Returning from the battlefield, Arold enjoyed a moment of peace and comfort with his wife, just like everyone else, but at the same time Arold did not forget his duties as lord, except that he would summon the acolytes of the Angry Lion Castle to his castle by the priests who taught writing and knowledge, so that these young people could familiarize themselves with government affairs, and conduct examinations for these young people to discover the plastic talents in them and train them, the content of the examination was the use of words and basic logical thinking, But there are also clergy who believe that Arold should take the exam exactly according to what the Bible says.

"I will." Arold could not directly refuse this request of the clergy, so he nodded vaguely, and added some knowledge of ecclesiastical law to the examination, although according to Arrod, a person from later generations, those laws were simply full of ridiculous bad habits of the nomadic era, but after all, this was the law prevailing in Europa at this time, and he had to flexibly add it to his examination for selecting talents.

"Rustle~~." The goose feather tube rustled against the parchment, like a silkworm gnawing on mulberry leaves, more than twenty young attendants sat on a large long wooden table that was originally to entertain guests for a meal, picked up the goose feather tube in their hands and licked the precious ink and wrote, in their center Xia Zuo held a wooden board, the wooden board was nailed with several pages of parchment, each page was a question, the attendants needed to solve the problem in a limited time, and how to time Arold made a funnel drip, and there was a small hole in the bottom of the funnel, The water poured into the leak will drip in about half an hour, and then the servant next to him will re-pour the water from the small bucket below.

"What the hell does this mean?" A young nobleman studying in the Angry Lion Castle frowned, and he put a goose feather in his mouth and bit it. There are five columns of patterns drawn on the question held by Xia Zuo, the pattern of the first column is the question, there is an empty space in the middle, and the next four columns are drawn with many other patterns, and the requirement of the question is to find out the pattern of the corresponding question of the lower pattern, which tests the candidate's logical thinking ability, which is simply a very mentally retarded question in Arrod's time, but it is the first time it appears here.

"Well, I think we should fill the sheep." Another small attendant sitting across from him said that he was not a child of a nobleman. In the academy where Arrod's Angry Lion Castle trains squires. Not only the children of the nobles but also the children of the commoners, as long as they were smart and not disabled, they would be taken to the castle of the Angry Lion, and at first the peasants and commoners were still suspicious, thinking that Arold had taken their children and sold them into slavery. However, it was soon learned that their children were taught by the priests to have no food and clothing. These parents couldn't help but be happy. Occasionally, when they heard that their children could stay and work with the noble count after the guò exam, these parents really sweated, and everyone knew that working next to the nobles would definitely have no worries about food and clothing. And there is the possibility of becoming a powerful person, this is a good opportunity to change the whole family, so when he was visiting his children, he told him that if this scene was seen by Arrod, he would definitely laugh, which was the same as the scene of the college entrance examination and official apes in the Celestial Empire.

"We are aristocrats, even if we are trying to do swordsmanship, what are we doing here now to write and paint and do some clerical work? Could it be that the Count was ready to send us to the monastery? The young nobleman said dissatisfiedly, but he only dared to mumble quietly, if he could not pass the guò exam, his father would definitely beat himself half to death.

"Don't worry about Osveld. Wayne, these priests have told us all about it, you just need to think about it again. ”

"God forbid, little Pyne, help me." The young hungry Osvid wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he peeked with his eyes at the leak, and the water in the bucket below was already increasing, which made him even more nervous.

"Ugh." Little Pine, who was sitting opposite, couldn't do anything, he had to blink three times with his eyes, but at this time, Arold, who was sitting on the lord's wooden chair, let out a warning cough, and suddenly the sneaky whispers in the hall stopped, and only the rustling sound could be heard.

"What is the Earl doing here?" At this time, Princess Josie and her two maids were standing in the corridor on the second floor and watched the scene in the hall, and the young people who were struggling to write attracted their attention, and the maids asked Princess Josie curiously.

"Arold said to take a look at these young people and select young people who can work beside him." Princess Josie holds a Bible in her hand, the cover of this Bible is birch, the carpenter carefully carved the crucifix of the Son, and there are many colored gems on it, don't underestimate the value of this Bible, it is one of Princess Josie's dowry.

