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

Chapter 581 If I disagree with pollution control, I will publish a paper! (If you are tired, sleep for a while and add 1 million rewards)

The atmosphere at the banquet froze instantly.

Gretel wanted to say something, but couldn't.Biochemical environmental materials, the four major tiankengs, environmental pollution control, is a job that loses money every year...

Why did he ask the city lord to do this?In other words, what kind of benefit exchange can he provide for the city lord to do this?

You can't just rely on interests, relationships, and coercion...that's not how you do things.

Viscount Joan immediately vetoed Gretel's proposal, and instantly regretted his slip of the tongue.The so-called young and vigorous, not vigorous, is not called a young man anymore...

Wouldn't Master Nordmark be unhappy with such a straightforward refusal?
Too bad, he should be more tactful... Maybe he should cry a little more?Tell me more about your own difficulties?

"Well, Master Master, it's not that I don't want to do this, the village is also full of my people, and I don't feel good seeing them suffer... But, but..."

His round, chubby face wrinkled inward, and instantly changed from a freshly steamed big white steamed bun to a steamed bun with 18 pleats.Eyebrows, facial features, and every wrinkle are written in big poor characters:
"If the sewage is not discharged directly, what should I do? I have to clean up the water from the ore washing, and put the output of my entire mine into it. I'm afraid it won't be enough!——If this is the case, I might as well not open the mine. !"

Gretel was silent.So this is the difficulty of environmental governance: when the cost of pollution control by a company has exceeded the total profit of the company, what do you want it to do?
Close the factory directly?
It is not impossible to shut it down directly. The problem is, who will solve the problems of local people's employment, taxation, and economy?

Not to mention this world with extremely low productivity, even in Gretel's previous life, many places followed the path of pollution first and governance later.

Are the local governments and local people really unaware of the pollution?

Poor!

"Besides, it's not my family that caused the dirty water. That workshop discharges more dirty water than my mine, right? My place is clean, but his desperate drainage is useless!"

This is true.According to Gretel's observations, yellow smoke billowed around the workshop, and it was unknown how much sulfide was emitted.As for lead?Zinc?cadmium?

The amount of sewage discharged by chemical production is definitely much more than that of simply washing ore!

Lord Joan didn't mention the workshop, Gretel wanted to talk to them.Now that I've mentioned it, let me ask you a question:
"Master Viscount, do you know who owns that workshop? Where are the products sold and what are they used for?"

City Lord Joan is clear about this issue.As soon as Gretel asked, he snapped his fingers and said clearly:

"That workshop is owned by Viscount Lester in the next county, but I heard that there are some magicians enshrined in their city. As for the things made, where are they sold..."

Lord Viscount got up, took a pair of glasses from the treasure shelf next to him, and put them in front of Gretel:

"Lead ingots, zinc ingots, etc., are nothing more than those places. As for their dyes, I heard that they are sold to the glass workshop controlled by the Mage Tower. Then, this pair of cups is what they gave me—"

Gretel looked intently.The glass is not unusual, it is clear and transparent, which is normal.The only feature is that the above prints are more eye-catching:
Bright yellow, bright blue, orange red, fluorescent green.Each color is extremely bright, and it is slightly turned in the hand, which almost makes people suspect that the rainbow has fallen into the world.

Especially that bright yellow, Gretel thought, as if he had seen it just the other day.He pinched the cup and twisted it with the pulp of his thumb, the fingertips were smooth and clean.Obviously, the print is still on the inside of the mug, not the outside.

"Can I pour some water in?"

Gretel's heart moved, and he asked softly.Viscount Joan laughed:
"No problem! Master Nordmark, if you like it, this pair of cups will be given to you directly!"

There is no need to send it.Gretel poured half a cup of boiling water into it, covering all the prints, and pushed the cup aside.Then, speak softly and discuss with the city lord:

"The sewage of this mine must be treated. I have seen the direction of the water system. The creek that comes out of the mountain directly flows into the largest lake in the surrounding area, and the water in the lake is used to irrigate the surrounding area for dozens of miles. If you don't care..."

Speaking of this, the viscount's expression is already ugly.The fields around Whit Lake are the best fertile fields around, and half of the viscount's own farm is there.

Do you think that the grains, vegetables, beef, and mutton you will eat in the future are all watered out of those poisonous waters?
No way!

"Then what should I do? How much will it cost? Otherwise...the mine won't open?"

He asked a series of questions.Gretel sighed:
"This is not necessary. Industrial sewage treatment or something, I have seen them do similar projects in Nevis before. To put it simply, it is to harden the drains, introduce the waste water into the plant pool, and use plants to purify it."

