In June 1010, the joy of Egilna's annexation of Moscow, which had expanded the empire's territory to the east, soon faded. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because the Black Death is still spreading. The Norman Empire's intelligence network was almost paralyzed by the Black Death. Even some of the Norman territories in the south could not be fully controlled.

Only the northernmost Rus, Scandinavia and England. The intelligence system in these places is relatively well preserved. At the same time, this is also one of the few places in continental Europe that has not been invaded by the Black Death. It was also the most primitive territory of the Norman Empire, and the hope of the future revival of the Norman Empire.

Egil is desperate to maintain the status quo in these areas. In order to preserve the vitality of the empire - the expedition that sailed from the end of last year. Even those who took the least amount of time in the calculations, those who took the Suez Canal route, would need another six months or so to return. And the final outcome of this expedition is still uncertain. Egir could not have imagined entrusting the fate of an empire to a few explorers, as well as merchants. What would that look like?

Maybe it's described in legendary novels. In the moment when the kingdom was in despair, the king said to the brave man who had just met him for less than a day: "I have left it all to you, you are the last hope of our country." ”

It was hard for Egil to imagine that kind of scene. He felt that since he was a ruler, he had to stay strong at all times. The idiot who said that deserved to destroy the country - and of course, there was another conspiracy theory. Immediately after the king fooled the brave man away, the guard gave the order, and another brave man came. Then the king immediately said the same thing to the brave man.

And so on and so forth...... After hundreds or thousands of stupid beeps died, a stupid beep who was strong enough, or lucky enough, finally settled the matter. Then the whole world celebrates, and the world is peaceful. The deeds of the stupid beep have also been written to encourage the next generation of thousands of stupid beeps, so that there will be new stupid beeps available in the future. As for the hundreds, thousands, of the dead, people don't know about it at all, because no one writes about it. That's it, that's right.

Therefore, this world is not a paradise of individual heroism in the end. There is no such thing as a superman in his underwear, and a hero who can turn things around on his own is just a joke - hah?

So, if you want to do something to save this world that is falling apart, then being an emperor is more appropriate than being a fool.

Egil was doing just that—he had exchanged all the more than two million bonds he had earned in the war for the previous recipe for a Chinese medicine that could cure the plague. Fortunately, this time it was the medicinal herbs that were to be exchanged, not the soldiers. So don't think about inflation or anything like that. Egil could exchange more than four million copies at once for the price of 0.5 coupons per medicinal herb. And after having these medicinal herbs. Egil was enough to ensure the stability of England, Scandinavia, Rus' and the absence of the plague.

Of course, that's what I said. But what will happen in practice, no one can say. Regardless, though, Egil gets a chance to "look good". And for these medicinal materials, Egil also sees them as more important than the 100,000 army.

The emperor gave orders one after another. These medicinal materials are listed as "the most important strategic materials of the empire in extraordinary times". Officials of the empire were asked to "regard these things as more important than their own lives."

At the same time, he issued a threat that "whoever dares to embezzle these materials, even if it is a little, will be punished by the Nine Clans". There is also a threat that "whoever dares to slack off and cause the loss of these materials, even a little, will also be punished by the Nine Clans." And the last threat made the officials and nobles disappear at the last bit of luck" No one, even a duke, should not attempt to challenge the dignity of the Emperor. ”

Of course, supervision is equally important: "The Emperor will send his Knights of the Guard, the Knights of the Guard, and the Knights of the Royal Guard to oversee the transportation, distribution, storage, and use of medicinal herbs. In order to ensure the safety of these herbs, and if necessary, if the knights felt that someone or something threatened the safety of the herbs, they were allowed to act cheaply, and they were allowed to recruit the local garrison in the name of the emperor, and order the local nobles to assist, and those who did not obey were to be executed for disobeying the emperor's orders. ”

Under such strict orders, although the emperor did not dare to guarantee that there would be no madness who would go crazy and ask for money and not die against him. But the emperor believed that this would minimize his losses.

