The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Territory of Desnia.

The selection of the mayor and other officials needs to be done within Wissas.

Moreover, Xia Zuoyi has already determined the detailed registration, examination time, examination venue, etc. Those who want to participate only need to arrive at Wissas before the specified date.

For this purpose, he specially planned and arranged an examination room in Weisasli.

Then start counting the number of people who signed up, divide the exam room according to the number of people and make specific arrangements...

Judith sorted out the list and said: "Lord, there are more than 300 people in the fifteen cities including Wissas who signed up for the exam."

"More than half of them wanted to run for mayor, and the rest chose other official positions."

Xia Zuoyi nodded, remembering something and asked, "Where's Nat?"

Judith: "I told Master Nat your suggestion, and he accepted."

"Later, I did study according to what you said. When I signed up, I filled in the position of diplomat."

Xia Zuoyi hummed, and after asking a few words about Nat's situation, he turned to ask, "What happened to the test papers issued by Ming Grove and the others?"

"There is still a little bit behind to finish."

Xia Zuoyi: "Judit, tell them to hurry up and print out the test papers before the exam starts... Besides, they are not allowed to go anywhere these days, and they are forbidden to contact outsiders so as not to leak the exam questions."

"Yes, my lord."

Wiener Lauren is the young master of a down-and-out viscount family.

The Lauren family is now so poor that there is only one manor left, relying on the meager profits from farming to maintain their livelihood.

Wiener's father, Viscount Laurent, wanted him to become a knight.

However, Weiner's body is relatively thin, and he can't afford the high-intensity training of the knight at all, and compared to becoming a knight, he prefers to read quietly in the house.

In order not to disappoint my father.

Weiner tried to participate in the training of the Cavaliers, but the results were not satisfactory.

Viscount Laurent also gave up the idea of ​​making Wiener a knight in the end. After all, he only had such a son, and he couldn't let it go away.

When the news of the selection of the mayor spread, Weiner suddenly found him and said that he wanted to take the exam: "Father, I'm going to Wissas to sign up."

Viscount Lauren was surprised: "Weina, my son, are you sure?"

Weiner nodded: "Yes, I'm sure, father."

Viscount Lauren pondered for a while and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, go ahead and do it."

"However, there are registration locations in our city, so there is absolutely no need for you to go to Wissus..."

Weiner said in words: "Father, I want to stay directly after signing up in Wissas... I will come back after the exam, do you agree?"

Viscount Lauren was stunned for a while, and after a while he had no teacher to pass through: "Do you want me to accompany you in the exam?"

Anyway, he doesn't need to worry too much about things in the manor.

Weiner: "...No, don't bother father."

Viscount Lauren finally agreed.

Weiner took two servants to Wissus, and after signing up, he chose a place to live in the city.

before the exam.

Weiner wanted to go out for a walk, and ran into his next-door neighbor outside.

Seeing him walking towards the house with a blank expression and straight eyes, Weiner couldn't help shouting, "Go again, Nat, there is a wall in front of you..."

However, what he said was neither too early nor too late, just right.

When Nat raised his head subconsciously, he slammed into the wall next to the door with a bang, and then squatted down covering his head with a grinning expression on his face: "It hurts me to death."

Weiner hurried over: "Are you okay? What were you thinking just now?"

Nat frowned and sighed: "I'm thinking about the exam."

"I haven't slept well for two nights, and I am reciting questions even in my dreams. What if I fail the exam? What if I... eh?"

Weiner couldn't help covering his mouth with his hand, and said with a headache: "Don't think too much."

The two were neighbors and became friends after getting acquainted.

Seeing him still frowning.

Weiner thought for a while, and squatted down next to Nat in the same posture: "I'm afraid too."

"What are you afraid of?" Nat wondered.

Weiner: "I'm afraid I won't take the exam at all, and I won't know anything at all."

"........."

Heartbreaking words!

Weiner: "It's better to think of it this way-you have to do well in the exam, or I'm sorry for losing so much hair every day."

"........."

Weiner would say more.

Nat couldn't bear it for a moment and stopped him by covering his chest: "Enough, please shut up."

Your consolation is really heart-wrenching and stabbing!

