Chapter 1759 Patrol Recruitment
Li Ziyu said: "Of course I want to get it. Many people in the military households have to apply for the recruitment - they are also working for Daming, and Australians are also working as errands, at least Australians don't owe wages."

His enthusiasm is not because he suddenly changed his nature and realized the advanced nature of the Senate.It is forced by life.His father used to work as an errand in the guards relying on his uncle's influence, and there was some "external money" in addition to the military salary, so he lived a good life.Now that the guard house has been completely dismantled, and the family has completely lost their livelihood, he no longer has the air of a "commander son" in the past, and urgently needs to find an errand to survive.

"I want to shave my head." Zeng Juan hesitated for a while, "This is a big matter, I have to discuss it with my family. Besides, it's still a question of whether they want us. Being a servant is very powerful. Everyone who is a scholar like us can see it." Can you make it?"

"Shaving your head doesn't mean losing your head. What are you afraid of?" Li Ziyu said indifferently, "Besides, we are scholars—how many scholars are there in Guangzhou City? There is no problem in applying."

Zeng Juan nodded with mixed feelings, he was still hesitant to shave his head - "the body, hair and skin are the parents", not to mention that this shaving is an Australian custom, which has not been seen in China since ancient times.I shaved my hair and became a "fake hair" for the police. I don't know what my teachers, classmates, relatives and friends think of me?Li Ziyu himself was Qiu Ba, so he didn't care.He was hesitating, when he suddenly saw the entry on the recruitment conditions, he shouted: "No way! I only need the above, but I'm not even 17 years old."

"Hey, my young master. You don't decide how old you are? Do Australians still go to your house to check your birth date? What does it matter if you say one or two years younger? Australians see scholars like us It’s something you can’t wish for if you come here for refuge. How can you pick so finely!”

Li Ziyu's words helped him make up his mind, and there was indeed only one way to go right now.He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try." He asked Zhang Yu again, "Will you go? Being an Australian police officer will definitely have a better future than making walnut cakes for you."

Zhang Yu nodded hesitantly: "To be honest, I want to go too, but I have to discuss this matter with my parents."

Looking at the qualification requirements in the newspaper, there is nothing special. They must be registered in Nanhai District and Panyu District of Guangzhou Special City, be in good health and have no serious diseases.There is no limit to men or women, or whether they are illiterate or not.Moreover, there is no need to issue a paternity insurance, as long as the head of this group issues a "certificate of a good man", proving that the person is indeed a good person in this family, and his character is correct.It can be said to be extremely loose.

They saw that the date of registration above was written on March 1635, 3.They know that this is the Australian calendar - they tell the whole city to use the "Gregorian calendar", also known as the "Gregorian calendar" as soon as they enter the city.This calendar is far from the "Daming Calendar" they used in the past.In order for the common people to adapt, in addition to distributing free "Gregorian calendar paper" to each household during the household survey, large-scale "wall calendars" were also specially distributed to businesses.This kind of "wall calendar" is the same as the "Gregorian calendar paper" distributed during the household census. It is printed on hard paper, and it is equipped with a poster in the style of "Huxian peasant paintings" praising "New Australia, New Life".But the size is much larger.The card deckers informed all shop owners that this "calendar" must be hung in a conspicuous place in the shop.

In order to allow the people to adapt to the new calendar, not only are there Chinese numbers below the Arabic numerals, but also the arrangement of the day of the week has been added.When typesetting, it was originally planned to add the year name of "Chongzhen Eight Years", but it was rejected-this year name was orthodox in the eyes of the ancients, and the continued appearance of the Chongzhen year name in their published "New Almanac" was tantamount to admitting themselves Not orthodox.

The "Police Call" registration on the "Yangcheng Express" began on the second day: that is, March 1635, 3 in the Australian calendar.

"March [-]," Zeng Juan said, "isn't it tomorrow?"

Li Ziyu nodded: "That's right. I'm planning to go to the procuratorate office to register early in the morning. Let's meet at the gate of Qian Pozi's Tea House."

The Office of the Inspector General of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty is now the Guangzhou Special City Police Station, and Qian Pozi Tea House is only a stone's throw away from it.

But Zeng Juan suddenly hesitated - shaved his hair and put his hair on!This thing is too big.He hesitated: "Is it so early? I think the registration will last until the 25th."

Li Ziyu said: "It's true until the 25th, but there is a sentence on it that's only when the quota is full. Many people in our area are preparing to take the police examination. What if we don't hurry up."

The guards in Guangzhou where Li Ziyu worked have been disintegrated. Some people have been recruited into the national army. The rest who don’t want to serve as soldiers have lost their livelihoods. It’s a good choice to be a policeman in Guangzhou, at least the whole family can have food. eat.

"Hurry up sooner rather than later!"

Under Li Ziyu's best encouragement, the three good friends decided to sign up early tomorrow morning.

