The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi hopes to establish a newspaper company and cooperate in the territory of Aqiyoli and Anas Kingdom - the newspaper company will be responsible for printing and publishing newspapers, and subsequent sales.

However, the published content, such as policies and current affairs, requires specialized personnel to collect, investigate and screen...

This aspect is best carried out by people from the Achiayoli Territory and Anas Kingdom—arrange full-time interviewers and investigators, and record the incident as soon as they are informed.

It was my first job as a reporter.

In the letters to Orville and Archibald, Xia Zuoyi described in detail the benefits of starting a newspaper company and publishing newspapers.

——The first is the rapid dissemination of information; the second is to improve the cultural literacy and level of ordinary people; the third is to entertain the public.

Newspapers are not limited by time, place and tools, and are easy to read.

Especially some information is suitable for converting into text to watch and understand slowly, and people can also pass the time when they are bored...

Moreover, the information and content that can be published in newspapers are diverse, which is helpful for people to understand policies and popularize laws...The dissemination of newspapers can gradually affect people's thoughts and concepts.

Xia Zuoyi bit her pen and almost wrote down all the benefits she could think of.

He sealed the letter and attached all the newspapers from the latest issue to the most recent one. After he tied it up, he put it in a log tube and was carried by the youth group to bring it to Orville and Archibald.

"Thank you, Youth League."

Xia Zuoyi touched the harder and sharper feathers on Qingtuan's wings. When the arc of the tail was scratched on the finger, there would be a faint pain. It is estimated that a little more force would cut a small scar on the belly of the finger.

"Chirp."

Qingtuan rubbed Xia Zuoyi's palm affectionately, then spread its wings and flew out from the wide window sill, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

Orville and Archibald wrote back quickly—they showed no small interest in starting a newspaper business and agreed to it.

Especially Archibald.

He even sensed keen business opportunities in the behavior described by Xia Zuoyi as "newsboys selling newspapers through the streets".

In his reply letter, he said bluntly—maybe more young and strong civilians can be recruited to sell newspapers and deliver letters or some light objects on a part-time basis.

Of course, in view of the limitation of speed and distance, the maximum delivery range of the newsboy and courier can only be specified between two cities, and the corresponding fee will be charged according to the distance of delivery or the size of the object...

If Xia Zuoyi thinks this method is good, they can have a detailed and comprehensive discussion on the specific details later.

There will be long and short distance post stations between countries on the Western Continent.

——There are professional messengers and envoys in the station, which are specially used to deliver some letters from the king or the nobles.

But if it involves more confidential letters, the king and the nobles will not use the post station to deliver the letter, they will send the knight to deliver the letter in person.

Therefore, some distant post stations are almost deserted.

The small noble manor owners and commoners sent slaves, or caravans and some short-term laborers to deliver letters.

After Xia Zuoyi read Archibald's reply, she immediately opened her eyes in surprise.

Isn't this the same city express? Archie's business sense is too keen.

Such a method is indeed feasible, but many aspects need to be paid attention to, such as personnel management, if the item is lost, or charges indiscriminately, etc...

Xia Zuoyi knocked on the table to think.

It is better to directly set up a logistics and communication station. It is better to separate the sales of newspapers and full-time delivery of letters or objects, so as to save unnecessary troubles in the future.

He intends to draw up a detailed plan and let the Youth League send it to Archie.

In addition, in order to thank Orville and his help, Xia Zuoyi asked Judit to take out a box full of felt toys.

The felts inside can be said to be his treasures, after all, they are all made of briquettes and snow balls that have fallen from their childhood, and the number is limited.

Xia Zuoyi picked and picked in the box.

He remembered that Orville really wanted to take one away last time, but he was not willing to give it away. This time... just a small felt.

After all, he is a kind person who knows how to reciprocate.

Xia Zuoyi picked out a black ball made of briquette hair, only half the size of a palm, with two white spots on it that act as eyes—it was made out of the pitifully rare white stripes on the briquette, and it took a long time to sort it.

Xia Zuoyi thought about it, and it seemed that the briquettes were rolled out when the body was small and the hair was short, and the amount was small.

Afterwards, they were piled up one after another, and when they got older, they were no longer balled into black balls, but tied into felt toys of little black tigers.

And there are four or five such black balls.

When Xia Zuoyi was thinking about it in a daze, the briquettes came over curiously.

The big head almost reached into the box and took out a felt, but Xia Zuoyi came back to his senses and grabbed the ear and pushed it away: "No, you gnawed on the last one."

A coquettish grunt escaped from Briquette's throat, and his fluffy head lightly bumped against Xia Zuoyi's shoulder, and he was immediately rubbed.

