People in Terra, governing a weird little country

But now, Ernst urgently needs to recruit a group of qualified civil servants to fill his government team which has been empty for a long time.

Recruitment in Kjerag must be carried out, but Ernst feels that the possibility of recruiting suitable talents is not completely impossible, but at least it can be said that the hope is slim.

It’s still the same old problem. Kjerag doesn’t have a corresponding talent training mechanism, so naturally there is no corresponding talent.

Civil service work is not like sports or mathematics, where talent can play a huge role. Civil service work in the government is to repeat boring work every day and skillfully use the three skills of "passing the buck", "appeasing", and "taking advantage of loopholes" to deal with supervision and inspections from all over.

As for getting things done, that is a job that has been "outsourced", especially for governments under a parliamentary election system.

Does this sound easy?

But the reality is never that simple. Those repetitive and unchanging jobs are the pillars that support the stable operation of this society, and the so-called three major skills are just the last resort to deal with emergencies.

After all, the government is not an individual, and it has various interest groups and demands. Maybe it was a small matter like A hitting B's dog. If it were an ordinary family, A would just apologize to B and that would be the end of the matter. But in a large group, to solve this matter, we need to consider whether A has an instigator, who is he, who is B, what breed is B's dog, who is behind it, whether there is a C who will profit from it, and so on.

When a government finally sorts out these rules and regulations, allocates interest groups, and is ready to start doing practical things, oh no! It's time for the election!

At this time, you suddenly realize that you did nothing while in office, and were only busy trying to smooth things over. Once you lose the election, the government will have to be completely reshuffled, and then you have to repeat the process all over again.

Of course, Ernst's current government does not need to face these troublesome problems for the time being, because there is no one in his government.

The civil engineering lady has come to do the secret arts. Apart from hanging clothes for Ernst and carrying Ernst to run errands every day, there is nothing else she can do. It’s a good salary, isn’t it?

Anyway, as long as we can find people, we can use them, but Kjerag, it's probably hard to find people who can even do the most basic clerical work.

“It still has to go outward.”

Ernst gave instructions to Lola beside him in a serious tone.

"Offer a higher salary and spend some money to brag about it in foreign newspapers, saying that the Kjerag government is recruiting interns and welcomes all recent college graduates to submit resumes. The salary and benefits are generous, and you can become a full-time employee after working for a year."

Lola was nodding at first, but she became confused halfway through. When Ernst finished speaking, she blinked in confusion and asked:

"I understand using high salaries to attract talent, but Master Ernst, why did you say you were recruiting interns? And why did you specifically mention recruiting fresh college graduates?"

Ernst was silent for a moment, hesitating whether to tell this cruel fact.

After all, it seemed that Lola had just graduated less than a year ago.

But after thinking about it for a while, thinking that they were all his own people, Ernst replied with confidence:

“Because college students are easy to cheat.”

"To be honest, Kjerag is probably not as good as Victoria or the countryside in Columbia. My government office doesn't even have a small Originium stove, which is a bit too shabby. Ordinary people may be willing to come here for the high salary, but the real talents are unwilling to come here, no matter how high the salary I offer."

Ernst paused, looking at Lola with clear and pure eyes:

"But college students are different. There are many untapped talents among them, and they have little social experience. In addition, countries are generally in a state of internal competition, so they face great pressure to find jobs locally. If they are deceived a little and tempted by high salaries, they may come here with the mentality of 'only those who endure hardships can become successful'."

Lola looked at Ernst, then subconsciously lowered her head to look at herself who could not see her feet. She stood there in a daze with a dull expression, as if she had been greatly shocked.

After a long while, she asked with mixed feelings:

"Will they find something wrong while they are working? You want them to become permanent employees after a year, but what if they run away after a year?"

This time, Ernst turned his head away embarrassedly, looked towards the window, and whispered:

"College students mature every year."

Just like leeks, you just need to harvest one batch and replace it with another. Anyway, as long as the overall environment of the international community remains unchanged, there will be endless leeks to harvest.

After Ernst finished speaking, Lola did not respond for a long time. The office fell into an awkward silence.

Until Ernst couldn't help it and broke the deadlock:

"It's okay, Lola. You are special. You are the first college student in Kjerag. My brother is just an undergraduate, and he studied business. You are a real high-end talent. A bright future is waiting for you in the future!"

