Chapter One Hundred and Four: The Law - Arthur
In the examination room, Arthur found his seat according to the number plate and sat down leisurely. After a while, a soldier came up to him with a test paper and a pen and paper and placed it on his desk.
"Start answering questions!"
After all the candidates had received their test papers, the officer who assisted Allen in invigilating the exam shouted loudly.
Arthur picked up the test paper and found that the re-examination paper was different from the first test paper, with a large blank space and only a question written at the top.
"If you were given a town, how would you govern?"
This topic was unexpected by Arthur, but it was reasonable.
Arthur wrote his name on the test paper, thought for a moment, smiled confidently, and began to answer.
"The law is the foundation of the land. ”
Arthur took the pen and answered on the test paper, all in one go, without the slightest pause.
Although Arthur was well versed in many things, the one he was most interested in and studied most deeply was the law. Even over the years, in his spare time, Arthur compiled a code of law on his own.
If Arthur is placed in the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China and the Warring States Period, he is a proper Legalist.
Arthur wrote all his legal ideas on the test paper, his thoughts were flying, and he wrote quickly, and when he finished answering the questions, he found that the time had passed less than an hour.
You must know that the time for this re-examination is three hours, and other candidates are still immersed in answering questions, and even some candidates are still thinking and have not put down their pens.
Arthur read what he had written again, thought for a moment, picked up the paper and walked out of his cubicle. Now that you've finished answering the questions and there's nothing to revise, there's no point in continuing to sit here.
Alan was sitting on the high platform in the school yard at this time, and although the candidates in the audience were all in the cubicle, Allen's location could give them a clear view.
Suddenly, Alan saw a candidate stand up, pick up the test paper on the table, and walk towards the high platform, and after a closer look, it was Arthur.
Alan was a little surprised, did Arthur finish the questionnaire so quickly?
Sure enough, Arthur handed the exam paper to the soldiers in charge of collecting the papers, and then left the examination room under the guidance of the other soldiers.
"Bring up his papers. ”
Alan said to one of the guards beside him.
The guards stepped down from the platform, asked the soldiers for Arthur's answers, returned to Allen, and handed them to Allen.
Alan unfolded Arthur's answer, and the word law came into view.
Reading it carefully, Arthur writes about how to make detailed, reasonable laws and rely on them to govern his territory.
If Alan is asked to summarize Arthur's thoughts with what he learned in middle school politics, that is, to rule according to the law, so that there is a law to follow, there is a law to follow, the law must be strictly enforced, and the law must be investigated.
After reading Arthur's answer, Alan smiled lightly, not thinking that Arthur was still a talent in law. But it just so happens that the territory is in need of this kind of talent right now.
Alan had thought about formulating his own laws in the territory and establishing his own law department a few months ago, but this was delayed because the territory was busy expanding some time ago.
The laws of the kingdom are too biased towards the nobility, and the interests of the commoners are not guaranteed, these laws are simply worthless in the eyes of Allen, and it is simply impossible for Allen to govern the territory according to the laws of the kingdom!
For example, it is like a conflict between Arthur and the aristocratic youth a few days ago, if Alan is judged according to the laws of the kingdom, Arthur will be arrested and beaten half to death!
This kind of law is obviously unacceptable to Allen.
Since Arthur is proficient in the law, he might as well set up a special law department in the territory and hand it over to Arthur to reformulate the laws of the territory, and at the same time openly hear all legal cases in the territory.
However, there is no urgency in this matter, and you can wait until the end of the retest.
Time passed minute by minute, and candidates continued to finish answering questions and hand in the test papers. Alan didn't rush to read the later test papers, and was ready to review them in the future.
Three hours passed quickly, and at the end of the exam, all the candidates handed in their papers.
"The notice goes down, and the results of the exam will be announced on the 12th of this month. ”
Alan said to the officer who assisted him, and after speaking, he left the examination room with the guards and the test papers.
From today to the twelfth, there are more than six days, and it doesn't take such a long time to mark the 99 test papers, one or two days is enough.
The reason why he stayed out for so long was because Alan had other things to deal with, and that was to investigate the detailed identity background of the candidates who passed the retest.
The candidates who pass the re-examination, Allen has to be entrusted with important tasks, basically the head of a town, in case it is a spy of other forces or a person with a bad purpose, but Allen does not know, then the consequences will be serious.
Therefore, the identity of the candidate must be investigated clearly, and it must be innocent!
In the next two days, Alan has been reviewing the test papers and practicing, and the progress of the review papers is similar to what Allen expected, and on the afternoon of the seventh day, he finished reviewing all the test papers.
I have to say that these candidates who took the exam have very different ideas, some are eye-catching, some are bland, some are more extreme, and some are childish and make people laugh and cry. In addition to Arthur, Allen selected ten candidates who were closer to him in terms of the concept of governing the territory, and decided to hand over the ten towns outside the Huaxia Territory to them to govern.
In other words, there are a total of eleven people who have passed the retest.
As for those who failed the retest, Allen decided to let them stay in Huaxia Town for training along with the more than 100 people selected before, and become reserve officials of Huaxia Ling.
For example, when the law department is established, branches will be set up in each town, and the officials of these branches can be selected from among these people.
In fact, Alan has a big plan for the establishment of the Law Department, but the specific implementation will have to be carefully considered before a decision can be made.
Alan asked the guards to find the Noxus agents, and now there are ten Noxus agents in the territory, five of which are in Huaxia Town.
"You go your separate ways, before the eleventh, check the identity and background of these eleven people, and report to me. ”
Alan handed over the list of eleven people, including Arthur, to five Noxian agents and ordered.
"Yes, my lord!"
The five Noxus agents were ordered, and according to the towns and cities where the candidates on the list were located, they assigned each person to investigate which candidates to investigate, and then set off separately.
A few days later, the Noxus agents sent out to investigate the identity of the candidates returned to Huaxia Territory one after another, and by noon on the 11th, the last agent also returned.
The detailed information of the eleven candidates was handed over to Allen.
In addition to Arthur, the identities of the other ten candidates are all innocent, growing up in their own towns since childhood, relatives, friends, and growth experiences.
These ten people, Allen can use them with confidence, at least they will not be spies sent by other forces. However, Arthur's information is a little less bland.
According to the information found by the secret agents, Arthur arrived in the village of Mariel in the town of Kribi with an old man named Abner five years ago, and has settled in the village of Mariel since then.
Arthur calls Abner a teacher and has great respect for Abner, but the identities of Arthur and Abner before are blank, and Noxus agents can't investigate them at all.
Of course, this can't be blamed on Noxus's secret agent ability, but the strength of the Huaxia Territory itself is too weak, and it has no influence at all in the area outside the Huaxia Territory.
However, five years ago, Alan hadn't crossed over, and Huaxia Ling hadn't appeared yet, so there was no need to worry that Arthur was sent by other forces to deal with Huaxia Ling. So, Arthur is also available.
Alan handed the list of eleven people to the guards beside him: "Make a gold list, write the names of them eleven people, remember, the gold list is more gorgeous." ”
After explaining, Alan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, is this considered an otherworldly version of the title of the gold list?
Whether it is the imperial examination or the title of the gold list, it is all Allen's self-amusing prank, just a harmless joke that no one knows.
The next day, the square was full of people early, and all the 99 candidates who participated in the re-examination arrived. Because the Lord's Mansion has already been notified, this morning, the results of the examination will be announced in the square.
