Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 185 Can't afford to provoke (please subscribe)

The "big guy" has a roll of paper in his stomach, don't get me wrong, it's not a pound, and it's not a check. Rock is not so vulgar, and Phyllis is not so superficial.

What was Roque writing about?

Phyllis thought it was a love poem when she first discovered the mystery hidden in the belly of the "big man".

When he opened it, Roque actually wrote a sheet full of jokes.

For example: A man was hit by a carriage in London, he was in the hospital, the doctor said to him, they have a good news and a bad news, do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news first?

He said he wanted to hear the bad news first.

The doctor said, we have to amputate both of your thighs.

What about the good news, he asked?

The doctor replied: The good news is that the person in the next bed wants to buy your new shoes—

To be honest, Rock didn't laugh at all when he saw these jokes, but Phyllis almost died laughing, and tried to cover her mouth with a pillow, for fear of alarming her family.

This was probably the funniest letter Phyllis had ever received in her life.

After laughing, Phyllis was a little crazy.

The key is this kind of heart. If Roque said "I miss you" throughout the article, there is a high probability that it will increase Felice's miss and make Felice more painful, so Roque wrote such a letter without any other meaning, just I want to make Phyllis happy.

Phyllis was so happy that she decided to watch it every day before going to bed.

-

Rock is also very happy, 1500 pounds is enough for Spike to do anything, Holly and Connie successfully completed the registration with the Ministry of the Interior, and none of the parties probably thought of what this incident would do to the future Transvaal and even South Africa kind of impact.

Rock can vaguely feel it, but Rock is not sure. The situation in the Transvaal is very complicated, and Rock can only do his best.

Completing the registration means that Holly and Connie become a legal couple.

Although Hawley has been removed from the Cape Town Police Department, if Hawley wishes, Rock can also let Hawley re-enter the Johannesburg Police Department.

Rock specifically asked Hawley for his opinion.

"Boss, I'll do whatever you want me to do!" Holly's answer was decisive. It seemed that even if Roque arranged for Holly to mine, Holly would not hesitate.

Rock will definitely not let Hawley mine, and of course he will not make decisions for Hawley: "Don't put your destiny in other people's hands, no matter at any time, no matter how good he is to you, you have Wife, if you have any children, you are responsible for the family."

Holly was anxious to speak.

Rock stopped him with gestures: "You have three options. The first one is to go to the Johannesburg Police Station and continue to be a policeman. I can arrange for you to be in charge of the internal work, so you don't have to go out to work. There is no danger; the second is to stay in the Los Angeles mine to work. , you also know that there is a lack of management personnel in the mine. You have been a policeman and managed a refugee camp. You must be more reliable than those miners who know nothing. Lord, the nearby land is very cheap, I will lend it to you if you don’t have money, don’t worry, being a farmer has a bright future.”

Rock asked Hawley to choose by himself. In fact, these options are all good, especially the last one.

In the past, the Chinese came to Johannesburg to work on a large scale, but because the Chinese were abused in Johannesburg, they did not have the slightest favor for Johannesburg, so after the contract ended, most of the Chinese returned to Qing Dynasty, only a small number of Chinese Stay in Johannesburg.

The first thing Rock wants to change is that period of history. The farms around the Rock Gold Mine were prepared by Rock for these Chinese miners.

Of course, in order for Chinese miners to stay willingly, it is not enough to just create conditions. Rock also needs some demonstration effects. Only when Chinese miners see the benefits of staying in Johannesburg, will they stay willingly.

If Holly chooses the third option, Rock will give Holly the greatest discount, not only selling the land to Holly at a low price, Rock will also help Holly build a house, buy farm tools, buy livestock, Even if Hawley doesn't know how to run a farm, Rock will buy Hawley another family business, which can have a sufficient demonstration effect.

Hawley's choice was simple: "First, second."

"The third is better," Rock reminded Hawley.

"Head, just the second one. I don't care about any farmers or policemen. Without you, I might have been sent back to the Qing Dynasty, and Connie and Annie would also be imprisoned in a concentration camp. In my life, I will be I sold my life to you." Holly said thankfully.

Rock looked at Holly with a righteous face and smiled: "It's not that serious, you first follow Buck to learn management slowly, the farm should buy and buy, if you are too busy, just hire a few Zulus to work for you .”

The more Holly repays his kindness, the less Rock will treat Holly badly. Money is meaningless to Rock. Since the first day Rock came to this era, he has never cared about money, because Rock knows, As a time traveler, it is impossible for him to lack money in his life. For a time traveler, making money may be the easiest.

