ps: On the last day of the weekend, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a collection!!

Edward looked through the exam papers with some boredom, and finally found that there was no problem, basically, they were all screened according to Edward's requirements. No problem.

"Lucy, give this to ......" Edward craned his neck, and as soon as he said that, some cassette came out, he didn't know the name of the curly-haired minister.

"Give it to the yellow-haired minister, and ask him to write down the names and addresses of these people, and announce them together in a few days!"

"Yes!" Lucy responded with a word, and then went out again with a whole plate of exam papers, twisting her buttocks.

In this way, three days later, a wall of announcements was erected in front of the Palace of Westminter, that is, in front of the City Hall of London.

The brick-stacked wall is about eight feet high and six feet wide, and is plastered with white lime to give it a neat and clean look.

Since the abolition of the London Home Rule Council, the City Council has erected this publication wall to symbolize new beginnings.

Following Edward's instructions, Lord William ordered that all orders issued by the City Council and the Privy Council, as well as the King, must be published here, so that the citizens of London would know the exact decrees of the government, and no one would be confused.

At this time, in front of the announcement wall, which is usually rare, it was crowded with all kinds of people, and even more delusional wanted to cut in line, so they committed public anger and were scolded by everyone.

In front of the announcement wall, there were people wearing short shirts and linen clothes, some people in brocade clothes and high hats, and some little children who joined in the fun, sweating all over their bodies, happily crowded into the crowd, shaking their little brothers, and chattering non-stop.

Of course, there are seven aunts and eight aunts in the neighborhood, with a long-winded mouth, talking endlessly, which is very annoying in this somewhat boring summer.

It was just past seven o'clock, but the sun in the sky could not wait to spread its residual heat to the citizens of London, and although a light rain at night brought a hint of coolness to the whole city, it disappeared in an instant under the sunlight.

Enduring the scorching London weather, Suvier and his two friends, Wilson and Kleru, walked in front of the London City Council with heavy steps.

"That's it! It's finally here, and it's really exhausting to death! I knew I would have taken the carriage! ”

Wilson looked up and saw the beautiful and spectacular architecture of Westminster Palace, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Yes! It's too hot and the road is long, so it's better to take a horse-drawn carriage over! ”

Cleroux wiped the sweat from his forehead and agreed with Wilson's words.

Immediately, the eyes of the two suddenly turned to the face of the initiator, Suville, who looked hairy and unnatural.

"Hey! Didn't you two agree too! Suvier glared at the two of them without timidity, as if he had the truth in his hand.

"Besides, isn't it also about saving money! You know, we're running out of money! ”

Wilson and Kleroux looked at each other, sighed, and walked on.

Suvier followed in their footsteps and walked slowly.

It was about five miles (eight kilometers) from the cheap hotel they were staying at to the Palace of Westminster, and the three of them set out from five o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock, hot and thirsty, and uncomfortable.

When the three of them walked to the Palace of Westminster, they could only stop, because the front of the announcement wall was already densely packed with people.

Men's hats, women's aprons, and even children's naughty child pee are scattered on the ground at random, and no one cares.

"I'm in, I'm in! Hahaha!! I'll be an official in the future! At the front of the crowd, one was in his twenties, dressed in crude linen, and looked to be from a similar family to the three of Suvir.

I saw that an endless smile appeared on his originally somewhat handsome face, and even distorted his handsome face.

But he didn't care so much, just laughed heartily, his pace was a little unsteady, and the crowd consciously made a way for him to come out.

And in the same last position as Su Wei and the others, an uncle in his thirties showed envious eyes at this time, and his longing could not be concealed.

"Alas! What an envy! The uncle said to the people beside him with a sigh.

"I've heard that as long as you enter the top ten, you can become the secretary of the Privy Council, which is a qualification only those nobles have!"

As he spoke, the envy and jealousy in his eyes were about to flow out.

"Yes! As long as there is a ranking, the lowest can become an official of the London City Council, much better than us civilians! ”

"From then on, he was the upper class! It's none of our business anymore! ”

The person next to him didn't feel the sigh either, and added.

Not in the Middle Ages, I don't know what people in the Middle Ages thought about changing their status.

It can be said that in the Middle Ages, the solidification of social classes was unimaginable.

