After a moment of silence, only a few students raised their hands.
"Um... can I eat these things without joining the Ministry of Transportation?"
The crowd watching in the audience suddenly burst into good-natured laughter.
"Hey, it doesn't seem to work that well." Qian Yan turned to Fang Yanni and stuck out her tongue. The latter's cheeks were red and he quickly pulled the little girl and ran off the stage.
"It seems that this department is not well known by everyone." Luo Youer added with a smile, "In fact, the ice ships that can be seen everywhere in Jiujiang, as well as the fresh seafood that everyone can eat at any time, are all related to the Ministry of Transportation . At present, their main work is still concentrated in Shenzhou, which is a decent and comfortable position. If you are interested, you may wish to find out more about Miss Fang later. Then let’s invite the person in charge of the Privy Council to take the stage! "
Afterwards, the chief officials of the Privy Council, the Ministry of Food and the Ministry of Civil Affairs appeared one after another. Among them, the new head of the Privy Council, Yan Qing, directly attracted Gan, Yu Linglong, Weihuang and others. The appearance of a group of high-level alchemists greatly shocked the teenage graduates, and several people expressed their intention to join the Privy Council on the spot.
However, Wei Wushuang, the chief officer of the Ministry of Grain, and Hong Siqi, the chief officer of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who relied solely on their own efforts to recruit people, had nothing to gain.
The last person to take the stage was Mo Yun, the director of the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.
She looked at everyone, cleared her throat and said, "I think everyone knows what the Machine Building Bureau is, so I won't introduce it in detail. In short, it doesn't matter if the Machine Building Bureau recruits people without looking at their xinxing attributes. It seems that the applicants have a professional background, but applicants must take a special examination, and only those with passing scores can be selected. Moreover, the bureau has many projects and long working hours, which cannot be regarded as a leisurely job, so you can just take care of it yourself-"
However, before she finished speaking, almost all the students raised their hands.
"Master Mo, I want to try it!"
"Excuse me, do you still need people to test the machine beast?"
"Sir, I hope to become a researcher at the Weapons Institute!"
Mo Yun did not expect that the students would be so enthusiastic, and she was a little distracted for a moment - she originally thought that she was just going through the motions and supporting the new policy formulated by Xia Fan. As for competing with other departments, it is not within her consideration. After all, Noah and the elves on the Silver Star Tree Boat are stable sources of life for the Mechanism Bureau, and there is no need for her to include all Qi Sensers under her banner.
"I didn't expect that woman's appeal to be higher than mine. It seems that idols themselves have their limits." Chi in the audience muttered softly.
"Sister Mo Yun is not the only one competing with you." Luo Youer chuckled, "Everyone in Jinxia knows that the things developed by the Mechanism Bureau are the key to defeating the invading enemies and changing the current situation of the city, not to mention that they often visit us on weekdays. Either Xia Fan or Her Royal Highness is responsible for the Machine Building Bureau, so even if Sister Mo Yun does nothing, the Machine Building Bureau will be the place that graduates most yearn for."
At this point, she stepped forward and raised her voice and said, "In that case, Mr. Mo will just conduct the exam directly. Everyone is here anyway. I remember that the exam paper only takes half an hour to complete, right? In this way, everyone can also I can go to the department I want to go to without any regrets.”
Luo Youer's proposal was quickly approved by the Secretariat.
In the end, 11 out of the 45 people passed the assessment and joined the Mechanism Bureau, and the Propaganda Department became the biggest winner, accepting a total of 24 graduates. The Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Privy Council were allocated five people each. Although it was not enough, it was a substantial harvest compared to the Ministry of Food and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which were ignored below.
The first school graduation ceremony ended with lively discussions among the crowd.
But before Mo Yun could take a breath, Yan Qing came to her and said, "Miss Mo, the Privy Council has noticed that there are some abnormalities at the Shenliu border. I wonder if I can delay your time?"
She sighed silently, "I understand, please take me there."
Walking into the Privy Council - the original meeting hall of the Privy Council Office, Mo Yun noticed that Qian and others had gathered in the hall. The enthusiasm and ease with which they recruited students just now have disappeared at this moment, and the atmosphere in the room can even be described as chilling.
Mo Yun shivered uncontrollably.
This feeling was not new to her. Ning Wanjun would occasionally give her the same feeling when she mentioned the war and the court, but even though she had experienced it many times, it was difficult for her to get used to this solemn atmosphere.
Of course, as the current acting guard of Jinxia City, Mo Yun clearly knew that she could not decide what to do based on personal preferences - so after she sat down on the main seat, she nodded to everyone in the calmest voice possible, "You can start."
"Let me explain the situation briefly." Lockweaver Yan Qing was the first to speak. "Just yesterday, the Secretariat received a distress message from the Shenliu border. The message was brought by fleeing villagers, saying that their village There is an evil spirit in human form. Based on its description, it can be basically speculated that it is a demon or a ghost."
Such news was quite rare in the past, but there have been a lot more in the past month and a half. Mo Yun also understood the reason. The war between the Privy Council and Jin Xia caused a significant increase in the number of abnormal deaths in Shenzhou - even though the princess and Xia Fan took countermeasures to clear towns and evacuate people, and defeated all states in a very short time. The coalition forces have minimized the impact of war disasters, but some omissions are still inevitable. Whether it is an unknown village that few people notice or the exiled soldiers who escaped alone, it is easy to add several tragedies to Shenzhou.
The main responsibility of the Privy Council is to eliminate evil threats within the territory. In the past, the main personnel responsible for this task were Zhao Dahai and Li Xing. However, the latter gradually returned to his profession and concentrated on handling public security cases, while the former did not want to live the life of an official who left early and returned late. Therefore, the core members of the Gyeonggi Privy Council took refuge in Jinxia. , Xia Fan simply asked Yan Qing to take over the work of the Privy Council.
Nowadays, the Jinxia Privy Council has a fleet of feathered green swords. Killing evil spirits is undoubtedly something they are familiar with, and it should not be notified to the level of the princess or Xia Fan. Therefore, Mo Yun had a vague premonition that this evil incident might be unusual.
"But during the inquiry with the Anshen City Branch, I noticed a problem, that is, the villagers described it too carefully." Sure enough, Yan Qing continued, "It is difficult for ordinary people to stay calm when facing ghosts. Being scared out of your wits on the spot is considered daring, let alone having the courage to observe the evil spirit carefully. So I commissioned the Fang family to conduct a divination to determine the credibility of the news."
"What's the result?" Mo Yun asked subconsciously.
Yan Qing chuckled lightly, "The hexagram indicates bad luck."
"This is not something that a ghost can do," Mo Yun immediately discovered the problem. "Only a great demon or a ghost can pose a threat to a guard-level alchemist."
And based on the current lineup of the Privy Council, at least one guard or Qing Jian can be arranged to lead every attack.
"That's right." Yan Qing said decisively, "The threat of this matter comes from another source."
