Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 270 A Centennial Plan (It Has Nothing To Do With Education)

The biggest problem in Rhodesia is the shortage of manpower. Rock's suggestion to Stoudemire is to introduce Chinese.

Although this is not the best solution, it can indeed solve Stoudemire's problem, and the key point is that it will not arouse the high vigilance of Stoudemire and even South African whites.

After all, it's the early twentieth century.

Rock has seen a lot of peaceful evolution in the 21st century, so Rock will be instinctively wary of the population growth of ethnic minorities.

But white people at the beginning of the [-]th century would not pay attention to this point. During this period, the problems faced by colonial countries all over the world were underpopulation. As long as the colonists did not resist the colonists, the colonists would not slaughter the colonists at all. They needed colonies The aborigines serve and create wealth for white immigrants, and it is too late to plunder the population. How could they be massacred?

So countries all over the world are now trying their best to attract immigrants. Not only white people, but people of color are also laborers, and they are cheaper and more obedient. Why do European countries oppose it?

France even formulated an immigration policy to attract colonial aborigines to immigrate to France, so in this case, white South Africans would not be wary of the speed of Chinese immigration.

I am afraid that most white South Africans see the influx of so many cheap labor forces. The first reaction is not vigilance, but ecstasy, because the increase in the number of Chinese means that the number of "slaves" serving them is increasing. "Wealth" is increasing, who will have trouble with money?

That is to say, Roque was fighting for the right to vote for the Chinese in Johannesburg, which caused Adelaide and some Transvaal officials to be dissatisfied with the Chinese, but this dissatisfaction was not completely denied. Ke just scolded, but did not deport all Chinese.

Just kidding, drive the Chinese away, who runs the farm?

Who will go down the mine to mine?

Who will build the reservoir?

Count on the half-hearted Boers, or the lazy and undisciplined Zulus?

Unreliable, the lesser of two evils, since the existence of the Chinese has become a fait accompli, Adelaide will not completely overthrow this reality.

What's more, there is no issue of voting rights in Rhodesia. What Rhodesia implements is not a democratic representative system, but a corporate system. In this case, Stoudemire will not oppose Chinese immigration at all, only because the speed of Chinese immigration Slow and worried.

"Impossible. I need to develop Nyasaland first, and then I have the ability to immigrate to Rhodesia." Rock will not put the cart before the horse, and has no ambitions for Rhodesia, so Rock must prioritize ensuring Nyasaland Lan's interests.

Although Cecil Rhodes' purpose of giving Nyasaland to Roque was not pure, but in any case, Roque owed Cecil Rhodes a friendship, so Roque could dig the British government's In the corner, you can support the Yao people to resist the Portuguese, but Roque will not target Rhodesia. Unless one day, Stoudemire starts to suppress the Chinese in Rhodesia, Roque will find a way.

This kind of thinking sounds a bit pedantic, but one must have a friend, an ally or something in life. Stoudemire can be regarded as Rock's friend and ally. As long as Stoudemire can guarantee the interests of the Rhodesian Chinese, he will always be consistent with Rock , then Rock can guarantee the wealth of Stoudemire and the stability and prosperity of Rhodesia.

At the same time, it is actually for the Chinese in Rhodesia in the future.

"Don't be like this, Locke. There are many farms in Rhodesia. You let the Chinese come, and I will give them land. I will give them as much as they want."

It sounds like this condition is quite favorable, right? In fact, the whole world is doing this. Land is really worthless now, and large tracts of fertile land are barren. Why are there so many protected areas in Africa, America and Oceania? To put it bluntly, no one Development, if someone develops it, the country will not establish any Laoshizi Reserve.

The farm can generate sustainable economic benefits. There is nothing in the wasteland except long grass, so Stoudemire doesn't care who runs the farm at all. First build the farm and develop the land. The Boers used to be able to sell the farm to their ancestors. No matter how you look at the Lu people, the Chinese are much better than the Zulu people.

