Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1634 No Successor
The price guarantee system is the first of its kind in the world. There is no experience from other countries to learn from, and the Ministry of Agriculture has to cross the river by feeling the stones.

In the afternoon, two staff members from the Ministry of Agriculture came to a farm in Johannesburg to investigate and obtain more first-hand information.

This is a standard farm of about 150 acres. The main mode of operation is to raise Nyasaran cattle and Merino sheep. There are about 50 Nyasaran cattle and 300 Merino sheep in the farm. Revenue is expected to be around R2000.

"Two thousand rand, this income is higher than that of our director!" Bruce, who just graduated not long ago, sighed. His annual income is only 250 rand, which has just reached the average level.

"It's not too much. Look clearly, there are nine people in this family, and the average is about the same as us." Su Nan, who has been working for five years, is Bruce's senior. They all graduated from Nyasaland University.

After the establishment of the federal government, the population of southern Africa has been growing explosively for more than ten years, from less than 500 million at the beginning to nearly 6700 million now.

The figure of 6700 million is the latest data for this year. As we all know, due to various reasons, the population statistics of southern Africa were not accurate. In some years, the population of southern Africa may even decline. This is not because someone is lazy. Live data, but caused by too much mobility of the population.

In the simplest example, a new immigrant came to Southern Africa from Port Edward, and then was resettled to Victoria through the Immigration Bureau. In this way, the new immigrant left two entry records in Port Edward and Victoria.

In the era without computer networking, it is a very complicated task to conduct demographic statistics, which requires a huge investment of manpower and funds. In addition, the immigration bureau of a certain state intentionally creates wrong data for some undisclosed reasons, which eventually leads to the federal Since the establishment of the government, there has been no accurate data on the population.

Even with the figure of 6700 million, the Ministry of the Interior cannot guarantee that it must be correct.

"It's about the same as me, but far worse than yours. You still have a farm in Victoria, which seems to be bigger than this—" Bruce said sourly. It was easy to set up a farm in southern Africa five years ago, but now it's basically impossible. Yes, unless you throw money at it.

Immediately after the end of the World War five years ago, Southwest Africa and Tanganyika became the Mandates of Southern Africa, the last chance to get farms on the cheap.

In southern Africa, even in the most remote areas, the price of an acre of farms has soared to more than 10 rand. In Chapter 82, Biroyi bought a whole 280 square kilometers in the Bechuanaland Reserve for only 12 pounds. , It really seems like a lifetime away.

Sunan graduated from Nyasaland University five years ago. At that time, farms in Victoria were still very cheap. Sunan bought a 500-acre farm in Victoria for only 300 rand. It seems like a good deal today, even if Sunan resigns now and goes home to run a farm, he can live comfortably for the rest of his life.

"My farm is planted with rubber trees, which is different from this one." Sunan is also an old Versailles, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The 300-acre rubber plantation generates annual profits similar to the farm Sunan and Bruce are going to.

The owner of the farm, surnamed Liu, came to southern Africa in 1901, and then settled down in southern Africa. He married a Boer wife, and the family was happy.

Walking along the path lined with biggonia trees on both sides to the farm, Liu Zhen was waiting by the side of the road driving a Diesel pickup produced by Nyasaland Automobile.

Once the pickup was launched, it became the most popular helper for farmers. The farms in southern Africa are relatively scattered, and the farmers live on their own farms. In some remote farms, the utilization rate of cars is limited. Pickup trucks that can transport goods have become standard equipment on farms in southern Africa.

The difference between pickup trucks and SUVs will not be discussed here. Although SUVs can also be loaded, their application scenarios are limited. Farmers in southern Africa can put cattle on pickup trucks and send them to the market, but SUVs certainly cannot.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Sunan who contacted you yesterday. This is my ID. This is my colleague Bruce—" Sunan took the initiative to introduce, not because he is directly under Liu Zhen's leadership. Arrogant attitude.

Sunan and Bruce are staff members of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Liu Zhen is the farmer. If this calculation is rounded up, Sunan is indeed directly under the leadership of Liu Zhen, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Hello, Mr. Su, hello, Mr. Bruce—" Liu Zhen was also polite, and did not check the documents of Sunan and Bruce.

There is nothing to worry about. The southern African farmer Wood is abundant, and Liu Zhen is wearing a cowboy revolver on his waist, which is normal in southern Africa.

Southern Africa can’t help guns. Pistols are very popular in southern Africa. Basically, every family will prepare a few.

