Chapter 380: The Third Princess

The next day, Ma Fan woke up regained his energy and felt refreshed.

The concentration of the aura in this ruin realm is indeed much stronger than that of the human realm. Although this is a city, the aura concentration is not weaker than Ma Fan's Villa No. 1 in Wolong Mountain.

After leaving the inn, Ma Fan came to a well-known local breakfast restaurant, ate some local snacks, and then walked down the street.

At this time, Ma Fan saw that a wall in front of him was full ............of people, and someone was reading out the notice on the wall loudly.

"Accompanying the bookkeeper? Is there still this position? Ma Fan couldn't help but be a little curious.

But in the crowd in front of the wall, a person continued to read aloud: "The third princess of the Eastern Continent is now recruiting an accompanying account office from all over the country, requiring good health, quick thinking, careful thinking, and proficient in the way of mathematics......... If you are interested, please report to the City Lord's Mansion of Songzhou City before today, and the selection will be made on the spot........... The salary is good, and the monthly salary is one hundred taels of silver..........."

As soon as this person's words fell, there was a "commotion" from the crowd of onlookers.

"Such a high monthly salary!"

"The third princess recruits the accompanying account room, I don't know how fierce the competition will be!"

"Three princesses? Isn't that the princess in red? I heard that the third princess not only has the appearance of a country and a city, but also is the most business-talented person among all the children of the lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom, so if she wants to be selected to be her accompanying bookkeeper, it must be very demanding! ”

"I heard that the third princess has not yet married, isn't this accompanying account room able to live with the third princess, and get the moon first near the water?"

"Cut, look at you like that, still thinking about such a good thing?"

"You are too bold, are you so blasphemous to the third princess, you are not afraid that the people of the official family will tie you up?"

Ma Fan couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and only then did he see the notice on the wall.

Sure enough, the three princesses of the Eastern Continent Kingdom were ready to recruit the accompanying account room.

"Interesting!" Ma Fan said in his heart. In the past few days, he has traveled in the territory of the Eastern Continent and has heard a lot about the three princesses. Folklore has it that the third princess was not only born beautiful, but also erudite and talented, and even a business wizard. Five years after the third princess took over, the royal assets of the Eastern Continent Kingdom doubled in size.

Thinking that the three princesses ran around on weekdays, going back and forth between various cities in the Eastern Continent Kingdom, and often carried out foreign trade on behalf of the Eastern Continent Kingdom, so there were many times when they left the country, Ma Fan couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

Immediately, Ma Fan followed the flow of people and came to the City Lord's Mansion of Songzhou City to sign up.

Unexpectedly, outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there was already a queue of hundreds of meters.

It seems that there are really many people who want to reach the sky in one step.

Ma Fan lined up at the back of the line, slowly moving towards the door.

Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion has already taken measures to deal with the registration of so many people, and two additional registration points have been opened temporarily.

So, soon Ma Fan signed up.

Ma Fan's background is the clutch door.

No way, because all applicants must fill in their origins.

Soon, the time came.

By the end of the day, more than 1,000 people had come to sign up for the accompanying account office.

This is a temporary notice posted this morning. If the third princess has more time to stay in Germany, there will definitely be more people to sign up.

"More than 1,000 to 1, this is just up to the admission ratio of the Dahua National Examination! Could it be that the employment situation in the Eastern Continent is also so severe? Ma Fan couldn't help but make a joke to himself. He certainly doesn't think so. The reason why so many people came to sign up was completely for the third princess.

In the city lord's mansion of Songzhou City, the city lord Duanmu Xu is sitting in the main hall with the third princess.

"The third princess of Qiyu, now that the registration has closed, this is the roster ............."

"How many people have signed up?" A woman in red, seated in the main seat, asked.

The girl wore a black veil, and a pair of eyebrows were shining. The lower end of the hair is high in a bun, and the long silky hair hangs down the nape of the neck, glowing with a full and bright sheen.

"A total of 1,238 people have signed up ..............," Duanmu Xu, the city lord, replied excitedly.

"So much?" The third princess obviously didn't expect so many people to sign up.

"Third princess, look at today's exam.............. How should it be done? Duanmu Xu asked. It was the first time that Songzhou City had encountered such a situation, and Duanmu Xu was a little undecided.

"It's also simple............ There are three processes for the exam, one of which is the written test, and the questions in this kind of exam should be set up very well................ The first process eliminated eight adults, and the remaining two hundred people entered the second process............" The third princess said confidently.

"What about the second process?"

"In the second process, a time-limited mental arithmetic session is set up, and I personally write the questions, and more than 200 applicants need to answer within half an hour............. In this link, it is estimated that the vast majority of applicants will be eliminated.............."

"The rest of the recruits will go through the final third process?"

"Yes, the last part is the on-site mock bookkeeping, and whoever makes the most compliant accounts as quickly as possible will be the winner............ The final winner will become my entourage bookkeeper.............." The third princess really reacted quickly.

