Chapter 2 The Law on Disposal of Plagues in the Emergency Period of the Empire

In June 1010, Egilna annexed Moscow, causing the empire to expand its territory to the east to quickly disappear. Because the Black Death continued to spread, the Norman Empire's intelligence network was almost paralyzed due to the Black Death. Even part of the Norman Empire's territory that was southward could not be fully controlled.

Only the northernmost Ross, Scandinavia and Britain. The intelligence systems in these places were well preserved. At the same time, this is also a rare place in the continent that has not been invaded by the Black Death. It is also the most primitive territory of the Norman Empire and the hope for the future revival of the Norman Empire.

Egil tried hard to maintain the status quo of these areas to preserve the vitality of the empire - the expedition team that sailed at the end of last year. Even the people who took the least time in the calculation and took the Suez Canal route would take about half a year to come back. The final result of this expedition is still uncertain. Egil could not imagine how much the fate of an empire would be to entrust the fate of an empire to several explorers and merchants.

Perhaps there will be descriptions in the legendary novel. When the kingdom was in despair, the king said to the brave man who had just met for not a day: "I've left it all to you, you are the last hope of our country."

It was hard for Egil to imagine that kind of scene. He felt that since he was the ruler, he had to stay strong at any time. The idiot who said that should have destroyed the country - of course, there was another conspiracy theory idea. After the king fooled the foolish brave man away, the guards immediately sent orders, and the brave man came over. Then the king immediately said the same thing to the brave man.

It just goes on and on and on and on... After hundreds or thousands of silly deaths, there was finally a silly man who had strong enough or good luck enough to solve the problem. Then the whole world celebrated and the world was peaceful. The silly man's deeds were also written by big books to encourage the next generation to thousands of silly man, so that if something happened in the future, there would be new silly man available. As for the hundreds or thousands of silly man who died, because no one wrote them, people didn't know at all. That's right.

Therefore, this world is not a paradise of personal heroism in the end. The so-called superman wearing underwear does not exist. Heroes who can turn the world around with their own strength are just joking - ha? You said Egil? Don't forget that when he rushed to the battlefield, there were four thousand violent soldiers around him.

So, if you want to do something to save this increasingly collapsed world, then being an emperor is more appropriate than being a fool.

Egil is doing such a job - he exchanged all the more than 2 million coupons he received in this war with the traditional Chinese medicine formula that can cure plague. Fortunately, this time the medicinal materials are medicinal materials, not soldiers. So there is no need to consider inflation or something. Egil can exchange more than 4 million coupons for each medicinal material at a price of 0.5 coupons per medicinal material. After owning these medicinal materials, Egil is enough to ensure the stability of the three areas of England, Scandinavia and Ross, and there is no plague.

Of course, I said that. But no one can tell what will happen. However, no matter what, Egil got an opportunity to "look very good". For these medicinal herbs, Egil also looked more important than the one hundred thousand army.

The emperor issued orders one after another, listing these medicinal materials as "the most important strategic materials of the empire during the extraordinary period". The imperial officials were required to "see these things more important than their own lives."

At the same time, the threat was issued that "who dares to embezzle these materials, even if it is a little bit, will be punished." There are also threats "who dares to relax, and will lead to the loss of these materials, even if it is a little bit. The nine tribes will be punished." The last threat caused the officials and nobles' last bit of luck to disappear. "Anyone - even a nobleman at the duke level, feels that he should not want to challenge the dignity of the imperial emperor."

Of course, supervision is equally important. "The emperor will send his guard knights, guard knights and royal knights to fully supervise the entire process of transportation, distribution, storage and use of medicinal materials to ensure the safety of these medicinal materials. When necessary, if the knights feel that someone or something threatens the safety of medicinal materials, they are allowed to act cheaply and allow them to recruit local garrisons in the name of the emperor. Order local nobles to assist, and those who do not follow will be executed in the name of disobeying the emperor's orders."

