Chapter 524 A More Appropriate Treatment
The occurrence of plague contamination alarmed Perfectcott, and even Princess Anne expressed concern about this matter.
This is certainly not the first time for the Victoria Empire to deal with this kind of thing.
In the long history of the empire, there are many records about the activities of the evil sect, but the usual practice is to leave the matter to the church to handle.
It is precisely because of this that the church is allowed to retain a large number of armed forces and can even form paramilitary organizations.
But the approach in the north was different, and Perficott chose to do it himself.
It is certainly advantageous to do it yourself, but the key to the problem is that the North has no experience in dealing with similar incidents.
Although the supervision department established by Purficott has the help of relevant departments of the empire and the support that Purficott has received from the church, this cannot conceal the fact that the entire department, from the leader to the most basic staff, has The fact that it is a newbie.
This also makes it possible for even something of this magnitude to alarm Perficott, the supreme ruler of the North.
However, Purficott showed great tolerance for the fact that the department he established did not know how to deal with this kind of thing when it first encountered it.
In the final analysis, the North is just a place that has only been established for three years and lacks a lot of things from top to bottom.
Perficott can understand why his knights are hesitant on this matter, and why they are unwilling to act according to the judgment made by the referee knight.
Being in a different place, Purficott could not guarantee that he would not hesitate at all.
From a rational point of view, the most appropriate thing to do at this time is to follow the advice given by the referee knight and "dispose" of the entire settlement.
But there is no doubt that it is unacceptable for the knights in the north to let them massacre the civilians they are supposed to protect.
This is not to say that these knights do not know good and bad, or that they are too holy, but the compassion, compassion, and empathy that people naturally have when facing this kind of situation.
Let me ask, if the people are "dealt with" directly when they are infected, what should they, the knights who are fighting on the front line of fighting the evil sect, do if they are also infected?
Should we also "deal with" them directly?
Perhaps nobles and knights are indeed different from ordinary civilians. Most rulers in this era can "deal with" ordinary civilians without hesitation, but whether it is for Purficott or her None of the knights could be so cold and rational.
And in Purficott’s view, if the civilians infected by the plague were really “dealt with” directly, although the spread of the plague could indeed be effectively controlled, the various consequences that would follow would be The problem remains a nuisance.
How she should make a decision is actually a matter of weighing the subsequent troubles or treating these civilians with humane care, which one is more trouble-free, or which one will have less subsequent impact.
After weighing the pros and cons, Perfectcott decided to handle this matter in a relatively more cost-effective way.
"Aunt Anne, could I trouble you to come?" Purficott turned his attention to Princess Anne. At this time, the existence of her, the royal heir, played a very important role. At the same time, she Personal condolences can also have a good effect. Hearing Purficott's question, Princess Anne nodded and agreed without hesitation: "You can rest assured to leave it to me, little Purficott. If you feel that there is something inconvenient for you to do, you can let me do it." I will arrange it.”
Although Princess Anne is a kind-hearted and kind person, she is not kind without bottom line and logic.
For matters like this, she had already consulted the advisers supported by the royal family and knew how to deal with them in the best way.
If Purficott doesn't have the right people to do the dirty work, Princess Anne doesn't mind letting some people from the royal family take over the job.
Of course, if Perfectcott had no such intention, Princess Anne would not mind solving the subsequent troubles for her.
However, Purficott shook his head and said: "This is not the best solution. Aunt Anne, you are only going to express concern about this matter on behalf of the royal family. Don't worry about the rest. I will handle it properly."
"What are you going to do? Do you really plan to send doctors to treat them? Those people are infected with the plague and it is almost impossible to cure. You should understand this." Princess Anne After persuading Purfict, she also didn't believe that Purfict was such an irrational person.
"I know, so I don't plan to send doctors, at least not many doctors." Purficott shook her head, obviously she did not intend to be blindly merciful: "Aunt Anne, on behalf of the royal family, you express concern about this matter. , and at the same time go to express condolences in person, so as to express the attitude of an empire that will not give up on every citizen.
At the same time, I will send officials from the north to accompany you there, and will bring a medical team and a medical team. A team of alchemy dolls.
Their nominal mission is to treat and care for people infected with the plague, but in fact they want to study the plague and find ways to cure and protect it. < br>
It would be best if they could cure these infected people, but if there is no hope of cure, they will also collect enough plague samples to study clearly what kind of plague it is and whether there is a way to prevent and cure it. ”
To put it simply, what Purficott plans to do is to provide humane care to those infected, but in fact, the fundamental purpose is still to target the plague itself.
After all, there were only a few hundred people in a settlement this time. Perficott's decision to sacrifice their lives was simple, but what if this plague broke out in Chernobog?
This city is now home to hundreds of thousands of people. She does not want this place to turn into Stratholme, and she is not Alsace who was led into the pit.
"I understand what you mean." Princess Anne nodded clearly. This is indeed more appropriate than "dealing with" it directly: "The empire does need to study the plague. This time we can It was discovered in time, but no one can guarantee that it will be discovered in such time before the plague spreads next time.
And what happened to the food contaminated by the plague should be thoroughly investigated to avoid it happening again. Something like this.
Little Purficott, do you have any clues or arrangements? If necessary, I can ask the Military Intelligence Department to cooperate with you."
"Military Intelligence? Forget it, the efficiency of those gentlemen is really unflattering." Purficott shook her head. As for the empire's intelligence department, she had already had enough of their inefficiency in Langton.
