Chapter 44: What I Say Doesn't Matter

To put it simply, Johns had no idea how Phil was so quick to give and decide on orders.

It's not the same as getting up every day and deciding to eat a few loaves of bread.

Every decision involving the management of Raya Town requires careful consideration and discussion by several people before it can be decided.

But Phil not only gave multiple orders, but also demanded that they be executed quickly.

Like asking people to stop production and self-isolation.

This kind of order that makes the people stop working directly and cannot get paid, can be said and given?

John recalled every order Phil had given, as if he had planned a perfect blueprint in his head.

Very complete epidemic prevention planning and management.

John couldn't fault it.

If Jonas hadn't stumbled on Phil just now, given her a good step down, and gained her confidence a little, wouldn't Jonas be able to get close to Phil to get some information these days.

Now Phil is wary of Jonas.

Others will treat Phil as a child, but he will not.

"Jonas, have you been in contact with Xu?"

Jonas's tiny eyes narrowed, as if closed.

"Executioner, I haven't had much contact with him."

"Take the time for you to contact him, try to win him over, and see if he is willing to be used by me."

Jonas was suspicious: "Probably not, after all, he is already a retinue of the Raya family." ”

"What's wrong with the entourage?" Johns glanced at Jonas angrily, "What Phil can give, can't I give?" ”

"I see."

"Don't underestimate him, as far as you said earlier, he can't be a fool, he is a smart person."

Jona nodded, and Johns waved him out.

After the people went out, Johnson lay on his bed and looked at the ceiling in deep thought.

He is getting better, and he also wants to go out and take back the management of Raya Town.

But take it back, and then what?

Although he is uneducated, he is not stupid.

He himself was not sure to protect Raya Town in the waves of the Black Death, and if he went out to take over Raya Town, only to turn Raya Town into a dead city, then what was the point?

If Xu Siling can use it for himself, then it's okay to say.

Since he can cure the Black Death and the decoction can save himself, it is estimated that the orders and arrangements for those epidemic prevention work were all proposed by him.

Who would have thought that the executioner, a half-hung doctor, would be able to crush the professional doctors in the south?

I also have to write a letter to let my son not come back first, although there is still a war in the north, but since the defeat of the Battle of Cressie, everyone has refused to pay the king to fight, although there is a war, but it is okay not to get too close.

Anyway, the Black Death will definitely spread to the north, and even if you want to fight again, you probably can't help it.

...

Xu Siling came to Fei'er's bedroom.

As soon as I came in, I saw her sitting on a chair with a pale face and coughing gently, and the cuteness and delicacy under her golden hair was really distressing.

"It's okay."

Fei'er shook her head, raised her head to look at Xu Siling, and said softly.

"Thank you just now."

Xu Siling is used to coming to the window and leaning against it.

"There's no need to be thankful for this, as your entourage, you should also be."

Fei'er couldn't help but laugh, she had already noticed that Xu Siling had never regarded herself as an entourage, but like... It's to see herself as her friend.

This mode of getting along makes Fei'er feel comfortable.

"The one named Jonas seems to want to embarrass you."

"He was originally a knight of my uncle Johns."

"By the way, I don't know what the physical condition of Master Johns is, did you give him a decoction?"

Fei'er nodded and coughed lightly: "Of course, this is the first time I have taken over Raya Town, although I have confidence in you, but the future is uncontrollable, if something big happens during my management of Raya Town, we can't solve it, at least my uncle is also a tranquilizer in Raya Town." ”

Xu Siling didn't expect Fei'er to use Johns as a hole card, as if she was not afraid that Johns would rise up again to take over Raya Town when she got better.

But think about it, even if John takes over the town of Raya, I'm afraid he will only be able to receive a dead city.

Saving Raya Town by himself is purely to help Fei'er.

"Do you think I'm raising tigers when I save my uncle Johns?"

Xu Siling rubbed his chin: "No, he can't deal with the problems facing Raya Town now, even if he re-manages Raya Town, he can't do anything, even if it's a tiger, it's just a sick tiger." ”

"Not necessarily." Fei'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Siling, "Isn't it you?" ”

"Me?" Xu Siling was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will help your uncle?" ”

"It's possible." Speaking of this, Fei'er couldn't help but complain, "Don't look at me as the future lord, but the resources in my hands and the property under my control are really very few. Even the guards and governors of the town don't listen to me, and if you don't want to help me, and Ann Li is lying on the bed again, what do you say I do. ”

"Don't worry, I can help you, I'll try my best."

