After meeting with these people, Edward left with his little maid Lucy, and asked Mayor William to arrange for them.

Mayor William is also wearing a magnificent outfit today, and the whole person looks majestic.

Touching his beard, Mayor William looked at the large number of young people in front of him, couldn't help but puff up his chest, and raised his head and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the best of the best, and when you get here, I will tell you about your future arrangements."

As soon as Mayor William's words fell, everyone's interest was aroused, and the reserved young people below couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.

Su Wei and the others were no exception, and the small movements under their hands all stopped, listening carefully.

"Among you, the top ten people in the examination will directly enter the Privy Council and temporarily become secretaries, and the specific performance depends on you!"

"The rest of you will all go to the ninth hall of the city government for half a year for internship, we will keep an eye on you, and your performance will determine your specific future arrangements!"

"So, don't think that you can sit back and relax if you are admitted, only after passing the internship period can you really become an official!"

At the end of speaking, Mayor William's eyes widened, and he looked at the many admitted candidates with a scrutinizing gaze, and the dazzling eyes made them lower their heads one after another.

"Well, today you have been admitted, this is a happy day!"

At the end, Mayor William smiled, the exact opposite of the previous expression, an amiable appearance.

"So, we've prepared a banquet for you, so you're welcome, drink as much as you want! His Majesty the King has brought ten barrels of fiery wine! ”

As if infected by Mayor William's smile, the tense atmosphere in the hall dispersed, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Then, Mayor William took the lead, and the whole procession of two hundred people began to move forward, to a hall that seemed to be hosting a banquet.

The hall was spacious, as if you had come to a square.

And the many long tables covered with red blankets are full of tempting delicacies waiting for their arrival.

The handmaidens with colorful bodies and lovely appearances stood on both sides of the long table, looking like they were being picked, which made Su Wei and the other turtles drool in their hearts and sighed.

And on the dining table, all kinds of beautiful porcelain plates, are full of cabbage, beets, onions, garlic, and radish. (The radish at this time was different from later generations, a reddish-purple and a lesser yellow-green variety.) As for the orange radish that people eat today, it didn't appear until the 17th century. ）

They are cooked or washed by the chefs, and they greet the guests who taste them with a beautiful posture.

Fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, etc., are cooked and brightly colored, steaming and sitting on a plate.

Of course, there are also indispensable meats, pork, beef, mutton, and bird meat, which are also grilled and tenderly placed on the table, and the bursts of aroma arouse the cravings of Suvier and others.

Don't look at the fact that Europeans and Americans don't eat much pork nowadays, but it was very common in the Middle Ages.

As the easiest to raise and the most common meat of its time, every part of its body was fully utilized by Westerners.

The ear, tongue, tail, mouth and uterus were the food of the medieval population.

Its ears, tongue, tail, mouth, and womb will all be eaten. The intestines, bladder, and stomach are used to make casings, or artificial domes at Easter.

There is no place for waste, and there is still poverty and persecution. Now that they are rich, they will not eat and despise them.

The two hundred people present, most of them were from civilian backgrounds, where had they seen such a formation, their saliva was swallowing, and their eyes were staring.

Fortunately, they have basically read books, and they still have basic literacy, and they don't pounce like hungry tigers, and they know how to restrain themselves.

"Gentlemen, let's get started! It's all yours today! ”

Mayor William said with a smile when he saw the people who were patient and hard, and then left the room.

And everyone also took care of other people's faces, and their movements were a little gentle, but except for Veseli and other two dozen people, the rest of the people ate a lot regardless of their image.

"Viseli, look at those people, their actions are so rude, it's really contemptible!"

People gather in groups, and not long after the time passed, these people were divided into two groups, one of them were the children of wealthy businessmen and officials, and they were basically either born rich or had a good relative who was an official, and generally speaking, the family was relatively wealthy.

The other part is like Suvel and others, all of whom are from commoner families, either from the Yomanon family or from the handicraft family, and this part of the population is the majority.

"Don't worry so much, these mud-legged people are different from us!"

Elegantly placing a piece of boiled apple in his mouth with a fork, Viser said in a disdainful tone.

After saying this, the people nearby nodded in unison, with a look of deep sympathy on their faces.

In this way, after noon, after a full meal and wine, everyone's faces were basically full of smiling faces, and they were also familiar with each other.

After that, under Edward's arrangement, these people began to change their clothes, taking off their old clothes and putting on the official uniform that Edward specially prepared for them.

This time, the official uniform was completely changed according to the aristocratic clothing.

