Chapter Forty-Eight: The Downtowners' Journey to the Upper City

Su Xia and Ade came to one of the passages into the city in Songjiang.

Countless large trucks were lining up to enter and exit the toll booth, and Susha and Ade walked over on their legs without a car.

"Hello." The staff at the toll booth saw Su Xia and Ade, and took the initiative to say hello, "May I ask if there is anything I can do to help you." ”

"We want to go into town, do we need to do anything?" Susha asked.

"No, just proof of identity." The staff member was a lady with a sweet smile on her face answering Susha's questions.

"We're downtowners." Su Xia said calmly.

Downtowners, no identification.

The smile on the woman's face faded like a tide, and she took out two forms and threw them to Su Xia casually.

"Fill out the form."

"You!" This attitude made Ade very dissatisfied.

"Ade."

Hearing Su Xia's voice, Ade had to endure it and took a form one after another.

The lady was also taken aback by Ade's tall physique, but after Ade's gaze was removed, a deep sense of shame and anger rose in her heart.

"Downtown rats!" The lady's whisper of discontent.

She didn't think they could hear it, but whispering in front of the messenger was no different from yelling in their ears.

Ade's chest rose and fell more and more violently, but Su Xia looked as usual, and quickly filled out the application form for entering the city.

Then I saw Ade holding the form in a daze.

"Why don't you write?"

"I can't read......"

Su Xia was stunned, and then remembered that there was no school in Xiacheng at all.

"I'll fill it out for you."

Susha took Ade's form and filled it out and handed it to the staff.

"For you, don't lose it, it's going to be recycled." The lady handed the two of them two silver-white bracelets with the words "Lower City" printed on them.

Susha took the bracelet and handed it to Ade, putting it on his wrist.

Invisible electromagnetic waves emerge.

[Positioning.] ]

Ade put the bracelet on his wrist with an unhappy face.

"Go to the front registration hall to register, and you will be issued a temporary identification." The lady said.

"Thank you." Su Xia politely thanked him, and then left with Ade.

"Li Xin, what did you fill in that form just now?" After walking away, Ade asked.

"Ask us what we are doing in Shangcheng, how many days we are going to stay, and if we can accept the unconditional inspection of the magistrate at any time 24 hours a day."

"Oh."

Without saying a word all the way, I walked along the road towards the registration hall.

I walked into the bustling registration hall, observed the location of the few people, and found a window to line up.

Inside the window, a staff member in a white uniform glanced at Susha and Ade.

"Nan'an Xiacheng people, come to Shangcheng for tourism?"

"Yes." Su Xia nodded.

"Do you have a cell phone?"

"Yes." Su Xia took out the mobile phone in his pocket, the mobile phone is very popular, and Li Xin, as Fang Ketu's adopted son, also has a mobile phone in his hand that has been eliminated for a long time in Shangcheng.

"Remember, be honest when you go to the upper city, the upper city is not better than the lower city, there are magistrates to maintain order, and if you break the law, you will be sentenced to imprisonment." As he spoke, the staff handed Su Xia the documents printed out on the printer and a QR code.

"This is your temporary identification, scan the QR code."

Su Xia picked up her phone.

"What is the WiFi password?"

"You don't have traffic?" The staff raised an eyebrow.

"Nope." Su Xia shook her head.

"I don't have a dollar for 5G, I'm really poor." The staff muttered quietly, "Eight eight." ”

"Thank you." Su Xia didn't seem to hear the staff's muttering, connected to the WiFi and scanned the QR code, and a form appeared.

Entry Permit for Downtown Residents - Electronic Version

"Save the screenshot of this electronic version, and use the electronic version if the written version of the temporary identification is lost. Keep in mind that the paper version is more powerful than the electronic version. The staff reminded.

"Thank you."

"Next."

Ade imitated Su Xia's example, and also got a written temporary identity certificate and an electronic version of the identity certificate.

"That's it?" Ade followed Su Xia out of the registration hall and said with some surprise.

"Or else?" Su Xia glanced at him, "Xiacheng is a powder keg, if you are not even allowed to enter the country, do you think that the people of Xiacheng will give you a riot in three days?" ”

"The lords of the upper city know very well that it is better to oppress the people of the lower city to a critical point than to oppress the people of the lower city to death. A tipping point where they want to have a seizure, but feel desperate for it and a little unnecessary. ”

"Oh." Ade nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Let's go."

……

Huanghe District, Songjiang City, Talent Market.

The market was crowded with people, and there was a long queue in front of every booth recruiting workers.

Ade's burly figure stood out among the crowd, and Su Xia in front of Ade was quietly observing the recruitment booths.

"XX company, recruit cleaning, 15~2000."

"XX construction site, recruiting laborers, three thousand ~ five thousand."

"XX Hotel, recruit dishwashers, two thousand ~ three thousand."

……

"Li Xin, what are we doing here?" Ade asked suspiciously, a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.

"Found it." Susha found what she wanted.

"What was found?" But when he saw Su Xia walking forward, he hurriedly followed.

The woman who was playing with her mobile phone with her chin suddenly went dark, and when she looked up, she saw a strong man taller than her awning appearing in front of the stall.

"Hello." A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and the woman lowered her gaze to see a teenager with a sunny smile on his face.

This kid is so good-looking.

The fear in the woman's heart was suddenly swept away by Ade's monster-like figure.

"How many people are recruited?" Su Xia pointed to the sign that read "Songjiang Liudao University, recruiting canteen waiters, salary negotiable" and asked.

"Five, you're coming?" The woman looked at Su Xia in surprise, obviously not understanding why he didn't go to school at his age and came here to work.

"Yes." Su Xia nodded, "Do you think we can?" ”

Hearing this, Ade straightened his chest.

Woman: "......"

This man as a waiter doesn't scare the imperial flowers of the school, right?

Forget it, it's rare for someone to come.

"Three thousand before tax a month, is it acceptable?" The woman asked.

"Li Xin, what is the tax?" Ade asked, confused.

"The lawful income of the citizens of the Empire is required to pay a certain amount of income to the Empire as a tax to be included in the Imperial treasury. If memory serves, the threshold for the tax of the empire is eight hundred. Susha explained.

"Yes, if there are no other special deductions, the threshold is eight hundred." The woman said.

"We didn't pay taxes when we went down to town."

"You're from the Lower City?" The plump lady looked at the two in surprise.
