Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 259

The question of population ratio is very strange. The saying that quantitative change causes qualitative change is as effective as population. Why did the Transvaal Republic target the British in the first place? The population of the British population is increasing rapidly, and the population growth rate of the Boers cannot keep up with the British because they have no source of population. Therefore, the Transvaal Republic restricts the British from a policy, which eventually triggers the second Boer War.

The current Transvaal also has this trend. The population of Chinese descent is also increasing rapidly, much faster than Adelaide's expectation. Rock doesn't know if Adelaide has noticed this problem. If Adelaide notices it, he should Rock will not be so crazy to send people to Johannesburg.

What Rock can do now is try to make the Chinese look harmless to humans and animals, so that even if other people notice the increasing trend of Chinese in Johannesburg, they will not oppose this growth too strongly.

So even if you get people to the Transvaal, you don't put them in Pretoria, but send them to a farm outside Johannesburg, or to the Crocodile Reservoir far away from Johannesburg, to delay other people's attention as much as possible time.

To be honest, Roque doesn't know how long it can be delayed. Of course, Roque hopes that the later the better.

"My mother built an ancestral hall at home, and invited all the tablets of my ancestors to Johannesburg. My father and I went to the ancestral hall every day to plead guilty. Give it to the villagers of the same clan, please don’t forget to worship their ancestors during the New Year’s festival, in fact, even if you don’t give them, the incense in the ancestral grave will not be broken, after all, they are their ancestors——” Tang En’s words made Roque feel very relieved, Well, there is no such thing as a "living temple" in Johannesburg.

The Shengci originated in the Western Han Dynasty, and was destroyed by Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of Rock's helping the Chinese is definitely not to create a shrine, but to expand the living space for the Chinese at a large scale, or for himself at a small scale. After all, Johannesburg needs a certain base of Chinese in order to guarantee Rock's interests.

As for whether the increase in the number of Chinese will cause a qualitative change, that is a matter for the future, and Rock is not considering this issue now.

"The real headache for my father and mother is the weather. In our hometown, it snows all over the sky in winter. There are not many snowfalls in Johannesburg throughout the year. My father said that it is God forcing us to work. We are not free all year round. In fact, That’s right, the more you do, the more you get—” Tang En’s words almost made Rock laugh out loud, Johannesburg has a savannah climate, not to mention that it doesn’t snow a few times throughout the year, it’s rare to see snow every ten or eight years, the Chinese talk about the weather None of my experience is useful in Johannesburg, one in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere, strictly speaking it is the opposite.

In 2012, Rock saw reports of snow in Johannesburg. The reason why it was so sensational was because the last time it snowed in Johannesburg was in 2007, and the last time was in 1981.

As a result, this actually became evidence of global warming, because the frequency of snowfall in Johannesburg has been shortened from 26 years to 5 years.

"There has to be a limit to that. Your family has more than 2000 acres of farms. Working all year round can exhaust people to death. It's almost enough. You should hire people, you should take a rest, there is endless work." Rock When I said this, I really felt sorry for the Chinese. According to Rock's understanding of the Chinese, if it is not mandatory, there will be Chinese who are busy all year round and don't rest for a day.

The Chinese people's love for the land is ultimately because there are too many people and too little land. There are 5000 million Chinese, guarding 18 billion mu of arable land, how many people are there on average?

No, there must be no 18 billion mu at this time, at least the Great Northern Wilderness has not been developed, and the land in the northwest cannot be counted. In addition to the serious land annexation, most Chinese will not be able to get a mu of their own in their entire lives. Therefore, the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty were really pitiful. Even the landlords in the Qing Dynasty did not live as well as the farmers in Johannesburg.

At least, the farmers in Johannesburg did not have a lot of exorbitant taxes. Article [-] of the "Peace Agreement" stipulated that any taxes collected to pay for the war would not be imposed on the two newly conquered areas.

This provision also applies to Johannesburg.

