Chapter 559 Romanian Empire
"Sir, we won," the adjutant said to Woick.

"Yeah, we won."

Woick looked at the Jews running away in panic and thought they were very powerful, but this was the result.

"By order of His Majesty, all Jews shall be arrested and those who resist shall be killed on the spot. No one shall escape."

Roman soldiers began to attack Idlib. The Jews, who had experienced the baptism of fire, felt hopeless and prepared to defend their last dignity.

They began to take their own lives, because they could not commit suicide, so they commissioned others to kill them, and also killed those residents who were not Jews, and then set fire everywhere, burning everything.

A rebellion caused by the Jews ended like this, but the impact he caused continued. The expulsion and arrest of Jews in Rome continued, and some people fled to Poland and Lithuania to seek asylum. Władysław naturally allowed them, after all, they could increase their income. Vilnius became an important refuge for them.

Idlib was destroyed, and Woick began writing documents to send to Constantinople. This time, there would surely be more rewards for quelling the rebellion.

----------

Alexander was asked by his father to come and inspect the examination situation on his behalf. Because the demand for officials has increased in recent years, the empire has to select civil servants through examinations every year. The examination time is concentrated in October, because this time is the slack season for farming, and the people have enough time to prepare.

Anyone who is willing to participate will pay attention to the news in this regard and make preparations in advance. Before coming to Constantinople for the assessment, they must first obtain a certificate from their city of residence to confirm their identity and to ensure that they are good and law-abiding citizens. This will ensure that they will not commit crimes in the future.

"What if the local city hall people took bribes and concealed his illegal record?" Alexander asked the person next to him. For a country as vast as the Roman Empire, the prince was very interested in how to strengthen supervision over officials in remote areas.

"Even if he deceives the examiner this time and successfully becomes an official, Your Highness, don't forget that we still have inspectors who monitor the behavior of officials, as well as citizens who are familiar with the law. They can report to the City Hall and the Senate at any time. By then, not only will this person be severely punished, but we can also use the certificate issued at the time that is kept in his file to investigate the responsibility of the officials who concealed the truth for him."

Alexander arrived at the court examination site. The room was large, with nearly a hundred wooden tables on the floor. It was almost full of candidates, but it was unusually quiet. Only the examiner sitting on the podium simulated the defendant in the court, deliberately telling "his own experience" in a disjointed and illogical manner.

The candidates had to write a fluent court record according to his narration, so no one looked up at them, and they all listened carefully. In addition, there were three examiners patrolling the examination room to prevent cheating.

Alexander looked at their serious expressions and felt that it was not easy for them. There was a severe shortage of officials in the northern region, so there were many places for admission, and because of this, many people signed up.

Then he went to the examination room for administrative officials. People here need to write an essay based on the place they signed up for, and of course they have to be interviewed by His Majesty the Emperor before they can be officially passed. "Such an official selection is naturally a lot of work, but compared to the hereditary and decentralized system in France, this can not only ensure the ability of officials, but also make the people loyal to the empire. This is an opportunity to change the family, and they will not miss it.

By the way, I seemed to have seen someone with a different skin color just now, where is he from?"

"Your Highness, you are talking about Maurice, right? He is from Aleppo, Syria, and was a slave who was defending Aleppo. After the surrender of the city, he became a slave of the empire. He has always performed well, and in the war to recapture Jerusalem, as a member of the baggage team, he also made great contributions, and therefore gained his freedom.

According to the letter of certification issued by the Aleppo City Hall, "Over the years, he has served as a laborer in the Aleppo court and a cleaner in the library and has always performed well. The money he earned was either used to learn knowledge in adult classes at school or to read books in the library. If he can become a judge, it will set an example for others. Any official position in the empire is open to people of any birth, as long as they work hard enough!"

These made Alexander feel that the empire was different from other countries. The empire was willing to invest in education and culture, and encouraged the people to increase their children's education so that the next generation would be excellent people.

Secondly, although the empire emphasized the role of law, it actually emphasized moral education more. Guiding the people to cherish marriage and family played a very important role in the stability of the empire.

In addition, the empire also achieved fairness in the distribution of property. Everyone was able to receive land and other property rewards based on their contributions, rather than letting most of the empire's public property be earned by the nobles and the rich.

After the inspection, Alexander came to the center of the empire, in front of the Hagia Sophia, where his parents were receiving cheers and support from the people.

Peter wanted to speak in person, but in order to maintain the mystery, he let the crier speak for him.

“My fellow Romanian people, in the past 20 years since the establishment of the empire, we have encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but under the blessing of God and the concerted efforts of all, we have overcome one difficulty after another.

Once upon a time, our flag was trampled on, our land was occupied, everything was so strange, but fortunately, the people of this country have not surrendered. More than 50 years of national restoration and hundreds of years of perseverance have created Romania. Today, we can proudly say that Romania has become a powerful empire. Not only are we not afraid of any enemy's challenge, but we will also provide support and protection to any country and force that wants to make friends with us! "

"God is very pleased with all the achievements made by Romania. He will continue to bless the people of the empire. Any enemy who dares to offend the empire will be punished and cursed as if they have directly violated God's territory!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous cheers broke out inside and outside the square: "Long live the Romanian Empire!!!"

"Long live the emperor!!!"

This was their era, a brand new era. And all of this was created by his father, the great and invincible Emperor Peter. Who wouldn't love him?
