Chapter 80： persecution of aristocrats

"Lemon, this can't be done. Now that the library is so sloppy, I think you have to shoulder at least half of the responsibility. How can the library export talents for the empire like this!"

Before entering the teacher's room, a sharp and sarcastic words came out.

? ?

Eli frowned, but went in anyway.

At this time, there were two people in the room. One was the 68-year-old Bachelor Lemon. At this time, he was sitting on a chair, squinting, and holding a pen tightly in his hand.

Opposite him, in front of the table, a man who looked about twenty-eight years old stood arrogantly and kept accusing Maester Lemon.

"It can't go on like this. It's too rambling. At least I saw those guards who dared to talk during work hours. This kind of discipline is really poor. If it was placed in our family, they would be severely whipped." The man looked indignant. , bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Ah yes yes yes." Maester Lemon nodded desperately.

"Hmph, Lemon, I'm also the deputy curator, please have a better attitude!" The man's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'm going to see the rest of the library now, let's talk about it!" Shaking his head, the man walked directly towards the door.

Just when he met Eli who came in, the man didn't say anything, just raised his head high and strode out, looking arrogant.

Eli looked at the man's back with a puzzled expression, who are you!

"Teacher, what is this?" he asked as he walked over to Maester Lemon.

"He's the new deputy curator!" Maester Lemon said helplessly when he saw that Eli was here.

"Is that him? This guy doesn't seem easy to get along with!" Eli said strangely.

"Oh, it's not just that it's not easy to get along with, this guy has now regarded the library as his home, but he is going to vigorously implement many new measures." Maester Lemon sighed.

"For example, your original vacation is too much, you have to halve it, or it is too loose, and you need to arrive at 7 o'clock every morning."

Eli: ? ? ?

This is something people can do.

"Then other people don't object?" Eli frowned. He didn't come for a day. Did such a big thing happen in the library?

"I oppose it, but it's useless!" Laymon's bachelor placed Bi on the table, got up and said, "He was sent directly by the king, and the purpose must be for the position of the curator. It seems that the curator leaves as soon as possible. , they want to make this place their private land."

"That's it!" Eli's brows furrowed even tighter.

If the library becomes the king's private land, then it is not a good thing for him, and it is difficult to be as free as it is now.

"So, get ready to go to work on time!" Maester Lemon looked at Eli and said with a smile.

He's 68, and he's about to retire. In fact, it's okay, and they won't do anything to him.

"Okay, I'll go to work first." Eli nodded, let's wait for things to develop, and then take action according to the situation.

Saying goodbye to the teacher, Eli went to his own office and started working on the paperwork.

After becoming a scholar, he has his own independent office. He is in charge of a very leisurely position with very little work. As long as he is finished, he can go home.

after an hour.

After Eli finished his work, he was ready to leave work early.

Suddenly, the sound of violently pushing the door open suddenly sounded.

A man strode in, raised his head, and walked in front of Eli with a proud face. It was the man he had just seen in the teacher's room.

Eli is a little pissed, won't you knock on the door?

"You are?" Eli asked with a smile.

"Hey, I'm the deputy director of Othello. I'm currently in charge of the library's various indications. I saw that you didn't come to work yesterday. You can tell me what's going on. Forget it, or don't talk about it, you are this month. The salary is halved, and I hope you don’t miss work for no reason next time!”

Like an announcement, Othello didn't give Eli any time to react. After speaking, he left with his head held high, leaving Eli sitting on the chair.

"Trouble!" Of course he doesn't like the salary, but it doesn't mean you can deduct my money casually.

There are regulations in the library. You can take three days off at will in a month, so it is legal that he didn't come yesterday, but Othello doesn't seem to know, and he just fined half the money.

Typical aristocratic style.

"Hey, as soon as the curator leaves, trouble will come." Only now did Eli remember Severo's goodness.

This guy, who spends most of his time in other countries, doesn't care about the library at all, except to arrange some work when he comes back, but even so, the library is always in order.

But now with his departure, everything has changed unknowingly.

"Hopefully it's not too much!"

…

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This half month is also the most uncomfortable half month for all the old library staff.

In the past two weeks, the guards were not allowed to speak, were not allowed to leave their posts a day, or even entered the library to use the toilet. The working hours were also greatly improved, from seven hours a day to ten hours.

Of course, these are not the most unbearable, but the most uncomfortable thing is that Othello cut everyone's wages by 20% in the name of cost saving. Everyone has great opinions.

But it wasn't these things that made Eli the most uncomfortable, but the increase in working hours made him have to stay in the library for a long time, which was equivalent to working overtime in disguise, and Eli was very upset.

And these days, Eli finally got to know Othello's background.

It turned out to be a direct descendant of a viscount family The family territory is very close to here, and the family mainly deals in finance, and it seems that there are some other contacts.

The reason why Othello can become the deputy director is that he is actually a bachelor himself, and his sister, who seems to be a popular person around the king at present.

This may also be a temptation by the king.

…

Finally, as another five days passed.

According to time, the library should also re-elect a new director.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but it seems that someone intervenes. The new way to select the curator is to vote, and the voters are some scholars who have never heard of Eli.

Ask again, good guy, all of them are noble scholars.

Needless to say, once elected, there is little chance that Lemon and another deputy director will become director.

In fact, it is reasonable for Othello to be the deputy director of the library, because generally speaking, the deputy director of the library and above is not a noble, but this time, it seems that the king has some ideas.

The main reason is that this time the action was very fast, and by coincidence, this time many scholars and scholars just left King's Landing, because they went to a discussion meeting in a city, so no one cared.

"No!" Thinking of such a situation, Eli shook his head.

If Othello is really the curator, then tm will be in trouble. Not only does one more arrogantly break into your room at any time, while telling you that your salary will be deducted, and even directly dismiss you, while pointing at your nose and scolding you The nobles with poor work may also be subjected to inexplicable overtime, which is really too **** up.

Just thinking about it, Eli already felt his blood pressure rise and he had to do something.

He would never allow anyone to disrupt the calm environment of the library.
