I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 160 Red Armband Nedra (including 283 words popular science)
It was already dark when Peter returned to the palace. As usual, he took a bath at the place where he bathed last time before returning to the palace where he lived with Ekaterina.

After asking Ekaterina some questions about running a newspaper, Peter sat down at a table in the palace, and wrote the following question on a piece of parchment:

"1. Mortality in Orphanages;"

"2. Punishment for those who abandon babies;"

"3. The Health Code;"

Improving the population is divided into several steps. In addition to using potatoes to solve the famine problem, it is to let the babies born survive and reduce abandoned babies.

But it's not just about taking them to an orphanage, either.

With the knowledge of his previous life, Peter foresees many problems.

In the German-speaking city of Kassel, only 740 of 88 children survived, and half of them died before the age of eight.

In Metz, seven out of eight children in custody died.

In the Principality of Beckman, even though a large sum of money was received from the Principality’s treasury, only one child grew up in 12 years.

In Paris, France, in the second year of the French Revolution, that is, in 1790, more than 23000 children were adopted in orphanages. Only ten years later, the number soared to 62000. One in eleven will die young.

The best situation in the eighteenth century was in Vienna, where Theresa lived, with an orphanage infant mortality rate of 54.5%.

The leading cause of death is hunger, followed by lack of love.

The second experiment came from Frederick, who experimented with infants in an orphanage and gave them only milk, but prohibited all skin-to-skin contact, and found that this also resulted in death.

Peter was glad that he remembered the data of his previous life so clearly, which helped him avoid detours and further build the orphanage.

……

After a busy day, Nedra can finally lie down and rest, but Nedra still feels a little strange about the place where she sleeps.

Because she and three other female state-owned serfs lived in the same room, and there were four beds side by side in the room, and there was a gap in the middle so that the two of them could walk side by side without being crowded.

There is also a vanity mirror in the room, which leans directly on the ground. I heard that this thing is very expensive.

They could hardly imagine such treatment.

Although the size of the room was not very large, it was not small either. It didn't make them feel cramped, and it was well ventilated. More importantly, there were no whips here.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Nedra returned to her room. She first fetched water to wash her face, feet, and body.

Here, the four of them share a room, and there are many houses like this, which are separated by men and women. To Nedra's excitement and anxiety, there is actually a public bath here, which is divided into men's baths and women's baths.

Moreover, the Virgin Mary's decree stipulates that bathing should be done at least once every three days in spring and summer, and this time can be extended to seven days in autumn and winter.

"But, won't you get sick after taking a bath?"

Nedra thought with some hesitation, but compared to resisting the order and not taking a bath, she preferred to follow the law.

Because, the decree clearly stated that if one of the violations is violated, one demerit will be recorded, and if there are five demerits and the review is correct, then the violator will be expelled and can no longer serve as a red armband or a white armband.

As a result, the tax deduction and exemption of the family where they live will naturally be cancelled.

Nedra had already washed in the public bath yesterday, so today she just wiped her body.

Thinking of yesterday, Nedra couldn't help being a little shy. It was the first time he had taken a shower with so many girls when he was so old, and he really didn't dare to look anywhere.

"Nedra, hurry up, we have to read the decree for 10 minutes at [-] o'clock, and then salute His Majesty the Emperor."

The one named Nedra is another state-owned serf. Unlike Nedra, she has a white armband and her name is Barbaria.

In each room, some rooms are all red armbands, some are all white armbands, but her room is mixed.

I heard it was because the houses were built hastily, and they haven't been fully allocated yet.

Nedra glanced at Barbaria. Barbaria looked petite and timid, but now she was talking to her anxiously.

But Nedra didn't mind at all, she hurriedly finished cleaning her body and said:
"Barbaria, please don't mind, I'm fine."

The other two state-owned serfs looked a little displeased, but seeing Nedra packed up quickly, they didn't say anything, and the four of them began to recite the decree on the bed.

The voice is low and quiet, I dare not read too loudly, but I dare not lose focus.

Because the recitation time and the time for greeting His Majesty are all set, and someone will come to check. If the recitation of the decree is not done, the four people in the whole room will collectively remember it once, and if they do not greet His Majesty, it will be even worse. will be driven back.

"Keep your body clean, put an end to bad habits, don't drink alcohol, don't steal things, be honest, and don't have emotional and physical communication with male serfs without the permission of the Notre Dame Marriage Department..."

"Everyone's hair is trimmed regularly, and they have to be checked by nuns once a week to ensure that there is no baldness or hair loss caused by any reason..."

"No one is allowed to confiscate the belongings issued by the mother. Once found and confirmed, they will be expelled. No one is allowed to sell and discard babies without permission. Once found, they will be issued by the secret office, and the family members will be exiled at the same time..."

Nedra recited word by word. In fact, many serfs were illiterate, but after they were selected, the nuns taught them how to recite.

Even if you don't know the words above, you can match them up by memory. In this environment, basically everyone can do it word for word.

The Holy Mother's decree is divided into internal and external, and internally it is for their red armbands and white armbands. Nedra has already memorized this Holy Mother's decree, but she dare not neglect it in the slightest.

She didn't even dare to look out of the corner of her eye, but she could feel that a nun was coming to inspect.

Ten minutes is enough time for them to recite once, and then the eulogy to the supreme emperor of Russia, Queen Elizabeth, and Her Majesty Peter began.

"Respected Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Emperor, we pray to the Holy Mother with the most pious hearts, may the two Majesties be healthy every day, and your blessings are greater than our own, our parents, and everything else. We will live together for the rest of our lives. For generations, we have served the two Majesties as we serve the Holy Mother, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, the thought of the two Majesties fills us with the courage and determination to go forward and overcome any difficulties."

"We firmly believe that no matter what decision His Majesty makes, even if it is misunderstood as absurd and unreasonable by the world, it is because the world does not have His Majesty's vision and mind. We will firmly believe in His Majesty's decision and put our bodies Dedicate our souls and souls to His Majesty, and regard all His Majesty's words and deeds as the standard, we don't need to have our own ideas, we only need to act according to His Majesty's thoughts and instructions, this is our greatest blessing."

"Your Majesty the Almighty Emperor, Your Majesty the Almighty Queen, you are our father, our mother, and our lord, and we are your most devout and humble but most dedicated servants. May your Majesty live in good health every day and lead us to the light. "
