Sean is twenty-three years old this year, has read and write, once worked as a bookkeeper in a tavern in Lela City, but once the owner of the tavern neglected the son of the city lord, and the city lord directly ordered the knight to level the tavern, and even the men inside should not be left behind; Sean thought that he was just a small character, and the city lord should not be killed, but after seeing the wanted notices posted around the city with his portrait, he finally had no choice but to escape from the city in disgrace.

Fortunately, he no longer has any relatives, and he is comfortable living alone, but he is at ease, and when he leaves the city of Lela, he himself has nowhere to go, so he can only follow the nearby homeless people and go with the flow, preparing to go to the next city to make a living as a tavern man.

It's just that the lord of Lela City seems to be determined to kill him, and even sent people to post his wanted notices in several nearby cities, not to mention going to the tavern to be a buddy, he can't even enter the city.

During this period of drifting, the surrounding homeless people seemed to have a lot of respect for the place called Icefield City, but they also said that there was a witch in that place, and it was not a good place to go, and people who had a little way would not go; Sean naturally didn't care about the witch or anything, he was desperate, as long as he could have something to eat, he was already very satisfied, who cared if he was a devil or not, so he followed the desperate homeless people around him like him, and embarked on the road to Icefield City.

Slightly closer to Icefield City, he could see that this city was very different from those homeless people's mouths, outside the small city walls, large areas of wheat had sprouted, and now it was just spring, I wonder what seeds they sowed could grow so fast? Through the neat greenhouse, he could see many women happily tending to vegetables inside, where did he meet the witch? Looking at the city again, there were not many people in the streets, and they were all in a hurry, and there was a dense clanging and rumbling sound from the surrounding buildings, and Sean didn't know what it was, and he could only hear the only sound - the sound of striking iron.

Glancing at the huge chimney emitting white smoke, Sean was a little skeptical, could there really be a witch in this city?

But the next moment his doubts were dispelled, and the bell rang at noon, and all kinds of ringing stopped, and a large number of people suddenly poured out of various buildings, men and women, and the not too wide street was suddenly crowded with people, and they all talked and laughed with each other and walked in one direction, where there was a larger tin building.

Sean, who has a sharp nose, has long smelled that it is the place to eat!

Because it was early spring, the weather was not yet warm, and many people who had eaten were walking out of the canteen with bowls to bask in the sun, and the displaced people who were queuing up to register around were all staring at each other, they couldn't believe that these workers with dark faces looked like hard work, and the bowls were so rich, not only large pieces of meat, but also all kinds of other kinds of oil and meat.

The miners squatting outside the canteen felt the envious eyes of these homeless people, and despite the darkness on their faces, they showed their only white teeth and laughed.

"Don't worry, young man, as long as you get a desk, you'll be well fed. ”

Sean didn't know if the big man covered in black was telling him, could it be that he heard the sound of his stomach growling?

He stretched out his head and glanced at the people in line in front of him, after being assigned to work, he would get a card with his name and position written on it, and with this card, he could go to the cafeteria to eat, and it was free! He really didn't know how merciful the lord of Icefield City was, and he would actually provide free oil and meat that ordinary people could only eat once in three or five weeks.

"It's finally me!" he couldn't help but swallow when he saw the people in front of him rushing to the cafeteria with joy in their hearts.

"Name. The childish young clerk asked.

"Sean Cara. "He doesn't mind giving his real name because he doesn't have his own wanted here.

"Are you literate, what are you good at, what have you done before?" asked the boy as he wrote his name on a piece of paper.

"Literate and good at ...... Bookkeeping, done before...... The bookkeeper of the tavern. "He had actually worked as a night watchman, a shepherd, and a blacksmith for a time, but the bookkeeper was the most respectable of all these capacities.

"Accounts guy?" the young man was slightly stunned, and stopped the quill pen in his hand, "You can count?"

“...... Be. Sean glanced in the direction of the cafeteria again, and found that the person in front of him had already walked out with a steaming bowl, and immediately complained a little about how long the little kid who was not yet an adult would have to ask.

The boy handed him the piece of paper with only Sean's name written on it and said, "Go there." ”

"Thank you. Although he was very depressed why he couldn't go to dinner, but after all, this is someone else's territory, can he still grab it if others don't give it to him?

