I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 976: Rectifying the Intelligence System
Yes, currently all the drugs in the world, including the magical "Crown Prince's Blessing", have not undergone double-blind trials.

In other words, there will be no recommended treatment drugs in the "Operation Manual for Physicians". So what is the point of compiling this manual?
Joseph smiled and shook his head: "In fact, the biggest role of prospective doctors is to prevent diseases.

"For example, just have them tell villagers to drink boiled water during an outbreak of cholera or dysentery. Of course, it's best to always drink boiled water.

“Cleaning up stagnant water in front of and behind homes before and after the rainy season and using mosquito nets can effectively reduce the incidence of malaria.

“Not eating raw meat can prevent various parasitic diseases…

"During the cold season, you should cover your mouth and nose with a cloth before going out...

"After an injury, don't put anything messy on it, like dirt, but clean it with phenol...

“Believe me, if all villages and towns can do this, the chances of people getting sick can be reduced by more than half.

"Oh, once the cowpox vaccination experiment is completed, it will be one of the core tasks of prospective doctors. So we can write this prevention method in the manual in advance and let them introduce it to the public in advance."

At this point, Joseph added: “It seems that I just missed an important thing, that is, to set up a disease prevention committee to specifically deal with large-scale infectious diseases.

"You know, many epidemics that kill millions of people could have been avoided if we had controlled a few villages at the beginning..."

By now, Kvisat felt like his brain was overloaded.

The knowledge that the crown prince taught him this afternoon was more than what he had learned in college for several years. But before he had time to remember it, a lot of development issues for the Medical and Health Bureau popped up here.

Joseph saw that the director was constantly wiping the sweat off his face and rubbing his forehead, so he stopped giving him instructions.

Specific matters can only be effectively advanced after the establishment of institutions such as the "Preparatory Committee" and the "Drug Standards Laboratory".

Joseph was about to end the conversation today, but when he stood up, he remembered something else. This was related to Perna.

He gestured to the doctor and said, "By the way, regarding the simple hospital you mentioned last time, I actually think it is very valuable."

The latter whispered: "Are you trying to comfort me?"

Joseph smiled and said, "Of course not. In fact, we do need a number of such hospitals, especially in big cities. But some adjustments need to be made."

Perna's eyes suddenly flashed with joy. It turned out that her idea was not just a fantasy, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approved of her idea.

Joseph continued: "We need to replace the tents with permanent buildings. And hundreds of doctors, and the same number of nurses. And a lot of beds."

Perna hesitated and said, "Your Highness, but this will be very costly..."

Joseph smiled and shook his head: “The biggest expense item in the hospital is the doctor’s salary.

“But there is a type of doctor who doesn’t ask for a very high salary.

“Those are the medical students at various universities.

"They need to deal with actual cases to test what they have learned. We provide such a hospital to give them the opportunity to interact with patients.

“Of course, their professors have to come from time to time to supervise their work and provide help when they encounter patients who are difficult to diagnose.

“I call it the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.”

Well, actually he was just trying to comfort Perna. The affiliated hospital and the doctor's simple hospital had almost nothing in common. But that didn't stop Perna from being in a good mood.

She immediately said excitedly: "That's great, Your Highness, why didn't I think of it. Oh, the Military Medical University now has more than 40 students graduating this year, they must want to get such an internship opportunity!"

Joseph smiled and nodded: "Then the Military Medical University and the government will each contribute part of the money to build a small-scale affiliated hospital, and then slowly expand it in the future."

This hospital will also become a pilot public hospital in France.

Shortly after Corvisat and Perna left, Robert, director of the Security Bureau, the Duke of Broglie, minister of war, and Berthier arrived at the Crown Prince's reception room at the same time.

The three men bowed first, and then Robert stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, a total of 38 people have been arrested. Including General Bonaparte, Colonel Desaix, Lieutenant Meister, and officers who are confirmed to be involved in this incident."

Joseph nodded: "Where's Fouché?"

"He has been placed under house arrest. He is being watched over by Rondale himself." Robert hesitated for a moment and continued, "Your Highness, Fouché said he wants to see you."

Joseph sighed, "No need. I can imagine what he's going to say. Just turn it over to the military court."

He and Fouché had known each other for a long time, and the latter had helped him a lot in rectifying domestic affairs. If he really had to plead with Fouché in person, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

In fact, Joseph knew that from Fouché's perspective, he did not know how big a mistake he had made - because it was difficult for him to understand the strategic impact of stirring up Austria.

But if he really gets things done, it will bring great damage to France.

He also instructed Robert: "Let Rondale be the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau temporarily. Let him reorganize the Intelligence Bureau.

“In the Security Bureau, Lavalette is more capable, so let him be the deputy director.

"The Security Bureau should take over the intelligence agency's overseas network as soon as possible, and should not allow changes in the upper echelons to affect the execution of spies' missions."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In fact, because of this incident of the Intelligence Agency acting alone, Joseph has realized the need to strengthen supervision of the intelligence system.

He is ordering the Ministry of Justice to allocate personnel to form a limited-scale "Internal Affairs Review Office" with high authority, which will be specifically responsible for supervising and reviewing the funding of the two major intelligence departments.

It can be considered as a way of mending the fold after the sheep have been stolen.

Berthier then added: “Your Highness, Colonel Saint-Hilaire has led the Lyon Corps to Udine and is expected to arrive in three days.

"The Corsica Regiment and the Mantua garrison, both commanded by Colonel Lefebvre, returned to Paris for investigation after the change of guard."

Joseph thought for a moment and waved his hand, saying, "No need. Let them return to their base directly. Most of the middle and lower-level officers are not aware of this kind of thing. There is no need to affect morale."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Duke of Broglie and Berthier looked at each other, and the former asked carefully, "Your Highness, regarding General Bonaparte and Colonel Desaix and others, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with them?"

It is difficult for the military court to make a dictatorial decision on such a serious matter.

Joseph immediately said in a deep voice: "Strictly follow the evidence and sentence him according to the most serious crime."
