Chapter 1263 Municipal Library
Liu Zhenguo was basically satisfied with Liao Yuan's skills. Seeing that he did not bargain in terms of treatment, his favorable impression increased. However, Liao Yuan said that he has eight brothers under his command, but his store does not need to support so many martial arts guards. Moreover, there are so many people who dance with guns and sticks, and it will not attract special attention from the government. Too appropriate. Immediately, he explained the situation to Liao Yuan. The martial arts master could only accept four people at most, and the rest could only ask them to find another job.
Liao Yuan thought that since the store was recruiting workers, if there was an opportunity to get these people together, he could still fight for it. He immediately responded: "My brothers are strong and can do anything other than martial arts. If Boss Liu has other errands, even if they are heavy and heavy tasks, we can do them.”
Liu Zhenguo felt soft after hearing this, thinking that there were other positions to recruit anyway, and it would be easier to recruit Liao Yuan's people as well. Just when he was about to agree to his request, he heard Zuo Qing's soft voice behind him. Coughed. Liu Zhenguo himself had been traveling all over the world for many years, and he immediately realized that Liao Yuan was not a person who knew the ins and outs of the situation. He recruited all of his group under his command in one go. Instead, it will slowly turn into a cancerous tumor in this store. Although he has good intentions, these people may not repay him with good intentions in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhenguo gave up his original idea and only said that the other errands of the store had already been selected and could not hire more people. Although he sympathized with Liao Yuan's brothers, he was still helpless and could only ask them to find another job. That’s it.
Liao Yuanyuan and Liu Zhenguo were unwilling to let go, so they said no more. However, out of the nine people they were with, four of them were now able to find their whereabouts, which was already considered a good result.
When Feng Shi saw that the two parties had agreed on this errand, he immediately took out the prepared documents and asked both parties to sign them. This document is made in quadruplicate. In addition to one copy each for Party A, Party B and the intermediary dental office, one copy must be submitted to the immigration agency under the Sanya Administrative Committee for filing. If a private employment agreement like this is not registered with the government, the relevant personnel will be punished if it is discovered. Especially for dental shops that handle this kind of thing, if they fail to guide both parties to complete this registration process, they may even have their business qualifications revoked.
After Feng Shi picked up several documents and checked them one by one, he said with a happy face: "Everyone, this matter is settled. Everyone keeps these documents. Maybe the government will check them in the future. I will pay for the intermediary fees. I hope you can settle the matter as soon as possible. If you have any other requests, please feel free to tell me.”
Liu Zhenguo was eager to employ people, so he immediately said to Liao Yuan and others: "If it is convenient for you, move here today! Work will start tomorrow, and you will live in the store from now on. There are furniture, bedding, and daily utensils here. You just need to bring Just bring your personal clothes.”
Liao Yuan and others returned to their residence to pack their bags and informed Liu Shang of the news. Liu Shang warned: "Since this owner has a lot of cooperation with the Haihan government, you should pay more attention to this news after you go there. Since he has built a business store in Sanya, he must have a lot of trade. Look at those goods You can also roughly infer the scope of its activities based on its origins and whereabouts. You can also pay attention to which Ming merchants have business dealings with this owner.”
Liao Yuan attached great importance to Liu Shang's advice and responded continuously. Now that he has accepted this job, he will move out of the courtyard soon. However, both Liao Yuan and Liu Shang feel that they should continue to rent the vacant room to avoid the inconvenience of having outsiders move in. As the remaining few people continue to live here, Liao Yuan and others also have reason to come back from time to time to communicate about recent progress.
As for the remaining people, Liao Yuan has also asked Feng Shi to continue arranging such errands for them. Feng Shi got a lot of commission from this kind of business, so he naturally agreed and promised to find a suitable job for Liao Yuan's brother as soon as possible.
Liao Yuan and others arrived in Sanya for more than a month before slowly finding the right path under Liu Shang's guidance. However, Liu Shang's progress was much faster than theirs. Within a few days of arriving here, they had already found the right path. A shortcut to promotion to the civil service, and the process of putting it into practice was very smooth, far better than the group of people in the same hospital with him.