Soon, Egil's knights left Moscow with the baggage troops transporting medicinal herbs. They were accompanied by hundreds of doctors and nurses from field hospitals. The first place they went was Smolensk, and then they followed the Smolensk-Minsk-Warsaw-Krakow route all the way to Krakow, the capital of the Norman Empire.

Egil decided to use the medicinal herbs in his hands to solve the crisis in the imperial capital, as well as the cities around the capital and along the way. The convoy then moved to other areas. Priority was given to Eastern Europe, then to North Saxony, then to Flanders - if there was still some dregs left.

And in order to make the use of these herbs more efficient, Egil also privately ordered his officials and the doctors he dispatched. Because these herbs are too valuable and not available in sufficient quantities. Therefore, it is not possible to treat patients equally.

The emperor ordered the doctors to give priority to the treatment of young adults with the not many medicinal herbs they had, and their physical fitness was better, so they should be able to treat them with a smaller amount of medicinal herbs. This is especially true for female surnames, which are an important resource for the birth of a larger population from a national point of view. Young and middle-aged men are also important laborers and soldiers. As for the elderly, as well as children, Egil did not say explicitly. But people can figure out what the emperor meant......

Egil asked doctors to try to treat patients with milder disease first and abandon patients who were too sick to treat. In this way, the number of people treated is increased and the number of herbs required is reduced.

Indeed, such an approach may be very problematic on humanitarian grounds. But in this way, more and more valuable people can be saved. to better preserve the strength of the empire.

In the face of such initiatives, Egil also demanded tougher measures on the administrative side. Proof of residence measures and road guidance measures are taken. Strengthen the restraint on the people and control the movement of the population. If it weren't for the conditions, Egil would even want to extend his imperial political system all the way to the countryside. Of course, under the existing conditions, this seems to be a bit more difficult.

Eventually, these measures, related to medicinal herbs, and population control measures. It was reintegrated by the eldest princess Aurora and released under the name of the Royal Council. And it was named "Extraordinary Time of the Empire, Plague Disposal Measures".

There was another thing that made Egil feel very painful - that he had to make a gesture and take the initiative to give these medicinal herbs, which at that time cost more than a thousand gold, to his vassals - that is, a small part of the vast majority of the countries of the European continent - although it was a small part of the aid that had been given before. But Egil still felt heartache. In addition, the vicious emperor also has some gains and losses, and he cares about the allusions of Shengmien and Mi hatred. I'm afraid that after he has paid these precious resources, those bastard vassal states will not appreciate it.

Forget it, these things are trivial. It doesn't matter. In any case, in Egil's next plan, the vassal states that were geographically located in the south and had lost their value would be annexed by his empire - in the Emperor's plan, the Black Death further reduced the power of these countries. Therefore, after the Black Death, Egil had to deal with a few insignificant small countries that had just recovered from a serious illness and had almost no strength to fight back.

Of course, the Norman Empire was also devastated after this plague. But here's a mathematical problem of addition and subtraction. If the Normans are one hundred, then the other small European countries are ten.

In this Black Death, Norman lost 30 points of national strength because of the emperor's power, drugs and military control system. Then the average loss of national strength by other countries is six points. In this way, the Norman Empire still had seventy points of national strength after the Black Death. Other small countries have only four points left.

In this way, the Black Death, in turn, became a tool to help the Norman Empire! Although in this way, even if you occupy those areas, you will not get a lot of benefits - but you have to look at the long term, a little longer. A Europa, which has been integrated and becomes a unified country, is bound to become one of the strongest countries in the world.

Although Egil is not seen eighty percent, he is a founding king. and the title of the most important emperor in the history of Europa, which will inevitably become the possession of Egil. Such an honor is quite tempting for Egil.

"In other words, after this plague subsides, I can take advantage of the situation and become the emperor of all Europa......" Thinking of this, Egil felt that this Black Death did not look so terrifying.

Now, of course, this is just a small delusion on the part of His Majesty the Emperor. This terrible plague looks like it will be a little longer. It doesn't seem so easy to calm down completely......
