Crete stood up and saluted: "Hello, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I am very happy to come to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is a vast, beautiful and wealthy country."
"Well, Mr. Crete, please sit down,"
Jerry Polo continued to introduce: "The second one is called Hans, a Roman who is proficient in medical skills, especially surgery. His ancestors once studied with the famous Arab doctor Abkassus, and he is almost a household name in Venice. The third one is well-known in Venice." One was called Luke, who was good at architecture, especially Byzantine architecture. The fourth was a lady, and the only lady among them, named Nina, from England. Mrs. Nina was good at law, and her ancestor had He served as the dean of the law school at the University of Paris. Because of the dispute between the then King of England and the King of France, Sina's ancestors returned to the Kingdom of England. Sina currently serves as the chief professor of law school at the University of Oxford. Link, Venetian, proficient,, ,,,,The skills of the above twenty-one subordinates are all recorded in the book. Your Majesty, please take a look. Their requests are also attached to it. I dared to agree to it on behalf of the Emperor."
I heard from Jerry that the Venetian Arsenal was built in 1104 and was one of the earliest large-scale arsenals in Europe. Since Crete was the chief engineer of the arsenal, he must be quite capable. As for the University of Paris, it is known as a world university. The mother of the famous Oxford University and Cambridge University are both copies of the University of Paris. As the chief professor of the Oxford University Law School, Nina should also be a talent. Several others are unique in a certain field. Scholars and experts, it seems that all of these twenty people can be used by me.
I collected Jerry's record and said: "Very good, dear friends, I will arrange suitable positions for you based on your specialties. As long as you have real abilities, I will definitely meet your requirements. At the same time, I also hope that you If you can live a happy life with me, if you have any problems in the future, you can ask Jerry to tell me. As long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree to it."
Through Jerry's translation, Nina said: "Your Majesty, I have two questions, can I ask them?"
"Mrs. Nina, of course,"
"Your Majesty, what do you think about different religious beliefs?"
"Everyone has the right to religious belief. As long as it does not violate the laws of our country, I will treat them equally,"
Nina said with a smile: "Very well, Your Majesty, I heard that you previously established a department called the Independent Commission Against Corruption and gave this department independent judicial power. I am very interested in this. Can you ask Your Majesty for advice? "
I smiled and said: "Beautiful Mrs. Nina, this issue is very complicated to talk about. I will talk to you in detail tomorrow. Not only the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I also plan to have a good talk with you about the legal differences between the East and the West."
"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
"Well, dear friends, you have come a long way and the journey has been hard, so you are here today. Mr. Wen Aiqing, Li Aiqing, Ruan Aiqing, and Mr. Jerry will greet you at Tongle Building in the evening. You four are the representatives of our dynasty. , entertain guests from far away,”
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"By the way, Xiao Qi, please send an order to Liao Yingzhong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Pu Shougeng, President of the Red Cross Society, Shen Yiqiu and Quan Jue of Lin'an University to accompany you in the evening. Jerry, early tomorrow morning, you will bring Crete and 21 other people to the palace. I want to talk to you in detail,"
"yes,"
After dinner, Fang Ling and Quan Jiu and I went to the imperial study room.
"Look at these logbooks, they are quite interesting." I handed the four logbooks to the two of them, opened Jerry's record myself, and read them carefully.
Early the next morning, as soon as Yuan Ji, Xiao Qi and I came out of the martial arts training hall, we saw Eunuch Zhou reporting at the door: "The official family, Mr. Jerry and others are waiting for orders outside the palace gate."
"Eunuch Zhou, ask them to meet me in the imperial study room,"
"Yes, official family,"
"It's Chinese New Year, why is Eunuch Zhou always so depressed this time," Xiao Qi muttered casually.
A quarter of an hour later, Eunuch Zhou brought Jerry, Polo and others to Fuling Hall. Xiaoqi arranged for everyone to rest in a big room next to the imperial study, and took Jerry to the imperial study first.
"Subordinates see the Emperor,"
"No courtesy, Jerry, sit down,"
"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
Jerry, Polo has lived in Lin'an for a long time and is quite familiar with various etiquette.
"Jerry, I have read all the information on the twenty people you recruited. Judging from the records, they are all talents available to us. I plan to conduct interviews today to see how to arrange them."
"Your Majesty, most of them have very high salary requirements. I wonder if Your Majesty will accept it."
