Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1600 Gentleman Chen

The value of Xu Ge is not only in changing the lives of a few children.

An outstanding graduate from Nyasaland University gave up the glamorous job and generous treatment in the big city, and lived a difficult life on a deserted island thousands of miles away from home for the sake of a dozen orphans who lost their families.

This kind of thing does not need to be rendered, it is the best material for publicity as a typical example.

The federal government of Southern Africa attaches great importance to the ideological education of young people, not to mention that the United Kingdom and the United States do not brainwash, the three cheers during the Second Boer War, the oath to the flag when becoming a US citizen, and even the demons of hostile countries Propaganda is actually subtly brainwashing.

Southern Africa was even more aggressive in this regard. Just after the end of the World War, the Federal Government of Southern Africa made full use of the advantages of newspapers, magazines and radio broadcasts to publicize the heroic deeds during the World War.

Heroes should not be allowed to bleed and shed tears. This standard is truly implemented in Southern Africa. Southern Africa is the only country in the world that provides full subsidies to veterans of the World Wars.

With the development of the economy, there are also some unfavorable situations among young people in southern Africa, such as the pursuit of luxury accessories, blind comparisons, extravagance and waste, and even illegal and criminal behaviors in pursuit of stimulation.

The appearance of Xu Ge at this time was simply too timely. The Indian Ocean Fleet immediately decided to expand the scale of the school and also allocated [-] rand.

Nyasaland University's response was a bit slow, but it gave more support to Xu Ge. It not only published the actual situation of Xu Ge in the school newspaper, but also called on Nyasaland University alumni to give more help to Xu Ge.

As an institution, in southern Africa, the influence of Nyasaland University can be said to be second only to the federal government of southern Africa.

After Nyasaland University issued a call, the whole of southern Africa was instantly detonated by this girl named Xu Ge.

There is a problem that cannot be ignored. The more education you receive, the more you think about the value of life.

What kind of life is valuable?

This is a question that every highly educated person will think about in the dead of night.

It is important to realize personal value, but when life is guaranteed, more and more considerations are given to social value.

For many people, it is unacceptable to give up the life of a big city and go anonymously to the wilderness, but this does not prevent them from paying their highest respect to people like Xu Ge.

Nyasaland University has many alumni associations. There are alumni associations at the same level, in the same department, in the same club, in the same region, and even in the same department after work.

Xu Ge graduated from the 1922 Department of Economics and Management. After graduation, most of the graduates of this department work in government departments or large enterprises. Many of Xu Ge's classmates have already emerged in their work and made some achievements.

The fastest responders were Xu Ge's classmates. They still had a deep impression of Xu Ge, a skinny girl. Special, handed over to Xu Ge's roommate at Nyasaland University to bring Xu Ge to the Lion City.

Xu Ge's roommate went to seek refuge with Xu Ge, not the kind of desperate defection, but was moved by Xu Ge's deeds, and took the initiative to go to the Lion City to help Xu Ge.

R15 is just the beginning. In just one week, donations from various alumni associations of Nyasaland University reached R[-].

Nyasaland University decided to add another 15 to a total of 30, all of which will be used for the school construction on Tekong Island.

The charitable foundation also responded quickly. The Tekong Island school has raised more than 50 rand before construction started. This is almost enough to build a university, and there is simply not enough money to use up.

So the foundation managed by Phyllis decided to reward Xu Ge himself with a thousand rand.

Don’t think it’s too little. In 1924, the median income level in southern Africa was only 200. One thousand rand was equivalent to the income of a middle class in southern Africa for five years.

Charitable foundations rarely give individual awards, but this award has been unanimously agreed by all foundation owners.

The Cecil Rhodes Foundation established by Stoudemire is also the icing on the cake. No more, no less, one thousand, closely following in the footsteps of the Phyllis Foundation.

Then the Federal Government of Southern Africa came into play. Nyasaland University has already been so active, and the Federal Government is not far behind. After knowing Xu Ge’s deeds, Rock immediately decided to award Xu Ge one of the highest honors on behalf of Southern Africa. Medal of Justice.

A bit overrated.

But it is very reasonable, what is current events making heroes, this is it!
Xu Ge is still unaware of the turbulent conditions in southern Africa, and is very satisfied with the arrangement of the umbrella company.

The address of the school is set on the west side of Tekong Island, close to the Lion City. The funding from the umbrella company has not yet been in place, and the construction team has already entered the site to start preliminary work.

The construction industry in southern Africa is very developed. After all, so many cities have been built from scratch, and they are very familiar with how to build a school. As long as the funds are in place, they can talk about anything.

