It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 481 Someone smashed Gretel's hospital! (Bugfield leader plus more 2)

After half a month of secretly messing around with the matter, [Snake] Arezzo discovered for the first time that Gretel's itinerary had changed.

——He didn't come to the medical center today!

Mr. Viper has been snooping around the medical center for five consecutive days.Dress up as a rich man, as a servant who runs errands, as a poor patient, as a beggar; in a carriage, on foot, and squatting opposite with a broken bowl.After observing for five consecutive days, he came to a conclusion:
Around eight o'clock, Gretel always rode his silver moon deer, all the way to the door with so much smoke and dust, and started to work in good spirits.

Sunny and cloudy, windy and rainy, without exception, the time difference is less than 5 minutes.

...just like praying in church.Mr. Viper didn't understand, the medical center was clearly targeting him, and no one was in charge of him. Why did he come so early every day?
If Grete heard his question, he would definitely answer it. In his previous life, he clocked in at the hospital and got used to it.

There are many patients in the emergency department, 24 hours a day, if one person is late, the colleagues have to bear an extra burden, so everyone can not be late, try not to be late...

But Gretel didn't come today!

Where did you go?
Mr. Viper squatted diagonally opposite the medical center with the broken bowl in his arms, and was blown by the cold wind until he sneezed seven or eight times before he was [-]% sure:

Gretel today, really changed the itinerary.

Where did you go?
Gretel was taken to the White Tower again.In the conference room on the fifth floor, there was a table full of people sitting around a long oval table.In every position, newspapers, leaflets, and notes are piled up in thick piles.

Member of the judging committee, Archmage Grom of Black Crow Swamp sat at the head, with a serious face:

"The matter of universal smallpox vaccine vaccination has encountered great resistance. ——I invite everyone to come here today to discuss the situation internally and discuss how to implement it."

Gretel didn't say a word, and first flipped through the documents.At the top of the pile of papers, the one with the largest area and the strongest visual impact is a tabloid with a line of large bold characters on top:
"Turning people into cows?"

Sure enough, the worries of fools and fools are similar.Gretel curled his lips and looked under the title.Next to the title is a cartoon with exaggerated body language and strange faces.Bull's head, bull's nose, bull's horns, everything.

Even if the tabloid is shoddy and the printing quality is worrying, it can't hide the painter's vivid brushwork.Especially the expression on the cow's face, deformed without knowing it, and full of arrogance, is really lifelike.

Gretel laughed out loud.Across the long table, Master Colin, the head of the emergency management department, covered half of his face with a newspaper, and gave him a sneaky look:
You are the one who made cowpox, and you are still laughing!
"Where did this thing come from? Can it be banned?"

Archmage Grom's face was gloomy.Master Colin raised his head, but before he could speak, Gretel had already spoken in front of him:

"It can't be banned! - Anything, as long as it is officially banned, it will definitely spread faster!"

"That's right." Beside Minister Colin, a thin and thin mage with two mouse beards said quietly:
"Our intelligence department is also responsible for monitoring the public opinion of the citizens. Recently, the public's views on the smallpox vaccine have rapidly become negative, and it seems that someone is behind the scenes."

"Don't be suspicious, there must be someone, not just one or two." Another city hall official said with a black face:

"In the past week, the number of citizens who voluntarily vaccinated against vaccinia has dropped by 50% compared with the previous week."

"My people have heard some concerns in various chambers of commerce and taverns, saying that the parliament will collect a lot of taxes..."

"A businessman is inquiring about the situation and preparing to transfer property..."

Officials and clerks provided information in a hurry.There is no way, the county magistrate might as well take care of it now, and the great magician of the necromancer department should pretend to be filled with righteous indignation——

And it is said that this year's bonus is linked to the number of vaccinations!
Archmage Grom listened to their complaints in silence.After listening for about a quarter of an hour, I picked up the coffee spoon and tapped the rim of the cup:
"How is the situation now?"

"In addition to the vaccinations organized by the army, city guards, and colleges, citizens voluntarily vaccinated 7728 copies. The funds raised are not counted as council contribution points, and the total is 15275 gold coins." Someone responded immediately:
"The original plan was to promote the vaccination of 1 silver coin per person at the beginning of next month, and at the same time, push forward the compulsory vaccination of the whole people. But now, there is still a gap in funds, and the resistance of the people is also great."

"Your Excellency, do we really want to vaccinate the whole population?"

"Yes!" This question caused a cloud of doubts in the conference room.Relying on the law and not blaming the public, from the operatives of the emergency management department to the clerical staff of the city hall, everyone tweeted:
"Those people don't want to be vaccinated, let them go, anyway, it's their own business to get smallpox!"

