this day.
The results of the final interviews for the selection of the mayor and other officials were finally posted, quickly posted by soldiers on the wall outside the Wisas exam hall, and announced by a priest.
Even though Wiener had enough confidence in himself, he never thought that he would be able to get the first place in the exam.
When you see the results.
Wiener almost couldn't maintain his facial expression, and shouted gaffe in front of so many people.
But he is also very excited and excited now, and it is hard to restrain, and it looks like he wants to jump out for a few laps to celebrate and then come back.
Wiener resisted the urge in his throat and said with a trembling voice, "Have you seen Nat? Did you see it?! We both passed the exam!"
Nat did the same, tremblingly: "I, I, I saw it, Wiener."
After he finished speaking, tears spewed out of his eyes, and his face flowed all over his face. He successfully shocked Wiener, and his emotions were calmed down a lot.
"What's the matter with you?" Weiner asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
Nat snorted and said, "I, this is the first time I have done something. If my father knew about this, he would definitely be in disbelief..."
Nat couldn't help but think of his hard work over the past few months, insomnia accompanied by anxiety... I couldn't sleep all night.
But after the interview results, all the hard work was worth it.
Weiner was a little surprised: "Don't your father know that you came to take the exam for official selection?"
"No, of course he knows."
"But he never imagined that I would actually be able to pass the test, after all, I used to..."
Nat showed an embarrassed smile: "I never let my father worry, and I always make him angry... Hey, I'm going to send a servant to Cais to tell him the good news!"
Nat couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of the look on his father Marquess Marco's face when he learned that he was admitted to the post of diplomat.
"Wiener, your father will definitely be proud of you. You must know that you got the first place in the test."
Wiener remembered his father, Viscount Lauren, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, he will be happy to celebrate."
After several confirmations and thoughts, Xia Zuoyi decided on the list of candidates for the mayor and officials.
After he posted it outside the examination room, he also asked the soldiers to notify the selected personnel one by one - ordering them to come to the castle three days later to participate in a meeting with all the staff.
This naturally also includes Marquis Marco Keys, who has become the mayor of Cais.
In fact, he had received the news that he was coming to Visas for the meeting more than half a month ago.
The sudden arrival of Marquis Marquez can not help but let Nat sincerely feel pleasantly surprised.
Of course, Marquis Marco was even more pleasantly surprised.
He did not expect that Nat had really changed a lot by staying by the side of the little lord. He had made such great progress and achieved such a result that he was proud and gratified.
How moved and sighed in Marquis Marco's heart was not mentioned for the time being.
It was also at this time that Wiener learned that Nat's father was actually the only mayor in the territory of Desinia.
Moreover, this gentleman was the only noble marquis who stood firmly beside the lord.
It can be said that the identity of Marco Keyes is undoubtedly extremely noble.
What's more, he is now the mayor of Cais, a person that Lord Desinia values very much.
Nat said apologetically, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
"Really... This is not something worth talking about often. After that, I was so busy with my studies that I forgot about it... Wiener, you won't be angry, will you?"
Nat couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He really forgot.
Although I remembered it later, I didn't know how to say it.
He can't always say directly: "Vina, do you know who my father is? My father is the mayor of Cais..."
If such words were put in the past, he would probably be able to say it with the cheek.
But now... I always feel a little inexplicable shame, making people unable to open their mouths.
Wiener was stunned and said, "No, I'm not angry, Nat."
"I'm just a little surprised that you have a great father, in every way..."
He smiled embarrassedly: "If you don't think my identity is..."
"Of course not! You are very good, Wiener."
Seeing that Wiener really didn't care, Nat couldn't help but feel relieved.
The two stopped talking about it.
three days later.
Fourteen mayors, including the Marquis of Marco, and ten other officials who were elected in the Desinia territory came to Xiazoe's castle together.
They were led into the hall where the meeting was held by waiting servants.
Fernandi and Valk were already standing behind Xia Zoe. The two armors, one black and one white, had no extra patterns on them. They covered key parts such as the shoulders and elbows. people.
Their eyes swept over Wiener and the others who walked in one by one, and they were not angry and arrogant, making people dare not look directly.
Weiner and the others couldn't help swallowing, feeling nervous.
Xia Zoe ordered the servants to arrange for them to sit down on the chairs respectively. Afterwards, the servants brought lemonade and assigned paper and pens to each of them. They needed to make meeting minutes later.
Fernand Valk: It's a familiar meeting process.
