86. Farmer outside the city
Being able to buy a house at this age is also a happy thing for Shu Han, and the people around him look at Shu Han with envy, many people who work in the mining area do not have a house in the urban area, and Shu Han is only fifteen years old, and he can get a suite.
Alas, people and people are sometimes more different than humans and dogs.
"By the way, Bo Rilang, has my pass been settled?" Shu Han asked.
"All the formalities have been completed, according to the regulations, you can stay in the city for five days, and the company will provide you with a house in the city to rest, of course, if you own your own property in the city, you can also live on your own, this is a pass and identity information."
Bo Rilang immediately put the things he had prepared on the desk, Shu Han opened it, and saw that there were a total of four pieces of paper inside, which detailed Shu Han's birthplace, the address of the nursing home, and all the experiences from childhood to adulthood, as well as his current position and salary, in addition, there was also an iron nameplate, which was very similar to the work nameplate in the mining area, but the content engraved on it was different.
"Citizen of Illegal: Shu Han, No. 220003021A"
"This is a certificate of citizenship in the Black Iron City, and you must carry it with you at all times, and if you don't see it, it will be troublesome." Bo Rilang said that in the Black Iron City, security is very important, especially in some relatively important places, almost every one must show identification, if not, will be taken to the local police station for supervision.
Although after the identity is confirmed, it will be released, but this kind of place, it is better to go less, after all, the violent extortion incidents of the black police are endless, and Bo Rilang and others often hear that these people have to find trouble even if they have nothing to do, let alone fall into their hands, and it is impossible to come out without shedding the skin when the time comes.
So Bo Rilang said: "Manager, after you get to the city, it's best to go to the headquarters first, according to your current position, you can upgrade your citizenship, I have the conditions here, you can take a closer look, this will help you walk in the city." ”
"Okay." Shu Han took the paper from Bo Rilang's hand, only to see the words "List of Citizen Declaration Qualifications" written on it, and when he opened it, he realized that there was a strict hierarchy between the citizens of Black Iron City, which had a total of five grades from top to bottom, and the highest class was a first-class citizen, mainly including Skywalkers, members of the Elders, and patriarchs of large families, who were the rulers of Black Iron City and enjoyed the highest privileges.
For example, there is no crime in homicide, full exemption from taxation and so on.
Second-class citizens mainly include the families of Skywalkers, the families of the Presbyterians, and the side branches of the big family, etc., the first-class and second-class citizens, collectively known as the Shangmin, have the highest status in the Black Iron City and belong to the ruling class, while the third-class citizens below them are the leaders of the industry, the commanders of the army, captains, etc., which belong to the middle and upper classes of society and have certain privileges.
Fourth-class citizens are divided according to their professions, similar to doctors, soldiers, college graduates, etc., belong to the fourth-class citizens, have no privileges, belong to the middle class in society, and are the most important cornerstone of the Black Iron City, as for the fifth class are professional citizens who can be replaced at any time, such as overseers, waiters, cleaners, electricians, blacksmiths, etc., these all belong to the fifth class, the lowest status, belong to the bottom of the Black Iron City, they account for more than 85% of the population of the entire Black Iron City.
This is the most primitive state of citizenship law, but later found that in this way, the citizens at the bottom have no channels to rise, and the social turmoil begins to intensify, so in order to maintain social stability, subsidiary clauses have been added to the existing laws and regulations, allowing other ways to break the boundaries of the civil hierarchy and rise up to the third class of citizens.
And now Shu Han is only a fifth-level citizen, according to his current status and salary, he can actually become a third-class citizen, but because the internal affairs of the company are very complicated, and Shu Han's matter is not particularly important, after all, Shu Han will not come to Blackiron City a few times a year, so this matter has been delayed.
If Shu Han does it himself, he only needs to show the property certificate and the company certificate, and he can obtain the qualification of a third-class citizen in the local citizen service, and the processing speed is much faster, after having this identity, Shu Han will be much more convenient to walk in the city, even if the police want to embarrass him, they must also consider what consequences they will bear if they offend a third-class citizen.
In the Black Iron City, if you want to punish a third-class citizen, you must get the approval of the court, in addition, the public power cannot do anything other than the law allows the third-class citizen to do anything privately, as for the fourth-class citizen and the fifth-class citizen, there is no such treatment, with legal protection, at least in the face of most things, Shu Han can not worry.
