The next day, a number of government bureaucrats gathered in the office of the Migrant Temporary Settlement in the Outer Islands of Mangar, which is part of the Ministry of Immigration.

Chang Kun, who had changed into a clean robe, was now standing at his desk under the gaze of a group of people, with a piece of rice paper imported from the Far Eastern Dynasty spread out in front of him.

Chang Kun shook his head and meditated for a while, stroked his beard and concentrated, holding the brush in his hand, and a little heavy ink fell on the white paper.

“…… The ancestors of the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty crossed here, and there were countless miasma plagues. Long hair hides dirt and dirt, beneficial poisonous insects breed, and there is no one in ten violent diseases among the remnants. Ancestral teachings: In order to spread the poison of diseases and insects to relatives and friends, in addition to female dependents, those who go to the Americas, regardless of Huayi, must cut their hair and bathe, and watch the moon and the moon. When the root of the disease is gone, it will return to normal, and the shears will be self-destructive...... Those who do not obey will seek more blessings for themselves. ”

As the pen of the Da Ming literati moved, Su Zining read softly on the side, with a hint of helplessness at the corner of his mouth.

The words are beautiful, the reason is clear, the consequences are clear, the feelings are reasonable, and even the scare and coaxing.

In addition to Yan Xiaosong, the other cabinet members present, including President Chen Yuanyuan and Premier Qi Jianjun, all had expressions of sudden realization.

Chang Kun was so excited at this time that although the "Chinese American Dynasty" was from the ancient republic of Zhou, and now there is no monarch and no emperor, but is the "president" the lord of this country? The Prime Minister is naturally the Prime Minister of the Cabinet! There are also a group of scholars and waiters behind him, and he is simply in the limelight!

Such court figures are all around, if I do this well, I am afraid that I will not know if I will enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future!

As soon as he thought of leaving Daming, he gave birth to a son. Now it is relied on by the "China and the United States", which is simply a fate in the dark! The excitement in his heart was indescribable, but on the surface, in the process of writing this notice of peace according to the other party's prompt, he still maintained the demeanor of a wise man.

"Yes, I'm optimistic about you! I think the government will appoint you as the director of the Department of Chinese Immigration Management, right? Yan Xiaosong picked up the rice paper and gently blew the ink. He turned his head to Chang Kun and smiled and nodded.

"The lower official should be, he should be!" Chang Kun hurriedly bowed his hand to the government officials present.

My Chinese and American Dynasty has the style of Chinese Zhengshuo, and I don't kneel when I see Shangguan! Chang Kun was very happy.

Outer Island District Health and Quarantine Zone. Hundreds of Ming Dynasty immigrant men were brought to the scene again from the temporary settlement, but unlike yesterday, the soldiers with loaded guns were gone. Only two dozen solemn policemen stood far away.

“…… When the root of the disease is gone, it will return to normal, and the shears will be self-destructive...... Those who do not obey will seek more blessings for themselves. ”

In front of a makeshift wooden board, a middle-aged and elderly man who had read a book read aloud, while Chang Kun stood on the side of the bulletin board and looked at everyone with a smile under the protection of two policemen.

"Fellow villagers, the dynasty is far away from Middle Earth, and there was no detail yesterday, and there are many misunderstandings. This is the motto of the ancestors of the country. The words cry blood, and countless classics forget the meaning of the ancestors, and I hope that all the fathers and elders will understand. ”

After Chang Kun finished speaking, he walked towards the hair cutting shed in front of the disinfection room first, majestic and high-spirited.

"I see...... No wonder I got off the boat after that. I feel dizzy. ”

"I seem to have a little itch on my body...... too"

"Not one out of ten? Those who do not follow, ask for more blessings? Could it be that the miasma here is so bad...... It's really not easy for the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Third child, it's not too late to grow hair in the future, so let's go to the poison first, right?"

The honest people exchanged their heads and ears, exchanging their experiences with each other, and their faces were a little pale.

"Qiao Shi. I feel a little disgusting......" Standing in the last row and hearing Yu Shan clearly, he was holding his lower abdomen at this time, and his body was a little shaky.

