After lunch, Lin Qizong took his household registration card to the Military Control Commission at the urging of his father-in-law. When he arrived at the eight-character wall outside the gate, he looked at it. OK! There were more than 30 people standing at the door, including these bunches. After a closer look, he knew more than half of them. It turned out that they were all Tong Sheng who came to register.

Among the people present, in terms of age, there are people in their twenties and thirties, in their forties and fifties, and there are even people in their 60s. From the perspective of family background, except for two merchant families, there are almost all poor families and none of them are officials.

The most special thing is that some people even wore round-necked shirts, which made Lin Qizong look down on him. He thought he was crazy about fame and fortune. He even used this hand, and he was not afraid of being pointed at the back and scolded while walking.

The so-called silhouette is actually the blue shirt in ancient poems. It originated from the Tang Dynasty and is a perfect Han Dynasty dress. Its shape is round neck and large sleeves, and the horizontal silhouette is placed on the bottom to make silhouettes. There are folds on the waist, and they are mostly made of blue fabric. The clothing system of the Ming Dynasty was not much different from that of the Song Dynasty, so it was naturally used.

However, the reason why Lin Qizong despised those who wore silhouettes was because even in the Ming Dynasty, only the scholars and ritual students who were ritualized during the county school sacrifice were worn. There was a saying among the people that "scholars are not on the silhouettes."

Although scholars in the Qing Dynasty usually wore gowns and gowns, they would wear gilded gold domes to show their status when they were fame of scholars, but they had to wear blue shirts every year when worshiping ancestors. If they didn’t have one, they had to borrow a piece of them. The surface said that our ancestors had never seen gowns and gowns from the Qing Dynasty, and their ancestors refused to recognize them. However, the scholars and forests understood that this was a lesson passed down by our ancestors, and they did not forget the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, which was also considered a limited spiritual resistance under the high pressure rule of the Qing Dynasty.

By the way, in order to win over scholars, the Qing court did not interfere in this, and continued to use it from the early Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.

Lin Qizong stepped forward and bowed to the familiar and unfamiliar people. Seeing that everyone was not moving, he said in surprise: "Why don't you go in?"

"Brother Deyuan, although the new dynasty has changed the system and changed the county government office to a military management committee, it is still an yamen after all! Although we are a child, we have no merits and reputations after all, so it is wrong to go in rashly, so it is better to wait. I believe that when the people in the gate see it, they will naturally come out and ask me to wait."

"Yeah yeah."

It was not surprising that everyone thought this. Although the Military Control Commission had already issued a notice, it stated that the Military Control Commission's door was open to the people and that if there was anything, they could come to find it at any time, and no one would ask for a door bag. However, in these days, ordinary people would not run to the yamen, and it would be too late to hide.

However, Guo Yu had repeatedly explained to Lin Qizong in the morning, saying that as long as you explain the purpose of the visit to the guards at the door, someone will take you to the registration office, so there is no need to be afraid.

So Lin Qizong smiled slightly and pretended to be free and easy, "Everyone, since it is said that it is a new dynasty, why bother to be shy? Just follow me."

After saying that, he walked up the steps in everyone's surprised eyes. When more than 30 Tong Sheng saw it, he couldn't help but secretly admire the person's courage. Someone followed him immediately, but most of them still didn't dare to move.

Lin Qizong walked to the gate and before he could wait for the guards to speak, he bowed to the other party and said, "I dare to ask this official, I am here to sign up for the imperial examination. Please give me some advice."

The soldier standing guard raised his hand and replied with a military salute, which scared Lin Qizong and several other Tong Sheng. Then he said "Wait" and shouted at the door. After a while, a man walked out of the door. He was not tall, but he was quite burly. He was holding a hard clutch in his hand, wearing a dark green military uniform without a military rank, a military cap, and an armed belt.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Huang and my name is Huang Lusheng. I am responsible for the registration of the Ninghai Prefecture Imperial Examination. You can call me Officer Huang."

Lin Qizong and others were surprised and thought to himself, "What kind of official is the official"? However, since this person in charge of the imperial examination registration, he should be similar to the official ceremonial officials in the previous ceremonial room. So several people hurriedly greeted him, some called "Huang Officer" and some called "Master Huang". When Huang Lusheng heard this, he quickly corrected it.

