Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

After eating the wontons, it was already bright in the sky. The originally bustling street gradually saw more pedestrians, in addition to the vendors doing business.

The streets gradually became lively, with more and more voices mixed in.

There are the hawkers' cries and the customers' bargaining; there are the adults' whispered gossip and the crying and making noises of children, and the peddler who is in a good mood occasionally singing a few folk songs. The whole city is filled with the vigorous vitality and the smell of fireworks.

On this early morning street, they felt the warmth and affection between people.

Realize that there are many beautiful things in this world worth discovering and cherishing.

Liu Caixia took the lead and took a deep breath, feeling the freshness and tranquility of the morning.

They all knew that this beautiful morning was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go.

"After we finish eating, let's go."

Father Liu stood up and said to the boss, "Boss, collect the money."

"Okay, sir, seven large bowls of wontons for eighty-four cents."

"Okay, I'll give you some."

"Yes, I'll charge you eighty-four cents. Please take care, sir. I'll come back next time if it tastes good."

"thank you boss."

Walking along the bluestone road, passing through the bustling crowd, with excitement in their hearts, the group arrived at the county government office a quarter and a half hours later.

There are red lanterns hanging at the gate of the county government office, and it seems that the county government is already preparing for the New Year.

Two gatekeepers stood at the door, with swords on their waists, watching the passers-by solemnly.

Seeing Liu's father and his group stopped in front of the signboard at the entrance of the county government office, he couldn't help but look at them twice, as if he was trying to figure out their situation.

Yes, although they didn't have much luggage, but each of them still carried two bags.

There is a new notice and an old notice on the notice board. The new notice means that it is the New Year and reminds everyone to pay attention to safety.

The old notice was the kind that required everyone to apply for identity proof, and it was dated three months ago.

It seems that the government office was the first to implement it, and then it was sent down to the counties under its jurisdiction.

Providing identity documents to everyone is not a small matter. In some remote villages, some people may not be able to enter the city for a year, and some people will never enter the city unless something happens.

This can only be done by the county government notifying the town, the town mayor notifying the village head, and so on. It is relatively troublesome to implement.

This is the modern census.

After seeing that there was no information to be found, Father Liu brought a group of people to the gate of the county government office.

An officer guarding the gate was the first to ask: "This is the county government office. What can I do for you?"

The words were quite polite. Father Liu immediately handed over the pass he had obtained earlier and explained the whole story.

The officer looked at the pass and saw an official seal on it, so it didn't look fake.

"You guys come with me."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

The official walked in front without saying a word. He crossed the gate, walked through a short corridor, and directly saw the county government office.

There is a large desk in the middle, which looks quite similar to the one in the TV series. There is a plaque hanging behind it that reads "A clear mirror hangs high"

Facing it was a large desk, which looked very similar to the county and government offices I had visited before. It should be the lobby.

Next to it are the second hall, third hall, study and other offices, and further away are the household department, barracks, granary and other departments, and of course there are also the prisons and torture chambers that are most common in TV dramas.

These are things they have never seen since they came here.

Ordinary people usually do their business in the lobby, and those in need will be arranged to go to the side hall.

The previous two times I went to the county government office, I only stayed in the lobby and the side hall for a while.

Haven't been anywhere else.

Since Liu's father and his group arrived early, there was no one in the county government office at that time, and even the county magistrate was not there yet.

The official who led the way said, "Wait a moment. The county magistrate is currently handling government affairs. If you have anything to say, I will go and let him know first."

"Then please tell the officer that you have seen our pass and we want to find a place to settle down here. I wonder what the policy is."

"I see. Wait a moment."

The attitude of the police was quite good, not like the extreme police in TV dramas.

After all, they are in the minority.

After the officers left, there was no one in the lobby, but there were voices coming from the room next door.

The county magistrate is not the only staff member in the county government.

It seems that there are some other positions, and I think Liu's father is not clear about them. I only learned a little bit when I chatted with Luo Hong before.

The working hours of the county magistrate in ancient times should be different from the current nine-to-five. It seems that they were generally scheduled for about an hour each in the early morning, morning and afternoon.

In the early morning, important government affairs such as official documents are usually handled and cases are reviewed.

In the morning and afternoon, I would receive some visiting people or handle some miscellaneous matters.

Not only limited to trial cases, all matters within the jurisdiction of a county need to be handled by the county magistrate.

In fact, in modern terms, it is just a job.

In ancient times, people were influenced by corrupt officials and believed that officials were meant to do nothing but eat, drink and have fun.

In fact, this is not the case. Most people still work diligently.

Before they could take a closer look, the official came out and said, "Come with me. The county magistrate has already looked at your documents. There is no way to verify your place of origin. I will take you to the household registration office to register first, and then arrange a place for you to settle down.

Once you have the household registration certificate, it will be recorded in our county, the government office, and even the whole country.

It is impossible to trace what happened in the past, but it will be different in the future. Once this personal identification is implemented nationwide, everyone will be recorded. Don't do those things that steal, kill, or burn. "

"How could that be? We have always been good citizens. We used to run a small business and lived a good life. We would definitely not do such bad things. I believe that if we work hard in the future, we will still live a good life."

"Okay, this is our county's clerk, you can talk to him. I'm going back to work."

Father Liu was originally thinking about whether he should give the bribe to the officer, but before he could react, the officer had already left.

All I can say to the person leaving is, “Thank you very much.”

Then he turned around and bowed to the person sitting behind the desk: "Meet the Household Clerk!"

The truth is that they didn't know how to salute at this time. They didn't kneel before, so they didn't need to kneel now.

He is not the county magistrate, so just let him act according to circumstances.

After saying that, there was nothing they could do but wait for someone's response.

"No need to salute."

The clerk in the household affairs office was quite friendly. After finishing the booklet in his hand, he closed it and put it aside before answering them.

“I heard you want to register your household registration?

Do you have any ideas you can tell me?

I will also look at the situation in the villages in the county to see what arrangement would be more reasonable.”
