Chapter 195 What do we have to pay

Wu Zhao, the lord of Dingxicheng, stood on the street of Dingxicheng Special Economic Zone, staring worriedly at the gate of the immigration office.

Twenty-seven people, he only stood here for a quarter of an hour, and twenty-seven people walked into the immigration office, which was several times more than the previous few days.

Moreover, Wu Zhao could clearly see that many people were not going alone, but as a whole family.

If we follow this rate, there will be more than a hundred people in an hour, thousands in a day, and tens of thousands in a month, not to mention that this number is still expanding rapidly.

How could Dingxi City bear such a loss of population? How could Wu Zhaoyi, as the city lord, shoulder such a responsibility?

A few days ago, he passed the news to the governor of Wu'an County. However, as a few days passed, the news was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without any reply, which made him feel even more unsure.

Emperor Wu had already issued an order that the Western Territory was not allowed to have any border conflicts with Utopia. Any matters related to Utopia must be treated with extreme caution. Although Wu Zhao was the lord of Dingxi City and a member of the royal family, he did not dare to make any moves at this juncture.

Act rashly.

Could it be that we just watched helplessly and allowed the people of Dingxi City to receive the so-called utopian citizenship, suddenly become utopian people, and drag their families to utopia?

Wu Zhao was thinking wildly when another family of five appeared at the door of the immigration office. Walking in front was a boy wearing a martial arts jacket. He looked a little uneasy, but he firmly took his family to the immigration office.

.

He didn't recognize the boy named Li Tietou. The student in Dingxi College who could impress Wu Zhao was either a child named by a nearby sect for special care, or a really talented youngster.

Li Tietou was just an unknown civilian student in Dingxi College. Even the teachers in his own class might not remember his name, and of course it was certainly impossible for him to catch Wu Zhao's eye.

But Wu Zhao still felt sad. Although he did not know this child, he had always agreed with Wu Yue's policy ten years ago and believed that most of these civilian monks would join the military in the future and were the important future and cornerstone of Wu State.

However, now he has to watch helplessly as their future is about to fall into the arms of others.

Wu Zhao felt a surge of anger in his heart. You people have no conscience. If there is no Wu Kingdom and no academy, why would you civilians with ordinary qualifications become practitioners? Didn't Wu Kingdom spend resources to train you? You guys

Don’t you know what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism mean?

He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to stop the boy and ask him what it was that Wu Guo had done to him that made him want to leave the country that had abandoned him.

But soon his sanity returned to his brain.

Don't start a fight rashly, be careful when doing so.

He saw the anxious boy and his family walking to the door of the immigration office. A guide in the room came up to them with a smile and ushered them in.

Now there are thirty-two people.

...

"Hello, this is the Utopia Immigration Office. Do you want to apply for an identity certificate or immigration?"

The guide Wu Fang looked at Li Tietou and his family with a smile on his face. This family combination is very classic, with a boy who is a practitioner who can call the shots, his parents and two sisters.

She set an agenda in her words and gave Li Tietou two options: apply for an identity certificate or apply for immigration. She could also see that the boy in front of her was a little nervous.

"Hello, I would like to know something about... immigration."

Li Tietou was a little nervous. He once again brought up the matter of going to Utopia to his family last night. His father Li Erbing only asked him if going to Utopia would be very beneficial to his practice.

He said yes, so today his family members took a day off from their respective jobs and came to the immigration office with him.

His family's love and trust in him put him under great pressure, and he didn't know what kind of future the decision he made would bring to the family.

"Okay, then please come with me with your family."

Wu Fang led a group of people to the information registration room. There was a long table and many chairs in the room. Wu Fang asked Li Tietou's anxious family members to sit down. Her colleagues quickly served tea.

"Here is a form that you and your family members need to fill out. It contains some very basic information."

Li Tietou took the paper and took a look. It contained very basic information, such as name, age, gender, job, abilities, specialties, etc.

"I'm sorry, my mother and my two sisters can't write..." Li Tietou said with some embarrassment. A civilian family like theirs had already put in all their efforts to support him in the Humane College.

