Chapter 265 A Heavy Death Record

Grete already had a plan in mind on how to convince the review committee. However, when he actually started preparing the materials, he immediately ran into unexpected difficulties.

Too much information!

Not too little, but too much!

"Sir, do you want to retrieve the population records from past years?"

Facing Grete, who came to retrieve the original data with the authorization from the review committee, the clerk at the city hall had a very good attitude. He took Gretel upstairs, turned around, and reached the end of the corridor. He pushed open the database door and entered the fifth room. He stood at the door and waved in:

"It's all here! Just take a look, sir. Do you need me to find an office for you?"

Gretel: "..."

There are at least seven or eight rows of wooden shelves in this room, and each row of wooden shelves extends inward, 1, 2, 3, 4... Gretel has counted ten shelves, but he hasn't counted them all yet. Each wooden frame is higher than a person's head, and there are several layers of heavy wooden boxes on top...

"all these are?"

"That's right, the population records of the Parliament from the past 100 years to the present are all here!"

How many years of records are these... Gretel took out the [Endless Ink Pen] from the chest patch pocket, turned it over, and looked at the center feather pole. Under the light, he silently read the light and beautiful small words on the feather pole:

"1183, Emerging Magician Award, to Gretel Nordmark"

So, the data here is at most more than a thousand years old? Gretel gasped. He grabbed the clerk and asked:

"Where are the records from the last 20 years, no, the last 50 years?"

"This side near the aisle! Sir, look, there is one box for a year, and the boxes have numbers on them!"

In the reference room, the heavy shelves are divided into four levels, and each level is stuffed with a wooden box that is 40 centimeters high and more than half a meter wide. On the wooden shelf closest to the aisle, the bottom box has the words "1182" written in red paint. Gretel knelt down and dragged it, but did not drag it.

"I'll come, I'll come!" The clerk came over diligently. He bent down, grasped the copper handle on the edge of the box with both hands, said "Hey" and pulled hard. The wooden box shook, but still did not move out of place. The clerk stepped back half a foot and pulled hard with all his strength.

"Ouch...my waist..."

He couldn't straighten up on the spot. Grete quickly went to help him: "Don't move! Don't move, don't move! Come on, take this quill and put it in front of your belly button, let me take a look!"

"Ouch...Master Mage, ouch...I'm so sorry, my old waist has something wrong again..." The clerk lay on the wooden frame, supporting the wooden frame with one hand and the waist bar with the other, moaning incessantly. Grete helped him stand up slowly, pulled down one of his hands, and put the [Endless Ink Pen] into his hand:

"Take it! Don't move! Don't talk!"

[Endless Ink Pen], a level 9 magic item. It comes with its own ink, is lightweight and portable, and can be used as an X-ray by extraordinary people below level 5. It can be called a portable X-ray machine, a must-have item for surgeons when traveling at home.

The X-ray magic is turned on, and the magic light passes through the body. Grete adjusted her breathing, quickly entered the meditative field of vision, and looked carefully:

"emmmmm... There is no compression fracture in the lumbar spine, and there is no slippage between adjacent vertebrae. Generally speaking, the X-ray anteroposterior and lateral plain films show no abnormalities. It should be an acute lumbar sprain..."

In other words, soft tissues such as waist muscles, fascia, and ligaments are restrained, or strained and torn. This disease needs to be distinguished from lumbar muscle sprain, supraspinal ligament injury, interspinous ligament injury, etc., but Grete does not have an MRI at hand; check it out, Grete is not an orthopedic surgeon, he is really not familiar with it...

Fortunately, not being able to check does not mean that there is no way to treat. Grete took a deep breath and turned on the healing technique, and warm white light seeped into the muscles. He used his mind to move the healing energy, and based on the bone positions seen on X-rays, he traced the human anatomy along the way.

Quadratus lumborum, lumbocostalis, lateral intertransverse lumborum, sacrospinalis...

Supraspinous ligament, interspinous ligament, sacrolumbar ligament...

"Hey hey hey, okay!"

The clerk twisted his waist, moved it to the left and then to the right, with a surprised look on his face. He then bent down gratefully:

"Thank you, Master Mage! Thank you so much, Master Mage!"

"Hey, it's no big deal. I'm also a healer. Remember, never bend down when moving boxes or heavy objects in the future. You must squat down like me, and then drag them out..."