"The third princess is really smart, and the city lord is so admirable!" Duanmu Xu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the third princess.

Obviously, Duanmu Xu and the third princess are very familiar with each other.

The third princess has made up her mind, and she should start preparing for the written exam.

As early as more than 1,000 years ago, the Eastern Continent Kingdom broke away from the imperial examination system that was prevalent in Dahua at that time, and instead adopted the examination system of both arts and sciences, so the Eastern Continent Kingdom has always encouraged the development of handicrafts. At present, many light industries in the Eastern Continent are ahead of the other countries in the territory of Lixu.

However, due to the fact that the cultivators in the territory of Lixu have always been dominant, even if the handicraft industry is relatively developed, it still cannot occupy a dominant position.

After all, the skilled craftsmen of the Eastern Continent Country are just trying to survive after all. The wealth of society has been concentrated in the hands of a small number of rulers, who have spent the accumulated wealth on cultivation, including most of the wealth used to pay tribute to the Xiuzhen sect in exchange for the protection of the sect. There is also a part of the wealth that is used to exchange cultivation resources, such as spirit stones, pills, etc., to extend the lifespan of these rulers.

Of course, a small number of these rulers also joined the Xiuzhen sect.

And the royal family of the Eastern Continent Kingdom, where the third princess is located, is exactly such a model.

The third princess did not like to cultivate the truth since she was a child, but showed an amazing talent in business, so the lord of the Eastern Continent was also happy to hand over the royal assets to the third princess to take care of.

The third princess has participated in many royal talent selections since she was a child, so she is indeed familiar with this aspect.

Soon, the third princess prepared the topic of this competition.

There are a total of 10 questions in the competition, all of which are related to mathematics-level business management.

The light industry of the Eastern Continent is developed, and papermaking and printing have long been the leading in the territory of Lixu, not only inventing the printing paper comparable to the human world, but also inventing the most advanced cylinder mimeograph machine in the Lixu realm.

Of course, this cylinder mimeograph machine is manual.

Despite this, when Ma Fan saw the test paper in his hand, he was still a little stunned.

The familiar smell of ink, the wax engraving of steel needles, and the white exam paper, everything made Ma Fan feel like he was back when he was a child.

When he was a child, Ma Fan's test papers for each exam were engraved on wax paper with a steel needle and then printed with a mimeograph machine.

Ma Fan didn't expect that this Eastern Continent country would have such an advanced printing technology, and it was not as in-place in industrial technology as it was more than a thousand years ago.

However, when Ma Fan saw these exam questions clearly, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

These questions are completely elementary school level arithmetic problems!

Ma Fan picked up the pen, only to find that the pen issued by the City Lord's Mansion of Songzhou City turned out to be a fountain pen!

Although the shape is far less refined than the fountain pen in the human world, the practicality is not bad at all.

Ma Fan picked up the pen and began to answer the questions on the test paper.

In less than ten minutes, Ma Fan handed in the test paper.

However, to Ma Fan's surprise, after the first round of exams, Ma Fan didn't see his name on the list!

Only the last line on the list is a row of inexplicable words: "There is another person, the results are to be determined." ”

"What does this mean? Who's to be determined? Is it me? Countless candidates who failed the list were disappointed, but when they saw the last line, they couldn't help but have hope in their hearts.

And Ma Fan was also puzzled.

Did you fall off the list? Ma Fan absolutely did not believe that he would answer incorrectly.

At best, there are two questions at the sixth grade level, and the calculation process is slightly more complicated, and the numbers are slightly larger. But none of this was difficult for Ma Fan.

At the same time, the third princess was holding a strange test paper in her hand, and the city lord and the two were puzzled.

This test paper is Ma Fan's test paper.

"Who is this Ma Fan? Why haven't we seen all these strange symbols he wrote? The third princess looked at the test paper again and again.

It turned out that all the calculations on Ma Fan's test papers were written in Arabic numerals.

Arabic numerals have just been introduced to Dahua for six or seven hundred years, so no one has ever seen these Arabic numerals in the territory of Lixu.

"Third princess, this test paper is neat and tidy, and it doesn't seem to be scribbling, so I think it's ............ Did you call this person named Ma Fan in and ask what it was? City Lord Duanmu Xu said.

"Okay, come in!" The third princess nodded.

When Ma Fan was puzzled in front of the list, an official came out and shouted: "Who is Ma Fan?" Who is Marfan? ”

"I'm Ma Fan!" Ma Fan stepped forward and replied. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear and reached the ears of the officials.

The official followed the voice and saw a young man with starry eyes and eyebrows raising his hand.

As soon as he saw Ma Fan, who had an extraordinary bearing, the official had an excellent impression in his heart.

"You're Ma Fan? Then come with me! After the official finished speaking, he turned around and walked inside.

Ma Fan followed closely and followed the official messenger towards the main hall inside.