Speaking of this, he suggested hardening and using cement by the way. He wrote a letter and asked the mage tower to take it to the council to authorize the opening of the workshop, while making money while tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall;
For plants to treat sewage, Nevis's natural deity has accumulated technology, you can write to ask, I believe they are more willing to give;

After handing it over to the Deity Cult to do sewage, the City Lord's Mansion only needs to stick a little bit...

Make it clear.Seeing that Viscount Joan nodded again and again, it was obvious that he had already taken some action, so he took a clean empty cup, picked up the previous printed glass, and poured hot water into it——

An identification technique was taken, and sure enough, there was cadmium in the water.

Very good, long-term drinking, do not know how to die.

Gretel raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"Speaking of... that workshop, there is Viscount Lester's side, a part of the Mage Tower?"

In the afternoon, Gretel rode Apa for hundreds of miles and rushed directly to the location of Viscount Lester, the city of Thursil.After wandering around the city for half the night, I went directly to the Mage Tower outside the city the next day.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.Belton Leeds, the presiding mage of the Mage Tower in Sehir City, obviously also reads "Arcane" and "Magic" on a regular basis, and has seen Gretel's name in journals.As soon as he heard it was him, he immediately opened the door to greet him.

In terms of mage level, this Leeds mage is one level higher than Gretel, but 20 years older than him.He has been stationed abroad for a long time, and seeing a magician from Nevis like Gretel, he is extremely enthusiastic.

He personally greeted the gate of the mage tower, led people into the VIP hall on the top of the tower, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and urged the mages under him one after another:
"Make tea! Bring me that new brick of tea! Boil the milk, put sugar on it, and bring your papers..."

Gretel: "..." It doesn't have to be so...

The two chatted happily.Gretel talked about the latest academic research trends in Nevis, and Master Leeds talked about the customs and specialties of Leicestershire with great interest.But when hearing Gretel's request, Master Liz couldn't help showing embarrassment:
"This... treatment of sewage is very costly, and the workshop may lose money. It will affect the performance appraisal of the Mage Tower and our research funding. This is a big trouble. And to be honest, that workshop is not owned by the Mage Tower family, so I can't do it. host……"

Gretel silently pulled out a stack of papers.Looking around, Mage Liz understood, and dismissed all low-level mages.Gretel put down the paper and pushed it along the table:

"...Would you like to see this first?"

Talking and turning the paper upside down.When Master Liz saw the topic, he took a silent breath:
"On the Harm of Cadmium to the Human Body"

The thesis is thick and full of pictures and texts.One page after another, the content inside was shocking: joint pain, bone pain, osteoporosis... liver damage, kidney damage...

Existing cases, cadmium exposure history, and the therapeutic effect of [Detoxification Art - Cadmium] prove the existence of such damage...

Master Liz lowered his head slightly, and quickly began to recall whether he accidentally came into contact with this thing in the process of managing the workshop.After recalling it again, I was sure that there was no one, so I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to read:

"...Our use of cadmium dyes was long before the discovery of this element. [Disperse Yellow] This dye has been widely used in the production of glass, ceramics, and paints so far."

After reading this, Master Liz couldn't help turning his head slightly and glanced at the colorful glass windows.This window is also a product of the glass workshop, and has the same origin as those glass cups:
"When the glass and ceramic vessels fired with it are filled with hot water, cadmium may be precipitated and ingested by the user..."

He changed color slightly.And Gretel sat opposite, watching his words and expressions, and said quietly:

"I bought a few glassware from a glass store in the city. Anything with printing, soaked in hot water, can precipitate cadmium."

Sweat dripped from the forehead of Master Liz.Glassware, especially printed glassware, was out of the reach of ordinary people—the clients were all rich and powerful.Let them know that the glasses sold in the Mage Tower are poisonous?
"...What do you want?"

"I still have a lot of things to do in Hartland City. I won't return to Nevis within half a month to a month. I will submit this paper when I return to Nevis."

Gretel answered frankly.During this period of time, the remedies that should be remedied and the recalls that should be recalled by the glass workshop should be roughly smooth.Seeing Master Liz nodded quickly, he suddenly smiled:
"Also, although I don't know much about dyes... But if the dye falls off, it is most likely due to the temperature of the glass burning. Raising the temperature should be able to fix it."

As he spoke, he dug and dug in the interspatial bag, and took out another stack of papers.How to deal with the smoke from the dye workshop; how to harden canals and plant ponds; the letter of introduction written by Elwin Elwin to the elders of the deity religion in this county...

With the method, with the budget, with the network.The wish of the mage tower should also be there.It shouldn't be difficult to promote pollution control in workshops, right?