When Zeng Juan returned home, when he mentioned that he was going to "take the police exam", his mother hesitated and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't your study be for nothing?"

Zeng Juan's father sighed and said, "I don't care if I don't read it. Ah Juan is not a material for studying. Last time I went to the society school to give a boxing gift to my husband. The husband said that A Juan might not pass the imperial examination. We should Find him a job early, don’t delay. It’s a good opportunity to go to the police examination—it’s better than making candles at home!”

"But you have to shave your head..."

"Shave it, let's shave it, we poor people have nothing to pay attention to." His father scratched his shiny and dirty hair because he hadn't washed it for a long time, "I think it will be fresher after shaving."

The next day, the three of them went to the gate of the city police station together. Li Ziyu boasted that there were not a lot of people, but there were quite a few people who came.Before the gate of the police station opened, the gate was already full of people.

It seems that the appearance of a person is really all kinds of things.Zeng Juan originally thought that he was 16 years old, but he didn't expect that there were teenagers who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there were also old men who were more than forty at a glance—probably because their hair was dyed with ink, and their old faces matched their appearance. With unnatural black hair, it looks weird.

There are really all kinds of people who come to sign up.Li Ziyu has a lot of acquaintances: many of the people who come here are the children of the guards in Guangzhou or escaped battalion soldiers.

Standing at the gate of the Municipal Police Station were two policemen in black uniforms and holding whistle sticks, with their legs spread apart, as fierce as two door gods.Li Ziyu has a lot of friends, and he knew these two people who were originally Nanhai County "Zaoban" government servants.He used to clear the way for the county magistrate in Nanhai County, but when the limelight changed, he became a post for Australians.

Just as he was feeling emotional, suddenly the clock tower rang, seven times in a row—now the bell tower in Guangzhou City is also knocked according to Australian rules——the gate of the police station slowly opened, and a policeman in black uniform came out, holding With a big tin horn:

"Those who sign up for the patrol exam go this way, line up one by one, and those who jump into the line and disturb the order will be expelled immediately!"

Those who sign up will undergo a physical examination as soon as they enter the gate. The minimum qualified height for recruiting patrol officers this time is 1.55 meters for men and 1.50 meters for women. There are also corresponding weight requirements—Liu San is not worried about too many fat people. While many people are underweight, chronic malnutrition is common.

Being underweight can be compensated for, but chronic malnutrition can lead to many health problems, especially tuberculosis.The police department obviously cannot recruit a group of tuberculosis patients as patrol officers.

As for those who are obviously older or younger, naturally they have to be brushed down.

Then came the physical examination. In addition to the basic vision and hearing, there was also a naked visual inspection to see if there were any skin diseases, parasites and sexually transmitted diseases.Except for sexually transmitted diseases, the conditions for the first two are relatively wide, as long as they have the ability to treat them, they are considered qualified.

One-quarter of the people were swiped just for the card of health check.The number of diseases suffered by the lower class people far exceeded his estimate.

The people in this time and space are indeed "endure hardships and stand hard work", but in fact they pay the price of overdrawing their health.

The last is the physical fitness test. If you run 5 meters within 1000 minutes, you will be considered qualified. There are also tests for standing long jump, grip strength and weightlifting.There are more people eliminated in this stage. Although many people seem to be qualified in height and weight, their lung capacity and muscle strength are low.Zeng Juan was eliminated in this session.

Li Ziyu and Zhang Yu passed the physical examination, but when it came to the qualification review stage, Zhang Yu was also rejected for falsely reporting his age.Because the household census has been done, Zhang Yu's date of birth is clearly registered in the household registration book, and there is no possibility of fraud.

In the end, only Li Ziyu passed all the examinations and got a "Notice of Passing the Initial Examination".

"A week later, report to the bureau with the notice for a second review." The policeman who sent the notice said, "If there is no problem, it will be considered a formal admission."

"Bad Lord..."

"Don't call me bad guy, call me comrade."

"Yes, the police—comrade, this, this, although my two good brothers are one or two years younger, they are both scholars! They are praised in sociology as a good article." Li Ziyu simply blew it up, "Poetry Proficient in everything, if it wasn't for...if it wasn't for...that heavenly soldier enters the city, this year's talent must be selected. See if you can make an exception and give another chance..."

The policeman laughed: "I don't have the right! The chief has the final say. We need scholars, but as a policeman, you will soon go to the streets to do things. What's the use of you just writing articles and poetry? Our police station doesn't rely on Make a fuss about catching thieves."

"Yes, yes, what you always said..." Li Ziyu felt a little disappointed when he saw that the other party didn't mean to "value scholars" at all.Just as he was about to leave, the policeman stopped him, "Since scholars can read and write, there will be opportunities in the future. Now is the time for employing people, and all agencies are recruiting for exams. Tell them to read more "Yangcheng News in the Express."
