My British Empire

  Chapter 368 Student

  ps: ask for tickets, ask for subscription

  Since the official entrance examination, it has won the support of the broad masses of the people, and the number of participants has increased sharply year after year.

  In the third year of the implementation, the number of people who came to London to take the exam has reached 3,000. The whole London was full of people all of a sudden, the inns were overcrowded, and the whole London suddenly became crowded.

  So, in the fourth year, that is, in 1554, the central government issued a decree requiring each county to establish its own screening examination.

  Only after taking the screening exam can you proceed to the London admissions exam.

  In that year, London uniformly burned the examination papers, and then sent them to various places. The inspectors, sheriffs, and sheriffs in various places supervised each other and conducted the examination.

  In order to increase the number of people taking the exam and also to increase the gold content of the screening exam, the government negotiated with the University of London and the University of Cambridge to allow university degrees to be granted to those who passed the screening exam.

  Although it has only been three years, the title of college student has attracted many people to take the screening exam in groups.

   Even, there are many people who don't want to go to London to take the official admission exam, but just want to take the screening exam, just to get the title of college student.

  In the whole of England, there are only two universities, one is the University of Cambridge, and the University of London.

   Note that these two universities are theological schools, affiliated to the church, and most of the teaching is theological knowledge, but they have also dabbled in other places. It can be said that the gold content of college students in England is extremely high.

  The dozens of college students produced every year are enthusiastically sought after by government agencies and major chambers of commerce.

  These people are all talents. The top talents of this era, whether in politics or business, are undoubtedly elites.

   Therefore, getting the title of college student is enough to prove their value, whether it is for business or for future development, it is of great benefit.

   In this way, the admission test in London is more attractive.

  And these students who take the exam, among them, there is a high probability that they will become officials, and they will be officials with you in a few years.

  In order to establish their own personal connections, officials in these places often send knights to **** these students going to London to ensure their safety.

  Of course ordinary people cannot see the difference between this carriage and ordinary carriages, but the supervisor is a knowledgeable person, so he naturally knows the affairs of his own county.

  That's why he lost his temper. If he didn't see that he had his share of the stolen money, he would definitely drive these people out of the road construction.

  Over the past five years, England's official selection examination has been held like a fire, and the entire English people have realized the importance of this examination. London, the capital of England, has finally been recognized by the English people.

   It's funny to say, as the capital of England for hundreds of years, its presence has never been strong.

  The English people's first impression of this city is that it is prosperous in business.

  Only refugees poured in continuously when they were desperate, but those nobles and gentlemen often dismissed them.

   There are less than a hundred gentlemen and nobles who settle in London every year.

  To tell the truth, English people have many similarities with Chinese people, for example—emphasis on hometown.

  In their view, their hometown is the best, and unless there are some major incidents, they will not move until they die.

  At the same time, they have developed a great local protection power. They only care about their own hometown. No matter how many people die in other places, they can't control them.

  This idea of ​​local separation is resistant to the central government, and it is also the reason why England has never had centralization in history.

  Unlike France, in the era of Louis XIV of the Bourbon dynasty, the king was centralized and the kingship reached its peak.

  If the central government is not strong, the king naturally has no rights.

  Like France, as long as Paris fails, the possibility of changing the flag of the whole country is extremely high.

  The reason why the United States is a federal system of government is because they have inherited the idea of ​​local separation from the United Kingdom, and there is no king as the core of the rule to glue them together.

  The same is true of modern Britain. England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales all rely on the royal family as the glue. They respect the Windsor royal family as co-rulers, and the royal family grants power to Parliament, which forces them together.

  Without the Windsor royal family, Britain will not be far away. This is the secret of the British royal family so far.

   It's far away. According to the regulations, after each county is screened, only ten people will be qualified for the exam and can go to London to take the exam.

  Thirty-nine counties, plus London, there will be a total of 400 people in England to take the admission test, and London is much easier.

  Of course, in order to obtain more talents, and also because of the lack of national recognition in this era, His Majesty the Great King allowed people other than England to take part in the screening exam in London to compete for the ten places.

   "Hey! Eaton, what's the matter?" He lowered the curtain, just as he sat down, all the people in the carriage stretched their heads over and asked with great interest.

   "It's nothing, just a group of road workers, small things!"

   Eaton raised his head, a smile appeared on his young face, and said softly.

   "Oh! I thought there was something exciting to watch? What a pity!"

  Besides, a young man muttered, looking at his face, he was even more immature than him. I heard that he was only sixteen years old and passed the screening. His family's threshold was said to be broken by his relatives.

  Young people like this have unlimited careers in the future and are sought after by everyone.

   "Forget it! One more thing is worse than one less thing. We are all here to go to London to take the exam, safety first! Don't ask about this kind of thing anymore. The exam is the most important thing. Whether you can pass the exam is another matter!"

   Beside him, a man in his thirties waved his hand and said in an old-fashioned tone, then leaned back against the carriage and said nothing more.

   "You can't say that. A young genius like William will definitely pass the exam in London!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man beside him disagreed. He pointed at the sixteen-year-old boy and said flatteringly.

  When the young man named William heard this, he was not very old after all. A smug smile appeared on his face for a moment, and then he immediately restrained himself, not even daring to say.

  The rest of the people in the carriage also flattered, and for a moment, the atmosphere of the whole carriage changed.

   "Hmph—" The 30-year-old man was always mature and stable, and after showing a serious expression on his face, he closed his eyes and ignored him.

   Eaton looked at the drama in front of him. He watched it coldly, without the slightest interest in it. He was going to London to take the exam to become an official, and he was not interested in anything else.

  For these people, in his opinion, the possibility of passing is extremely small.

   After all, out of 400 people, only 40 people are admitted, and the admission rate is only one-tenth.
