I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 48 What will God do?
After getting rid of Jonas, the first thing Xu Siling did when she went to the inner castle was to see if Anli was surviving.

Enri was in the same condition as yesterday, neither better nor worse, but her face looked much better.

Therefore, the Coptidis donkey-hide gelatin soup probably had some effect. Xu Siling couldn't tell whether it was really because of the Coptis chinensis donkey-hide gelatin soup. Xu Siling could only let Anli drink two kinds of decoction every day as maintenance.

Fei'er thinks it's a bad thing that Anli hasn't recovered, but for Xu Siling, this is already a good thing.

But if Anli really got pneumonic plague or septicemic plague, it would be amazing to survive two days without dying.

After checking Anli's condition, he took out the realgar he had prepared in advance, handed it to the female attendant, and told Anli to drink the Cimicifuga Turtle Armor Decoction and then take it dry.

Xu Siling's original Cimicifuga Turtle Jia Decoction always lacked one ingredient, which was realgar.

Realgar is not boiled directly in the decoction, but taken separately after drinking the decoction.

Cimicifuga Biejia Decoction can be divided into Yang poison and Yin poison. The realgar is used to treat Yang poison.

In Europe today, realgar has been used as rat poison. Xu Siling saw that the decoction without realgar was already effective in protecting human body functions, so realgar was never used.

But with Enli's current situation, Xu Siling simply used every method he could think of.

Enri couldn't recognize the realgar, but the female attendant still understood it.

Seeing Xu Siling trying to feed An Li rat poison, the female attendant had a strange expression.

If another doctor were here, he would definitely have to give him an enema, drink urine and eat feces, and it would be a trivial matter for him to feed him rat poison.

After arranging this matter, Xu Siling came to the study to look for Fei'er.

Mayfair was sitting on a chair, with many letters and scrolls on the table.

Another day passed, and Fei'er's health improved a lot, and at least her face regained a lot of color.

It's just that I look a little tired. It's obvious that I haven't slept well after a busy day yesterday.

As soon as she entered the study, Fei'er's nose twitched and she looked at Xu Siling strangely.

"Why do I smell blood on you?"

Xu Siling then told what happened at the city gate, and also briefly talked about Jonas's efforts to win over her.

Fei'er didn't have a particularly good way to deal with the guards' mishandling of emergencies.

With the current shortage of manpower, it would not be good to punish them directly, but after the guards were separated from Jonas, they lost their execution ability, which was not a good thing for Mayfair.

As for Xu Siling being roped in, Fei'er seemed very calm. She had expected this to happen yesterday, and it was enough as long as Xu Siling firmly supported her.

If John wanted to regain the management of Raya Town and resume his regency, Xu Siling was an indispensable person for him.

As long as Xu Siling did not want to help Johns, daily production work would not be resumed in Raya Town, and the epidemic prevention work plan would not be completed, he would have to pretend to be dead in his bedroom every day.

"It would be great if Enri is fine."

Fei'er's sudden words made Xu Siling stunned for a moment.

"how."

"If she were here, I could give control of the town's armed forces to her instead of Jonas."

Enri is not a suitable and qualified commander, but there is no one available for Faile, so she can only use Enri.

"Although Anli's body has not recovered much, it is a good thing that it has not deteriorated." Xu Siling comforted.

"I know."

Feier looked at the paperwork on the table, her blue eyes under her blond hair full of helplessness.

"I have a few problems, please see how to deal with them."

"You said."

"The diluted alcohol you said is not enough." Mayfair lay back on the chair. "The daily dosage is too much. I have searched the taverns in Raya Town and the surrounding taverns. The inventory of brandy is very small. I can buy it. I bought everything. But the diluted alcohol distilled by Scola is still not enough. It is estimated that in two days, the diluted alcohol will be gone again. "

Xu Siling knew very well that brandy was expensive. From 100 liters of wine, only 20 liters of brandy could be distilled after deducting losses.

Fortunately, Xu Siling had already thought of a way on the way here.

"The amount of diluted alcohol cannot be cut off." Xu Siling leaned against the window. "The consumption is indeed high, so we have to change the usage."

"How to change."

"There will be no need for disinfecting in the inner castle from now on."

