Chapter 1949: Report released
A few people who came to stab did not have tossing thoughts, and then it was easy to deal with ...
Because the serfs outside the city were taken away by the "rebels", there was no possibility of investigation. So, next, the main object of the investigation team is the seven or eight hundred indigenous people living in the city.
In the fake "Havana City" of Guantanamo, in addition to the 500 guards and soldiers' families led by Tara, there are seven or eight hundred indigenous people. They mainly provide services for Tara and the defending soldiers and belong to the main labor force in the city. After all, it is impossible for Tara and his army to engage in productive labor.
The main objective of the mission is to investigate the living standards of these indigenous people to see if they have been abused. But this problem obviously does not exist. Not to mention that the plan for meeting the inspection has already been prepared here, even if it is not prepared, there will be no abuse of indigenous people in the real city of Havana.
The military discipline of the Beihai Kingdom is very strict, and there will never be any situation where the soldiers bully the people. Even indigenous people, soldiers will not innocent abuse. Unless, the indigenous people broke the law, or refused to accept the rule of the colonial authorities of the North Sea country.
In the city, Bishop Rugani personally took a group of people and visited dozens of families in the city in a sudden attack. Most of them broke in during the meal, mainly to see what the indigenous people were eating.
As a result, they were surprised to find that the indigenous days here are better than the poor Europeans ...
Because rice is grown locally, indigenous people mainly eat rice. Then, just mix some simple vegetables. Because of its tropical location, Cuba is full of vegetables all year round. Therefore, the indigenous people in the city can eat a bowl of white rice when they eat. Then, the family will also eat a pot of vegetables with less oil and water ...
This kind of life is not good, but it is definitely not bad. After all, it's white rice, pure food without wood chips and mud!
This alone shocked the knowledgeable investigative team officials. Baron Mawson asked Tara suspiciously:
"Are you trying to cope with the inspection and specially eating white rice for the indigenous people?"
It's normal for him to guess like this, because Westerners are no strangers to dealing with inspections, and they are a little bit bored.
But Tara looked at herself:
"Of course not for inspection. This place in Cuba is in the tropics. Rice can be cooked twice a year. So there is no shortage of rice. Unfortunately, the problem of local indigenous people ’s rebellion is more difficult. At the same time, the problem of syphilis is also very troublesome. Moreover, tropical jungle There are a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, which is very dangerous ... "After talking, Tara showed a sad expression.
In fact, Tara lied. Two crops a year are rice seeds from India. The Zhancheng rice introduced from the Ming Dynasty (introduced during the Song Dynasty) can reach the level of three crops a year. However, Tara cannot say. Otherwise, it will cause jealousy and covetment.
Bishop Rugani was his own, so he said in coordination:
"That is to say, you are pioneering in Cuba, where danger and profit coexist?" The cultural man is a cultural man, summed up by the semi-illiterate Bitara.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means! Or you, Bishop, you have a high level of education, I have a low level, and the summary is not enough. Well, in general, there is both danger and profit!" Tara repeatedly nodded.
"Then what is the situation except Cuba Island?" Baron Mawson interjected.
"Other places?" Tara thought after looking at Baron Mossen:
"The island of Cuba is pretty good. Some places are called horror. The land on the south, which is the Amazon jungle area, is called dangerous. I heard that people who have gone there have published books describing the situation, It ’s about the same. In addition, there is a place called Panama in the southwest, which is called danger. There are many poisonous insects and poisonous mosquitoes in the jungle. As long as you are bitten, you can easily get malaria ... "
"Malaria?" The members of the investigation team took a breath. In this era, malaria is almost a mortal disease, very terrifying and scary.
"Yes, it is malaria. In the tropical rain forest, the most terrible thing is not beasts, but disease. There are many poisonous mosquitoes and insects on the land on the side of Panama. As long as they are bitten, the light ones are red, swollen and itchy, and the heavy ones are directly Malaria, and yellow fever ... "
"Wait, what is yellow fever?" Baron Mossen interjected. Europeans haven't been exposed to yellow fever at this time, so naturally they don't know what it is. Of course, the Portuguese are the exception. After all, the Portuguese are already colonizing West Africa. Yellow fever is a common disease in West Africa and tropical America.
"It's a bite after being bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes. At the same time, the body has a terrible disease of jaundice, and the mortality rate is very high! It is similar to malaria ..." Tara explained.
In fact, yellow fever is indeed a terrible disease. Because there is currently no treatment for Beihai. It is malaria. With artemisinin, it is no longer a terrible disease. Only, Tara certainly will not tell the secret. After all, malaria is a major illness that scares other countries from colonizing tropical regions. If the treatment method is announced, it will attract colonial competitors.
"It's similar to malaria ..." Other people took a breath of breath, because, similar to malaria, it was basically equivalent to terminal illness in this era.
Speaking of which, Tara Hanhan comforted everyone with a smile:
"Everyone can rest assured that yellow fever is relatively rare on the Cuban island. At most people are suffering from malaria from time to time. It's no big deal ..."
He didn't say it was okay. In this way, the investigation team, including the bishops of Bishop Rugani, insulted Nima in his heart, "Is it no big deal?" Does malaria kill people? Thinking of this, everyone in the investigation team felt insecure ...
It's just that they don't know that Tara really thinks that malaria is no big deal. Because there is artemisinin in Beihai, malaria is a common disease ...
I heard that the tropical region is so dangerous, and the members of the investigation team were a bit stunned. They don't want to suffer malaria and yellow fever from being bitten by mosquitoes here, and die elsewhere. What's more, Baron Mossen was still tossed a few. Therefore, the investigation progress has accelerated ...
A few days later, Bishop Rugani began writing reports
"Dear Pope Masters and Archbishops of the Cardinals, after several days of detailed investigations, we have found that there are no cases of slavery and abuse of indigenous people in the colonies of Cuba and Hispaniola in the North Sea.
The life of the local indigenous people is even better than that of the poor in Europe. Because, according to the colonial governor Tara, the Cuban island is located in the tropics, and rice crops can be cooked twice a year. Therefore, the local indigenous people can be full, each person can eat a bowl of rice for every meal. As for vegetables, there is no shortage of tropical areas in a year ...
But the local indigenous people are not very peaceful and easy to rebel. In addition, there are more poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous insects in tropical forests. In some places, after being bitten by a mosquito, it is easy to get terminal illnesses such as malaria and yellow fever ...
As for the missionary work ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After investigation, the investigation team is indeed true. However, due to language barriers, only a small number of young and intelligent indigenous people can learn European languages and recite the Bible.
Governor Tara told us that they intend to first cultivate a group of smart young indigenous people to become loyal Christians. Then, let those Christians further spread the glory of the Lord to other indigenous peoples. Then, strive to develop all indigenous people into Christians in a few decades ... "
...
"In summary, the North Sea nation ’s pioneering colonial behavior on the wild continent is still civilized, and it indeed spreads the glory of the Lord. Therefore, the mission agreed that the North Sea Kingdom did not abuse the indigenous people, and it was indeed committed to spreading The glory of the past. The previous rumors about the abuse of indigenous people in the North Sea country were pure slander ... "
Bishop Rugani finished the report and circulated it to all members of the investigation team. Baron Mossen, several representatives of the German states, were unhappy after reading it. However, they could not find evidence to refute and could only sign the report helplessly. In addition, they have not slept well these days, and they are worried that they will suffer from malaria after being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes. Therefore, they can only helplessly sign, hoping to end the investigation early so that they can leave here ...