Weiner didn't know why, and then stopped talking.

Finally came the day of the exam.

Many people poured into Wesasli.

However, people who have nothing to do with the exam are not allowed to enter the area around the exam room, and soldiers guard the exam site under martial law, and the atmosphere instantly becomes solemn and tense.

Even people living in Wissus couldn't help but come to watch the fun.

"The lord really attaches great importance to this exam. You have to search one by one even when you go in. I heard that you are not allowed to bring anything. The paper and pens used for the exam are distributed..."

"After all, it is to select the manager of a city. It seems that there are nobles participating. If I can read and write, I will definitely participate in it. Maybe I can..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by others making fun of him.

"Even if you can read and write, there are more than 300 people who take the test, but only a few dozen people can be selected. The gap is too big, and there is no hope."

"And in the end, you have to stand the test of the lord, oh no, it's an interview, you have to practice your courage first."

…………

Nat and Weiner couldn't hear how people outside talked.

However, they could see that a person in front of the queue had a lot of things found on his body by the soldiers. After checking, they found that these things were indeed tools for cheating.

The man was immediately grabbed by the arms by the other two soldiers and dragged out without hesitation.

Grove was appointed as the chief examiner by Xia Zuoyi.

He said to the reference staff who were silent because of this accident: "Once you are found to be cheating, you will be disqualified from the exam. If it is serious, you will never be hired."

"Now take out all the illegal things on your body and you can still go in for the exam, or those who think they can't pass the exam can also leave immediately before entering the exam room."

Nat looked back.

He found that quite a few people had withdrawn from the queue, and some people took out their belongings and threw them away...

After entering the examination room, the reference personnel are assigned to different rooms.

The tables where everyone sits are almost one meter apart. Soldiers often come to patrol outside the door, and there are two guards in the room...and the test papers are sealed in advance.

Before the exam, three hourglasses were placed on the front table...

Nat swallowed involuntarily, it was too strict for being frightened by this battle.

Not only that.

There was a small problem in the middle of the test.

Someone actually copied some of the contents of the book into the inside of his clothes and secretly watched it while doing the questions. However, the invigilator found out that he was reading it, and he was immediately dragged out by soldiers covering his mouth.

After leaving the examination room, Nat relaxed.

The examination to select the mayor and other officials lasted for three days.

After all the exams were over, Weiner found him and said, "It's time for me to leave too."

All the reference personnel have left their respective cities and detailed addresses on the test paper, and the results will come out after half a month. At that time, soldiers will come to notify those who have passed the written test.

Weiner has been away from home for too long, so he has to go back and wait for news.

Nat nodded to bid him farewell.

All the papers were sent to the castle.

Xia Zuoyi asked the priests to mark the papers in the same room.

He set a standard for passing grades, and the pastors would sort the test papers according to the grades, sort them out, and hand them over to him for review.

Five days passed.

The number of people who have reached the pass line is counted.

——More than 300 people took the exam, but only less than 100 people passed the written exam.

Such a ratio is not enough to look at the total number of people in fifteen cities.

But it's normal.

The cultural level of this era is inherently backward, limited by the environment and various conditions, paper, printing, and book dissemination are one of them.

The most important thing is that on the Western Continent, culture is not a necessity.

The nobles are greedy for enjoyment, and the civilians and slaves have almost no chance to learn any knowledge. After all, culture cannot help them fill their stomachs.

Xia Zuoyi thought, not only in Wissus and Fort Comoi, but after the mayors of each city are elected, construction should be fully implemented and some new regulations formulated.

For example, school arrangements, health issues in the city and so on.

…………

After confirming the candidates who passed the written test, Xia Zuoyi sent the soldiers to inform them.

Xia Zuoyi took the time to recruit Fernandi again, and asked him how is Gaina doing now?

The royal city of Gaina was in chaos after the death of the old king and the eldest prince. Bruno Green must take the opportunity to plan something.

This is the best time for them to fish in troubled waters to sabotage Bruno's plans and create trouble to hinder his attempts.

Fernandi is familiar with Guena, and he has been in charge of everything since then.

Xia Zuoyi: "Has Gaina's heir to the throne been chosen?"