"Why, didn't you say before that you would be the first to ensure the safety of the people in the inner fort?"

"That was my original thought, but when I saw the inspection work of the guards this morning, I knew that no matter how hard the inner fort was disinfected, it would be difficult to ensure safety. And the number of infected people in the inner fort has increased, right? And La I believe you already know how many people in Yazhen have been confirmed to be infected with the Black Death."

Fei'er said nothing in acquiescence. There were too many infected people in residential areas today, as if they were blooming everywhere.

This also confirmed that what Xu Siling said yesterday was correct.

The residential area is like this, so many people in Nanebao cannot avoid it.

But fortunately, with Xu Siling's decoction, everyone is still working. It's just that the body has some cold-like symptoms, which is uncomfortable, but it does not affect work.

"So there is no need to consume and waste diluted alcohol in the inner fort in the future. It is mainly used in observation areas, isolation areas, and in the homes of citizens diagnosed with the Black Death in Raya Town. In this way, the consumption of diluted alcohol in the inner fort will be eliminated, and the consumption will be better. Some."

"But what you said is only to cancel the alcohol consumption in the inner castle, but the problem of insufficient diluted alcohol has not been directly solved."

Xu Siling nodded: "Our epidemic prevention work plan is not perfect. It needs to be improved every day, such as the cancellation of alcohol disinfection in the inner castle. My way to dilute the shortage of alcohol is to purchase a large amount of wine to distill brandy. Then dilute it with brandy distilled alcohol.”

Mayfair's blue eyes widened: "Do you know what you said, how much money I have to spend? The finances of Raya Town are not bad, but they can't withstand my troubles."

"Money problems are easy to solve."

"Is it easy to solve?"

"It depends on whether you can accept it, Feier."

"Tell me Xu, let me see how you solve the money problem."

"It's very simple. Arrange a team of trustworthy personnel to go to the occupied towns and villages around the south."

Before he finished speaking, Fei'er couldn't help but be surprised.

"You're talking about plundering the property left behind by the dead?"

"That's right." Xu Siling explained, "Because of the problem of the spread of the Black Death, many patients died directly at home, and their property was not dealt with. Even if there were robbers and thieves who went to touch gold afterwards, they would definitely be infected with the Black Death and die. . Instead of giving these people a favor, it is better to give it to us. And because our people have the decoction, they are not afraid of contracting the Black Death, so the inheritance of those who died can be used by us. This is a huge amount of ill-gotten wealth. , it depends on what you think, Fei'er." Fei'er fell into deep thought, and her heart moved.

As Xu Siling said, she had a decoction to ensure that her people would not deteriorate even if they were infected with the Black Death. This kind of ill-gotten wealth was no different from falling from the sky.

But there is also a problem, the problem of who should be sent out.

First of all, Fei'er has no one she can use. An Li is lying down, and Xu Siling is an indispensable person for her at the moment. She sent him to lead people out and guarded Raya Town by herself. She has no confidence and is afraid of any emergencies. There is no way to deal with it.

"It seems that you are already having a headache over the selection issue."

Feier was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. Xu Siling really understood her.
She smiled gently and said casually: "The property of the deceased should be properly handled, but even if we don't take it, those robbers will steal it. Why don't we take it, and we can also use it to save He and others?" Protect more people in the kingdom. So I am really having a headache about who will lead the team."

The person leading the team determines the behavior of the team.

A captain with bad character will take his team members to embezzle the stolen inheritance. If this happens, it will cause a series of unnecessary troubles.

Generally speaking, if there is no problem with corruption, it will be treated as a reward, but people's greed will not be satisfied.

If An Li and Xu Siling are the candidates to lead the team, Fei'er will feel relieved.

Although Enri is stupid, she has strong execution ability. Even if she has no money, she will not embezzle the inheritance of the dead. She will only carry out the task honestly, and she will definitely keep an eye on her team members to prevent them from committing corruption. thing.

Not to mention Xu Siling, he used all the medicinal herbs and alcohol supplies he had stored at home to support and help Raya Town. He didn't even mention anything about repayment. Fei'er felt that Xu Siling was not a money-grubbing person. people.

"You don't have to worry about the selection."

"I don't need to worry? Do you have a good candidate to introduce to me?"

