Chapter 1512 New Jobs

I heard that being assigned to the national police made Li Yongxun depressed for a while—she had seen “policemen” in Dongmen City wearing bamboo hats, black uniforms with leggings, and a white short stick hanging from their waists—not to mention the “police” of stealing and robbery. case", even quarreling and throwing garbage and spitting everywhere.It is simply "wider than a dog".From the perspective of the scope of their responsibilities, they are generally the fast-moving arrests in the Daming Yamen, the out-and-out "cheap servants".

"What do you know?" Seeing that she was depressed, Ke Yun knew what she was thinking. "The national police is not a fast-track squad in the county government—it's a powerful department directly under the Senate. The police are not untouchables. We There is no such thing as untouchables in Australia in the Song Dynasty. This task is not something ordinary people can do, and many naturalized people are rushing to do it."

"Well, are the police officers considered officials?" Li Yongxun asked pitifully.

"Of course forget it, you see, after you enter the job, you will be awarded a trainee police sergeant, and after three months of service, you will be promoted to a second-level police sergeant-this is a listed, serious 'cadre' under the Senate. Salary is paid on a monthly basis, there are various subsidies, and uniforms are issued every year...Do you think the government officials in Daming have this kind of treatment?"

In addition to the "team leader", the rest of the yamen servants are nothing more than "registered" official yamen servants and "official" helpers.Not to mention the official status, even the "management officials" are not counted.As for such things as salary and treatment, the Yamen has never considered it.

Li Yongxun was a little tempted, the "official body" is so attractive, even if it is a "sesame official", it is still an "official".She was very envious of Ke Yun's uniform and his solemn, calm, and authoritative attitude when he was "serving the public" - this kind of "prestige" is completely different from the officials of Ming Dynasty.

His flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, and "waist card" are just "jokes" after all, and they can't be real.The police position in Lingao is a real "official status" and a real "serving the public".

Taking a step back, even if I don't want to, is there any choice in Lingao, the old nest of Australians?Ke Yun's words "Ziminglou is short of people" are still in my ears.

"But I think of my sister's pedestrian department..." Li Yongxun looked at Ke Yun's black uniform and sighed.

Ke Yun smiled: "It's still a long time, take your time."

So Li Yongxun officially became a "policeman".First, he filled out the "Registration Form for Enrollment of Public Officials", and then was arranged to enter the "Police Study Class" in Fangcaodi.Since it was the time when the National Police was expanding and the police system was refreshed, a large number of personnel were urgently needed.Li Yongxun himself can write and count, and has "family background", so he did not enter the three-month police training class, but entered the one-year police administration class.

In addition to studying, Li Yongxun also thought of writing letters to her cousin at home and in Foshan several times, but she cringed when she thought of Ke Yun's words, and how could she send them to them after writing?The inn was under the control of the Australians, and there were no acquaintances here to trust, so the matter was delayed.

Studying in Fangcaodi for one year changed her a lot. When she graduated, she got excellent grades, and then she was assigned to work in the household registration office.The police rank was also promoted to trainee assistant.

The work at the household registration office is very boring. Although she put on the black uniform she once envied, she is engaged in clerical work every day.As the Central Government Affairs Council began to establish a household registration system for the entire island, countless household registration materials flooded into the household registration office, and the entire household registration office was extremely busy just making household registration files.

Originally, Ran Yao and the others had hoped that the "yellow books" of household registration confiscated by various county governments and prefecture government treasuries in Hainan could provide some kind of reference.The result is the same as what the people in the big library said: "I am more confused after referring to it."The "Yellow Book" that has been compiled by Tianqi for more than ten years does not provide detailed household registration information, or even a "Book of the Dead": it is full of people in their [-]s and over.

After experiencing the taste of the "Yellow Book", Li Yongxun's little love for Daming became less and less.In the household registration office, in addition to the newly trained police officers, there are also a few retained book offices of the household houses in various counties. In a word, the set of things that the Australians brought and promoted is many times better than the things that are passed down orally from their ancestors and regarded as secret books.

Although Li Yongxun complained to some extent about the work she was engaged in, she had heard from a young age that the top officials crushed people to death in the officialdom, and after a year of rigorous police study, she had developed a good habit of obeying discipline.And although Ke Yun no longer appeared as often as before, he would always meet and chat with her for ten and a half months—obviously, Ke Yun's "guardianship" of her had not ended.If I don't take care everywhere and try my best to integrate into the Australian system, Ziminglou will still "wait for it".