"It's okay. We can help you fill it out. After arriving at Utopia, you can take a literacy class and you will soon learn basic reading and writing."

The smile on Wu Fang's face did not change at all. She walked to the door and called a few colleagues to come in and help register the information. "By the way, have you had breakfast?"

The information registration process went very smoothly. Several staff members were former residents of Dingxicheng. After speaking a few words of Dingxicheng dialect, we suddenly got closer to each other. The staff also served some steamed buns, eggs, and soy milk.

, and even made Li Tietou’s family express their gratitude again and again.

"Li Tietou, a student of Dingxi College, 17 years old this year." Wu Fang held Li Tietou's registration form in her hand, "Can I ask why you want to immigrate?"

"Miss Wang, the administrator of the library, told me that if I immigrated to Utopia, I would have the opportunity to enter college, take Mr. Yu Huan's courses, and become his student." Li Tietou sat upright and spoke seriously.

said.

"After you arrive at Utopia, there will be a preliminary examination to determine which grade you will enroll in. You must complete your secondary school studies before you can take the college entrance examination. And Utopia's university is not so easy to take, so you must work hard after you go to Utopia.

That’s all.”

Wu Fang was a little surprised by Li Tietou's reasons. There were many people applying for immigration these days, but most of them came for Utopia's better welfare benefits.

Li Tietou nodded dullly. If it were fair competition without discrimination, he believed that he would do it even if he worked hard.

"Before you join Utopia, there are some things I want to explain to you first." Li Tietou immediately became nervous when he heard what Wu Fang said.

They could gradually understand Utopia's political system, philosophy, and many other contents after going to Utopia. Wu Fang focused on the current information related to Li Tietou and their family.

Gu Jian

The first is the restriction on monks. Li Tietou is a monk. First of all, he must understand that monks are not allowed to harm ordinary people in Utopia. Once such a situation occurs, very serious penalties will be imposed depending on the severity of the case, up to the death penalty.

Similarly, in Utopia, his family members will also be protected by the law, and no one can harm them at will.

Li Tietou and his family have no doubts about this. They have heard of the concept of equality promoted by Utopia, but they still don't quite believe that Utopia will really allow monks to sacrifice their lives for ordinary people.

"The second thing is the settlement fee, because our school in Dingxicheng Special Economic Zone has not been completely completed, so you have to live in Utopia for a while first.

Therefore, we will pay you a settlement fee of 5,000 RMB per person, which will be used for your life in Utopia in a short period of time, renting a house, eating, buying clothes and furniture, etc.

The currency value of five thousand RMB and five thousand Wu Guo currency is almost the same, equivalent to half a Yuan stone.

If you encounter any emergency in Utopia and need money urgently, you can also apply for a loan from Utopia in your own name. Of course, with your current contribution level, you should only be able to apply for a loan of 5,000 RMB.

"

Li Tietou clenched his fists to hide his surprise, but his two sisters couldn't help but exclaimed, five thousand Wu Guo coins, even they both had a share!

"But Tietou, you have to pay attention. Your sister and parents' money was given to them by Utopia. They can give it to you, but you can't take it for granted that it is your money."

Although Wu Fang was speaking to Li Tietou, he was actually warning his parents. In a typical family like Li Tietou, a family often works in Utopia and earns all the money to support the only practitioner in the family.

They even take out loans to support practitioners.

Li Tietou's parents and sister immediately transitioned from surprise to panic. Even the two sisters themselves did not feel that the money should belong to them. The money they earned in the past was used to support their younger brother's training in the academy, and they did not feel that this money should belong to them.

Something is wrong.

"I know, I will pay attention to it." Li Tietou didn't know why, but he still agreed first and knew the current situation.

"The third thing is of course the arrangements for you after you go to Utopia. Tietou, if you want to go to college, you must go to school first. In addition, your two sisters are not over 20 years old yet, so we will ask you two to go too.

