Chapter 121: The food is gone

Most of the problems involve the resolution of the Black Death, but the current problems are still relatively superficial, such as the way the Black Death was transmitted, the isolation method of the Black Death, and so on.

These problems are varied, but they encompass all aspects of the Black Death, including the creation of a vaccine against the disease. The answer to the question can be a thesis, a newly invented piece of equipment, or simply a good idea with no restrictions on the form.

In order to solve the Black Death as soon as possible, Eugen even took the initiative to inform these doctors of some of the characteristics of the Black Death.

However, after all, he is the authority to deal with the Black Death at the moment, and his own power is also in full swing, so there will be no one who will not be blind to trouble him on these issues for the time being.

Many of the questions in the game were raised by Eugen, and once the answers to all the questions appeared, they would be immediately sent to Eugen on the Italian peninsula, and he would find a way to actually test the validity of the answer----s.

Among these sent answers, there are good and bad, and it is up to Eugen to judge for himself. For example, some answers refer to the use of holy water from Vatican cathedrals to treat the Black Death, and others mention burning indulgences to ashes with fire and drinking them in boiling holy water.

But Eugen didn't look at any of these answers that involved religious superstitions, but just threw them aside, thinking that they would be useful when they would be on the tuba.

However, there are also some answers that are valuable, providing Eugen with a different way of thinking, and even helping him solve some big problems.

For example, a well-known scholar from the French Empire mentioned that diseases could be attached to gold coins and spread, and people had a very close relationship with gold coins, and even if they were quarantined, it was difficult for things like gold coins to be restricted.

If you don't pay attention, there is a high risk that a healthy person will receive gold from the patient, and then become infected.

This is a very simple truth, and it is easy to see the rationality in it, but if no one proposes it, it is very likely to be ignored in the past.

The day after knowing this answer, Eugen immediately ordered strict control of the property of the quarantined people, and all the belongings of the quarantined people must be handed over and kept by the official until the end of the quarantine period.

As soon as the decree was published, it was met with fierce resistance, so violent that it could not be carried out, and the soldiers in charge of its implementation were subjected to some personal attacks.

After all, in this place, the concept of personal property has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and neither the emperor of the empire nor the religion representing theocracy has the right to deprive a person of his possessions. Deprivation of property, that is the practice of robbers.

Not only these quarantined people, but even in the WYN Palace, there are people who attack Eugen because of this incident, calling Eugen a 'barbaric bandit' and demanding that Eugen be stripped of all his power.

This man was naturally the man of the Duke of Lorraine, and the purpose was to weaken Eugen's prestige and create opportunities for his son Fross.

It's just that the document attacking Eugen was handed over, but it was directly pressed down by Prince Eugen, and his reply was only one sentence: "You can do it!" ”

The words were short but very powerful, and one sentence showed Eugen's current status, and Eugen was the only one who dared to fight against the Black Death, and no matter how fierce the other nobles called, they did not have the ability and courage to fight against the Black Death.

So in the end, it was like a breeze blowing through and didn't make much waves.

Over time, the financial control order was finally put in place, and the strictness of the quarantine measures entered a new phase.

By this time, the entire line of defense had been moved to the second line of defense---- the line of defense of the Cosenza River. The original Thunder City quarantine area was abandoned, and after Eugen and the others left, it completely became an empty city, the materials in the city were emptied, and all the personnel had been evacuated.

When the Black Death germs gathered in large numbers, it could even spread through the air, and Eugen did not dare to take this risk, which was the main reason for the evacuation.

Along the way, the number of patients with the disease began to decrease, and the spread of the disease was suppressed to a certain extent, which is a big gain.

As the line of defense has moved inland, it has become difficult to control rats and other animals, but fortunately, the Cosenza River has been used as a line of defense, which can play a somewhat blocking role.

On the third day of moving to the Cosenza Line, Eugen was sitting in his room reading the answer sent by Heidelberg, when suddenly a personal guard broke in and said with a panicked expression: "Great ...... My lord, something is wrong. ”

Eugen frowned, he put down the letter in his hand, glanced at the guard lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, say slowly, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing the voice, it is hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of a young man in his early twenties, although Eugen was young, but he spoke with a hint of breathtaking majesty, it was an indescribable momentum, which only gradually appeared in people who had been in high positions for a long time.

Eugen did get a bit of a hard time these days, but it was worth it, because he had gained a lot from it.

The guard still looked a little flustered, but he still managed to calm down and said, "That's right, Lord Eugen, we don't have enough food......

Moments later, Eugen followed the guard to the place where the food was being stockpiled.

A few kilometres south of Cosenza, there is a huge manor house with several large warehouses for the supply of grain and thousands of cows on the pastures.

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 supplies from the interior of the mainland. Naturally, these grains could not be supplied for free, but were financed by the Duke of Ji'an, and Eugen came out to buy them from those grain suppliers, and the channel was also introduced to Eugen by the Duke of Ji'an.

The number of cows on the manor remained unchanged, and then the granary, which was supposed to be full, was now empty, four of the five large granaries were empty, and only one granary contained half a storehouse of grain.

Don't look at half a warehouse, it seems to be a lot, in fact, the grain in these five granaries is planned to supply all of them for a month's consumption, and now there is only half a warehouse of grain left, which means that if the status quo is maintained, these grains will only be enough for them to eat for three days at most. Even if you save a little and reduce the daily food supply, it will only last for five days at most.
