My British Empire

Chapter 121 Registration Office

ps: Today is a holiday, so happy, please vote, please collect!

Walking into the inn, what appeared in front of the three of Su Weier was not a beautiful waiter, nor a high-end and luxurious decoration.

There are none of these, only a long queue, a queue waiting in line.

Most of the team are young people like them, and they all look very polite. They know that these are the opponents they are about to face.

The three of them had no choice but to choose to line up behind silently.

Fortunately, the speed was very fast. After the three of them waited for five minutes, it was their turn.

"Sir, how many of you are there?" An ordinary-looking girl sat at the counter and asked Su Weier and the others softly.

Although there were still some sawdust on the counter, which affected the mood of Su Weier and others, they still had some manners.

"Miss, three, three rooms!" Wilson, who has the better language skills among the three, said.

"Okay, sir, how long do you need to stay?"

"Let's live for a month first! How much do we need each?"

Wilson thought about it, and finally decided to book for one month, and then just renew the lease after the expiration.

"Good sir, according to the standard of five pence per day, it is six shillings plus six pence a month. Since you are three people together and you are renting for a relatively long time, you only need six shillings per person! "

The receptionist at the counter showed a pleasant smile, and quietly calculated the accounts for the three of them.

The three of them discussed for a while, although they felt that the price was a bit unacceptable, but this is in London, and the general price is probably the same.

The three of them reluctantly paid six shillings, their faces full of heartache, but the smile on the face of the receptionist at the counter became brighter and brighter.

You know, in this era when the middle class in society like farmers and Jomannons only have an annual income of fifty or sixty pounds, six shillings can be said to be a yearly surplus for ordinary families.

Looking at the key, led by the male waiter, came to the room where the three belonged.

"Sir, these three rooms are your rooms, please keep the keys safe!"

Pointing to the three adjacent rooms, the waiter left automatically after finishing speaking.

"Okay! See you tomorrow, brothers!" Su Weier shrugged at Kelerou and Wilson, tilting his head and said.

"See you tomorrow, Suwell!" "Me too!" Wilson and Klerou nodded one after another.

Open the wooden door, a wooden bed appeared in Suweier's eyes, plus a wooden table, and a large wooden cabinet, this is all the equipment in this room.

Taking out the linen quilt and a wooden pillow from the wooden cabinet, Su Weier directly threw the package in his hand into the wooden cabinet, and then lay down on the bed.

The next day, Su Weier got up to rinse his mouth, and woke up the other two who were still sleeping. The three went directly to the hall to start breakfast.

Eating bread, the three chatted about some scenery and legends they saw on the road.

"Let me tell you, aren't we going to pass the exam this time?"

"The content of this exam was determined by His Majesty the King himself!"

At the table beside them, four young people in their twenties chatted while eating.

England at this time is not as strict as later generations when eating, but eating and chatting like the Chinese, which is also a way for them to promote relations.

Among them, a guy who looked bolder said loudly, as if he was very proud of knowing this.

"Tch, Bud, when we went to sign up yesterday, wasn't that what was posted on the notification board? You think we can't read!"

Sitting on the side, one of the smart-looking guys mercilessly hit him, not giving him face at all.

"Hahaha! I'm afraid that the two of them won't see it! Now that everyone knows it, I won't say it!"

The young man named Bud touched his head and smiled to ease his embarrassment.

While the words were unintentional, the listeners were interested, but the three Suwei people on the side were very excited when they heard it. They felt that it was worthwhile for them to come back.

"Hey! Souville, Kelerou, do you hear me clearly? This time His Majesty the King personally set the test! His Majesty the King attaches great importance to this recruitment exam!"

Wilson said happily, a feeling of honor poured into his chest.

"Hey, you have to figure it out, it seems that you have to sign up for this exam!"

Su Weier held back the excitement in his heart, and interrupted Wilson who was full of excitement.

"Yes! We seem to have not signed up yet!"

Klerou, who was belatedly bewildered, shouted in shock.

"Suwell, Wilson, let's sign up quickly, or it will be too late!"

Klelu picked up the bread in front of him, looking like he was dispatched urgently.

"Klelu, don't rush this moment, let's go after eating!"

Su Weier held the anxious Keleru and said.

"Suwell, let's eat while walking, go early and come back early!"

