Chapter 60 The Beginning of a Miracle
Weisenberg’s annual working meeting was held on December 20 in Weisenburg City. Baron Friedrich von Wesson, Lord of Wesson, attended the meeting and delivered an important speech. Family knight Old Franz, Administrator Frick, Tax Officer Neuer, Judge Otto, Medical Officer Frank, Vice President of Weissenburg University Manuai and others attended the meeting.
Baron Wesson summarized the 1024 annual work in an important speech, analyzed the current situation faced by Wesson, and deployed the 1025 annual work.
The meeting believed that this year is an extremely important year in the history of Weisenling. We have overcome the grief caused by the loss of loved ones in the war and blocked the daggers stabbed in the shadows. Faced with the turbulent external environment and the arduous and arduous internal stabilization tasks, under the strong leadership of Baron Wesson, everyone faced the difficulties, forged ahead, coordinated the overall situation, established Weisenburg University, opened up new villages, and properly resettled and relocated. There are 65,535 residents, the construction of the Carolina Canal has officially started, a number of high-tech industries have emerged, commercial trade has become increasingly prosperous, prices have been basically stable, food security and people's lives have been effectively guaranteed, and overall social stability has been maintained. Achievements are not easy and should be cherished.
The meeting pointed out that the current foundation for the development of Weisen Territory is not yet solid, and the newly moved residents are still under great pressure on the stability of their hearts, food security, and territorial defense. The external environment is harsh, which brings potential risks to the development of the territory. However, we must note that our economy is highly resilient, has great potential, and is full of vitality. The benefits of various new industries continue to emerge, and economic development is expected to rise overall next year. We must strengthen our confidence in doing a good job in economic work.
The meeting emphasized that to do a good job next year, we must adhere to the general tone of making progress while maintaining stability, do a good job in dividing administrative regions, ensure food supply security, ensure the supply of industrial raw materials, do a good job in military building, and vigorously develop health care, education and training, literature and art sports industry, improve the legal construction of employment and salary guarantees in commerce and industry, adjust tax policies to promote industrial and commercial development and expand domestic demand, and make a good start for the comprehensive construction of Weisen.
Gorgeous dividing line
The day after the meeting, Frederick came to Frank's office in the Executive Yuan.
Frank was still in a daze sitting behind his desk. He originally wanted to be a doctor for a noble lord, but how could he become an official now?
"How is the office?" Frederick asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door, "Whatever is inappropriate can be changed."
Frank immediately stood up to greet the leader.
Frederick sat down with him on the sofa and asked Tarot to make tea. At the same time, he asked: "Is the family settled?"
Frank replied: "The house has been found. I lived in it because the owner was still hanging on the city wall and no one dared to buy it. In the end, I was given the advantage."
Frederick nodded lightly.
When he was chatting with Thomas last month, a tax official came to report that all the cotton coats issued in a new village were ordered by the village chief to take out the cotton. The village chief mixed the cotton with half of the donkeys in the village. He took the donkey cart and sold it.
Frederick immediately summoned Jurgen and others to lead troops and surrounded the village, and the village chief quickly recruited them.
The village chief came from a grocer's family in the city. The brothers all became village chiefs because they could write and do math. As soon as they secured their positions, they started reselling things, not just cotton and donkeys. Even tools and rations were sold a lot.
In the end, the offenders of the family were put into iron cages, first hung on carriages for touring exhibitions in the territory, and then hung on the city walls. Their families had no choice but to sell their property and move away.
Frederick came over for business this time. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "I was busy with other things before, so today I have the opportunity to talk to you about work."
< br>“Last month I went to the village to inspect the tax collection work, and I heard something about medical matters.”
"You also know that doctors are very few in number because of their professional expertise. They are only available in cities and towns. Farmers in the villages have to go to the city if they want to see a doctor when they are sick. Many people die of emergencies, and some people need to I am busy with farming, and during the slack time, I have become seriously ill and difficult to treat. "
"I have a plan for you to preside over the compilation of a medical book. This book does not need to cover complicated diseases, but mainly some common diseases. Diagnosis and cheap treatment methods. "
"For medicine, you can go to Professor Friedrich at Weisenberg University, who is now committed to researching cheap and effective drugs."
" This book uses easy-to-understand language, preferably even a literate farmer can understand it, and it can provide the right medicine. ""Then I plan to open a training class and select a smart young person from a village to do it for a short period of time. Training, as long as you can rely on this book to identify common diseases.”
"This book, coupled with Professor Friedrich's cheap medicinal materials, can allow many patients in the village to receive timely treatment."
"In addition to doctors, midwives also plan to train in this way."
Frank stood there in a daze holding the tea cup. The existence of the "barefoot doctor" was beyond his two generations, and it was difficult to understand for a while.
Frederick has been thinking about the Barefoot Doctor for a long time, but there are some prerequisites that need to be solved. Without papermaking and printing, there is no way to print out relevant manuals in large quantities; without finished drugs, these amateur doctors need to spend a lot of money. Spend more energy studying pharmacy, which increases the cost of learning.
Now that these conditions are beginning to appear, he begins this work.
Frank thought for a long time, put down the tea cup and said: "This work cannot be completed by me alone. I am good at internal medicine and obstetrics, and other experienced doctors need to be done."
"I think it can be done by myself." This work is very meaningful. I can write to my professors and classmates at the medical school and invite them to complete it together."
Frederick thought for a moment and asked: "There is no medicine at Weisenberg University now. Hospital, I wonder if you can invite the authority to open a medical school here. While teaching, you can also write this medical book."
"I am going to fund Weisenberg University to write an encyclopedia. There is no medical one yet. Encyclopedia, I plan to sponsor you to take the lead in inviting doctors to write the medical part of the encyclopedia."
Then he took out a piece of rough hemp paper from his pocket and printed a few words on the bottom of a teacup as he did last time. The watermark is then handed to the other party.
"We in Wesenland are studying new text carriers." He said proudly, "When it succeeds, we can print cheap books in large quantities."
Frank was also instantly stunned.
The concept of encyclopedia has been around for a long time. Some people have tried to write it alone. However, due to limitations of personal financial resources, ability and life span, only small-category encyclopedias have appeared.
It’s true that no one has thought about asking nobles for funding, but in this era when hand-written books are expensive, an encyclopedia is just a decoration, and the investment is large and you can’t pretend to be a big deal. No rich man is interested in it. .
If an encyclopedia could be published in large quantities, Frank knew very well what it meant as a scholar to have his name appear on it.
Frederick looked at Frank with a smile. This was not the first time he had seen such an expression. He had the same reaction when he told Manuel about the plan two days ago. He even trembled all over and turned red.
More than ten minutes later, Frederick walked out of the office with satisfaction.
Frank no longer cares about him, talking about writing letters to those people.