Xia Zuoyi took two black balls and shook them in front of the coal balls: "Apart from the egg yolk, you are the one who sheds the most hair. These two are given away."

Briquette sneezed and shook his head indifferently.

The letter was written and the gift was sent.

After Xia Zuoyi let Judit take the egg yolks out for a stroll, she leaned on the table and began to analyze the plague events that happened in history.

He asked in his heart: "098, is it possible that the plague at the beginning of the novel is the Black Death?"

After all, the Black Death was too famous and the most terrifying in the historical period of the European Middle Ages-the plague of plague named "Black Death" almost swept across the entire European continent.

Fear spread across Europe at the time, claiming nearly a third of the population.

Because the medical and sanitary conditions are extremely backward, there are garbage dumps, feces and smoke everywhere, which led to the sudden outbreak and widespread spread of the Black Death when everyone was caught off guard.

The spread of the Black Death was fast and the onset was rapid...

In addition, people did not realize at the beginning that this is a disease that can be transmitted through rat flea bites, skin, saliva, etc., so that they have no awareness of prevention at all.

The Black Death didn't give people much time to react, and they started killing people continuously.

Once people get the Black Death, people will gradually have a fever, vomit, and the skin will be congested until necrosis... Finally, they will meet death very quickly, and the corpse will grow black spots, and the death looks horrible.

When Xia Zuoyi was collecting information, he came across such a description - the whole city seemed like an empty city, filled with boundless fear and loneliness, social disorder, moral corruption, and a surge in crime rate...

Patients died in the house without anyone noticing, rotten corpses were lying on the street or buried directly in pits, corpses piled up in piles... until the animals wandered on the street, no one managed them.

This kind of description is too similar to the beginning description of the plot in the novel, and it is also the background of the backward period of the West... Xia Zuoyi guessed that the disease that may cause the epidemic is the Black Death.

But this cannot be too absolute.

Because in addition to the Black Death in Europe, there are influenza and smallpox, both of which were once the most serious infectious diseases in the West.

If the judgment is wrong, the cost is more lives.

As for Xia Zuoyi's guess, 098 said that there is a high possibility that it is the Black Death, and another part may be the flu.

There are too few descriptions of the symptoms of the epidemic in the novel to be sure, but he can make precautions based on assumptions.

Xia Zuoyi wrote the Black Death and circled it, muttering to himself, "The Black Death is actually the plague."

"Rats love to live in a messy environment, where they breed bacteria and viruses... It can be seen that the outbreak of the Black Death and its rapid spread have a lot to do with the dirty and sanitary environment..."

But people don't realize this.

They pinned their hopes on doctors, the Holy See, and prayers from the Bible... Later, they also realized that diseases may be spread through the air, but the means they used to prevent them turned out to be to spray water made of spices into the air, or soak rose petals Water...to achieve the effect of purifying the air.

It is conceivable that no matter how much they spray, how fragrant the air is, it is in vain.

Leaving aside churches and praying to the Bible.

At that time, doctors in the Middle Ages believed in the "theory of temperament and humor".

——There are four kinds of fluids in the human body, which are blood, mucus, black bile, and yellow bile—corresponding to the heart, brain, stomach, and liver.

These four kinds of liquids all have their own properties, and when they cooperate with each other improperly, it will affect people's health.

Therefore, doctors in the Middle Ages generally believed that excess blood was the main problem causing diseases, so bloodletting became the most important treatment.

This also caused a phenomenon-people who contracted the Black Death would die faster under the treatment of doctors.

The difference is whether death is more or less painful.

Fortunately, doctors still know a little medical knowledge.

They knew that they had to be treated separately from the patients who had the bubonic plague, and their duty as doctors made them think of ways to get close to the patients.

Therefore, doctors will wear wax-soaked linen robes all over their bodies, wrap themselves airtight and tightly, wear wide-brimmed hats and protective glasses on their heads, and masks shaped like beaks.

——The long beak mask can filter the air, hence the name "Bird" doctor.

If the epidemic is really likely to be the Black Death, Xia Zuoyi can guarantee that the source of the disease will not appear in the territory of Designia, but other places...

Who knows where the source of the disease will suddenly emerge...

Xia Zuoyi wrote down the San Airo Empire on the paper, tapped the dots to draw circles—it is worth noting.

He analyzed the appearance and symptoms of the flu again, and finally put the paper full of handwriting into the fireplace and burned it. Watching the last ashes go out, he sighed a little.

"098, the plot deviation is already 50.00%, after the plot starts, will I still fall in love with the male lead because of force majeure?"

[No, host. 】

Xia Zuoyi touched her white and tender neck and thought—that's good, stay away from the brainless, and be beautiful alone!
