Chapter 108 Open a hospital in another world and finally have a house
The Roman Knight's wife took her children and returned to her parents' home with her dowry. What was confiscated was the Roman Knight's private property, and her dowry was not involved. At any rate, she still had two to three hundred acres of land under her name, so she could still support her family.
Madame Deya also retreated to her manor.
Her background was better than that of her daughter-in-law, and her dowry was larger - otherwise she wouldn't have been able to marry a baron in the first place - but later she hooked up with the city lord, Viscount Joan, and the eldest son couldn't accept it, so he cut off all contact with her.
Now, with her youngest son dead and her eldest son turning against her, she has nowhere to go but stay in the manor that was her dowry.
One share, no, strictly speaking, two shares of real estate, just hit Grete on the head.
The wealth has skyrocketed, and she is one step closer to her dream. While happy, Gretel was also a little confused:
Is the city lord so generous?
Ordinarily, he did save a lot of people - if it hadn't been for him, the plague would have been around for at least half a month, and one or two hundred people in the city would have died if they were unlucky -
However, these alone are worth a house in the city and a village?
To put it bluntly, most of those who will die in the plague are poor. As the city lord does, he retreats to the countryside whenever a plague appears and refuses to pay for disaster relief. He may not take those people seriously...
…
Give him a house for this?
The logic doesn’t make sense!
Under such doubts, Grete was still in a daze until he got the deed of the house. Elder Erwin accompanied him to see the house, and saw that he looked worried. After asking, he laughed a lot:
"You think it's because you cured the plague? Don't be stupid! It's just because of the beginning. It's not about your promising future. Who is so generous? - He became an apprentice in less than one month and became an official mage and official priest in two months. This kind of person is not
Make friends, who do you want to make friends with?"
If Grete had some realization, he felt that there was more to it than just that. He continued to listen to the elder's explanation and found out that there was a rule among the nobility: those with abilities must have corresponding property and status.
In other words, even if you are a penniless poor boy, once you step onto the threshold of the extraordinary, the local nobles will try their best to absorb you. If you are short of money, give money, and if you are short of manpower, give it to others.
As for status, the status of a formal magician is equivalent to that of a knight, and he is qualified to participate in aristocratic discussions - although he may not necessarily achieve anything, but if he is qualified to sit in, people of the same level will not step on you for no reason.
Grete was thoughtful, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this unspoken rule actually made sense. The other world was no different from the previous life, and all the power of the extraordinary belonged to himself. If you don't give him money, don't give him status, or you are short of money.
Go grab a fortune and become a destabilizing factor in minutes!
Who will cry then?
Aren’t you rich and powerful men?
"Then they have to pay a lot of money!"
Grete blurted out. Elder Erwin couldn't help laughing:
"Actually, there aren't many. Generally speaking, if you don't come from a rich and powerful family, your children won't be able to take this path. If a knight achieves military merit, he will naturally be rewarded by the lord - a magician - learning magic is more expensive, right?
!”
"What about the pastor?" Grete retorted subconsciously. Elder Erwin glanced at him slowly: "The pastor is pious."
You have dedicated yourself to the gods, what more money, status, etc. do you want? Your heart does not restrain you? Are you not afraid that the magic will fail?
"Our Lord City Lord is a little lecherous, a little lazy, and a little mediocre," Elder Erwin continued to comment slowly. Grete sweated:
"But he still knows how to copy the gourd. Besides, he doesn't have to pay for it himself. Didn't this just confiscate a sum of money? That Roman knight has three estates under his name. If I give you one, he will still lose two!"
Grete flattened his mouth and decided not to continue complaining to the teacher. Elder Erwin looked at him and suddenly laughed:
"Besides, do you know how these noble gentlemen usually recruit new blood? It's through marriage! Silly boy, just wait, someone will come to propose marriage soon!"
"No!"
Gretel screamed.
I still want to open a hospital!
I also want to learn magic!
I also want to travel across the country and the mainland! I also want to travel among the stars and the sea!
I don’t want to be tied up now!
Gretel walked along, being laughed at by the teacher, and soon arrived in front of the house allocated by the city lord. Viscount Joan was quite generous. In terms of area, this house was ten times larger than Gretel's residence in the city.
, is a two-story building with a masonry structure. At first glance, it looks similar to the small rural villa that was common in Gretel's previous life.
Downstairs is the living room, kitchen, and dining room, with a large bedroom on the left and right sides. Upstairs is a large living room, surrounded by five or six rooms, including bedrooms, study rooms, and studios, and there are also many
Had a big balcony.
"Clinical room, treatment room, treatment room, operating room, pharmacy, this kitchen is too small to be used as a disinfection room... Hey, teacher, this house needs to be renovated!"
"Does this still need to be renovated?" Elder Erwin looked at him with strange eyes:
"Don't you just want to open a treatment center? This house is very nice! Clean it and move some furniture in and you can use it! The teacher's house is not as big as yours, and it doesn't have as many things!"
"It's really useless without decoration!" Grete said with a sad face:
"Teacher, look, the walls have not been painted, the roof has not been painted, and something will fall down at any time. It is impossible to perform surgery like this! Besides, the kitchen is too small, there is no toilet at all, and there is no place to handle medical waste.
There is no place...
At least give me a bathroom! And running water!"
Elder Erwin was thoughtful. He could not understand every word of Gretel's words, and he did not understand the reason for every word. But several times before, the child had proved that those inexplicable requests had some meaning.
It makes sense...
"Then what do you need?"
Gretel grimaced. He needed so many things, materials, instruments, equipment, that even with the lowest clinic configuration, it couldn't be written on an A4 paper. Putting it all together, the most basic needs are:
money.
"Teacher, do you have money... I feel like it will cost a lot of money to do this..." Especially the water purification device, water supply and drainage, tsk.
By the way, we also need to make a shadowless lamp. The current shadowless lamp solution is to gather a dozen priests to provide human lighting... It is simply unbearable. The more people there are, the greater the risk of infection in the operating room!
Elder Erwin stopped his hand and looked at Gretel with a smile. Until he looked a little embarrassed, he asked leisurely:
"Why do you think you'll run out of money?"
"This..." Viscount Joan only gave him the manor and the house, but no cash! Do I want to sell the manor? I am in a hurry to sell it. I can't sell it for the price...
Grete tried hard to argue. Before he could speak, a shout rang out from outside the door of the stone house:
"Your Excellency Nordmark! Your Excellency, are you there?"
"I'm here! What's going on?"
"The villain, on the order of Baron Vaughn, sends you a gift to congratulate your Excellency!"
"Sir Levi congratulates Master Nordmark!"
"Lord Fulmar congratulates..."
"Nolan Knight..."
"Knight of Barron..."
Gifts were pouring in, and in just a blink of an eye, the long table in the living room was piled up. Gretel looked at the table full of gold coins, silks, spices, and various gifts. His heart was rolling around, and only one word echoed repeatedly:
Fan Jin passed the exam...
He suddenly looked at Elder Erwin. He raised his chin and smiled:
"Teacher, do you want to...send a few priests to station here? I can teach them!"
