It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 266 Data entry, trick others to do it! (1 rewards plus [-])

Gretel only flipped through a few pages, and he knew that this statistical work was far from something he could do alone.Even adding Aurora is almost equivalent to not adding...

On January 1, the death toll was 1.

On January 2, the death toll was 8.

On January 3, the death toll was 15.

... On July 7, the death toll was 6.

According to rough sampling results, the number of deaths per day fluctuates between 40 and 60, that is to say, the number of deaths per year fluctuates between about 14000 and 20000.If the statistical scope is extended to 20 years, he will have to enter the data of a minimum of 28 people and a maximum of 40 people.

If each person enters the 7 values ​​of death year, month, gender, age range, income range, residential area, and cause of death, a total of 140 million to 200 million values ​​will be processed...

If Gretel was a statistician or a social scientist, he would take his time and spend a year, two years or even more time sorting out these data.But he did not have such a long time of one or two years. From now to mid-December, when he requests a hearing, there is only a little more than half a month.

As for the task of demographic statistics, Gretel gave himself a time limit of 5 days.

Gretel thought for a moment and decided to start with the basics.He rolled up his sleeves and made a form himself:
For each piece of death information, the sex is male or female, the age range is 0-6 years old, and every 6 years old is an interval if it is over 10 years old;
Income is divided into four ranges: low-income, low-middle, high-middle, and rich;
The residential area is divided into four areas: slum areas, small handicraftsmen, middle-income areas, and wealthy areas;

There are many causes of death, divided into several major items such as plague, acute disease, chronic disease, accident, suicide, dystocia, etc., and each major item is divided into several minor items...

In the dark database, Gretel was sweating from doing the forms.After finishing, he entered and timed by himself, and counted after entering a page. On average, he could only enter the information of 6 people per minute.

In other words, if he is diligent, makes no mistakes, and keeps his attention for 8 hours a day, probably...

About 100 to 140 days, can the entry be completed?

...Very good, that is to say, if he wants to complete the liver within five days, he needs 20 to 28 tabulators... That's it, not counting the manpower required for review, supervision, and statistics...

So where would he go to hire, no, to prostitute a group of people for nothing?

Gretel rested his chin in thought for a moment.He spread out a new piece of parchment, pulled out the [Endless Ink Pen], and began to write:
"Dear Master Edgar..."

Well, there will be a batch at the Black Crow Swamp, and another batch will be collected by the God of Nature Sect.Anyway, this job is not difficult, as long as you can read, you can draw orthographic characters on the form, and you can count.Oh, by the way, you have to be patient and conscientious. Presumably someone who can become a pre-caster should not lack this quality?
Aurora runs errands to Necromancy, Bernard runs errands to Oak Ridge.That afternoon, the two returned one after another, bringing replies from the two schools:

Elder Wood said that it is winter and the poor people suffer from frequent diseases, so the church cannot spare too many manpower.Allocating him 10 priest apprentices to work for five days is already the limit.Arrive tomorrow, leave after five days, no one more person, no more day!
On the other side of the Black Crow Swamp, Master Edgar generously expressed that he was willing to help him.The 20 new apprentices recruited this year have no problem throwing them over to work for him.Just ask Gretel to remember to take a break and teach the kids anatomy.

"30 people..."

Gretel sighed slowly.

Still not enough, better to have 10 more - 20 would be even better.

He turned his eyes around Aurora, thinking whether to go to the Archmage Carlisle himself, or to send Aurora to make another trip and grab some people from under the Archmage.After much deliberation, I still rummaged through the space bag and found a scroll of manuscripts.

"Bernard! Come with me! Let's go to the fleet barracks!"

Gretel got his wish and blocked the Bishop of Umpton in the barracks.After sitting down for a few words of greeting, Gretel made a straightforward request: ask Bishop Umpton to help introduce the person in charge of the local temple, and borrow ten—preferably 20—apprentice priests to come and work for him for five days.

"This……"

Bishop Umpton hesitated.As a bishop of the God of War Temple, his path is different from that of his contemporaries.After reaching level 5, he could have presided over a parish, even a small shrine in a barony.However, by mistake, he was sent to cooperate with the Magic Council, and since then he was thrown into the fleet, went into and out of the wind and waves, and slept on the sea.

In the past ten years, the level of the priest has advanced from level 5 to level 7, and the following ships have also changed from offshore patrols to ocean-going fleets traveling to and from the New World.However, the relationship with the local temple, apart from the frequent visits and prayers when the fleet returns, and the return to study after advanced, there are not many acquaintances...

Bishop Upton thought to himself that it would be too shameful for him to borrow money from others and to use it at the disposal of the Magic Council.

"It's not borrowing someone empty-handed."

Gretel smiled and pushed the copy of the codex over:
"This "Battlefield First Aid Manual", take a look, is it useful for the Temple of the God of War?"

First aid on the battlefield?Bishop Umpton was moved.He couldn't wait to grab it and open it, hemostasis on the battlefield, bandaging on the battlefield, moving the wounded, first aid for burns, first aid for drowning, first aid for snake bites...

