Opening his mouth and yawning, Wangda immediately stood up and went to the basin in the house to wipe his face with cold water. Soon, the spirit was raised, and the sleepiness that naturally arose in the warm room was expelled by the cold water. At noon, I ate the meal prepared by my mother in the office, and put the lunch box on the iron stove heating next to the house to keep the food warm. Hot meals are especially pleasant to eat in winter.

After eating, Wangda slept in the small bed for a while, and it was great to take a nap in the warm room. After being woken up by the alarm clock, Wangerda quickly got up and washed his face, and then went to the diocese to meet the bishop's secretary as planned. The bishop's secretary didn't look very energetic, even in the winter. Wanda asked if anyone had been sent here after freezing to death recently. The secretary asked Wanda with a blank face, "Who cares about this, Your Excellency Sheila can't help but think too much." ”

Wangerda laughed dryly, of course he didn't dare to say anything about the content of His Excellency Sheila's topic. Citizenship guarantees that Sheila will continue to run for the next Senate and, if nothing else, Sheila's Senate will be able to serve several terms. So Her Excellency Sheila continued to be the focal point of the Senate. There are a lot of implications for this proposal, and it is best not to reveal the purpose of Her Excellency Sheila first.

Looking at Wangerda's expression, the bishop's secretary suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly asked eagerly, "Excuse me, is Your Excellency Sheila going to build a hospital where Dr. Song is going to be treated." ”

Wangerda didn't hear such news at all, and Dengshi was also shocked. After talking to the bishop's secretary for a while, Vanda hurried back to his office and told Sheila what he had heard. After hearing this, Sheila asked Wanda to continue working, and she sent an errand runner to deliver a message.

Before dinner, it rained again in the winter sky. Sheila's carriage went to the temporary residence of Duchess Bardon in Constantinople, who had great influence in the west and was almost wiped out by the rebellion of the great nobles of the west, who was even more powerful than her. Regardless, the Duchess survived and became what is now one of the top three nobles in the western part of the Eastern Roman Empire. It is said that the duchess would announce at this party that she would reside in Constantinople after obtaining citizenship.

The duchess lived in a star-rated hotel built by the office, and she went there just past the office. Stopping at the agreed place on the side of the road, a man with an umbrella knocked on the window of the carriage, and Sheila opened the car to her old colleague, who entered the carriage with a cool air.

"The doctors in the office already have a regular target for treatment?" Sheila asked.

"Didn't you hear about building a hospital?"

"I've heard about it, and I wanted to get in touch with more people in the church, but now I have to be careful."

"The director asked me to tell you that people from other churches are going to have normal contact. Don't ask Mother Teresa. ”

"What's her secret?" Sheila was curious, but not strange. No matter how famous Teresa is, she is still a nun from an ordinary background. Being able to obtain citizenship showed that the church hierarchy trusted her.

"More than ten years ago, the Great Song Dynasty launched a health campaign and proposed to vaccinate the church's top leaders, and the church found some people to do experiments. Teresa, who was an ordinary nun at the time, was one of them. Seeing that they are all right, the upper echelons of the church are also vaccinated. The group of people who volunteered to be test subjects gained the trust of the church. Since then, Mother Teresa has received new vaccinations and physical examinations every year at her own expense......"

The conversation didn't last long, the old colleague got out of the car, and Sheila continued to go to the banquet. She leaned back in the saddle, shocked by what she had received. Ask others to persist in penance, endure pain and pray sincerely when they are sick. Mother Teresa, who insisted on this 'way of salvation', relied on the medical technology of Da Song at an early age, even much earlier than Sheila.