"I can't rest. My father wished he could live in a stable. He would plow the fields at dawn. He was so tired that his hands were covered with blood blisters and he couldn't bear to rest. My mother drove everyone out to work and had sex with her two sister-in-laws." Meal for more than 100 people, my grandma is 60 years old now, she can’t do physical work, so she moves a bench to pull weeds in the vegetable field, and it takes a day to pull weeds. In my grandma's words, in my hometown, the whole family only had two acres of vegetable land, and they didn't have to work if they wanted to—" Tang En's eyes turned red unconsciously. It hurts them all.

It is indeed very hard work, but it is precisely because of this hard work that the Chinese can gain a foothold in Johannesburg, and they can rely on themselves to build their own farms when the Boers are waiting for food. Every time the city government meets, Minister of the Interior Blake Nelson would lament the diligence of the Chinese. Ade may not know how many Chinese there are in Transvaal, but officials in Johannesburg must know.

So why didn't the officials in Johannesburg report to Ader?

Groups like the Chinese, for officials, no matter what country they are, they will not hate the Chinese. Those who really hate the Chinese are groups with similar social status to the Chinese. Because of the existence of the Chinese, they will form the most direct competition with them. If If you can't compete, then there's a reason to hate it.

In Johannesburg, the Boers are the ones who hate the Chinese the most, because they will feel ashamed in front of the hardworking Chinese.

The reality is very simple, if there are no Chinese in Johannesburg, then Johannesburg will have to rely on the Boers to develop the farms around Johannesburg, so that the Boers can make more demands and get more benefits.

Because of the existence of the Chinese, the farms that originally belonged to the Boers are gone, and the opportunities that originally belonged to the Boers are also gone. The more diligent the Chinese, the more it contrasts the laziness of the Boers. The depression of the Boer farm, so the Boers can like the Chinese only to see the devil.

"Buy a few more horses——" What else could Roque say, he could only be proud of being part of this group.

"I have bought a lot. Now my family has more than ten horses, more than 20 cows, more than 400 sheep, more than a dozen pigs and countless chickens. I can collect two to three hundred eggs every day. My mother used to not I am willing to eat eggs and want to sell them for money. As a result, there are more and more eggs. Before the association was established, I couldn’t sell them or finish them. The children in the family ate eggs until they vomited, and they were beaten even if they vomited. The elders were the worst. The most important thing is to waste food, and if you dare to waste food, you will definitely be beaten-now my father doesn’t plow the land anymore, and he can’t finish it. My father will lead his brothers to plant trees at home. According to my father’s idea, first surround the farm It will probably take several years to plant a circle." Tang En almost burst into tears with laughter, compared with the days before, life now is really a paradise.

2000 acres is almost eight square kilometers. Even if it is a square piece of land, the circumference is 12 kilometers. If one tree is planted per meter, that is 1 trees.

What's more, according to the habits of the Chinese, it is probably impossible to plant one tree per meter. It is only interesting to plant a dozen or twenty trees horizontally.

Don't forget it, Tang En's father's idea may not be completed within three to five years, even if he planted a hundred trees a day——

If there are 20 trees a day, a dozen or [-] trees can be completed in three to five years!

What's it like to have 10,000+ trees in your home?

You can get rich just by selling trees!

Rock no longer has to worry about whether the Chinese can stand up. It would be really unreasonable if they can't make a fortune.

Phyllis, who was dressed in riding attire, surprised Rock again.

In the past, Phyllis felt lively and cute to Rock, but now she is heroic. In this era, there are not many women who can feel like this to Rock.

"Let's go, where are we going?" Phyllis was in high spirits, as long as she was with Rock, she didn't care about the destination at all.

"Where do you want to go?" Rock asked Phyllis for advice, as long as he was with Phyllis, Rock didn't care about the destination.

"Shall we go hunting?" Phyllis' hobbies are definitely different from ordinary girls, and it was only then that Rock noticed that Phyllis had a shotgun beside her saddle.

"Okay!" Rock didn't bring a shotgun, but that doesn't matter. Rock and Dunn both carried Lee Enfield, which is the standard equipment of the Johannesburg Police Station. All policemen must carry a pistol with them when they go out. Lee Enfield, Lee Enfield is better than a shotgun.

It turned out that it was hunting, and it was more than ten kilometers away from Ziwei Town, but they didn't find a single prey.

