European Financial Emperor - European Financial Emperor chapter 3

003 When knowledge that you do not know springs up (1)

Pretend to pretend, sometimes touk, memories of the dead are really useful.

However, it seemed that it would be a bit of a problem to talk about how they acquired that knowledge in the future.

Lee Hwan thought that was no big deal.

In that case, it’s best to just turn around.

“… … Anyway, you know how to measure. Are you surprised?”

“If you are really bored, you can learn western navigation skills from me. Time will pass.”

As Lee Hwan turned around, Andre ate it up.

‘I haven’t given you an answer yet.’

Andre was somehow extremely reluctant to talk about his circumstances.

But I also wanted to know if I had to find out.

Because everyone has secrets.

Lee Hwan decided to change the topic after he changed his mind.

“I want to learn business, is there any way?”

“Business?”

“I told you last time. I want to become a chaebol.”

“Did that conglomerate mean that?”

“yes that’s right.”

“Hmm, but it’s a little bit for a noble person like the master to go out into business… … .”

“There is no noble in a job, and there is no foundation in money. And does someone who has studied catholicism discuss the class system?”

“Haha, that’s right. I will find a way.”

That was when the voyage continued.

Urleung, quaang!

Suddenly, thunder and lightning fell from the sky.

“… … Oh my, it must be a storm?”

“Then what do you do?”

“Well, you have to get through it. This ship comes all the way here, haven’t you met a storm? Don’t worry, we’re all veterans.”

The eve of the storm when a huge storm is about to strike.

Just then, the cabin door swung open and a woman with her hair loosed and ran out.

“Sobbing! Please save my baby!”

“… … Mrs Benheren?”

She was Icilia, who gave birth to Ben-Heren’s daughter.

Ben Heren had no children yet, so he was spurring production activities (?) while traveling.

After such hard work, the child born was her daughter Maria.

Ben-Herren’s wife, or to be more precise, his mistress Icilia, appeared to be almost half-in-mind after her daughter Maria had already been running high for 12 hours.

She was on the verge of going crazy because she was sick with a child in this vast ocean.

It seems that Lee Hwan also heard the rumor at first glance, but he did not know exactly what Maria’s condition was.

“Richard! Your daughter is dying! How can I get my hands on it! please!”

People clicked their tongues.

“Ttttttt, that poor thing looks like he’s about to die.”

Just then, two doctors from the fleet ran out.

However, he did not look very good as he had been drinking all night yesterday.

“Madam, what’s going on?!”

“Heh heh, my baby is dying! How do you do it!”

“Can I take a look at the situation for a moment?”

“In the manger over there… … .”

In 1801, Napoleon’s establishment of hospitals and medical educational institutions in France began intensive training of doctors.

Although the intern system had just been introduced and formally trained doctors, there were still more unlicensed doctors than those with formal medical education.

The two doctors in the fleet were medical staff who formally studied medicine in France and went through internships.

But there was no difference between them and the unqualified doctors.

They couldn’t really diagnose the child’s condition.

“The Black Death… … is it?”

“Huh, the Black Death?!”

“I don’t have a rash all over my body yet, but seeing the heat spread, I think it might be the Black Death.”

This was the present state of European medicine.

In the past, knowledge was gradually established in Europe by the establishment of a library, a treasure trove of knowledge, by Alexander the Great, a disciple of Aristotle, but everything was burned down in a fire.

With this seemingly insignificant incident, Europe’s medicine had gone backwards.

Since then, Western medicine has been developing very slowly.

Although surgical knowledge has developed and quite skilled surgeons have been produced, there have been no internal medicine physicians who could not properly distinguish a single fever symptom.

Even before surgery, washing hands or disinfecting wounds was considered strange.

“The Black Death… … .”

“Are there any other symptoms?”

“My child has a stomach ache all day and rolls around. And having diarrhea all night… … .”

“And again?”

“At night, the cough gets so bad that I can’t sleep.”

These self-proclaimed doctors had a conversation among themselves, and then shook their heads.

It seemed as if there was no hope.

Lee Hwan looked at him and ridiculed himself as if pathetic.

‘What kind of black death are these crazy people? Is it all about the plague when you cough and have a fever?’

In this era, even if there is only fever, it is called the Black Death, because this disease was regarded as a synonym for fever.

Of course, it was also because they did not know the cause of the body’s heat.

“I have diarrhea so much that my butt hurts. If so, it is most likely gastroenteritis. If you’re not dehydrated, you’re lucky, and if you’re unlucky, your intestines may be stretched. Cough gets worse at night Do you have any trouble breathing? If you have trouble breathing, you might suspect laryngitis… … .”

“Yes… … ?”

Andre, who was next to Lee Hwan, looked at him, startled at the words he uttered.

Andre wanted to know what was going on, but Lee Hwan’s brain was spinning as fast as he turned on the computer, and he muttered as his subconscious uttered.

He walked towards Icilia, as if the unconscious was controlling his body, as if he was attracted by a magnet.

Andre stopped such ailments.

“Master, where are you… … .”

“The child is going to die.”

As if his words didn’t ring in his ears at all, Lee Hwan silently stood by Isilia’s side.

Then he said this in French.

“The Black Death, no.”

“… … What?”

For a moment, Andre was startled.

It was the first time I found out today that he was fluent in French.

“… … young master?”