After thinking about it for a while, Sheila felt that she was too stupid to make such a fuss, and the book "A Brief History of the World's Religions" began by saying that mature religious organizations have become skilled and complete business organizations. It's not surprising that business organizations choose what is best for them, but it's strange not to! Filled with criticism of herself, Sheila remembered the popular rumors about Mother Teresa, who was said to be recognized by God for her devotion and that she would not get sick no matter how much she came into contact with a seriously ill patient. Sheila was still a little stupid at the time to believe that it was very likely that she could get sick from contact with a sick person, and that it was surprising that Mother Teresa did not get sick. Considering that the nun had an army of immune bodies in her veins that were more abundant than Sheila's...... Sheila admired it even more.

When I arrived at the hotel, there were already many horse-drawn carriages parked at the door. Dasong is divided into levels according to different hotel facilities. Running water, heating in winter, and 24-hour guards are the lowest one-star ratings. I felt the warmth when I entered the door, although it was not as warm as Sheila's office with two coal stoves, and it was no worse than an ordinary aristocratic mansion.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he entered the banquet hall, and there were already many acquaintances inside. I also saw the bishop in his robes. When the bishop saw Sheila coming, he stood up and walked over. The two of them sat down on the sofa in the corner, and the bishop asked in a low voice, "I wonder what your Excellency wants to do when you ask about the number of dead since the beginning of winter." ”

"I want to do something for the people of Rome." Sheila replied calmly.

"Are you really going to repair the hospital?" The bishop looked a little excited. There were many clergy and people sent by the church in the visiting group, and the Great Song Dynasty was very powerful, and everyone in the visiting group had different concerns. Some of the visitors were impressed by the strong medical system of the Great Song Dynasty. Each small area has its own small hospital, where simple ailments are solved. If the community hospital can't solve the problem, it will be sent to a larger hospital for treatment. As a bishop, of course, he understands how strong the medical standard of the Song people is.

Sheila didn't say that her purpose was to mine coal, and she smiled: "Your Excellency, do you want me to make a proposal?" Is there someone else who has already prepared a proposal? ”

"Sheila's proposal is also very good." The bishop subtly expressed what he had learned, "We hope to build a church hospital. ”

Sheila did not follow up on the topic, but asked about the number of deaths due to low temperatures since the beginning of winter last year. The bishop told Sheila that in the past few years, the death toll has been more than three to four thousand after the beginning of winter, and last year the death toll soared to more than seven thousand because there was no coal from the Yuan Kingdom. This number frightened Sheila, she didn't think that so many people would die, at most one or two thousand more than in previous years......

The banquet was nothing special, and as with the news I had heard before, the Grand Western noble, Duchess Barden, announced that she was moving to Constantinople to live. It seems that the Duchess wanted to show Baseleus the loyalty of their family.

These didn't mean anything to Sheila, and the biggest meaning was probably that she could attend the banquets and balls held by the Duchess of Bardon in the future. While Sheila was considering her proposal, Duchess Bardon sent someone to invite Sheila to her room, and when she went, she saw several Western nobles waiting inside.

"Your Excellency Sheila, we would like to ask you to help us contact the people from the Europa Provincial Office." The Duchess made a straightforward request.

"If it's for agricultural cooperation, you can contact them directly. I can give them business cards. ”

Duchess Bardon smiled, the smile of the nobles when they talked about great economic interests. Straightforward and a little sarcastic, probably trying to let the other party know, 'Don't be perfunctory to me'.

Without waiting for Duchess Bardon to speak, another marquis next to her spoke: "Your Excellency, we don't want to make a fuss with those landlords who have a little land. We're very interested in Suren's approach. ”

Even though she knew that someone must be asking about all about herself, Sheila couldn't help but feel a little excited. Whether Suren is considered Sheila's person or not, Sheila herself is not sure. On the face of it, Suren was obedient to Sheila. Sheila said a word, and Suren gave up the production of sweet potatoes that made him very profitable. Both ordinary nobles and great nobles will be convinced that Suren has pledged allegiance to Sheila. Money is the lifeblood of the nobles, and what is the reason for giving up their lifeblood other than complete allegiance?

"Your Excellency, we hope to meet the great names you have recommended to Suren. Suren is so loyal to you, you will always give him enough in return. After the Marquis finished speaking, he stared at Sheila like the other great nobles.

