Chapter 126 Registration Office
ps: It's a holiday today, I'm so happy, ask for tickets, ask for collections!
Walking into the inn, what imprinted in front of the three of Suvel was not a beautiful waiter, nor was it a high-end and luxurious decoration.
None of that, just a long line, a queue of waiting.
Most of the team were young people, like a few of them, and they all looked polite, and they knew that these were the opponents they were about to face.
The three of them had no choice but to line up silently in the back.
Fortunately, the speed was fast, and the three of them waited for five minutes before it was their turn.
"Sir, how many of you are there?" An ordinary-looking girl sat at the counter and asked the three of them softly.
Although there were still some sawdust on the counter, which affected the mood of Suvier and the others, they still had politeness.
"Miss, three, three rooms!" Wilson, who had better verbal skills among the three, spoke up.
"Yes, sir, how long do you need to stay?"
"Let's stay for a month! How much do we need each? ”
Wilson thought about it for a while, and finally decided to book it for a month, and then renew the lease when it expired.
"Yes sir, according to the standard of five pence a day, it is six shillings plus six pence a month, and since you are three people and have been renting for a long time, you will only need six shillings per person!"
The receptionist at the counter smiled pleasantly and whispered the accounts for the three of them.
The three of them discussed for a while, although they found the price a little unacceptable, but this is in London, and I am afraid that the general price is the same.
The three of them reluctantly paid six shillings, and their faces all looked painful, while the smile on the face of the counter receptionist became brighter and brighter.
You see, in an age when the middle class of society such as the farmer and the yomannon earned only fifty or sixty pounds a year, six shillings could be said to be the surplus of the average family in a year.
With the key, led by the male waiter on the side, he came to the room where the three of them belonged.
"Sir, these three are your rooms, please keep the key!"
Pointing to the three adjacent rooms, the waiter finished speaking and left automatically.
"That's it! See you tomorrow, brothers! Sowel shrugged his shoulders at Kreroux and Wilson, tilting his head.
"See you tomorrow, Suvir!" "Me too!" Wilson and Kreroux nodded in succession.
Opening the wooden door, a wooden bed appeared in Suvier's eyes, plus a wooden table, and a large wooden cabinet, and that was all the equipment in this room.
Taking out a linen quilt and a wooden pillow from the wooden cabinet, Suvier threw the package in his hand directly into the wooden cabinet, and then lay down on the bed.
The next day, Suvir got up and rinsed his mouth, woke up the other two who were still sleeping, and the three of them went straight to the hall to start breakfast.
Eating bread, the three of them chatted about some of the scenery and legends they saw on the road.
"I'm telling you, aren't we going to pass the exam this time?"
"The content of this exam is written by His Majesty the King himself!"
On the table next to him, four young people in their twenties began to chat while eating.
At this time, England did not eat as rigorously as later generations, but chatted while eating like the Chinese, which was also a way for them to promote relations.
One of them, one of the more arrogant-looking guys, said loudly, as if he was very proud to know about it.
"Cut, Bud, when we went to sign up yesterday, wasn't that what was posted on the notice board? You think we're illiterate! ”
Sitting on the sidelines, one of the quick-witted-looking guys said mercilessly in his mouth, without giving him the slightest face.
"Hahaha! Wasn't I afraid the two of them wouldn't see it! Now that everyone knows, I won't talk about it! ”
The young man named Bard touched his head and smiled, easing his embarrassment.
And the listener was intentional, but the Suville couple on the side were very excited when they heard it, and they felt that their return was worth it.
"Hey! Souville, Kreroux, do you hear me clearly? This time, His Majesty the King personally proposed! His Majesty the King attaches great importance to this recruitment examination! ”
Wilson said happily, a feeling of honor welling up in his chest.
"Hey, you have to figure it out, it looks like you have to register for this exam!"
Sowell held back the excitement in his heart and interrupted Wilson, who was full of excitement.
"Yes! We don't think we have signed up yet! ”
Kleru, who was on the sidelines, shouted in shock.
"Sowel, Wilson, let's hurry up and sign up, or it'll be too late!"
Kreru picked up the bread in front of him and looked like he was in an emergency.
"Kreru, don't be in a hurry at this time, let's finish eating and then leave!"
Suvir pulled the anxious Kleru and said.
"Suvier, let's eat while walking, go early and come back early!"
