The Crescent of the Sultan

In Athens, in a mansion, a middle-aged man was scolding his child on the sofa.

"Mihail, can you study more seriously? Do you know how long it is until the exam?

You idiot, do you know how hard-won this inheritance is?

Those bastards from the master's family have never regarded us as human beings. If these bastards hadn't dared to rebel against the Sultan, how could we have obtained the right to inherit.

You have to understand that our family’s bloodline is not recent.

If I hadn't bribed that official, do you really think you could live in such a nice house? "

The young man named Michael looked irritable. He had no academic talent to begin with, and even this exam was not his original intention. It was purely his father who forced him to sign up.

Now that he was being reprimanded like this, Mihai suddenly exploded.

"Is this my problem? It's my fault that you can't keep this property, right? You always talk about how high Leo's level is and how well he learns Ottoman language.

I think you guys have been brainwashed by that sultan. Ottoman is not as good as Greek, and we are full-blooded Romans.

I don’t know how to learn this Ottoman language. If Leo’s family wants it, just give it to them. We already have money anyway.

To put it another way, if Leo is admitted as a civil servant, can he take away this family property from us?

Even if he could, wouldn't you try to bribe him again?

If that doesn't work, why don't you take the exam yourself if you want the family fortune so much? "

Mihail overturned the pile of books in front of him, and the teaching aids that middle-aged people bought at high prices - "Ottoman Language in Thirty Days", "Civil Service Exam Secrets", and "Royal Academy of Sciences Simulation Questions" were all overturned He picked up the water glass placed aside, fell to the ground, and got wet.

By the way, this is a teaching aid material that Emperor Sai specially asked Abraham to print. There is definitely no official certification or anything like that, but the sales are still booming, which can be regarded as adding a little income to the Sultan's small treasury.

After all, Izet's financial reform plan had already separated the Sultan's treasury and the imperial treasury.

According to Izet's arrangement, the royal family's annual salary is two hundred thousand pounds.

Although there are still many industries in Sudan, Selim still feels that there is not enough money. If he hadn't bought things like mines in advance, Selim probably would have done more immoral things.

The middle-aged man on the side couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the stupid son's stupid words. He picked up a stick and hit the other person, cursing while beating him.

"You idiot, how could I have a son like you?

You dare to say such a thing, aren't you afraid of losing your head?

Come here. "

The two chased each other in the living room, leaving the house in a mess.

Such scenes may be the same or the opposite in Athens.

However, the date of the Civil Service Examination will not change.

On May 28th, the candidates who have arrived early are preparing for this.

Michael's father specially booked a room for him at the Constantiniya Hotel, hoping that his son could have a good rest and do well in the exam.

Unfortunately, when Michael arrived here for the first time, he was immediately fascinated by the passionate girls of Konstantiniya, and spent several nights hanging out in different places.

As for Leo, who is regarded as a major threat by Michael's father, the son is still studying hard and plans to perform some knowledge to change his destiny.

It has to be said that in the early days, the dividend of knowledge was quite good. After all, the size of the rentier class was not large enough.

On June 1, the civil service examination officially began.

As far as this exam is concerned, it can be said that following the physical attack, Selim fundamentally dug up the foundation of the rule of the local powerful.

The small and medium-sized landowners who used to be tied to the local powerful now have a channel to gain their right to speak.

Because of the examination venue and the number of applicants, although Selim has transformed many former Guards properties into examination rooms, it is still not enough.

After all, this time there are more than 50,000 jobs in the Ottoman Empire's government agencies, state enterprises, and teachers, and the number of applicants has reached 70,000.

It can be said that most of the ambitious young generation in the entire Ottoman Empire came to take this exam.

If someone did not participate, it must be that his family was powerful and he was elected as an official after offering the soil, so he had already jumped the gun.

In a teahouse in Constantiniya, Leo was talking to several candidates who were also from Greece. Michael was among them. They were not candidates for the morning session.

"Leo, what department did you apply for?"

one of the young men asked.

"I am the Human Resources Department."

"The Human Resources Department. Is it so powerful?

It is said that the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance have recruited the fewest people this time. you

Which department did you apply to specifically? "

The young man was already surprised by Leo at this moment. Although he had always been a top student in Millett School, he might not be able to win in such a national exam.

"Ministry of Personnel, State Administration of Personnel."

Leo replied sheepishly.

"State Administration of Personnel? It seems that only a dozen people will be recruited this time."

Leo nodded, and everyone was amazed.

To be honest, Leo didn't expect such a big reaction from this group of people.

But he had confidence in himself. He had thoroughly understood the secret books that his father had spent a lot of money to buy.

After a conversation, a group of young people began to secretly respect Leo and offer him some fermented grape juice from time to time. Although no one believed in Allah, there was no such restriction in Greece.

But this is Constantiniya after all, and the emperor still needs to be more restrained. As for whether Emperor Sai will restrain himself, this is not something that a bunch of hard-working candidates can know.

In the middle of the meal, there was a small climax. Many Greek young people suddenly became interested when they found out that Leo was not married yet.

This person introduced his sister, and the other introduced his sister, which made Leo feel embarrassed when he was surrounded by everyone.

And Michael, who was originally organizing the game, was currently promoting his sister to Leo. After experiencing the girls in Constantiniya, Michael had realized that he was indeed not a student.

Moreover, according to several good friends he knew and the officials introduced to him by his father, once the other person is admitted to one of those top positions, there might be officials who will take a fancy to him and help him inherit the family property.

After thinking hard, Michael finally came up with a brilliant plan.

As long as you and the other party become in-laws, will the other party ignore you? is it possible?

As long as this thing is done, I will have something to rely on for the rest of my life. As for dad, who is he? I don’t know him well. Don’t ruin the relationship between me and my brother-in-law.

With this in mind, Michael kept chatting with Leo, and the scene was so happy.

Thanks to Messy-February Snow Piao, Zhuge Ruosu, Emperor of the Earth, Changkai Reading, Cao Tingbai, Bayi Gang 123 and several book friends for their monthly votes. Thanks to Azteca and Changkai Reading for their rewards.
