Chapter 157: New Deal 6
What the future of Sunset City is, no one knows, but it can be changed, and change is not only about institutional change, but also about people's hearts, when everyone's heart is changed and understands the superiority after change, civilization will move towards the trajectory of prosperity.
At that time, it was a highly prosperous society, there was no poverty, no hunger, and the people had a considerable level of literacy, each performing his own duties, and there was no strife.
And the kingdom that Mars wants is such a kingdom, where everyone is a part, and everyone is free to fight for their dreams, without shackles and suffocating constraints.
The essay questions were all graded by Frank, so the selection of these papers that fit Mars's thinking was also due to Frank's education.
After all, education in the Holy City is inherited from the education system of the highly developed civilization of Laps, and under certain conditions, freedom and equality are a constant theme.
Mars quickly made a plan, and as head of the cabinet, he had the power to draft it.
In the program, the top 100 candidates enter the interview stage, and those who are more than 60 can freely choose to enter Sunset College for further study, with a tuition fee of ten gold dollars a year, and the poor can take out a loan from Sunset Bank.
So, immediately afterwards, Mars submitted to the cabinet a draft for the establishment of the Sunset Academy, a higher education institution, and a draft for the establishment of the Sunset Bank.
Mars didn't know if it was too low to pass only a hundred, but he didn't want to be too radical either, and everything was not done quickly, especially since reform was not something that could be done overnight.
The interview was conducted by Mars himself, with the participation of cabinet ministers at will, and each candidate had 15 minutes to interview, and it took about two days to complete all the interviews.
In the past two days, their own officials have counted the number of people who want to enter Sunset College for further study, as well as the number of people who need loans, and the matter of Sunset Bank has been handed over to Chancellor of the Exchequer Edgar, and he only looks at the results.
The first interviewer was a slender white-haired young man, a rare hair color, but to the surprise of Mars and several ministers, the young man was handsome, this could not be a woman!
The young man was dressed in aristocratic attire, and his coat of arms showed that he was from the northern province of Orlandol, and the iceberg and sword were the crest of the noble Orlan, a nobleman loyal to the kingdom and the ruler of the province of Orlandor.
The young man immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Alice Oran to see Your Majesty!"
Said to be a visit, but the young man's head was raised and he looked at Mars, the young new king, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if to say, "I'm a girl, see what you do?"
Mars got up and said flatly: "The Orlan family has been stationed in the north for generations and is loyal to the kingdom, I am very relieved, please get up!"
Alice said enthusiastically, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He then got up, but his eyes were fixed on Mars, as if he wanted to find a flaw in Mars's eyes, or to make Mars criticize himself.
However, this was destined to disappoint Alice, and Mars pointed to the chair in the middle and said, "Please sit down first!"
"Oh!" Alice sat down with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but her heart was full of curiosity, and the way she talked was novel.
Looking at Alice, whose legs were naturally close together, Mars laughed in his heart, and after sitting down, he said, "Answer me a question first, and then we will have a formal interview, is your gender male or female?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, she still knew the word "gender", but she didn't feel anything wrong, because there was no rule in the selection of new officials that women could not take the exam.
Therefore, Alice said confidently: "Naturally, it is a woman, Your Majesty, have you ever seen such a beautiful boy?"
"Ahem, ahem!"
The Minister of Education and Agriculture, Goss, blushed and said, "Miss Alice, pay attention to the image!"
Mars thought that this Miss Alice was really interesting, not to mention that she was handsome, and because she was dressed as a man, she had a sense of heroism, and she was a very capable woman at first glance.
He suddenly had an idea, and of course this idea was deliberately negligent in drafting the selection examination for new officials, and Mars just wanted to see if there would be any women to take the exam, and this time it seemed that he would gain something.
Mars looked serious and said, "Miss Alice, since you entered the interview with the first place, then please take it seriously, this will determine whether you are hired in the end, and whether you are qualified to become the ruler of the kingdom." ”
As soon as she heard Mars's words, Alice's expression suddenly tightened, she sat up, and no longer looked at Mars with that provocative gaze, she showed a smile and said, "Your Excellency, Alice is ready!"
Mars smiled slightly, this is like words, although he doesn't mind having a girl provoke him, but this is a serious occasion, and it is a really serious place, the interviewer is likely to enter the cabinet in the future and become the ruler of the kingdom, and he can't be teased and frolicked like a family.
"First question, why did you take the new officer exam?" asked Mars.
Ten minutes ago, Alice had already got the interview questions, which was to give her a preparation.
Of course, every interviewer will get the interview questions ten minutes before the interview.
Alice did not hesitate, and immediately said: "For thousands of years, women can be kings and generals, so why can't they be officials? When I saw that the exam did not require men or women, I thought that women could also take the exam, and I wanted to be the first female officer in a thousand years!"
The faces of the other ministers suddenly became excited, Mars coughed lightly, and several ministers immediately saw Mars's smiling face, and they were stunned, if it was placed in the past, Alice's words would be a big rebellion, and they would be reformed through labor, but the new king carried out reforms, and these old ministers could only admonish when there was a big mistake.
"Very well, I look forward to your becoming the head of the cabinet in the future!" Mars said with a smile, very satisfied.
As soon as she heard this, Alice immediately understood, her heart was excited, it seemed that this time she had made the right bet, she wanted to cheer, but she held back, and in front of her sat the king of this kingdom, her lord.
Cabinet Minister Goss was shocked, his old face was very serious, and he immediately asked, "Next question, Miss Alice, what do you think of the new policy that Your Majesty is currently promoting?"
“......”
Alice's interview was a success, but what Mars didn't expect was that there were people with such advanced ideas in this human kingdom, and what was even more unexpected was that this person was still a twenty-five-year-old woman, a single nobleman.