"You're getting up and eating too much, aren't you?" Qiao Yan held the other party and looked up and down, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. …,

"Then, Qiao Yan, let's go and cut it quickly, I'm afraid I'm sick!"

Yu Shan grabbed Qiao Yan's hand and dragged the other party towards the hair cutting shed.

A bloody case caused by hair has passed, and no one cares about the dead, and more people have entered the disinfection room with the beautiful ideal of one day the "root of the disease" will be removed.

Yu Shan's long, greasy hair was cut off by Qi Gen, and a piece of moldy hair leather fell to the ground. A policeman next to him had his eyes lit up, and he quickly lowered his body and gently pinched the small piece of moldy leather, and looked at it carefully like a baby.

According to the nationwide "Collect Mold" government bulletin issued three months ago, a reward will be awarded to anyone who provides a new mold that proves to be valuable.

No fewer than 10 people have now received awards from the Ministry of Health, but the announcement is still in effect. The little policeman usually pays attention to this matter very hard, and as for why the country needs such a strange thing, it is not his concern.

At this time, the little policeman did not expect that he would receive a heavy reward of $200 soon, because the moldy samples he provided had isolated and cultivated the first generation of high-yielding Penicillium strains in the American Republic of China. It's a pity that the original carrier of this sample, the young man named Yu Shan, had no idea that he was the first to take credit.

At the same time, in the boot camp in the outer islands, the door of a small black room was opened.

A beam of light fell into the confinement chamber and shone on the slightly pale Moqi. The sergeant, who had been depressed and depressed, did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly stood up and looked at the door.

"Brother!" Nata's figure flew into the room and threw herself into the sergeant's arms, looking at her brother with tears in her eyes.

"Army Sergeant Mochi, your matter has been investigated, you can go out." Captain He Yu walked in with a smile and patted the other party's shoulder with a hint of apology on his face, "You did the right thing, I was negligent and didn't be there at the time." ”

Mochi smirked innocently, without any dissatisfaction.

"Army Sergeant Mochi!" Outside the door, there was a stern roll call.

Mo Qi subconsciously stood upright, raised his head with his chest straight, threw himself into the sunlight of the confinement room, and walked in two men. When the eyes adjust to the light, then can I see the person clearly. One was the familiar army commander, Brigadier General Chen Liwen, and the other was a middle-aged man of a strange Chinese ethnic group who he had barely met.

"Army Sergeant Mochi, in the absence of the officers, dutifully performed his duties and succeeded in stopping a riot. With the approval of the Army Command, you are promoted to the rank of sergeant! ”

Chen Liwen glanced at Defense Minister Zheng Quan, who had a calm face beside him, and walked in front of Mo Qi, who was stunned. Personally replace the rank of the opponent's neckline.

"Thank you, General!" Mochi's voice trembled, and his eyes were red.

At the same time, Moqi was given the status of a senior instructor at the boot camp in the outer islands, and happily left with his sister Nada. Only the Army Commander and the Minister of Defense were left standing silently at the door of the confinement cell.

"I managed to reach a compromise with Congress. You're trying to embarrass me, aren't you? Zheng Quan looked at his former subordinates and slowly turned his head.

"Compromise is your politician's business, I'm just playing by the rules of the military. The authority to approve officer promotions rests with the Department of Defense, but the authority to promote officers below the rank of sergeant major is vested in the Army Command. Chen Liwen looked at Zheng Quan with a smile, his face did not change, "I'm just curious, the rules for soldiers not to interfere in politics are set by the Congress, and the rules that the Congress has no right to intervene in the management of the army are also the rules of the Congress." The regulations on the military administration of sanitary and quarantine zones were also issued by the Ministry of National Defense. Why do some people always want to break the rules? Should I follow or disobey the rules in the future? Those who have two goods will amend the "Constitution", "National Defense and Military Service Law" and "National Security Law"! ”…,

Chen Liwen finished speaking coldly, gave a military salute to his old boss, and then went out.

"Just have your attitude. I'm relieved! Zheng Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not care about the Army Command's disagreement with the Congress and the government at this time, but was quite relieved.