This is pure indifference, anyway, I and my family are already safe;

"And the poor, if they don't die of smallpox, they'll die of other things. Is it worth the law of Parliament to force them to be caught and vaccinated?"

This is a front-line operator, and I know how terrible the workload is;

"Even if you want to sell vaccines, if you sell so much, you should be earning enough, right? Those poor people can't save five coppers a month, so there's no need to squeeze money from them..."

This...probably because they are not very popular, they don't know who the inventor of vaccinia is (or they don't know that Gretel is there), and they pointed at the monk and scolded the bald man...

Gretel looked ahead, his eyes were empty, and he pretended not to hear.Unexpectedly, Archmage Grom did not let him go, and directly called him:

"Master Nordmark, do you think it is necessary to vaccinate everyone against smallpox?"

"If it can be done, of course we should do it!" Gretel blurted out.There was a sudden silence in the meeting room, and then, a rough voice sounded through the door:
"Any answer? It's easy to say!"

"Why are you here so early..."

Archmage Grom got up helplessly.As soon as he moved, the conference room stood up loudly.

Gretel turned his head along with the crowd.I saw the heavy wooden door of the meeting room burst open, and a tall man with a height of more than 1.8 meters and a weight of more than 180, with a broad shoulder and a round waist, strode in:
"If I don't come again, the city of Nevis will be turned over for you!"

"Lord Earl of Argyll."

"Lord Earl of Argyll."

In the meeting room, the clerks of the city hall saluted unevenly.Gretel also bowed his head—the Earl of Argyll, one of the most powerful lords near Nevis, and the Earl of Inverness went south and north, sandwiching the city of Nevis.

It is said that the city of Nevis once belonged to the Earl of Argyll thousands of years ago, and was later donated to the Parliament for use.The original document is presented as a gift, and it is still kept in Tongtian Tower!

Even the Count himself was not to be overlooked.Gretel heard from the Archmage Carlisle that the current Earl of Argyll is a level 15 high-ranking knight who wields the inherited weapon [Golden Flame Sword]. In a short period of time, he can compete with an 18-level Archmage.

In the previous battle with the Glorious Holy See, the Earl of Argyll also led the army and went out with the parliament.The relationship between the two parties can be regarded as quite close.It was because of their closeness that they could directly rush over and directly participate in the meeting.

The big man nodded, passed them as if no one else was there, and walked directly to the other end of the long oval table, standing opposite Archmage Grom.As soon as he pressed the table, the heavy beech wood table was almost turned over by him:

"How many people die from smallpox in a year? Is it worth your trouble?"

This is not a question of how many people die, but a question of competing with the glorious Holy See for the right to speak, which is the direct order of the legendary mage!

Archmage Grom's words were on the verge of his mouth, but he couldn't speak directly in front of a room full of people.Just about to order everyone to retreat, a clear and bright voice suddenly sounded in the conference room:

"According to the death statistics of the past 20 years, in 1163, smallpox died, 278 people. In 1167, 327 people. In a year without a pandemic, the average death toll was around 300. In a pandemic year, such as 1170, 5738 people died -"

"who are you?"

The earl's gaze shot over like a falcon.

He is tall and tall, with a firm face, and a pair of piercing eyes, which is extremely oppressive when he looks at him.Just turning around, the two young mages beside Gretel subconsciously took a step back.

Gretel was completely unmoved.His eyes were lowered, he bowed slightly politely, and his tone was calm:
"Great Nordmark. Salute to you, Your Grace."

"Are you the one who invented cowpox?"

The Earl of Argyll stared at Gretel with serious eyes.Seeing that Gretel was unmoved in the slightest, he snorted, his tone slightly slower:

"He's done his homework.—So, for 300 people a year, are you going to turn over the whole of Nevis? Then, for cholera, typhoid, scarlet fever, and so many kinds of plagues, are you going to turn it over?" How many times did you turn the city over?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone in the conference room stared at Gretel.Archmage Grom frowned, and wanted to explain a few words for Gretel. For example, the promotion plan was not made by the little guy——after thinking about it, he waved to everyone in the room:

"You go out first."

The crowd left with a clatter.Archmage Grom greeted Earl Argyll to sit down, and pressed the palm of Gretel:
"Sit down, too, and talk slowly. ——Salar, Little Gretel almost only made back his money in this incident, and didn't make any money at all. He didn't develop cowpox for his own self-interest—"

"That's not the reason for making such a fuss." In private, Earl Argyle's attitude eased a lot, and he sighed heavily:

"I saw that something was wrong outside, and felt that someone was playing tricks, so I came here specially. Then again, you are too anxious..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the noise outside became louder and approached non-stop.After a while, Minister Colin of the Emergency Management Department knocked on the door, and hurriedly opened the door without waiting for an answer from inside:
"Urgent report - some poor people were instigated to attack Gretel's hospital!"
