Chapter 84 Diplomas and Benefits
Noysas was choked speechless—what the hell is this? For some reason, a basin of dirty water fell on the church and his head...... Forget it, let's continue to listen to the coachman.
"General Perrier, don't look at the righteous and arrogant outside, he is no worse than his own son when he plays these dirty methods, oh no, it should be said that he has taught him by word and deed. He allowed his ruffian subordinates to buy and sell in the name of the Bilunar Church, and to build a manor for himself, and both sides turned a blind eye to him in order to prefer less...... "The coachman was a little angry when he said this.
"Then his son was hung on the gatehouse, and the father was silent?" Neuesas pondered and felt that something was wrong: why did this general Perrier sound like this bull B, why was his son still hung with a street lamp?
When the coachman heard this, he laughed: "Ah! You don't know this, that Perrier is majestic on the surface, but in fact he is a bad breed who eats soft and is afraid of hard! When the police and soldiers from Cierta kicked the iron door of his house open, the guy was still shivering with a quilt wrapped in a quilt on his chair! Luckily, he had gotten the word that it was his son who had been caught on the head of the otherworldly man, or he would have been on his knees and begging for mercy from those guys from Cierta. ”
"So cowardly?" Neuesas was also shocked when he heard this, "And then his son was taken away and hung up on the gatehouse?" ”
"The soldiers and the policemen took his son out of the closet, and listed him in public on ten counts, and finally sentenced him - until the end his good father did not even dare to go out to look at him, tsk, but unfortunately I was not in the city that day, and only after returning to the city did I hear that his son was hung on the roof of the city gate, which I heard from my colleagues."
"What about his father? Isn't he also pacified in the Church of the Two Moons...... No, did you do a lot of things that you said were hurtful when you invaded Elta? Neuesas pressed and almost didn't give himself two big slaps - he almost wrapped his tongue around himself.
The coachman pinched the reins and recalled for a moment before answering: "Of course, he hasn't been 'settled by the Otherworldly and the Central Government of the Elta Empire' yet, but the news that the brothers heard from the tavern says that he is 'soon' too." The police from the central government are investigating what 'unidentified source income' he has received in the past year...... Hey, it's hard to pronounce a term invented by people from another world, Clyde, that's what it means, right? ”
The coachman of the second carriage behind him, Clyde, immediately responded: "You dirt bun no matter how he spells it, you know that it refers to money and grain, land and women of unknown origin, then that's it!" ”
After hearing this, the coachman pointed at Clyde and smiled: "This guy talks about what the central government stipulates to take the 'Elementary Education Certificate' every day, but he can't even read the words that appear in the 'Kamla City Bulletin' every day. Hahahahaha-"
"Am I not?" Clyde's eyes widened, and his face turned red instantly, "I just can't think of it for a while!" ”
"Hahahahahaha-" All the chamber mates and coachmen who worked with him immediately burst into laughter, only from this side of the island of Lancas, including the living god Neu Isas, were completely confused: what "income from unknown sources", what "primary literacy certificate", and even "Kamla City Briefing", these new words seemed to deliberately embarrass them, separating them from the seemingly lowly and ignorant working people in front of them, but this time there was something different, really ignorant and lowly, it is they who lag behind.
"What is this 'Kamla City Briefing'?" But when it comes to shameless questioning, among these "members of the merchant group" who all bow their heads, there is still no one like Neuesas, although they know much more about the people of the other world than he does, and some of them have even escaped from South Elta for less than half a year.
"'Kamla City Briefing'......" The coachman pinched his chin and pondered how to explain it, just as he saw the newspaper column on the side of the street. I saw him stretch out his arm and reply, "Well, it's the iron plate with the glass on it, and the paper on the inside of the glass is the briefing." Someone would change the paper once a day or two, and it would be filled with the latest events in Elta, the new policies that were about to be implemented in Kamra, and the ......"
Ignoring the fact that the coachman had not finished speaking, Neuesas hurried to the newspaper board in three steps and two steps, and almost put his face on the plexiglass of the newspaper column.
The propaganda department in Kamla is now staffed by a three-member team in charge of culture and education, and is equipped only with a speed printing machine that strictly adheres to the electricity time quota.
