Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

It is different from the plague, although it has been given such a terrible name as the Black Death, but the plague is a disease that comes from the bites of rats and fleas. It's chilling to think about.

Tang Feiliu was so frightened that he grabbed Edward and almost lost his footing. It was because he was afraid that it was the virus. Everything represented by the Black Death was too terrible. During its prevalence, it could even destroy a kingdom directly.

Although cholera was very scary when it was prevalent at that time, it is said that even people in a city would die if it gets sick, but the origin of cholera has been studied very clearly in later generations-it is the infection of Vibrio cholerae.

It doesn't seem to be particularly clear to say this. To put it simply, it is drinking polluted water. This has to mention something that Tang Feiliu hated when he came to this era - people of this era, There is really no common sense about hygiene at all!

In the same era, Chinese medicine has already talked about the disease from the mouth and some daily knowledge, and has established some basic principles of maintenance, but in this era, those who promote the enlightenment of Western medicine are still hunted down by the temple, and finally hanged or even alive Burned to death...Because the temple is too majestic and majestic, because the temple firmly controls and monitors the secular world, and can even interfere with any common things in the territory, which leads to the fact that it can really help people live Knowledge is denounced as heresy, not only not recognized, but also subject to the most vicious suppression.

And that's how cholera came about. Because of the lack of medical development, people don't pay attention to it. They always defecate everywhere. After dark, they can push the defecation in their potty directly through the window and pour it out. Downstairs, it's not just the stench, it's more that people can't see, germs.

The germs of cholera were carefully explained. In a very simple sentence, they drank water contaminated by feces.This kind of situation seems ridiculous and unlucky in later generations, but in this era, cholera has already begun, which proves how terrible the pollution of Nat Imperial City is.

Tang Feiliu explained these things to Edward in detail, and Edward concluded: "So, the water in the imperial city cannot be drunk, not only the water, but also the wine made from this water?"

"That's what it means." Tang Feiliu nodded, and said seriously, "Haven't you ever wondered that I always asked the people in the castle to boil the water before drinking it? Even if it is a clear spring on the mountain, I also do this, because it can To ensure that the dirty things in the water are killed to the greatest extent."

"I see, I will tell Her Majesty Josephine about these things." Edward kissed Tang Feiliu's hair, and then said reassuringly, "So as long as I keep sending clean water and food, you will be safe Is it right?"

"I'm safe, Edward, please ask Her Majesty Josephine to tell everyone that if they come into contact with a patient, especially something the patient pulls... tell them, they must wash themselves with soap, and they must not be lazy!" Tang Feiliu repeatedly stated solemnly , suddenly remembered again, and said, "We came here in a hurry this time, so I hurried to get someone to deliver the soap stocked in Black Swan Castle."

"Okay, you go to rest first, and I will take care of the rest." Edward said, approved his clothes overnight and hurried to the palace. Tang Feiliu called for the butler and seriously instructed him what he should do.

Almost the next day, the atmosphere in the whole city became more and more tense, and when Alexander woke up, he felt his whole body relax. His illness seemed to be a rebound after being frightened and tired. Under Tang Feiliu's meticulous care, after recovering, he felt full of energy, but when he got downstairs, he saw his younger brother nervously talking to all the servants: "Everyone, as long as you are going out, you must pay attention Have you been in contact with feces and polluted places? Pay attention to cleaning yourself every day. Don’t buy food from outside recently. Everything is made at home, and the raw materials used are those that have been hoarded before..."

Alexander listened silently for a while. Tang Feiliu realized that his brother had woken up. His eyes lit up. He immediately sped up the instructions. He quickly ordered the maids to supervise each other, especially those who cook must prepare masks... and If anyone develops symptoms, be sure to report them right away!

Anyway, after this matter was settled, Tang Feiliu breathed a sigh of relief when Alexander walked down the stairs. Alexander stepped forward to beat his younger brother on the shoulder, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"

"Cholera started in the city." Tang Feiliu explained softly to his brother. Alexander knew that the wine he drank must not be clean, but now he heard that there was stool in the water he drank, and the gods preached in the temple did not He won’t let the feces flowing into the river disappear by itself... He was speechless for a while because of the nausea, he covered his head and shouted loudly: "My God, I drank a bottle of apple sparkling wine mixed with feces! I I may never want to drink this again in a short time..."