Of course, if he offends the big guys, then the law can't protect Shu Han, and he still knows this.
"Thank you for the reminder, okay, it's not too early, hurry back and get busy with your business."
The next day, Shu Han got up earlier than ever, the first time he went to the Black Iron City, the former old city, his heart was still very excited, on the one hand, he was also curious about the changes in the scenery there, on the other hand, he was also curious about the unknown, and changed into a brand new clothes, Dati also came early to help Shu Han take the things that needed to be brought to the city downstairs, as a manager, the head of the mining area, although he could not match the car so luxuriously, but a carriage, it was still affordable.
The driver was Dati, according to his own words, when he was in the army, he was responsible for escorting supplies, and he was very good at driving, plus this time he was also going to the city, which was synchronized with Shu Han's vacation time, so the two of them went together.
"Manager, there's something else to put in the car." Da asked.
Shu Han looked around the room, and then looked at the carriage parked at the door, this carriage is used to pull goods, not to sit people, behind the horse is a wooden board with four wheels hanging, everything is placed on it, after carefully counting the goods, he said to Dati: "No, let's go, and strive to eat in the city at noon, and I will treat you when the time comes." ”
"Then let's go." Dati sat in the driver's seat, and Shuhan sat next to him, Dati held the whip rope in his hand, and threw a circle in the air very easily, and shouted in his mouth, and the whip was gently whipped on the back of the ox, and the horse began to trot forward leisurely, kicking and kicking.
This is Shu Han's first time making a carriage, at this time the sun has not yet risen, there is a trace of coolness in the air, when the old horse runs, the breeze blows, it is very rare to make people feel a little comfortable, but after ten minutes, Shu Han only feels that his buttocks are about to crack.
The road leading to the city is full of small gravel, and when the wheels pass on it, it will keep shaking, Shu Han sways back and forth, and sometimes there will be a big pit on the ground, and if he can't dodge it in time, he rushes forward, so scared that Shu Han grabs the wooden plank tightly with both hands, so as not to be thrown out.
On the contrary, Dati was relaxed, sitting in the carriage, and humming mountain songs in a leisurely manner, which was completely different from his image of an iron-blooded soldier and discipline-oriented in the past, and it seemed that the work of driving horses was quite to Dati's appetite, and the two of them ran slowly towards the city.
The mining area is on the outskirts of the suburbs of Black Iron City, and after leaving the mining area, there is a large area of farmland, but unlike modern farmland, in these farmlands, there may be some tall buildings inserted in it, which should be the legacy of the last era, after all, this was once the most prosperous area in Hai'an City, but these buildings have been extremely corrupted, and the general shape cannot be seen at all.
But to Shu Han's shock, after leaving the mining area, the road suddenly became flat, and the reason for the flatness was not because the ground had been leveled by the staff of the Black Iron City, but because the road under the horse's feet was an asphalt road from the last century.
The reason why Shu Han can be sure that this is the legacy of the last century is because there is no oil industry in Hai'an City, and even if there is, the people of this era will not refine it at all, which can only prove that the road under his feet was built in the last century, and according to the scene in Shu Han's memory, starting from Si'er Lake, there can be such a wide road, and the only road that leads directly to the old city is the No. 2 Ring Road.
"I really didn't expect that after such a few hundred years, this road is still in use..."Shu Han was shocked in his heart, although this road was overgrown with weeds, and the asphalt in many places had also been destroyed by time, turning into gravel, the entire ground was shattered, and the carriages and ox carts coming and going also made this road have obvious ruts.
But this is a standard road after all, a legacy of modern industry, which makes Shu Han have more expectations for the Black Iron City, so how many pre-modern things will be retained in the city? How will he differ from the past? Shu Han's heart was full of curiosity at the moment.
And this also makes time pass very fast, looking at the surrounding farmland, the farmers are working hard, it is now the end of summer and autumn solstice, the rice on the ground has been lush, but the farmers' faces are not a little happy, only the indifference facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
Most of these peasants were thin, skinny and bone-like, with their feet in the pond and a burden on their shoulders, wooden buckets containing fertilizer on either side, and a wooden spoon in their hands.