So the Kamla City Bulletin that Neuesas saw was really just a side of the pros and cons of an ordinary newspaper. The one on the left is full of the current affairs of the country in Elta, which has been prepared and typeset by the Elta Central News Agency (with its headquarters in Mendong City for the time being), while the one on the right is all about Kamra's own affairs, from the city's high-profile events such as the repair of the clock tower to the recruitment of civil servants.
The headline on the left first caught the attention of Neu Esas. It is clearly written in double-coded, uniformly sized bold type: The shipyard in the port of Hirzi has been completed, and the whole territory of Elta is now looking for any workers with experience in shipbuilding and iron casting, as well as seafarers with experience in going to sea, details can be consulted at the personnel office of the central government of Elta in the local city.
Nowhere in the text does the size of the shipyard be revealed, but the domineering spirit revealed between the lines spilled out from behind the plexiglass, scaring Neuesas back several steps: recruiting unlimited shipwrights and seafarers, and if the people of the other world are not talking big here, then you can imagine the size of their shipyard......
Breaking out in a cold sweat, he was too agitated to look down, and he cursoryly turned his gaze to another headline: the same bold lettering read: "Agricultural surveys in the suburbs of El Takamla do Sul have begun."
Looking down carefully, the main direction of "agricultural survey" is explained in smaller words: acreage, yield, variety, and the popularization of knowledge such as "the reasons why agricultural survey benefits the country and the people", as well as "the treatment and cultural needs of recruiting agricultural investigators", etc., which can be seen dizzying......
Wait a minute...... Neesas's gaze stopped in front of a line of phrases. In the paragraph recruiting agricultural investigators, the "Qualification Certificate for Recognition of Primary Education Level" is repeatedly marked in black and bold font, and it seems that this certificate is a stepping stone for people from another world.
"Mr. Coachman," Neuesas asked, turning to the coachman approaching him, "what exactly is this 'Certificate of Recognition of Primary Education'?" Where to go to find who to identify? ”
"Ah...... Clyde! As soon as the coachman received the ball, he kicked it out vigorously, "You come and explain to this little young master, how do you get that damn qualification certificate!" ”
Not long after Clyde was taunted, his face was still blue and white, and he replied weakly: "Go to the city hall to register for the weekly cultural recognition qualification test, which includes short-answer questions for reading and writing comprehension, as well as short-answer questions for comprehension of arithmetic,"
Seeing the deep affection of Neu Esas when he heard the "content comprehension arithmetic problem", Clyde had to re-explain: "The content comprehension arithmetic problem is to calculate the area of an irregularly sized field, for example, or how much grain a grain farmer can receive, based on a 'real scenario'. ”
"How many people are going to take the exam? …… Or how useful is it to recognize a qualification? Noysas didn't really hear and understood very badly, so he simply jumped to the next question.
Clyde couldn't help but regain his spirit when he heard this, and his eyes lit up: "Of course it works!" The last time I was five points short of getting this certificate, there were 500 people in the whole city who took the exam! After getting this certificate, you can go to the official mansion of people from another world to work as an errand, and then you can eat and wear without worry, and you can subsidize your family, and you will go to the peak of your life from then on......"
Neuesas did not listen to the young man's dreams any more, turned away from the newspaper column, slipped a gold coin into Clyde's palm, and said to him, "Will you take an extra copy of these newspapers every day and bring them to my lodgings?" ”
Seeing this big golden coin, Clyde almost thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. However, he quickly saw the sticker on the newspaper board, shook his head and replied, "I'm afraid it won't work, but I can give you a copy of it every day......"
"So be it." Neuesas was preoccupied and didn't care about this detail. This Kamla City seems to have been grasped by the tentacles of the people of another world—he thought to himself. If those martial arts factions landed with him, they must have already started to do it at this time, and they had to slaughter all the "lackeys of the other world" in this city...... Not to mention what newspapers to read, what Elta matters to care about - the level of those group of tendons is nothing more than that, and there are more than enough successes and failures.
"It's a real obstacle." Noysas lowered the brim of his hat and gradually turned his gaze away from the Elta Army soldiers standing guard on the side of the newspaper column: the guys in those soldiers were the "rifles" he had seen on the main island of Lankas, and the blue color on them made his heart sink - although he had been told before he went ashore that the forces of the people of the other world had entered Kamla City, he was really not ready to face this strange civilization head-on.