Lola pursed her lips, blinked her eyes and stared at Ernst: "Master Ernst doesn't think of me as a college student, right?"

Ernst flatly denied it, "How can I treat my own family members as leeks!"

Lola said nothing, walked forward and opened her arms.

Ernst hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth, walked up to Lola and gave her a big hug.

The girl hugged him so tightly that Ernst felt like he was being given CPR.

Is this considered workplace sexual harassment? Or is it sexual harassment of the boss!

I've sacrificed so much for Kjerag!

Ernst closed his eyes and quietly felt the warmth coming from all directions.

After a long while, Lola finally let go of her hand, a smile reappeared on her face, and she bowed slightly to Ernst:

"Then I'll do it right now!"

Ernst nodded with a smile, watched Lola's back disappear in the distance, and shuddered suddenly.

You know what, it’s a bit cold now that there’s no one to huddle together for warmth!

With 600 million yuan in funding, let’s buy a small stove first.

Chapter 23 Wang Weina

Victoria, Londinium, sunny.

The citizens of Londinium were shocked when they saw the latest news on the bulletin board about Kjerag recruiting university graduates for government civil service jobs with high salaries.

They all started discussing where Kjerag was.

People in Londinium were skeptical about the job posting.

"Government civil servants, such a good position, are actually openly recruited? Is there such a good thing?"

"I've never heard of Kjerag. Where is it? Is it far from Londinium? How big is it compared to Victoria?"

"Oh, I bet, there's no way this good thing can come from. It's probably just another scam advertisement made by that unscrupulous factory, trying to trick people into working illegally there!"

"Yes, yes. Let me tell you, my cousin's classmate is a college graduate. Some time ago, he said he got an offer to work as an electronic engineer in a city in the Tara region. The salary was very good. He went there happily. Guess what happened?"

"what happened?"

The Filmman who was speaking smacked his lips and sighed:

"Once he passed away, he lost contact with his family. When his family found him again, both of his kidneys were gone!"

"Ah! As expected, Tara is a place with poor law and order and full of bad people!"

"Otherwise, how can it be said that our Londinium's grandfather is the grandfather! When my ancestors followed Aslan Pasha into the country, they had already done all the work in my life!"

As soon as the Filin who was speaking finished his words, the Filin opposite him covered his mouth, put a finger on his lips, glanced around cautiously, and whispered: "Be careful what you say about the king's affairs!"

Feilin, who was speaking, nodded in sudden realization: "Yes, yes, yes, be careful with your words, be careful with your words."

The two carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one noticed them, they lowered their hats and quickly left the square. However, they did not notice that a golden figure on a bench at the other end of the square watched them leave, and then walked towards the notice wall.

Ever since the last King Aslan was hanged in the Parliament Square, the atmosphere of the entire Londinium has become like this.

The nobles of the city council seized power in the city, issued a ban on any grand duke entering the city without permission, and then closed the door and established their own small kingdom in Londinium.

Ruling has never been an easy task. Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps in order to quickly eliminate the king's influence and prevent any possibility of rebellion, the city council spread spies throughout the city to monitor people's every word and action, especially information about the "king".

All of a sudden, a word that was once recited by countless people every day has now become a taboo word.

Vina felt very sad and confused about this.

When the nobles in the city rebelled and the king was imprisoned, Vina, as Aslan's blood, was secretly sent out of the palace by the royalists loyal to the king and hid among the people.

The indiscriminate massacre of all Aslan in the palace that followed made her, who was still young at the time, possibly the last descendant of Aslan.

She changed her real name, Alexandria Victoria, to Vina, and became an inconspicuous street wanderer in Londinium.

There were so many homeless people like her in the slums of Londinium, and no one paid attention to her, so she was able to grow up slowly until today.

The neighborhood where she originally lived was invaded by nearby gangs. Fierce fighting between local gangs caused a fire that burned down Vina's small apartment, forcing her to move.

She had intended to try her luck in the plot governed by the Glasgow Gang in the East End, but as she passed by the square, she happened to overhear a conversation between two people in front of the notice wall.

"Recruiting civil servants, those who can read and write are preferred, those who understand government work and have a certain literary foundation are strongly welcome, and fresh college graduates are also welcome to apply, with guaranteed salary, and the larger the number, the better..."

Vina silently read the contents of the recruitment notice in her mind and couldn't help but smile.

