Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1635 Pollution of the Environment
Liu Zhen said that retirement is a joke, and it is not a joke to say that he will not have children.

Going back 20 years, Liu Zhen’s 150-acre farm needs at least 50 workers to meet the demand during the busy season. So at that time, Liu Zhen wished that the family could have as many people as possible. After all, more people are indeed powerful.

Now there are tractors in Liu Zhen’s farm, one person can do ten jobs, and there are pickup trucks. The efficiency is much higher than that of bullock carts. In the past, milking cows had to be done manually one by one. Now milking cows has started to use machines. With so many people?
As for national defense, after the strength has improved, the requirements for the number of people have become less and less, and the requirements for quality have been continuously improved. 20 years ago, during the Boer War, there were still crowd tactics. It is estimated that the next world war will be a decisive battle of tanks. The role of infantry will become smaller and smaller, and the size of the army will become smaller and smaller.

The same goes for other fields.

20 years ago, the gold mines in Johannesburg still needed to be carried on shoulders and hands. Now many mines have started semi-mechanized operations. Compared with manpower, the efficiency of machinery is not a star and a half, and there is no need to worry about the supervision of relevant functional departments. There are no human rights organizations talking about it, and the mine owner is not an idiot. Even if the wages of African-American workers are low, the accumulation of labor and horse consumption is not a small number. After all, it is more cost-effective to use machines.

There are also factories that are reducing the demand for manpower.

Southern African factories, as the degree of mechanization is getting higher and higher, the demand for workers is getting less and less. The jobs that can replace manpower with machinery have been replaced by machinery. In the future, when factories enter the stage of automation, even African workers will If you want to be eliminated, you can save a little bit.

Don't listen to the demagoguery of consumerism. The rich people's attitude towards money is to save as much as possible. On the contrary, the less money you have, the more afraid people will look down on you, and you often slap your face and pretend to be fat.

Comparing each other a few times, for Liu Zhen's family, having a few more children is really meaningless. Maybe there will be some disputes in the next hundred years because of the division of the family property. They are all focused on cultivating a few children, and Liu Zhen and his wife are also happy to be at leisure.

Of course, this is for Liu Zhen’s family. For the Southern African Federal Government, the more population the better. After all, the land that has been developed in Southern Africa is less than one-tenth of the land that can be developed. Southern Africa is at least We have to wait for a population of [-] to [-] million before considering other issues.

When Sunan started to ask about the annual income of Liu Zhen's farm, Liu Zhen finally became nervous.

"My income tax officer has records, and every income has been taxed, and there has never been tax evasion—" Liu Zhen repeatedly emphasized that the awareness of paying taxes in southern Africa is also infiltrated into the bones.

"I didn't say that you evaded taxes. I asked this because the Ministry of Agriculture wanted to formulate a price guarantee system—" Sunan explained the price guarantee system to Liu Zhen in detail, and Liu Zhen was in a good mood immediately.

"Great! The federal government should have done this a long time ago. When we farmers sell goods, those **** profiteers can do as much as they want. Let alone pricing power, we don't even have bargaining power-oh, sorry, I'm not Complaining again, it's just—" Liu Zhen suddenly realized something was wrong, according to him, Xiao Si is the most damned profiteer.

and Phyllis.

Don't forget that the largest textile factory in Southern Africa is owned by Phyllis.

The Johannesburg Farmers Association is also led by the Johannesburg City Government.

Farmers associations are basically unified purchases and sales, purchasing agricultural products from farmers, and then negotiating with the purchasers to sell the agricultural products to the purchasers at the most suitable price.

Therefore, there are very few small vendors in the southern African market, and several relatively large chain retailers have almost completely monopolized the southern African retail market. It is good for everyone to put it on the shelves and reduce the cost of intermediate links as much as possible.

"I understand that the federal government also wants to protect the interests of farmers, so it has to formulate a price protection system." Sunan is not embarrassed, and it is normal for Liu Zhen to complain. When farmers sell things, they want to sell them at a good price. Merchants want to lower costs when making purchases, and there is competition among chain retailers.

"Then you should set a relatively high price, so as to protect the interests of farmers to the greatest extent." Liu Zhen is happy. It is a fact that cheap grain hurts farmers, and it is also true what is written in "Overcharged by Three or Five Dou".

Sunan did not cater to it and set a relatively high price. The farmers were happy, and all risks had to be borne by the federal government.

The key is that the right to set the price is not in Sunan's hands, and Sunan's words don't count.

When he left Liu Zhen's farm, Bruce was angry.

"Our farmer is also a bit greedy. I looked at the size of the farm. Maybe the annual income is more than 2000 rand—" Bruce walked around the farm just now, except for the cowshed and the sheepfold. In addition, there are chicken coops on the farm, and there are large groups of ducks and geese, all of which are more than white. This is the norm in southern Africa. Who doesn't keep a flock of chickens, ducks and geese?

