Chapter 636 Unsatisfactory

In this era, Rock's views on Africans have actually changed a lot.

Africans in another time and space are lazy, unenterprising, selfish, and suffer from various diseases. Everyone avoids them and becomes a social cancer.

Africans in this time and space are taciturn, hard-working, selfish and suffering from various diseases, but they are not spoiled by the high welfare of the society, and they are not a social cancer.

Although Nyasaland also refuses Africans to settle down, Roque cannot deny that Africans have played a very important role in the development of Nyasaland. While the Chinese are working hard to build Nyasaland, Africans are also Worked hard and shed blood to build Nyasaland.

In more virgin lands for colonization, Africans are the first to complete the infrastructure construction, and then the Chinese move in in batches, so many people do not understand why Rock rejects Africans. Some people in Nyasaland even suggested that Africans should be allowed Settling down will be more conducive to the future of Nyasaland.

Such suggestions are made by white people, and they are not hypocritical. The starting point is that they made such suggestions because of free labor.

But including Roque, all Chinese know the truth that people who are not of our race must have different hearts, so Nyasaland is very persistent on this issue.

There are white people in Nyasaland. On the one hand, it is because of the technology of white people. On the other hand, a certain number of white people is needed to balance the population ratio of Nyasaland.

As for the blacks, Rock will not explain that in southern Africa, Africans do not have any privileges. On the contrary, they will be punished more severely after breaking the law. As a minority, they will not receive any care. Subsidies, adults have to pay a lot of head tax if they don't work, Southern Africa is the southern Africa of whites and Chinese, even the southern Africa of Gurkha mercenaries, but not Africans.

Since the beginning of this year, a considerable number of Gurkhas and Chinese who immigrated to southern Africa have come to Bechuanaland to start a new life.

More than 60.00% of the land in Bechuanaland now belongs to Bechuanaland.

Bechuanaland is the former Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company. Since the business of Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company is not limited to Bechuanaland State, Rock simply split Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company into several In different parts, Bechuanaland Company was established in Bechuanaland, Orange Company was established in Orange, and all businesses in Cape Town were owned by Cape Company. compete.

Limited to the situation in Bechuanaland, cattle raising has become one of the few options for farms in Bechuanaland. Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company has more than 50 acres of pastures around Rhodes, and more land is still being developed , the new immigrants who came to Bechuanaland were basically employees of the Bechuanaland Agricultural Development Company.

These new immigrants in Bechuana State are under the double care of Bechuana State Government and Bechuana Company. The state government will bear part of the settlement costs of new immigrants. Bechuana Company provides job opportunities for new immigrants so that they can work in Bechuanaland live on.

While the Northern Rhodesian Division was training in the Okavango Swamp, a colonial development team from Nyasaland finally arrived at the border between northern Pena State and German Southwest Africa after more than half a month of trekking. Many river basins.

The Kuando River originated in Portuguese West Africa, with a total length of [-] kilometers, flowing through Southwest Africa, Bena, Rhodesia, and then into the Zambezi River.

This colonial pioneering team consisted of 120 people, which was almost equivalent to a standard company. There were four whites in the team, nearly twenty Chinese, and the rest were all African workers.

"This is area 1065?" Mike Kelley, the only Englishman in the team, didn't care to appreciate the original ecological scenery around him, and was confirming the location with a map.

"Don't worry about it, do you still have the strength to move forward?" Captain Ryan jumped off the bullock cart, took off the fisherman hat on his head to fan the wind, then glanced at the big sun above his head, shook his head and put the hat back on .

"Whatever, it's here, I want to take a good shower, twelve, go get me some water—" Technician Jackson also jumped out of the bullock cart, he was sweating profusely, and he could see it from ten meters away Smell that indescribable body odor.

A thin young black man ran towards the river without saying a word, carrying a huge bucket. He was twelve. Many Africans in the colonization team did not have names, so they used numbers instead. People are insulting, including Twelve himself, who doesn't think so.

"Then set up camp here. The security team picks up your rifles to set up a cordon. The technical team finds a suitable place to set up the tent. The support team prepares dinner. Thirteen, did you see the group of antelopes? Find a way to get them back A few, I want to eat roast leg of lamb tonight—" Ryan continued a series of orders, and the whole team immediately became busy.

