Chapter 121 Food is gone
Most of the problems involve the solution to the Black Death, but the current problems are still relatively superficial, such as the way the Black Death spreads, the isolation method of the Black Death, etc.
These questions are diverse, but they cover all aspects of solving the Black Death, and even the manufacturing of anti-disease vaccines is one of the problems. The answer to the problem can be a paper, a newly invented equipment, or simply a good idea, without any restrictions on the form.
In order to solve the Black Death as soon as possible, Eugen even took the initiative to inform these doctors about some of the characteristics of the Black Death. Some of the contents here were gradually discovered using later technologies. Eugen proposed them like this, which easily exposed some contradictions.
However, he is the authority to deal with the Black Death, and his power is at its peak, so there will be no one who is blind to the eye for the time being. He will cause trouble for these issues.
Many questions in the game were raised by Eugen. Once all the questions were answered, they would be immediately sent to Eugen on the Italian Peninsula. He would find ways to actually test the effectiveness of the answer. In the crisis of disaster, Eugen is now in line with the old saying - seeking medical treatment in a hurry.
Among the answers sent, the quality is mixed, and Eugen needs to judge it himself. For example, some answers are used to treat patients with the Black Death by using the holy water from the Vatican Cathedral. Some people also mentioned burning indulgences into ashes and then soaking in boiling holy water.
Eugen would not look at any answers like this kind of religious superstition, but just threw them aside, thinking about how many times it would be used when it was on a large account.
However, there are some answers that are very valuable, providing Eugen with different ideas, and it can even be said to have helped him solve some major problems.
Just like a well-known scholar from the French Empire, he mentioned that diseases may be dependent on gold coins for transmission. People have a very close relationship with gold coins, and even if they are isolated, things like gold coins are difficult to restrict circulation.
If you are not careful, originally healthy people are likely to be infected by collecting the patient's gold coins.
This is a very simple truth, and the rationality can be easily seen, but if no one proposes it, it is very likely to be ignored.
The day after knowing this answer, Eugen immediately ordered the strict control of the property of the quarantined person, and all the property of the quarantined person must be handed over and kept temporarily by the official until the original property is returned after the quarantine period is over.
Once this decree was promulgated, it was subjected to strong resistance. Its intensity even made it impossible for the decree to be implemented, and the soldiers responsible for the execution were also subjected to some personal attacks.
After all, in this place, the concept of personal property has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Whether it is the emperor of the empire or the religion representing the divine power, they have no right to deprive a person of their property. Depriving property is an act that only robbers can do.
Not only these quarantined people, but even in the Vienna Palace, there were people attacking Eugen because of this incident, calling Eugen a "barbaric robber" and demanding that Eugen be deprived of all his power.
This man is naturally the man in the Duke of Lorraine, with the purpose of weakening Eugen's reputation and creating opportunities for his son Frossi.
He just handed over the document attacking Eugen, but was directly suppressed by Prince Eugen. His reply was only one sentence: "You can do it!"
The words are short but very powerful. One sentence shows Eugen's current status. Eugen is the only one who dares to fight against the Black Death. No matter how fierce the other nobles call them, they do not have the ability or courage to fight against the Black Death.
So this incident ended up like a breeze blew through, and it didn't cause much trouble.
As time goes by, the property control order was finally implemented, and the rigorousness of the isolation measures has entered a new stage.
At this time, the defense line had been moved to the second line of defense - the Cosenza River defense line. The original Leicheng isolation area was abandoned, and after Eugen and others left, it turned into an empty city. The supplies in the city were evacuated and all the personnel had been evacuated.
When the Black Death bacteria gather in large quantities, they may even be transmitted through the air. Eugen dared not take this risk, which is the main reason for the evacuation.
Along the way, the number of patients onset began to decrease, and the spread of the disease was suppressed to a certain extent. This is a great gain.
As the defense line is transferred to the inland, it becomes difficult to control mice and other animals. Fortunately, the Cosenza River can play a certain role in blocking it.
On the third day after moving to the Cosenza defense line, Eugen was sitting in his room reading the answers sent by Heidelberg when a personal guard suddenly broke in and said in panic: "Big... Sir, something went wrong."
Ougen frowned. He put down the letter paper in his hand, glanced at the guard lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's wrong?"
When you hear the words, it is hard to imagine that this words were spoken from the mouth of a young man in his early twenties. Although Eugen was young, his words had a hint of striking majesty. It was an indescribable momentum. Only those who had been in high positions for a long time would gradually appear.
Eugen has indeed suffered some hard work these days, but it is all worth it. After all, he has gained a lot from it.
The guard still looked a little panicked, but he still tried to calm down and said, "That's right, Lord Eugen, our food is not enough..."
A moment later, Eugen came to the place where the guards were hoarding food.
A few kilometers south of Cosenza City, there is a huge manor. Several large warehouses in the manor store the food from the supply house, and the pastures in the manor store thousands of cows.
The Duke of Ji'an gave Eugen a lot of support, one of which was food, including a large amount of grain bread, fresh vegetables, and beef from the mainland. Naturally, this food could not be provided for free, but was funded by the Duke of Ji'an and purchased by Eugen from those grain suppliers. The channel was also introduced to Eugen by the Duke of Ji'an.
In the manor, the number of cows has not changed, and then the granary that should have been fully filled is now empty. Four of the five large granaries are empty, with only one granary containing half of the warehouse of grain.
Although half of the warehouse seems to be a lot, in fact, the food in these five granaries is planned to supply them all for one month's consumption, and now only half of the warehouse is left, which means that if the status quo remains unchanged, these foods will only be enough for them to eat for three days at most. Even if they save some and reduce the daily grain supply, these foods can only last for five days at most.