What Bruce didn't see was that there were still fish in the pond of Liu Zhen's farm, and selling fresh fish every year was also a source of income. Canned food from southern Africa was exported to Europe and the United States, and canned fish was also very popular.

"It's definitely more than that, but there's no need to worry about it, it's not our job." Sunan didn't care, and he didn't forget to say goodbye to Liu Zhen when he started the car.

Calculating taxes is the job of the General Administration of Taxation, which has nothing to do with the Ministry of Agriculture, and the General Administration of Taxation does not have the energy to keep an eye on every farmer. With that time, it would be better to investigate whether the mine owners in Johannesburg have smuggled gold.

The taxation in southern Africa is mainly "robbing the rich and giving to the poor". The higher the income, the more taxes you have to pay. Rich people like Stoudemire and Christian have to pay taxes in tens of millions of rand every year. This is still the case when a large number of accountants rack their brains every day to calculate tax avoidance.

Roque doesn't pay much in taxes every year.

It's not that Roque's companies don't make money, but that the companies under Roque's name spend more while making money. As a result, some companies are even losing money, so why pay.

For example, the most profitable Rand Bank and Nyasaland Corporation earn hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, but the amount of foreign investment is higher. As soon as the report comes out, it is a loss.

Although the book is losing money, the actual assets are increasing. If only the profit is calculated, the annual profit of Nyasaland Company is comparable to that of a small country.

"Even if there is no price protection system, the income of these farmers will not be greatly affected." The more Bruce knows about southern African farms, the more envious he is of the farmers' lives.

Regardless of the fact that the average per capita of Liu Zhen’s farm is not high, in fact the expenditure of Liu Zhen’s farm is not much. After all, there are so many chickens, ducks and geese on the farm, and they can’t finish eating poultry and eggs every day. If the children’s education is in public schools, Basically, Liu Zhen doesn’t need to spend money, and the school takes care of meals at noon every day, let alone worry about medical treatment. Didn’t you hear Liu Zhen say that his daughter works in the Bigwei Hospital.

Like Bigwig College, Bigwig Hospital is also strong in the medical field in southern Africa.

"Bruce, the federal government should try its best to ensure a happy life for everyone in southern Africa. Liuzhen's farm is good, but it doesn't mean that all farms in southern Africa are good." Sunan is dedicated to his duties, and not all farms can earn 2000 rand a year .

The new immigrants who moved to southern Africa in these years are not only Chinese, but also many whites from the old continent.

Compared with the industrious Chinese, those farms run by white people in the old continent are in much worse condition.

It's really not that the federal government's policy is biased towards the Chinese. The federal government treats everyone equally when formulating policies, and there is no discrimination.

Unlike the Chinese who can’t rest for a moment, the white man’s farm is called unrestrained. It is normal to raise a sheep on five acres of land and a cow on ten acres of land. This is normal in southern Africa in the past. , but after the large-scale influx of Chinese into southern Africa, the farms run by whites went from bad to worse.

On the same farm, the income of a Chinese farm is about twice that of a white farm.

There is nothing worse. Farmers who dawdle all day and do not want to make progress have been eliminated by the market. The competition in this industry is also very fierce.

Entering October, the Ministry of Finance has made another move. In order to stimulate the export of southern Africa, the federal government decided to devalue the rand by 30.00%, and fixed it at three to one with the US dollar, and issued a new version of the rand.

In the past, the rand had a maximum denomination of twenty, and the pattern on it was the head of Queen Victoria.

The new version of rand has an additional [-] denominations, still using the portrait of Queen Victoria, [-] rands use the portrait of George V, [-] rands use the portrait of Adelaide, and [-] rands use the portrait of Philip Avatar, one rand does not issue banknotes, but uses coins instead.

It is worth mentioning that the one rand coin contains gold, which makes it possible that southern Africa is the only country in the world that currently uses gold coins.

Compared with the previous version of rand, the new version of rand has applied the latest printing technology, more advanced anti-counterfeiting means, and is more difficult to forge. Stimulated by currency depreciation, exports from southern Africa immediately responded positively, and the trade volume to Europe and the United States quickly Increase.

Also in October, the Japanese government quietly paid 1000 million rand in compensation to the federal government of southern Africa, and gave up all the honors brought by vitamin 1, and the requirements of southern Africa were fully satisfied.

Rock was basically satisfied with this result, and the Indian Ocean Fleet finally released the "Fugui Pill".

But to the despair of Yano Kei, the captain of "Fugui Maru", all the beef transported on "Fugui Maru" has deteriorated and cannot be eaten, so it can only be dumped into the sea.

It cannot yet fall in the waters near the Changi Naval Base, because the Indian Ocean Fleet is worried about polluting the environment.
