Chapter Seventy-Eight: They Are Not Devils
Manager Meregg walked over, and he took the voucher to check it. Sure enough, it is the same pattern as recorded in the materials. The total number of family members, the location and number of acres of rented land, and other taxes such as land rent and poll tax payable are clearly written in both Chinese and Dutch languages. This leaves little room for tax collectors to operate in private. And there are no hidden taxes.
Regardless of whether the tax is important or not, this alone makes Manager Melochie have the urge to write a paper. It's called "The Sprout of the Spirit of Contract in the East", right?
Soon, he laughed at himself, everyone was waiting here, thinking nonsense.
He solemnly addressed Wang Niu, the name of the little old man on the contract, and said: "Wang Niu, you have been proved that you have the right to lease our company's land, but we think that the original Dutch East India Company has taken too much of the land rent, so our company has decided to reduce the rent to thirty percent, which is the same as that of other tenants. ”
With that, he stopped and waited for the security team to translate for him.
After hearing this, Wang Niu was surprised and delighted, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated. I was speechless for a moment.
Mei Lezhi pushed the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "However, you must obey the full authority of our agricultural administrator, whom you call agricultural merchants, and you must not cultivate at will." ”
After the security team finished speaking, Wang Niu's face turned white again.
"During this time, you will receive basic rations and non-staple food according to the size of your family until the land is productive. We will deduct the rations and non-staple food we pay from the future harvest of the land, and if the land is out of production, we will provide the rations and non-staple food that have already been paid free of charge. In addition, other taxes are exempt except for poll tax, unless there are special circumstances. It all starts now. ”
If this passage were in normal times, it would have stumped the security team members who helped translate, but because of the good communication with Captain Wu Jianqiang in advance, the security team members who translated almost did not have to think about the language, and Wang Niu fully understood it very fluently.
Wang Niu's face turned red again.
He thought, "This is safer than taking refuge in the head of the family!" Is it so good to give rations in advance? ”
"You don't have to decide right away, you can talk to the leaders here, the tenant farmers. Now we are going to take over the rest of the properties of the Dutch East India Company. 24 hours, not twelve hours later, tell me your choice, and I personally think it is necessary for you to inform your knot and others. ”
Before the convoy left the place, the security team posted a notice written on five large sheets of white paper and posted it on a conspicuous wall on the street. This was written by the special adviser Lin Weisheng, and his calligraphy was the best among the traversers.
They ran to a hospital and a school, as well as a few thousand sugar fields and other appendages. The drawings and terrain have long been clear, and there is no need to lead the party, and the information of the city of Geranza is also remembered in detail.
The red-brick and red-tiled hospital is conspicuous, at least more conspicuous than the bamboo-shed school a little farther away.
Dr. Rodman did not end up fleeing with the others to Tamsui or Keelung.
He was reluctant to give up this small hospital, as well as the kind and kind Mingren neighbors, as well as his fellow doctor, Dr. Huang Guanglin, and a wounded man with a leg injury. It was a Swiss mountain man, and God knew how he could get here, and when he came, he passed out in the street, motionless. Many people thought he was dead, and ran away with a cross.
Dr. Rodman knew him and treated him. The soldier occasionally worked as a tax collector in the market.
Dr. Rodman leaned over to look at him, who was now gray, the face of a dead man, and then called out to him and slapped him in the face. The man reacted, but did not wake up. It seems that he is about to receive God's call.
Just then, he saw Dr. Huang Guanglin.
Dr. Huang Guanglin couldn't sit still. All places are full of panic, especially in the sky, there is always something flying around here, and it is bad to see it. But in the end, I didn't see anyone hurt it. It's just that the chickens and ducks are so scared that they don't want to lay eggs. At the same time, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, but they often end up in Huang Guanglin's small medicine hall with the patient.
Huang Guanglin decided to take a walk around the street and observe what was going on.
When Dr. Rodman saw Dr. Huang Guanglin, he immediately shouted at him and asked him to come and have a look. Dr. Huang Guanglin didn't want to go over, because there were vague rumors that the disaster caused by the Hongmao people had nothing to do with the Ming people, but this was just a legend, and no one could confirm it.
Dr. Huang Guanglin was embarrassed for a while, but walked over. He looked at the soldier who was dying and recognized him, when Dr. Huang Guanglin was buying herbs in the market, he had collected taxes, although he was arrogant, at least he was fair, he did not collect taxes indiscriminately, and he did not beat people. Huang Guanglin gave him a pulse.
How could Dr. Rodman not understand that he could know all the diseases of the human body by touching his pulse? Is it really as Dr. Huang Guanglin said, the human body is a whole? If he didn't understand, he still decided to learn from Dr. Huang Guanglin and question it later.
Ever since Dr. Huang Guanglin came here, the number of people who came to see him has been decreasing, except for a few West Slavs who took care of the sugar fields, who regularly came to him to bleed and remove the impurities from their bodies.
Dr. Rodman felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't take any money from the sick because the city of Geranza paid him. However, Dr. Huang Guanglin charged a fee, but more and more people came to see him.
This further stimulated Dr. Rodman's interest in learning from Dr. Huang Guanglin.
"This person can be saved, but the evil poison invaded and broke the heart Sutra. Anyway. ”
The two men worked together to carry the strong man back to the hospital. Sure enough, in the process of lifting, the soldier unconsciously groaned.