Study in school for a period of time and complete compulsory education.

As for whether you want to continue your studies or get directly employed after compulsory education, you can make your choice according to your personal wishes."

"School... costs a lot of money, right?" Li Tietou's eldest sister Li Daya asked timidly.

"Compulsory education is free and compulsory in our Utopia. After completing compulsory education, continuing to study will require a certain amount of tuition. However, the Ministry of Education also provides many scholarships to encourage students to continue their studies. The scholarships are very generous."

Wu Fang had a gentle smile on her face, but Li Tietou's two sisters looked not only unmoved, but also a little sad. If they had to go to school, they would not be able to work and earn money.

"Uncle, I saw that you wrote that you were a soldier before. After being discharged from the army due to injuries to your legs and feet, you have been doing carpentry in Dingxi City, right?"

"Hey, hey, I know a little bit of carpentry, and I also worked as a nurse for the old men." Li Erbing nodded repeatedly.

"Our Li family is a carpenter passed down in our family. My father's carpentry skills are very good. He made furniture for many noble people..."

"Tietou, don't talk nonsense! These are all my little tricks that can't be put on the stage, and they're not worth mentioning."

"Don't be modest. After we get to Utopia, someone will test your carpentry skills and give you a technician level. If your skills can be rated as a third-level technician, many units will rush to get you. Every time

How come the monthly salary is 20,000 to 30,000 RMB."

"Girl, how much did you say?!" Li Erbing trembled, his breathing became rapid, and he wondered if his ears were broken.

Twenty to thirty thousand yuan is equivalent to two yuan stones. The immortals who taught Li Tietou the immortal method in Dingxi Academy can hardly afford two yuan stones for a month, right?

"You heard it right, 20,000 to 30,000 RMB is equivalent to two to three yuan stones." Wu Fang said with a smile. She saw such a scene many times every day. The wages Utopia paid to ordinary people were not as good as Wu Fang's.

The country is completely crushed.

"If your craftsmanship is really good, and you can be rated as a first-class worker or even a special-class worker, and you can have an apprentice, your salary may reach 100,000!"

One hundred thousand, ten yuan stones.

There was sudden silence in the room, and the family members all turned their attention to Li Erbing, a man who had just turned 40 and already had white hair, and his rickety back seemed to be straighter.

He didn't know what Utopia's so-called first-class and special-grade workers were, but if he could really get ten yuan stones a month, he would give it a try no matter what.

"Auntie, I see that your specialty is cooking and textiles, right? When you go to Utopia with us, there will be a dedicated person to assess your level. If you are suitable, an organization will contact you soon.

They will also offer corresponding wages based on your skill level, and the wages at the same level will not be lower than those of your uncle's carpentry."

Li Tietou's mother nodded repeatedly, but couldn't say a word. She was thinking absurdly in her mind about how many dishes she had to cook in a month to earn 20,000 Wu Guo coins.

"But auntie, you are different from uncle. You are illiterate, so after going to Utopia, in addition to your usual work, you also have to attend Utopia's literacy classes in the evenings and weekends.

But don’t worry, the literacy class is also free. It teaches you how to recognize, read and write, and most of the people participating in the literacy class are the same age as you, so you don’t have to worry about being laughed at.”

Wu Fang then briefly talked about some things to note in Utopia. After they arrive in Utopia, someone will explain it to them in detail.

"I have said so much, do you have any questions to ask me?" Wu Fang looked at Li Tietou with a smile.

Li Tietou has calmed down from his excitement at this moment. If Utopia is really as good as Wu Fang said, after going there, their family's income will be more than ten times higher than before, and his two sisters will not have to be

He is a drag and can find a good home in Utopia.

But Li Tietou, who has lived in a cruel world since childhood, does not believe that there is such a pie in the sky.

"What you said is very beautiful, and it is like a fairyland to us. I am very worried about the traps hidden behind such sweet temptations, but I never thought that there is anything worthy of your concern about our family.

So I want to ask you, Utopia has given us so much, what do we have to pay for it?"
