Chapter 95
Chapter 94
Shazoi hopes to establish and cooperate with newspapers in the Akiyori Territory and the Kingdom of Anas-the newspapers are responsible for the printing and publication of newspapers and subsequent sales.
However, the content of the publication, such as policy and current affairs, requires specialized personnel to collect, investigate and screen…
This aspect is best carried out by people from the Akiyori Territory and the Kingdom of Anas-arrange full-time interviewers and investigators to record the incident as soon as it is learned.
Be regarded as the first reporter job.
In his letter to Orville and Archibald, Xia Zoe detailed the benefits of starting a newspaper and publishing a newspaper.
-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 masses.
Newspapers are not restricted by time, place and tools, making it easy to read.
Especially some information is suitable to be converted into words 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 diversified, which helps people understand policies and the popularization of laws… The spread of newspapers can slowly affect people’s thoughts and concepts.
Xia Zoe wrote almost all the benefits he could think of while biting his pen.
He sealed the letter and attached all the newspapers from the latest issue to the recent issue. After binding it, he put it in a log tube and flew with the youth group on his back to bring them to Orville and Archibald.
“Thank you, Youth League.”
Xia Zuoyi touched the harder and sharper feathers on Qing Tuan’s wings, and the arc of the tail would give a faint pain on a person’s finger. It is estimated that more force would cut a small scar on the belly of the finger.
“Tweet.”
The Youth League touched Xia Zoe’s hand affectionately, then spread its wings and flew out from the wide window edge, and disappeared to the horizon in a blink of an eye.
Orville and Archibald wrote back quickly-they showed great interest in starting a newspaper and agreed with it.
Especially Archibald.
He even smelled keen business opportunities in the behavior of “newsboys selling newspapers” described by Xia Zuoyi.
In his reply, he said bluntly-maybe more young and strong civilians could be recruited, while selling newspapers and delivering letters or some light objects at the same time.
Of course, in view of the speed and distance limitations, the maximum range of the newsboy and messenger can only be specified between two cities, and the corresponding fee will be charged according to the distance of the message or the size of the object…
If Xia Zuoy thinks this approach is good, they can discuss the specific details in detail later.
In the Western Continent, there will be long and short distance stations between countries.
-There are professional messengers and envoys in the post, which are specially used to send some letters from the king or the nobles.
But if more confidential letters are involved, the kings and nobles will not use the post to deliver them. They will send knights to deliver the letters in person.
Therefore, some long-distance post stations are almost deserted.
On the other hand, the small noble manor owners and commoners were sending slaves, or caravans and some day laborers who sent out letters.
When Xia Zoe read Archibald’s reply, she immediately opened her eyes in surprise.
Isn’t this the same city express? Archie’s business sense is too allergic.
Such a method is indeed feasible, but many aspects need to be paid attention to, such as personnel management, if objects are lost, or random charges…
Xia Zoe knocked on the table and thought.
It is better to set up a logistics communication station directly, and it is better to separate the sales of newspapers and the full-time delivery of letters or objects, so as to save unnecessary trouble in the future.
He planned to draw up a detailed plan for the Youth League to give to Archie.
In addition, in order to thank Orville and his help, Xia Zuoy asked Udit to carry out the box full of felt toys.
The felts in it can be said to be his treasures, after all, they are all **** with briquettes and snowballs from the hair that they have fallen from childhood, and the number is limited.
Xia Zoe picks and picks among the boxes.
He remembered that Orville wanted to take one very much last time, but he was not willing to give it away. This time… he gave it a little felt.
After all, he is a kind person who knows how to repay.
Xia Zoe picked out a black ball made of briquettes hair, only half the size of a palm, with two white dots on it that acted as eyes. They were clustered out of the pitiful white stripes on the briquettes and sorted for a long time.
Xia Zuoy thought for a while, it seems that the briquettes were picked off when the body was small and the hair was short, and the amount was small.
After that, they started to gather up one after another, and when they were a little older, they would no longer form a black ball, but would form a felt toy of a little black tiger.
There are four or five such black balls.
When Xia Zoe thought about it in a daze, Briquettes came over curiously.
The big head almost reached into the box and took out a felt, but Xia Zoe recovered and pulled her ears a little bit away: “No, the last one was broken by you.”
A coquettish snoring sounded from the briquettes’ throat, and the fluffy big head gently bumped against Xia Zoe’s shoulder, and was immediately rubbed.
