Chapter 266 The hearing opens! Fight for public health!
"Mr. Nordmark? Your tea."
"Ah, okay, thank you little Jenny."
Grete came back to his senses, took the tea cup and took a sip, then jumped back to the map. Fria Street, Anlo Street, Main Street, Clifton Street...Sydenham Street, Follett Street,
Garden Route...Green Village, Wolfe Village, Pinas Village...
Cities, rural areas; high-end residential areas that collect water with magic arrays or magical arrays, mid-to-high-end residential areas that have water delivered by dedicated personnel, middle-to-low-end residential areas that get water from wells, slum areas that get water from smelly ditches...
In the past few days, he personally traveled around the city of Nevis, and based on his own research and memory, he marked different water sources on the map. From point to line, from line to surface, he will go to Thunder Tower tomorrow to let
Taling calculated the mortality rates in different regions. Well, there are also mortality rates in different regions and different causes of infectious diseases...
After he marked twenty streets, when he turned around, little Jenny was still standing quietly two meters behind, looking at the desk with eyes full of longing. Gretel stopped writing:
"Little Jenny, what's the matter?"
"First - sir." The little girl held the tea tray with both hands, pressing her thumbs tightly against the edge of the wooden tray, her fingernails turning white. She mumbled a few times, and saw Grete looking at her with a smile, without any impatience in his eyes.
Finally he struggled to speak:
"Sir, I have finished my work for today. Can I borrow a book to read? Don't worry, I will be very, very careful not to get it dirty at all. I will put it back as soon as I finish reading it..."
Gretel smiled slightly. Speaking of which, it was also his responsibility that the matter came to this point. If he had not misjudged that the little girl had jaundice, insisted on checking, and finally lost the disguise made by the girl's mother, the creditor would have come to collect the debt.
I guess they won't rob people.
And since he had taken action, the little girl and the washerwoman would not be able to stay where they were. He had no choice but to help to the end. As for the mother and daughter, they were both literate, which was a surprise.
"Okay! Little Jenny, you can read all the books in the bottom row of the bookshelf on the left. You can also take them back to your room to read. You can only read one book at a time. After reading, remember to come back! Work hard!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The little girl bowed, carefully took out a book, and put it into the pocket of her apron. Then she bowed again, holding the tea tray, and left the study in small steps, her steps were light and almost silent.
Grete returned to work with a smile. After sorting out the population data, death rate, and birth rate, he quickly dived into tax records. Calculation, statistics, and evaluation——
Five days later, Grete was full of confidence and made a request to the review committee to open a hearing.
The hearing was held in the city hall at the foot of the mountain. Not everyone can enter the Mage Tower, especially the top of Igor Peak, the Tower of Babel and the eight auxiliary towers shrouded in mystery. The powerful magic power surges and ordinary people can't stay for a long time.
Over time, there will be irreversible health damage. Therefore, the big bosses of the review committee rarely condescended and went to the city hall in person to preside over this debate.
Because of the arrival of the jury boss, the city hall opened a conference hall with the highest specifications and the largest scale. As soon as Gretel stepped into the hall, he saw eight jury members facing the door of the conference hall, sitting high on the rostrum.
When they saw him coming in, most of the committee members had serious faces and pretended to turn a blind eye.
There is a broad discussion table in front of the rostrum. On the left side of the discussion table, there are five rows of benches from low to high, filled with dozens of people. Among them are knights with serious faces and straight backs.
, there were spellcasters wearing robes and mage badges, and there were also some people who were dressed in luxurious clothes and had big bellies. They glanced at the rostrum, obviously a little nervous.
merchant?
Clerk?
still……
Gretel just took a look, and was led to the bench on the right. There were five identical rows of benches on the right, all empty. After Gretel sat down, he turned his head to the left, Aurora Wharton, turned his head to the right, Barbarian
Bernard…
Well, in terms of debating, the barbarian can't be considered a fighting force. He and Aurora are the only two who can argue with the crowd and debate with dozens of people on the opposite side. Not to mention the difficulty, you can already imagine how much work the throat has to do today.
And know it.
Grete touched his throat, quietly threw a round to treat minor injuries, and moisturized his own throat first. The white light on his fingertips flashed, and he immediately saw many envious looks from the crowd opposite - oh, it's not extraordinary.
Oh, no wonder.
However, as an ordinary person, he can actually sit with the spell caster and influence the committee's decision. He cannot overestimate the power and financial resources of these people. In front of the judges of the review meeting,
But don’t capsize the boat!
Grete touched his waist bag, and his fingertips touched the piles of information in the space bag, and he finally felt a little relieved. The next moment, he hurriedly stood up - there was a clatter on the rostrum, the sound of chair legs dragging the floor, and the teachers also collectively
Stand up, look forward, smile and nod.
Gretel turned sideways to the door and bowed slightly. Elder Wood smiled at him, walked into the conference hall first, and took a seat in the spectator seats.
Immediately afterwards, the archbishop of the local God of War Temple, Bishop Ampton, an unknown high-ranking clergyman from the Spring Temple, filed in and sat down side by side.
The archbishop of the Temple of the God of War also nodded to Gretel and smiled cordially.
After all the clergymen entered the arena, there were noisy footsteps, and another group of people entered the arena. One of them was upright and heroic. She was none other than the female knight Salina Gretel had dealt with, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Inverness.
, Dame Roche.
It seems that this group is all nobles. Grete and the female knight looked at each other. Selina raised her chin slightly and waved her finger to him. After the nobles sat down, another group of merchants entered the venue.
The back rows of the auditorium were filled with noisy and chaotic chatter.
The door of the conference hall slammed shut. In front of the discussion table, a clerk wearing a black robe and white shoulder-length curly hair rang the bell and raised his voice:
"Regarding Master Grete Nordmark's request to allocate special funds to establish a public health institution, the special hearing will begin now!"
Gretel:!!!
Familiar with it, I have never applied for this before!
He quickly looked towards the rostrum. On the rostrum, the great magician of the protection department smiled slightly and made a gesture to him.
come on!
If you win this debate, you will be the first person in charge of the public health agency!
“Now, please make a statement from all parties on the necessity, feasibility, and institutional budget of establishing a public health institution!”
The scribe raised his left hand and raised it upward. Opposite Gretel, a magician wearing dark blue robes with three silver stars on his badge stood up. As soon as he spoke, Gretel's face turned dark:
"I think the current therapeutic power in Nevis City is enough to meet the needs of the whole city, and there is no need to build other institutions!"