Those who came to Jiaodong as clerks of the Military Control Commission were almost all veterans who retired from Siberia. They had been in the Northern Navy for at least five years. Not only did they have enough food and clothing at home, but they had to be strong in their thoughts. Before coming to Shandong last year, the General Staff of the Northern Navy held an education conference. Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu both spoke to them, repeatedly emphasizing that everyone came to Shandong not to be the masters and enjoy the happiness, but to do things for the people.

Huang Lusheng asked Lin Qizong and others for the household registration card, then opened the hard clutch in his hand, compared the list of children in the county counted above, and found that there were a few of them, so he handed back the card, and told them to go in and register at the original ritual room behind the etiquette gate.

Lin Qizong and others bowed to thank him. Just as they were about to walk in, someone behind him said, "I dare to ask this master, about...when will I get the exam allowance?"

When he turned around, he saw an old Tongsheng in his fifties wearing a shirt, walking over and bowing to Huang Lusheng. When the man asked a key question, Lin Qizong couldn't help but stop and raised his ears. At the same time, the students waiting under the steps saw that Lin Qizong had all entered and came up.

Huang Lusheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped the other party up, saying, "Young man, don't have to do this..."

From the conversation between the two people, everyone realized that if they want to receive the "exam allowance" from Beihai Town, they must first complete the registration, and then participate in the "pre-exam training class" held by the Military Control Commission at the beginning of next month, which lasts for three days, and then they can receive the money.

Everyone thought they would have to wait at least a few months before they could get it, but they didn't expect that they would be there next month, and they were all very excited. Some of them had a few acres of land at home, but they had to support a seed of study, which made them live a very difficult life. Two taels of silver were really not a small amount for them.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The children led by Lin Qizong, followed the instructions of the soldiers standing guard along the way, and bypassed the Yimen Gate and came to the courtyard where the six rooms were previously located.

At this time, the air in the patio was filled with the smell of burning coal, which made Lin Qizong wrinkle his nose. He noticed that a white cylinder as thick as a calf was extended at a distance at every distance. After passing the eaves, the white cylinder turned upwards more than two feet long, and a faint blue smoke was faintly emitted. At the top of the cylinder, there was a conical hat.

"This is... chimney? What is it for?"

Lin Qizong was wondering, and the person following behind him gently pushed him and said, "Brother Deyuan, should we go to that office room?"

The six houses in Ninghai Prefecture County were originally arranged in the order of official and household rituals and punishments, from the northmost to the northmost to the eastmost to the northmost to the east. After the establishment of the Military Control Commission, the names of each house were changed according to the customs of Beihai Town; the official house became "personnel", the household house was changed to "financial and taxation", the ritual house became "cultural education", the military house became "public security police station", the punishment house was changed to "judicial", and the workshop was changed to "construction", and in addition, a customs and a "sanitation center" were set up.

The customs was set up in Longmen Port to replace the previous inspection department; because the medical staff of the health center are all female, in order to avoid material discussion, they are not currently open to the public and only undertake the functions of the internal clinic of the North Navy.

Because of Guo Yu's previous instructions, Lin Qizong plucked up the courage to come to the door of the second room on the left with a "cultural education" sign hanging and knocked twice.

"Please come in!"

When he opened the door, a warm heat came to his face. Lin Qizong saw one person sitting behind the two tables in the room, looking at him with a smile.

At this time, several children behind him were about to come in, and one of them quickly stood up and said, "Two people come in at a time. Sorry, everyone, this office room is too small."

When Tong Sheng heard him speak politely, he stopped walking in and just stood in the corridor and waited.

Lin Qizong and the people behind him walked into the house, first bowed to the two people behind the table. The two men also smiled and bowed, asked them for their household registration cards, and filled them out on the registration form. Lin Qizong found that the person opposite was holding a pen was very strange, just like holding a carving knife, with the handwriting like a knife carving an axe, and the order of writing was not from top to bottom, from right to left, but from left to right, from top to bottom.

