African Nationhood

Shi Jintang looked at Xia Yi who was sitting in the corner, "Let the medical department talk about it."

Xia Yi stood up and said softly, "Yes, Mr. Shi."

Then she opened her notebook and said, "During the war, our department treated a total of 345 million civilians.

The total output value of the medical resources consumed should be 126 billion yuan.

The output value created by our department is much higher than the consumption, reaching 145 billion yuan in military expenditure, achieving a historic breakthrough. This achievement deserves recognition. "

Xia Yi said that the main reason for the high profits is that the unit price of the drugs they produce is relatively high, and penicillin is comparable to the equivalent value of gold.

In this way, the combined value of their departments is very high.

"Well, you have done a good job and deserve recognition. On behalf of the company, I would like to thank everyone in your department for your hard work."

Xia Yi pursed her lips and smiled, then continued to speak.

“During the war, our department had successfully achieved a smallpox vaccination rate of 99% for immigrants.

We have also made great improvements in vaccination against diphtheria and typhus.

Among them, the diphtheria vaccination rate reached 59.5%, and the typhus vaccination rate reached 49.8%.

In addition, a breakthrough has been achieved in the neonatal mortality rate, which has dropped to 20‰, and the mortality rate of dystocia among pregnant women has also dropped by 12‰. "

Shi Jintang thought for a moment and asked, "Has your department calculated the birth rate of the company's population?"

Xia Yi flipped through her notebook and replied softly: "When the company was first established, the birth rate was about 1%.

With the development of the company and the establishment of the pharmaceutical industry, the birth rate has increased to 1.5%.

The company's newborn birth rate has remained roughly at around 2.3% in the past two years. "

After hearing Xia Yi's answer, Shi Jintang was a little hurt.

After so many years of hard work, the birth rate is still so low!

The problem lies in the lack of enough women of marriageable age. Because immigrants cannot be immigrated due to the war, the shortage of women of marriageable age within the company's territory has not been solved.

During the same period, the birth rate in the United States was about 3.3%. Nanhua Company still has a long way to go.

"What about the company's population death rate, the normal death rate."

Xia Yi answered directly without flipping through her notebook this time, "Because the company's population is very healthy, with a majority of young adults, and our medical technology is growing rapidly, the natural mortality rate of the population is about 0.2‰."

This was gratifying. Shi Jintang smiled and said, "Well, okay, please sit down."

After speaking, he looked at Sansa Bruce.

"Grandma, the God of Wealth, will tell you something to boost morale."

Sansa Bruce could already understand Boss Shi's teasing, she smiled and nodded.

"Let me tell you, in addition to property seized during the war, the company also received cash income.

First, let’s talk about the seized property, which mainly includes livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as food supplies.

The South China Army plundered a large amount of official supplies and private wealth from most cities in the Cape and Natal colonies.

Our financial department has made an estimate and the approximate value is 4285 million pounds.

Part of the company's additional income is weapons and equipment for the British Expeditionary Force. "

During this war, on the main battlefield in South Africa alone, the Nanhua Company captured 36 expeditionary force prisoners.

A total of 9.5 expeditionary force soldiers died on the battlefield in South Africa, and nearly 20 Lee-Enfield rifles were left behind.

These new rifles are worth a lot of money. At 4 pounds each, the value is already 80 pounds. They also have 1 million rounds of supporting ammunition, worth 45 pounds. In addition, Nanhua Company also seized 231 artillery pieces of various calibers and nearly 30 rounds of supporting artillery shells.

Most of these artillery pieces were newly produced from British arsenals, and Nanhua Company directly retained them, ignoring the urging of the British War Department.

These 431 artillery pieces are worth more than 50 pounds, and the 30 rounds of artillery shells are worth more than 120 million pounds.

"Our finance department has asked the military department and the total value of this batch of weapons and equipment is about 305 million pounds.

Another big part of our income comes from the belongings carried by the prisoners of the expeditionary force.

Not only did they have military pay from the British government, but they also had property gained from robbing the Boers. The total of these wealth totaled more than 810 million pounds. "

(In 1900, the British regular army's military pay was 9 shillings per person per month. The British Expeditionary Force stayed in South Africa for three years, and each soldier's personal military pay already exceeded ten pounds.

There were about 34 regular British troops participating in this battle, and 10 to 12 servants. The pay of the colonial servants is unknown, and is calculated as half of the British army. )

Therefore, Nanhua Company's gains on the battlefield this time are enough to make people laugh from ear to ear.

In addition, the Nanhua Company defrauded the cabinet of more than 1200 million pounds in military expenses at the beginning of the war. The profits from this war were still good, far exceeding the actual expenditure of the Nanhua Company.

This is in addition to the value of the territory obtained from the war, which is of immeasurable value.

“In addition to these, let me talk about the commercial tax income of various enterprises in the company’s hinterland.

The company's total financial revenue last year was 266.48 billion yuan, of which 35.1 billion yuan was from domestic taxes, 207.3 billion yuan was distributed from overseas companies, and 24.08 million yuan was from indigenous taxes. "

Previously, due to the war, dividends from overseas companies had been stranded overseas and could not be recorded. Now that the war is over, all overseas dividends have been recorded, resulting in higher expenses.

"Well, the indigenous tax revenue is still too small. Tell Ding Zulu that he has to work harder, otherwise we will replace him with tax collection."

Sansa Bruce naturally understood what Boss Shi meant, which was to force him to speed up the elimination of the Zulus.

"Okay, Mr. Shi."

Sansa Bruce sat down, and Iron Lan stood up, "Let me tell you."

Shi Jintang nodded slightly, "Tie Lao, please speak."

“There was an overall downward trend in criminal cases within the company throughout the war, and a relative decline in other types of civil cases followed.

In the past three years, our legal department has handled only 489 large-scale criminal cases, 3687 ordinary criminal cases, and 45250 civil cases.

In terms of case handling satisfaction, 83%.

The police department handled a total of 145 cases, 9.7% of which were civil disputes, and there were fewer vicious and large-scale criminal cases.

In addition, hundreds of espionage cases have been reported, but most of them have been proven to be false.

The education rate of our people has improved, and their acceptance of all kinds of new things has also become higher.

They are often suspicious of people who don't know how to sing the national anthem and don't know what you look like, fearing that they are spies.

So he ran to the police station to report the crime and his story was vivid, which made the patrol officer handling the case very excited.

At the last trial, I learned that some people are born unable to sing, and others are born unable to remember faces.

The more patrol officers come into contact with such cases, the more they gradually relax.

Generally speaking, our people are still more patriotic and support you more. "

Hearing what Tie Lan said, Shi Jintang couldn't help but think of jokes about catching spies online in later generations, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Shi Jintang looked at his watch and said, "Okay, let's not listen to the development status of the education and cultural departments.

Let me tell you about the future institutional setup of the Dominion, so everyone should be mentally prepared. "(End of chapter)