Speaking of French as well as knowledge from unknown sources, Andre wondered if he was hiding a mysterious ability that no one knew about.

Meanwhile, Lee Hwan asked two doctors as if arguing.

“What are the exact symptoms and characteristics of the Black Death?”

“Is this guy crazy? Dare to say where this is… … ?!”

“The plague usually has an incubation period of 2 to 6 days and presents with a fever of 38 degrees or higher. There are three main types of Black Death, depending on the symptoms. It can be divided into sputum black death in which the sputum mites enlarges, septic black death characterized by hemorrhagic spots and distal end necrosis caused by disseminated blood vessels, and the most common pneumonic plague. It is known that if treatment is missed, there is a 50% chance of death.”

“… … !”

“From my point of view, I don’t see the characteristics of such a Black Death.”

The doctors kept their mouths shut, like honey-eaten morons, and their eyes twitched without saying anything.

After hearing Lee Hwan’s story, the people began to murmur.

“That boy must have learned medicine properly!”

“Doctors must have been busy eating meat in France and playing around. I’m not studying what to do.”

“By the way, that’s great! In the original country of Joseon, do you teach medicine to boys first?”

“… … What a great country! No matter how many doctors are, there are not many people who can distinguish the real plague, right?”

There was no choice but to exclaim. This is because Lee Hwan was several dozen times better than the real doctors.

Lee Hwan gave a word to the doctors who were only talking irresponsibly.

“If you lack medical knowledge, at least be kind to your patients.”

“… … what?!”

“Madam, what exactly are your symptoms?”

With their faces blushing and swelling up like ripe red sage, Lee Hwan asked Isilia a paperweight.

Then she came to her senses and explained her symptoms.

“Uh, uh… … . Oh, the child has diarrhea! And I can’t sleep because my stomach hurts!”

“How did you know you were hungry? The child may not be able to speak yet.”

“I keep getting a stomach ache, so I put my hand on my stomach and wiggle like this.”

Icilia pretended to be a child moving.

Through him, Lee Hwan could see roughly how the child was sick.

“And again.”

“He, and… … . Keep coughing! I think my voice was resting, especially at night. It sounds like a dog barking and can’t even breathe.”

In an instant, the diagnosis of Maria’s condition flashed through Lee Hwan’s mind.

Although children often have fevers of unknown cause, lasting two days is definitely problematic.

‘Is it endemic? In this era, there was no way to boil water or purify it. … .’

It was around the time when Lee Hwan was grasping the condition of the child like a machine, pondering over the child’s symptoms.

Doctors, who had their rice bowls taken away, grabbed Lee Hwan by the neck.

“This bastard! are you a doctor Where did you learn medicine?! uk?! Or is it America?!”

“no. Not like that.”

“Is this guy crazy?! What is this non-doctor talking about?! Are you playing with Miss Maria now?!”

damn!

Those who were old enough to see a little bit of gray hair on their head had slapped Lee Hwan.

Lee Hwan was hit by a slap with a ball.

However, his eyes were much brighter than before.

“It is you who play with the girl. People who do not know exactly what the Black Death is are doctors.”

“… … Does this bastard really want to die?!”

The knowledge and experience of the doctor were awakened.

However, in the process, the professional spirit of the doctor and the code of ethics also permeated naturally.

No, he didn’t even know if it was natural for him to awaken to the work ethic he had as his memories and experiences were awakened.

Lee Hwan boldly confronted those who were only doctors.

“It’s okay to beat me, but if you leave the child alone like this, you may become an idiot later on. Will you be responsible then?”

“That, that… … .”

“Isn’t it a little bit stingy and stinging at a little boy like me without even thinking of taking responsibility?”

“You idiot! Does that mean you can fix Miss Maria?”

“At least I won’t be babbling as petulant as you.”

“what?!”

That was when the doctors were going to slap Lee Hwan again.

Icilia raised her hand.

“for a moment!”

“No, ma’am!”

“… … Can you really save my child?”

Icilia had already lost faith in the behavior of the doctors, and she thought that it would be better to believe in Lee Hwan, who had excellent medical knowledge, if she caught even a straw.

When the doctors turned to Icilia to believe in Lee Hwan, the doctors ran wild.

“… … crazy man! How can I trust a stranger like you?! What kind of repulsion do you have to kill Miss Maria?! Madam, we need to catch this guy and put him in jail!”

“I’d rather have blood drawn! Just one pint and your child will be fine! Now it’s just that the blood isn’t circulating properly.”

There are many reasons for the low life expectancy in the modern West.

This is because, despite entering the era of modernization, absurd superstitions and folk remedies that are not based on medical knowledge still prevailed.

Even doctors with formal training tried to cure diseases by drawing blood if medical knowledge did not work.

“It’s nonsense. Still, putting a knife to a child with weakened immunity is killing the child.”

“… … I’m bored and bored! Ma’am, you must strike that bastard in the head right now!”

While the doctors and Lee Hwan were in a tense confrontation, Isilia’s head turned towards the basement cabin.

I followed her gaze and saw a tall man walking by.

“stop!”

“… … Richard!”

“How is the child?”

With a height of over 190 cm, wide shoulders, and a soft, low-pitched voice that seems to come out of a cave.

His appearance alone gave off a strong presence as if the surroundings were full and there was no room to step.

Lee Hwan was at a loss for words at the majesty of Richard Ben-Heren.

‘… … Is this man the owner of the ship?’
