Chapter 2 Returning from Vacation

Chapter 2 Returning from Vacation
"If someone greets you, hug them warmly. If it's a woman, compliment them on how good-looking they are. If something unexpected happens, just laugh and say: The weather is really nice today..."

Charlotte Mecklen kept cheering herself up and trying to appear as calm and unhurried as possible.

About ten days ago, Charlotte Mekelen was called Huang Haisheng. She was a high school mathematics teacher who was born on Earth and completed a standard undergraduate education.

He didn't know how he "died".

During that last period of his life, he was confused and had no memory at all. When he woke up, Huang Haisheng became Charlotte Mecklund, an imperial government employee on vacation.

Charlotte Mecklen worked in the Central Government Office as a first-class clerk, ranking forty-first in the imperial bureaucracy, and was responsible for some paperwork.

The country he worked hard for and received his salary from was called the Fars Empire!

A powerful country that has never been seen in Huang Haisheng's memory.

Charlotte Mecklen is a native of the Old World. She was born in the Principality of Behemoth (Note: one of the vassal states of the Fars Empire). When she grew up, she came to the empire to study. After graduation, she successfully worked in the capital Strath. Fort has a good job.

In the first few days after traveling through time, he was very panicked, and no one could stay calm when encountering such a thing.

Good thing...

Charlotte Mecklen was on vacation at the time.

A man rented a small house on the beach in Senis. The neighbors around him were all strangers, which gave him enough time and a good environment to calm down.

Huang Haisheng quickly judged that replacing Charlotte Mecklund's identity and living a step-by-step life was his best choice.

After traveling through time, he obtained most of the memories of "Charlotte Mecklen" and acquired some ancient knowledge, which allowed him to perfectly integrate into this fantasy world with a classical European style.

Yes, this is a fantasy world.

There are gods, magical creatures, forbidden ancient creations, giants, barbarian witches, vampires, magic, fighting spirit, alchemy, extraordinary beings and extraordinary items.

This world is ruled by nine righteous gods.

The "Law of the Gods", a sacred covenant signed by nine gods in the indescribable ancient times, stipulates that the nine gods will take turns to rule the world every hundred years, which is called an era.

It is now the thirty-fifth year that Lady Black Moon has taken charge of the world, and it is also the fifth era of the establishment of the Fars Empire.

Charlotte Mecklen stepped into the government office, smiled calmly, and was the first to say a gentle hello to anyone she saw.

Every person who passed by was quite blurry to him. The memory pixels that the original owner invested in the appearance of most of his colleagues were too low, which was not enough for him to identify any one person.

Just like although we can recognize most acquaintances at any time, we cannot imagine the appearance of most acquaintances when we are alone. This is a small flaw in human memory.

All the way to the office in my memory, it was the same office as Charlotte Mecklund, and there were more than 20 clerks. Although it was not an independent office space, it was much better than those colleagues who worked in the lobby.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a serious middle-aged woman shout: "Mr. Mecklen, you will have a special job these days."

Charlotte smiled slightly, searching her memory to piece together an image of the speaker.

The middle-aged lady was his direct supervisor, Mrs. Aldegund, a senior government worker who was old-fashioned and dignified. "Okay, Mrs. Aldegund. I will do my best to complete this work arrangement."

Mrs. Aldegond was slightly surprised. She originally thought Charlotte Mecklen would refuse. This job was very difficult and almost no one was willing to take it.

However, since Charlotte has agreed, she will not make trouble and said calmly: "Take this identity certificate and go to Kilmainham Prison, and someone will arrange the next step for you."

"Here is a crown, as a subsidy for your temporary work."

Charlotte smiled slightly, took the envelope from Mrs. Aldegond, and searched her memory, and soon recalled the memories related to the imperial currency.

The Empire has three monetary units: the egium, the fore, and the centime.

One ecu is equal to ten flors, and one flor is equal to one hundred centimes.

Ecu means shield in imperial language. It has two denominations: one Ecu and five Ecu. It is made of gold and is of high value. Nowadays, only the rich and nobles have large amounts of Ecu in their homes. It has become a collection, rarely circulated on the market, and almost no one will spend it.

The fohr was originally used as a weight unit of currency, equivalent to one pound of silver. In the third generation, it was changed to mint silver coins, and the people in the empire called it the old fohr. In the fourth generation, paper money of equal amounts was issued, which was called the new fohr, one, five, and ten. , twenty, fifty, five denominations. After the change to banknotes, silver-cast Foors, like Ecu, rarely appeared on the market and were actually withdrawn from circulation. One Foor is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 1800 to 1990 yuan.

Centime has five denominations: one cent, five centimes, ten centimes, twenty centimes and fifty centimes. No banknotes have ever been issued. It is the only coin that is still in large circulation.

One crown is already considered a very generous remuneration for extra errands, which is approximately equivalent to one and a half months of Charlotte's salary.

That's right, Charlotte, as a first-class clerk in the empire, is a well-paid person with a weekly salary of one flor and seventy centimes, and even has the ability to take a vacation every year.

In addition to being unable to buy a residence because of his short working life and not having much savings, he could only rent a house. He was considered a leader among the young people in the empire.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are girls touching his thighs at social banquets. Charlotte Mecklen is a very high-quality imperial man with a bright future.

Mrs. Aldegond was a serious person who spoke little. She returned to her office after explaining her work.

Charlotte turned around and left the office, leaving the government office building, waving casually on the street. A public carriage quietly stopped. The coachman waited for Charlotte to get on the carriage and let the horse trot again.

Charlotte sat in the carriage, experiencing the bumps of this ancient means of transportation, while opening the envelope and pulling out a ten-for note and a formal official letter of introduction.

The empire did not issue any denomination of Ecu banknotes, no one Ecu banknotes, no five Ecu banknotes, only gold coins.

Combined with the above reasons, the empire has a custom that is puzzling to those who have traveled through it. They habitually call ten flor banknotes one ecu!

Charlotte put the ten-for note into her purse, put the letter of introduction into the pocket of her coat, crumpled the envelope into a ball, and gently threw it out of the carriage, where it landed in the garbage on a street corner. In the barrel, the accuracy is amazing.

His Majesty Julius, the sixth emperor of the empire, was born with a mysophobia. He could not tolerate the cross-flowing sewage and random piles of garbage that could be seen everywhere in the city, so he promoted the municipal administration of trash cans. Facts have proved that there are things that the emperor cannot do. This municipal administration was not completely successful and only survived in the Val-d'Oise district.

Val-d'Oise is the area where the Royal Palace, the central government offices, the Nine Orthodox Churches and the four most famous universities are located.

These noble men also want to enjoy a clean living environment.

As for the other districts, just go with the flow.