It is a sad fact that although the four colonies of South Africa are trying their best to attract immigrants from the British mainland, it is a pity that the effect is not good. After the war, some new immigrants did come to southern Africa, but they all waited. In the big cities, they never leave the city at all, and have no interest in farms in the countryside at all, so in the end, the government has to find another way to develop the land.

Rock and Stoudemire talked lively, and Frank was at a loss: "Rhodecia--it's not bad--"

not bad?

Stoudemire laughed dryly, Rock laughed and said nothing, saying that it was right, it depends on who he compares with.

It looks really good. The road conditions in Rhodesia are still good. Objectively speaking, the road conditions in Transvaal are better.

On the field beside the road, there are also sporadic white people and Zulu people who are plowing. They also use horses for plowing. Four or five horses go together. In this era, this is considered a heavy agricultural machine.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these whites and Zulus are not very efficient, they are dawdling and weak, and they feel like they could fall down and fall asleep at any time.

A bit lazy, but that's normal, farmers all over the world are like that, and Frank doesn't think it's any different.

After entering the territory of Nyasaland, Frank finally understood why Stoudemire never forgets the Chinese.

They are also plowing the land. Rhodesian whites and Zulus are plowing the land. One person drives four or five horses to plow the land, and there can be more than a dozen people standing around watching.

The Chinese in Nyasaland are also plowing the land. They are also driving four or five horses alone, but there are no idlers around. More people are busy building roads, digging canals, and planting. Fruit trees, even busy digging the ground with a shovel, it seems that everyone has endless work, endless work, but no one is idle, even children under ten are busy helping adults to do what they can Work.

"Director, you may not know that a month ago, this place was still deserted—" Xiao Si sighed quietly.

Frank looked far into the distance, and as far as he could see, all the land had been turned up neatly. Not far away, there was an obviously newly-built farm, surrounded by green trees, and there were vaguely children chasing and playing. Think about Xiaosi's words , Frank was extremely surprised: "One month?"

"Yes, one month! One month ago, this place was deserted—no, it wasn't deserted. In fact, I don't know how many years ago, there was a Bantu tribe here. The land of that tribe is all around here. God really prefers it. Those Bantu people, there are endless fruits and wild animals here, those Bantu people don’t even have to do hunting, they can live comfortably by picking fruits and digging out bird eggs, so for so many years, they have never tried to reclaim the land .” Stoudemire’s words strongly testify to the hard work of the Chinese.

"So there are no wild fruits and wild animals now?" Frank didn't think that God favored the Bantu people, although the Bantu people had no worries about food and clothing.

"No, there is nothing now - our dear Baron Nyasaland thinks the wild fruit is not delicious, so he cut down all the wild fruit trees and planted improved fruit trees. As for those wild animals, our dear Nyasaland Lord Baron Saran thought that their existence would affect the growth of crops, so he hunted all those wild animals, or put them in zoos, trying to domesticate them—" Stoudemire was very dissatisfied with Rock in his words, as if not only It was Rock who did not immigrate to Rhodesia.

"Cecile, you are honest, is this scene more exciting, or is the original natural scenery worth preserving?" Rock doesn't care about the original ecology. He has been in this world for so long. The original ecology is almost vomited.

"The original ecology of dog shit is natural—" Stoudemire also cursed, turning it into a national park, who will pay the tax?

All the way to the west, the closer to Lake Niassa, the more complete the development. When he arrived in Rock City, Frank was surprised to find that Little Rock was actually installing power supply equipment.

"There are two hydropower stations not far from here. After they are fully completed, they will be able to provide a stable power supply to Rock City. In two months, Nyasaland will enter the electrical age. At this time, Rock felt a little relieved. Unlike the Limpopo River that has been cut off, Nyasaland has abundant water resources. Rock has planned a total of 25 hydropower stations in Nyasaland. Within three years, The entire territory of Nyasaland was able to enter the electrical age, which was undoubtedly a proud achievement in the early twentieth century.

