Chapter 749 The Principal

As a victim of racial discrimination, Rock should oppose any form of racial discrimination.

This is actually the standard thinking of the weak, just like I am weak and I am justified. Even if you are stronger than me, you can't bully me just because I am weak.

Those who make the rules don't think so. The essence of jungle society is the survival of the fittest, and the weak are not even eligible to live. Just discrimination is kind enough.

Therefore, the most correct way to deal with discrimination should be to be ashamed and be brave, to defeat white people with the social rules set by white people, and then to treat others in their own way.

As for those who blame themselves all the time for not being able to make progress, and fantasize that one day they will wake up and the world will be united, they deserve to be discriminated against.

On the weekend, Rock went to Ade's house for dinner. After dinner, when Rock chatted with Ade, Ade raised a question whether to cancel the preferential immigration policy in southern Africa.

"Even if the status quo is not changed, our current immigration policy can only last for another two years at most. The ten states of the federal government, Cape, Natal, Orange, Transvaal, Rhodesia, Nyasaland , and Lorenzo Marquez have no extra land for distribution, Basutoland and Swaziland have no one to go to, and there is still a small amount of land in Bechuana State, but Bechuana State I can’t even pay for the resettlement of new immigrants, which has been paid by the federal government for the past few years. I originally wanted to bring up this matter at the joint ministerial meeting next month.” Ade still asked Roque for his opinion first, after all In recent years, most of the new immigrants in southern Africa are Chinese.

"Okay——" Rock was very happy, and it was enough for Ade to persist in asking this question until now.

"I thought you would disagree." In the past few years, Ade and Rock have been more and more distant, and they have become more strange to each other.

It was also because Rock was aware of this problem that he took the initiative to go to Ade's house for dinner. This is indeed an effective way to get closer to each other.

"How is it possible? In fact, Nyasaland has done this for a long time. At first, the Chinese families who immigrated to Nyasaland could get about [-] acres of land. Later, it was only [-] acres, and now only [-] acres are left." Rock originally didn't intend to keep collecting the wool of the federal government, and now the wool is almost gone.

"Ten acres?" The data given by Rock was different from Ade's impression.

"Ten acres is enough if you're just raising a family." Rock believed in the agricultural level of the Chinese.

In fact, it really doesn’t take much land to feed a family. In the densely populated areas of the Qing Dynasty, the average person has less than an acre of arable land, and they still can’t starve to death.

The key is all kinds of exorbitant taxes. For the self-cultivating farmers in the Qing Dynasty, even if they have ten acres of land, it is difficult to meet the needs of the family. It does not mean that no food can be grown in the land, but that the grain grown on the ten acres of land will be taken away for eight acres. , so you can only eat bran swallowing vegetables.

Farmers in southern Africa, if they don’t sell the food they grow, they hardly need to pay taxes, and they collect as much as their own. Therefore, there is no need for a hundred acres, and ten acres is enough to meet the needs of a family.

"How many lands do you have under your name now?" Ade was curious. Stoudemire used to be the largest landowner in southern Africa. Now the honorary title of Rock has been given to Roque. Even Ade doesn't know how many lands Roque has under his name. , The entire Nyasaland belongs to Rock, and Rock also controls two major lands through many companies, not only in southern Africa, but also in Madagascar, the Peninsula, and even East India. Rock has industries.

"I really don't know about this." Rock told the truth, Zach should know, but Rock didn't ask.

"I'm going to change the allocation into a sale—" Ade wasn't angry. Some things can't be taken too seriously. Sidney Milner is also a shareholder of Bechuanaland Agricultural Company.

Ade also knew that Sidney Milner was doing business with Rock, but Ade didn't ask. After all, Ade was only Sidney's nephew. Going to southern Africa has no credit or hard work. Ade himself feels guilty enough for not getting any benefits for Sidney Milner. If he even cares about this matter, he will be too harsh on Sidney Milner .

Who can have no selfishness? This is human nature.

Speaking of it, Ade is quite embarrassing enough. The previous immigration policy in southern Africa was to make new immigrants cheaper. If the allocation is changed to sale, it is equivalent to giving Rock and Stoudemire a chance for the landowners, and the land will be more concentrated in the in the hands of a few.

But if big landlords like Rock and Stoudemire don't buy it, they probably won't be able to sell it at a high price, so how to measure this speed is really a headache.

"Great, the Ministry of Defense can't even pay next month's salary—" Rock immediately began to complain, regardless of how much he could get, let's put his name first.

"Don't even think about it, think of a way by yourself—" Ade didn't talk nonsense, he said so much mainly to get along with Roque, lest Roque think too much, and immediately kick him out now that he has achieved his goal.

