Because of the success of the experiment, Creek did not generalize the manure policy in the territory, but launched a larger-scale experiment. In addition to a small town, his barony also has four large and small villages. One of the villages is the fiefdom of James, the captain of the knights, and the other three are directly under his jurisdiction. In order to prevent possible troubles caused by large-scale use of manure, he first selected the smallest of the three villages directly under the Central Government as the test site. He collected the manure in late autumn, mixed it with soil, and buried it in the fields to prepare for next year's farming.
The villagers were very uneasy about this. They were worried that these dirty things would pollute the land, so Creek announced that if something went wrong, the baron would be responsible for providing the village's food next year, and even in the future. This made them feel at ease.
No, it is no longer a matter of peace of mind. According to the reports of the bards sent by Creek to collect people's opinions among the people, many villagers even muttered things like "Would it be better if the fields were polluted?"
Hearing the news, Crick was really dumbfounded. Who said that a coward can't be knowledgeable? Isn’t this quite smart!
Many things, which were not seen in the small experimental field, were only discovered when large-scale farming was carried out - for example, the official responsible for the implementation quickly came to him for instructions: There is not enough manure in the village, what should we do
"Huh? There won't be enough feces?"
"Yes, sir, there is not enough feces." The official acted very responsibly and took out a piece of information. "According to estimates, ten times the amount of feces may be needed."
"Ten times?!" Creek thought for a long time. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out where to find so much excrement. He could only sigh and said, "Then let's use a two-pronged approach. While collecting excrement from the town, Use less.”
A few days later, the official came over again and reported: Many people have diarrhea. What should I do
"Why did you have diarrhea?" Creek was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and asked, "Did they not wash their hands or take a shower after working in the fields?"
"There is still hand washing, just find a river or a pool, but taking a bath? Is it necessary?" the official asked in confusion.
Creek sighed, speechless at this group of guys who lacked knowledge about health and hygiene.
"Pass my order." He said, "From today on, everyone working in the fields must take a shower after work every day! In addition, you must wash your hands before eating - use clean water!"
"What is clean water?" The official with a loyalty of 95 was very responsible and asked seriously.
"Water that has been boiled and then cooled," said Crick.
"My lord, this may be difficult," the official replied. "Boiling water requires firewood. The cost of this method is too high and farmers cannot afford it."
Crick sighed deeply, feeling that he might have been a little too hasty. He thought for a while and said, "Then build a filter tank. You can use raw water for bathing, and you must use water from the filter tank for washing your hands. By the way, Drinking water must be filtered too!”
"I'm sorry, sir, but... what is a filter tank?"
Creek couldn't even remember how many times he sighed today. He reluctantly found a pen and paper and drew a design for the filter tank for the official.
Funny to say, he learned this filtering tank when he was designing a villa decoration plan for a nouveau riche. At that time, the nouveau riche insisted on introducing river water into the yard to form a small river, but he also wanted the water in the yard to be clear and free of duckweeds. Weeds, at first he proposed several designs such as filters, but none of them could ensure the clearness of the river. In the end, he had no choice but to find a high school classmate who studied architecture. Under the guidance of that classmate, he designed the A complete plan including a water wheel, filter tank and reservoir - later this plan actually won a damn small prize, saying that it combines the "brightness" of science and the "beauty" of the farm, science, technology and humanities Integrated.
He was so impressed by this design that he naturally took advantage of it. But looking at the drawing, the official pointed at the waterwheel and asked, "Sir, what is this?"
Only then did Crick remember that there seemed to be no waterwheels in this world.
What's even more troublesome is that he doesn't know exactly how to build a waterwheel. After he originally designed the plan, the waterwheel was built by the decoration team. The foreman of the decoration team built the waterwheel easily without even asking him.
"Let me think about how to make this thing..."
He closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally sighed.
Damn it! Won't…
"Forget it, you dig a pond by the river, lay sand on the bottom of the pond, build the walls with bricks and stones, and build a filter layer on the side near the river..." After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an alternative. After talking about the plan for a long time and drawing several pictures, the official with eleventh intelligence fully understood what he meant, nodded and left.
"Nah! Fortunately, this guy is still smart. If his intelligence is eight or nine..." Creek sighed deeply, imagined the situation, and couldn't help but shudder.
"It's so good to travel back in time! I'm a noble lord, all kinds of hard work... If I have the chance to travel back in time, who will talk to me about the medieval or ancient pastoral scenery, I will go to the toilet Put a bottle of urine and throw it in his face! There isn't even a water tanker in this damn place!"
After complaining, the problem of the sick people still had to be solved. He thought for a moment and set off to meet the two guys from the church headquarters of Yuanyuan Song who were noisy all day long.