Gretel is a piece of hygiene preaching. The clerk nodded and bowed with gratitude. He squatted down and tried to drag the box again. Holding the handle of the wooden box with one hand, raising the other hand, he inserted the [Endless Ink Pen] into his chest pocket...

"Hey, hey, give me back this pen! This is magic equipment!" Absolutely, how come civilians from another world have this problem...

After such an episode, it became much easier for Grete to check the population records again. Although the clerk who guided him had a low position, he had worked in the database for more than ten years and was familiar with everything. After learning about Grete's needs, he opened the lid of the box and gave enthusiastic advice:

"Hey, sir, the population information of the city hall is divided into several parts: general household registration file, household registration details, family property details, birth registration, and death registration.

General records and important family properties, mainly houses, large livestock, workshops, etc., are summarized once every ten years; household registration details change every year and are recorded as needed; birth and death registration, the city hall issues a table every week , let me take a look, this is the stack..."

With a plop, a thick leather bound book fell into his hand, causing Grete's arm to sink.

"So many?!" One thick notebook per year. If we count twenty years, how long will it take?

Grete instantly felt dizzy.

Led by the clerk, he sat at the small desk at the door of the warehouse and opened the register. Line after line on the briefing paper are all handwritten words. The handwriting can be neat or scrawled, and the ink has uneven shades:

"January 1st

42 people died

Anne Watt, female, 15 years old, textile worker. Address: Room 219, 15 Fria Street. Cause of death: scarlet fever.

Kris, female, 14 years old, textile worker. Address: Room 308, 27 Fria Street. Cause of death: scarlet fever.

Craig Franco, male, 57 years old, businessman. Address: 28 Sydenham Street. Cause of death: Stroke.

…………

………”

Every time she read one, Grete's heart became heavier.

Since traveling through time, especially since arriving in Nevis, he has been climbing up. As far as he can see, there is brightness and flowers. He had almost forgotten what it was like to be poor.

The lighting, sanitation, and living facilities of the Babel Tower and the eight auxiliary towers around it have caught up with the office buildings of the previous life. In some places, they are even worse. The magicians working there are the lowest and the lowest, formal magicians of the second and third levels...

And after becoming a magician, even becoming a magician's apprentice, you no longer have to worry about food, clothing, or worrying about basic life. Their eyes are always looking at the stars, and their only pursuit is to explore the mysteries of this world.

However, in places he did not see, in people he did not come into contact with. There are so many people suffering from poverty and disease, and so many people dying of poverty at a young age. A grain of sand of the times falls on these people and breaks their waists alive.

However, should ordinary people die? Should they die if they cannot become extraordinary? !

So many people, so many young workers, they, or they, were not 20 years old when they died, and many of them were not 15 years old!

According to the records on January 1 last year alone, the average life expectancy of workers who died, or rather, workshop workers, dock workers, etc., was less than 25 years old! As for businessmen, those wealthy people, their average life span is visible to the naked eye, at least ten years longer than that of laborers...

Gretel silently clenched the quill in his hand. As a doctor, even if he is a famous doctor in the world, even if he is a level 11, 15 or even legendary level healer, he can only contact the patients one by one and treat them one by one. It's not that there are no large-scale healing magics, but firstly, the cost is too high, and secondly, how many years will he have to work hard in this world to release large-scale healing magics?

20 years?

30 years?

However, by becoming a public health expert and an official who can influence public health policies or even formulate policies, he will be able to help these people very quickly and immediately!

it is my responsibility! It is my unshirkable responsibility as a doctor in this world!

I want to prove that the establishment of public health institutions is useful!

I want to help them!

Clean water! enough food! Labor protection! Cheap, even basic medical care! Even if their average life expectancy is increased by 5 years, to 30 years, 35 years...

This is a protection for workers!

It is also the growth of social wealth, so that they will not die young and can create wealth for the society for a longer period of time!

Seize this point, I can convince the Magic Council, I will definitely do it!

Grete lowered his head and wrote quickly. Under the [Endless Ink Pen], horizontal and vertical frames appear quickly on the paper. Age, gender, occupational classification, residential area, cause of death——

Thank you to the Magic Council, and to a previously unknown powerful person or time traveler for establishing the rules for recording household registration, property details, and registration of survival and death. With these detailed original records, his statistics are solid enough!

"However, it is still a huge project to complete the statistics of these things..."

Looking at the 20 stacks of information on the table, each stack was as thick as a fist and already passed his shoulders, Grete let out a sincere wail.
