Queen and Her Duke

After walking around the shipyard for a whole afternoon, Wen Lin carefully observed almost every shipbuilding process.

From material selection to oil tankers and more than ten processes, the overall manufacturing process is not much different from that of Huaguo, but there is an obvious gap in specific operations. Huaguo's manufacturing process is obviously more sophisticated and complex.

At first Wen Lin kept silent, the steward thought she didn't understand anything and was just looking at it out of curiosity.

But when she saw the complete hull model, Wen Lin suddenly said,

"Gentlemen, if I beg your pardon for my rashness, why not add a gaff to the top of the sail and the bottom of the mast instead of the jib. This unbalanced schooner is obviously simpler and saves manpower,"

Immediately, the movements of several shipbuilders stopped. They looked at Wen Lin with strange eyes, and discussed in a low voice for a while.

"Beautiful lady, we all have a craft that has been passed down from our ancestors for decades. I have never heard of the gaff sail you mentioned,"

"Maybe you can try it, maybe there will be unexpected gains?"

Wen Lin's posture was always appropriate to advance and retreat, and her non-arguing attitude of suggestion made the shipbuilders reflect on it.

While Wen Lin was leisurely visiting other processes, they had a serious discussion.

The steward who followed was taken aback by Wen Lin's words. Just a month ago, Luo Duode, the most powerful shipbuilder in the shipyard, mentioned to him that the sails should be made simpler and more flexible.

His thoughts coincided with what Wen Lin said.

In an instant, the steward looked at Wen Lin differently. He suddenly thought of the famous oriental guests in the capital during this period, and the fact that Wen Lin was traveling with Her Excellency Humphers, the steward immediately thought about it.

"Miss Wen Lin, you seem to have some other ideas about our shipbuilding process?"

This boatyard is the property of the new noble Earl Eggers, and the manager is undoubtedly a Protestant, and his attitude towards women is more rational and tolerant than the people who believe in the Catholic Church.

In particular, Wen Lin also got close to the royal family's close officials, and her attitude of managing affairs became more and more sincere.

A dark light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, Wen Lin nodded slightly to the steward with a faint smile.

From the beginning to the end, her posture is gentle but not close. Coupled with the blessing of the two auras of "Oriental" and "Wang Ting", it is easy to make people feel good but not contemptuous.

After visiting the whole shipyard, Wen Lin had to admit that whether it was the geographical location, the ready-made equipment, or the experienced shipbuilder, they all tempted her crazily.

Isn't this the initial shipyard she envisioned?

It's a pity that Wen Lin knows very well that if she wants to own it, she can only plan it slowly and wait for the opportunity. Of course, money is an indispensable prerequisite.

But at least now she can leave a deep impression on the shipyard steward and shipbuilder, so that even if she has no chance to buy this ready-made shipyard, she can still find excellent shipbuilders in a reliable way when she opens her own shipyard .

Wen Lin picked out some details that can significantly improve, such as changing the traditional curved shape of the bow, installing a stern rudder at the stern...

He talked eloquently throughout the whole process, without any intention of concealing it, and in the eyes of the steward, it seemed to be a generous and generous demeanor.

The manager couldn't hide his gradually surging mood. If he could really take the lead in building faster and more flexible ships, he would no longer have to worry about the business of the shipyard.

In fact, Wen Lin is not unreserved. During the visit, she had a rough guess about the craft level of the shipyard and the profitable space.

The details mentioned just now, according to the current level of craftsmanship, even if Wen Lin didn't mention it, someone might bring it up in the next few years.

In particular, Wen Lin still kept a cautious eye. It would be best if the owner of the boathouse came to find her on her own initiative.

Before leaving, Wen Lin suddenly thought of Luo Duode, and she said something along the way,

"His lord Humphreys said that his friend Rodod is a very good shipwright,"

"Yes, miss," the steward affirmed without hesitation, but there seemed to be something hard to say on his bitter expression.

"Sir, can you tell me what happened?"

Shaking his head uncontrollably, the steward's tone was both regretful and a bit fearful,

"Some time ago, the villagers in Yinhe Village, the village where Luo Duode lived, were suffering from a strange infectious disease. Now no one dares to approach there. The church sent people to guard it, and no one was allowed to come out,"

infectious disease?Wen Lin immediately became vigilant. According to the medical methods of this era, if some serious infectious disease really broke out, it would be an unimaginably terrible disaster.

The literature of 21c records the Black Death that ravaged Europe for two centuries, killing almost two-thirds of the population in Europe, not including leprosy, cholera, measles and other diseases.

Thinking of this, Wen Lin couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle.

After asking about the location of Luo Duode's village, Wen Lin hurriedly bid farewell to the steward.

No matter what, Wen Lin decided to take a look.

After all, Wen Lin has been vaccinated with various vaccines and has a much stronger physique than ordinary people. Many incurable diseases in this era are useless to Wen Lin. prepare for.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Wen Lin told the coachman that she was going to Yinhe Village.

Unexpectedly, it was strongly opposed by the coachman.

"Miss Wen Lin, that is a village favored by the god of death. Once you enter, you can't get out,"

After pondering for a while, Wen Lin insisted, "Let's go back to the city first, and then you leave the carriage to me, and I'll go and see it myself,"

In this era, even a fever may kill one's life. Without any modern medical knowledge and medical methods being popularized,

In many cases, many infectious diseases are almost [-]% fatal.

Wen Lin could completely understand the driver's frightened reaction.