Nat was a little excited and overwhelmed.
He was sitting opposite Wiener, surrounded by officials in charge of other duties, and his father, Marquis Marco, was sitting under the right hand of the lord.
The others did the same, looking a little nervous with their heads down a little.
Xia Zuoyi knocked on the table, and the crisp sound caused everyone who was already highly concentrated to turn their heads in unison.
He said: "The meeting begins."
"The main issue discussed at today's meeting is 'city planning and management regulations'."
Everyone could not help but listen to the words with breathless concentration.
Xia Zuoyi: "I have drawn up with the Knight Commander and others the general rules of the city's appearance and environmental sanitation management regulations in advance. I called you to the meeting to confirm and understand one by one."
"After that, I started assigning other cities in the territory to serve as mayors and so on."
"As for the officials in charge of other positions, you need to stay in Weissus for the time being, and related transfers will be carried out in the future..."
He looked around Wiener and the others and said, "You are all candidates that I personally confirmed and selected. There is no need to doubt your knowledge, and your ability remains to be seen."
"I appointed you to important positions of mayor and other officials. First, I asked you to obey my arrangements and build the cities under your own management."
"Second, I hope you don't let this hard-won opportunity come to pass."
Xia Zuoyi paused and continued: "The same exam will be held every year in the future to select outstanding talents in the territory."
"If you are sitting in the position of mayor or an important official, you enjoy the rights you should have, but you fail to fulfill your responsibilities... No matter who it is, don't blame me for ruthlessly punishing crimes."
"Severe crimes can lead to the death penalty, or to be removed from the title, and permanently expelled from the territory of Desinia, understand?"
Everyone couldn't help but look solemn, and immediately nodded to understand.
Xia Zuoyi looked at Judit and motioned him to distribute the printed documents of the city management regulations to Wiener and others, and let them browse it first and pay attention to the contents of the documents.
Wait until they're done looking at it.
Xia Zoe pointed out that the most important item in the city appearance management regulations - the appearance of the city must be clean, tidy, hygienic and beautiful.
"First of all, we must build public toilets in the city, pay attention to the environment and good hygiene habits, and build more public and infrastructure facilities."
"Also, the streets in the city, various functional divisions, green protection, new buildings..."
Xia Zoe exchanged the prestige points for books and laws and regulations related to city management regulations.
Then, he made precise and reasonable arrangements based on the existing reality. In the construction and management of the city, regulations and punishments were equally important.
Those who violate the rules will naturally be punished accordingly.
He and Marco Marquis and others confirmed each regulation in detail, and found out the defects and needs to be revised.
The newly-appointed mayors and officials, including Nat and Wiener, were a little nervous and restrained at the beginning, and then gradually let go, and were able to put forward some good opinions and ideas.
When the punishment was confirmed, Xia Zuoyi asked them to mark the key points.
"If you don't comply with city ordinances, you can be verbally warned or fined for minor offenses," he said.
"For serious crimes, the fines will be increased, and the newly revised laws in the territory will be dealt with according to the situation."
"I only have one requirement for you, that is, you must strictly implement the arrangements and decisions I made. You must not delay in this matter, and you must not be lazy and do nothing."
"If you let me know that you are in violation of the law and take the lead in not abiding by the law... you should know what the consequences will be in the end."
Wiener and others looked serious and solemnly expressed their attitude.
Give a stick, and give a piece of sweet candy.
Xia Zuoyi said: "The top three cities in the Desinia territory will be ranked and selected. Whoever can take the lead in the future will be rewarded or promoted accordingly."
"For example, a title."
As soon as this word comes out.
The expressions of everyone could not help but become excited and joyful, and it was difficult to suppress their emotions, and they all expressed their determination.
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
"Praise your generosity to the God of Creation!"
…
Xia Zuoyi continued without changing his face, but his legs swayed and swayed under the table involuntarily.
Calmness and appropriate praise make people progress and thicken their skin.
Near the end of the meeting, Xia Zuoyi finally assigned the cities that the mayor and others were going to.
Wiener stayed close to Fort Comoy with a first-place finish.
The rest have also been appointed.
They will all be protected and followed by soldiers. After returning to their respective homes to pack up and deal with complicated affairs, they can leave with their families and set off to perform their duties in the cities they need to serve.
A high-pitched eagle chirp came.
Xia Zuoyi stood by the window in the bedroom, looking at the white costocyanine flying freely under the blue sky with smiling eyes.
