Compared with the Grand Crown in the Provincial area, it is characterized by the concentration of a large number of royal workshops and their affiliated personnel; the Grand Crown in Toulouse is characterized by the concentration of many companies founded by the "Terror King" era. Famous for schools at all levels, it even has a law school.
Therefore, after the Free Army liquidated the crimes of the Provisional Inquisition, a large number of teachers and students who had been detained for various reasons were released, and more than a dozen schools at all levels were restored. Schedule, just rearrange course materials.
Of course, it is said that the region with the most developed culture and education in this era was the Western Saracen Empire/Córdoba Dynasty located in the southern part of the Imbrian Peninsula; it is said that these branches of the Arabs who invaded by sea were conquering During this period, Eastern science and technology were brought.
Canals were dug in the peninsula, crops and fruits introduced from the East were planted; Arabic numerals and navigation technology were introduced, freight trade along the Mediterranean coast was carried out; Eastern culture and art were spread, and a large number of schools were established. and adopt policies of religious tolerance and cultural inclusion.
After the reforms of Palace Prime Minister Brando, various schools, libraries, bookstores, observatories, and hospitals were established in major cities. The University of Cordoba, the first university in the Western Continent, was founded in the largest Mosque of Cordoba in the area. Its library contains 400,000 books;
It also recruits and encourages Eastern and Western scholars of different faiths to engage in academic research on philosophy, natural sciences and religion, and at the same time translates ancient Roman and Greek cultural works; teaches dogmatics, teaching law, philosophy, astronomy, medicine, mathematics, and linguistics without distinction. , history and literature...
Therefore, among the many schools in Toulouse today, there are also a number of teachers and professors from the Cordoba dynasty with pagan beliefs and origins; of course, they also became the first victims of the short-lived Inquisition in the city. and victims.
Having said that, Toulouse also has the largest church hospital in the south and an open pharmacists guild; this is even more important to the Free Army. Although Jiang Tian has been preparing for a standardized frontline field hospital and a field rescue system with the army, that's all for now.
It lacks enough qualified manpower and systematic training; it relies on doctors collected and recruited from various cities to barely form an army rescue agency; but the level is somewhat uneven, and it is full of empiricism. and bad habits.
If Jiang Tian had not personally demonstrated some surgical procedures and specifications and formulated relatively complicated health and epidemic prevention regulations, I am afraid that most of them would still be used to chopping off the hands and feet of soldiers with knives, axes and saws, and then Slaughterhouse style with a red hot iron to stop the bleeding.
Despite this, after a period of forcible running-in and operation in this Caotai team-style style, the death and disability rates of wounded members of the Free Army were greatly reduced, and the proportion of people who returned to the army after the war was greatly increased. While providing a large number of veterans, a virtuous cycle is also formed.
Of course, this church hospital named Saint Yin Liya Hospice does not belong to the Roman Orthodox/Ecumenical Church system; rather, it belongs to the Eastern Orthodox/Holy City Sect, which is deeply influenced by the great Eastern empires. As a dowry for a certain queen, a charity hospital was established locally.
Therefore, this mission hospital has many medical subspecialties with oriental style and characteristics, as well as the richest reserve of herbal prescriptions and surgical experience preserved in ancient times; even sick royal members of the past dynasties will regularly go there for recuperation and treatment. treatment.
Therefore, even if he is the archbishop of the kingdom in the past, he only wants to respect the will of the Holy See of Rome, ban it or include it in his own sect and carry out corresponding transformation. However, under the protection of the royal family and noble women headed by successive queens, they have never been able to achieve their goals.
This large hospital is now under the control of the Free Army. However, Jiang Tian did not intend to make much change to the status quo; he still retained the treatment and positions of the vast majority of people. It's just that a special training institution has been set up to provide part-time clinical teaching.
And provide them with textbooks that they have rewritten based on modern medical theories for them to practice and verify one by one. In this way, after a period of time, a group of military personnel can be quickly produced who know how to perform simple bandaging to stop bleeding, debridement of trauma, treatment of fractures and other battlefield rescue personnel.
