Chapter 506 Demolition Payment

The notification from the Headquarters of the Pioneering Army to assist in the conscription was sent to all the departments under the crossing regime.Among them, the ones that really caused some waves were in places like Taipei.

Without him, interest.

These people in Taipei, whether it is Wu Sanye or Yusheng Young Master, although their lives are not much different from other places, and their wages are not too high, but these people have an invisible shackle: they are not allowed to leave this place.

To put it bluntly, the higher-ups treated them as exiles.

Wu Sanye will not say anything, he is a real violent labor reform prisoner.As for people like Yusheng, although they didn't say it publicly, everyone knows that the clan members who were immigrated to Taipei are actually exiles in disguise, and "don't leave Taipei for no reason."

In the words of later generations, that is "deprivation of political rights for a period of time."

This punishment is sometimes quite severe.Still talking about Mr. Wu: After he came to Taipei before, he had actually applied for cashing in the demolition funds for his family's land acquisition in Shanghai.

However, the answer he got in the end was: When your labor reform period expires, you will be eligible to go to the senior officials to handle this matter.

The same is true for Yusheng: In theory, he cannot leave Taipei in his life. Perhaps when the regime of the Chuanzhong is stabilized, future generations will escape from this place and remove this shackle.

So when the pioneering army's conscription notice was delivered to Taipei, there was an uproar among these second-class citizens at the first time-the document clearly stated that anyone who joined the pioneering army would have all previous crimes cleared, and their status was equivalent to that of "ordinary people." ".

Everyone is quite familiar with this routine, because since ancient times, emperors will not only give amnesty to the world when they change their terms, but also enlist criminals, son-in-laws, and petty officials to join the army in foreign wars.

And this ordinary person's identity in the document is the identity that a group of exiles have dreamed of.

Wu Sanye and Yusheng seriously considered this matter immediately.

Judging from the general introduction in the document, this Laoshizi Pioneering Army was formed to attack the natives in Nanyang who "disobeyed the king".And this kind of work, in fact, they have already done it on the natives of Taipei before, so they are familiar with it, and there is no obstacle to execution.

As for saying that everyone has never been to Nanyang. It’s a joke, everyone has never been to Taipei before, aren’t they all places outside of China?No matter how bad it is, what's the difference?
So after a brief discussion, Mr. Wu, Yusheng, and a few younger brothers who came with him decided to seize this opportunity to clear their charges and serve in the Pioneering Army.

That night, the impatient people boarded the boat to Huanggang overnight, and rushed from Jinguashi to Huangang Town overnight along the coastline, following the light from the lighthouse of Huangang in the distance.

Early the next morning, there was a long queue outside the human resources department of the Second Construction Company's Huanggang Branch: the act of applying for transfer to the Pioneering Army was quite marketable in this place where there were many prisoners of reform through labor.

The manager of the human resources department with a goatee and gray hair opened the file of Wu Sanye not long after.

The staged comments on the file read: Wu Meng was able to abide by the laws and regulations during his sentence, be positive, and put his heart into reforming through labor.Seeing this sentence, the manager didn't make any further troubles, saying that Wu Meng passed the review, so the third master got the letter of introduction with the red stamp.

Several others also passed the level smoothly.

Next, those who pass the review have two days to settle down.

Mr. Wu and his bachelors have nothing to settle for. In the past two days, apart from handing over the work, they also spend money to set up wine, invite their former colleagues to practice, and celebrate their escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Yusheng is a bit more troublesome, he still has his mother and younger sister to settle down.

But speaking of it, Yusheng and his mother have nothing to worry about except for some sorrows and worries.

Traveling through the territory under the rule of the masses, the basic life and dignity of the people have been well resolved. There is no problem for a mother and daughter to maintain the grocery store, and there will be no nonsense things in the Ming society.

In particular, Taipei is a place where criminals are exiled, and the control of law and order is extremely strict.Anyone who commits a crime here for the second time, no matter how big or small, will be sent to the depths of the forest as a slave if he steals a penny.Therefore, although Huanggang Town is a place of exile, the law and order can be said to be closed at night.

As for Yusheng's mother, this middle-aged woman is still adhering to the traditional three obediences and four virtues, "obedience to son when husband dies", so it is impossible for her to interfere with Yusheng's choice.

What's more, Master Yusheng also made it clear to his mother that this time is a good opportunity. As soon as he returns from the army or makes some achievements, he can bring his mother and younger sister to live in the bustling Tainan, where there are many Hospitals and streets, everything.

In the end, Yusheng also promised that he would write a family letter to his mother in time.Anyway, now that the postal service is well-developed, letters are sent by regular boats within the general's mansion, so there will be no delay.

In this way, after two days of mourning in the face of two crying women, Master Yusheng, one head and two elders, and carrying a heavy luggage, met Wu Sanye and his group at the pier.

At Huanggang Wharf, today a team of almost 200 people boarded a passenger ship specially to pick up people.

