the ** military government actually implements such management methods, is it not to move closer to the Great Qin? That's a big charge!
Ding Weifen didn't answer directly, and said with a slight smile: "What the hell, let's talk about it after you experience it yourself." ”
He didn't accompany him all the way, and after explaining the situation, he left casually.
Zhang Zhidong put away the card card and lightly paused his cane: "Let's go, and let me wait to have a glimpse of the grand scene of the new deal!" ”
The old man was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, since you are so bold to let us look at it casually, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I have to find a lot of faults for you!
Huang Xing was solemn, he was very worried that China had become a tyrannical Qin rule, which would greatly hit his original confidence and expectations in the ** military government. R1152