After Liu Shang had lunch, he took his own gear and walked out to the teahouse in the port area. His storytelling errand actually involves performing on stage during dinner time, but today he made an appointment with his boss Jiang Han to check out information at the municipal library in the afternoon, so he had to leave early.
When Jiang Han saw Liu Shang arriving, he put down what he was doing, said a few words to the store manager, and then went out to the train station with Liu Shang. The Municipal Library is located in the city of Port Victory, and taking the train is the fastest way to get there.
Liu Shang had long heard of the name of Haihan's unique means of transportation. After arriving in Sanya, he had seen trains running on the tracks from a distance, but he had never had the opportunity to ride on this magical means of transportation. However, following Jiang Han to the library today, I can take this opportunity to see the true appearance of the train up close.
As the white-smoking train slowly approached the platform, Liu Shang could feel the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly, which showed the heavy weight of this big black iron guy. Liu Shang also collected information about this train, but apart from the fact that the train was powered by coal, there was no more information. But how could burning coal alone drive such a heavy thing to fly on the track? Liu Shang couldn't imagine it with his knowledge.
He didn't believe in the ridiculous claims that Haihan people had witchcraft. Instead, the "science" that Haihan had been vigorously promoting seemed to be able to explain this magical phenomenon. I heard that there is relevant information about this train in the municipal library. If there is a chance, Liu Shang would like to check how the operating principle of this train is described in Haihan's literature.
The two checked their tickets and got on the train and sat down in the carriage. Seeing Liu Shang looking around, Jiang Han said proudly: "This train is the proud work of the leaders. One train has the capacity of a hundred carriages and the speed Especially. However, this unique thing is only found in Hainan Island and cannot be seen anywhere else.”
Liu Shangdao: "It must be that this car is expensive to build and needs to pass on the track. Road construction is also a huge trouble."
"Mr. Liu is right." Jiang Han nodded and replied: "If it were not our own territory, this land acquisition and road construction would be a huge trouble."
Building this kind of special road through the state and government will not only cost a lot of money, but also the expropriation of land along the way will involve a lot of land disputes. Only in a new country like Haihan, where almost all the land is concentrated in the hands of the government, can it be smooth Build this special road in an appropriate manner. Liu Shang asked again: "We are already on the bus, why don't we start moving?"
"Don't worry, it's probably loading goods." Jiang Han has ridden trains many times and is very familiar with the operating conditions: "Of course, this train does not load and unload goods as quickly as passengers get on and off. It is normal to be delayed for a while."
Liu Shang saw that most of the people in the car had normal expressions, and it was obvious that they had known about this situation for a long time. However, the waiting time was not long. After a while, he heard a sharp whistle from the platform. Liu Shang felt the car body tremble slightly, and then slowly moved forward. This feeling is really wonderful. Before he experienced it, it was difficult for him to imagine how a carriage that was neither human nor animal-powered could move on its own. But when he saw the scenery outside the carriage, it was slowly accelerating and moving backwards. , he dared to conclude that this situation was really happening before his eyes.
Compared with the various animal-drawn vehicles he had ridden in the past, Liu Shang felt that the train was running very smoothly. If an ox-cart and a horse-drawn carriage were to run at such a speed, they would probably be knocked apart. People who have taken the train in Sanya have all praised it. Sure enough, this thing lives up to its reputation and is indeed outstanding.
Not long after, the train arrived at Fort Victory Station. After getting off the station, Jiang Han took Liu Shang through Victory Square and walked up the Tiandu River in the northeast. The Sanya Municipal Library is located not far north of Fort Victory. The foot of the mountain in the distance.
Construction of the library began in 1629 and was completed a year later. However, as the collection of materials increases year by year, it is still being expanded slowly in stages. The entire library covers an area of more than 100 acres. For fire prevention reasons, the buildings are all made of masonry structures. The water of the Tiandu River is introduced nearby, and an artificial stream is dug in the gaps between the buildings. Under the green mountains and clear waters, several gray-white buildings are located one after another among the green trees. It can be regarded as a quite quiet area.
