It was due to this that these industries only maintained a few employees they could afford to pay and let go of the others.
"As announced the previous day, all pests were finally eradicated, and recent research developnts revealed that the plant disease will not affect already processed textile that was not affected as a plant.
This was incredibly good news because it ans we can bring supplies for these industries from Riva.
And His and Her Majesty have agreed to provide the materials needed so these industries can continue," Odette explained.
Many of the won in the crowd, especially mothers, reacted to this since a lot of them had been among the ones who had been laid off due to the lack of materials to be used.
"Does this an we can return to work?!" Soone did her best to ask in a loud voice so Odette could hear her.
"Yes, you may return to your forr work. We talked with the establishnts, and they will prioritize laid-off employees who wish to return before hiring more," Odette assured them.
"Thank you!!!"
The ladies sighed in relief, grateful that they did not need to take jobs that they knew would not suit them.
If they had been left with no choice, they would have joined any job where they would be accepted, so they could help provide for their family.
"As for those who wish to work in the Imperial Capital soday as civil servants like us, you may want to join Civil Service Exam Reviews to prepare in advance. Please listen to the details from my colleague..."
Odette stepped back when she was done explaining the craft work and gave way for Egbert.
Egbert stepped forward with his voice-amplifying magic tool and said, "I am Egbert Vertus, one of Her Majesty’s assistants.
If you want to work in Riva like us soday, you must take the Imperial Civil Service Exam held once a year.
Only a few pass every year, so you must prepare in advance like everyone else does.
They study and review for the exam for several years before taking it.
All of us who work as Her Majesty’s assistant were among the top passers when we took the exam.
We accomplished it by preparing for the exam in advance.
Since not everyone has the resources to prepare for the exam on their own, we thought of pooling reading materials and conducting reviews for the exam.
These reviews will also include actual exam passers to give you lectures and tips on how to pass the exams and about the topics included.
Mock tests will also be conducted every now and then to help you familiarize how the exams are done.
Are there any of you here who are interested in this?"
The crowd was silent as they looked around. For most of them, it was far from their thoughts, or they had given up on it long ago.
Becoming a civil servant is not for everyone after all.
Moving to Riva ant more expenses and higher rent if they did not have a property there. And if they already have a family, it makes things even more complicated.
However, there were several people who raised their hands.
Egbert smiled upon seeing several people.
"You are all welco.
Please approach later to enlist.
The location for the reviews has not been decided yet, however, we will inform you once it’s decided.
Rest assured that board and lodging will be provided if it is not within the territory," Egbert explained.
[With this, maybe, my dream to leave this place and go to the capital soday will finally co true!]
[Everyone dissuaded when I told them about my dream to beco an Imperial Official. After continuing to wish for it, I was just about to give up when this opportunity finally ca! This must be a sign!]
[They will provide reading and writing lessons. And now even reviews for the exam as well... I’ll do my best!!]
The people who wished to be civil servants, or simply wanted a way out of Sibruh, or the usual path everyone followed, were delighted by this opportunity.
"If there are any Civil Service Exam passers here who chose to return ho, you may beco one of the teachers for the reviews. Of course, you will be paid accordingly. Please approach later or as I go around the territory," Egbert concluded and stepped back.
This ti, Denzel stepped forward and spoke to the crowd.
"Thank you very much for listening to us, everyone!
But it is not the end of work opportunities for you.
As Her Majesty said yesterday, there will be major construction projects in all of Sibruh.
These projects may begin once winter ends and all ice and snow have thawed.
Thus, it will likely begin in the middle of Spring.
A lot of construction workers will be employed through these projects.
Cooks for the workers will also be hired for each project.
If you wish to enlist for this, please approach the Marquess and his assistants later.
Each project will be discussed with you in more detail by the Marquess once all of it is finalized..."
Denzel discussed the general details about the construction projects before he stepped back.
"Thank you for listening to us, everyone! Please enjoy the activities we have prepared for you for this winter."
Before everyone dispersed, Arabella had them announce the eting for rchants and another for noble households.
With this, the eting, or rather public hearing for the commoners in Sibruh, ended successfully.
It began with people angry and wary of them, but it ended with the people in a better mood and hoping for a better future with the employnt opportunities brought to them.
Arabella then instructed the Marquess to prepare two separate halls for the eting with the nobles and the eting with the rchants.
Since she personally appeared in the eting with the commoners, she must also attend the ones for the nobles and rchants.
The rchants were scheduled first before the nobles.
After all, for nobles, there was the unspoken rule to ssage in advance before a eting.
Arabella then has to send letters to each noble household in Sibruh to join the eting later.
