Chapter 127 The performance of "Henry VII".
Edward said indifferently, took Mayor William, and walked to the registration point together.
Wilson, on the other side, was pulled by Suvier at this time and walked towards the registration office.
"Hey, Souvel, I'm just saying hello, what's wrong with you?"
Wilson broke free from Sowel's pull, shook off his arm, and asked curiously, puzzled.
"Hey, man, didn't you see that little gentleman followed by a couple of bodyguards?"
"This kind of person knows at a glance that it is a big person, let's not provoke it at will!"
"London, the water is very deep here!"
Sowel gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear, and walked straight to the registration point regardless of it.
And Wilson and Kreroux also followed the past in three steps and two steps, without saying a word on the way.
It is said that it is a registration point, but in fact it is a long table, and there are three literate young people, all of whom are temporary employees of the government.
Although the three of them sat there, they looked lazy and couldn't lift their strength.
"Hey, where are you three from? What is your name? ”
The young man sitting in the middle looked tired, as if he was too tired.
"Wilson, Suvier, Kreroux, from Norwich, Norfolk."
Wilson stopped the two, stepped forward, and replied in place of the three.
"Hold, this is the sign of the three of you, come here on April 28th to take the exam!"
"Now, each of you sign my name!"
Immediately, in front of the three of them was a piece of paper with their names signed.
The three of them found an empty spot and filled in their names.
"Remember, you have to be there before nine in the morning." One asked, and the other two held quill pens and wrote messages on three wooden signs.
The three of them got three sets of wooden plaques, walked to the other side, and asked a master carpenter to use a knife to engrave words on the original ink.
The master carpenter was very professional, and in less than ten minutes, all the wooden plates of the three were carved.
Suvier picked it up and looked at it, only to see a lazy lion carved on the front, and a description of his own physiognomy behind him - five feet three inches tall, short brown hair, and a slightly thin body, from Norwich.
And when Sowel looked at Wilson next to him, his description was - five feet three inches tall, with long black hair, and a slightly chubby body, from Norwich.
But Kreroux is five feet two inches tall, with long brown hair, and a thin build, from Norwich.
This is the physical description of the three people, it is simply rudimentary.
The three laughed at each other and left, while Edward stood ten feet away, watching carefully.
"Your Majesty, we use the wooden plaque to identify us, and their information is engraved on it!"
"In order to better identify them, we also asked them to leave their signatures, and when the exam comes, we will compare them again, so that the chance of impersonation is very small!"
Edward watched carefully, and Mayor William, who was beside him, was not idle, explaining to Edward in words.
"Okay, let's go and see how the exam papers go!"
With a wave of his hand, Edward took Mayor William and rode in a carriage towards the suburbs of London.
This place in the suburbs was the result of Edward's research with a group of priests from Oxford University, as well as teachers from ordinary secondary schools.
Of course, he won't have any difficult questions, at most what is your faith? If you answer yes Catholic!
Then you just say goodbye, even if you get full marks for the rest of the questions, you will still be eliminated.
If the answer is Anriganzong, congratulations, you have passed the first level.
The rest are just some ordinary quizzes, such as which is the state religion of England? Which family was the ruler of England?
And beyond that, how much pennies is a piece of brown bread worth? Which is the capital of England?
These are some general knowledge questions, and Edward uses this exam to select the people he needs, pay attention, is a person, a person who knows basic English, and can write.
This is mainly based on the current situation in England.
Although there is information that the literacy rate in England during the Renaissance was between 10 and 30 percent.
But that's just an optimistic statistic.
In England and Wales, as well as in the Dublin area of Northern Ireland, there were about 3.5 million people under Edward's rule.
There are only about 100 secondary schools and elementary schools (and, of course, the necessary stewardship schools) plus a number of church-affiliated schools, so there are only about 3,000 students in total.
Strangely, the richer the wealthier, such as the aristocracy and the wealthy merchants, their children did not bother to learn knowledge, and at most they could write their own names.
And the civilians at the bottom have no capital to learn.
Only middle-class jomannons, lawyers, artisans, and petty capitalists hired governesses to educate their children.
This group of people is the main target of Edward's examination.
Although these people learn things that are somewhat one-sided, as long as they are literate and can understand documents.