When Fei'er heard the answer she wanted, she was immediately satisfied.

"You were chatting with the priest earlier, how was the conversation?"

Faced with Xu Siling's question, Fei'er suddenly made a sad face.

Because she was managing Raya Town for the first time, her words were sometimes not very effective, and she was afraid that others would perfunctory her.

That's why I had to ask the priest for help.

"I think he can preach to everyone, and by the way, let them show their support for my proposal, and let the citizens take more baths and pay more attention to hygiene..."

Xu Siling raised his eyebrows: "He doesn't want to?" ”

Fei'er nodded.

It's not surprising that the Holy Sect also followed the doctrine of the four humors, and then said that it was not good to take a bath, and it was necessary to worship God and defile the body first.

It's outrageous that some fanatical Christians can go without bathing for the rest of their lives.

But not every believer is so fanatical that he doesn't like to take a bath, there are rules at the top, and there are ways to do it.

When you take a bath, your pores will be opened, and then putrid fluids will flow out, but the miasma from the outside will also enter the body.

When you take a bath, you should wash it in a room that is close to hermetically sealed.

Therefore, the service of the bathhouse lies in this, a small tent is specially set up, and the bath bucket is placed inside, and when you take a bath, the miasma outside cannot enter.

Therefore, the people of Raya Town still love to bathe, and most of them wash once a week and half a month.

"I also have a proposal here, which is to ask the people to drink hot water, try to boil the water before drinking, and do not drink raw water."

Fei'er was immediately distressed when she heard this, and she replied: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. ”

"What to say."

"Because the people of Raya Town are self-isolating at home, coupled with my instructions, the people consume a lot of charcoal."

"What about the charcoal workers around Raya?"

"Two of them have been uncontacted, and they are probably scared away by the Black Death. In the only charcoal camp, the workers also ran out halfway, and under the persuasion of the people I arranged, they finally stayed. Paid quite a deposit. ”

Looking at Fei'er's headache, Xu Siling was glad that he was not a lord, otherwise he would have had a headache.

"I asked the sheriff's assistant to estimate the amount of charcoal to consume, and it was very reluctant."

"Then I'll have to go and collect dry wood to make a fire."

"Too few people..."

Xu Siling shook his head and explained: "Although we let the people isolate at home, the fact is not a few days, as long as the isolation area and the observation area are prepared in advance, it only needs to last until five days, so that the people can resume production, and then we can arrange people to collect dry firewood to slightly reduce the demand for charcoal." ”

Fei'er nodded, perhaps because she was putting too much pressure on herself, and forgot that she only had to stop production for five days.

Then Xu Siling began to chat with Fei'er about the details of the town's epidemic prevention plan, chatted for a long time, and has been supplementing and improving.

For example, what standards should be met for street sanitation in the future, and the daily implementation of inspection work.

Another example is the inspection process of outsiders, the training of the guards on the inspection process, etc...

Anyway, when it's almost over, Fei'er is already starry.

The sky was slowly darkening, and from Fei'er's bedroom, he could see half of the town of Raya.

The town of Raya is quiet and completely different from usual.

Fei'er also got up and stood next to Xu Siling, looking at the scenery in the town together.

"Thanks to you today, I have raised the obedience of those guards to me."

In the face of Fei'er's thanks, Xu Siling still shook her head.

"Just be careful, if all goes well, the town of Naraya will be able to get the people back to their daily productive life in a few days, and then he may have an idea."

Fei'er regained some of her spirit and smiled slyly: "Don't worry." ”

Indeed, a girl with a senior city government, even if she sells him, he has to help count the money.

"Until now, you haven't wanted to take the initiative to confess to me, do you?"

Xu Siling was stunned, and then she understood what Fei'er was asking.

Ask him how he predicted the arrival of the Black Death in advance, and how he prepared in advance the Black Death decoction that everyone could not treat.

Fortunately, the people who knew that he had prepared the decoction in advance, Raya Town only had Fei'er and An Li.