But a loyal confidant is always lacking.

People have a price, loyalty is priceless!

"Hire, hire someone?" Holly never thought that he would become a landlord by accident.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about hiring someone to do the work for you, Reed, call Christian and ask him to send ten people—no, twenty people over here." Rock looked like a shameless slave owner.

There is no way, people are so easily inflated in this environment, and Johannesburg is still under military control, and there is no law at all.

"Head, I—" Holly rubbed his hands nervously, and Rock could tell at a glance that he was probably out of cash.

"You go to Buck. As for your salary, it will be based on the level of the iron hook." Rock is generous, and this is also a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone.

It is estimated that Hawley does not know how much Hook's salary is, so Hawley is not too excited.

Anton didn't speak until Holly left.

"Really, I don't know what kind of shit luck this guy has—" Anton was a little jealous. The annual salary of Iron Hook was 700 pounds, and Anton knew it.

"Jealous?" Rock laughed.

"I'm so jealous. As an inspector, I only earn 350 pounds a year." Anton was indeed jealous.

"Then come here, and I'll give you a thousand." Rock was also not stingy with Anton.

Anton just laughed, a thousand is a lot, but it's not enough to make Anton tempted.

The superintendent's salary is indeed 350 pounds, but it can't stand the high gray income. Rock has also worked as an inspector, and his monthly gray income is about 200 pounds, [-] pounds. It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not much.

"To be honest, if it weren't for Cape Town and our many brothers, I really want to come to Johannesburg." Anton stayed in Cape Town not only for money, Cape Town's Chinese police also needed a standard bearer, and Rock left Cape Town, Anton is the standard bearer of Cape Town.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. We can't give up on Oak Town yet. We'll talk about it when we gain a firm foothold in Johannesburg." Rock has a complete plan. Oak Town is good, but Johannesburg is better.

In Rock's plan, the Chinese in Oak Town will gradually migrate to Johannesburg.

Although Rock spent a lot of effort in rebuilding Oak Town, the future Johannesburg has better development prospects than Oak Town.

If Rock's "immigration" plan can be implemented smoothly, then in the future, whether it is the colonial government or the self-governing federation, the Chinese will have a great say in the Transvaal. By then, Rock may not be able to change the entire Federation of South Africa situation, but at least in the Transvaal, Rock will have enough influence.

"Abandon Oak Town?" Anton didn't expect that Rock would actually give up Oak Town.

"Give up when it's time to give up—" Rock has a choice in his heart, willing, willing, how can he not give up: "Oak Town is too close to Cape Town, and Cape Town must be the center of British rule , so if we want to live comfortably, we must stay away from Cape Town."

Rock doesn't want to drill into the deep mountains and old forests, but this is the reality. It was better during the British colonial period. After a while, the Boers will make a comeback. People have to give in to the Boers.

So Rock can only choose the inland area of ​​Johannesburg.

In Johannesburg, the British only pay attention to the gold mines, and they don't even notice who is running the farms here. The gold obtained from the development of the Rock Gold Mine, Rock is going to use it to buy farms. The more you buy, the better. It is better to buy all the farms around Johannesburg, so that after the war, when the Boers return to Johannesburg, they will find that there is no place for them to stand.

Reality will force the Boers to choose to leave Johannesburg.

"We are quite comfortable in Oak Town—" Anton was not willing to let Oak Town get better and better.

"The pressure is not economic, but political. You always know that the better Oak Town is, the more jealous people will be, and the greater the pressure will be on us." Rock doesn't want to be in the limelight, and it is best for all Chinese to Make a fortune in silence, accumulate strength, and when the strength is sufficient, the Chinese will show their muscles. At that time, neither the British nor the Boers will be able to recover.

"That's true. Recently, many British people have been wandering around Oak Town, and some people want to buy the vineyards in Oak Town. The price they offer is ridiculously low—" Anton doesn't understand what politics is, but Anton knows, and then As Oak Town is getting more and more prosperous, the pressure that Oak Town will face must be increasing.

"Start preparing when you go back, first send the family members of the brothers here—" Before he could finish speaking, Roque knew that he was too impatient.

"The Boer guerrillas are still bombing the railway, wait until the war is over, wait until the war is over." Anton came here this time, and suffered a lot, making those old and weak women and children trek for thousands of miles——

I still don't know what they will experience on the way.

"Stupid, let them take a boat to Durban first, and then take a train from Durban to Johannesburg." Rock has a way. The guerrillas are operating in the Cape, and they can't afford to provoke them or hide them? !