"Wasn't it recommended by a nobleman?" The maid asked in surprise, "Usually people who work beside a lord like Arrod are recommended by other honorary nobles whose reputation is not tainted, because the lords don't want to have spies from other countries by their side, and only trustworthy people can serve them by the lord's side."

"I don't know, but the Count must have his own reasons for doing so." Of course, Princess Josie couldn't understand Arrod's approach, but she knew that she had to support her husband unconditionally.

"I lost my word." The maid hurriedly lowered her head and bowed to Princess Josie in apology, and the maid from the court of the Duchy of Mason felt very fresh, and couldn't help but glance at Arrod, who was sitting on the lord's throne sternly.

"It's time." When the exams were over, all the attendants wrote their names on them and handed in the parchment exam papers, which were handed directly to Arrod by the little fat Xia Zuo, who would work with Brother Elvet to judge the papers and admit the right talents.

"In the afternoon there will be an examination of physique and swordsmanship in the castle barracks, and you must arrive on time." Arold sat in the lord's chair, leaning back on his back, and spoke loudly to the young squires.

"Yes, the Earl." The attendants bowed to Arold and replied, their youthful voices echoing through the hall, and then they rushed out of the hall to prepare for the afternoon exams, for in this chaotic and dark age it was more important to use force.

"Lord Earl, I don't understand why food is wasted to keep these young people from working." Brother Elvet walked in through the side door of the hall, he had already arrived and observed for a long time, the great nobles usually hired a lot of attendants, but the great nobles would never let the priests teach these attendants, because in the eyes of the nobles, except for their own children, how could they not let the attendants work in vain, so Arold's approach made Brother Elvet very puzzled.

"Don't worry, their value is in the future." Arold smiled, listening to the cheers and chatters coming from outside the hall, which reminded him of his student days, when he came back to his senses, Brother Elvet had already finished reviewing it, because the Germans did not have their own script, so the priests taught Latin, but Latin is a very complex writing system, it is impossible to master it all without years of serious study, so Arold asked the priests to teach them simple Latin applications, Coming from the later Celestial Empire, Arold was well aware of the power of writing, and that perhaps the Germanic people would come from different tribes and speak differently depending on the region, but only the written word could unite them.

"Their handwriting skills should be up to your requirements, Lord Earl." Brother Elvet said to Arold.

"Hmm, so is there any writing in it?" Arold stood up and poured two glasses of wine from the flask, placing one of them into Brother Elvet's hand before asking Brother Elvet.

"Yes, a few of them are so beautifully written that you can immediately go to the church writing room and work." Brother Elvet took the glass and replied to Arrod.

"Well, pick it out, I'll take a closer look." Arold nodded with satisfaction, these people can become civil officials to be trained, Mecklenburg is a small county, compared to a small county in the Celestial Empire, but Arold has no intention of stopping there, now these civil officials can accumulate experience and become the arms of Arold's future rule.

"But Lord Earl, most of the rest of the people are nobles, aren't you going to take another look?" Brother Elvet worriedly glanced at the other stack of exam papers that Arold had put aside, he was very worried that Arold would lose the election of these noble children, and if the nobles knew about it, it would be considered a great humiliation.

"Don't worry, the swordsmanship and physical competitions in the afternoon will also be taken into account." Arold understood the worries of Brother Elvet, although he was more afraid of the power of the nobles, but it was undeniable that he really couldn't bypass the nobles in order to maintain his rule, and there were many excellent people in the aristocratic family, which could not be compared with the commoners and peasant families who toiled for two meals a day.

"That's good." Brother Elvet relieved himself at this time, the nobles of Europa treated their territory in an extensive way, as long as they collected taxes, they would never interfere in the lives of the nobles in the territory, and there was no so-called administrative body to rule, so it was normal for the people in the castle to not understand what Arold was doing.

Just as Arold and Brother Elvet were judging the squire's papers, Sir Ron strode in, he stood next to the column and nodded to Arold, it seemed that there was something to inform Arrod, Sir Ron's face was a little ugly, Arrod's brow was furrowed, it seemed that there was bad news for him.