Under such strict orders, although the emperor could not guarantee that there would be no crazy crazy man who wanted money and life to go against him. However, the emperor believed that this could minimize his losses.

Soon, Egil's knights left Moscow with the baggage troops transporting medicinal materials. Hundreds of doctors and nurses from field hospitals were also advancing. The place they were going to was Smolensk, and then along the route from Smolensk-Minsk-Warsaw-Krakow, all the way to Krakow, the capital of the Norman Empire.

Egil decided to use the medicinal materials in his hands to solve the crisis in the imperial capital, as well as the cities around the capital and along the way. Then the convoy turned to other regions. Priority was given to Eastern Europe, then North Saxony, and then Flanders - if there were still some medicine residue left at that time.

In order to make these medicinal materials more efficient, Egil also privately ordered his officials and the doctors he sent. Because these medicinal materials are too precious and inadequate, patients cannot be treated equally.

The emperor ordered doctors to use not many medicinal materials they have to give priority to treating young and middle-aged people. They have better physical fitness, so they should be able to treat them with a smaller amount of medicinal materials. Especially women - because from a national perspective, women are an important resource for giving birth to more people. Young and middle-aged men are also important labor and soldiers. For the elderly and children, Egil did not say it clearly. But people can figure out the emperor's meaning...

Egil asked doctors to try to treat patients with milder degrees first, and give up patients with too heavy conditions and are difficult to treat. In order to increase the number of people treated and reduce the amount of medicinal materials needed.

Indeed, this method may be very humanitarian. However, this method can cure more and more valuable people and better preserve the strength of the empire.

Under such measures, Egil also demanded that more tough measures be taken in administrative aspects, adopt residence certification measures, road leasing measures, strengthen constraints on the people, and control population mobility. If conditions do not allow, Egil even wanted to extend his imperial political system to the countryside. Of course, under the existing conditions, this seems to be a little difficult.

Finally, these measures, related to medicinal materials, also population control measures, were reintegrated by the eldest princess Aurora and released in the name of the Royal Advisory House. They were named "Measures for the Treatment of Plagues during the Imperial Period".

Another thing that made Egil feel very heartbroken - that is, he had to make a gesture and take the initiative to distribute these medicinal materials that were more than a thousand gold in this era to his vassal states - that is, a small part of most countries in the continent - although it was a small part that was better than nothing like the previous aid supplies. But Egil still felt heartbroken. In addition, the vicious emperor was also worried about the allusion of the rising mien fighting against rice. He was afraid that after he paid these precious resources, those vassal states would not appreciate it.

Forget it, these things are trivial matters. It doesn't matter. Anyway, in Egil's next plan, those vassal states that have lost their value in the south will be annexed by his empire. In the emperor's plan, the Black Death further reduced the national strength of these countries. Therefore, after the Black Death, Egil had to face several insignificant small countries with a first recovery from the serious illness and almost no strength to fight back.

Of course, after this plague, the Norman Empire was also seriously damaged. But there is a mathematical problem of addition and subtraction. If Norman had one hundred, then other small continental countries would be ten.

If Norman lost thirty points of national strength in this Black Death catastrophe because of the emperor's power, drugs and military control systems. Then the average national strength of other countries is six points. Calculated in this way, the Norman Empire has 70 points of national strength after the Black Death, and other small countries have only four points left.

In this way, the Black Death has become a tool to help the Norman Empire! Although in this way, even if it occupied those regions, there are not many benefits that can be obtained - but people have to look at the long-term, long-term. An integrated European country that becomes a unified country will inevitably become one of the strongest countries in the world.

Although Egil could not see it, a founding king and the title of the most important emperor in Europa history will inevitably become Egil's possession. Such an honor is quite attractive to Egil.

"In other words, after the plague has subsided, I can take advantage of the situation and become the emperor of all Europa..." Thinking of this, Egil felt that this Black Death didn't seem so terrifying.

Of course, now, this is just a small delusion of His Majesty the Emperor. This terrifying plague seems to be more popular for a while. It seems not that easy to completely calm down...
