Chapter 404: Recruitment Advertisement
"Come and take a look! Don't miss it when you pass by! The latest news of the kingdom is freshly released, so that you can know about the kingdom events for the first time, come and buy a copy!" The newspaper boy walking through the streets carried a satchel full of newspapers on his waist, and waved a copy in his hand.
"Kingdom News" is the official newspaper founded and published by the Seth royal family itself, once a month, it published some special things that happened in the cities of the kingdom last month, although it was a little late, but because it published many of the city's customs, food and beauty, entertainment gossip and so on very eye-catching news, and the price is not expensive, there is only one gold coin throughout the year, so the circulation is still a lot, about millions of copies can be sent out every month, and the people who buy them are nobles and commoners.
And that's just the amount ordered in advance, and with the addition of some retail, it's another source of replenishment for the treasury.
A passer-by saw the newspaper boy waving the newspaper and shook it, beckoned, beckoned the newspaper boy over, took out three copper plates and handed them to him.
"Little one, bring me one. ”
"Okay!" the newspaper boy took out a new newspaper from the satchel on his waist and gave it to the passer-by who bought it.
A newspaper retailed for three copper coins, and when I saw someone buying it, some passers-by were attracted to buy the newspaper from the newspaper boy, and half of the dozens of newspapers in the newspaper boy's waist bag were sold in a blink of an eye.
The price of the newspaper was two copper coins, and after deducting the cost, the newspaper boy barely earned less than ten copper coins, and if he could sell all the newspapers, he could earn more.
It was already good to be able to sell a copy, and the newspaper boy saw that almost all the passers-by here had bought the newspaper, and those who didn't buy it had no interest in buying it, so he closed his satchel and walked to the other side of the street, ready to turn into another street to sell newspapers.
Mr. Karl was a clerk in the city, and compared to other ordinary people who only knew a few words, Mr. Karl was able to write a good article, which was favored by the city lord, so he was specially promoted to be a clerk, and entered the life of the middle class, instead of living in a small slum like a pauper, he bought a house in the ordinary area.
He had a "Kingdom News" at home, but because he slept too late today, he hurried to work without reading the new issue of the newspaper.
Halfway down the road, Mr. Carr saw a boy selling newspapers on the side of the street, and newspapers were not too expensive, so he bought one, and as long as he was not late, he had enough time to sit in his office and read the newspaper with the leisure of his clerk's work.
Walking into the city office building hidden in a green field on Bishu Street, the little girl at the reception at the door saw Mr. Carl and called out sweetly:
"Good morning, Mr. Carr. ”
"Good morning Yelena. Smiling and greeting the girl at the reception, Elena, Carl walked up the stairs refreshed, as long as he wasn't late, it didn't matter if he didn't eat, he could ask Yelena to bring one for himself.
Thinking of this, Carl turned his head and said to Yelena, "Yelena, can you tell me if there are any meals nearby that can be sold for breakfast?"
"Yes, Mr. Carl, there are pumpkin pies, meat pancakes, apple pies, and braised pork noodles!"
"Didn't you eat in the morning, Mr. Carr?" asked Yelena, with her big watery eyes.
"Woke up late in the morning and was almost late. Yelena, can you buy me a braised pork noodle and an apple pie?"
"Of course, Mr. Karl, I'll send it to your office when I'm done?"
"Yes, I'll wait in the office and I'll give you the money when the time comes. Thank you, Elena. ”
"You're welcome!" Elena smiled like a crooked crescent moon with her eyes and bounced to buy something.
It's not time to go to work yet, as long as you run faster, you can buy it back before work time without delaying work.
This is running errands for Mr. Scrivener, for a small receptionist like Yelena, it is a good thing to have a relationship with the Scrivener, people use you this time, will they forget you?
Carl returned to his office, made himself a cup of tea, and waited for his breakfast to arrive.
The newspaper he had just bought on the road was not forgotten by Carl, and when he opened the newspaper, he was greeted by two red letters in the largest font size, occupying a full half of the page.
Underneath these two types are a few lines of small print.
"My dear people, those young men who have blood in their hearts and love the motherland, the glory is obtained by themselves, and only the honor of fighting with their own hands is something worthy of pride for a lifetime. ”
"It's a time of chaos, it's a dark time, it's a time of fear, but it's also a time of light. The armies of fallen angels and the undead are terrifying, but opportunities are always accompanied by danger, and for us, they also mean merit and glory. ”
"Do you want to get a fief and a knighthood, do you want to be adored by your beloved girl, do you want to become a hero admired by all people? Come, join the army, become a glorious soldier, on the battlefield, with blood and fire to achieve your own destiny, with sword and shield to forge your own path. ”
"I'm Brun Seth, and I'm waiting for you on the day of my knighthood. ”
This was followed by an entire advertisement about conscription and a collection of words and calls for enlistment from King Brunn Seth, the Minister of War and Political Affairs Augsger, the commander of the Northern Military District, Nicholas, the commander of the Southern Military District, Hades, and others.
Looking at the advertisements and articles that occupied the entire circulation of the publication, Karl sighed and said: "Conscription, this seems to be so impassioned, but there are only a few people who can be knighted, and how many soldiers who go to the battlefield will come alive?
After all, Carl is a clerk, and he has seen a lot more than ordinary people, and he can feel the deeper meaning of which texts he has written for a long time than others.
"Alas, I don't know how many great lads will fall forever in the way of the charge. Karl sighed again.
"Mr. Karl, I bought you the breakfast you wanted!" Elena's cheerful voice relieved Carl's lingering muffle.
"Thank you Elena, this is a silver coin, you don't have to give me more, it's your running expenses. ”
"Card ...... Mr. Carr ......"
"What's the matter? Afraid that others will say that you are tipping and that it is not good for your work? Rest assured, no one will dare to chew on the root of your tongue in the back. ”
"No, Mr. Karl, you ...... You don't give enough, the meal money is one silver coin plus four copper coins......"