Xia Zuoy took two black **** and placed them in front of the briquettes and shook them: “Except for the egg yolk, you have the most hair loss. These two are given away.”
Briquettes sneezed and shook his head indifferently.
After writing the letter, send the gift.
After Xia Zoe asked Udit to take the egg yolks out for a stroll, he lay down on the table and began to analyze the plague events that occurred in history.
He asked in his heart: “098, is it possible that the plague at the beginning of the plot 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 called “Black Death” almost swept the entire European continent.
At that time, fear spread across Europe, taking nearly a third of the population.
Because the medical and sanitary conditions are extremely backward, garbage dumps, feces, and smoke are everywhere, which leads to the sudden outbreak and spread of the Black Death when everyone is caught off guard.
The Black Death spreads quickly, and the onset is rapid…
In addition, people did not realize that this is a disease that can be transmitted through rat and 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 respond, and it began to die continuously.
Once you have the Black Death, people will gradually develop fever, vomiting, blood congestion and necrosis on their skin…Finally, they greet death very quickly, and the corpse grows dark spots, which is terrifying death.
When Xia Zuoyi was collecting information, he saw such a description-the whole city is like an empty city, filled with boundless fear and loneliness, social disorder, moral corruption, and a sharp increase in crime…
The patient died in the house without being noticed. The rancid corpses were lying on the street or directly dug and buried. The corpse mountains were piled up… In the end, the animals wandered in the street without supervision.
This description is too similar to the opening description of the plot in the novel, and it is also the background of the backward period in the West… Xia Zuoy guessed that the disease that is likely to cause the epidemic is the Black Death.
But this cannot be too absolute.
Because in addition to the European Black Death, there are flu and smallpox, both of which were once the most serious infectious diseases in the West.
In case of misjudgment, the price is more human lives.
Regarding Xia Zoe’s guess, 098 said that there is a high possibility that it is the Black Death, and the other part may be the flu.
In the novel, the description of the manifestations of the epidemic disease is too little to be sure, but he can make precautions based on hypotheses.
Xia Zoe wrote about the Black Death and highlighted it, muttering to himself: “The Black Death is actually the plague.”
“Mice love to live in a messy environment, where bacteria and viruses breed… It can be seen that the big outbreak of the Black Death and its rapid spread have a lot to do with the messy sanitary environment…”
But people did not realize this.
They placed their hopes on doctors, Holy See, Bible prayers… Later they realized that diseases may be spread through the air, but the means they used to prevent them turned out to be spraying water made with spices into the air, or water soaked in rose petals. …In order 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.
The church, let alone praying to the Bible.
Doctors in the Middle Ages believed in “the theory of temperament and body fluids.”
-People’s body contains four kinds of fluids, namely blood, mucus, black bile, and yellow bile-corresponding to the heart, brain, stomach, and liver.
These four liquids have their own properties, and people’s health will be affected when they are not properly matched with each other.
Therefore, doctors in the Middle Ages generally believed that excess blood was the main cause of disease, so bloodletting became the most important treatment.
This also creates a phenomenon-people who have the Black Death will die faster under the treatment of doctors.
The difference is whether there is more or less pain at the time of death.
But fortunately, the doctors still know a little medical knowledge.
They know that they need to be treated in isolation from patients with the Black Death, and their role as doctors allows them to come up with ways to get close to the patients.
Therefore, the doctors will wear wax-soaked linen gowns all over their bodies, wrap themselves tightly and airtightly, and wear wide-brimmed hats, protective goggles, and beak-shaped masks on their heads.
—The long bird’s beak mask can filter the air, and the doctor “Bird’s beak” is named after it.
If the epidemic is really likely to be the Black Death, Shazoe can guarantee that the source of the disease will not appear in the Desinian territory, but elsewhere…
Who knows where the source of the disease will suddenly come from…
Xia Zoe wrote down the Empire of Saint Iro on the paper and clicked to draw a circle-it is worth noting.
He analyzed the appearance and symptoms of the flu again, and finally put the paper full of dangling handwriting into the fireplace and burned it, watching the last bit of ashes go out, he sighed slightly.
“098, the plot deviation value has been 50%, after the plot starts, will I still like the hero because of force majeure?”
[No, host. 】
Xia Zoe touched the white and tender neck and thought-that’s good, stay away from the brain, and be beautiful alone!