The local pharmacists guild is even simpler. They can easily accept the permanent representatives sent by the Free Army to conduct financial and auditing supervision; and have signed more than a dozen large and small projects, including the provision of wound medicine and anti-epidemic medicine, worth A package order of more than 80,000 Ecu.
In addition, the man in the pointed hat who was captured in Mound City was not a magician, but just a member of the underground alchemy society called "Stargazer"; in fact, the green fire he created, and the Dao Huoyun is just a magic trick, a non-lethal deception.
Therefore, he is also the personal adviser to the commander of the legion in the Principality of Milan, and is one of the followers and retainers supported by the nobles. He is more like a chemist than a magician. He has mastered more than a dozen different formulas and can create effects similar to flame glare.
Devour
Therefore, after the "cordial and friendly exchanges" after being captured, he quickly agreed to change employers; with a monthly salary of 80 ECU, plus an exclusive laboratory and a specified upper limit of material projects, he became a comprehensive A part-time teacher of alchemy/chemistry classes at the school.
However, the several powder formulas he handed over are still somewhat useful. It's just that certain ingredients/material sources in the formula are relatively rare and difficult to obtain; that is, it is possible for a force like the Free Army to control the population of a large area to collect and prepare everything.
For example, ingredients extracted from bone meal and ores, which are similar to phosphorus fire and can spontaneously ignite without wind; or the grease of a specific burrowing creature... However, what surprised Jiang Tian was that he actually knew how to pass through glassware. Distillation, volatilization and extraction refine naphtha.
This is so useful. You know, it is now one of the most important secret weapons in the Eastern Empire. The main ingredient that became known to the world as Greek fire was specially prepared naphtha (crude oil extract). Therefore, once the news spreads, it would be easy for him to be hunted down.
In the overseas provinces/North Africa region that the Free Army can indirectly influence, there are several asphalt/crude oil lakes in the desert. This is not only a raw material used in shipbuilding to seal cabins, but the remaining residue can also be used as an adhesive and hardener for paving stones and stones.
Therefore, Jiang Tian also gave him an additional task; that is to write a letter to other members of the "Stargazer" underground society in his own name to see if he can get more new formulas; even if there is no new formula, it is still possible. Conducted chemical experiments and promised to give him a commission per head.
Finally, the Toulouse region is also a local agricultural area and grain production center; therefore, in addition to the grain reserves in Toulouse, it is also obtained through the inspection and search of many manors in the Grand Crown Territory of the Upper and Lower Garonne River Basin. More than 10 million pounds of grain of all kinds.
However, this is also thanks to the Cathar sect that is deeply lurking in the local area; under their leadership as guides, they can almost capture the large and small noble territories and mansions where wealth and food may be hidden; rarely The missing items were more than 200,000 crowns of property.
Therefore, after the incident, Jiang Tian also allowed them to build corresponding exclusive churches in more than a dozen cities, including Toulouse, as promised. And recruit some of them, who have passed preliminary selection and assessment, to join the town guard teams in various places, or to act as informants.
When Jiang Tian quickly dealt with these problems and waited for the other two corps to follow up, he decided to lead his troops to attack again. But on the streets in the suburbs, I saw a group of tied up men and women, chasing and throwing curses along the way, staggering...
"What's going on?" Jiang Tian frowned slightly, turned to the attendant Andrew and said: "The Free Army does not prohibit everything, except public parades without notification and permission, and collective humiliation. Behavior, why are there people just on the outskirts of this city..."
"Sir, we have inquired clearly." Then, Andrew left the brigade to inquire and investigate in person, and came back to reply: "These are actually Hebrews (Jews) who have just been arrested from other provinces. They are local tax collectors." One of the family members..."
However, after knowing the identity of the other party, the hesitation and sympathy in Jiang Tian's heart disappeared. Because if the other party is just a Hebrew, that's it, but coupled with the identity of a tax collector, it is simply the embodiment of evil and insatiable greed in this era.