"What does the electrical age mean?" Frank still didn't understand what the electrical age was.

It's normal, London doesn't use electricity on a large scale yet, and the War Office usually uses candles and lights?

It's all legendary.

"As long as you stay in Nyasaland, you will know." Rock didn't explain, and this thing can't explain it. Using an electric light is the electrical age?

It's still early, but luckily Rock still has time, so he can take his time.

Little Rock is now the largest city in Nyasaland. In cities other than Little Rock, most of the houses are wooden buildings. In Little Rock, there have been a large number of permanent buildings mainly made of granite and marble, running through the city to The main road of the port is called "King's Avenue". According to Rock, it was named to celebrate the enthronement of Edward VII. This explanation satisfied Frank and Chris.

Stoudemire is curling his lips, bullshit King's Avenue, it was clearly called Suzaku Avenue a week ago.

Neither Frank nor Chris noticed Stoudemire's expression, but Rock did, so when he came to the square in the center of Little Rock, Rock casually introduced it as the "Cecil Rhodes" square.

Stoudemire's eyes turned red all at once.

"Cecil Rhodes Square is the center of Rock City. In the future, there will be a statue of Mr. Cecil Rhodes here, so that people here will always remember Mr. Cecil Rhodes, and let Cecil Rhodes Mr. Rhodes can see how we conquer Portuguese East Africa step by step.” Roque didn’t just tell Stoudemire, but he really wanted to do this. The Chinese in Nyasaland also need patriotic education in the future. Rock is now also consciously collecting information in this regard.

Frank and Chris didn't react to these words, but Stoudemire was emotional: "Locke, thank you, how much is this square, I bought it!"

So cute, money seems to be the only way Stoudemire expresses his emotions.

Rock liked this way of expressing emotions, but Cecil Rhodes Plaza did not.

"Thank you, don't sell it. You have a good vision. In the future, this place will be the commercial center of Little Rock." Rock will not do such a thing, although the current square is like a big construction site, but in the future Cecil Rhodes The value of the square is immeasurable.

Henry just hardened the playground in the Pretoria Police Station, but Roque hardened the ground in Cecil Rhodes Square early on.

Around the square, Rock is planning shopping malls, supermarkets, city halls, courts, commercial areas, and high-end residential areas. Although the buildings around the square have not yet taken shape, but from the scale of the buildings and the piles of building materials, It is not difficult to see the grade of these buildings.

The largest is not the city hall, but the head office of the Rand Bank, which is undergoing underground construction.

It's amazing that Rand Bank actually put its head office in Little Rock, Nyasaland.

This is actually not surprising. Little Rock, which has not been marked on the map, has been noticed by many business groups, not only the Rand Bank, the newly established Nyasaland Mining Company, and the Christian Exploration Company, which has invested in the mining company. Bills Consolidated Mining Company, as well as the Johannesburg Mining Union, have noticed the prospects of Little Rock. These companies have acquired land around Cecil Rhodes Square and are building intensively. Only the land transfer fee, Nia Saran Agricultural Company received more than £[-].

Among all the corporate sites, Rand Bank has the best location and the largest area. The design of Rand Bank is indeed worthy of Little Rock's attention.

In the design plan submitted by the Rand Bank, the headquarters of the Rand Bank is a magnificent building with a total of eight floors above ground and underground. The building has six floors above the ground, but the height reaches 35 meters. 20 meters below the surface, the construction of this underground vault alone will take up to three months.

Compared with wooden buildings, the construction period of stone buildings is indeed long, but this long time is worth it. For example, the entire construction process of Rand Bank headquarters will take nearly two years, which is indeed protracted. However, once it is completed, unless it is in a war , or severe natural disasters, otherwise the whole building can be used for hundreds of years.

This is indeed a century-old plan.
