45 Diversion of trouble to the east (please subscribe)
If Colin Bellamy were British, he probably wouldn't like Albrecht Caussall, a German, very much.
This problem does not exist now. Colin Bellamy is a Boer, and Germany tended to favor the Boers in the Boer War, so Colin Bellamy happily accepted Albrecht Coul
Sol.
In addition to the hospital, Ziwei Town now has dozens of residents scattered here and there.
Hospital employees like Colin Bellamy and Dunn must have settled in Ziwei Town, and those Chinese police officers whose wives were pregnant also settled in Ziwei Town.
The future of Ziwei Town is very promising. Rock promised to build a school and laboratory in Ziwei Town for Albrecht Kausel, and Frank von Adelaide also built a church in Ziwei Town.
Christian also came to join in the fun, so he simply set up Christian Prospecting Company in Ziwei Town. Although the small Ziwei Town has less than a hundred permanent residents, it can already provide tax sources for the Johannesburg city government. This makes Philip
Mayor Matilda was full of praise.
Rock is also happy to see the progress of Ziwei Town. In order to further enrich the spare time life in Ziwei Town, Rock is planning to open a branch of the Oak Tavern to Ziwei Town. Of course, Joe Russell's cafe will also be included. How much money can he make?
It's not important. The key is that it can provide better services to residents and further enhance the charm of Ziwei Town. This is the most important thing.
Albrecht Kausor's home is next to the Ziwei Square next to the hospital. Roque was very generous and directly gave Albrecht Kausser a house with a garden and swimming pool.
Rock prepared dozens of houses specifically to attract all kinds of talents, and Douglas and his students also lived in such houses.
Looking back, Rock did not forget to urge Frank von Adelaide to continue hiring people. Each person he hired was worth one hundred pounds, and Rock would never default on the payment.
"Sir Locke, we don't need to take the initiative now, we just need to wait slowly." The priest is not in a hurry, Albrecht Abu is the horse bone bought by Locke's daughter, as long as Abu leaves his home in Ziwei Town
, Abu’s colleagues and students will naturally be attracted to them.
Ziwei Town has beautiful scenery, complete facilities, bright prospects, and the most important thing is the generous rewards provided by Luo Ke. As long as those people come to Ziwei Town, Luo Ke is sure to keep them.
Back in Johannesburg, Rock called Padbeck and asked him to come over.
Padbeck is the person in charge of Christian Construction Company in Johannesburg. Christian's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he spends most of his time in Pretoria, so Padbeck is in charge of Johannesburg.
Padbeck was also Rock's informant, and Rock was also very good at summoning Padbeck.
"Build a school and a laboratory in Ziwei Town as quickly as possible. Find the specific standards for Professor Abu and follow his requirements. At the same time, all the roads in Ziwei Town will be hardened." Rock said.
There were many demands and high standards, and Padbeck looked very embarrassed.
"Sir Locke, there are not enough building materials in Johannesburg. Due to the guerrilla attacks and intermittent railways, the progress of municipal projects cannot be guaranteed." Padbeck was not trying to push the envelope. In front of Locke, he did not dare.
To be honest, Johannesburg is a city with a very single function. The whole city is crazy about gold, and few people look in other directions. Therefore, most of the building materials needed for building houses in Johannesburg must be purchased from Cape Town.
Johannesburg itself cannot even provide the most basic wood for building houses, let alone hardened floors that require slate or cement.
Speaking of cement, in 1824, British construction worker Joseph Asperdin obtained the patent for Portland cement. Portland cement has excellent construction properties and is of epoch-making significance in the history of cement.
Rock's greatest strength was his excellent mobility. He immediately picked up the phone and called Henry.
"You're really crazy. You can just buy cement when you need it. Why build a cement factory? If you want to eat beef, you don't need to raise cattle yourself." Henry's thinking is the same as that of most Johannesburg people. He can't guard the gold mine.
It's crazy to dig and build a cement plant.
"You go find the technology, and I'll pay to put the cement plant in Favalte." Roque made an offer that Henry couldn't refuse.
Farwalt was Henry's fiefdom. Compared with the British mainland, Cape was originally a remote country.
Compared with Johannesburg and Pretoria, Wafalt is simply deserted.
After returning to Pretoria, Henry only visited Fawalt once, and then he lost any interest in Fawalt. Fawalt had no gold mines, no diamonds, and not even large-scale farms.
The two Zulu tribes are still in their primitive state. No wonder South Africa will establish a national park in Fawalt in the future.
National parks are probably the best fig leaf for deserted areas.
