Chapter 431 Foreigner

Crete stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, hello, I am very happy to come to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is a vast, beautiful and rich country. ”

"Well, Mr. Crete, please be seated."

Jerry. Polo continued: "The second is called Hans, a Roman, who is proficient in medicine, especially surgery, whose ancestors studied with the famous Arab physician Abu Qassos, and is almost a household name in the city of Venice, the third is called Ruk, who is good at architecture, especially Byzantine architecture, and the fourth is a lady, and the only lady among them, named Nina, an Englishman, Madame Nina is good at law, and her ancestor was the dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Paris. Because of a dispute between the then King of England and the King of France, Sina's ancestors returned to the Kingdom of England, and Sina is currently the Principal Professor of Law at the University of Oxford, Link, a Venetian, proficient in ...... The skills of the above twenty-one people are recorded in the book, please see the emperor, and their requirements are also attached to it, and the subordinates have the courage to agree for the emperor. ”

I heard Jerry say that the Venetian Arsenal was built in 1104 and is one of the earliest large-scale arsenals in Europe, and since this Crete is the chief engineer of the Arsenal, it must have some ability, as for the University of Paris, known as the mother of the world's universities, the later famous Oxford University and Cambridge University are copies of the University of Paris, Nina, as the chief professor of the Oxford University Law School, should also be a talent, and several other people are scholars and experts who have unique characteristics in a certain field, it seems that these more than 20 people can be used by me.

I put Jerry's record away and said, "Very good, friends, I will arrange suitable positions for you according to your strengths, as long as you have real skills, I will definitely meet your requirements." At the same time, I also hope that you can live happily in my life, and if you have any problems in the future, Jerry can tell me, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree. ”

Through Jerry's translation, Nina said, "Your Majesty, I have two questions, can I ask?" ”

"Of course, Mrs. Nina."

"Your Majesty, what do you think about different religious beliefs?"

"Everyone has the right to religious beliefs, and as long as it does not violate the laws of our dynasty, I will treat everyone equally."

Nina smiled and said: "Very good, Your Majesty, I heard that you set up a department called the Independent Commission Against Corruption before, and gave this department independent judicial power, I am very interested in this, can you ask the emperor for advice?" ”

I smiled and said, "Beautiful Mrs. Nina, this question is very complicated, tomorrow I will talk to you in detail, not only the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but also I plan to talk to you about the differences between the laws of the East and the West." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, friends, you have come from afar, the journey is hard, you will come here today, Wen Aiqing, Li Aiqing, Ruan Aiqing, Mr. Jerry, at night in Tongle Building for everyone to wash the dust, you four as representatives of our dynasty, good hospitality guests from afar."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, Xiao Qi, I ordered Liao Yingzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Pu Shougeng, the president of the Red Cross Society, Shen Yiqiu of Lin'an University, and Quan Jue to accompany him in the evening. Jerry, early tomorrow morning, you bring Crete and twenty-one others to the palace, and I want to talk to you in detail. ”

"Yes."

After dinner, I came to the imperial study with Fang Ling and Quan Jiu.

"It's interesting to look at these logbooks." I handed the four logbooks to the two of them, opened Jerry's record myself, and looked at it carefully.

Early the next morning, as soon as Yuan Jian and Xiao Qi and I came out of the martial arts hall, we saw Zhou Gonggong reporting at the door: "The official family, Mr. Jerry and others are waiting for the decree outside the palace gate. ”

"Father-in-law Zhou, let them see me in the imperial study."

"Yes, official."

"It's the New Year, why is my father-in-law always sullen this week?" Xiao Qi muttered casually.

A quarter of an hour later, Grandpa Zhou took Jerry with him. Polo and the others came to the Funing Palace, and Xiao Qi arranged everyone to rest in a big room next to the imperial study, and took Jerry to the imperial study first.

"Subordinates see the emperor."

"Excuse me, Jerry, sit down."

"Your Majesty."

Jerry. Polo has lived in Lin'an for a long time and is quite familiar with various etiquette.

"Jerry, I've read all the information about the more than twenty people you recruited, and judging from the records, they are all available talents in our dynasty. I'm going to do an interview today to see how I can arrange for them. ”

"Your Majesty, most of them don't have low requirements for Yulu, I wonder if the emperor will accept it?"

