Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

"It's none of my business. Just prepare for the exam."

Windlow did realize that something was wrong, but no matter how wrong it was, it had no direct connection with him.

The tax-free right that can be touched is what a businessman desires most.

I went back and continued to study the test papers from the past few years, not to analyze what questions will be in this year's exam, but to see what methods are needed to answer the questions.

After just two days, it was the most important day of the year for Zhendan.

The Examination Yuan is located in the Aurora Barracks, so the internal security is naturally beyond doubt.

All the soldiers were sent out to perform patrol and investigation tasks. After all, there are always people who do evil.

"arrest!"

On Wendlow's side, Yu Yong and the militia still found a problem. Several candidates actually forged other people's information and tried to take the exam for others.

In Zhendan, this is a serious crime. Both the person taking the exam for someone else and the person being taken the exam for will have all their previous scores revoked and will never be allowed to take the imperial examination again. Based on the severity of the crime, a decision will be made as to whether they will be executed in the autumn of this year or the autumn of next year.

There were also people who carried cheat sheets with them, whether they put them in their clothes, pants, or even in the soles of their shoes or underwear, they were all caught by the experienced Yu Yong and militia.

He was arrested on the spot, thrown into prison, and executed immediately.

The process is smooth and flowing, and it can be seen that this style has been practiced in the land of Zhendan for no less than a thousand years.

It seems that if one passes the imperial examination, there must be huge benefits, otherwise why would this group of people be so rampant and take such a big risk to cheat.

Windlow only brought the examination tools with him and entered his own cubicle under the guidance of the examiner.

There is no difference between the cubicles assigned to each candidate except for the different numbers.

But there are still candidates making trouble in the examination room, saying that their numbers are unlucky.

There were also candidates who clamored that the examiner could assign him the cubicle with the last digit of the number "9".

As for Windlow, the number 291 only proves that he is the 291st person in such a room, and has no other meaning.

Before the exam even started, people around me had already started flirting with each other. I wonder what new cheating methods they have come up with.

Only Wendlow sat obediently in his own cubicle, found a comfortable position, and took the test paper handed down by the examiner.

The first exam was Chinese, which started with some questions about word choice and sentence structure, which Windlow answered mostly. Then came the analysis of famous quotes, which he knew nothing about.

However, the most important exam question of the entire civil service examination has just appeared, and almost three-quarters of the test paper is devoted to this question.

“Arguing for decentralization and centralization of power.”

Decentralization and centralization, this is something that Windlok has a lot to say about. Things that could not be said in the empire before can now be written on the test paper.

My name is Windlow. I am from Rick County in the Western Empire. My family is poor. I traveled as a trader when I was young, so I became a resident. Over the years, I have traveled to twelve counties in the empire. Although I have never read books or papers, I have seen everything on foot. I have been in a remote place, and I need to know the direction of interests and have a basic understanding of history.

The First Emperor Sigmar made his fortune in Reikland. He abolished the tribal nomadic system, destroyed the orcs, slew the undead, and resisted Chaos in the north. He had the courage to be invincible, but lacked the decisiveness of a hero.

If the enemies of Reikland surrender, they will be granted the title of Elector and control over their lands, and the Empire will not be allowed to interfere.

Looking at the twelve territories of the empire, they are all autocratic kingdoms. Although they serve the common lord Sigma, can Sigma live forever?

In the eightieth year of the imperial calendar, the late emperor hid in the mountains at the edge of the world. Not long after, the empire was in turmoil and people throughout the country rebelled.

In order to seize the throne, the eleven electors fought frequent wars for several years, which cost the people a lot of money and labor, and the country was in decline. Only then did they decide to elect an emperor to put an end to foreign invasions.

However, as time passed and the enemy grew stronger, the world changed drastically in just a few years.

Vampires began to rise in the East and have been difficult to eliminate ever since.

The northern Norscans were originally defeated by the previous Emperor Sigmar, leaving only five ships and more than 300 people, but after a few years, they gained a firm foothold and the empire was no longer able to go north to suppress them.

The greenskins in the south took the opportunity to grow stronger and entered the heartland of the empire. Fortunately, the three territories of Wissen, Reik and West united and expelled them, but the greenskins still took root in the Witch Hills and were difficult to eradicate.

The elves from the west invaded and enslaved the people of the empire.

All of the above happened during the period of several years when the empire was divided.

If the late Emperor Sigmar were still alive, Ghalmaraz's hammer would shine, and the enemies of the empire would be routed.

Everything, including the Rebellion of the Three Emperors, the Black Sickness, the Chaos Invasion, the Rise of Vampires, and the Strength and Powerlessness of the Wood Elves, all have one thing in common.

The empire was without a master, the empire was in civil strife, the empire's power was dispersed, and there was little centralized execution.

Although I am a citizen of the empire and have been in Zhendan for less than a few months, I have noticed that your country is superior to our empire in one respect.

The Dragon Emperor lives forever, and his dragon soul is immortal. It has protected mortals for thousands of years.

The Dragon Emperor centralized power and ruled China with the mandate of heaven. Foreign enemies dared not invade and internal rebellion did not occur, thus ensuring the eternal rule of China.

Even if the Dragon Emperor is unable to split himself into two, there are still dragon sons and daughters who can protect the land of Zhendan and protect the name of Zhendan with their immortal bodies.

Windlow wrote thousands of words in a very eloquent manner, and only stopped writing when it was time to hand in his answer sheet.

I really can't help but get it out, and I feel very relieved.

It’s not that a businessman like him has deep political insights, he just simply doesn’t like the empire’s electoral system.

As a businessman, he is not like a farmer or a blacksmith. He cannot stay in one place for a long time, but needs to travel everywhere.

However, due to the electoral system, the empire itself is divided, and so far it has become a confederation of thirteen territories.

This also leads to one thing, that is, the laws and tax rates of this county may not be applicable in the next county.

Each place has its own laws and taxes, and the environment is relatively turbulent. The lords basically only care about their own business, and the business environment is very poor.

In addition to the basically semi-independent territories of the Electors, the Empire also has thousands of free cities, free towns, and free towns of all sizes.

This is equivalent to more independent kingdoms within independent kingdoms.

This is also the reason why Windlow has never been to Ostermark. That place is a territory in itself, and basically all the cities within the territory, big and small, are free cities.

The only city under the control of the Elector himself is Beckhaven, and Beckhaven does not even have a port.

As a result, as a businessman, he did not make much money within the empire.

The reason behind so many political thoughts is very simple: the butt determines the head. Whoever can protect one's own interests, one will of course support him.

Now that I have arrived in Zhendan, I find that the moon in foreign countries is indeed rounder.

Zhendan is a unified country. Although the laws and taxes vary slightly from region to region, the overall centralization is conducive to concentrating power in key positions.

The most important thing is that it provides a very good environment for merchants, and even merchants from Zhendan can raise funds for the Changya Road trade.

This flattery not only praised the Aurora system, but also expressed all of his political demands as a businessman.

The joy in my heart has not completely dissipated. After a short rest, the math test is about to begin.