Unlike ancient China, where commoners could change their status through the imperial examinations, in the Middle Ages, commoners were always commoners, and serfs were always serfs, which was difficult to change.

Edward's implementation of this program, to be precise, can basically only be carried out in England, like France, Spain, and Germany, which is basically impossible.

England is a country of the Renaissance, so the people's knowledge and enlightenment level is high at a certain level, and the literacy rate is much higher than that of other countries.

This brings him the source of officials, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you hold this exam and no one participates!

And, more crucially, the English nobility suffered too much loss during the War of the Red and White Roses, which hurt their vitality.

Moreover, after the suppression of Henry VII and Henry VIII, the two Tudor monarchs, by the time of Edward, the count and the duke were added together, and there were only twelve in total, and even a few of them were relatives of Queen Henry VIII, such as Duke Houghton.

It is even more exaggerated that when Elizabeth I was extinct and the Tudor dynasty fell, there was not a single duke.

Thus the power in Edward's hands was incomparable to that of the other monarchs of Europa at this time.

After hearing these words, the three of them became more concerned about whether they could be admitted and what ranking they obtained, and their faces were full of eagerness.

But the three of them were a little more than five feet tall at most, and it was impossible to see if their names were on them.

In desperation, the three of them could only exert all their strength, like fish, and squeezed into the crowd.

As a result, the whole crowd suddenly resounded with a burst of scolding, women's voices, men's voices, children's voices, and even some voices that looked like men and men and women and women, and cold sweat broke out on the faces of the three of Suvier.

Finally squeezed to the front, the faces of the three of them were a lot darker, and some places turned red and blue, and their clothes were disheveled.

The three of them couldn't care about so much, and hurriedly looked forward with anticipation.

On the originally snow-white walls, a pair of yellow paper was pasted at this time, on which a series of names were written with quill pens.

However, the first three were described in bold handwriting, and they were still at the top, and Suvier saw it at first sight.

1st place: Viselli. Prancy. 2nd place: Davis, 3rd place, David.

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that a random person he knew would actually take the first exam, it was really amazing.

Then, like his companions, he began to search from above.

In the rows, there was no name of his own, and Suvier's heart became more and more nervous, and his palms were full of fine sweat.

Finally, in the last few places, he found his name, and he felt that his heart suddenly exploded, and his mind went blank, with only three words - I was hit!

"I'm in, I'm in! ......" Suvier kept muttering, his expression glazed.

And Wilson and Kleroux next to him are also average, ranking in the last row, the last ten.

The two of them instantly cried with joy and hugged each other.

Later, Suvier, who had come back to react, joined in the celebration as well.

And the people nearby couldn't see his situation, and instantly gave up a place for the three of them to celebrate.

And many more people don't find anything in it, and they also find out what they are about to lose, so it is inevitable to lose their minds.

Before the three of them could finish their celebrations, they were interrupted by two policemen guarding the announcement wall.

"Three gentlemen, please go to the Hall of the City of London, where His Majesty the King and Mayor William are waiting for you!"

The policeman said to the three of them in a gentle tone, and he also knew that these three people were different from others, and they would be high-class people from now on, and they might even become their top bosses.

"Oh! Thank you! The three of Suvel suddenly stopped, held back the joy in their hearts, and thanked them in unison.

Immediately, the three of them left the crowd, walked the red carpet, and came to the hall of the city hall under the guidance of the guards along the way.

The City of London is located in the lower left corner of the Palace of Westminter, which is on the first floor, and next door to it is the London City Council, which is the Lower Council.

Originally, Edward was going to meet them in the hall, but when he thought about it, this was the place where the king was crowned or married, and it was too grand.

Coming to meet them in person is to show that I attach importance to them, and I am too late.

When the three of them arrived, there were already more than a hundred people standing in the hall, among them, Viselli, whom he knew, was standing at the front.

After a while, dozens of more people came, and the number of people finally arrived.

And at this time, Edward took a stride and slowly arrived.

"Good day! Your Majesty! Nearly two hundred people bowed in unison, and the sound even shook the glass.

Edward waved his hand, and the group straightened their backs, but their eyes could not look directly at the king.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all talented in England, selected from thousands of people, and I hope that in the days to come, you will not let me down!"

Edward's voice was powerful, loud and intimidating in the echoing hall.

And Suvier and the others could only respond loudly to Edward.