Tang Feiliu was teased by his brother and smiled a little, then asked worriedly: "You don't want to have diarrhea, do you?"

Alexander thought for a while, and said, "...Not at the moment, but I feel like vomiting... Don't worry! I'm just disgusted!"

In fact, nature can really purify these dirty things, but if the amount of discharge is too large and there is no treatment, it will naturally accumulate. At this moment, Tang Feiliu sees that his brother seems to be really fine. His biggest worry is Put it down, and explained to Alexander how to deal with cholera.

There are many kinds of reactions to cholera, but according to Edward’s symptoms, cholera presents with vomiting, diarrhea, acute coma, and death at the end... This is estimated to have triggered the sudden failure of internal organs, In short, to this level, it is very scary, and it is no longer the level where medicine can be effective.

"So I thought, I must tell everyone, let everyone clean themselves, keep drinking water and body clean... It's just soap, which is only available in York now, and it will take a long time to get here. There are not enough servants here. I am worried about the supply. Can't meet everyone's needs..." Alexander looked at his younger brother's broken thoughts, his eyes gradually softened.

Is this the benefit of having a younger brother?No matter how cold-hearted a person is, when he sees this little guy in front of him who is worried about everyone's worries, and sees him complaining to you with his fingers, he can't help but want to tell him not to worry. Give them all.

"I have a friend who is an upstart..." Alexander said to Tang Feiliu who was at a loss as to how to arrange these things, "He does have a factory, which was originally a wine maker, but after his father passed away a few years ago , and he is not good at this, the factory was abandoned..."

"Then there are no workers?" The venue is suitable. Tang Feiliu is worried that there will be no workers, especially in the current situation. If the management is not smooth, if a person with cholera comes in, it will be bad.

"The original workers have all been disbanded, but he still has two textile factories. It would be good to transfer some female workers there. Besides, the person in charge of the brewery is not bad... It is useless to talk here, or I will go out Meet him, and if it looks reliable, I will bring him back to talk to you?" Alexander said.

"That's fine, but brother, you have to remember, don't eat outside. After you find him, remember to ask the servants to wash the carriage clean. I will pack the water and food for you in a small box, and don't go around casually." Feeling around..." Tang Feiliu turned into a chatterbox, and successfully surrendered what his brother said.

Alexander went out for a while after finishing his clothes, and Edward came back. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Her Majesty Josephine wants to see you, and she wants to talk to you."

"Okay." Tang Feiliu was actually a little surprised. He thought that His Majesty Josephine would think that everything he proposed was too whimsical. After all, those things he did, people who believed a little bit in the temple, would easily feel that he was doing something to the saint. Declare war on everything the temple teaches.

Tang Feiliu thought that His Majesty Josephine would hesitate even for Edward's sake, but he didn't expect that His Majesty Josephine was more radical and decisive than he imagined.

"She will tell you something," Edward told softly while hugging Tang Feiliu on the road, "but you only need to do what you like, she will not force you, nor can she force you, I will always be your most loyal Knight, you have enough free strength to support, okay?"

"I know." Tang Feiliu pressed his heart, smiled and kissed dear Edward's mouth, and Edward's eyes changed, and he hugged him to deepen the kiss.

After panting and pushing Edward away, Tang Feiliu tidied up his half-unfastened clothes, and complained, "How did you learn such things so quickly?"

Having said that, there is no real complaint.Edward smiled softly and said, "It's my fault." While buttoning his little suit well, he hugged him reluctantly and kissed him deeply.

The palace gates have arrived.

The Black Duke's carriage was relieved all the way, and they entered the palace on foot, climbed up the steps, and arrived at Her Majesty Josephine's bedroom.

This afternoon, Her Majesty Josephine was dressed plainly. When Edward and Tang Feiliu arrived, Her Majesty Josephine was in a daze. She only came to her senses when she heard the voice of the maid. She was wearing a beautiful iris. The flower ring, she raised her finger, showed it to Edward, and said softly, "Do you remember this ring?"