It is like a hidden point in the white cloud. If you are not careful, it will "disappear" in front of your eyes, making it difficult to find.
In fact, it is because the color of costocyanine's feathers almost melts into the floating white clouds in the sky, and coupled with the speed of flight, it is difficult for the human eye to keep up with the dynamic capture, and it will disappear in the blink of an eye.
After a while.
Hai Dongqingfei returned to the window of the castle.
The young bird grows extremely fast, and now the body is almost half the height of a human arm, and the length of the wings is even more impressive.
The down feathers of the young birds have been replaced by hard and beautifully shiny feathers, with some brown spots on the head and wings, which have long since faded away.
It only leaves a little bit of bluish color at the very end of the feather, which outlines a beautiful outline and is extremely delicate.
Xia Zuoyi stretched out his hand and stroked Hai Dongqing's round head, and praised: "Qingtuan is really a beautiful boy."
"Tweet." Qingtuan opened its wings and fanned happily.
Suddenly, a pure black tiger claw slammed towards Qingtuan, and the wind lifted Xia Zuoyi's collar slightly, making him blink.
When he regained his concentration, Qingtuan had already flew away from the window in an instant, and the thick black tiger claws slapped the air.
"Ow!"
The briquettes retracted their claws and roared at Qingtuan, and lowered their body in a posture of attacking, but at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed its round ear, and twisted it lightly for half a turn.
"Ow."
The briquettes put away their fangs and claws obediently in an instant, lowered their voice, squatted down honestly, and even wrapped their tails around Xia Zuoyi's ankles, trying to get away with it.
The snow group was lying on the soft cushion from beginning to end, and the tiger tail was swaying comfortably behind him, with a leisurely posture.
Qingtuan slowly landed next to Xue Tuan, bowing his head and combing his feathers.
Xia Zuoyi withdrew his hand and said, "The briquettes don't always bully Qingtuan, it's still young, it's my younger brother."
"You want to learn from Snow Tuan, you know?"
Probably because some time ago, he always carried a fluffy young bird-like green ball with him, which made the briquettes taste bad.
Now a tiger and an eagle are often tit-for-tat and not giving way to each other.
After all, the Youth League was not very young, and most of the results ended in the victory of briquettes.
However, Xia Zuoyi has also seen black tiger hair on the carpet in the house. I don't know if the briquettes fell naturally or were pecked off...
Xuetuan has always been well-behaved and sensible, without any special reaction, but his attitude has always been neither cold nor cold.
like now.
Even if Qingtuan fell next to it, Xuetuan didn't pay much attention to it.
Judit just pushed the door and came in at this time: "Lord, the water pattern paper is sent to the branches of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in various cities for sale..."
"Gibran has already prepared the statistical results. Would you like to go and have a look in the study?"
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Go and see."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to the briquettes and said, "Don't bully Qingtuan again, or you will come back and grab your ears, and there will be no meat to eat."
"Ow."
The briquettes lie down on the carpet aggrieved.
After Xia Zoe left with Judit, the atmosphere in the house changed instantly.
The briquettes raised their heads and looked at the wary Costin, who had slightly spread his wings, his claws rubbing against the ground, looking ready to go.
Qingtuan's blue-gold eyes were also staring at the black tiger.
Just as the atmosphere between the two beasts gradually stagnated, a snow-white shadow suddenly pounced on Hai Dongqing, and pressed Qing Tuan under its claws at a lightning-fast speed.
"Chirp!"
Qingtuan let out a scream that was clearly panicked, its wings flapped twice but were immediately pressed down, and a few feathers fell immediately.
Before Qingtuan could resist with its sharp beak and claws, Xue Tuan immediately jumped aside, and when the briquettes didn't respond, he opened his mouth and bit its butt.
"Ow!"
The briquettes let out a howl in an instant, and suddenly bounced off the carpet, looking at his brother with a sullen eyes, as if asking, why are you biting me? !
Snowball ignored them, turning around again and laying leisurely in the cushion.
But a moment later, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Xia Zoe pushed the door into the room.
He instantly saw the situation in the room - it was clear that Qingtuan was hiding helplessly and pitifully against the window sill, with his wings shriveled, and the briquettes were standing beside him, looking at him with his head tilted.
A few feathers and less visible black tiger feathers were scattered across the carpet.
Xia Zuoyi: "briquettes! You have no meat to eat today!"
The briquettes were stunned: "Ow—?"
Snowball slowly wagged its tail.