Instead, I met a group of gold mine security guards returning from a patrol. I don't know how far they ran. Several horses carried eland.

Rock remembered that Phyllis had said that the tongue of the eland was the tastiest.

So all the eland tongues became Felice's "trophies". After knowing that Felice likes to eat eland tongues, the captain of the patrol said on the spot that the eland tongue patrol team would cover all the eland tongues in the future.

After all, the children of many members of the patrol went to Bigwig School.

Only the eland's tongue was not enough. Tang En asked the patrol team for another eland, and then Rock and the others began to have a picnic.

In fact, it is barbecue. When he left Bigwig Town, Zach brought enough cooking utensils and seasonings. During this time, Zach asked Ma Wen for cooking skills every day. Now the cooking skills are also very good, and the barbecue is almost out of blue. Yu Lan, working with Phyllis's two maids, Roque and Phyllis are very satisfied.

"Barbecue is still delicious. Principal Sophia is good at everything, but the management is too strict. Dennis is very worried every day. Many dishes he cooks are dark dishes in the eyes of Principal Sophia. You can't eat this, and you can't eat that. If Let Principal Sophia decide on the menu, it is estimated that the school is full of salads and steaks every day, and Dennis is so angry that he wants to resign—" Phyllis and Rock are together, and the topic cannot be separated from the girls' school.

Dennis is Chinese, a junior of Marvin, who just came to Johannesburg last year.

Dennis's surname is not Deng. The reason for this name is that in Greek, "Dennis" is the god of wine, so Dennis will use this name.

Like many Chinese in Johannesburg, Marvin and his two apprentices both own farms near Johannesburg. They also opened an "urban garden restaurant" in Johannesburg, which not only provides Western dishes, but also traditional oriental dishes.

After the restaurant opened, the business was very good, and it became the best restaurant in Johannesburg in a short period of time. Now "City Garden Restaurant" is the designated restaurant of the Johannesburg City Government and municipal units. Therefore, Marvin has become a leader in the catering industry in Johannesburg .

As early as in Cape Town, Ma Wen contacted his brothers who were still in Qing Dynasty, so since last year, more and more outstanding chefs from Qing Dynasty came to Johannesburg to carry forward the traditional Chinese cuisine in Johannesburg.

It was against this backdrop that Dennis came to Johannesburg.

"Strict management is a good thing. The reason why many people achieve nothing is because of lack of education and ignorance of rules. In this era, sometimes non-compliance is often effective, and it can even be regarded as a powerful and unconstrained style. But in the long run, it is better to abide by the rules and accept more. People with more education are more likely to be successful." Rock now talks about everything from a strategic point of view, and the more he deals with people like Louis Botha and Ade, the more Rock understands the meaning of planning before acting.

To put it bluntly, if he wants to get along well, Rock himself has to become a cunning old fritter. Those upright boys who are in a hurry will eventually be pitted to death by the cunning old fritter.

"Heh!" Phyllis disagreed with Roque's words, and the objection was clearly expressed.

"Don't feed the big guy too much meat. A good dog will be turned into a pig by you." Phyllis fed the big antelope tongues that he couldn't finish, and Roque couldn't help reminding.

Phyllis really knows how to eat it. The tongue of the eland is a famous delicacy. Phyllis can't finish it. It can be eaten by the policemen who are roasting the leg of lamb. The big ones are enough to chew on the bones.

The policemen don’t eat the tongue of the eland. Compared with the roast leg of lamb, that bit of meat is too little. Buck’s roast leg of lamb is very good. Not only the seasoning is evenly brushed, but also the heat is just right. The scorched meat was tender and oily, and after a layer of roasting, it was removed with a knife and placed on a porcelain plate from the Qing Dynasty. The maid sent it to the police. There were also wine and beer in the carriage. The police were very happy to eat.

Rock was also very happy. The delicious barbecue and iced wine were a perfect match. He was surrounded by a charming girlfriend and a loyal and reliable brother behind him. At this moment, Rock finally put all those bad things behind him.

It didn't take long for him to be happy. On the second day after returning to Johannesburg, Rock received a telegram that Ada was coming.
