In 1897, when relations between the Cape Colony and the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State were becoming increasingly strained and on the brink of war, Alfred Milner, Chairman of the British Inland Revenue Commission, was appointed to Southern Africa as Governor of the Cape Colony and Commissioner of South Africa.

Fifteen years have passed, Alfred Milner, who was born in 1854, is 57 years old, and in the past fifteen years in southern Africa, especially in the past three years as prime minister, Ade has worked hard and worked until midnight every day.

In fact, it is not a big problem, July is the coldest season in Pretoria, and the lowest temperature may also be below freezing, but because it is in the dry season, it almost never snows, and the weather is good these days, the temperature during the day is around 234 degrees, and the temperature at night is five or six degrees, but last night it suddenly cooled down, and Ade did not close the windows when he rested, and then he caught a little cold.

This kind of thing is normal for young people, but it can be fatal for a 57-year-old "old man", and Ade's personal doctor, Mitch Strong, also advised Ade to take a break, so Roque and Sidney Milner simply sent Ade to Ziwei Hospital, which was considered a vacation.

In the more than three years that Ade has been prime minister, the total time of rest does not exceed a week.

"It's good to take a break, I remember Locke used to say that better rest makes better work." Ade did not refuse Roque and Sidney Milner's arrangement, and Sidney Milner of Roque in this world is Ade's most trusted person.

"I didn't say that—" Roque was embarrassed, and when Roque said this, most of the time he was making excuses for being lazy.

"Who's that?" Ade is casual, and it feels really good to be relaxed.

"Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov-" Roque did not dare to say another name, for fear of being killed by thunder, this brother should be wandering somewhere in Europe now.

"Russians?" Ade frowned, not feeling good about the Russians.

"Yes, I've read one of his books, "Materialism and Empirical Criticism"—"Roque will pretend when he should be."

"Sounds profound—" Ade leaned comfortably back in his chair with his face forward, and Roque and Sidney Milner sat across from Ader, a wide armored command vehicle that would have no problem setting up a table for dinner.

The armored command vehicle is on its way to Ziwei Hospital, although there is also a hospital in Pretoria, but the best hospital in southern Africa is recognized as Ziwei Hospital, and Roque also wants to pull Ade out to relax, it is estimated that Ade has not seen with his own eyes how far southern Africa, which he has poured all his feelings into, has developed.

In fact, Ade has already felt that compared with the previous trip to Johannesburg can only take the train, the road is obviously more convenient and faster, the highway between Pretoria and Johannesburg is of high standard, two-way six lanes can be called a luxury in this era, the green belt in the middle of the road plays a good role in isolation, the driving car will not be affected by the opposite car, Roque did not arrange the road closure, more than a dozen armored command vehicles formed a convoy, and there are police cars in the front to open the road, there is no problem in safety.

"When I first arrived in Southern Africa, there was no railway between Pretoria and Cape Town, and Cecil Rhodes decided to invest in the railway between Pretoria and Cape Town, but only as far as Kimberley, and Paul Krueger was right when he feared that the railway would increase Cape influence on the Transvaal and Orange, and it was along the railway that the expeditionary force conquered the two Boer countries." Ade's knowledge of the history of southern Africa is at his fingertips, and it was the game between these big men that created what is now Southern Africa.

"What a coincidence, the railroad between Bechuana and Walvis Bay that we are building right now, the Germans think so too." Roque is worthy of being the successor of Cecil Rhodes, and the two have always been on the same 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 already old, and sooner or later we will withdraw from the front line, the future of southern Africa is for you young people, whether it is to lead the times, or become a stumbling block to the progress of the times, you must stay sober." Ade has high hopes for Roque and Sidney Milner, and Henry Owen Xiaosi has no future strictly speaking, they will only follow the crowd, and they make a lot of money with Roque, but they lack the vision to lead the times and ideals.

"We will—" Roque spared his words like gold at this time, and for the future of the Chinese in southern Africa, Roque will continue to forge ahead.

Sidney Milner doesn't need to say anything, although Ade is talking about "you", in fact, he is referring specifically to Roque, Sidney Milner knows the limits of his ability, and he is still very competent as a secretary, even if he is a political official, whether it is a local or a federal agency, Sidney Milner lacks experience.

The convoy sped all the way into Johannesburg without stopping, and went directly to Ziwei Hospital via the ring road.

