Of course, this does not prevent the completion of the operation from reaching 100%, nor does it prevent Gretel from easily earning 850 gold coins (this is the key point).
Although when Sir Harrington left, he looked at Gretel with extremely sad eyes, which reminded Gretel of a shaved dog...
Grete shrugged and continued to go into the laboratory to fight the blood test magic. One day, two days, and half a day he had no clue. On the third day of work, Pastor Joanna excitedly informed him:
We have negotiated with several almshouses in Nevis and the midwives hired by the almshouses. The day after tomorrow is the day when the first class will be held to train and standardize midwives!
"This is really good news."
Grete murmured.
There are three poorhouses in Nevis. Two years ago, the number of poor people accommodated was more than 2,000 and less than 3,000. The number of poor people receiving out-of-hospital relief, that is, receiving regular cash and in-kind relief, was about 40,000.
Medical services are also part of the relief provided to the poor purchased by the city hall. This includes hiring midwives to deliver babies, and the remuneration is the average price of delivering babies to the poor: one silver coin for each service provided.
There were not many midwives who accepted this job, only about ten of them. At this time, Joanna got through the relationship with the poorhouse and recruited them all.
Before Gretel entered the classroom, she heard them chatting and joking in rough voices. They slapped their thighs from time to time, and their harsh laughter could be heard through the door:
"Let me tell you, I delivered a woman that day. She was very beautiful and looked like a girl from a good family. But guess what, she didn't have a wedding ring! That kind of woman,"
She made a disdainful snort through her nose, as if to emphasize how chaste and pious she was:
"It would be better to be dead!"
Grete pushed the door open silently and entered. In an instant, the whole classroom fell silent. The old woman who spoke hurriedly stuffed the bottle into her pocket. In her panic, the cork of the bottle was knocked to the ground, and she quickly bent down again.
Go pick it up:
With a "pop" sound, the green glass wine bottle fell to the ground, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
Grete pretended not to see anything. He stood on the podium and his eyes slowly passed over their gray hair under their dark headscarves, their slightly stooped bodies, their sleeves and skirts, and the old stains that could not be washed away were
Bloodstains. Well, the hygiene situation is worrying...
Joanna followed him in. The young female pastor stood on the edge of the podium, pointed at Grete, and raised her voice:
"This is Mage Nordmark, a sixth-level magician, a sixth-level Nature God Priest, and the owner of the Oak Grove Medical Clinic. Stand up!"
The midwives stood up unevenly, either bowing or curtsying. They mumbled something like "I've seen the mage" and "Salute to the priest" in their mouths.
Although he was saluting, the eyes looking at Gretel were mixed with fear, doubt and contempt, as if to say:
What did this man bring us here for?
Is this man going to deliver a baby?
This man wants to teach us how to deliver babies?!
Grete pretended not to hear. He raised his right hand, pressed it slightly, and said in a calm voice:
"Perhaps you don't know who I am. I am the owner of this medical clinic; I am the inventor of cowpox, which was rolled out across the city some time ago and everyone must be vaccinated; it is I who initiated and promoted the vaccination of the whole city.
The supply of clean drinking water in the city and the construction of public toilets throughout the city.”
Visible to the naked eye, the midwives' eyes changed from fear to shock, from shock to admiration. Each of them had personally experienced those events that shocked the whole city, and they had discussed who the promoters were. It turned out that this was what they saw in front of them.
One person?!
"I am not telling you how high my status is when I say these words." Grete glanced at all of them and continued to speak calmly:
"But I want to tell you that I have always cared deeply for the sick, the weak, and the poor. And pregnant women are also a part of the medical system that needs to be taken care of, and you are the people who most directly care for pregnant women. Therefore, I asked you to
Come and train you”
His tone suddenly turned harsh:
"In addition, I also say these words to let you know that I have considerable influence in the city hall. If anyone can't learn, can't learn well, and doesn't follow what I teach, I can easily do it and let him
The workhouse won’t hire you!”
This threat was straightforward, real, and easy to understand. The midwives sitting under the podium immediately started making noise:
“What can we do if we can’t learn?”
"I don't even know how to read, how can I learn this! Pastor, you must not be unreasonable!"
"My poor little Lila... I have given birth to 13 children in my life, and 11 have died. Only this granddaughter is with me... If I am fired, how will she survive!"
They argued, argued, and cried. They almost slipped out on the spot, slapping the ground and crying and complaining. There were about ten people, and the argument was as loud as more than twenty people. Even a small snake poked out from the oak staff.
Turn around and watch this scene with your tongue hanging out.
Grete wanted to raise his forehead, but he couldn't lose his momentum. Instead, Joanna stepped forward and slammed the table with a loud bang:
"Shut up! I don't know you yet?! How many words do you know, how much do you know, and how do you work on a daily basis? Others don't know, but we, the priests, don't know yet?!"
She stared menacingly at the women below, and the flame lines on her cheeks were so bright that she almost flew out of her body. With a loud shout, the midwives all shut up.
...Sister is mighty.
Grete silently gave her a thumbs up.
Joanna didn't look at him. She looked down with pressure and continued to yell:
"You won't be able to understand or learn what I'm teaching you, but you can't even think about cheating! Now, stand up and do the simplest thing first! Roll up your sleeves,
Roll it up above your elbows and wash your hands!"
Turn on the faucet.
Pick up the soap.
Seven-step hand washing method.
If possible, brush your hands three times.
The clothes worn during delivery and all delivery equipment used must be sterilized.
This alone can make the maternal infant mortality rate plummet.
In the 19th century, Dr. Semmelweis, the "father of hand hygiene," used this rule to reduce the maternal mortality rate from 12% to 1%;

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the world's top-ranked school of public health, report that neonatal mortality in rural Nepal has dropped by as much as 44% due to hand washing by midwives.
Yes, wash your hands.
Just wash your hands.
"Before delivering the baby, I wash my hands when I touch the mother, and when I touch the baby! If you can't do this well, don't do this job!"