Xu Ge now goes to the construction site to take a look every day. With the help of construction machinery, the construction progress is quite fast. Today, the ground is still leveling, and the sewer will be dug the next day, and the pipeline will be buried in two days. With the entry of "Song Huizong", the foundation of the teaching building has been laid. It took only ten days, and a teaching building with only three floors but 15 meters high rose from the ground.

Don't think it's fast, it's already slow. In 1930, New York began to build the Empire State Building, with four and a half floors a week, much faster than Country Garden.

Xu Ge didn't think it was slow, but worried that the construction would be so fast that safety would not be guaranteed.

"Principal, don't worry, I dare to guarantee with my head that this teaching building can be used for at least 100 years." The captain of the construction team patted his chest and assured that the construction of the school by Christian Construction Company will not make money at all, and it will The school regards it as a model project.

Southern Africa’s requirement for construction quality is lifelong accountability. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow the construction is, the quality must be guaranteed. If there is a bean curd project, it will be decapitated. No one dares to take it lightly.

Because the Lion City is not on the earthquake belt, basically there will be no earthquakes. In addition, the Lion City is not far from the equator. Due to the influence of the low pressure on the equator, the probability of typhoons is not high. Others such as tsunamis and volcanoes are basically not. , the probability of natural disasters is not high, and the construction captain's guarantee is still confident.

"Principal, someone from Lion City is here, and they are already waiting in the office." Xu Ge now has assistants, and there are more than one.

"Are you here to give money again?" Xu Ge was a little caught off guard by the development of the situation. People in Lion City attached great importance to the school, which also exceeded Xu Ge's imagination.

The Chinese have always attached great importance to education. Most of the people in the Lion City are Chinese. Out of practical interests, the Straits Colonial Government did not pay enough attention to education in the Lion City, and even ignored the meaning of suppression. Now the Lion City finally has a It is a high-standard school, and one can imagine how enthusiastic the people of the Lion City are.

After the news that Pulau Tekong was going to build a school, the famous Chinese in the Lion City took action, and the rich contributed money and powerful contributions. The donation has accumulated to [-] pounds so far, and all kinds of building materials are even more high-quality and cheap. , If it wasn't for Xu Ge's insistence on paying, many local construction material suppliers in the Lion City would have to supply free of charge.

Of course, there is a purpose to all this. Whether it is a donation or a cost price to send materials, they all hope that after the school is completed, they can send their children to school.

Therefore, there is no such thing as shoddy building materials, and there is no shortage of precious wood in this era. If Xu Ge hadn't insisted on not being extravagant and wasteful, Christian Construction Company planned to pave the classrooms with mahogany floors.

Even if Xu Ge persisted, he would only replace the mahogany floor with marble.

There are no cheaper ones, and material suppliers let their children study in classrooms with formaldehyde floors?
Be careless!

This situation makes Xu Ge quite uneasy. The classroom floor of Nyasaland University is only paved with cement, and the principal's office is qualified to have a marble floor. She does not understand that under the high-pressure policy of the Straits Colonial Government, the Chinese people's desire for education has no effect. how big.

In the office, a man in a gray gown and two suits were waiting for Xu Ge. This time they sent Xu Ge [-] pounds, which was already the third payment.

"Mr. Li, the school is really not short of money now, it's enough—" Xu Ge now understands why some people feel that money is hot.

It wasn't a question of how much money it was, but the emotion involved was unbearable for Xu Ge. From being uninterested to being very popular, Xu Ge really felt what it means to be warm and cold in just a dozen days.

"Miss Xu, it's not enough. In Lion City and Malaya combined, there are more than [-] school-age children who want to receive education. We can only do our best. It's just a drop in the bucket." The old man in a long gown is a native of Lion City , surnamed Chen, a Justice of the Peace.

Justice of the Peace is a title originated from the United Kingdom, where the government appoints civilians to maintain the peace of the community, prevent illegal punishment and handle some simpler legal procedures. In England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, British Malaya, the United States, It is generally practiced in places such as the Lion City, and is usually held by influential people in the local area, who are not members of the aristocratic class.

"The current donation, together with the grants from the Umbrella Company and the East India Fleet, is more than enough for our school." Xu Ge felt her head was going to explode, and she herself was just out of school. For a young girl, suddenly being pushed to such a high position is simply overwhelming.

"Then build a few more schools, primary schools, middle schools, kindergartens, and even universities, as long as you dare to build them, we dare to donate!" Chen Gentleman is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid of not being able to spend it.
