As Maximus said, he was also sighing in his heart: Even a small traffic problem has been considered so thoughtfully, it can be seen that the Dionia officials have been very thorough and meticulous in the governance of the city, no wonder A city of such a huge scale can be managed in an orderly manner, which fully reflects the power and prosperity of the Kingdom of Dionian, and the former Roman city cannot be compared with it.

This makes Maximus's desire to become a Dionian citizen even more urgent.

He took his family to speed up, walked a few blocks, and asked a few passers-by, finally found the household registration office.

The household registration office is located on the same street with urban public departments such as inspection offices, tax offices, construction fire stations, urban courts, etc. However, compared with other department buildings, the area of ​​the household registration office is obviously much larger. There are obviously more people working in household registration than in other departments.

And today, it is estimated that the hall inside the house has been filled with people, and there are still many people crowded outside the door.

So, Malsim asked his wife to wait with the child, and drove over by himself.

After approaching and hearing the heated discussion, Massims realized that everyone gathered here because yesterday all the household registration offices in Turiyi City posted an announcement: Temporarily stop applying for free citizens When will the handling of Dionian citizens resume waiting for notification.

Maxims came in a hurry, but was suddenly thrown with a jar of cold water, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

The same is true for other freedmen who want to come. They hovered at the door and refused to leave. While talking to each other and venting their dissatisfaction, they were lucky enough to see if there was a turn for the better.

But no one dared to make a big noise, or even cause a riot, not only because of a row of heavily armed inspectors standing at the door, but also because they were afraid that they would leave the case and affect their success in becoming a full citizen in the future.

Maxims huddled in the crowd, listening to them speculate on the reason for the suspension of the application.

Be aware that this is not the first time. Before the Western Mediterranean War, the Kingdom of Dionian had implemented this measure because there was not much land left, so a few people wondered if this was the reason.

But more people refuted this, because after the Western Mediterranean War, the Kingdom of Dionian acquired a large amount of land, and there are still a lot of land left unused, and it is urgent for someone to develop it.

Someone came up with a possible reason, and someone immediately refuted it, leading to endless disputes at the door of the household registration office.

But someone put forward an idea, but no one dared to refute it: He doubted whether Hades had issued an oracle to King Davos, so what happened today would happen.

This bizarre idea actually got a response from some people, who proposed to go to the Temple of Hades to pray, asking this great **** to take his life back.

Mathims listened for a while, and felt that they were all guesses without evidence, and it is also true to think about it: these free citizens who have applied are all newcomers and have no foundation in the kingdom. How can they get some reliable inside information.

Maxims' mood gradually calmed down, and he looked back at his wife and children who were looking forward to the corner: Since the application is not available for a while, let's find a place to settle down first.

Maximus squeezed to the door of the household registration office, and the inspector guarding the door immediately asked him what he wanted to do.

"Rent a house." Maximus replied.

The inspector looked at him up and down and let him in.

Maxims has long inquired clearly from the hired workers in the slave camp: If you want to rent a house, you don't need to go to the city of Turiyi to inquire from house to house, because most of the rental information is concentrated in the household registration offices in each city.

Maximus walked into the household registration office, and there was a spacious hall in front of him. There were already many people queuing in front of various counters to do business.

Of course, the household registration office is not only for free citizens to become citizens, it also has many other tasks, such as: registering the criminal records of the people of the kingdom, which is mainly provided by the nearby inspection offices and courts every day;

Registration of the people’s meritorious service in the kingdom, large-scale meritorious awards such as wars, large-scale public projects...Of course it is provided by the department, but some individuals need to bring the department’s certificate to register for their merits. , Once the fraud is detected, the punishment will be quite severe;

There is also the registration of the household registration changes of the people in the kingdom. People in the kingdom from one town to another town, or from one city to another city to settle down, they need to register at the new city’s household registration office. The household registration information will be transferred later, but this procedure is quite complicated, takes a long time, and it is easy to lose some materials and cause losses, so in general, the residents of the kingdom will not easily change their household registration. Of course, except for the free citizens who have not applied for citizenship, they are very mobile, but they must also move to a place to register. This is for ease of management. Otherwise, once the inspection team finds that they are not registered, they are likely to be expelled...

Anyone living in the kingdom has the most contact with the public sector is the household registration office, and the household registration office is also the most onerous in various departments. Small towns are better, but the population like Turiyi reaches as high as hundreds of thousands. In this huge city, the personnel of each household registration office are busy every day, so the personnel under its jurisdiction is also the largest in the kingdom department.