"There's no problem with this. I've seen it before, and it's not too outrageous. After all, they left their hometowns and hoped to get better rewards." I smiled, "Mr. Jerry, I promised you before that every time I recruit someone Talent, I will give you a reward. After the interview is over, I will notify the palace to pay you the reward,"
"I would like to thank the Emperor in advance,"
"Well, Jerry, you will be the interpreter. We will come one by one. You can call Crete in first."
After Crete saluted, he first said: "Hello, Your Majesty, the food here is very delicious, I like it very much,"
"Really, that's good. I hope you can all adapt to life in our country as soon as possible. If you are interested in the future, you can stay in our country, just like Mr. Jerry, and become a citizen of our country, Crete. I plan to let you go to the Gunpowder Supervisory Office to assist in the improvement of firearms, what do you think?"
Critter said in shock: "What are firearms?"
I smiled, took out my small pistol and handed it to Crete and said: "This is a type of firearm. A firearm is a shooting weapon guided by gunpowder. It is completely different in nature from cold weapons. At present, I am facing The development of gunpowder is far ahead of the world, but this kind of firearm still has many problems that need to be improved. If you are interested in this, I can let you go to the Gunpowder Supervision first to have a look. However, I have to explain one thing in advance. Firearms The prison is one of the forbidden areas of our dynasty. If you plan to join it, you need to abide by its rules. If you are not interested, you can work in the weapons prison, which is a place similar to your arsenal."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand this. Your Majesty, I'd better go to the Firearms Inspectorate first and then make a decision."
"Can,"
The second person to come in was Luke, who was good at architecture. Luke spoke very little. Based on my suggestion, Luke readily accepted my arrangement and joined the design department under the Ministry of Industry as a designer. Luke's mission is to integrate Eastern and Western architectural features and build a number of distinctive buildings in Lin'an City.
The next person to enter was Hans, a surgeon who was well versed in medical skills.
"Hans met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty,"
"Hans, I plan to arrange you to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and set up a separate department for you to conduct research on surgery. At the same time, you will serve as a professor at Lin'an University School of Medicine, responsible for teaching the surgical specialty of the medical school. This specialty has not been available before. It is I set it up specially for you,"
Jerry thought for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, Hans is good at surgery, but the mortality rate during the treatment is very high. Even in Venice, he is regarded as a Frankenstein, and not many people are willing to do it." I went to his clinic for treatment. If Hans hadn't known my family, I wouldn't have taken him to Lin'an. The emperor set up a department specifically for him. Isn't this a fuss?" This sentence was not translated into Venetian, so , Hans didn’t understand.
"Of course not, Jerry, do you know the reason for the high mortality rate in surgery?"
"I don't know,"
After being translated by Jerry, Hans said: "Your Majesty, I have been worried about this too,"
"Jerry, Hans, surgery will have great prospects in the future. There is a war between our country and Mongolia. For the treatment of the wounded, many treatments require surgery. Therefore, I will focus on supporting Hans's project." The new department, and the reason for the excessive mortality just mentioned is mainly that unclean wounds after surgery lead to the proliferation of viruses, thereby causing infection. Jerry, you have been in our government for a long time. You should know that there is an old saying in our country, It's called 'Corrugated grass produces fireflies', which means that germs can easily grow in unclean places."
Hans asked: "What are germs?"
"Germs are the culprit of disease, the root of all diseases, and a type of bacteria. As for bacteria, Hans, you can read a textbook called Biology from Lin'an University School of Medicine,"
Jerry had read all the elementary textbooks of Lin'an University and naturally knew this biology textbook: "Hans, you will know after you read it. This textbook was written by the emperor himself,"
Hans was surprised: "Really?"
I smiled and said: "Hans, I only know part of it. There are still too many unknowns in the scientific field, and it is up to you experts to dig them out. To prevent wound infection, we must disinfect it. At present, I am heading towards The Royal Academy of Sciences is developing medical disinfectant alcohol. As long as this medical alcohol is available, it can effectively prevent infection and greatly improve the survival rate of patients after surgery."
"Okay, Your Majesty, then I will obey your Majesty's will and go to work at the Academy of Sciences."
Among the materials Jerry gave me, Hans was one of the few who had no requirements for salary. What he needed was that I could provide him with the best laboratories and equipment, including patients.
"Well, Mr. Hans, I have a condition,"
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Mr. Hans, I will provide you with a first-class laboratory, but you need to pass on your knowledge to the students of our dynasty without reservation. I hope that within one year, you can train at least three students of our dynasty." Ten excellent surgeons,”
"Thirty, as long as these students are interested in surgery, there will be no problem,"
"Okay, it's settled,"
The fourth person who came in was the still charming Lady Nina,
