Several people who came to pick on the tricks had no intention of making trouble, so it would be easier to do next...
Because all the serfs outside the city were kidnapped by the "rebels", there was no possibility of investigation. Therefore, the main targets of the investigation team were the seven or eight hundred indigenous people living in the city.
In Guantanamo, the fake "Havana City", in addition to the 500 defenders and soldiers led by Tara, there were also seven or eight hundred indigenous people living. They mainly provided services to Tara and the defenders and belonged to the main labor force in the city. After all, Tara and his army could not engage in productive labor.
The main goal of the investigation team 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 inspection has been made here, even if it is not prepared, there will be no abuse of indigenous people in the real Havana City.
The military discipline of the Beihai Kingdom is very strict, and there will be no situation where soldiers oppress the people. Even indigenous people, soldiers will not abuse innocently unless the indigenous people violate the law or are disobeyed by the colonial authorities of the Beihai Kingdom.
In the city, Bishop Rugani personally led a group of people to visit dozens of families in the city by surprise. Most of them broke in during the meal, mainly to see what these indigenous people were eating.
As a result, they were surprised to find that the indigenous people here eat better than the poor in Europe...
Because rice is grown locally, the indigenous people mainly eat rice. Then, they pair it with simple vegetables. Because Cuba is located in the tropical region, there is no shortage of vegetables all year round. Therefore, the indigenous families in the city can eat a bowl of white rice when eating. 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 is pure food without mixing wood chips and soil!
This alone shocked the officials of the investigation team who knew the knowledge. Baron Mosen asked Tara in confusion:
"You guys have specially eaten white rice for the natives to deal with the inspection?"
It is normal for him to guess like this, because Westerners are familiar with the matter of checking, and they will have some tricks.
But Tara said confidently:
"Of course it's not to deal with the inspection. Cuba is located in the tropical region and rice can be ripe twice a year. Therefore, there is no shortage of rice. Unfortunately, the rebellion problem of local indigenous people is more difficult. At the same time, the problem of syphilis is also very troublesome. Moreover, in the tropical jungle, there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, which are very dangerous..." After saying that, Tara showed a painful expression.
In fact, Tara still lied. The rice seeds that were ripe a year were from India. The Chameng rice introduced from the Ming Dynasty (introduced during the Song Dynasty) could reach the level of three ripe a year. However, Tara could not say it. Otherwise, speaking it would attract jealousy and covetousness.
Bishop Rugani is his own person, so he cooperated and said:
"In other words, you are developing in Cuba, and dangers and benefits coexist?" Cultural people are cultural people, and they summarized that Bitara is a semi-illiterate person.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means! It's Bishop that you have a high level of education, my level is low, and the summary is not in place. Well, in general, it means that danger and benefits coexist!" Tara nodded repeatedly.
"What's the situation in other places except Cuba?" Baron Mosen interjected.
"Other place?" Tara looked at Baron Mosen and thought for a while:
"Cuba Island is pretty good, and some places are called terrifying. On the land in the south, that is, the Amazon jungle area, that is, that is, that is, that is, that is, that is, the people who have taken risks there have published books and the descriptions are roughly the same. In addition, there is a place called Panama in the southwest of us, that is called danger. There are a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous mosquitoes in the jungle. As long as you are bitten, you are prone to malaria..."
"Malaria?" The members of the investigation team all took a breath. In this era, malaria is almost a terminal illness that must be mortal, very terrifying and scary.
"That's right, it's malaria. The most terrifying thing in the tropical rainforest is not the beasts, but the disease. On the land in Panama, there are many poisonous mosquitoes and insects. As long as you get bitten, the mild ones will be red, swollen and itchy. The severe ones will directly lead to malaria, and yellow fever..."
"Wait, what is yellow fever?" Baron Mosen interjected. Europeans had not been exposed to yellow fever at this time, so they naturally didn't know what it was. Of course, the Portuguese were the exception. After all, the Portuguese had already colonized West Africa. Yellow fever is a common disease in tropical areas of West Africa and America.
"It is a terrible disease of having a high fever after being bitten by poisonous insects and mosquitoes. At the same time, it has a terrible disease of yeast on its body, and the mortality rate is very high! It looks similar to malaria..." Tara explained.
In fact, yellow fever is indeed a very terrible disease. Because there is no treatment for the Beihai Kingdom at present. However, malaria, with artemisinin, is no longer a terrible disease. However, Tara will definitely not tell this secret. After all, malaria is the main disease that scares away other countries' colonial tropical areas. If the treatment method is announced, it will attract colonial competitors.
"It's similar to malaria..." Others also took a breath, because, similar to malaria, it was basically equivalent to a terminal illness in this era.
Speaking of this, Tara comforted everyone with a silly smile:
"Don't worry, yellow fever is rare on Cuba Island. At most, people suffer from malaria from time to time. It's no big deal..."
It would be fine if he didn't say it. After saying that, the people in the investigation team, including Bishop Rugani and others from the Holy See, were cursing in their hearts - Damn, "It's no big deal"? Malaria can also die, okay? Thinking of this, the people in the investigation team felt insecure...
But they didn't know that Tara really thought malaria was no big deal. Because the North Sea has artemisinin, malaria is a common minor disease...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! I heard that the tropical areas are so dangerous, and the members of the investigation team are a little stunned. They don’t want to die in a foreign land because of mosquito bites. What’s more, Baron Mosen and others were still struggling and tired. Therefore, the investigation progress has accelerated...
A few days later, Bishop Rugani began to write a report—
"After many days of detailed investigation, we found that there was no enslavement or abuse of the indigenous peoples in the North Sea Kingdom's Cuba Island Colony and Hispaniola Island Colony.
The lives of local indigenous people are even better than those of the poor in Europe. Because, according to the colonial governor Tara, Cuba Island is located in the tropical region, and rice can be ripened twice a year. Therefore, local indigenous people can eat enough and eat a bowl of rice for every meal. As for vegetables, there is no shortage of tropical regions for a year...
But the local natives are not very peaceful and prone to rebellion. In addition, there are also many poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous insects in tropical forests. In some places, after being bitten by mosquitoes, they are prone to terminal illnesses such as malaria and yellow fever...
As for the missionary matter, the investigation team investigated it, and it was indeed true. However, due to the problem of language barriers, only a small number of young and intelligent indigenous people can learn the language of Europeans and recite the Bible.
Governor Tara told us that they intend to cultivate a group of smart young natives to become faithful Christians first. Then, let those Christians further spread the glory of the Lord to other natives. Then, strive to develop all natives into Christians in decades…”
...
"To sum up, the Beihai Kingdom's pioneering and colonial behavior on the wild continent was quite civilized and indeed spread the glory of the Lord. Therefore, the investigation team unanimously agreed that the Beihai Kingdom did not abuse the indigenous people, and was indeed committed to spreading the glory of the Lord. Previous rumors about the abuse of the indigenous people in the Beihai Kingdom were purely slander and rumor..."