The immigrants of the Ming Dynasty who were able to survive eight months of drifting at sea, whether old or young, were naturally in excellent health. After several times of sanitary quarantine and disinfection. After a week of simple adaptation to life, 814 men and women of the Ming Dynasty were told that they would be resettled in the future, and now all of them are nervously gathered in the open space of the temporary living quarter.

A large bulletin board stood on the side of the clearing, and on it was a large map, which seemed to others to be the urban map of the city of Manchester. A map of West Point is taken around the corner.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Immigration, from now on, whether it is European immigrants or Ming Dynasty immigrants, except for special skilled personnel for special fixed-point placement, other immigrants will adopt the method of random selection of license plates to obtain a place of settlement.

The map shows several major residential areas, listing nine resettlement areas in uppercase Chinese characters from "壹" to "玖", and then using abbreviated Chinese characters to mark the specific house numbers, and according to the different family sizes, single apartments or family houses are selected.

"Wang Lianggui, 'Wanton Five-Nine'! Wang Lianggui, your family will live there in the future, look, the place where the picture is located is really beautiful, gratifying! This is the dynasty of the country...... It is a settling-in allowance issued by the government, whether young or old, 20 yuan per person! But you have to take it well, if you put it in that Daming, but more than thirteen taels of silver per person! ”

Chang Kun was in a green shirt and a red hat, full of neutrality, and explained the meaning of the number plate to the family who drew the number plate on the other side of the table, and as he spoke, he also stuffed a cloth bag containing silver coins into the hands of an honest man, with a parental official demeanor who was sympathetic to the people's feelings.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! The family of three who got the silver coin money bag immediately burst into tears, and directly pulled the child and knelt in front of the table.

"Oops! How can this be done! How can this be done! ”

Looking at the policemen on the left and right, Chang Kun hurriedly detoured to the table, and waited for the other party to kowtow, then he helped the other party up with a smile on his face, and deliberately showed a dissatisfied look, his hands arched slightly towards the north, and his voice was very loud: "The ancestors are strictly disciplined, and the government of the country is also systematic, except for the ancient sages and grandparents, the people of China and China all stand up to the sky and the earth, and there is gold under their knees, so there is no need to kneel and worship!" Remember, remember! ”

This is the wind of the Chinese ancestors since the Han and Tang Dynasties! Although the men, women, and children in line were all surprised, they all secretly admired Chang Kun, who was so humble and solemn.

This gorgeous country really treats its fellow clans well, not to mention settling down and buying a house, whether old or young, and twenty dollars per person, tsk, weigh a few times, a full ten taels of silver!

All the single people or heads of families who received the number plate of the settlement family happily greeted the people who were still in line, and their faces were full of happy smiles.

However, it didn't take long for them to be led by the police to another long table and began to sign the "Migrant Housing Resettlement Loan Contract" with the central bank as a family unit. Recruitment representatives of various companies also hung up employment notices on the other side.

What's that. It turns out that everything has been counted, and the arrears are counted, and a family even asks for 500 US dollars, which is more than 330 taels of silver! Even if you are a single person, you have a loan debt of $200 with interest.

Oh, and you can pay it off in ten years...... It's okay, it's okay. It's so much better than Daming! The little lady who watches other people's errands, although she is a fanyi, is also polite and humble. It's much kinder than the Ming official mansion!

After being overjoyed, many Ming immigrants calmed down. What is this Chinese and American country, but it is also unambiguous to cut meat with a soft knife. Give you enough food and drink plus a settling-in fee, and in the end you owe everything. Although I heard that the monthly salary is quite large, it is quite scary to calculate carefully. …,

General Industries and North Industries hired blacksmiths, locksmiths, silversmiths and the like, and paid a working lunch at noon, worked in uniforms, and worked six days off, with a monthly salary of $24...... A group of veteran craftsmen who have been dealing with iron for many years suddenly became excited and didn't know what to say.

Huamei Wood Company, Beiyang Shipbuilding Company, employs carpenters, lacquerers, shipwrights and other masters. Including a working lunch at noon, issuing work clothes, doing six days off and one off, with a monthly salary of 20 US dollars and a performance commission...... Although it seems to be a little less than those who strike iron. But dozens of old, middle-aged and green wood craftsmen were still overjoyed.