Wilson shook his head when he saw this, and immediately persuaded Su Weier.

Su Weier had no choice but to compromise, and walked with the two.

At this time, His Majesty the King of England is inspecting the cleaning results of the London City Government.

"Your Majesty, look, this place used to be a dump of rubbish, but now it is as clean as a mirror, and there are no more flies flying around!"

Mayor William pointed to the corner of the street ahead, and said to Edward beside him.

Edward looked along his fingers, and the alleys that used to be full of excrement and urine now seemed to have been washed by water, revealing the original bottom stone slabs.

The weather-beaten stone slabs are unevenly arranged, some are broken, some are raised, and some are full of grass and weeds between the stone slabs.

In short, the original disgusting dung gathering place finally revealed its true face at this time.

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent people from urinating everywhere, I not only built toilets in some corners!"

"Moreover, I also set up a duty system and ordered the personnel of the City Management Office to patrol normally. Every time we catch a person, we will let him disturb the toilet for a day!"

Mayor William spoke respectfully in front of Edward, but there was still a smug expression on his face.

Edward heard this, and immediately looked at a few middle-aged men in obvious uniforms who were walking around with a rapier on the street, and glanced at them.

Although these people looked like hooligans, Edward could only accept it.

"My Lord Mayor, train these people in the future, don't keep looking at them, they are like hooligans, and they will damage the image of the city government!"

Edward made comments casually, but there was still a look of approval on his face.

"Mr. Mayor, your arrangement is quite good so far, this is a good idea!"

With that said, the two came to the registration point.

The registration point is located in the West End of London, which is the same as the test location.

This was originally a ruined church on fire, and then our Mayor William used the waste to become a test place for these young people who came to take the exam.

"Your Majesty, look, this was originally a church, but now it has been razed, and I sent people to build these wooden sheds!"

Edward followed the fingers of Mayor William, got out of the carriage, and looked at the place full of grass in front of him.

There are still a few remains of the burned church on the flat ground, and the angel with wings can be vaguely seen on the wall, and there is also a wreckage of the old man who is missing an arm.

On the wreckage, small wooden compartments were erected. The compartments were surrounded by walls on three sides, and the exit was covered by a piece of linen.

The compartment is about six feet high and five feet wide, with an unobstructed view.

There is a table and a chair in the compartment, although there is a branch and a few green leaves on the table and chair.

Such compartments are arranged in rows, each compartment is three feet apart, very regular.

Edward took a visual inspection and found that there are more than a thousand of these cubicles, and they are neatly placed there, which is quite spectacular.

Although Mayor William did this to save money, it is very similar to the imperial examination room in ancient China.

"My Mr. Mayor, you are also your masterpiece!"

Edward glanced at Mayor William, who was a little embarrassed to see others, and said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord, you know that the city government really doesn't have much money!"

Regarding this pot, William did not hesitate to recite it, but instead he poured bitter water in front of Edward.

"Okay, I know you are poor, but this time I will spare you, next time I will build them into stone bricks!"

"There are a lot of fires in London!"

Edward reminded casually, and then looked at the registration office not far away where people came and went.

Regarding this point, William felt very sympathetic, and the fire in London could not be described in a single sentence.

In fact, since the buildings and houses in London are all wooden structures, the number of fires that occur every year is beyond calculation, and Londoners have turned a blind eye to them.

The plague and fire are problems that Londoners often face.

The registration point is located at the upper left of the test site, which is the back door of the original church, about half a mile away from Edward's current location.

Edward was going out in normal clothes at this time, and so was Mayor William behind him, so no one bothered him.

Just as he was about to move his legs, a pair of hands patted Edward on the shoulder.

"Hey, sir, do you know where the registration office is?"

He was patted on the shoulder, and Edward was stunned for a while. Since he came to England, no one has patted him on the shoulder except Elizabeth.

Edward stopped the guards who were about to come not far away with his eyes, and also stopped Mayor William who was on the side.

"In front, go by yourself!" Edward turned around and said indifferently, his eyes were very flat.

"Okay, sir, thank you!" Su Weier, who was on the side, noticed something was wrong at this moment, and pulled Wilson away who was about to have a big talk.

"Your Majesty..." Mayor William hurried over and asked softly.

"Nothing! Continue!"