Dejectedly, he walked up to a table, where a mature and beautiful lady sat back, and Sean swore that it was the top three beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Sean Cara... My name is Bernice, and I'm the deputy head of the City Lord's Mansion, so let's do this first. ”

Facing Sean, who was a little stunned, Bernice didn't say anything more and handed him a piece of paper and pen full of arithmetic problems.

It was rare to have a chance to talk to the beauty, Sean immediately sat down, put down the package, and looked at what was written on the paper.

At a glance, he could roughly understand the difficulty of these problems, which were nothing more than arithmetic problems on how to maximize profits according to the proportions and prices of various commodities and some large numbers.

"It's so simple. Although Sean had never been trained in such problems, his experience in reviving a tavern on the verge of closure showed that the questions were not too difficult, and some of them could be answered at a glance.

Writing all over the paper, Sean rubbed his stomach, which was a little hungry and aching, "Lord Deputy Chief, I... Can you go to dinner?"

Bernice picked up the paper and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, took out another, more delicate paper and handed it to him, "Very good, you can take a look at this first, and if you can do the above terms, sign your name below." ”

The hungry Sean was really afraid that he would faint before he could read the words clearly, so he glanced at it casually, but he only saw the first line of words, and he came to the spirit, "Icefield City Finance Department Official Contract"

"Official!?" he glanced at the signature on the bottom half of the paper, Rafa Hevien, who had personally decided it by His Royal Highness the Prince!

"Ms. Bernice...... I'm not a nobleman... Not even the Lord. Sean suspected that the lady must have made a mistake, in Ola, the nobles who can be officials must be nobles, and commoners have absolutely no chance to become officials.

"First, I'm not mistaken, second, you can choose to refuse, and third, you can choose to be a teacher. Bernice didn't bother to explain anything, she was only going to recruit town hall officials among the knights, but Rafa insisted on selecting a number of civilians from each department, she thought he must be crazy at the time, but if she thought about it, she could be the deputy chief as a witch, so why couldn't the civilians?

"I'll sign it!"

Sean was worried that it was a conspiracy or something, but after seeing the salary of twenty-five silver coins per month written later, he immediately wrote down his name.

"Okay, you are now a member of the town hall, someone will take you to your residence in a while, I will give you a day to clean up, and report to the city lord's mansion early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, Lord Vice-Chancellor!" Sean shuddered as he took the contract and trotted all the way into the cafeteria.

Shoving the hot piece of meat into his mouth, the aroma of the meat overflowing between his lips, he confirmed that he was not dreaming.

Early the next morning, Sean put on the newly issued official uniform of the City Lord's Mansion and walked into the cafeteria, facing the greetings of the people around him, he finally understood why the nobles always wanted to be officials.

Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, he realized that today was the first day of the formation of the City Hall, and he was still the first batch of officials of the City Lord's Mansion.

After a simple ceremony, he finally met the legendary prince Rafa, and what he thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, the wife of His Royal Highness Rafa, Felihill.

After a cheer from the crowd, Bernice and Syphus gathered them together.

The young people in uniform looked at each other, only to realize that they were not a civilian who was an official, and there were many civilians around him who could be seen at a glance, including a girl in her twenties;

"Sean and Vile, the Ministry of Commerce, are in charge of handling the affairs of the merchants of Icefield City. Bernice knew that these two men had some experience in the market, and they should be more comfortable dealing with businessmen.

Sean was happy in his heart, he finally met Peach Blossom Luck, isn't Vile that girl?

"Hello. Sean held out his hand to Vile.

"Hello. Vile smiled heartily and shook Sean's hand without twisting, her family used to run a good inn, but this also provoked the prying eyes of the local nobles, not only killed everyone in her family, but also seized her, fortunately some homeless people rescued her, she also followed the homeless team here, she has been here for a few days, she likes the thriving atmosphere here, everyone has a job, which makes her smile again.

“...... Alright, let's find our own offices, there's a lot of business waiting for you," Bernice and Sievers discussed for a moment, then continued, "Remember, if you feel that there are some things that you can't pay attention to, don't make any claims, you must come and ask me, or the chief of Sipheus, and if you meet His Royal Highness, you can also ask him directly." ”

"Understood!"

These civilians, who had become officials for the first time, were now convinced that nothing was a joke, and they all silently swore in their hearts that they would never fail the opportunity given by His Highness Rafa and would do their best work.
