After the transaction, the two chatted for a while.
"How long do you plan to stay in Nafu City?" Claire asked casually.
"Originally I planned to stay for one day and then leave, but I met some bandits on the road and my guards were a little injured. In addition, I have been traveling on the road during this time, and I have a big neck disease." Shane raised his head and pointed at his neck, which was different from others and was a bit thicker. He continued, "So I'll stay here for a while. By the way, please ask where the church here is. I want to cure this disease."
If Shane hadn't used his fingers, Claire wouldn't have noticed that the other person's neck was a little thick. This is an obvious feature of large neck disease. The neck will become thicker in the future, but it's not serious yet.
Claire looked at the other person's neck and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of something.
Big Neck Disease is caused by iodine deficiency. Generally, iodine was added to the salt in the previous life, so it is rare to see people with this condition there. It seems that the cause of Big Neck Disease is not known here yet. Generally, if you get the disease, you can only go to the church to receive holy light treatment from the priest, although Claire is very annoyed with Church of Light, but he still has to admit that the other party is still very good at Healing Technique. No matter how big or small the illness is, Holy Light Healing is guaranteed to be effective.
For some diseases, it is difficult for doctors who don't know the cause to come up with a treatment. Just like a big neck disease like Shane, they are completely helpless. They can only hire some magicians with Healing Technique or go directly to the church to receive the baptism of holy light. If they really can't afford it, they can only go under the knife and cut off the enlarged area. The chance of death during the operation is extremely high.
What Claire just thought of was the plan to add iodine to salt. Nafu City has no industrial pillars that can automatically obtain Gold Coins from the outside world, and this may be a good opportunity.
Claire The more I think about it, the brighter my eyes become, and the more I think this is feasible.
If the salt industry is regarded as an industry of Nafu City, not only Nafu City can obtain Gold Coins from the outside world, but also within Nafu City Create employment opportunities and allow residents in the viscounty to have new sources of income. In this way, power can be obtained from the outside to promote the development of Nafu City, and a steady stream of caravans will come here to buy salt.
"Don't worry, I'll take you around Nafu City first." Claire smiled.
Although Shane didn't know what Claire's plan was, he still nodded and said, "Excuse me, I just want to visit your city as well."
Claire led Shane around Nafu City, going where there were more people, and the residents who saw Claire also said hello to Claire.
"Your Majesty, Lord Viscount!"
"Hello, Lord Viscount!" A little boy waved vigorously!
Claire also smiled and gestured one by one. On the contrary, Shane on the side became more and more surprised. Although there were lords in several cities that I went to before, they took the initiative to greet their lords, but it was just a formality. There was no sincerity from the residents of Nafu City. Everyone looked excited and grateful when they saw Claire! I wish I could show my face in front of Claire.
Shane took a deep look at Claire and felt that he seemed to be a different kind of person than the other person. He didn't know how to explain it. If he had to say it, it seemed that he was greater than himself...
Claire took the other party for a walk around the sewer project that was still under construction, and even walked around outside Rona's hospital before finally stopping.
"How is it? How do you feel?" Claire asked with a smile.
Shane took a breath, took another look at the surrounding environment, and praised sincerely, "To be honest, Nafu City under your management, Lord Viscount, is a happy place where everyone can live. I have been to many cities, some of which are many times richer than this, but none of their residents have such smiles on their faces, and when they meet their lords, they are far from being as respectful as your subjects meet you."
These are the words Shane said from the bottom of his heart, "Moreover, the sanitation in the city is very clean. You also plan to build sewer pipes. This is something I can only see in some big cities. You are a great lord."
Claire Listening to the other party's words of praise for himself, a series of question marks popped up on his head.
????
What are you talking about? I took you for a tour and even took you to the hospital. Have you shown all this?
So he prompted. "Did you notice anything after walking around here?"
Shane frowned and thought carefully about where he had missed the words to praise the other party. It seemed that he had praised them all.
"What's the problem?"
Claire showed a smile, "None of them have the same disease as you."
Shane's eyes widened slightly, and he recalled carefully. It seemed that he had not found any patients with big neck disease along the way.
In places with iodine deficiency, big neck disease often occurs due to iodine deficiency, so Shane did not panic when he got this disease. He just asked a priest for treatment. He had seen many people around him suffer from this disease since he was a child.
But just like Claire said just now, he had never seen anyone with a big neck disease during his journey here. This was very abnormal. He had seen several patients in the cities he entered during his business trip before, not to mention that Claire had specially taken him around so many places with crowds, and there were no patients with this disease among the people who came to the hospital to see a doctor.
Seeing that the other party realized it, Claire said, "We have something that can treat this disease, are you interested?"
Shane couldn't hold back his excitement at this moment. You must know that this disease is very common. If you have this kind of goods, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and your hope of inheriting the title of earl will increase.
However, he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Is this kind of thing expensive?"
This is the crux of the problem. Although doctors are helpless about big neck disease, it can be cured by church pastors. Therefore, the customers must be those ordinary families who can grit their teeth and receive treatment from pastors, or poor families who simply cannot afford treatment by pastors. If the price is too expensive, there will be no market for this thing.
"It's not expensive, it can even be said to be very cheap, just a dozen Copper Coins." Claire smiled.
The reason why the residents in Nafu City do not suffer from big neck disease is because the Viscount is adjacent to the sea, and seaweed, seaweed, and kelp contain a large amount of iodine, so long-term intake will naturally not cause this disease. This disease often occurs in inland areas where seafood is scarce.
What Claire has to do is to extract the iodine contained in the seaweed, and melt it with salt to create iodized salt for sale. The price is several Copper Coins more expensive than the salt in the world. Presumably, those who buy it can still accept this price.
"That's great!" Shane said excitedly, "Can you take it out and show it to me now?"
"There's no rush. You can rest for a few days. I'll bring the things over then." Claire said. He didn't have iodized salt now. He had to fool the other party into staying for a few days before he had time to get it out.
"No rush, no rush." Shane also smiled. He is a businessman and naturally knows that the other party must have time to prepare.
"That's the hospital. You can send your injured guards here for treatment. The price is very cheap, only a few dozen Copper Coins." Claire pointed to the hospital and didn't dare to say that reporting my name was free. The main reason was that Rona couldn't understand Common Tongue. Even if he reported his name, Rona would only tilt his head: What are you talking about? I don't understand, give me money!
"I'll leave first. I wish you a happy time at Nafu City." Claire finally said.
Shane showed a happy smile and waved desperately towards Claire, "Goodbye, Lord Viscount!"
After Claire left, Shane couldn't help but wave his arms, "Okay!"
This trip to Nafu City made him earn tens of thousands of Gold Coins, and he also found such a good opportunity. He will definitely surpass the two people in front of him and become the next earl!