Otherwise, if the priest knows, I am afraid that the priest will be so frightened that he will arrest himself for interrogation.

Predicting the arrival of the Black Death can be said to be astrology, but preparing a decoction of the Black Death that has never appeared in advance is very interesting, and if it is not handled well, it is a barbecue feast.

"Actually, I was taught by Satan the Devil, so I have a lot of knowledge and can make a lot of preparations in advance, and it was Satan who told me that the Black Death was coming."

Xu Siling joked seriously.

Fei'er was stunned, her azure eyes looked at Xu Siling in disbelief, and then the disbelief slowly turned into horror.

"Oh, is it true? Have you really been instructed by Satan? ”

Xu Siling would have thrown a big eye out of Fei'er to herself in the future, but thinking about it, Fei'er didn't know that she knew that she was an atheist.

How could Phil show that he was an atheist?

But Phil's frightened expression was really good.

Xu Siling's brown eyes were like sharp swords, piercing into the other party's heart, Fei'er was a little overwhelmed, she felt as if she had been seen through.

"Lie to you, I didn't get Satan's advice."

Fei'er showed an angry expression, and then accused: "You can't just say this, otherwise God will know and punish you." ”

Xu Siling pondered for a while, he didn't know much about medieval Europe, but he still understood the story of Joan of Arc.

Looking at Phil reminded him of the story of Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc's appearance out of thin air, as if it was in the service of the royal power of the Kingdom of France, gave a boost to the people of the kingdom, aroused a strong national consciousness, and then escorted the king to Reims for coronation.

It's like a tool man, and her defeat and capture are outrageous.

In one of the encounters, Jeanne d'Arc ordered the army to retreat back to the city of Compiègne, and she was at the rear of the army to ensure that everyone retreated to the city, but at this time, the city of Compiègne closed the gates without waiting for all the troops to retreat, fearing that the British would follow, and Jeanne d'Arc and the remaining rearguard troops were captured by the Burgundians.

Obviously, King Charles VII of France can arrange someone to save Joan of Arc, after all, Joan of Arc has done so much for his position, and he has also regained a lot of territory.

But Charles VII just didn't save Joan of Arc, and I don't know if he believed in the tacit agreement between them too much.

In medieval Europe, the greatest role of captives was to earn ransom.

The reason why Charles VII didn't take first aid to recover Joan of Arc was because he felt that he could spend money to redeem Joan of Arc?

Xu Siling recalled this story, not thinking about how aggrieved Joan of Arc was, but simply thinking that since Fei'er was an atheist, could he fake?

A high imitation of Joan of Arc?

By the way, get rid of the troubles on yourself.

"Phil, do you believe in God?"

Faced with the sudden inquiry, Fei'er was stunned for a long time.

"Of course."

"What a coincidence, I believe it too."

Xu Siling's brown eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was smiling.

Phil didn't understand what that meant.

"If someone asks how the decoction came about, you tell them that God gave it."

"Huh?"

Fei'er didn't understand, what is God to give?

"My lord, you have to think about how I, an ordinary executioner, learned of the arrival of the Black Death in advance, and how did I prepare the medicine to treat the Black Death in advance? It's all God's give. ”

Fei'er asked in a tangled way, "How did God give it to you?" ”

"It told me that I would meet a naughty and clever little aristocratic girl, and then I told her everything I knew, and she would know how."

Fei'er was stunned, whether she was stunned Xu Siling didn't understand, because she was wearing a mask.

"You also said the demon Satan earlier, why do you say God Jesus now, which one is true, and which one should I believe?"

"Is it really important?" Xu Siling looked at Fei'er's blue eyes and shook her head with a smile.

"Not important?"

"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not."

"Of course I believe you, Xu."

"Then will you do what I say?"

This kind of cross-channel chat made Fei'er very confused, but Xu Siling's calm and calm look made her ponder.

Thinking slowly, Fei'er couldn't help but recall what An Li had said to her today.

An Li said that if Raya Town must find someone who understands her Fei'er, it will be Xu Siling.

Fei'er's mind was shocked, could it be that Xu Siling had already seen that I didn't believe in God?

That's why these questions are asked?

Don't... Xu understands me?

No, how could he know that I didn't believe in God?

"It doesn't matter what I say, what matters is how to make the people of Raya believe you."