Although she had no experience in finding a proper job, either in the past or now, she could still see that the recruitment notice was suspicious.

Judging from the standards of government civil servants, isn't the requirement of just being able to read and write a bit too low?

Besides, which government would recruit recent college graduates?

In Vina's impression, when her father was still alive, all the civil servants she met were middle-aged, fat and bald, with cunning eyes and a lot of nonsense. Which of these conditions has anything to do with college students?

There are discounts for larger quantities. If you don’t know, you might think you are buying vegetables or doing wholesale!

Vina shook her head. No wonder the two film people were pointing and criticizing the recruitment advertisement. It seemed that they were right. This thing was either luring people to work in illegal factories or tricking people into making money.

Vina looked at the recruiting company again and frowned again.

"Shelagh?"

Unlike the two Victorians who had just asked directly where Shelagh was from, Vina had some impression of the name.

Kjerag, this place doesn't seem to be within Victoria, right?

This seems to be another country, northwest of Victoria, and it seems that the whole country believes in an unknown religion?

Vina rubbed her temples, unable to recall any other memories.

There was nothing she could do about it. Her impression of Kjerag came from the Terra geography course her royal tutor taught her when she was a child. At the time, she had no interest in geography at all and basically skipped the class or played around.

At this moment, she seemed to have crossed the world and experienced what some Chinese students felt during exams.

Good news, the teacher has explained this question.

Bad news, I fell asleep in that class.

Just as Vina was racking her brains to struggle with her memory, a voice came from not far away.

"Hey, there lady over there, what do you do?"

Vina suddenly came back to her senses, turned her head slightly, and looked behind her out of the corner of her eye. A girl in a mounted police uniform was walking towards her.

Is there any need to ask? No matter if she saw through her disguise and recognized her as Aslan, or came to investigate the gang fight and fire that happened a few days ago, Vina must not be caught by her, let alone go back to the police station in Londinium with her!

Once you enter the police station, it will be difficult to get out!

In a hurry, Vina had no time to hesitate. She reached out and tore off the recruitment notice on the wall, then turned and ran.

Behind her, the shouts of the mounted police faded away.

Standing in front of the notice wall, Mounted Policeman Grani stopped and felt confused, and curled his lips:

"Am I that scary? Can I just scare people away by doing an anti-fraud campaign?"

Chapter 24: Kjerag’s first funded trip!

Corner Bookshop, Londinium, Victoria.

After stopping at the corner and looking back for a few minutes to confirm that no one was following, Vina breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bookstore she often visited.

The bookstore manager, Goldin, was a young and beautiful teacher who worked at San Marceau Elementary School on weekdays and stayed in the bookstore on weekends and holidays. Vina had not seen Goldin many times, and her only impression of her was that she was a lady with long light gray hair and a somewhat pessimistic personality.

After all, in Victoria, not many people would decorate their bodies with lilies - in Victoria, it was a symbol of death.

Today is a weekday, Golding is not in the bookstore, and there are not many people in the store. During this time, most of the people who have nothing to do will sit in the bookstore for a while to kill time.

Vina walked around the bookstore, skillfully found the shelf with geography books, searched through them one by one, and finally found a book called Kjerag Customs in the corner.

With the help of the public Terra map on the bookshelf, Vina finally found Kjerag's location.

"Shelagh is located between Casimir, Victoria, and Columbia, surrounded by mountains. Most of its people believe in the Yelagund religion and firmly believe that the god named Yelagund created Shelagh. However, unlike the Lateran religion and other sects, Yelagund believers do not have a strong desire to preach. Shelagh people are also mostly closed and conservative. To this day, the religious institution Manzhuyuan is still in nominal rule, and the three major families are actually managing it."

"Manzhuyuan..." Vina frowned and took out the crumpled recruitment notice from the pocket of her leather pants. "It says Kjerag Government."

"Is he really a liar?"

She sighed in disappointment.

To be honest, although the content of this job posting seemed like a joke from any angle, she did have great hopes for it.

She didn't want to stay in Londinium anymore, and if she could help it, she didn't even want to stay in Victoria.

It was too dangerous here. She was tired of the fear of being spotted by mounted police when walking down the street, or being caught and killed by the parliamentary nobles at any time, just like what happened just now.

She wants to live a peaceful life.
