May 19th, the forty-third year of Xuanping, was a very ordinary day for most people. Most people in Ceuta were working while looking forward to their rest day tomorrow.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the 10th, 20th and last day of each month are statutory holidays. After being busy for a period of time, many people will always be absent-minded on the day before the holiday, thinking about their rest tomorrow.
What to do.
But for employees in European hotels, days like the 19th are relatively busy days.
Because tomorrow is a rest day, and on rest days, their hotels are usually busier. Many guests will choose to go to the hotel for a vacation on rest days. Especially the beach that the European Hotel just developed last year is very popular with tourists.
Due to our welcome, many tourists choose to stay here on their days off to enjoy the sunshine on the beach.
At the same time, many activities are also held on rest days, and the Hotel Europe, as the largest and most luxurious hotel in Ceuta and even in the entire Africa and Europe, has always hosted various activities.
The high-end ones include official meetings, and the ordinary ones include corporate meetings and even ordinary people's gatherings, etc.
Therefore, George and the others will become even busier when there are no rest days, especially in the summer.
After inspecting the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, George was about to return upstairs to continue his inspection, but at this time, a young man came in from the side door. He walked up to George in small steps and lowered his voice: "Manager
, there is your letter!”
After finishing speaking, he also emphasized: "It is an official letter and needs to be signed by me!"
Official letter?
After George thought for a moment, he nodded slightly: "Well, I'll be there right away!"
Immediately, George entered the side door on the first floor, passed through a small corridor and then went down the stairs. As soon as he got off the stairs, he could immediately feel the busy atmosphere here.
The space on the first floor is very large. It is the working place of the kitchen and other staff, and there are many people coming and going.
After walking along the corridor for a while, George came to a side hall. This side hall was not big, but it was decent.
At this time, George also saw the postman waiting for him and confirmed his identity. The young postman from Tang Dynasty smiled and said: "If nothing else, I need to congratulate you!"
As he spoke, he took out an envelope of mail from his baggage.
Just looking at the packaging of this envelope, George's heart beat violently. It was the envelope he had wanted to see in his dreams countless times at night.
That's the official envelope from the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Household Affairs!
Although he had never received one before, he had seen with his own eyes that another friend in Ceuta who was lucky enough to be naturalized received a notification of successful naturalization from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The notification of successful naturalization was contained in such an official envelope from the local Ministry of Household Affairs.
There are many temporary residents who apply for naturalization every year, but only a very small number of them can be successfully naturalized. For those who are unsuccessful, the Ministry of Household Affairs will naturally not notify them one by one. They often just publish a successful naturalization report in a newspaper affiliated to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Just a list.
This means that unsuccessful candidates will not receive an official letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
An ordinary temporary resident, at most, can only deal with the government of overseas territories, but it is absolutely impossible to deal with the local government, because according to the relevant temporary resident laws, temporary residents are only allowed to live in some overseas territories with permission.
At the same time, these temporary residents are also unable to travel freely between overseas territories. They need an official pass to travel from one overseas territory to another.
Most of the temporary residents would actually never have the opportunity to go to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, let alone deal with the local government, especially the household department in the capital.
The only contact the temporary residents have with the Datang Local Household Department is the naturalization application. To be more strict, the review should be more stringent. The contact should only be made after the naturalization application is approved.
If a temporary resident receives an official letter from the Tang Dynasty's local Ministry of Household Affairs, there is only one possibility, and that is successful naturalization. The local Ministry of Household Affairs will send him a notification of successful naturalization and guide him to go to the local government office to apply.
Follow-up related procedures.
Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand why the postman said congratulations in advance, and why George himself was so excited after seeing the envelope.
Seeing the excited George, the postman just said congratulations, then asked him to sign his name, then turned around and went out, got on his horse and left.
In fact, before the postman left, as soon as he turned around, George could not wait to open the envelope.
However, no matter how excited he was, and even his fingers began to tremble, the excellent quality he had developed over the years still allowed him to calm down.
Take a deep breath while opening the envelope.
After opening the envelope and taking out the letter inside, before he could speak, the temporary resident subordinate next to him, who was also Hispanic, already shouted with envy in his voice: "It's a notice, a naturalization notice!
"
This shout attracted the surrounding people, most of whom were temporary residents like them, but there were also a few people from the Tang Dynasty.
Ignoring the exclamations of others, George read the notice by himself.
Yes, this is indeed a naturalization notice sent by the local Ministry of Household Affairs!
After reading it over and over again, I wanted to break every one of them apart and mash them up to read them!
As I watched this, tears fell from the corners of my eyes unknowingly!
Years of hard work finally paid off at this moment.
He, George, was born in a slum in Cadiz. Hungry was his only memory of his youth. Later he became a sailor, and it was also difficult for him to have enough to eat. It was not until the Tang Dynasty came to Cadiz that his life changed.
It was a change that took place and we saw hope.
He joined the construction team of the Tang Dynasty people. While working diligently, and because he knew multiple languages, he finally gained the attention of the Tang people in the construction team, who helped him get a temporary resident status.
This is when the Tang Dynasty people first came to Europe. There were not many Tang Dynasty people in Cadiz. Many affairs needed to be handled by temporary residents. At that time, people did not realize the value of temporary resident status. On weekdays,
There are simply no people here applying to become temporary residents.
By the time other people knew about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and were competing to become temporary residents, he had already saved enough money to leave the construction team and started attending night school to obtain a primary school diploma.
Finally, he was successfully recruited as a consultant at the European Hotel. After years of hard work and several promotions, he finally became one of the more than ten managers in the European Hotel.
Now, he has been successfully naturalized and has become a real Tang Dynasty citizen!
Who would have thought that George, a child born in a slum in Cadiz, would eventually become a manager of a European hotel, a respectable gentleman, and even successfully naturalized in the Tang Dynasty?
How many people have squeezed their heads to get the naturalization notice they have dreamed of, but now he has it in his hand!
At this moment, George's mood couldn't even be described as happy and excited.
He wanted to shout, from now on, I am a Tang Dynasty person, a real Tang Dynasty person!
But he was so excited that he couldn't even speak or even cry at this moment. He could only let the tears keep falling!
