Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 58 Human Traffickers

"Eighty oceans, that's the price two years ago, I'm afraid I can't buy it now." After hearing what Roque said, Liang Dingxin didn't dare to agree immediately, but he didn't dare to refuse either. Liang Dingxin didn't refuse Roque courage.

This is the first time Liang Dingxin has come to Rock's dormitory, the spacious suite, Liang Dingxin doesn't know how big Rock's bedroom is, the living room is larger than the dormitory where Liang Dingxin lives.

Like the living room of the British officers' dormitory that Liang Dingxin visited, Rock's living room is fully furnished. Although the sofa and coffee table are not old, they are cleaned cleanly. There is a antique shelf on the wall behind Rock. , there are wooden boxes for cigars and some unknown bottles of foreign wine in several compartments. On the wall opposite Liang Dingxin is a picture of a Caucasian woman with most of her back exposed. Liang Dingxin knows that this is from foreigners. I don't know the painting method, but I don't know what the painting is called, let alone where Roque got it.

As an interpreter for Hua Yongying, Liang Dingxin is no stranger to the population trading market in the Qing Dynasty. It is true that 80 oceans can buy a woman, but the appearance and figure are not to be discussed. If you want better quality, the price will be corresponding Improvement, Liang Dingxin doesn't know what Rock's bottom line is, but Rock already has an official status, so he should look down on those vulgar fans.

"Don't worry, [-] oceans is indeed the price two years ago, but the current price can't be higher, maybe you can't use up [-] oceans, and the British will reimburse you for the ferry tickets sent over, and you won't be able to let them go for nothing. Busy work, you send someone, I'll give you ten pounds, and the rest is yours." There are some things that Rock can't say, and if he says it, he will reveal the secret.

The current Qing Dynasty is at the most intense stage of the Boxer Movement. After New Year’s Day, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy and other countries will jointly send a note to the Qing government, demanding that the Boxer Regiment be banned, and a war will be provoked in May. At that time, the entire northern part of the Qing Dynasty would be engulfed in flames of war, and human life—it would only become cheaper and cheaper.

"Don't dare, dare not, how dare Liang take advantage of Master Luo." Liang Dingxin was worried. It seemed easy to make money, but it was full of risks. It was easy to buy people from the Qing Dynasty, and it was easy to send people on board, but Liang Dingxin couldn't guarantee that he would arrive in Cape Town safely. If something went wrong, who would be to blame?

"You don't have to worry. There are too many ships from Cape Town to and from the Qing Dynasty. There will be one every three to five times. They are all big ships that cannot pass through the Suez Canal. I will explain to the ship and send me a telegram when you send people on board. If there is any problem on the road, I will blame it." Rock is not worried about not being able to find a ship, Cape Town is the only way for giant ships to go back and forth between Europe and Asia, and Rock is now considered a local snake in Cape Town, and the merchant ships that come and go will not refuse Rock's request, otherwise it wouldn't be too easy for Rock to find trouble with them.

"It's so good, it's so good, Master Luo, don't worry, Liang will definitely do his best to send him over as soon as possible." Liang Dingxin answered this very happily, and there is no room for Liang Dingxin not to agree, as long as Liang Dingxin still wants to go to England Liang Dingxin didn't dare to offend Rock because of his job.

It's a very simple truth, ten pounds is almost equivalent to one hundred oceans, and it takes eighty oceans to buy a woman. Liang Dingxin can easily earn twenty oceans from it, which is more than Liang Dingxin's salary as a translator Even higher, Liang Dingxin had no reason to refuse.

What's more, Roque has been naturalized in Cape Town, and now he can be regarded as a "foreigner". Although Liang Dingxin has contempt for Roque in his heart, Liang Dingxin dare not show it on the surface. Roque is now the police chief. He saved the Governor of Cape Town, the Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, and a bunch of other big figures. Liang Dingxin would never dare to offend such people who are about to rise to prominence.

"Okay, then don't worry, don't worry, this is a long-term business, we don't want one or two, we need as much as we have, and we may grow young men in the future, as long as you work hard, you can earn this money for a lifetime "Rock gave Liang Dingxin a reassurance that one person was worth twenty oceans. The more you sent, the more Liang Dingxin would earn. Rock firmly believed that Liang Dingxin had no reason to refuse.

The universal values ​​of this year are like this. Rock is a human trafficker in the 21st century, and it is a matter of course in the [-]th century. Especially in Africa, black slave trading is the tradition of African colonists. If you want to calculate it this way, all white people in Africa Everyone is guilty, one is counted as the other, and no one is innocent.

"May I ask, Master Luo, why do you want so many people?" Liang Dingxin couldn't hold back his curiosity after all. Liang Dingxin can understand that Rock wants to buy ten or eight. According to Rock, the more Rock is, the better. It really aroused Liang Dingxin's curiosity.

"Hehe, Lao Liang, do you think how many of us are there in the Cape Town Police Station now? There will be more and more of us in the future. With so many young men, we can't all be bachelors. Our people settle down here. Maybe I have to buy another [-] mu of land to live the addiction of being a landlord. Don’t we need tenants for so many lands? It’s better to hire people from our hometown if we expect those blacks or Boers to cultivate the land. Foreigners don’t know how to do it. Serve the crops." Luo Ke's words and sentences were as down-to-earth as possible, and his words showed a disdain for foreigners, which made Liang Dingxin fascinated.

For most Chinese, they have not had much contact with foreigners, and they don't have much antipathy towards foreigners.

In fact, in the current Qing Dynasty, the people who are most disgusted with foreigners are Liang Dingxin and others who deal with foreigners every day, including Rock, who seems to have devoted himself to the British. His contempt for Westerners is also from the bottom of his heart. The Chinese have been rich for thousands of years. , That is to say, bad luck in the past few hundred years has made foreigners rich. For all Chinese, foreigners are out-and-out upstarts.

"Master Luo, it may not be possible for black or white people to farm land, but it is fun to use. Let's make a living overseas and hire white people to farm land for us. Think about it." I really didn't see that Liang Dingxin was also a man with ideals.

Thinking about it carefully, this is really the case. The Chinese are good at farming, but to maintain their appearance, they still have to hire white people, just like Rock hired Zack's family as servants. If Rock hired Indians or blacks, then Henry Even if you don't say it, you will definitely despise Roque in your heart.

This sounds a bit snobbish, but it is actually the case. Regardless of practicality, if Rock buys a family business in the future, he really intends to keep hiring poor Boers. After all, Boers are also white.

"Hehe, if you want to enjoy yourself, you might as well become a naturalized Cape Town, and then you will be a foreigner when you return to the Qing Dynasty. If you buy a farm in Cape Town in a few years, you can also enjoy the addiction of commanding foreigners." Rock said, Inadvertently planted a grass in Liang Dingxin's heart.

　There will be more changes tomorrow, such a diligent fish head deserves a recommendation ticket reward! ! !