"The soil quality is not bad, it should be suitable for reclamation—" While waiting for a bath, Jackson had already started to work.

"It's definitely good. Since we can grow grass, we should be able to grow crops. Look at the trees here. You can't see the edge at a glance. If you replace them with fruit trees, tsk tsk, it will be no problem to feed 10 people." Ryan was surprised Strange, Africa is indeed too rich, resulting in the creation of unmotivated Africans.

It's understandable when you think about it, you can live comfortably by picking fruits and hunting, who would work so hard to grow food——

Here, hunting is simple and outrageous, perhaps because no humans have ever appeared here, so wild animals have no defense against humans at all. Thirteen and a dozen Africans used rope nets to surround a few trees to form a circle. Then, with only one apple, it is easy to lure a group of antelopes into the rope net. In the next few days, this group of antelopes will become a delicacy on the table of the pioneers.

"This is for you Chinese, you have to know that before you Chinese came to southern Africa, such conditions did not have any development value in the eyes of white farmers—" Jackson has now been conquered by the Chinese talent in agriculture , no matter what kind of land, it will shine in the hands of the Chinese.

In fact, the conditions in the Kuando River Basin are not good. There is the largest Okavango Swamp in the world nearby, and the Makadi Kadi Salt Flat, which is also the largest in the world. However, the Kalahari Desert occupies 80.00% of the area. , the current area is still small, most of which are in the western region bordering Southwest Africa.

The vegetation in the Kuando River Basin does look good, but there are large and small gravels everywhere on the ground. The whites and Africans probably don't have the mood to clean up the gravel, so this land has no development value.

For the Chinese, let alone a little bit of gravel, even a mountain of rocks can be removed bit by bit if necessary, so this problem is not a problem for Ryan.

I just kicked away a few pieces of gravel on the ground, and what came into view was the sandy land exuding the fragrance of the soil. There is no problem at all with this kind of soil for planting crops.

These crushed stones will not be wasted. With the arrival of the colonial development team, residential areas and roads and railways will be built in area 1065, and these crushed stones can be fully utilized.

A hundred and ten people worked together, and before dark, a temporary camp consisting of more than a dozen tents had been set up.

After nightfall, bonfires are lit around the camp. These bonfires can effectively prevent wild animals from attacking. The dozens of bonfires on the African savannah at night are still very conspicuous. Outside the bonfires is endless darkness, and there are faint blues everywhere. Or dark yellow eyes flickering on and off.

On the bonfire in the center of the camp, two fat antelopes have been roasted to a golden brown, and bean-sized fat drips on the blazing bonfire, and people around the bonfire are chatting and laughing wantonly.

On nights like this, in Bechuana, in Rhodesia, in Nyasaland, throughout southern Africa, hundreds of these colonizing parties are busy,

"How many people can we accommodate here? Looking at it like this, 1 people should be no problem." Ryan is writing a report, 1 people is definitely not possible, there are not so many people coming, and finally a basically complete colonial development point, only Twenty or thirty families will be resettled, and the population is only about one to two hundred people.

"10 people are fine. Do you know how big this area is? Even without considering the Okavango Swamp, and then excluding the Makadikadi Salt Flats, the developable land here is more than [-] square kilometers. Two families per square kilometer, how many people do you think can be housed?" Jackson laughed out loud, and liked watching Ryan scratching his head while writing the report.

Two families per square kilometer sounds a bit extravagant, but in fact, one square kilometer is only 247 acres. Bechuanaland now allocates [-] acres of land for every immigrant family it accepts, so it is not difficult to resettle two families per square kilometer. Not too much.

The family in this period is not a family of three. It is normal for a family of four generations to have dozens of people. However, in Bechuanaland, the situation of such a large family has improved. After the family came to Bechuanaland, they would declare according to the actual situation. As a result, it was very common for a family to get four to five hundred acres of land.

Of course, Bechuanaland also has requirements for this situation. If the land obtained by immigrant families is not developed within five years, the state government will take it back.

In fact, this point has almost no effect when it is actually implemented. The so-called development does not require all of it to be developed into arable land, and development into pastures is also development.

"These new immigrants are really lucky—" Ryan couldn't help but sigh, if this situation doesn't lead to a good life, then he can only blame himself for not living up to expectations.