I came here to check it out, and Edward didn't find it difficult to find these very simple questions.
Although most of the government is mediocre, there is still a need for elites, and after thinking about it carefully, Edward still feels that there should be a finale.
"The farmer of London, Sayr, has a fence with two animals, a rooster and a sheep, and fifty feet if you count from below, and twenty heads if you count from above!"
"Excuse me, how many sheep are in the fence, and how many chickens!"
"Your Majesty, isn't this topic too difficult!"
The bald scholar on the side asked with some skepticism about Edward's dictation, his face very embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, the last question is to test the most elite talents, and ordinary people I won't expect them to answer correctly!"
Seeing that the other scholars and priests all looked in agreement, Edward turned around before leaving, and said in a very casual tone.
A group of people looked at Edward's disappearing figure with questions, and looked at each other without saying a word.
The next day, Edward was having breakfast with little Lori.
Watching little Lori happily eat wheat porridge one bite at a time, Edward also felt an appetite and ate an extra bowl.
After eating, Lucy walked in and whispered into Edward's ear, while little Lori gritted her teeth.
Little Lori seemed to be angry, puffing out her little face, looking at Lucy next to Edward with an angry face, and pursed her little lips.
After listening to Lucy's words, Edward was puzzled when he saw that little Lori looked like this.
"Who made our Mary angry, tell Brother Edward, and he will help you teach him a lesson!"
As he spoke, Edward's face looked like he was about to beat someone, and his eyes were still looking around.
"Humph! It's all Sister Lucy, Brother Edward, Beat Sister Lucy! ”
As she spoke, Little Lori showed her little tiger teeth, grinned ruddy mouth, and wrinkled her little nose.
"Oh! Why Lucy? Could it be that Lucy did something to make you angry again! ”
Edward asked, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, little Mary, don't slander me at will!"
"You say I'm wrong without proof, but you're going to be spanked!"
Lucy said this softly, but her right hand was stretched out and made a gesture of spanking.
"Ahh Little Lori hurriedly covered her buttocks, looking scared, but she still held her head high and said stubbornly:
"It's all Sister Lucy, every time you come, Brother Edward will have something, and he won't play with Mary!"
As if she couldn't get rid of her hatred, she covered her ass with her left hand, stomped on the ground with her short legs, and the ponytail on her head bounced and jumped.
"Haha, I see, can I take Mary with me this time?"
Edward looked at the angry little Lori funny, walked over, touched her red hair, and said with a smile.
"Oh? Is it? Little Lori was still a little unconvinced, shook her little head, looked into Edward's eyes and asked.
After receiving Edward's affirmative reply, she jumped up and down happily, as if it was exciting for her to go to work with Edward.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go to work!" Little Lori jumped and took Casey's hand, which was standing next to her, and dragged her back to her room.
"Let's go! Let's go get ready! Edward looked at Lori's cheerful steps and said to Lucy, who was following him.
Half an hour later, Edward was dressed in aristocratic attire, wearing a purple cape, boots made of precious rhinoceros skin, and a yellow lion embroidered on the surface.
Little Lori, on the other hand, is wearing a pink dress, with a butterfly hairpin on her head, pale red lip gloss on her lips, and a cherub pendant around her neck.
In her arms, however, she was holding a bear toy that Edward had given her.
"Mary, why did you bring the bear out?"
Edward asked, confused.
"Brother Edward, the bear hasn't come out for a long time, I want to take it outside!"
Little Lori tilted her head and said in a delicate voice, looking very reasonable.
"Oh well! Let's go! Edward took Lori's hand and said.
Edward took Lori in front, followed by Lucy, Luna, and Kathy, and got into the carriage together.
Since this is a carriage for the royal family, it is very spacious, and it is not crowded at all when a few people sit on it.
The carriage was driven by three horses in the middle, while fifty guards on horseback followed Edward to the left and right, keeping Edward safe.
This time, Edward and his party came out, mainly because the task he gave to Yudel had been successfully completed, and the actors had been rehearsing for nearly a month, but the performance was over.
So, before that, Edward sent some of the leading ministers and nobles in London, as well as some wealthy merchants, to come and enjoy the show today.