The first is a two-tiered white jacket, which is very close-fitting, with a dozen buttons on the jacket, which are basically inlaid with gold, and the lining of the jacket has a thin strap to connect the upper end of the skinny pants to it.

The wide-bodied tunic was black with flowing gold, worn over the jacket, with a collar that covered the ears, a collar at the back of the neck that covered the back of the head, and a lower skirt that dragged to the ground.

On the head was a bowler hat that Edward had specially designed for them, which was a type of felt hat.

Historically, it was invented in 1850 by the Englishman James Cork.

The original design was based on the use of rigid materials to protect the head, but it became popular in the late 19th century, mainly because the bowler hat resembled the high silk top hat worn by the upper class, and was relatively cheap.

So, the cadet officers, dressed fashionably and with good manners, rode big horses and were escorted by the police, began to roam the main roads of London to boast.

Crowds of all kinds also gathered on both sides of the road, vying to see the newly released young officials.

And the brightly dressed intern officials also touched the hearts of waves of girls.

This kind of flaunting in front of everyone in London really made the trainee officers a showman, and greatly satisfied their vanity.

And at this moment, I don't know how many parents saw this scene, which directly raised the idea of letting their son study in their hearts.

"Hey! Man, what's this for? What's going on with these people? ”

Ham saw that it was good, and suddenly such a sentence appeared next to him and disturbed his interest.

However, he turned his head to see that the person who spoke was dressed like him, all in linen clothes, dusty, and relatively thin, and his eyes revealed a shrewd taste.

Ham knew that this was a small merchant who had come to London from all over the world, and although he looked like him, he probably had a lot more money than he did.

As a native of the capital and a resident of England's largest city, even if he was relatively poor, Ham still held his head high and felt disdain for him from the bottom of his heart.

"This is a new official who His Majesty the King has taken by exam, not selected by birth, and it is basically all us ordinary people!"

"Tsk! In the future, they will all be officials, different from us! ”

Although Ham looked down on him, his personality had always been more honest, so he explained it to him and then closed his mouth.

The thin merchant who was listening carefully on the side kept his head down, not knowing what he was pondering.

Like him, merchants from all over the world didn't know what they were thinking, but the news quickly spread throughout England, Scotland, France, Germany, Spain......

It was a lively day, and the people of London felt special about it, but they didn't know why.

But those who have insight know that this is the opening of a door, a door to the upper class, to discuss state affairs with the king and nobles, and the common class is beginning to be active in the political arena.

At this time, our Majesty Edward, after coaxing little Lori to take a nap, also lay on the bed and began to think about himself.

After the imperial examination in England was held, he planned to let these people intern in various halls in London for half a year, and then send them to work in the local area.

The establishment of the City of London and the British imperial examinations were all preparations for Edward's reform of England.

The specific situation of the local system in England at this time was simple.

At that time, the local government had three levels of organizations: county, 100 households, and village.

The county has a county governor appointed by the king. The district of 100 households has a head of 100 households appointed by the king.

Villages are controlled by churches or estates.

The main function of the county and the hundred households is to adjudicate justice. The County Court sits twice a year. The 100-household district court meets every four weeks.

The county magistrate and the head of the hundred households presided over the courtroom respectively. Every freeman may attend the court and participate in the trial. Later, it gradually evolved into the presence of landowners.

Due to the fiefdom of land in England, certain large tracts of land belonged to vassals (great nobles) or vassals of vassals, i.e. minor nobles. In this way, the original administrative divisions and aristocratic fiefs were intertwined and confused. Generally speaking, there were still courts in the county and the hundred-household district, but the nobles also had courts, which were the courts of feudal kings. Some feudal courts replaced the courts of the hundred households.

By the time of Henry II (1154-1189), the king authorized the Council of Royals to supervise the magistrates and feudal courts through itinerant judges, and to hear appeals. The Imperial Council effectively became the highest court in the country.

Prior to this, the central government had little contact with the local government, except for the feudal obligations of the feudal vassals. The establishment of circuit judges began to interfere with the administration of justice at the local level.

The county and the hundred-household district, at the beginning of its establishment, were basically judicial units. Its administrative functions are acquired gradually.

In the process, tribunals of freedmen or landowners evolved into local councils.

As an administrative department, the county is responsible for collecting taxes, maintaining law and order, arranging various local public affairs, and so on.

The county council elects members of parliament and key county officials such as tax collectors, royal defenders, procurators, and sometimes even county magistrates.

It can be said that the Tudor royal family was able to control the place, mainly by the magistrate, the magistrate, the star court, and the itinerant judges.
