As the huge iron anchor was slowly lowered by the sturdy crew, the large ocean liner with a displacement of 5,000 tons was fixed to the deep-water dock of East Wanlu by thick cables!

Watching the ship arrive at its destination, travelers who have been adrift at sea for more than half a month naturally can't help but want to set foot on the legendary Nanyang land where houses are divided, land is divided, food can be eaten, and children go to school for free!

Lu Dong and Wang Wei were also mixed in the crowd and slowly walked off the cruise ship that had been there for more than half a month!

"Get your identification!"

Hearing what the young Huo Jiajun official in front of him said, Lu Dong was stunned, and then reacted, and quickly took out a form from his package that contained their names, dates of birth, and other information before they boarded the ship. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Dong remembered very well that the shipping officer who let them get on the ship at the beginning called this piece of paper an identity certificate, and asked them to keep it at that time, because this was a pass to enter the Nanyang provinces under the jurisdiction of the Huo Jiajun!

"You two are here to study in Nanyang, and you are also from Hebei and Shaanxi?" asked the young official with some surprise after reading the form in his hand.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing his words, the young official couldn't help frowning, "I am just a port officer, and I should not be called 'adult'; in addition, in the territory of our Chinese People's Army, everyone is equal, and they have been called 'Mr.' and 'Ms.' in public! So what kind of old man and adult set you better put away! Our Chinese People's Army is not a decadent and backward Qing government!"

As he spoke, the young officer took two green surfaces from the side. It's only a palm-sized book, and then according to the information on the provincial certificate of the two people, copy it into the green book one by one. Then from the drawer on his desk, he took out a red seal, buckled it twice, and handed it to the two of them, "Well, this is your residence permit, and in the future in our Chinese People's Army." Whether it is to live in a hotel, go to school, buy a house, build a factory, or even marry a wife and have children, it must be there. Otherwise, you will not be able to move an inch, and if you lose it, remember to replace it in time! You've got it!"

After all that is said. The young official turned around and pointed back, and not far away there was a registration office with a red banner hanging and a little deserted, and said again: "Do you see where it is? It was established by our government council for the Qing Dynasty people who came to Nanyang to study like you, and it can provide you with work-study opportunities, and can enable you to make up for your knowledge deficiencies as soon as possible." Then take the entrance exam for our university, if passed. Then you will be able to enter our highest university without any problems!"

With the rapid development of Nanyang's economy and the rapid increase of Huo Jiajun's international influence, more and more people of insight within the Qing Dynasty, as well as young and aspiring scholars, came to Nanyang to travel and even study, but their own learning and Huo Jiajun's university admission requirements are too far away, in addition to history, only mathematics can be half-understood, but physics, chemistry and other subjects are almost ignorant, and they cannot pass the university entrance examination at all.

However, all those who have the courage to go to the South Seas, want to broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge, are resolute and intelligent people, as long as they can get in touch with new education, their chances of success are much greater than the average person, after all, most of the talents in the later Republic of China period almost came like this!

Moreover, in any case, both the Huo Jiajun and the Qing government belong to the same nation, and it has always been the original intention and foundation of the establishment of the Huo Jiajun education department to let the people of their own nationality receive education and get rid of ignorance!

After thanking them, the two took their green pamphlets, "Sir, why are they different colors from ours?" Wang Wei asked the middle-aged man next to him, wearing gray shabby clothes and holding a small red book in his hand.

"They are immigrants, they are ready to settle down for a long time and become people under the rule of our Chinese People's Army, so they are given household registration certificates and ID cards. And you just want to study, so you can only be regarded as temporary residence, so you are given a temporary residence permit! And it is only valid for one year, and after one year, if you still want to stay here, then you have to go to the local civil affairs department to sign and seal it! Understand?"

Looking at the impatient looks on the faces of the crowd behind them, the two didn't dare to ask any more, and hurriedly took their luggage, thinking about the place that the young official pointed out just now!

"Hello sir, we are Qing people who came to Nanyang to study, and the port official just now asked us to report here!" Looking at the young people who were sitting behind a long black table, looking intently at the books in their hands, and who were no older than them, Wang Wei asked with a hint of caution in his tone.

Hearing his words, the young man looked up at them, quickly closed the book in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile on his face: "Hello, my name is Yu Guang, we are not about the same age, you can just call my name!"