Seeing this, Wilson shook his head, and immediately persuaded Suvier.
Sowel had no choice but to compromise and follow the two of them as they walked.
At this time, our Majesty the King of England is inspecting the cleaning results of the City of London.
"Your Majesty, you see, it used to be a garbage heap here, but now it's as clean as a mirror, and there are no more flies!"
Mayor William pointed to the corner of the street ahead and said to Edward on the side.
Edward followed his fingers and saw that the alley that had been covered with feces and urine was now washed away, revealing the lowest stone slabs.
The weather-beaten stone slabs were unevenly arranged, some shattered, some raised, and some of the stone slabs were covered with small grasses and weeds.
In short, the original disgusting dung gathering place finally revealed its true face at this time.
"Your Majesty, in order to prevent people from defecating everywhere, I have not only built toilets around some corners!"
"Moreover, I also set up a duty system, ordering the personnel of the city management department to patrol normally, and every time we catch someone, we will let him disturb the toilet for a day!"
Mayor William said respectfully in front of Edward, but with a smug look on his face.
When Edward heard this, he immediately looked at the middle-aged men in obvious uniforms who were staggering around with swords on their shoulders and glancing at them on the street.
Although the men looked like hooligans, Edward could only accept it.
"My Excellency the Mayor, train these people in the future, don't always look at them with your eyes, just like hooligans, and damage the image of the city government!"
Edward casually offered his opinion, but there was still an approving look on his face.
"Mr. Mayor, your arrangement is quite good at the moment, this is a good idea!"
With that, the two came to the registration point.
The registration site is located in London's West Suburbs, which is the same as the test location.
It was originally the ruins of a church that caught fire, and then our Mayor William used it as a test place for these young people who came to take the exams.
"Your Majesty, you see, this was originally a church, but now it has been razed, and I have sent people to build these wooden sheds!"
Edward followed Mayor William's finger and stepped out of the carriage, looking at the grassy area in front of him.
There are still a few remnants of the burned church on the flat ground, and the winged angel can be vaguely seen on the wall, and there is a piece of the remains of God's old man who has been missing his arm all along.
On top of the wreckage, small wooden compartments were erected, surrounded by walls on three sides, and the exit was covered by a linen.
The compartment is about six feet high and five feet wide, with an unobstructed view.
Inside the compartment was a table and a chair, though there was also a branch on the table and chair, as well as a few green leaves.
The cubicles were arranged in rows, each three feet apart, in a regular pattern.
Edward visually inspected that there were about a thousand of these cubicles, and they were neatly there, and it was a sight to behold.
Although Mayor William did this to save money, it was very similar to the ancient Chinese imperial examination hall.
"My Mr. Mayor, you are also your masterpiece!"
Edward glanced at Mayor William, who was a little embarrassed to see him, and said with a smile.
"Yes, my majesty, you know that the city government really doesn't have much money!"
William did not hesitate to memorize the pot, but instead he poured bitter water in front of Edward.
"Okay, I know about your poverty, but I'll spare you this time, and I'll build them into a stone brick style next time!"
"There are quite a few fires in London!"
Edward reminded casually, and then looked at the bustling registration office not far away.
For this, William is very concerned about this, and the fire in London is not something that can be said in one sentence.
In fact, since London's buildings and houses are made of wood, the number of fires that occur each year is beyond count, and Londoners have turned a blind eye.
Plague and fire are problems that Londoners often face.
The registration point is located in the upper left corner of the test site, the back entrance of the original church, about half a mile away from Edward's location at this time.
Edward was out in his regular clothes at this time, and so was Mayor William behind him, so no one bothered.
Just as he was about to move his legs, a pair of hands tapped Edward's shoulder.
"Hey, sir, do you know where the registration office is?"
Edward was stunned for a moment when he was patted on the shoulder, since he came to England until now, no one has patted him on the shoulder except Elizabeth.
Edward used his eyes to stop the guards who were about to come not far away, and also stopped Mayor William on the side.
"Go ahead, go by yourselves!" Edward turned around and said indifferently, his eyes very flat.
"Yes, sir, thank you!" Suwell, who was on the side, saw that something was wrong at this time, and pulled Wilson, who was still about to talk, and left.
"Your Majesty......" Mayor William hurriedly walked over and asked softly.
"Nothing! Go on! ”[.]
