Chapter 270 The Hearing Begins! 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 Avenue...Green Village, Wolfe Village, Pinas Village...
Cities, rural areas; high-end residential areas that collect water with magic arrays and magical arrays, mid-to-high-end residential areas that have water delivered by dedicated personnel, middle- and low-level residential areas that get water from wells, slum areas that get water from smelly ditches...
In the past few days, he personally traveled throughout the city of Nevis, and based on his own visits and memories, he marked different water sources on the map. From point to line, from line to surface, I will go to Thunder Tower tomorrow and ask Taling to calculate the mortality rate 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. Grete stopped writing:
"Little Jenny, what's the matter?"
"First - sir." The little girl held the tea tray with both hands, her thumbs pressed tightly against the edge of the wooden tray, and her nails turned a little white. She murmured a few times, and when she saw Gretel looking at her with a smile, without any impatience in his eyes, she finally 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..."
Grete smiled slightly. Speaking of which, it was also his responsibility for the matter to come 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 probably not have robbed her even if he came to collect debts. .
And now that they have taken action, the little girl and the washerwoman will not be able to stay where they are. He had no choice but to help to the end. As for the mother and daughter, they were both literate, which was an unexpected 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 he bowed again, holding the tea tray, and left the study in small steps, his 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, 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 at City Hall at the foot of the hill. 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. If ordinary people stay for a long time, they will suffer irreversible health damage. . Therefore, the big bosses of the jury rarely condescended and went to the city hall in person to preside over this debate.
Because of the arrival of the big boss of the review committee, the city hall opened a conference hall with the highest specifications and the largest scale. As soon as Grete 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 wide 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 were knights with serious faces and straight backs, spellcasters wearing robes and mage badges, and some people with luxurious clothes and big bellies. They glanced at the rostrum, obviously a little nervous.
merchant?
Clerk?
still……
Gretel just took a glance and was led to the bench on the right. The five identical rows of benches on the right were empty. After Gretel sat down, he turned to the left and saw Aurora Wharton. Turning to the right, Bernard the Barbarian...
Well, in terms of debating, the barbarian can't be considered a fighting force. He and Aurora are the only two people who talk to each other and debate with dozens of people on the opposite side. Not to mention the difficulty, you can already imagine how much work your throat has to do today.
Grete touched his throat, quietly threw a shot to treat minor injuries, and moisturized his own throat first. White light flashed at his fingertips, and he immediately saw many envious glances from the crowd opposite - oh, he's not an extraordinary person, no wonder.
However, as an ordinary person, he could actually sit with the spell caster and influence the committee's decision. He could not overestimate the power and financial resources of these people. In front of the great mages of the judging panel, don’t capsize!
Gretel touched his waist bag, and his fingertips touched the stacks of information in the space bag, finally feeling relieved. The next moment he stood up quickly - there was a roar on the podium, and there was a sound of chair legs dragging the floor. The archmage also stood up collectively, looking forward, smiling and nodding.
Grete turned sideways to the door and bowed slightly. Elder Wood smiled at him, walked into the conference hall first, and sat down in the spectator seats.
Immediately afterwards, the archbishop of the local God of War Temple, Bishop Ampton, an unknown high-ranking cleric of 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 priests entered the arena, there was a cacophony of footsteps, and another group of people entered the arena. One of them was upright and heroic, it was the female knight Salina Gretel had dealt with, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Inverness and the Countess of Roche.
It seems that this group is all nobles. Gretel and the female knight looked at each other. Selina raised her chin slightly and waved her finger at him slightly. After the nobles took their seats, a group of businessmen came in, noisy and mixed, filling the back rows of the auditorium.
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 podium. 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 statements from all parties on the necessity, feasibility, and budget of establishing a public health institution!"
The clerk raised his left hand and lifted 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 treatment power in Nevis City is enough to meet the needs of the whole city. There is no need to build other institutions!"
