The day after the meeting, Frederick came to Frank's office in the Executive Yuan.

Frank was sitting behind the desk in a daze. He originally wanted to be a doctor for a nobleman, but why did he become an official now?
"How's the office?" Frederick asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door, "If it doesn't fit, you can change it."

Frank stood up immediately to greet the leader.

Frederick sat down on the sofa with him, asked Tarot to make tea, and asked at the same time, "Is everything settled at home?"

Frank replied: "I have found a house to live in, because the owner is still hanging on the city wall, no one dares to buy it, and finally it is cheaper for me."

Frederick nodded slightly.

When he was chatting with Thomas last month, a tax official came to report that all the cotton coats issued in a new village were ordered by the village head to take out the cotton, and the village head sold the cotton and half of the donkeys in the village with donkey carts. Lost.

Frederick immediately summoned Jurgen and others to lead troops to surround the village, and the village chief quickly recruited him.

The village chief came from a family of grocery merchants in the city. Their brothers became village chiefs because they could write and count, and as soon as their positions were secured, they began to resell things, not only cotton and donkeys, but also tools and rations. Quite a lot.

In the end, all those who committed crimes in that family were put into iron cages, first hung on a carriage to tour the territory, and then hung on the city wall. Their family members had to sell their properties and leave their hometowns.

Frederick came here on business this time, took a sip from his teacup, and then said: "I was busy with other things before, so I have the opportunity to talk to you about work today."

"I went to the village to inspect the tax work last month, and I heard something about the medical treatment."

"You also know that doctors are only available in cities and towns because of their specialization. Farmers in villages can only go to the city to see doctors when they are sick. Many people die of emergencies. Busy with farming, when the farm is slack, the serious illness is difficult to treat."

"I have a plan. Let you preside over the writing of a medical book. This book does not need to write about those complicated diseases, but mainly includes the diagnosis and cheap treatment methods of some common diseases."

"For medicine, you can go to Weissburg University to find Professor Friedrich. He is now committed to researching cheap and effective medicines."

"This book is in easy-to-understand language. It is best that even a literate farmer can understand it and prescribe the right medicine."

"Then I plan to open a training class. A young man with a bright head will be selected from a village for short-term training. As long as he can rely on this book to diagnose common diseases."

"This book, coupled with Professor Friedrich's cheap medicinal materials, can allow many patients in the village to be treated in time."

"In addition to doctors, there are also midwives who plan to train in this way."

Frank stood there holding his teacup. The existence of the "barefoot doctor" was beyond his two ages, and he couldn't understand it for a while.

Frederick had wanted to point out the barefoot doctor for a long time, but some preconditions needed to be resolved. Without papermaking and printing, there was no way to print and distribute a large number of related manuals; without finished medicines, these amateur doctors needed to spend a lot of energy learning pharmacy. Increased learning costs.

Now that these conditions are beginning to appear, he will start this work.

Frank thought for a long time, put down his teacup and said, "I can't do this job alone. I'm good at internal medicine and obstetrics. Other experienced doctors need to do it."

"I think this work is very meaningful. I can write to my professors and classmates in the medical school and invite them to do it together."

Frederick thought for a while and asked, "There is no medical school in the University of Weissenburg. I wonder if you can invite an authority to open a medical school here. While teaching, you can also write this medical book."

"I'm going to fund Weissenburg University to write an encyclopedia. There is no medical encyclopedia yet. I plan to fund you to take the lead in inviting doctors to write the medical part of the encyclopedia."

Then he took out a piece of rough hemp paper from his pocket, printed a few watermarks on the bottom of the teacup as before, and handed it to the other party.

"We, Wessenling, are researching new text carriers." He said proudly, "When we succeed, we can print a large number of cheap books."

Frank was also instantly dumbfounded.

The concept of encyclopedias has been around for a long time. Some people try to write them alone, but due to the limitations of personal financial resources, ability and life span, only small-category encyclopedias have appeared.

It’s not that no one has thought about asking nobles for funding, but in this era when handwritten books are expensive, an encyclopedia is just a decoration, and it costs a lot of money without pretending to be big, and no local tyrant is interested in it.

If an encyclopedia were to be published in large numbers, Frank understood what it would mean, as a scholar, to have his name on it.

Frederick looked at Frank with a smile. It was not the first time he had seen such an expression. He had the same reaction when he talked about the plan with Manuai two days ago. He even trembled and blushed.

After ten minutes, Frederick walked out of the office contentedly.

Frank had ignored him, talking about writing letters to those people.