"Your Excellency Suren may not be the same as you." Sheila simply told the truth, she hoped that these top nobles would be smart enough to understand the difference between Suren and Suren, at least Sheila herself had never sensed that Suren wanted to be loyal to her personally. "Your Excellency Su Lun is really farming. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask you, if you could make more money, would you continue to grow food on your land? It's not that I'm reluctant to recommend you, and I can promise you. But I want to make sure of your minds first. His Excellency Su Lun just likes farming, and he won't do it if you give him the number of ways to make more money. He just loves farming. So I recommend it to someone who specializes in farming. Please be clear about this. ”

Several of the great nobles looked at each other, and the Marquis spoke, "We know the sepiolite business that Your Excellency recommended to the eastern nobles. ”

These words made Sheila can't help but change her face, that is, she knows that she can't hide it at all, and Sheila also hopes that the news can spread more slowly, more slowly.

"We don't ask Your Excellency for a sepiolite business, because we know that the Eastern nobles will not give up this business." The Marquis deliberately said in a relaxed tone, and several other top nobles in the west laughed along.

"We only hope that Her Excellency Sheila will help us introduce the people you recommend to Suren, our lands are connected, and we have not only one river in our territory, we have two. We also think that Her Excellency Sheila will want the support of the nobles of the West. ”

The last sentence made Sheila's eyes suddenly sharpen, and she replied decisively: "I don't know if your Excellency is mistaken about anything, why do you think that having support will be more beneficial to me?" ”

The marquis was stunned, he didn't understand what Sheila meant. A smile appeared on the corner of Duchess Balden's mouth. Sheila didn't care what the nobles thought, she continued to make her words clear, "I am willing to cooperate with you, because I have been able to get to where I am today completely dependent on everyone's help. Seeing the enthusiastic help, I am also willing to make everyone's life better by helping others. But it's not the kind of support that's what it is. I think the help is mutual respect, and I know that you are worthy of respect when I am in trouble, so I go to your door with humility and ask for your reception. If I can be received by you, I will express my request in the clearest and clearest terms, express my respect for you, and expect you to treat me with the same respect. Even if it is a refusal, as long as it is reasonable, I will accept it. People should help each other. But there are people, those people who are by no means worthy of respect like you. They believe that respect is not based on mutual respect and mutual help, and they hold our name up in front of us, as if the Legion had the Legion flag held by the Legion when it was dispatched. That kind of person doesn't know what help is, and they don't know what respect is. They just want to use someone else's pretext to scare someone else. I don't think it's respect, and I don't want to give that kind of person any help. You are all respectable people, and I want to know what you think of such people. ”

The nobles were silent, looking at their frowning and thinking, and Sheila was silent. She didn't want to make it too clear, she was very suspicious that the Marquis Fangcai's words represented that the western nobles wanted to take advantage of Sheila. The Europa province behind Sheila is completely public, and everyone knows Sheila's comprador experience, so there is nothing to hide from this.

However, for ordinary people, they did not notice the power of the legion behind Sheila. Sheila's biggest takeaway in the last six months has probably been her relationship with the Legion. In addition to her brother Cicelius, the trial production of caramel did bring Sheila and the Legion closer. For example, one of the leaders of the Western Patriarchs, Fabi Euro, saw this, so he asked Sheila to come forward to help the West obtain a sweet potato supply quota.

The silence was broken by Duchess Barden, "Your Excellency Sheila, we western nobles are afraid of the Legion, you are right. ”

Sheila was silent, of course she understood this, so she didn't want to have any political collusion with the western aristocracy. The image of the western aristocracy in the eyes of Barcellus is not good, in addition to the fact that the western aristocracy once rebelled, there is also a historical plot in it. Originally, the western aristocracy was the foundation of the Eastern Roman Empire, but in the days when the Crusaders invaded the Eastern Roman Empire, some of the western nobles betrayed the Eastern Roman Empire.