Xu Siling's brown eyes looked at Fei'er's cute face and said with a smile: "Don't you still have an uncle? Why don't you just leave this matter to Johns?"

Fei'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but smile mischievously.

"you're right."

Johns will definitely help Mayfair deal with this problem, because this ill-gotten wealth will be a good thing for him both privately and publicly.

Yu Gong, Raya Town received a large amount of financial income. If he can take over Raya Town and re-regent in the future, then this money will be equivalent to his.

In terms of private matters, the people he arranged will never allow anyone to embezzle. In John's eyes, since those properties can be his own, he will never allow the people he arranged to get involved.

Johns can definitely choose more candidates than Mayfair, so just leave the problem to him and Mayfair just collects the money.

Mayfair did not hesitate to call the law enforcement assistant, and asked him to contact the people in the tavern, purchase wine from them, and then ask them to distill the purchased wine into brandy.

This matter cannot be delayed too long.

Anyway, after the inner fort does not need to be disinfected, the remaining diluted alcohol is barely enough to be used for a while. It is better to use the diluted alcohol mainly in the isolation area and observation area.

The shortage of diluted alcohol has been temporarily resolved.

As for the remaining issues that required money to solve, such as charcoal, Feierti didn't mention them anymore.

Then there are the details of the epidemic prevention work plan.

For example, the isolation area and the observation area have been expanded. Xu Siling saw the situation at the city gate today. The two areas are definitely not enough and must be expanded a lot.

As for taking in asylum seekers, Mayfair has accepted it, especially since it can also collect professional talents with specialized abilities from various places.

Among them, Xu Siling has suggested that Fei'er find someone to investigate, as long as there are any special talents in the observation area and isolation area.

For example, if they were engineers, construction workers, or even former knights, Xu Siling wanted Fei'er to take special care of them, and even meet them in person if they wanted to.

Because taking them in and treating them is not free, if Mayfair is willing to win over, these rare professionals can stay in Raya Town, which is great for the development of Raya Town.

Not to mention that Mayfair is short of people. If some of the knights' subordinates can be recruited to stay for their own use, it can also make up for Mayfair's shortcomings in armed strength.

You can't really rely on Enri's armed strength, right?

Fei'er listened carefully and had to admit that when Xu Siling was not around, she had to think about everything by herself. Now that Xu Siling is by her side, it feels a lot easier to have someone who is planning for her own benefit.

Especially since yesterday, she had a vague feeling that Xu Siling might know that she was an atheist.

It made her feel like someone finally understood her weird feelings.

Seeing Xu Siling thinking and caring about herself so much, her inner feelings are indescribable.

After almost saying it, Xu Siling still said something to pull Feier back from her thoughts.

"By the way, Fei'er, what do you think of what I proposed yesterday?"

Fei'er looked at Xu Siling and smiled slyly.

"As long as you want it, so do I."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Deceive God, use God's name, and deceive everyone. I can't do it alone. Unless you accompany me."

When Fei'er said this, her little heart was pounding, her face was not red, but her ears were red first.

Xu Siling blinked, of course I want to accompany you, I also want to be a trial knight for you.

"I came up with the plan. Of course I will accompany you."

"Then I am willing to do what you said. However, all your achievements will be taken away by me."

"Credit is nothing, and no one else can cure the Black Death. Only I can. In this case, I may not have good results. Who makes me the executioner? On the contrary, if it is you, Mayfair, you treat God as In the name of curing the Black Death, and gaining the love of the people, and the attention of the church and the royal family, it will be a good thing for you and Raya Town in the future."

Especially after everyone recognized that Mayfair had received God's revelation, it would only be more difficult for Johns to regain the regency.

"What about you?" Fei'er's blue eyes blinked at Xu Siling curiously: "I lied to God, and I am willing to bear everything. Are you not afraid if you accompany me to lie to God?"

"Afraid?" Xu Siling was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "Indeed, deceiving God is a big deal. But if God knows that we have deceived him, what do you think he will do."

"I do not know."

"Then let us seek verification and see how the saints in the entire kingdom and the God they believe in punish us."

Under Xu Siling's firm gaze, Fei'er smiled very cutely.

"Okay, Xu. Let's find out together what God would do when faced with our two abominable people."