"...This is the crest of your natal family," Edward said softly. "You said that you wanted to inherit the real ring since you were a child."

"Yeah, sitting in this position, I still can't get the real power ring." Josephine sighed softly, and said with regret, "It's because I'm a woman."

She turned her head, looked at Tang Feiliu, and said softly: "Little guy, do you know that the temple says that men will go to heaven after death, but women won't...because women don't have souls at all, they are just made of men's ribs." system."

Tang Feiliu's eyes widened. He really didn't know about this. After all, if you said to a girl in modern times, "You don't have a soul, you won't go to heaven." You probably won't get humility and docility.

However, Tang Feiliu knows that this discrimination has always existed, even in the era of economic development, there are still absolute barriers—for example, Tang Feiliu's good friend, a very capable girl, but because of her beauty, her performance is very low. She was swallowed up by her boss to show her merits, and was said by the people below that she was selling Sao to her superior position; there was another girl, because she was doing her job in an orderly manner, but when she was on a blind date, she was directly contemptuously dismissed by the introducer. Agree to say to the man, "It's not a great job anyway, so you can resign and go home to be a full-time wife at any time"...

Those girls who are still living in a developed economy and have received higher education, or girls who can speak out, and whose parents support them, and some girls who live in a worse environment, may live similarly to women in this era.

So Tang Feiliu looked at His Majesty Josephine, not knowing what to say.

And His Majesty Josephine didn't intend to listen to Tang Feiliu's answer at all, she said softly: "The temple not only treats me like this, but also treats my brother... He fell in love with his personal servant, he is a very A talented and gentle person, he was originally the first heir of Faran, but because of this, he was caught by my uncle, and the temple let him execute the male servant, so that he can be guaranteed to be safe... "

Josephine was silent for a long time before continuing: "But he refused..."

Tang Feiliu swallowed. He didn't need to think about what happened afterwards. Fortunately, Empress Josephine changed the subject when she said this. She looked at Tang Feiliu and said, "...Little guy, you know that every year we How much do you want to donate to the temple?"

Tang Feiliu shook his head and looked at Edward.

"The temple has its own unique parish in every city and town of the Nat Empire. The believers in the parish directly pay taxes and donations to the church. In addition, the gifts and money donated to the temple every year on the pope's birthday... "Edward did not report the specific figure, and His Majesty Josephine said: "The money spent every year is enough to build two new Nat imperial cities."

Tang Feiliu didn't understand why he said this to him. Didn't he come here because of cholera?

And Empress Josephine spoke directly, she said: "Edward said, you know the cause of cholera."

"Yes." Tang Feiliu leaned nervously on Edward, and was patted by Edward soothingly. He mustered up the courage to face the emperor who seemed to be burning silently, "Your Majesty, I know the cause of cholera, and I know how to reduce the chances of everyone dying and prevent it...but I may not have a good way because it is already too serious."

"That's enough." Empress Josephine looked at him and said earnestly, "You can do whatever you want, whether it's bathing or cleaning, whether it's anything that violates the purpose of the temple, you can do whatever you want... There may be It will be sad for a while, but Edward will protect you well."

Tang Feiliu didn't understand what she was saying at all, Edward explained softly: "Your Majesty may announce everything you will do in the "Gazette" later."

Under Edward's explanation, Tang Feiliu probably understood that the "Gazette" is not a newspaper, but more like the predecessor of the newspaper. It is the latest way to issue government orders. After printing in the imperial city, it will be distributed to the nobles below. .

In this era, printing had already started and was enlightened by movable type in Asia. At this time, the largest printing houses belonged to the king, and more printing houses were used to print the scriptures of the temple.

And what Empress Josephine wants to do may actually be regarded as that she can't bear it, and finally mastered the ability. After countless small troubles, using the disgusting things in the temple as political chips...she doesn't want to continue playing Such a small game, but wants to really challenge the temple for the first time.

Of course, first of all, she wanted to see the effect of Tang Feiliu's actions.