More than 30 state-owned or private enterprises have recruited almost all of the Ming immigrants, and even the families of those immigrants have received jobs with a minimum salary of $10 on farms under the state-owned agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry group.

According to the government's announcement, Ming immigrants had to pay off all their debts before they could finally obtain the title deed of the residence and then buy land on their own. Before that. You can only earn income by working in guò.

There were only about 100 or so young men who had no special skills, or who were inexplicably unwilling to recruit, in the center of the venue, wandering around several tables, all told that the number of recruits was full, or that their skills were insufficient.

Qiao Xi and Yu Shan are two of them. But they were lucky, and both of them were drawn to the same residential area in the Long Island New Area, which can be regarded as neighbors again.

Seeing that most of the villagers were packing up one by one and following the people from the immigration department towards the ferry, Qiao Xi and Yu Shan were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Now, there is only one recruitment point that has not been visited, and more than 100 great guys are hesitant and seem to be very reluctant to pass.

There stood a dozen or so soldiers with indifferent expressions, and two officers sat behind their desks, looking at the more than 100 young men in the middle of the field with a strange smile.

"Yu Shan, go! Be a soldier and eat food! ”

"I'm not going! In the military fort of Liuchesuo, he was called by Liu Baihu all day long, when did the food and salary of the imperial court fall into our hands?! ”

When Yu Shan heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.

"Then wait to starve to death! Don't forget, we still owe more than 130 taels of silver! ”

As soon as he gritted his teeth, no matter how unwilling the other party was, Qiao Yan pulled Yu Shan and walked towards the long table with a big word "soldier" hanging on it.

Qiao Yan and Yu Shan took the lead and took the lead, and immediately more than a dozen young people lined up with their heads down.

"Name."

"If you go back to your lordship, my name is Qiao Yan, his name is Yu Shan, and we are all from Liuchesuo, Zhangpu County." Qiao Yan hurriedly pulled Yu Shan and nodded.

"Career specialty."

"We are military households, we can all make spears ......" Qiao Yan secretly glanced at his companions and lowered his head.

"Well, the height and physique are barely okay." He Yu smiled and looked up and down at the two young men in front of him who looked to be at most twenty years old, and nodded slightly, "Tongguò, welcome to join the Army of the Republic of America of China!" You will sign a five-year military service contract with the Ministry of Defense, and if you have no opinion, draw a pledge! In addition, please give me the "Migrant Housing Resettlement Loan Contract" that you signed earlier. ”

After drawing the charge, the two of them slowly handed the previously signed debt contract in their pockets to He Yu with puzzled expressions.

"Joining the army is the greatest contribution to the country, so ......" He Yu signed his name in a certain column of "Resettlement Debt", "This national debt will be repaid by the Ministry of Defense and the Army Command for you!" ”

What the?! Paid off the debt so quickly? Qiao Yan and Yu Shan's eyes widened, as if they didn't believe their ears. Counting the five years of military service, it will soon pass, unlike in the past in Daming, where the ancestors could not escape the identity of the military household for generations.

"Corporal Makarov!" He Yu suddenly smiled and gently pronounced a name.

"Yes, sir!"

The tall new corporal Makarov behind him stepped forward, and the sound of his answer was deafening. As the army expanded, Makarov, who had "rich combat experience" and "fearless spirit," was reused, and the comments of Army Lieutenant Deng Jian played a key role.

"They'll be assigned to your recruit training class and treat our recruits well." After He Yu finished speaking, he handed the two enlistment notices to Qiao Xian and Yu Shan respectively, and then put the other party's military service contract into the drawer, "You can leave, and everything will be arranged by this Corporal Makarov after that." Alright, next! ”

Qiao Xi and Yu Shan's "good luck" suddenly spread, and at first, the young man who thought that he was destined to continue to flee and beg in this overseas country, heard that the soldiers not only wrote off all their debts, but also had food and accommodation and military salaries, and they all shouted loudly and poured in front of He Yu's table.

A few soldiers standing guard went straight to the butts of their guns, and the most squeezed people were full of bags. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