Which one is useless?Which one, can't save dozens of lives on the battlefield?It's rare that it's a systematic project, and it can be used to train pastors!
Bishop Umpton's eyes brightened the more he looked.Finally, he closed the manuscript and stood up abruptly:

"Don't worry! With this manual, not to mention bringing 20 people over to do five days' work, even if you bring over the entire temple and help you work for a month or two, that's fine!"

At eight o'clock the next morning, Gretel stood in the conference room specially vacated by the city hall, facing the bottom.Aurora on the left and Bernard on the right threw two full sacks of blank forms to the 50 casters who gathered on time.

"A team of two, each responsible for a year's record book, one to read aloud, and one to fill in the form.

Another ten people were drawn—two from the God of Nature Church, four from the Black Crow Swamp, and four from the God of War Temple. They were responsible for supervising and checking whether the data entered was correct.Overseers don't oversee people in their own organization.

Write the year and month at the beginning of each form, and tick the corresponding boxes for other items——

Do you have any other questions? "

A group of trainee spellcasters, the youngest in their early teens and the oldest in their twenties, gathered into three groups and looked at each other.Although there is no direct conflict between the Church of the God of Nature and the Temple of the God of War, there is also a competitive relationship. The priests instinctively hate the breath of death, but in the eyes of the necromancers...

If you don't rely on your own strength to analyze the mystery, and hold the thigh of the gods, what is that?
Death triangle, look at each other and hate each other.

Must not be faulted by the Priest of the God of Nature (War Priest/Necromancer)!

Be sure to outdo them faster!

here you go!
"no problem!"

The three groups of trainee spellcasters shouted one after another in unison.

Gretel sat on the podium with satisfaction.Below the podium, there are 20 tables, in groups of two, and the bustle begins:
"Anita, female, 24 years old, tailor. Address: 382 Bronte Street. Cause of death: smallpox."

"Brad, male, 18 years old, sailor. No address. Cause of death: Overboard while sailing."

"Julia, female, 22 years old. Address: Fleet Street. Cause of death: rotten sores."

One person reads and one writes, the person who reads does not need to be distracted, and the person who writes does not need to look up.Gretel was satisfied to see that the input efficiency was more than double that of his own work.

He secretly gave himself a thumbs up, took a sip of water, took out a magic book and started reading.However, after watching for a long time, the tense and harmonious atmosphere below began to collapse, and the boys and girls chattered and quarreled together:
"You filled in the wrong box! 35 years old is on the right!"

"You missed a line! Go back and read it again!"

"That woman is not rich! Paint it out and move two boxes to the left!"

"What are you doing? She lives in Fleet Street. How can she not be rich?"

"Are you out of your mind? Girl, living in Fleet Street, dying of sores - obviously a flower girl! How can she be rich?!"

"Mr. Nordmark, if you don't have an address, which box should you tick?"

"Mr. Nordmark—"

"Mage Nordmark?"

Gretel: "...all stop! Everyone stand up, move one table to the left, and move the leftmost table to the far right! Start from the beginning, read aloud, check and see how many mistakes there are!"

There was another burst of chaos.Gretel got off the podium and walked back and forth between the tables, looking up from time to time.In less than 10 minutes, in front of the recorder responsible for checking, on a large sheet of white paper, more than a dozen "positive" characters were densely drawn...

This error rate is not good at all!
I was wrong. Manually entering the form, the possibility of errors is too high, and it cannot be used as a statistical basis at all...

Senior John Grant, how did you rely on decades of death reports in London and rely purely on manual statistics in 1662 to write such a masterpiece as "Natural Observations and Political Observations on Mortality"?Not to mention statistics, just entering the data correctly is very difficult!
Gretel barely suppressed his sorrow, watching the trainee spellcasters read, record, check, and work hard.Work from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] noon, take an hour lunch break, and work from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm.After dinner, everyone was sent back to their respective homes. Gretel was alone in front of the table full of record books, frowning.

"What's the matter, Gretel?" Aurora Wharton sat down beside him.Gretel lamented: "There are too many mistakes... This way can't be used at all..."

"Then...call a few more people and check more times?...Let them do it more slowly?"

Gretel just shook his head.When asked what happened afterwards, he put his hands on the back of his head and leaned back:
"It would be great if it could be scanned and entered automatically..."

"This... is not impossible..."

Aurora Wharton advises carefully.Gretel jumped up suddenly: "How to do it? Which magic can do it?!"

"Uh, it's not magic. Taling sorts papers, all of which are automatically scanned and assigned whereabouts. I mean, you can ask, can you use Taling to do this?"

"Great!" Gretel's whole body lit up.He grabbed Aurora and asked one after another:

"Who should I apply to? What are the application requirements? ——Hey, if you had said earlier that you could use Taling!"

"The Tongtian Tower has a special computing room, and even archmages can apply for it—I can use the teacher's authority—" Aurora was shaken backwards and forwards by him, and her voice almost broke.When it came to the last question, he hesitated all of a sudden:

"That, isn't that, is it too expensive to use tower spirits..."