After waving goodbye to the family who came to see him off, the passenger ship set sail, and Mr. Wu hurriedly left the place where he was imprisoned, and went straight to Tainan, a symbol of freedom.

Two days later, the 200 or so people who came with the ship have been placed in an empty military camp in Tainan.

There was a lot of noise in the chaotic barracks.There are not only heroes from Taipei, but in fact there are applicants from all over the world, and the total number has reached as many as 500.

Still a long queue.Holding the letter of introduction and personal information, Mr. Wu and the others stood in line patiently on the playground until a middle-aged civilian man sitting behind a wooden table, wearing tortoiseshell-legged myopia glasses and an olive green military uniform took the documents from Mr. Wu.

After asking about the registration process, the third master finally got the little "temporary pass" he had been thinking about day and night.

It will take some time before the formal military status can be obtained, but now with this small certificate, the third master can freely enter and leave the military camp, "restore political rights", and act as a normal person in the establishment created by the cross-travelers. activities in society.

A group of people who received the documents quickly left the barracks - the military discipline here is not strict, after all, the Pioneer Army is not a regular army, but a land reclamation regiment that is half army, half civilian.

As soon as the younger brothers went out, they happily ganged up and went to Chikan Street to play.But Sanye and Yusheng didn't have that much time to spare: there were still important things to do.

In the next two days, Yusheng accompanied the third master in and out of several yamen in Chikan and Dayuan Island, including but not limited to the Chikan District Government, the Port Authority, the Land Resources Bureau, and even a fearful street. No. 76 made a trip.

There is no way, the matter that Mr. Wu personally advocated about Zhang Su's private Hong Kong demolition funds is really too troublesome.One is that a long time has passed, and the other is that there are many twists and turns. At first, he went to Taihu Lake and became a hostile person. Now he has no skin and no face to come back to ask for money, and all departments love to ignore him.

In addition, this matter also involved Mr. Xiong in Shanghai, as well as the intelligence department and the port construction department, so it was very troublesome in itself, and it could not be explained clearly in one or two yamen and a few words.

Fortunately, the government system of Chuanzhong was first established, and it was a prosperous and prosperous sunrise moment, and the public affairs system has not yet shown any negligent behavior.So trouble is trouble, after all things are still moving slowly.

So a week after Wu Sanye came to Tainan, a clerk from the Land Resources Bureau came to the barracks and found him.

The clerk's surname is Zhang, and he is not very old.What he brought was good news: Master Xiong in Shanghai had already replied to the telegram, and he did not deny that Wu Meng actually owned Zhang Su's private port before, and reported the actual area of ​​that private port.

Although this area is not large, only four acres of land in total, and the nearby Zhangsu Beach is not included, but this is the four acres of land in the core area of ​​Shanghai Port!

When Clerk Zhang said this, he told the third master in an envious tone: In the end, 3 to 5 taels of commercial real estate demolition funds should be returned to the third master.But this process will be very long, because everything has to wait for the written documents to go back and forth between Tainan and Shanghai by boat, and then go through multi-departmental review, which will take about two to three months.

After hearing this sentence, there was a burst of crazy booing in the temporary dormitory of the third master and the others.A few younger brothers excitedly picked up the washbasin and jars and began to knock on them: "Brother, we have money, and being a boss, it's just a hard life!"

"Thank you, Officer Zhang, for letting me know!" Naturally, the veteran Wu Sanye would not lose his footing at this time.

He knew that under the rule of Marshal Cao, there were many civil servants exiled after corruption in Taipei, so Mr. Wu did not dare to bribe Officer Zhang at this time.

While sending Officer Zhang out, he was full of good things, and he took out the high-end black Lanzhou used to do business and asked Officer Zhang to smoke. When he was done, he asked Officer Zhang to pay close attention to this matter: "When you have money in the future, you have to invest in it after all." Yes, at that time, I have to ask Director Zhang to point out the maze, there is a good way, and everyone can make money together."

In this way, after making a little hidden promise, Wu Sanye sent Officer Zhang out of the barracks with a smile.

After returning to the camp, the third master, Yusheng and his group first expressed their feelings for Cao Dashuai's benevolence, righteousness and attention: he is such a shameless person, replaced by Daming, who dared to ask the government to demolish after becoming a traitor payment?For the sale of tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the money for a rebel like him, he has already had his head chopped off and wiped away by the officials.

I don't want to be here with Marshal Cao, but Ding is Dingmao and Mao, and one size fits one size. It's really amazing!

There is nothing more to say next, and you can work in the pioneering army with peace of mind, and wait for the money to be distributed.

Wu Sanye knew very well that the so-called being a boss with money did not show this - the reason why those yamen could talk to him was because he signed a five-year contract with the Pioneer Army, which was regarded as a crime and meritorious service.

Once he takes money to be the boss and fails to fulfill the contract, he will be prosecuted in minutes and return to Taipei to be an exile.

Wu Sanye now has a good understanding of the operation rules of the time-traveling regime, and the same sentence: Ding is Ding Mao is Mao.

In any case, he had to earn his life in the Pioneer Army and live for five years.