"Call me Sunan, you're welcome—" Sunan and Bruce drove into the farm with Liu Zhen. The country road paved with gravel is very impressive. The bignonia tree has entered the flowering period in September, and the lavender bignonia flowers Blooming in the wind, there is a faint fragrance in the air.

Knowing that Sunan and Bruce are coming, Liu Zhen's wife Zhuo La is preparing afternoon tea for Sunan and Bruce. The house with blue bricks and red tiles has oriental characteristics, and the white fence around the house is rich in color. The strong South African Mastiff didn't react much when he saw a stranger, because Liu Zhen was there.

If Liu Zhen is not present, if there are strangers who want to enter the farm, they must be prepared to be attacked by the South African mastiff. An adult South African mastiff is definitely more powerful than an adult male. If it bites, it will not let go. That kind, and also good at group combat, think about a South African mastiff weighing more than 100 kilograms rushing up with its bloody mouth open, that scene is absolutely sour.

The afternoon tea at Liuzhen Farm has southern African characteristics. There is no black tea that the British like, only green tea produced in southern Africa.

Those common snacks are also absent, but there are salted duck eggs with oily yolks and pies made by Zora.

Bruce took a bite of the pie and was immediately full of praise.

"Mr. Liu, how is the operating status of the farm?" Sunan didn't waste any time, and got to the point as soon as he came up.

Bruce hastily put down the pie in his hand, opened his notebook and started recording.

"It's not bad——" Liu Zhen didn't say much, mostly because of his caution when facing strangers.

"Tell me specifically, how is the income of the farm? There are nine members of your family, it is really a big family—" What Sunan wants is data, too general can't do it.

"It's not all my kids, I only have four kids, the other kids are my brothers, they're in Bechuanaland, but you know Johannesburg has a higher level of education, so they send their kids to Come here to go to school, now the children are at school, and they only come back on weekends—" Liu said truthfully.

Sunan and Bruce are helpless, which is why the demographics of southern Africa are chaotic.

"Why? Is the public education system in Bechuanaland not perfect?" Sunan asked. The education system in southern Africa is very complete, and this situation should not happen.

"Are you Chinese?" Liu Zhen asked back.

"Yes--"

"Then you should know the education requirements of the Chinese. Bechuanaland is indeed a complete public education system, but the education level is much worse than that of Johannesburg." Isn't it sick?

"How is it possible? The Ministry of Education treats the public education systems of all states equally." Sunan doesn't think so. He is a government official and must speak for the federal government.

"Mr. Su, Johannesburg has Locke Middle School and Bigwig School—" Liu Zhen looked proud. Although the public education in southern Africa is good, it is obviously much worse than Locke Middle School and Bigwig School.

Sunan and Bruce fell silent immediately.

The predecessor of Locke Middle School was the school for the children of miners in the Locke Gold Mine. Together with Bigwig Public School, both were founded by Rock himself.

Roque founded these two schools to solve the education problems of the Chinese in Johannesburg. At that time, in order to find excellent teachers, Roque even spent a lot of money to hire them in the UK.

Now these two schools have a history of more than 20 years, earlier than the establishment of the federal government. They are also well-known in the middle school education in southern Africa. In the whole of southern Africa, only the High School Affiliated to Nyasaland University can compete with these two schools. compared to schools.

Bruce is not very clear about the importance that the Chinese place on education. Sunan himself is a Chinese, and he couldn't be more clear about this.

"Are the children's grades okay?" Sunan noticed that there were many photo frames on the fireplace in the living room, including a boy in a bachelor's uniform, which seemed to be taken at the graduation ceremony.

The background of the photo is very familiar to Sunan, and the words Nyasaland University are very eye-catching.

"It's not bad. My eldest son has graduated from Nyasaland University and is now working in Port Edward Customs; my eldest daughter has gone to the Bigwig Hospital after graduating from Johannesburg Medical School. She just got married last year. Her husband is a member of the Johannesburg Police Department. Police officer, the other children are all in Locke Middle School, and their grades are very good. In the future, there may be several college students in my family. What I am most worried about now is that there may be no children who are willing to come back to inherit my farm in the future—” Liu Zhen looked distressed , but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be showing off.

It’s not like, simply point, remove the like.

"It doesn't matter, you are not very old, you still have a chance." Sunan was not joking, Liu Zhen is only in his early forties now, and he must have fertility.

"No, no, no, I still want to retire with my wife when the children inherit the farm—" Liu Zhen was joking. Retirement is impossible, and he and Zora have to help the children.