"Why bother with the cement factory? Aren't you buying farms all over the world? Go to Fawalt and do whatever you want." Henry was still lazy at heart. After receiving the title, Henry's life was complete.
With the title and social status, as the chief of police in Pretoria, he holds great power, and there is a steady stream of gold from the Matilda gold mine. Henry now has no desires and desires.
If you put it this way, Rock should actually have no desires or desires now.
However, Rock was obviously more ambitious than Henry. Henry did not need to seek benefits for the British, but Rock was responsible for the Chinese in Johannesburg.
"The gold mine will eventually be dug out. Both Pretoria and Johannesburg are being rebuilt. You can ask Christian how much cement is needed. As long as the cement plant is built, then the cement plant will be a new gold mine." Rock
To be honest, if the cement plant had not caused too much pollution, Rock would have placed the cement plant directly in Johannesburg instead of in Fawalt.
Because of the Chinese in Johannesburg, Rock has a clear positioning for Johannesburg. Apart from those mines, Rock will never bother with highly polluting basic industries, cement plants, and future textile factories in Johannesburg. They must stay away from Johannesburg. Relatively speaking,
That said, Favart is a very good choice.
There is also Pretoria between Fawalt and Johannesburg, so even if the pollution in Fawalt is serious, it will not affect Johannesburg. The railways and transportation around Johannesburg and Pretoria are still very developed.
Very convenient, the distance is nothing.
Of course, for these reasons, Rock will definitely not tell Henry. Rock is now under the banner of creating profits for Henry. Fawalt is Henry's fief, so all the output of Fawalt is Henry's fief income. This
That is the meaning of fiefdom.
No one would mind having too much money. Those who keep saying that money means nothing to them will definitely not be happy if you ask them to donate all their wealth.
The same goes for Henry. After he figured out the demand for cement in Pretoria and Johannesburg, Henry also became active. For Henry, a baron, it was easy to buy the patent rights for cement. In just half a month, Henry hired the technology
The personnel arrived in Pretoria from the British mainland and the cement plant started construction immediately.
Rock was only responsible for paying for it and didn't care about anything else. After discussing the cement plant with Henry, Rock put the cement plant behind him and went back to perfecting Ziwei Town.
Watching a city rise from the ground with your own eyes is still a great sense of accomplishment. Although Ziwei Town is not yet a city, it is just a town at best, but Luo Ke still enjoys it.
Colin Bellamy's efficiency was still very high. The day after Rock left, Colin Bellamy hired ten Aunt Boole with fleshy faces and a body similar to a door panel.
The soft-bodied goddess in uniform was replaced by a sumo wrestler, and the wounded soldiers in the hospital almost rioted.
The importance of physical strength was demonstrated at this time. When the three wounded soldiers who were the ones who started the trouble were directly picked up and thrown out of the ward by the aunt, in just one morning, more than half of the hospital beds were empty.
Marcus Lloyd, who was invited to tea by Rock, turned as red as a monkey's butt.
The soldiers who were thrown out of the ward by Auntie were all from the Royal Canadian Regiment.
"You see, 150 million pounds is such a waste." Marcos Lloyd laughed at himself. The performance of the expeditionary force in the Boer War was indeed unsatisfactory.
Rock smiled and said nothing. The Boer War brought more than just high military expenses to Britain.
"We are also debating at home whether this war is meaningful or not." Marcos Lloyd was not talking about Britain, but Canada.
"There must be some meaning. At least this war has maintained the unity of the empire and confirmed the interests of the empire." Rock was also telling lies with his eyes open, but this was necessary for political correctness.
If we don't talk about these scenes, then the significance of the Boer War is probably to remove the fig leaf of Britain, expose the true strength of the British army, and objectively promote the disintegration of the British Commonwealth system.
Australia had just gained autonomy a few months ago. If the British government had not focused its attention on the Boer War, it would not have been so easy for Australia to gain autonomy.
"Haha, Sir Locke, you are right." Marcus Lloyd is also a wonderful person. Even if Locke is telling lies with his eyes wide open, Marcus Lloyd will also agree with him.
This is the role of knighthood. Marcus Lloyd also received a knighthood some time ago, but unfortunately he was only a knight, not as good as Roque's baronet.
"The war may be over soon. Do you want to go back to Canada after the war?" To be honest, Rock also likes the current situation. Because of military control, Rock can do whatever he wants.
"Of course, Johannesburg is beautiful, but Canada is equally beautiful." Marcos Lloyd will not miss Johannesburg.
In fact, if he had a choice, Roque would not stay in Johannesburg... m.
