Big Capitalist

Electrolux looked at the message Merlin had sent and asked in shock, "President Merlin, where does our Finance Department get 1 billion in funds?!"

"Didn't the Arcane Academy earn 10 million gold coins?" Merlin said nonchalantly.

"Are 10 million gold coins and 1 billion gold coins on the same level?"

"I admit that there is some exaggeration here, but how can we attract talents to our Arcane Academy if we don't do this?"

Merlin glanced at the communication crystal in his hand and shook it at Alex. "You see, many forces can't wait any longer and hope that their children can work in the City Hall of the Arcane City."

Alex is very panicked now. He suddenly doesn't want to take the position of mayor of Arcane City anymore. He is really afraid that he can't handle it.

Many nobles and forces were secretly making plans, thinking that if their children could become civil servants of the Arcane City, then by virtue of their position, they would be able to give priority to cooperating with family forces in many cooperation projects and pocket huge profits.

Under Merlin's propaganda, everyone clearly realized that this drastic reform of the Arcane City would bring extremely considerable benefits.

At this critical juncture, as long as we can get in touch with the City Hall of the Arcane City, we will definitely make a fortune.

Moreover, the Arcane City is directly under the jurisdiction of the Arcane Academy, independent of the six empires. It is like a lost pearl, not subject to the many constraints of the old empires. Even a fool can see the unique development prospects here and the respected status after becoming an official.

In the future, if there are many exchanges and negotiations between the six empires and the Arcane Academy, I am afraid they will not be able to bypass the key aspect of the Arcane City.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you become a civil servant of the Arcane City, it is equivalent to having a status comparable to that of aristocrats. Although you cannot inherit the title and own the territory like aristocrats, but in the territory of the Arcane Academy, the power you hold is much greater than that of ordinary aristocrats. You are responsible for the planning, development and operation of the city, and every move you make can affect the interests and future of countless people.

Today, the entire Arcane Academy and even the Arcane City are immersed in a fiery craze for civil service examinations. Countless students are full of expectations, staring at the academy's bulletin board without blinking, eagerly waiting for the specific date of the Civil Service Examination Day in the Arcane City, as if that day will be the day when the door to their glory and dreams will open.

Just when the tense atmosphere of the civil service examination was getting more and more intense and everyone was busy preparing for the exam, Merlin once again dropped a bombshell and released a piece of news that was enough to shock everyone - that is the so-called political review stage of the civil service examination.

Those who want to take the exam to become civil servants in the Arcane City must go through a rigorous political review before and after registration.

First of all, a comprehensive review of the applicants’ performance at the Arcane Academy will be conducted.

Academic performance is naturally the top priority. After all, public officials need to have a solid knowledge reserve. Students who frequently fail courses and have a poor learning attitude will be labeled with a big question mark.

The level of mastery of magical skills cannot be ignored either. If one performs extremely poorly in actual combat exercises or daily assessments, it means that his or her ability is not yet sufficient to take on heavy responsibilities, and he or she is very likely to be blocked at the political review stage.

The second consideration is personal morality. During the college life, whether the student abides by the school rules and regulations, and whether there is a record of bad behavior such as fighting, malicious fraud, etc.

A person with bad character, even if he has outstanding magical talents, will never be given the power to manage the Arcane City and serve the people.

For students who have already graduated, the political review will delve into their experiences after leaving school.

Examine their professional ethics in their respective work areas and whether they are honest, trustworthy and conscientious.

If there has been a history of betrayal, fraud, or deception in business dealings, or if there has been selfishness or desertion during teamwork, the result of the political review will be rejection.

In addition, the political review will also involve the applicant's family background and social relations.

It's not discrimination or favoritism, but Merlin specifically protects those noble children who are planning to cause trouble... (crossed out).

It is to ensure that their family members and close friends do not have behaviors or ideas that are contrary to the development of the Arcane City.

If someone in the family was once a notorious dark magician, or had colluded with reactionary forces that attempted to sabotage the construction of the Arcane City, even if the person is innocent, it will take a long time of investigation and screening to determine whether he is suitable to apply.

Meilin stressed that only candidates who passed the political review would be allowed to take subsequent examinations.

As soon as the news came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Some students looked worried and began to reflect on their past behavior; others were full of confidence, thinking that they had a clear conscience and would definitely pass.

But no matter what, this political review system is like a sieve, which serves as the first barrier for the selection of public officials for the City of Arcane. It also adds a bit of tension and seriousness to the civil service examination craze, while steadily moving towards fairness, justice and selection of the best. The appearance of the future public officials of the City of Arcane is also beginning to emerge in these review links.

In the Arcane City, Merlin's newly announced civil service examination political review system was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves. In particular, the children of nobles who were planning to apply for the civil service examination were thrown into disarray and their faces changed instantly.

They knew very well that there were undercurrents in the Arcane City. There was a noble association specifically formed to boycott Merlin. The elders of the family were more or less involved in it and often tried to trip up Merlin.

As soon as the news came out, many college students who were planning to take the exam or those who had already graduated became extremely anxious. They immediately activated magic communications and hurriedly contacted their relatives who were far away in their family territories.

The crystal light on the other side flickered, reflecting their anxious faces. Their words were full of urgency and warning: "Family elders, please don't take any action against Merlin again! This political review system is no joke. If you don't stop, your chance to take the civil service exam will be completely gone. Targeting Merlin at this time is also targeting the development of the Arcane City, right? Do you still want us to take the civil service exam? Hmm?!"

At one time, these children of nobles, whether in college or not, contacted their families one after another, fearing that their families would become a stumbling block on their road to success in the college entrance examination.

That's right, this is Merlin's elaborate conspiracy. He has a keen eye and knows the thoughts and situations of these noble children. As long as you dream of becoming a public official in the Arcane City, you have to control your family members.

Once it is discovered that the family is doing something behind the scenes, no matter who they are, they will be eliminated without any room for negotiation.