"That's no problem, I've seen it all, it's not outrageous, after all, they left their homeland, and they hope to get better pay." I smiled, "Mr. Jerry, I promised you that I would give you a reward for every talent you recruited, and after the interview, I would notify the palace to pay you this reward." ”

"My subordinates have thanked the emperor first."

"Well, Jerry, you come to be the translator, let's come one by one, you call Crete in first."

After Crete finished saluting, he first said: "Hello, Emperor, your food here is very delicious, and I like it very much." ”

"Really? That's good, I hope that you can all adapt to the life of our dynasty as soon as possible, and if you are interested in the future, you can all stay in our dynasty, just like Mr. Jerry, and become a citizen of our dynasty. Crete, what do you think I want you to go to the Powder Supervisor to assist in the improvement of firearms? ”

Crete said, "Firearms? What is it? ”

I smiled, took out my small pistol and handed it to Crete and said: "This is a kind of firearm, firearm is a kind of gunpowder as the starting point of the shooting weapon, and the nature of cold weapons is completely different, at present, the development of gunpowder in our dynasty is far ahead of the world, but this kind of firearm still has a lot of problems to improve, if you are interested in this, I can let you go to the gunpowder supervision first, however, I want to explain in advance, the firearms supervision is one of the forbidden places in our dynasty, if you plan to join it, you need to abide by the rules." If you are not interested, you can take up a position in the Armory, which is similar to your arsenal. ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand this. Your Majesty, I'd better go to the Firearms Superintendent first and make a decision later. ”

"Yes."

According to my suggestion, Luke readily accepted my arrangement and joined the design department under the Ministry of Industry as a designer, and the task I gave Luke was to integrate the architectural characteristics of the East and the West, and build a number of distinctive buildings in Lin'an City.

Next up was Hans, a surgeon who knew how to do medicine.

"Hans has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Hans, I intend to send you to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and set up a separate department for you to specialize in surgical research, and at the same time serve as a professor at the School of Medicine of Lin'an University, responsible for teaching the surgical specialty of the Medical School, which was not available before, and was specially set up for you."

Jerry thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, Hans is good at surgery, but the mortality rate is very high during the treatment, even in Venice, he is regarded as a Frankenstein, and not many people are willing to visit his clinic, if it weren't for Hans's acquaintance with my family, I wouldn't have brought him to Lin'an, the emperor set up a department for him, is it a suspicion of making a fuss?" This sentence was not translated into Venetian, so Hans did not understand it.

"Of course not. Jerry, do you know the reason for the high mortality rate in surgery? ”

"My subordinates don't know."

After Jerry's translation, Hans said, "Your Majesty, I have been struggling with this. ”

"Jerry, Hans, surgery will have great prospects in the future, there is a war between our dynasty and Mongolia, and many treatments for the wounded need to be surgically cured, so I will focus on supporting this new department of Hans, and the mortality rate just mentioned is too large, mainly because the wound is unclean after the operation, which leads to the multiplication of viruses, which can cause infection. Jerry, you have been in my dynasty for a long time, and you should know that there is an old saying in my country, which is called 'rotting grass grows fireflies', which means that germs are easy to grow in unclean places. ”

Hans asked, "What are the germs?" ”

"Germs are the culprit of the source of the disease, the root of all diseases, and a type of bacteria, as for bacteria, Hans, you can take a look at a textbook called biology at the School of Medicine of Lin'an University."

Jerry has read all the elementary textbooks of Lin'an University, and naturally knows this biology: "Hans, just look at it, this textbook was written by the emperor himself. ”

Hans was taken aback: "Really? ”

I smiled and said, "Hans, I only know part of it, there are still too many unknowns in the field of science, and it is up to you experts to dig out." At present, the Royal Academy of Sciences of our dynasty is developing medical disinfectant alcohol, as long as this medical alcohol is available, it can effectively prevent infection, thereby greatly improving the survival rate of patients after surgery. ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, then I will follow the emperor's will and go to work at the Academy of Sciences."

In the materials Jerry gave me, Hans was one of the few people who didn't have a requirement for money, and he needed the best labs and equipment I could provide him, including the patients.

"Well, Mr. Hans, I have one condition."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Mr. Hans, I will provide you with first-class laboratories, but you need to pass on your knowledge to my students without reservation. I hope that within a year, you will be able to train at least thirty excellent surgeons for our dynasty. ”

"Thirty? As long as these trainees are interested in surgery, there is no problem. ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

The fourth one to come in was Lady Nina, who was still charming.
