Count Grayman.
After hearing Pauls grandiose declaration, Eileen decided to throw so cold water on his enthusiasm.
If we are to promote this widely, well surely need a large number of such promotional booklets, wont we?
Of course. The booklet should use simple and understandable language, with common, easy-to-rember words to not only introduce sanitary knowledge but also serve as an enlightening read. With the help of the announcers, it should help those who see them to recognize so words.
So, how do we solve the manpower issue? We need many copyists. The recent exam selected a platoon of people with basic literacy, but they have all been assigned jobs. If we call them up, the heads of various departnts probably wont let them go.
Hmm That is indeed a problem.
Paul closed his eyes to think for a while, then suddenly opened them and slapped the table fiercely.
Ive got it!
He exclaid loudly, the idea having circled in his mind before but forgotten amidst recent busy events.
Printing! We can use printing.
Eileen and Ladi asked curiously, Printing? What is that?
Imagine this if we engrave the text in sequence on a wooden block, then apply ink, and finally press paper onto it before peeling it off
The two won imdiately understood.
Eileen excitedly said, The text will be printed on the paper!
Paul nodded: Exactly!
Ladi was also incredulous. Such a simple thod had never been used before. Lord Count, it seems you have invented another remarkable technology.
Paul blushed slightly: Invented? Haha, you flatter .
Indeed, once printing is widespread, a whole lot of copyists would beco unemployed. A mont of silence for his forr colleagues in the secretarial field.
With this problem solved, lets continue discussing the work of the Departnt of Health. Record everything Im thinking of now and organize it. I will take these records to the Administration Council eting to discuss in detail with the various heads, so we dont miss anything.
Yes, Lord Count.
Soon, Manager Hansel will set off to the south, continuing to recruit the talents we need and also bringing back a large number of southern refugees to bolster our workforce. The Foster family will also send us so refugees.
But these incoming populations might carry various diseases. If not handled properly, they could infect our locals, even potentially causing widespread epidemics. Therefore, I believe the Departnt of Health also needs to take on the responsibility of quarantine, checking the health of incoming immigrants.
Being scholars, do you two have so understanding of common diseases?
Both Ladi and Eileen nodded.
Good, then please compile your knowledge of diseases, including thods to identify them, for future quarantine personnel to learn. Perhaps you can discuss with Father Anderson, who also has considerable dical knowledge.
Rest assured, Lord Count.
Just as Paul was about to continue, a knock ca from outside.
He called out, Co in.
Chief Secretary Bernard imdiately entered, holding a docunt bag. A urgent docunt from the Staff Departnt for you, sir.
Bernard quickly approached the desk and placed the docunt bag on it.
Paul took out the docunt and quickly skimd through it, attracted by its title.
Everyone, celebrate! Our navy has just won a big victory, annihilating that slippery Mudfish.
Ladi and Eileen exchanged glances, both seeing the joy in each others eyes.
Thats great! With the Mudfish pirate gang eliminated, the remaining small gangs can basically be wiped out.
Lord Count, your overseas trade plan can finally be implented.
Let show you the detailed battle report.
Paul handed a stack of docunts to the two female advisors, keeping only the last two pages for himself.
The two won huddled together to read the report, but anger appeared on their faces as they reached the end.
These shaless pirates, they even captured civilians as slaves, not sparing even the children.
And they locked up the won they kidnapped for such atrocious acts!
Eileen was particularly enraged. Having experienced being forced into marriage by her father, she felt indignant about the societal oppression of won. Now, seeing sothing even worse than forced marriage, how could she possibly remain calm?
Paul seed unsurprised: This is quite common.
Miss Dias seed like a flower grown in a greenhouse. Not just in this dieval society where life was cheap, but even in the legally advanced Earth of the 21st century, such incidents were not uncommon.
Arent they afraid of Gods wrath for committing such heinous acts? Count Grayman, please ensure they are severely punished.
Eileens anger was also fueled by her and her female guards escape to the north. Had they been unlucky and fallen into the wrong hands, they might have ended up like those enslaved won.
The thought alone terrified her, preferring death over such a fate.
Ladi, although angry, was much calr, having witnessed many dark aspects of the world during her years as an adventurer.
Paul readily agreed: Of course, I will punish them severely. But calm down, both of you. Do you have any suggestions for these rescued slaves?
Eileen imdiately said, Send them back ho, of course.
Paul asked, What about those whose entire families or even villages have been slaughtered by pirates, leaving them with no ho to return to?
Ladi asked, What are your thoughts, Lord Count?
She looked at Paul sowhat anxiously. Slavery existed in this world, and though it had evolved from its ancient form of treating slaves as livestock, thanks to a millennium of advocacy by the church, they were still legally bound to their masters.
And Count Grayman had the right to take in the slaves from the pirates he had defeated.
My idea is, since we are recruiting immigrants, lets keep these holess people here, living as civilians under the Administration Council.
Ladi breathed a sigh of relief: Thank you for your rcy.
Eileen asked, What about the won among them?
Although she didnt want to admit it, in this era, it was extrely difficult for won from the lower strata to live alone. Without strength or knowledge, they either had to marry quickly or engage in disreputable professions.
Paul thought for a mont and said, How about we establish a hospital? Let these unfortunate won work as nurses.
