Chapter 778

In 1897, the relationship between the Cape Colony, the Republic of Transvaal and the Orange Free State became more and more tense, and they were already on the brink of war. Alfred Milner, the chairman of the British Local Taxation Committee, was ordered to come to southern Africa Served as Governor of the Cape Colony and Commissioner for South Africa.

Fifteen years have passed in a flash, and Alfred Milner, who was born in 15, is already 1854 years old. In the past 57 years in southern Africa, especially in the past three years as prime minister, Adelaide has devoted himself to his work and has to work every day After midnight, Adelaide contributed a lot to the development of southern Africa to today's level.

In fact, it is not a big problem. July is the coldest season in Pretoria, and the lowest temperature may be below zero, but because it is in the dry season, it almost never snows. The weather is good these days, and the temperature during the day is in the It was around 23 degrees, and the temperature at night was five or six degrees, but the temperature suddenly dropped last night. Ade did not close the window when he was resting, and then he caught a cold.

This kind of thing is normal for young people, but it may be fatal for a 57-year-old "old man". Adelaide's personal doctor Mitch Strong also advised Adelaide to take a rest, so Rock and West Deni Milner simply sent Ade to the Bigwig Hospital, treating it as a vacation.

During the more than three years when Adelaide was prime minister, the total rest time did not exceed one week.

"It's good to take a break. I remember Locke, you often said that better rest can work better." Ade did not refuse the arrangement of Rock and Sidney Milner, the Sidney of Rock in this world Ni Milner is the most trusted person of Adelaide.

"I didn't say it—" Rock was ashamed. When Rock said this, he was mostly making excuses for being lazy.

"Who is that?" Ade was casual, and it felt really good to be relaxed.

"Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov——" Rock didn't dare to say another name for fear of being struck to death by lightning. This brother should be wandering somewhere in Europe right now.

"Russians?" Ade frowned, feeling bad for Russians.

"Yes, I've read one of his books, "Materialism and Empirio-Criticism"—" Rock would pretend when he should.

"Sounds very profound——" Ade leaned back on the back of the chair comfortably, facing forward, and Rock and Sidney Milner sat opposite Ade. This kind of large armored command vehicle is good. There is no problem with eating at the table.

The armored command vehicle is on its way to Bigwig Hospital. Although there is a hospital in Pretoria, Bigwig Hospital is recognized as the best hospital in southern Africa. Rock also wants to let Adah come out to relax. It is estimated that Add has not seen it himself. See how far southern Africa, to which he poured all his affections, has developed.

In fact, Ade has already felt that compared with the previous journey to Johannesburg, which could only be taken by train, the road is obviously more convenient and quicker. The road standard between Pretoria and Johannesburg is very high, and the two-way six-lane road is a luxury in this era. The green belt in the middle plays a good role in isolation, and the driving cars will not be affected by the cars on the other side. Rock has not arranged to block the road. More than a dozen armored command vehicles form a convoy, and there are police cars in the front to clear the way. There is no problem in terms of safety. .

"When I first arrived in Southern Africa, there was no railway between Pretoria and Cape Town. It was Cecil Rhodes who decided to invest in the railway between Pretoria and Cape Town, but only It was repaired to Kimberley. At that time, Paul Kruger worried that the railway would increase the influence of the Cape on the Transvaal and Orange. He was right. Later, the expeditionary force was established by conquering these two Boers along the railway. country.” Ade has all kinds of history in southern Africa at his fingertips, and it is the game between these big men that created the current southern Africa.

"What a coincidence, we are building the railway between Bechuanaland and Walvis Bay, and the Germans think so too." Rock deserves to be the successor of Cecil Rhodes, and the two have always been thinking in the same way. channel.

"No one can stop the development of society. The Boers used to be like this, and now the Germans are like this. Our generation is getting old, and we will withdraw from the front line sooner or later. In the future, southern Africa belongs to your young people. Is it leading the times or is it Becoming a stumbling block to the advancement of the times, you must stay sober." Adler has high hopes for Rock and Sidney Milner, Henry Owen Stoudemire, strictly speaking, they have no future, they can only follow what others say, follow Rock and money is I have earned a lot, but I lack the vision and ideals to lead the times.

"We will—" Roque was stinging words like gold at this time. For the future of the Chinese in southern Africa, Roque will continue to forge ahead.

Sidney Milner does not need to express his opinion. Although Ade said "you", he was actually referring to Rock. Sidney Milner knows the limit of his ability, and he is still very competent as a secretary. Forget it, Sidney Milner is inexperienced in both local and federal agencies.

The convoy drove all the way, entered Johannesburg without stopping, and went directly to the Bigwi hospital through the ring road.