The reason why each household registration office has a large area is because more than half of its space is used to store resident information.

The unique household registration system of the Kingdom of Dioria has caused two important problems: First, it requires a large number of people who can write records. This may be a big problem for other city-states, but Dioria promotes School education has been nearly 20 years, and the talents trained are more than enough to meet the needs. Second, a huge amount of writing materials are needed. Since Egypt and Dionia are allies, most of the papyrus produced in Egypt is sold to Dioni. The Kingdom of Asia, and the price is increasing year by year... This not only makes the household registration department a little overwhelmed, even the Ministry of Finance continues to complain because not only the household registration department consumes a lot of papyrus, such as the Ministry of Commerce, hospitals, schools...including the Ministry of Finance He is also a big consumer, and the entire Kingdom of Dionian is a country built on data and information collection, recording, and statistics.

This kind of dilemma finally made Davers have to put aside his inner entanglement and determined to create convenient and practical paper. He told his wife Kristia about some of the procedures in the village paper workshop he had learned when he was a village official in his previous life. She arranged for her staff to be responsible for the development. Now there has been some progress.

The walls around the hall of the household registration office are all painted with black paint, which makes people feel depressed at first glance. But this is definitely not because the household registration wants to please Hades and create a kind of **** environment, but because they can write the information they want to publish with a white pen on the black wall, such as "Suspend Freedom Application" The notice is written on the front wall in very large characters and very eye-catching, and there are information such as that a certain meritorious service of a certain citizen has been confirmed... and so on.

These published information are written neatly and clearly on each wall. They are generally kept for two or three days. After people who have registered before have read the information, they don’t need to queue up for inquiries and do things The personnel saved a lot of time for answering.

Of course, some information is published here, so that other people who know the situation can raise objections after reading it, so that it can be traced.

Maximus looked up at the wall like everyone else.

After a while, he felt sore in his neck, but he hadn't seen the renting information yet, so he had to consult with the inspector at the door, only to learn that the small house next to the hall was where the rented house was.

After he thanked him, he quickly walked over.

Compared with the liveliness of the lobby, it is much quieter here, except for a clerical staff sitting behind the wooden counter, no one else.

When Maximus came in, the clerk asked enthusiastically: "Is here to rent a house?"

Maximus nodded.

"Already applied for citizenship, or did not apply? Or are you already a preliminary citizen?"

"I was preparing to apply, but it has stopped now."

The clerk listened, not only did not become indifferent, but became more enthusiastic. He pointed to the opposite wall and introduced: "You have not obtained the application and cannot enjoy the rental house provided by the kingdom. You can only rent a private house. Private rental information is written on the opposite wall, you choose by yourself."

Since the establishment of Dionia, Turri has developed rapidly, its population has expanded rapidly, and the rental market has always been very hot, but private individuals have always enjoyed this dividend. Later, the Minister of Commerce Mariji made a suggestion: There are many vacant land in the inner and outer urban areas of the kingdom, including Turiyi, when it was originally planned. Instead of leaving it empty, it is better to build a large number of temporary housing on these vacant land. Renting out to free citizens and prospective citizens who have obtained applications at a relatively low market price is not only a little benefit for them who have no land for the time being, but also a little more income for the kingdom’s treasury.

Because the land is readily available, some of the free labor is (Wang Guo Gong ** Li), and the kingdom has abundant quarries and endless volcanic ash accumulated by two volcanoes. It doesn’t cost much to build a large number of public rental houses, so this The proposal was adopted by Daves and was quickly implemented by the Construction Department.

Considering that people who need to rent houses are mainly outsiders, free citizens, and prospective citizens, the place they go most often is the household registration office. Therefore, the household registration department is responsible for the public rental housing, which can be regarded as Daves giving this A little compensation for the department with a lot of affairs (the household registration department transfers most of the rental income to the national treasury, and a small part is reserved for its own use, so as to hire more temporary staff when the manpower is insufficient).

Although the kingdom has left some avenues for private rental housing, the emergence of public rental housing still has a great impact on private rental housing. In the past, the shortcomings of private rental housing such as high prices, poor facilities, and inadequate services have become more prominent. As a result, many outsiders would rather live in hotels in towns and cities, and apply for public rental housing immediately after the citizen's application is approved. Even though private rental housing has improved since then, the rental situation is still not optimistic.
