Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Cholera (the Third Update, There Will Be Another Update Later)
Seeing this scene, the women upstairs quickly ran downstairs and knelt down in front of Aslan.
I don't even care that my hands and feet are covered in excrement.
Because in the past, there was a noble young master who was curious about the environment in Beicheng District, but as soon as he entered, he was splashed with excrement on his face, and finally went on a killing spree, killing his whole family of more than a dozen members.
Aslan just glanced at it, then shook his head.
He doesn't want to care about these civilians at the bottom of society. Could it be that killing people to vent his anger will affect his image of loving the people like a son.
Sitting on the horse, Aslan looked at the dung piles and filth that appeared on the street from time to time, his face turned ashen.
He has long been isolated around his body by the magic shield, which not only prevents him from being splashed by excrement, but also isolates the peculiar smell in the air.
It's no wonder that when entering Beicheng District, an odor barrier was installed around it.
The situation in the northern city can really kill the Marquis of Medea on the magic tower.
This is almost the same as medieval Europeans, not only the custom of dumping chamber pots from windows into the street, but also the custom of defecating everywhere.
Anyway, the street is already like that, and I don’t care about adding a little more. Next to the market in medieval French cities, there are usually some dirty streets. If people who come to the market are in a hurry, they can solve it there.
Not only solve it anywhere on the street, but also in their own homes, many Europeans solve it anywhere. After the solution is over, shovel it to the wall, and it will be cleaned up. Europeans live in stinky cities all the year round and are used to the smell, so they don't mind defecating anywhere in their homes.
The reason Aslan came to Beicheng District was not out of sympathy for the people, let alone on a whim, but because he was reminded of a terrible plague that occurred in the mainland in his previous life.
That was cholera, which was mainly spread among the common people in the early stage, and slowly spread to the nobles in the later stage. That plague was also the real cause of the uprising of the ten lords.
Because they all believed that the plague was spread by the referee in order to weaken the strength of the ten lords.
But Aslan knew very well that the so-called plague was actually cholera.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal infectious disease caused by ingested food or water contaminated by Vibrio cholerae. Even on Earth, there are an estimated 3 to 5 million cases of cholera each year, and another 100,000 to 120,000 deaths. The peak of the disease is in summer, and it can cause diarrhea, dehydration and even death within hours.
Vibrio cholerae is found in water, and the most common cause of infection is consumption of water contaminated with feces from sick people. Vibrio cholerae can produce cholera toxin, causing secretory diarrhea, even if you don't eat anymore, you will continue to have diarrhea. The watery feces of washed rice are the characteristics of cholera.
This is also the 21st century, and countries around the world will value and protect water sources so much.
With the current environment in the northern city, Aslan is sure that when cholera breaks out, at least one-third of the population in the northern city will die.
At that time, Aslan had a small population at the beginning of Merlot Town, so it was easy to clean up. When it was time to rebuild, Aslan built a drainage system and a clean water source, and focused on promoting personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. such a situation.
In the future, we will increase the details of the fight for the power of the kingdom in the future. Any population is extremely valuable, and Aslan will never allow such a death.
Coming out of the northern city, Aslan immediately wrote three proposals, which were sent to Vatini, Mario and the Marquis of Medea respectively.
The point is that he discovered a poison from the water source in Beicheng District. If this poison is not well controlled, it will form a plague and spread. Hundreds of people in Beicheng District die from this plague every year.
As for the construction of sewers and sanitation, Aslan did not write, because he could not write. The first thing he should do now is to attract their attention, and then Aslan will re-examine the environment and re-establish a complete urban sewer system. At the same time establish a perfect sewage treatment system.
In the previous life, Aslan successfully completed this point. The huge urban population and the scale of sewage discharged every year are staggering. In the past, there were elves, the guardians of the earth, to purify the filth. The environment in the city is also getting worse.
This is why the elves call the humans the destroyers of nature.
There is no need to destroy the natural environment on a large scale, and the huge population will easily pollute the surrounding environment of the city.
Just as Aslan divided the letter into three parts and sent it out, Concas came to visit him.
The result is very simple. Concas is willing to lead the whole family to join the Melo region, but he needs Aslan to give them a territory to be the lord. Aslan naturally agreed to this request, but the territory does not allow private troops and the number of private guards It cannot exceed the one-hundred-to-one ratio specified by the size of the town, and the guards they brought over are allowed to remain.
Concas could only choose to agree in the end, and then returned to the Melo area with Aslan the next day.
With the development trend of Merlo Town and various towns, it is difficult for Concas's territory to develop, because the old-fashioned lord system cannot attract people from the Merlo area to settle down, let alone the Melo area is now sparsely populated. Working for a lord is much happier than working for a small lord under his rule.
Not to mention the well-equipped town facilities, they will be able to share the fields in the future. Will other lords do this?
The answer is impossible!
If this development continues, the so-called territory will at most become a large-scale farm in the future, but this farm is a private property.
As for the reason why Concas wanted to go with Aslan, the reason was very simple. If they went by themselves, they would probably be scraped off by the nobles in the city before they could get out of the city gate.
Aslan, the convoy of the Tianping Chamber of Commerce and the Concas family combined more than a thousand people, and they drove to the southern city in a mighty way, but when they were at the gate of the city, they were stopped by Justin. Followed by a dozen new noble forces.
There are four great sword masters, and more than a dozen junior sword masters. This is well prepared.
Justin looked at Aslan on the tall horse, and asked with some guilt.
"Rin, do you think Aslan might agree?!"
Lien pulled his collar and said confidently: "Young Master Ninth can't offend the Young City Master for an insignificant maid, not to mention there are so many people behind us who support us. If he doesn't agree, the Kangcas family wants to leave Billy City, it’s not that easy.”
Hearing Ryan's explanation, Justin breathed a sigh of relief, looked into Aslan's gaze, and regained that sense of superiority.