Now Bignonia Town is Bigglow City, and the old wooden houses of Biggwei Hospital have been replaced by tall and beautiful office buildings. The only thing that remains the same is that the environment is still beautiful. There is still a faint green fragrance of grass and trees, and the leisure and satisfaction on people's faces cannot be pretended.

Ade came to see a doctor. Bigwig Hospital and Johannesburg Medical School must be the best out of the best. Kai Mallory, the dean of Bigwig Hospital, and Colin Bellamy, the dean of the medical school, have been notified and are waiting at the hospital .

After a set of examinations, there is no serious problem, but some elderly people have all the problems that they should have, such as desk work all the year round, cervical spine, lumbar spine, and shoulder pain, blood pressure is also a bit high, waist muscle strain is serious, vision and Digestion is also not very good.

It is indeed time to take a break.

"I'll tell the Prime Minister the result in a few days, and then use conservative treatment. For diseases like cervical spine, lumbar spine, and scapulohumeral periarthritis, traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques should be useful."

Kay Mallory and Colin Bellamy exchanged horrified glances, and Colin Bellamy had Weizet called over.

Weizet is Su Xian. Traditional Chinese medicine is similar to witchcraft in the eyes of many Westerners. Many Chinese people do not understand the yin, yang and five elements of Chinese medicine, let alone white people. For many white people, Chinese medicine is similar to mythology, so Su Xian's name became Wei Zeite.

What really changed Kay Mallory and Colin Bellamy's view of Chinese medicine was the effect of Chinese medicine. Many diseases that Western medicine is helpless in this era, such as lumbar muscle strain, are limited by the current technical level, and most doctors do not know how to treat it. Think it is a disease, only think it is the natural aging of the human body with age, and Chinese medicine has a treatment plan for lumbar muscle strain hundreds of years ago.

Su Xian's family has a long history, and he is relatively proficient in massage techniques. After relieving the illness of several professors in the medical school, Su Xian's medical skills were immediately accepted by everyone.

After learning of Ade's condition, Su Xian's expression was a little uneasy.

Only after Rock learned about it did he know that Su Xian was not willing to be in charge of treatment for an official of Ade's level.

"Don't worry, I won't cut off your head even if it can't be cured—" Rock can't laugh or cry, Southern Africa is not the Qing Dynasty, and Ade is not so tyrannical, but what Rock said next made Su Xian even more worried: "Even if you get cured well, don't get better so fast, take your time, at least one or two courses of treatment—"

One course of treatment is about seven days, and two courses of treatment are half a month. It is estimated that Ade cannot stay for such a long time.

"It depends on the specific situation." Su Xian was very nervous. Ade's rank was about the same as that of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. At the very least, he was also a regent and supervised the country. One of them was beheaded by Cao Cao. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Huizong Zhu Yunwen questioned most of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital, leaving only one Dai Yuanli whom Zhu Yuanzhang asked to invite when he was dying.

Dai Yuanli was later named an envoy of the Imperial Hospital, which Zhu Yunqi kept for him to see a doctor.

Therefore, being an imperial physician is really not a wonderful thing, and life is in danger at every turn.

Of course, seeing a doctor for the emperor depends on the specific situation. Even if the lumbar muscle strain is not cured, it will not die, so Su Xian figured out this truth and faced it calmly.

As a result, Ade's attitude towards Su Xian was very good. He was a kind-hearted little old man. He was not the legendary tall one foot and eight feet waist circumference.

"A few presses like this can cure the disease?" Sidney Milner was dubious, half of it was because it was recommended by Rock, and the suspicion was all because of Su Xian's treatment method.

If you don’t take medicine or get an injection, you can just press a few times with your hands. How much should you charge if you want to find a patient?

If you charge too much, the rich don’t care. Most ordinary people feel cheated. If you charge too little, you’ll be sorry for decades of experience. Therefore, Chinese medicine is really difficult to promote, and top-level resources only belong to a few people.

"Would you like to try it too?" Rock had malicious intentions. Sidney Milner also often sat in the office, and almost certainly had a disease similar to cervical lumbar spondylitis, so there was no need to consult a doctor.

"I'm not sick!" Sidney Milner said decisively.

"You're so sure that the doctor hasn't examined it yet. This is a disease in itself." Rock beat him to death with a stick, he was mentally ill!

"Sidney, you really have to give it a try, I feel better—" Su Xian moved quickly, and the treatment was over in just a short while. When Ade got up, he looked surprised, and began to twist his akimbo muscles , similar to the uncle who dances square dance every night in another time and space.

Before Rock laughed, Ade continued to roll the roll: "Lock, you have to try it too, it's really amazing——"

The way of heaven is reincarnation.