Thomas and Nicholas lived in a separate courtyard. They quarreled every day. They only got quieter when praying to the great gods. In addition, they often quarreled even when they talked in their sleep. Creek sometimes felt that maybe the chief priest was so annoyed by these two guys that he gave himself two real masters.
When he told his purpose, Thomas immediately said that he knew the field of healing and could help the villagers cast spells to get rid of diseases. Nicholas sneered and asked him how much mana reserve he had? How many times can you cast "Dispel Disease"
When Creek heard what Nicholas said, he was suddenly curious and asked: "Then do you have a better way?"
"Of course there is. Although I am just a bard, I can also perform sacrifices. We can hold a small-scale sacrifice and pray for your majesty to grant a group of spells to get rid of diseases."
"...I can do this too!"
"But you can't think of it." Nicholas sneered and said, "Although you have high level of magic, you are stupid!"
Thomas was furious and the two quarreled again.
Creek sighed, looked at their attributes, and shook his head silently.
To be honest, Thomas was definitely not stupid. He had an intelligence of twelve, but Nikolay's intelligence was as high as sixteen, and he was indeed qualified to despise Thomas based on his IQ.
… But in terms of force, the situation is reversed.
After a while, Crick took Nicholas, who was bruised and swollen but looked as proud as if he had won a battle, and set off to the village to hold a sacrificial ceremony. Thomas, though he had won the battle, looked depressed and sat in the room to break his heart. He read, and repeatedly scolded him with words such as "Damn bastard" and "Isn't it amazing how clever he is?"
I have to admit that a magical world is all about convenience. If the villagers suffered from collective diarrhea, it would inevitably make the town health center extremely busy. But in this world, after a sacrifice of about half an hour, accompanied by the singing of Nikolai's harp, powerful magic swept across the square where the sacrifice was held, and the villagers who had been so pale and weak in the legs not long ago quickly recovered. Health made Crick almost shout "This is not scientific".
This time the incident of collective diarrhea among villagers came to an end. It was probably a blessing in disguise. Creek quickly ordered the construction of several more such filter ponds in his own territory to provide clean water sources for the people.
In addition, he also strictly required the villagers not to drink raw water but to drink boiled water. To this end, a special clerk was even appointed in each village to oversee this matter.
Hygiene is a top priority and should not be underestimated!
Sui Xiong was paying attention to Creek's administration from a distance. When he saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, realizing that he seemed to have never noticed this.
"Sterilization, prevention of infectious diseases..." He muttered to himself for a while, suddenly remembered something, and came to Akane's place.
Akane is currently still researching mushrooms. In addition to maintaining the adventure maze, he usually studies his mushrooms. Over the years, he has worked hard on mushrooms and developed many very practical varieties. The mushrooms in the maze have been changed for several generations. Even in the deep mountains of Longhou Town, the new variety of mushroom monsters he cultivated were bred in large numbers. Those mushroom monsters are very low-risk, but they can quickly decompose the flesh and blood of the monster's remains, making the stench that could be heard everywhere in the mountains gradually disappear.
"Bacteria? Infection? Infectious disease?" Sui Xiong originally thought that A'Kane didn't understand these things, but he didn't expect that when he said it casually, A'Kane nodded repeatedly, and then told a lot about Sui Xiong's past time travel. The health and epidemic prevention knowledge I have heard is something that can be used correctly.
This was such an unexpected surprise that Sui Xiong couldn't help but ask: "So you already knew this?"
"Our Pasteur school originally studied bacteria and fungi." Akane said with a smile. "My great-grandfather Krahot divided all tiny organisms in the world into Two categories. Those with animal nature are called bacteria, and those with plant nature are called fungi. Through research on bacteria and fungi, he invented the famous Pasteur liqueur and Pasteur cheese... Your Majesty, you will not You haven’t eaten these, have you?”
"Holy shit! Your great-grandfather invented Pasteur cheese?!" Sui Xiong was shocked and immediately stood in awe. He never expected that his ancestral research as a mushroom expert would be so advanced - Pasteur German cheese is a famous high-end food, very expensive!
At Sui Xiong's request, Akane put aside his research on mushrooms and began to focus on the study of bacteria. Sui Xiong's order to him was to study several common infectious diseases. What exactly are they? How is it contagious? How to prevent and treat it? Come up with a plan that uses as few spells as possible.
"Why not just use magic to get rid of the disease?" Akane asked.
"Because I hope that ordinary civilians can afford it." Sui Xiong replied.
At the same time, in a gloomy and rotten world, the God of Plague suddenly shuddered.