Soon, he was attracted by the pen in the hand of the person opposite him. Not to mention that the pen holder was as crystal clear as crystal, with a black line in the middle, and the material was very strange. What shocked him the most was that there was no need to touch the ink in writing.

This is something that has never been heard of!

While he was swimming, he noticed that something strange was placed in the corner of the house, which made him unconsciously make a "huh". The thing looked black and like a cylinder. There was a silver-white kettle on the square plate at the top, with water vapor emitting from the spout, and three low legs at the bottom. The white kettle he saw outside the door before, came down from above the window and connected to a prominent position on the edge of the square plate.

Lin Qizong immediately realized that this should be an object similar to a charcoal furnace, which made the house warm as spring. He couldn't help but think that everything in the new dynasty government was strange.

Could it be that not unusual? A cast iron coal stove with chimney was something that only existed in the 1950s, and it was not available in the Qing Dynasty at all!

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the development of the coal mines in North Quanzhou, Kuye Island in the Central Coal Mine... Well, mainly more and more people were sent to mine coal. In addition to the Qing army prisoners of war and Tsarist Russian prisoners of war who refused to repent, there were also many cult elements, and almost every two days, four coal ships arrived at the port.

The steel mill in Boli and the industrial area east of the Falin River did not use so much coal, so the old coal stove used to live in bungalows in the past was "invented" by Chen Qingsong. The production and assembly of this thing is not complicated. Each component can be formed by pouring. Civil Affairs taught the production method of honeycomb coal through community organizations.

Another very important point is that as Beihai Town's urbanization and the development area of ​​farmland become wider, logging has become a hard task; people in the city have to run far to find birch forests, and the trees on the mountain cannot be cut down casually, so when Beihai Trading Co., Ltd. set up coal stoves, it was quickly accepted by the people.

In order to solve the problem of the troops spending winter, before the beginning of winter last year, the Civil Affairs Bureau transported thousands of cast iron coal stoves and distributed them to the Military Control Commission of the Four County.

In the Qing Dynasty, coal was produced in Laiyang, Haiyang, Qixia and other places in Dengzhou Prefecture, but in this year, the main purpose of coal was iron smelting and metallurgy. People also had to use charcoal and firewood to keep warm.

Kong Shaoan, who was in charge of Wendeng, bought tens of thousands of kilograms of coal from Haiyang and other places through merchants in the city, and then asked the soldiers to do it themselves to make honeycomb coal, which solved the problem of winter heating in the Military Control Commission and the military camp.

At this time, after the man opposite Lin Qizong filled out the registration form, he opened a blank "account book", and each page was divided into two couplets. He filled in Lin Qizong's name and the door number on the household registration card, and then tore it off with the surprised Lin Qizong, saying: "Go out and turn right and hand it over to the person in the room."

Lin Qizong collected his household registration card and left the house in a daze. He came to the door of the house where Cao Fugui and Guo Yu took ID photos before. He knocked twice, and a "please come in" came from inside, so he pushed the door and went in.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Qizong was stunned. He found that the furnishings in the room were very strange. Like Guo Yu, he also tried to figure out what the black and silver umbrella on the shelves in the room were used for, but the clerk in charge of taking photos obviously would not give him such a chance. The other party asked for the order in his hand, and then let him sit under the white wall with the best light, where there was an official hat chair.

"Sit on that chair... just put your hands flat, take off your hat... don't cross your legs... don't tremble."

Lin Qizong had no idea what he was going to do. Four or five steps opposite him, a black tripod stood with a strange black box on it, and there was a lens that seemed to be a crystal surface in his direction.

At this moment, he was stiff all over, and he didn't know how to let go of his hands and feet. However, the man opposite was still ordering him: "Turn your head right a little... Turn left... Look at my hand... raise your head... OK! Don't move..."

After a slight "click", the man tore off the lower half of the two previous couplets, picked up the pen and marked it on it, and said to Lin Qizong: "Five days later, I will take photos here."

Lin Qizong didn't understand what "photo" means, so he said "um", then bowed. He put on his hat, stood up in a daze and walked to the door. When he saw the next person walking in with a curious look, the other party bowed to him. Lin Qizong thought of the scene where he was being manipulated just now, and looked at this person, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch twice.