The Municipal Library is mainly divided into two parts, the public open area and the non-open area. The latter is basically only open to travelers and a very small number of senior naturalized cadres. The general public cannot enter this specially isolated area. The former is open to all citizens. Even those who have not obtained Haihan nationality can enter here and check the literature and materials placed in the public reading area. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to come to the library to see these documents and materials. They are basically various newspapers and books published by Haihan and can be purchased on the market.
However, in addition to browsing these public materials, Haihan citizens can also borrow some non-public books and materials from the library with their own identity certificates. For example, the information related to the principle of trains that Liu Shang is very interested in falls into this category and is inaccessible to him in his current capacity. Only through Jiang Han's borrowing can he be lucky enough to see these materials.
However, Liu Shang didn't want to make his intentions too obvious the first time he came here, and the information he really wanted to check here was not related to trains - even if he knew the principle of this thing, it would be useless if he could copy it elsewhere. I don’t know how many years it will take to succeed, and even if it is copied, how useful it will be? Could it be possible to learn from Haihan and spend huge sums of money to build a road specifically to prevent it from running away?
What Liu Shang is really interested in is Haihan's political system and military affairs, and his boss Jiang Han hopes that he can adapt Haihan's past foreign wars into more story-telling Zhanghui jokes to be performed in teahouses, so he is given the opportunity to apply for access to this book. A good reason for the data.
As for writing stories and telling stories, Liu Shangke really has no intention of making it his long-term business in Sanya. He is not a professional storyteller. He just has a good brain and a smooth tongue. In addition, he has had a relatively deep relationship with storytellers in the past. , so I chose this profession as a profession to hide my identity while lurking in Sanya. Of course, the most important point is that he knows that Haihan pays more attention to people who are good at propaganda. In the past, there have been many cases of storytellers being absorbed into Haihan's official institutions. This is probably a relatively safe shortcut to enter Haihan's political system. .
Liu Shang believes that after he becomes famous in this circle, he will soon attract the attention of Haihan's relevant departments, and invitations will most likely occur in the near future. When the carp jumps over the dragon's gate, there will be no need to make up stories in teahouses to coax the people of Liba.
Liu Shangzhu noticed that although the municipal library had no walls, the entire building complex was surrounded by artificial streams, leaving only a few passages for entry and exit, and the gates were also guarded by armed personnel. It seemed that Haihan officials had no control over this place. Safety is also taken more seriously.
You do not need to show any identification to enter and exit the public area of the library. You can enter directly from the entrance one by one, and you do not need to undergo any searches. But there was a huge sign at the entrance, which read in black letters on a white background "No flammable items are allowed to enter", as well as a list of various prohibited items. Jiang Han and Liu Shang were both empty-handed and did not have any prohibited items, so they passed immediately.
After entering the gate and walking not far, I saw a "Public Open Area" sign hanging in front of the building in front of me. Jiang Han had been to the library before and took Liu Shang in through the gate with ease.
Although Liu Shang roughly knew what kind of institution the library was before he came, he had never entered a place like this before, so after entering the room, Liu Shang's senses were immediately impacted.
The first thing Liu Shang felt was silence. Big words "quiet" could be seen everywhere on the masonry beams and pillars in the room. Although there were many people sitting or standing in the room, no one talked loudly or made other noises.
Secondly, he found that the visibility in this house was much brighter than he imagined. A large amount of square glass was used on the roof to enhance lighting, and the walls were also designed with large-area glass windows. Although the space in the house was large, the lighting was not bad at all. , those who were reading at their desks no longer used lighting tools such as candles.
Of course, there are flammable papers everywhere in this kind of place. It is undoubtedly very dangerous to use candles for lighting. Haihan people have put a lot of ingenuity into the design of the house, plus the use of glass materials regardless of cost. Only then can we have such an ideal lighting effect.
