Chapter 52: Big Neck Disease

After the trade ended, the two chatted a few more words.

"How long are you going to stay in Nafu?" Claire asked casually.

"I was going to stay for a day and leave, but I encountered some robbers on the way, my guards were a little injured, and I had been running around the road all this time, so I had a big neck disease." Shane raised his head and pointed to his somewhat thick neck, which was different from others, and continued, "So stay here for a while, by the way, please ask where the church is here, I want to go and cure this disease." ”

If it weren't for Shane's fingers, Claire wouldn't have noticed that the other party's neck was a little thick, which is a clear feature of big neck disease, and the back of the neck would have become thicker, and it wasn't serious yet.

Claire looked at the other person's neck and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she thought of something.

Big neck disease is caused by iodine deficiency, and the salt in the previous life is generally iodized, so it is rare to see people with this kind of disease there, and it seems that the cause of the big neck disease is not known here, and if you are generally sick, you can only go to the church to receive the priest's holy light treatment, although Claire is very annoyed by the light church, but she still has to admit that the other party still has a very good set of treatment techniques, no matter what the size of the disease, a holy light treatment is guaranteed to work.

And some diseases that doctors who don't know the cause of the disease are difficult to come up with a cure, just like Shane's big neck disease, there is nothing to do, can only ask some magicians with healing skills or go directly to the church to receive the baptism of the Holy Light, if you really can't afford it, you can only go directly to the knife, cut off the swollen area, and the chance of death during the operation is extremely high.

Claire had just thought of a plan to add iodium to the salt, and there was no industrial pillar in Nafu City that could automatically obtain gold coins from the outside world, and this might be a good opportunity.

The more Claire thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and the more she felt that it was feasible.

If salt is used as an industry in Nafu City, not only will Nafu City be able to obtain gold coins from the outside world, but it will also create jobs in Nafu City, so that the residents of the viscounty can have a new source of income, so that they can get external impetus to promote the development of Nafu City, and there will be a steady stream of caravans coming here to buy salt.

"Don't worry, I'll take you around Nafu City first." Claire laughed.

Although Shane didn't know what Claire's idea was, he nodded after all, he was his big patron and said, "I'm sorry for you, I just want to turn your city too." ”

Claire took Shane around the city of Naffu, where there were many people, and the residents who saw Claire also greeted Claire.

"Lord Viscount Gui'an!"

"Hello Viscount!" A little boy waved his hand vigorously!

Claire also smiled one by one, but Shane on the side became more and more surprised, although there were also people in a few cities who went to take the initiative to greet their lords, but that was just a formality, there was no sincerity that these residents in Nafu City wanted to come, and everyone was excited and grateful when they saw Claire! I wish I could show my face in front of Claire.

Sean glanced at Claire deeply, only feeling that he seemed to be the same kind of person as the other party, and he didn't know how to say it, as if he was greater than himself......

Claire took the other party to take a walk around the sewer project that was still under construction, and also walked outside Rhona's hospital for a walk before finally stopping.

"How? How does it feel? Claire asked with a smile.

Shane took a breath, glanced at his surroundings again, and said with sincere admiration: "Seriously, Lord Viscount, the city of Nafu under your management is a happy place where everyone can live, I have been to many cities, and there are many times richer than this, but none of their residents have such a smile on their faces, and they are far from being as respectful when they meet their lords as your lords meet you. ”

These were Shane's words from the heart, "And the city is clean, and you plan to build sewer pipes, which I can only see in some big cities, you are a great lord." ”

Claire listened to the other party's praise of her words, and a series of question marks appeared on her head.

????

What do you say, I'll take you around, and I even took you to the hospital, have you seen all this?

So he prompted: "Have you found a thing after walking around this circle?" ”

Sean frowned, thinking about where he had missed the words of complimenting the other party, as if he had praised them.

"What's the problem?"

Claire smiled slightly, "None of them have a disease, the same disease as you." ”

Shane's eyes widened slightly, and he recalled carefully, as if he hadn't found any patients with big neck disease along the way.

In places where there is a lack of iodine, there is often a big neck disease caused by iodine deficiency, so Shane did not panic after getting this disease again, just find a priest for treatment, he has also seen many people around him have had this disease since he was a child.

But as Claire just said, he has never seen a person with a big neck disease all the way, which is very abnormal, he has often seen several patients in the city he entered when he was a businessman, not to mention that Claire also deliberately took him to walk so many circles to the crowd, and there were no patients with this disease among the people who came to the hospital to see a doctor.

Seeing that the other party realized, Claire said, "We have something that can treat this disease, are you interested?" ”

Shane couldn't hold back his excitement at the moment, you must know that this disease is very common, if you have this kind of goods, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and the hope of inheriting the title of earl will be one more point.

However, he still suppressed his excitement and asked, "Is this kind of thing expensive?" ”

This is the crux of the matter, although the doctor is helpless, but the pastor of the church can cure it, so the customer must be aimed at those who grit their teeth and can go to the pastor's treatment, or the poor family who cannot afford the pastor's treatment, if the price is too expensive, there is no market for this thing.

"It's not expensive, it can even be said to be very cheap, just a dozen copper coins." Claire laughed.

The reason why the residents of Nafu City do not suffer from big neck disease is because the viscounty is near the sea, and those seaweeds, seaweeds, and kelp contain a lot of iodine, and long-term intake will naturally not get this disease. The disease is often found in inland areas where seafood is scarce.

What Claire has to do is to extract the iodine contained in the seaweed, mix it with salt, and make iodized salt for sale, which is a few copper coins more expensive than the salt in the world, presumably at such a price that is still acceptable to those who buy.

"That's great!" Shane said excitedly, "Can you show me now?" ”

"Don't worry, you can rest for a few days first, I'll bring the things when the time comes." Claire said that he didn't have iodized salt now, and he had to fool the other party to stay for a few days before he had time to get it out.

"No hurry, no hurry." Shane also smiled, he is a businessman, so he naturally knows that the other party has to have time to prepare.

"That's the hospital, you can have your injured guards come here for treatment, and the price is a few dozen copper coins." Claire pointed to the hospital and said, she didn't dare to say anything about reporting my name for free, mainly because Lorna didn't understand the lingua franca, even if she reported his name, Rona would only tilt her head: What are you talking about? I don't understand, give money!

"I'll go first, and have a nice time in Nafu City." Claire concluded.

Shane smiled happily and waved desperately at Claire, "Goodbye, Lord Viscount!" ”

After Claire left, Shane couldn't help but wave his arms, "Yay! ”

Not to mention that this trip to Nafu City made him tens of thousands of gold coins, and he also found such a good opportunity, he will definitely surpass the two in front of him and become the next earl!