Sidney Milner sees Rock out.

"The USDA guy's idea—" Sidney Milner kept his eyes fixed.

Rock was not surprised. Before Louis Botha went to Nyasaland to inspect the state-owned farm, Rock had a premonition.

"Then why not just set up a state-owned farm?" Rock was curious, and it was probably not Louis Botha's suggestion to sell it directly.

"Minister Botha suggested the establishment of a state-owned farm." Sidney Milner sneered, and Ade was not easy to be fooled. Louis Botha's innocence could not be fooled by Ade's eyes.

To put it bluntly, it is still a question of the right to speak. Now the Ministry of Agriculture is just a decoration. If a state-owned farm is established, the status of the Ministry of Agriculture will rise. Ade really is not suppressing the Boers, but the Boers have never given up on the British over the years. Ade is well aware of the hatred between them.

In Ade's mansion, Rock and Sidney Milner couldn't talk too much, and left after a few words. Anyway, they had already got enough information.

When he got home, Philip was still awake and was playing chess with Gavin who had just returned to Pretoria.

Gavin played chess very well, and won the championship in the affiliated elementary school competition, but it must not be comparable to an old fox like Philip.

Philip is an old man, he obviously has the advantage but he just can't win, and he would give Gavin some food from time to time. Seeing Gavin yelling excitedly, he is about to make a comeback. Rock can only admit that Philip is better at taking care of children.

The girl is half lying on the sofa reading a novel. This posture is very unladylike, but neither Rock nor Philip dare to comment. Phyllis is pregnant again. "Spicy girls", so Phyllis's snacks these days are all kinds of spicy snacks.

"How do you feel today?" Rock conveniently put Felice's calf on his own and massaged it. According to current standards, Felice can also be considered an older woman, so be careful with her.

In fact, it doesn’t count. Phyllis just turned 26 when she married Rock, and she’s only [-] now. If it wasn’t for her daughter, she could still work hard.

Probably enjoying the feeling of being favored, after Roque pressed one, Phyllis immediately lifted the other one up.

Philip couldn't even care about playing chess, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.

"Is Nima also like this at home?" Philip's mood at the moment could not be said to be annoyed or happy, but most of the time he should be happy.

"It's even worse at home, and sometimes I have to give her a press." Gavin seized the opportunity to complain, and usually Rock would not dare to make decisions for him.

"It's outrageous!" Philip was angry, he picked up the queen and ate Gavin's king, and then called Rock to the study, leaving Gavin in a mess in the wind.

This family is not very friendly to children.

When Rock followed Philips to the study room, he didn't forget to take a bag of chicken feet with pickled peppers. The shelf in front of him was enough, and he still had to relax when he got home.

Sure enough, Phyllis had already started beckoning Gavin to beat his leg.

"Yang Smudge is going to London, you still have to be careful." Philip was also worried that Yang Smudge would be unfavorable to Rock in the future.

"It's okay, how dare a defeated general dare to speak bravely." Rock explained to Ade just now.

"Actually, it's a pity. Yang Smolts was born at an untimely time. If it wasn't for the Boer War, or because of you, Yang Smolts probably wouldn't have gone to London." Philip didn't worry too much, don't forget Philip used to work in the Colonial Affairs Department, and the Matilda family was also considered a native of London.

"If you can't change the environment, then you have to learn to adapt to the environment." Rock has no regrets. If Yang Smotz has the upper hand, then Rock may have the chance to go far away. .

"What about Louis Botha?" Philip is not a good person either. Cutting the weeds means eradicating the roots. This is the rhythm of killing everything.

"Louis Botha is more difficult to deal with than Jan Smudge, as long as he doesn't trouble me, I won't target him." Rock doesn't have much opinion on Louis Botha, at least Louis Botha can Communication, it is impossible for Roque to go to Orange to be the governor, rather than changing to an unfamiliar person as the governor, it is better to be Louis Botha.

"I want to change Owen's position, where do you think it should be?" Philip also had something to discuss with Rock, but the purpose of raising this question at this time is also very clear.

"You want Owen to go to the Ministry of Education?" Rock was surprised. Owen is the leader of the Liberal Party and the leader of the majority party in Congress. It is not impossible to go to the Ministry of Education. However, Owen has no experience in governing. If he goes to the Ministry of Education, he may be uncomfortable.

"No, no, the prime minister wants to invite Douglas to be the Minister of Education. If Douglas accepts the prime minister's invitation, who will be the president of Nyasaland University?" Philip would not let Owen go to the Ministry of Education to jump into the fire pit and go to Nyasaland How good the university is, in the future, graduates of Nyasaland University will call the principal when they see Owen——

The term is ambiguous and has been played out.