There are also some small adjustments in the boring work. Li Yongxun was designated as an "elective" in "Interrogation" in the police school, and this course was taught by Zhou Dongtian himself.After graduating, he started "part-time" service in the interrogation office.

This kind of "part-time job" does not happen every day.When the correspondent silently sent a "temporary overtime notice", Li Yongxun knew that he would be busy again at night.

Li Yongxun's part-time job is "interrogation", or rather "torture".

The interrogation office is located in the basement below the atrium.The thick leather-wrapped door was permanently shut, and to enter the place one had to pull the bell rope, and a small window would open in the door, revealing the watchful eyes of the guards.

Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter. Even Li Yongxun who often comes to "part-time jobs" cannot enter without an "overtime work slip".

Once entering this gate, there is another staircase, which leads to the basement in a twist.At the bottom of the stairs was a locked iron gate guarded by guards - standing here waiting for the door to be opened, one could hear the occasional shrill scream, and beyond that, the hum of the ventilation pipes.

Through the iron gate, there is a long corridor with a vaulted roof. Gas lamps are lit here day and night. The corridor is made of terrazzo, with drainage ditches on both sides, and the walls are all tiled.On both sides are a series of doors, the doors are covered with thick leather pads - and there are peeping windows on them.

According to the content of the notice, Li Yongxun entered one of the rooms to start her work of "assisting interrogation".

The objects of interrogation include men and women, and women are fine. In Li Yongxun's family biography, there is a secret "female punishment" handed down by Jin Yiwei, which is specially used to torture and torture female prisoners.But asking her to torture a male prisoner made her uncomfortable for a while: especially when he was still naked.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't hesitate when she "worked"--Dad often said: an errand is an errand, you don't have to think about it.Do what your boss tells you to do.Chief Zhou, who had taught her, said: There is no distinction between male and female prisoners.

Li Yongxun works hard. He not only has family skills, but also has been "influenced by modern times".Not only because of her solid "professional" skills, but also psychological advantages: in a society where men are superior to women, stripped naked and tortured by a young woman is a great humiliation for many people, so they collapse will be much faster.Soon, she gained a little fame in the basement—even the old lady Zaoban in the Qiongzhou government and county yamen, which was retained by the National Police and Political Security Bureau, looked at this girl with admiration: This girl really has skills.

Some people have already guessed that she should be from a "gongren" family - the unique skills of her dew are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.Li Yongxun followed Ke Yun's instructions and never dared to tell his family background.

The sense of accomplishment of working overtime at night slightly adjusted Li Yongxun's boring daily work.Working overtime is hard work, but it also has small benefits - for example, you can get half the overtime pay than normal overtime work, which has become very important to Li Yongxun, who originally had no concept of money.

After Li Yongxun officially joined the national police, he moved into a dormitory area specially provided for single police officers.There is no rent to pay here, only water and gas bills.The police headquarters also issued meal coupons according to the shifts at work.She didn't spend much on food, and since she was a single woman, she didn't have to support a family, so she should have ample money.

However, she lived a tight life every month-Li Yongxun, like all young people who broke away from family control and started to live independently in big cities, was soon lost in the prosperity of Lingao.

Her hometown, Nanjing, was of course a rare bustling big city at that time, but it was far from comparable to Lingao in terms of material wealth.There are all kinds of delicious, fun, and useful things here. Not to mention, the social atmosphere where women can roam and consume at will makes her fall into the trap of hedonistic consumption faster.

Since she was a child, she had no worries about food and clothing, lacked the sense of urgency about money, and had no family to support her in Lingao, so her money was naturally loose.

First came all kinds of perfumes, cosmetics, trinkets, and then all kinds of "delicious food" that she had never eaten before, and then she fell in love with buying all kinds of "magazines".Clothes recently—although she wears uniforms almost every day, as a woman, she has a natural passion for clothing. In the past, there were very few types of ready-made clothing in Dongmen City, and they were all work clothes of various styles.Later, in consideration of digesting loot and returning currency, Lingao Garment Factory began to consciously produce and put in modern styles of "fashion": some of them were modified according to modern styles, and some were designed and produced according to the "improved Hanfu" provided by the Hanfu Party members. have to.

In this way, Li Yongxun became a "Moonlight Clan" in Lingao.Temporary overtime work in the basement became an important income supplement that she was looking forward to.