In the territory of Huojiajun, the most popular etiquette is not a handshake, but a long-standing fist hugging etiquette in China!

"I've seen Brother Yu, in Xia Lu Dong!" "In Xia Wang Wei!"

"You should be from the north, right?" asked Yu Guang with a smile after the salute.

"Hehe, yes, I'm from Hebei, and my friend is from Shanxi!" Lu Dong said.

"It's rare for northerners to come to Nanyang to study like you!" Although Huo Jiajun's influence in the Far East is increasing day by day, it is limited by time, as well as the restrictions of transportation and information exchange, and this influence is mostly in the coastal provinces and south of the Yangtze River, so most of the people who come to study in Nanyang are mainly in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

"Okay, come with me! The conditions provided by the Government Council for those of us who come to Nanyang to study are still good!"

"Brother Yu, are you here to study like us?" Wang Wei asked with some surprise.

"Hehe, yes! But I came a year before you, so I can be regarded as your senior! If you need help in the future, just come to me!"

"Thank you, Brother Yu!"

"Well, you're welcome! Alright, the carriage is coming, let's go!"

"Brother Yu, don't you have to look here?" Lu Dong looked left and right, and was once again convinced that Yu Guang was the only one who was responsible for receiving them here!

"Hehe, no, no! people who come to Nanyang for the purpose of studying like us are not like those immigrants, almost every day, I have been waiting here for almost a week, and I just met the two of you today!" Yu Guang said with a smile.

Retracting their gaze from the car window, Lu Dong and Wang Wei's faces still couldn't hide their surprise, because the scenery outside was too far from the city in their impression!

The clean and smooth and wide road, the very beautiful flowers and trees trimmed on both sides of the road, and the bustling but very orderly flow of people on both sides of the road, coupled with the tall buildings on both sides of the road with an average of about ten floors, everything is different from any city within the Qing Dynasty, even the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing, is overshadowed in front of this Nanyang city!

"Beautiful, hehe, Dongwanlu is the largest city in the Nanyang region, and in terms of municipal construction, it is second to none in the whole world, even those Europeans who came to Nanyang for the first time are also amazed by its beauty!" said this, Yu Guang's face couldn't help but show a look of pride.

Although he only came to Nanyang to study, and he did not settle here, as a Chinese, he is also proud of the achievements of his compatriots!

"Brother Yu, are all the cities in Nanyang the same as here?" Lu Dong couldn't help but ask.

Of course, the Chinese People's Army has special regulations for municipal construction, and a city with a population of more than 50,000 must have certain parks and green spaces, in addition, there must be certain public facilities such as toilets and telephone booths! By the way, I forgot to remind you that in Nanyang it is not as good as the Qing Dynasty! In the Qing Dynasty, no one cares about you even if you and pee on the streets of Beijing, but in Nanyang, as long as you spit a mouthful of phlegm here, then as long as you are discovered, it will be a fine of one silver dollar, and if you refuse to change your ways, you will be fined a month of hard labor!"

"So serious?" the two asked, incredulous. Now the Nanyang Yuan is no longer only circulating within the Huo Jiajun, this exquisite currency also has a very broad market within the Qing Dynasty! Moreover, one Nanyang Yuan is equivalent to one or two silvers, and these two people still know it!

Not only that, but I also have to take two lashes, although I don't know the extent of this whipping, but it won't be easy to think about!

"Serious? This is quite light! Do you see those flowers and trees next to the street? Except for the special sanitation personnel, anyone else, even the mayor of Dongwanlu City, as long as you deliberately damage it, then in addition to losing money, you will also be fined a week of community sanitation, that is, sweeping the streets, cleaning public toilets, and so on! Anyway, you have to be careful about everything you do here, of course you have a week to get used to it, and if you make a mistake within a week, you won't be punished, but after a week, it's the same!"

"Are foreigners also constrained here?" Lu Dong couldn't help but ask, in his impression, inside the Qing Dynasty, in front of the Chinese, those big-nosed foreigners always enjoy privileges!

"Hehe, foreigners are the same as us, and they are restrained here! You must know that the Chinese People's Army is not the Qing government, their status has been piled up with one war after another, and even now they are competing with the Americans for hegemony in North America in the Americas! )
