Chapter 552 Women In Power
Time went by swiftly, as all the men who had previously been out un Ngum city.... had now finally made it back to Baymard in one piece.
Of course, they were awarded for their hard work... as this could"ve been a global issue if it wasn"t controlled properly this time.
And in addition to that, their names were also noted and properly stored for historical purposes..... and a ma.s.sive celebratory party was held in their honour too.
The celebration was given an entire day to itself since most people were exempt from working on that day.
And what really made it all the more tear-jerking, was that the patients that they looked after.... especially the children, all made ma.s.sive cards that had the words "Thank you" on them.
For sure, these cards were made to thank the citizens of Baymard for sending out the capable doctors, nurses and soldiers.... as well as sending them charitable donations from the church here in Baymard.
Because due to these donations, many people in Ngum city had enough money to at least feed themselves for the next month steadily... if they truly wanted to rely only on the money given to them.
But that wasn"t the case, as many people now wanted to become merchants or able farmers who would sell their goods to merchants instead.
They also adopted the idea of picking up trash and disposing of it, so some people now worked for the government as "waste workers"..... and others signed up to join their city lord"s army instead.
Of course, some had learnt a little bit of medicine... or rather healthcare from the doctors.
As they were just taught on what to do if one had the flu, headache, fever and so on.
Because like it or not, these people still died from things like a fever.
Of course when the matter got too serious, they had to get a proper healer to look into the matter.
And that was why their city lord had also invited 2 healers to remain here in Ngum city permanently..... with a fat salary of course.
Anyway, there were so many job opportunities for those people now... as things were really looking up for the people in Ngum City.
And with all that said and done, the whole s.h.i.+njep thing was really finally over.
.
Today, Landon had been trying up all loose ends before his departure tomorrow morning.
And funny as it may seem, or the past few weeks, everyone has been fighting for his attention like crazy once he told them that he would be out of Baymard for a while
Be it government officials, or even those within the lower region... everyone wanted to talk about some matters that needed Landon"s full attention.
And that was why during this entire time, he had been going up and down like crazy.
Fortunately, he was able to quickly satisfy everyone to the best of his abilities.
Anyway... in addition to dealing with all this, Landon also had to give the women in his household several duties as well.
And that was why he was currently holding a meeting with them.
To be more specific, before him.... were; Mother Kim, Mother Winnie, Lucy and Grace.
One should know that every time Landon went out on a mission, he always made sure to give them several tasks to complete.
And because he went out on missions frequently, these ladies had decided to adopt their roles permanently as their second jobs.
That was why they all worked as Government officials in different government offices too.
After all, it was very common for a teacher or a lecturer to take on other jobs as well.
Landon looked at the women before him lovingly, while waiting for his secretary to finish distributing several doc.u.ments to them.
Of course this was an official meeting, so all of them had also brought in their secretaries too.
Everyone had already been sent the official meeting "Agenda", so they knew what they were going to talk about.
And in their tables, one could find a large nameplate there... which showed their names, as well as what government position that they all held.
.
"Ding!"
A small table bell went off, which finally indicated that it was time for the meeting to begin.
The ladies as well as their secretaries, all sat upright while facing Landon seriously.
"Ladies and gentlemen.
Today, we"ve a.s.sembled here because if one important reason... and that is the a.s.surance that things will continue to run smoothly during my absence.
And so just like last time, I will begin by going into detail about their duties while I"m away.
Of course if you have any questions to ask, please do ask during the question and answer (Qu0026A) part of the meeting.
First off, let"s list out everyone"s duties before talking about them in detail later on.
Let"s begin with Mrs. Queen Mother "Kimberly O." from the Ministry of Environment, Conservation u0026 Parks.
Queen Mother Kimberly will continue to ensure that Baymard"s environment, which includes its habitats, streams, lakes and so in ... Constantly remain clean, fresh and free of contamination at all times.
And while doing so, Queen mother Kimberly will also be tasked with properly handling the current situation in Riverdale city.
The city still has some issues with stream water pollution, as several people.. especially tourists, still pollute the streams constantly which in turn contributes to the increase in ill-health within the region.
These people still use their stream and make water drinking, was.h.i.+ng clothes, dishes and even bathing.
So using continued water will definitely make them sick.
And for those with very weak bodies, just something as small as this could even kill them.
That is why you and your team must continuously strive to tackle the matter head-on.
Even though the death rate in that city had gone down drastically... Its results could still be better improved.
So.....With that said, Queen mother Kimberly, can you handle it?"
"Yes, your highness!" Mother Kim answered seriously.
"Good!"