Now Ziwei Town is already Ziwei City, Ziwei Hospital's original wooden room has also been replaced by a tall and exquisite office building, the only constant is that the environment is still beautiful, although July is not the season of purple flowers in full bloom, the air is still filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and the leisure and satisfaction on people's faces can not be pretended.

Ade came to see the doctor, Ziwei Hospital and Johannesburg Medical School must be the best of the best, and the director of Ziwei Hospital, Kay Mallory, and the director of the medical school, Colin Bellamy, have been notified and are waiting at the hospital.

After a set of examinations, there is no serious problem, but some elderly people should have all the problems, such as perennial desk work, cervical and lumbar frozen shoulder, blood pressure is also a little high, the muscle strain in the waist is serious, and the vision and digestion are not very good.

It's really time to take a break.

"I will tell the prime minister the results in a few days, and then use conservative treatments, such as cervical and lumbar frozen shoulder, and the massage techniques of traditional Chinese medicine should be useful." Roque was rebellious, and his face was not red when he deceived his superiors and subordinates.

Kay Mallory and Colin Bellamy exchanged a look of horror, and Colin Bellamy had Vizet called over.

For the five elements of yin and yang in Chinese medicine, not to mention white people, many Chinese people don't understand, for many white people, Chinese medicine is similar to a myth, so Su Xian's name became Wei Zet.

What really changed Kai Mallory and Colin Bellamy's view of Chinese medicine is the effect of Chinese medicine, many diseases that make Western medicine helpless in this era, such as lumbar muscle strain, limited by the technical level at this time, most doctors do not think that this is a disease at all, only think that this 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 lineage, he is still relatively proficient in massage techniques, and after alleviating 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.

After Luo Ke learned about it, he knew that Su Xian was not willing to be responsible for the treatment of an official of Ade's level.

"Don't worry, even if you can't be cured, I won't cut off your head-" Luo Ke couldn't cry and laugh, Southern Africa is not a Qing country, and Ade is not tyrannical to this extent, but Luo Ke's next words made Su Xian even more worried: "Even if you are cured well, don't get better so quickly, take your time, at least one or two courses of treatment-"

One course of treatment is almost seven days, and two courses of treatment are half a month, and it is estimated that Ade will not be able to stay for so long.

"That depends on the situation." Su Xian was very nervous, Ade's level was about the same as the emperor in the Qing Kingdom, at least he was also a regent supervising the country, it was not a joke to accompany the monarch like a tiger, Bian Que Hua Tuo was conspired by his peers, and the other was beheaded by Cao Cao, after Zhu Yuanzhang died, Huizong Zhu Yunwen asked most of the doctors in the Tai Hospital, leaving only one Dai Yuanli who Zhu Yuanzhang said when he was dying.

Dai Yuanli was later named the envoy of the Tai Hospital, which Zhu Yunwen kept for his own treatment.

Therefore, it is really not a good thing to be a doctor, and you will have to worry about your life at every turn.

Of course, seeing the emperor also depends on the specific situation, and even if the lumbar muscle strain is not cured, he will not die, so Su Xian will face it calmly when he understands this truth.

As a result, Ade's attitude towards Su Xian is very good, a little old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he is not the legendary height of one foot and eight feet in waistline, let him open his mouth when he opens his mouth, and let him lie down and be obedient.

"How many times can you be cured by pressing this one?" Sidney Milner was half-convinced, half convinced because it was recommended by Roque, and suspected all because of Su Xian's treatment.

If you don't take medicine or injections, just press a few times with your hands, how much should you charge if you are looking for a patient?

If you collect more, the rich don't care, most ordinary people feel cheated, and if you collect less, you're sorry for decades of experience, so it's really difficult to promote traditional Chinese medicine, and the top resources only belong to a few people.

"Would you like to try it too?" Roque has bad intentions, Sidney Milner also often sits in the office, and there are almost certainly similar conditions like cervical and lumbar frozen shoulder, so there is no need to look for a doctor.

"I'm not sick!" Sidney Milner decisive.

"The doctor hasn't checked yet, and you're so sure that it's a disease in itself." Roque was beaten to death with a stick, mentally ill!

"Sidney, you really want to give it a try, I feel much better-" Su Xian moved quickly, and in just a while, the treatment had been over, and Ade looked surprised when he got up, and his psoas muscles began to twist, similar to the uncle who danced square dance every night in another time and space.

Before Roark could laugh, Ade continued to name: "Locke, you have to give it a try too, it's really amazing-"

Heaven is a good reincarnation.