After being carried to the hospital, Dr. Rodman took out a lancet and prepared to bleed him.
Doctor Huang Guanglin, who is usually gentle and elegant, got angry and said, "What does this person mean by his lack of yang energy, but he is bleeding?" ”
Dr. Huang Guanglin took out the waist bag that he had always carried on his body, took out a silver needle, and carefully twisted it into the acupuncture points of the soldier's body, and after a while, the soldier sighed and woke up.
Dr. Rodman took it again, without any bloodletting, just a light prick, which woke them up. I didn't wake up even after slapping him.
"The old man has been walking through the village and alleys for more than ten years, won't he save people?" Dr. Huang Guanglin said proudly.
The wounded man's wound was in the leg, which in the eyes of modern military doctors is a typical ricochet wound. A minor operation is all it takes to remove the bullet. A typical community hospital can do that.
As for taking a sip of spirits, biting a towel, taking a knife heated and sterilized on the fire, cutting the wound and taking out a bullet...... This is a scene that often appears in gunfight movies, and it will only appear in movies, we call it Western Fantasy. As for those martial arts masters with unique skills, who can force bullets or poison darts from their bodies with one breath, that is Dongfan.
Gu said that these two ways of writing are very popular in the online literature industry.
After the ricocheting missile enters the human body, due to the shearing effect of the shock wave and its own kinetic energy, a cavity larger than the volume of the warhead itself is often formed, which is called an instantaneous space-time cavity. Only its suture needs to have a certain jishu content.
Of course, the two famous doctors of the East and the West did not understand this, but the method of dealing with them was surprisingly the same: fire attack or oil attack!
Palm oil was burned quickly.
Dr. Rodman Liliang was bigger, he held the soldier down, and Dr. Huang Guanglin poured boiling oil into the wound. In the midst of the hoarse screams, the soldier fainted cleanly again.
The two nodded in satisfaction. If the soldier wakes up tomorrow, he will be able to live.
In Dr. Rodman's gratitude, Dr. Huang Guanglin left the hospital. The streets were quiet, and nothing had happened since the Dutch had left, so they sat home in peace.
It had been quiet for less than three days, and three strange cars suddenly came here, talking repeatedly in a loud voice, as if they were full of confidence and not tired at all.
The voice can be heard clearly, and the content can be understood.
The Dutch were driven away? The Dutchman's field belongs to theirs? All the property of the Dutch belongs to them?
These things are none of their business, just pay taxes or pay food for another family.
As for the explicit rental certificate, he didn't care either, because his family only relied on him to see a doctor and eat. So far, he's doing pretty well.
He was just a little worried about Dr. Rodman, he walked around the house a few times, but he still didn't get out, he leaned on the crack of the door, and saw three strange cars rushing towards the hospital in a menacing manner. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to go out.
Arriving at the hospital as the locals called, the three cars stopped. More than two dozen security team members got out of the car. After observing it, this hospital is only five houses, with a courtyard wall of about two and a half meters. The gates were hidden. The security team did not enter the gate directly, and one of the security team members deftly ran up, and with a force of both hands, he went up to the wall neatly. There was no one in the yard, and there was no ambush at the gate, so they were all gone, right? He made a safe gesture to the people below. Leaving two guards behind, the security guards rushed in. Disperse to several rooms to search.
Team leader Hao Gang led the brothers into the largest room, where he saw a Dutchman sitting at the edge of a hospital bed, wiping the face of an unconscious man lying on the bed with a cotton cloth. There was a strong smell of blood in the house, which was very choking.
One of the security guards said, "The information is wrong, right?" It's a fucking slaughterhouse, right? ”
No one spoke to him, and there wasn't a sick person lying there.
Team leader Hao Gang held his chest up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the young man, thinking, the kid is very calm!
His boots thumped and thumped on the floor.
When Team Leader Hao Gang first entered the door, Dr. Rodman was following the method taught to him by Dr. Huang Guanglin, constantly wiping the patient's forehead with wet wipes.
In addition to not having bloodletting in the past few days, the two of them had no way to cool down the patient after using all the exhaustive techniques. Dr. Huang Guanglin used all the antipyretic medicine Bupleurum chinensis, but it was useless.
Zuihou had no choice but to adopt a suggestion from Dr. Huang Guanglin Zuihou, and it really had some effect, but it was not big. Dr. Rodman thought about it, and if it didn't cool down tonight, he would bleed him.
He had already heard a strange sound coming from the entrance of the hospital, which was different from the sound of strange things flying in the sky these days.
He had taken advantage of the fact that when it flew low, he observed in detail that it must be a strange thing that could fly while a person was sitting, and it was speculated that they were human, and it could not be a devil, but they were dressed strangely.
He also wanted to run, but he couldn't let go of the patient. After hearing the strange sound at the door, I regretted it a little, but then I was firm again. There is no devil, everything is mutually reinforcing, as long as it is a human being, it will definitely not hurt the doctor!
He kept saying in his heart: "The Lord has made you courageous, you have made you love, the Lord is always with you, and let your inexplicable fear leave you......"
Hao Gang walked up to Dr. Rodman and said slowly, "Are you a doctor?" What is your name. ”
The Hokkien security guard translated for him.
Dr. Rodman was a little happier. His speculation was correct. He looked at the man who looked like an officer, and felt that his eyes were sharp, and his tall stature made him feel oppressive.
But they are not devils.