When the old king of Gainar died, the princes were the first in line of succession.

However, his sons from the eldest prince to the third prince also passed away, and the heirs who could ascend to the throne continued to the second place, that is, the grandsons of the old king including Bruno Green.

Fernandi said: "It was supposed to be the eldest son of the eldest prince who would inherit the throne, but Bruno Green has attracted many people in the royal city, and there are rumors..."

"What's the news?" Xia Zuoyi was puzzled.

Fernandi: "It is reported in the royal city of Gaina...the eldest son of the eldest prince likes men."

"This is a serious crime in the Holy See. It is of bad moral character and needs to be sanctioned."

Xia Zuoyi was stunned for a moment when she heard the words.

He almost forgot that in the Western Continent, men would be cast aside by the world when they were together with men.

Homosexuality is disrespect to the Creator God, and it is also a felony. Once discovered, it will be severely punished.

For example, the fate of the original owner in the book-in the end, he was convicted of cockroaches and died painfully by hanging.

Of course, each class depends on the situation. It is one thing to be discovered, and another thing not to be discovered.

The eldest son of Prince Gana... It doesn't matter whether he likes men or not.

As one of the heirs to the throne, once he has this stain on his body, he will always be opposed by some people.

After all, the old king is not the only grandson.

What's more, if Bruno Green does it right.

He only needs to attract the priests of the Holy See to investigate the eldest son of the eldest prince, and then secretly buy it... Then, it will be difficult for the eldest son to inherit the throne.

Xia Zuoyi nodded: "No wonder no one has ascended to the throne until now."

A rumor that he likes a man and doesn't know the truth can become a hurdle that the eldest son can't get over...

It seems that it is better for him to focus on his career in the future.

But since rumors can come out, the eldest son must have "very close" contacts with other men, otherwise Bruno Green would not make a fuss about such things.

Xia Zuoyi secretly reminded herself that he would definitely be a well-behaved "straight man" in the future and try his best to avoid the line of fate.

Career first!

Fernandi talked about other things about Gina, and said: "There was a group of people who assassinated the eldest son of the eldest prince when he was out, and our people helped him secretly... The eldest son probably realized that it was Who wants to kill him."

Xia Zuoyi: "Let our people stay in Gaina, and Bruno Green's plan cannot be allowed to succeed."

"Yes, my lord."

"In addition, I……"

When Xia Zuoyi was about to say something, there was a sudden movement in the system interface, and a cute and cute match figure suddenly popped up from the universe mailbox, shaking his hand to say hello.

[Host host, 098 is back, and brought you a gift. 】

Xia Zuoyi was pleasantly surprised.

He controlled the expression on his face, and asked in his heart: "You came back so quickly this time, what gift is it?"

098: [It is a bird egg of Costin. 】

Xia Zuoyi: "Costin?"

In his previous life, he was a documentary video director who recorded wild survival. He happened to record a documentary about eagles. For this reason, he visited many places and asked local eagle breeders.

Many species of eagles are covered and included in the documentary.

The most profound in his memory is Costin - known as the "God of Eagles".

According to legend, only one "Citongqing" comes out of [-] condors.

There have been many legends in history, but they are extremely rare in modern times.

Xia Zuoyi asked: "Did you go to modern times?"

098 shook Matchstick's little head: [098 traveled to the world where the secondary system is located, and that world is more mysterious and dangerous. 】

[This sea dongqing has a little bit of condor blood, can understand human speech, has a long lifespan, and will be huge in size. 】

[But don't worry about the host, it only has the ability of an ordinary eagle, but it flies faster and has sharper claws. 】

Xia Zuoyi: "...the gifts you gave me are not simple, thank you, 098."

【No thanks, show your heart to the host. 】

Seeing that Xia Zuoyi was starting to be dazed, Fernandi couldn't help asking, "Lord, what do you want to say?"

Xia Zuoyi raised her head: "I don't know how the castle next to Paal Lake is going. I want to go there and have a look, Fernandi."

Fernandi's expression was gentle: "I'll make arrangements right away, and I'll take you there tomorrow?"

"Well, good." Xia Zuoyi nodded with big caramel-colored eyes.