She wanted to persuade her again, but Wen Lin's resolute attitude was beyond the imagination of the coachman. How could someone come to her door to die?

There was really no other way, as soon as the coachman arrived in Wangcheng, he immediately ran back to Hanvers' mansion, wanting to report to him.

Unexpectedly, Hanfus entered the palace. After reporting the news to the mansion housekeeper, the housekeeper immediately arranged for someone to send a letter into the palace.

At the same time, Wen Lin successfully arrived at Yinhe Village before the last ray of sunlight sank into the horizon.

It is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a dozen or so families. From a distance, you can see two or three epidemic doctors in gray robes and beak masks walking around the village, and there are two rows of silver armored knights standing at the entrance of the village. .

Wen Lin was not surprised to see the plague doctor, but the silver armored knight was responsible for protecting the cardinal, why did he appear here?

After a long distance, Wen Lin stopped the carriage. When she got out of the carriage, she casually cut a piece of cloth from her robe and put it in front of her nose. Talking about it was better than nothing.

Thinking about his words, he approached, but was stopped by the silver armor knight from a distance, "Who are you, you are not allowed to approach here,"

"I'm a traveling doctor. Maybe I can provide some help to the disease in the village. Can you describe the patient's symptoms to me?"

The light was dim, and Wen Lin was far away. When the silver armor knights heard a woman's voice, they immediately became impatient and urged Wen Lin to leave quickly.

Not discouraged, seeing an epidemic doctor coming out from a distance, Wen Lin increased the volume, repeated it, and added,

"I have been cured of leprosy, fever, and gout,"

The last sentence successfully made an epidemic doctor turn around, he hesitated for a while, and replied loudly,

"The patient had intermittent chills and fever, consciousness mode, vomiting and convulsions, and died about a week after the onset,"

According to the preliminary judgment, it was a bit like the symptoms of gray leather fever. Wen Lin walked forward, and when she got a little closer, she could smell a foul smell coming from her nostrils.

Looking at this small village by the light of the torch, sewage and feces can be seen faintly on the winding path not far away, and a large amount of domestic garbage is piled up at the entrance of the village.

Frowning deeply, this is the first time Wen Lin has truly experienced the living environment of Golan civilians.

Narrow, messy, dirty, without any awareness of public health, it seems that there is no public sewage facilities in the village, just like a small village surrounded by garbage.

To be on the safe side, Wen Lin asked, "Sir, can you find a conscious patient, I want to ask him a few questions,"

The leading epidemic doctor nodded in agreement, and soon arranged for an assistant to find a patient.

The epidemic doctors have been here for two weeks, tried bloodletting, vomiting, urine test, and enema, but none of the patients showed signs of improvement.

Wen Lin who came here suddenly surprised them. Although she didn't quite believe what she said had cured many difficult diseases, she did not refuse out of the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wen Lin asked, "Are only people in the village infected? Did you get infected when you went in?"

"No," replied very coldly.

After seeing the patient and confirming some guesses, Wen Lin came to a rough judgment.

Limited by the lack of medical conditions, Wen Lin did not say for sure that it was gray leather fever, and people nowadays do not have the concept of gray leather fever, and most infectious diseases are collectively referred to as epidemics.

After sorting out her thoughts a bit, Wen Lin listed the countermeasures one by one.

"This may be due to the excessively dirty environment and infectious diseases transmitted through mosquito bites. The epidemic doctors took adequate protective measures so that they were not infected,"

"Burn the weeds, garbage, and feces in the village, fill up the sewage pits, and hang gauze curtains in the house. At the same time, you can try to smoke the house with wormwood to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes,"

"The most important point is that patients need to supplement nutrition through adequate food, meat and vegetables, it is best to eat more oats, peas, etc.,"

As soon as Wen Lin finished speaking, there was a voice to refute him,

"We are free from disease because God's goodness and mercy have given us the grace of obedience,"

The epidemic doctor standing at the back spoke eloquently, with a strong sense of pride in his words.

For him, it was a very honorable thing to enter the ward without being infected, and it reflected the protection of our Lord for him.

Seeing that the epidemic doctors were dressed tightly from head to toe, Wen Lin smiled and didn't say anything.

Gray leather fever will break out on a large scale, but fortunately, the Golan villages are far apart, and with the isolation measures of the church, the possibility of spreading is unlikely.

However, there is a lack of drugs extracted and synthesized by modern technology, and there is no other way except to rely on the patient's own immune system to resist.

After clarifying the situation, Wen Lin didn't intend to stay any longer, so she turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the leading epidemic doctor suddenly said, "Your Excellency, have you ever been to Xiz, or have you studied the writing of Xiz, and studied the medical classics of their country?"

"No," Wen Lin denied quickly, and was about to drive away without looking back.

"Wait," the leading epidemic doctor said again, trying to stop Wen Lin.

The silver-armored knights who were originally lined up on both sides suddenly flocked towards Wen Lin and her four-wheeled carriage.

In the dim light, the armor on the knight's body and the spear in his hand still shone with a biting cold light, and they surrounded Wen Lin with a dense chill.

The author has something to say: Today I arranged Xiaowen's study plan, such as "Soil-made Pesticides", "Soil Chemical Fertilizers", "Cement Manufacturing Technology with Soil Methods", "Treatment of Saline-Alkali Land with Soil Methods"...a series of soil..., most most

What's interesting is the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook". I wonder if you saw your grandparents reading it when you were young. Hahahaha, I was very impressed with this book when I was young~
