In Xu Jin's impression, most Japanese women are petite, with single eyelids and a wide and flat facial contour, which can be easily distinguished if you stand with a group of Chinese women. At this time, Xu Jin could tell at a glance that two of the women in front of him were Japanese women.

There were thirty-six women in this group, ranging in age from fifteen to thirty, all of whom had been taken captive to the island by pirates to vent their animal desires, and several of them were still with big bellies, and they all looked at Xu Jin with frightened expressions at this time, obviously knowing that the time had come to decide their fate, and the young and handsome official in front of him would be the decider.

Xu Jin sighed secretly, in the feudal society where Cheng Zhu Lixue is popular, starvation is a small loss or a big one, even if the poor women in front of him can return to their hometowns, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to be tolerated by their relatives and neighbors. Originally, it was not their fault, but they had to bear the stain of a lifetime and steal their lives, especially those who were made belly by pirates, and their fate is estimated to be even more tragic.

Xu Jin tried his best to make himself look pleasant, and said slowly: "This official is sent by order to send Xu Jin, and now that the pirates on Dongsha Island have been exterminated by this official, from now on, you are free." If you want to return to your hometown, the official will send someone to send you back to your hometown and give you twenty taels of silver for living expenses. ”

Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, if one person uses it, saving a little can support it for nearly ten years, so all the women are slightly commotion, and their eyes will be suspicious.

"My lord, such as ...... What if you don't want to return to citizenship? A woman with a big belly asked boldly.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "If you don't want to go back to your hometown, you will be given a settlement fee of thirty taels of silver, and if you are pregnant, you will add an extra five taels of silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, the women immediately boiled, and everyone showed ecstasy, of course, they were still skeptical, after all, the treatment was really good.

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered someone to register these women, but only about 10% of them were willing to return to their hometowns, and these women all had one thing in common, that is, they still had husbands and children at home.

As a result of the final registration, five persons wished to return to their places of origin and 25 persons did not wish to return to their places of origin. So, Xu Jin ordered people to give 20 taels of silver living expenses to women who were willing to return to their hometowns, 30 taels of silver to settle in if they did not return to their hometowns, and 5 taels to pregnant women. When these women saw that they could really get the silver, they were moved to cry one by one, and they knelt down on the top and kowtowed to Xu Jin to thank them.

At this time, there were still six women standing in place at a loss, two of these six women were from the U country, and the other four were women from the Nanyang island country, and these six foreign women could only speak a few simple words of Daming Chinese.

Looking at the six foreign women with panicked expressions in front of him, Xu Jin didn't know how to arrange it for a while, so he had to let people take them down and settle them temporarily, and then make plans when he returned to the mainland.

After the placement of the women, the next step was to settle the children, and there were nearly 30 underage children on this Dongsha Island, ranging in age from two to thirteen. A considerable number of these young children were born to pirates who had molested women, and some were "heirs" of pirates who had been taken captive.

These minors are easier to place, and those who remember where they live will be sent back to their hometowns, and if they are too young to remember, or young children born on Dongsha Island, Xu Jin plans to send them all to the health hall of Daming Temple.

After Xu Jin settled the women and children on the island, Zhu Kun was still taking people to count the goods in the cave, the variety and quantity were really a bit much, and it was estimated that it would be dark after the inventory, so he could only load the ship tomorrow and transport it back to the mainland.

Next, Xu Jin went to see the pirate leader Chen Sipan, who was first shot in the thigh, and then capsized and fell into the water, and his head was smashed out of the boat with a big hole, which looked miserable, and he was still in a severe coma.

"Doctor Ma, how likely is this person to survive?" Xu Jin looked at Dr. Ma who was digging up meat for Chen Sipan with blazing eyes.

Dr. Ma is not a military doctor in the 500 battalions, but a doctor who Zhu Kun found in Dongtai County, and it is said that his medical skills are quite famous in Dongtai County.

Xu Jin didn't know whether this Ma Dafu's medical skills were good or not, anyway, he was quite skilled in digging meat and taking bullets, but he was not very hygienic, and the knives and tweezers had not been sterilized at high temperatures, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the risk of wound infection.

At this time, Dr. Ma finally took out a deformed buckshot from the bloody wound and threw it on the basin next to him, and then washed the blood on his hands with the basin, and then replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, this person is seriously injured, if he can survive three days without fever, it is estimated that he will survive, but it may be very small." ”

Xu Jin frowned, if he could save Chen Sipan, he would undoubtedly save a lot of effort, and he could directly ask where the smuggled goods came from, but this guy was indeed seriously injured, and he didn't even struggle when he dug up meat and took bullets like this, so he didn't even struggle, which showed that he was extremely weak.

"Wait!" Xu Jin saw that Doctor Ma was going to sprinkle medicine on the wound directly, and then bandage it, so he hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Doctor Ma looked at Xu Jin in amazement and said, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

If Dr. Ma was a military doctor, Xu Jin promised to kick the goods away at this time, but for the sake of being a folk doctor, he still forgot it, and said lightly: "Clean the wound with warm water first, suture it and then use medicine, do you understand the suturing?" ”

It is said that Xu Jin's "invented" wound suture method has now been widely used in the Ming Army, and the modern medical knowledge booklet he wrote has also been promoted in the Tai Hospital by the hands of Li Shizhen and his son, and terms such as sterilization, disinfection, and inflammation have also begun to circulate in the medical community.

Of course, in ancient times, when information transmission was extremely lagging behind, folk doctors like Ma Dafu obviously did not have the channels to come into contact with these "trends" in the medical field.

So, under the guidance of Xu Jin, Dr. Ma cleaned and disinfected Chen Sipan's wound, and used needles and threads to suture the wound.

Doctor Ma stretched out two fingers and put them on Chen Sipan's wrist veins, and found that the latter's pulse gradually became stronger, and he couldn't help but say with a complicated expression: "My lord, this person is estimated to have come back to life." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Take good care of it, if this person can wake up, your reward is indispensable, by the way, remember to gently wipe the wound several times with the boiling water of Cangzi when changing the dressing, which can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation." ”

Doctor Ma laughed dryly and complimented twice: "The lord is really knowledgeable, and the contemptible person can save it." ”

Xu Jin nodded, and turned around with the guards, and at this time the smoke rose from the island, and the brothers of the five hundred battalions began to bury the pot to make dinner, and those women actually took the initiative to run over to help, and bursts of cheerful laughter came with the sea breeze.

Xu Jin asked a little puzzled, "Zhao Datou, why do you say these women are so happy?" ”

Zhao Datou grinned and said: "If you have money in your hand, don't panic, and your life will be settled in the future, how can you not be happy." Those who return to their hometowns go back with twenty taels of silver, and the men in the family should not be good for the sake of the money. Those who don't go back to their hometowns are even better, find a state and county that no one knows to settle down as a little rich woman, and maybe you can even catch a door-to-door husband. So, these women are so fucking lucky to meet the bodhisattva-hearted adults. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, twenty or thirty taels of silver is indeed a huge amount of money for ordinary people to live and work in peace and contentment.
