Chapter 154 Medical School 2
Paul pursed his lips toward the classroom and asked: "How are 'they' doing?"
Irene asked strangely: "Who?"
“Those women who were rescued from pirates.”
“Oh, you mean them.”
At this point, the female consultant became extremely angry.
“Those scumbags are so abominable, Earl, do you know? Some of them were even kidnapped to the island when they were still young, and then forced to do that kind of thing. Disgusting things. You should hang all those pirates, none of them are innocent."
She took a breath and said in a very worried tone: "As for these poor people. To be honest, the performance is not good. Due to the long-term imprisonment, they lack all kinds of life skills of ordinary people. Those who were kidnapped since childhood even have difficulty speaking and communicating. "
Paul was a little confused after hearing this: "Is it so serious? Really, when can I start working in this case? Don't I have to support them for a long time in vain?"
When Irene heard this, He exploded: "Paul Graiman, do you still have humanity left? They have all been reduced to this, and you are still thinking about how to exploit them."
Then she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was her employer, and it was really inappropriate to say it in front of him, but the words had been spoken, and she had no intention of taking them back, so she glared at Paul angrily.
Paul was speechless. She was really an aristocratic lady who was inexperienced in the world, although she looked quite cute when she was angry.
He knew that the nobles in wealthy areas were keen on charity to help the poor, especially the ladies who had nothing to do all day long. They liked to use this way to satisfy the so-called "moral superiority" to occupy themselves. It’s a boring day, but they don’t know at all that their family’s money is derived from these poor people, as if it is natural that they can squander the money at will.
I originally wanted to retaliate with harsh words like "I don't have any extra money for charity" and "He who doesn't work won't eat", but after thinking about it, I decided not to argue with her anymore.
Paul spread his hands and said: "The way I expressed it just now may be ambiguous. But this does not change the reality. Miss Dias, maybe for the family you come from, spend a little money. It doesn’t matter if we have a few idle people, but for Alda now, every expenditure we make is prudent.”
Irene did not refute this time because she had never seen a nobleman as "poor" as Paul. Of course, the "poor" refers to his personal life.
Although in the past six months, many official and private "factories" have been opened, which has greatly increased the fiscal revenue in the territory, but after working with Paul for such a long time, Irene can understand more or less It turns out that Paul's army is a gold-swallowing behemoth. Whether it is the army or the navy, it requires a lot of money to maintain. This weird lord is really willing to spend money on his soldiers.
Recently, Hansel, the Minister of Agriculture of the Government Affairs Council, went south to the royal capital, gathering refugees along the way. These people need food and drink, and the lords along the way will not help. They can only rely on the Government Affairs Council to continuously send people south to deliver money, and Once the refugees arrive, resettling them will be a huge expense.
"But you can't just kick them out! Without any skills, they can only..."
Irene couldn't bear to say the next words.
Paul suddenly thought of a good idea: "Look at this. Most of my soldiers are single. How about giving them to the soldiers as wives? They can also enjoy the treatment of military dependents."
Just now When he was feeling smug, he didn't expect that this "good idea" would deeply hurt Irene, because she ran away because she opposed her father's forced marriage arrangement.
Ah! This world is so unfair to women.
“Count Grayman!”
The consultant’s face quickly turned cold.
"Even if you are a lord, it is too much. Don't forget that you said before that you will not treat people rescued from pirates as slaves."
Then she raised a bird with great solemnity. Hands said: "I... Betty Diaz swears to the Father in Heaven that she will let them memorize all the knowledge in the "Manual" and be able to understand the words on it, so as to become a qualified person as you call it. Medical staff'. "Paul was surprised, really, but just thinking, why was she being so serious.
But it is a good thing that she is suddenly so motivated.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Dias."
But I heard the female consultant continue: "Compared to what I just said, there is another problem that needs to be solved."
"Oh? What problem?"
"Discrimination! Ubiquitous discrimination! In view of their In their previous experiences, many people criticized them secretly, and even made them jealous, describing them like degenerate prostitutes."
Paul shrugged: "This problem seems to only depend on time. It was solved slowly."
Seeing that he didn't care much, Irene was quite dissatisfied: "No, there is a more effective way. As a lord, you can issue a decree to prohibit these gossips. Punish those who gossip. ”
"Oh...Betty, you are so naive."
Before Irene finished speaking, Paul covered his head and shook his head.
"This will only have the opposite effect. Deliberately eliminating barriers will only create greater barriers. Once the law you mentioned comes out, their situation will be even more difficult. If they cannot behave like normal people If they cannot behave as normal people should, people will always look at them with colored glasses, and prejudice and suspicion will only get worse."
Irene was speechless. The count seemed to make sense, so she had to ask: "Then you just ignore it?"
Paul thought for a while and said: "The army needs its own independent health system. After they finish their studies, , I will arrange them into the military camp and set up a separate establishment. There is a closed management, which can reduce contact with ordinary residents. The rest can only rely on time."
Eileen suddenly became alert: "You don't want to continue to implement the 'good idea' that you just thought of? Besides, there are a bunch of grown men in the military camp, aren't you afraid of what will happen? Or is that what you want to see? Why?"
Paul said angrily: "My soldiers are not as miserable as you think. They are different from the ones you knew before. They are very strict, and they don't dare to risk their heads."
In Arda's army, rape is a very serious crime, and the punishment can be up to death. In fact, the armies of various countries explicitly prohibit this crime, but the enforcement is nothing more than strict and lax enforcement. The Arda army must be the most strictly enforced army in the world.
Of course, the physical needs of single soldiers also need to be taken care of, and Paul does not have the ability to make them behave like Puritans. Therefore, soldiers are not prohibited from visiting brothels during their vacation.
Irene snorted and said, "I hope so."
Then he turned around and returned to the classroom.
Paul said with emotion to Cecil, who was standing by and looking at his nose and nose without saying anything, "Women are really difficult to deal with."
The intelligence director said this Cai Cai said with sadness: "They always have privileges, especially a beautiful woman like Miss Dias."
"You are right, let's go find Morrison."< br>
