Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 97

In fact, Roque probably knew what kind of image the Chinese had in the hearts of white people at this time.

In 1913, the British novelist Sax Roemer created the book "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu". In the book, Fu Manchu is a tall, thin and bald man with two long brows standing upside down and a sinister face. He is known as the most evil character in the world.

This is the impression of the Chinese in the hearts of white people at this time, although in 1900, the fictional character Fu Manchu had not yet appeared.

According to the propaganda of the Expeditionary Force Command, Joubert was killed by Henry, a former colonial officer. In this way, the military will naturally have credit, at least it seems so.

In fact, Roque is also a former colonial officer, but the expeditionary force headquarters focused on Henry in order to highlight Henry, an Englishman.

In fact, everyone in the military knows that Joubert was shot dead by a group of Chinese policemen. Many people will probably be shocked when they hear the news. Joubert was shot dead by a former colonial officer. A group of Chinese police shot dead, which made many people unacceptable.

Rock's name was also widely spread in the process.

The major had obviously heard the legend of Roque, and he could also connect Roque with the legendary "Rock".

What the major didn't expect was that Roque was not only the policeman who could kill Joubert, but also the owner of the Oak Bar. The difference between these two identities was too great.

"Yes, I have a vineyard here - Henry, give our Mr. Major another glass of Elsie - try Mr. Major, this is my own wine." Rock is like a normal Vineyard owners, trying to sell their products.

"Elsdie, it's not bad." The major was very face-saving, and drank two glasses of wine in a row before reaching out to Rock: "My name is Bill Bradley, nice to meet you, Locke."

Yes, this is the normal process.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Major." Rock is very happy. For Bill, this is just a normal social behavior, but for Rock, it means that someone is finally willing to give Rock the respect he deserves.

"Tell me you killed Joubert, God, you don't know, this is crazy—" Bill wanted to say something, but looking around—

Well, the current Rock is more legendary than the legendary Rock.

A Chinese from the Qing Dynasty first served in the British colonial army, and then traveled across the ocean to Cape Town to work as a policeman. He occasionally went to the front line and made such great achievements as killing the commander-in-chief of the Boer coalition army. If you think this is the end of the story, Then you are obviously wrong, Rock is also a businessman, providing a rich spare time for the soldiers of the expeditionary force and the Cape Town police, and now Bill finds out that Rock is actually a farmer——

Life can always surprise people at any time, and the world is rewarding those who work hard.

In fact, Bill doesn't know enough about Rock. The vineyards in Rock's hands are increasing rapidly, from the initial 150 acres to the current 650 acres. Compared with ranchers, this number is nothing, but for vineyards According to the Lord, this area is too large. Nearly [-] acres of vineyards, including winemaking, require hundreds of workers. It is because there are enough people in the refugee camp that Roque dares to make drastic changes. Otherwise, Roque would not dare. If you buy so much, you will be condemned to waste it.

During this time, more and more Chinese police officers brought their families to Cape Town. Some of them settled their homes in Cape Town, and some sent their families directly to Oak Town. This is a good start, as long as these people settle down , Feedback the situation to the Qing Dynasty, then more and more Chinese will immigrate to Cape Town.

"Crazy indeed, when we were ordered from Dordrecht to the Kimberley—" Rock lit a cigar and said.

-

"Sorry, I didn't know it would happen." Li De lowered his head, not daring to look up at Rock, full of embarrassment.

Two months ago, Li De sent a telegram to his family, wanting his family to immigrate to Cape Town. Along with the telegram, Li De sent back ten pounds to Li De's family.

Ten pounds is equivalent to a full 100 oceans.

For an ordinary Qing family, this is definitely a huge sum of money.

Li De is from Shandong, an inconspicuous small mountain village with a total of only one hundred people. The people in the village usually make a living by doing short-term labor for nearby landlords. The per capita annual income is about two oceans, which is equivalent to a little more than two shillings. , still can't get a Manhattan at the Oak Bar.

Don't be too small, this is the living conditions of the Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when Li De sent 100 oceans home, it immediately caused a sensation in Li De's hometown.

It was really a sensation. People in Li De's hometown are used to working part-time at the landlord's house during the busy season of farming every year.

This kind of work is not often available. After all, the landlord’s family has no surplus food, and they do not hire people during the slack season. How cruel, but because the landlord is rich and unkind, everyone has nothing to eat, and you have surplus food in your family but you don’t share it with everyone. This is being rich and unkind——

If in the past, someone told them that there was a place that hired people to take care of food and housing and return a salary of 100 oceans a month, I am afraid they would not even believe the punctuation marks, but when Li De's family got a salary of [-] oceans At that time, people couldn’t help but believe in it, even real money——

If you don’t believe me, forget it, just treat it as a lie——

Some people don't believe it, and naturally some people do. Those who don't believe it all listen to it as a joke. Those who believe it will go to Li De's house every day, not to borrow money, but to ask Li De's family to help them when they go abroad to make a fortune. You can't bring your own family with you, at least, you can also bring your two stupid sons with you. They are half-baked, and they really can't afford to feed on me.

This is really not an exaggeration. The labor shortage in the 21st century was impossible 30 years ago. When people in the mainland wanted to go out to work, they would ask their grandpa to sue their grandma. If the relationship is not good, they will not take you to play. Son.

So when Li De's family boarded the boat, there were a total of six families who followed Li De's family to Cape Town to "beg for food", a total of more than 50 people.

When so many people arrived in Cape Town, Li De, who picked up the boat, was dumbfounded. Although the Cape colonial government would reimburse the boat ticket fee, how to eat for more than 50 people became a big problem. After all, those who had never even left the door Ordinary people are not qualified to apply for the Cape Town Police Department.

After thinking about it, Li De can only come to Rock. In Li De's concept, if he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, it must be right to come to Rock.

　These two days are really too fast, wait for next week, continue to add updates——
