Stellenbosch is located between Simonsburg and Parrot Hill, close to the Elsdee River, with mountains and water, sufficient sunshine and a suitable climate. In the 21st century, it is a famous tourist area in Cape Town.
Stellenbosch can become a tourist area. In addition to its world-famous wine, Stellenbosch also has a European-style architectural style. Of course, most of those buildings in the 21st century have not yet appeared. Today’s Stellenbosch
In Stellenbosch, there is no Stellenbosch University, no Marais Square, and no museum. The most magnificent building in the entire town is a church, and the roof of the church is not as high as the roof of Roque's house.
"It's such a shabby place. I really don't understand why you came here." From the moment he entered Stellenbosch, Henry covered his nose with a handkerchief, as if this could block the unpleasant smell.
It really smells bad. Too many vineyards have been abandoned, and the entire town is filled with the smell of rot, mixed with a bit of lees from failed fermentation. Even alcoholics don't like this smell.
Because Rock insisted, Henry had no choice but to agree, and within the scope of his authority, he obtained maximum support for Rock, such as doctors, medicines, and more food, which Stellenbosch urgently needed.
Henry is also very interesting. Rock led the team here, and Henry came with Rock without saying a word. Of course, don't expect Henry's attitude to be very good. Being able to come is already a great honor.
"Do you dare to make a bet with me? Within two years, I will turn Stellenbosch into a paradise." Roque started drawing cakes again, but the level was improved. In the past, the objects of Roque's cake drawings were Chinese policemen.
, now Henry.
Arriving in Stellenbosch, Rock only brought Anton's team, a total of eighteen Chinese policemen, plus two Boers in charge of logistics, as well as a cook, a doctor and two nurses.
That's all Rock's manpower.
"Heaven?! Hell is almost enough!" Henry didn't believe it at all. In Henry's view, Stellenbosch was now hell.
"Just wait and see." Rock was not in a hurry. Anyway, there are still more than two years until the end of the war. It would be good to stay in Stellenbosch for the past two years, at least he would not be used as cannon fodder and sent to the battlefield.
Now that he plans to stay in Stellenbosch permanently, Rock will of course make appropriate changes to Stellenbosch.
If it were before, Rock would still need to ask for the cooperation of the locals, but now there is no need. The local Boers were either thrown into refugee camps or fled overseas. Rock did not need to ask for anyone's opinion, just as Rock knew before
Yes, in Stellenbosch, Rock is the emperor.
"Oak Town has become a ghost town now. There are no people in these houses on the roadside. The former police chief lived in the church. If you want to live in the church, Mr. Inspector, I'm afraid you will have to find a few people to clean it."
The person responsible for introducing Rock was a Boer policeman named Jeffrey. There was a war going on between the British and the Boers, and the Boer policeman was also dispatched to Stellenbosch.
People in Cape Town always use the place name "Stellenbosch" when they mention Stellenbosch. Of course, you can't use it this way when you are in Stellenbosch. So these police officers working in Stellenbosch,
They all use the place name "Oak Town".
Very vivid, there are indeed many oak trees in Stellenbosch.
However, it is obvious that the current Oak Town is not even worthy of this name. There are about thirty or forty households in the entire Oak Town. It can be seen that the living conditions of these Boers are not very good. Most of the houses are in dilapidated condition, and some houses are dilapidated.
There is not even a door, and the windows are not made of glass, but are directly nailed with wooden strips. When they are opened, they can provide ventilation and light transmission, but when they are closed, the room will be completely dark.
In addition to these thirty or forty houses, there are also more than ten piles of ruins. These ruins are estimated to be the homes of the Boers who fled to the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State. The British never showed mercy to them.
If you run away and don't come back, there's no point keeping these houses.
"Oak Town, the name is good, but there are no people in the town, where can we find someone to clean it?" Rock has not yet entered the role, and his thinking is still in peace mode.
Jeffrey opened his mouth, but said nothing knowingly. He turned around and called over a dozen Boer girls.
They are really all girls. From Rock's perspective, they are no more than twenty years old. However, white girls develop earlier, so these girls may not have reached adulthood yet.
Different from the white girls in Rock's impression, these Boer girls lowered their heads and hunched their bodies, cleaning from outside the church, not sparing every corner. This kind of work is so serious and focused.
She is more serious than Ada when she puts on makeup in the morning.
Well, Rock has resumed his relationship with Ada and every other day, Rock goes to the Table Mountain Hotel.
Seeing these girls, Rock realized, yes, in Stellenbosch, the police are the emperors of the land. Even though there is no one in Stellenbosch, there will be thousands of people working for Rock at any time as long as Rock is willing.
There are now more than 2,000 Boer women and children in the Stellenbosch refugee camp, all of them women and children, no elderly or men.
"Reed, go back to Cape Town. Christian calls me. I want to build a house in Oak Town." Rock doesn't want to live in the church all the time. Rahul can make a living, but Rock doesn't. It's been more than two years.
, have been living in the church and thinking of yourself as God?
"Okay." Li De was a little hesitant. Christian is very busy now. There are more than twenty Chinese policemen waiting for Christian to build houses for them. The remaining Chinese policemen don't want to build houses for them, but they have no money.
The guy who was in a hurry to use the house borrowed it.
"It's okay, just call Christian over." Roque is not worried about delaying the progress. Christian's subordinates are all skilled workers. In order to further expand the team, Christian is also consciously training his deputies. Calling Christian over now will not work.
It affects the progress of building a house.
If there is anything bad about Stellenbosch, it is that it is a bit far from Cape Town, 55 kilometers. In the 21st century, it is just a step on the accelerator. In the early 20th century, Christian could not come until tomorrow.
In a short time, more than a dozen Boer girls cleaned the inside and outside of the church. Even by Roark's standards, they could not find any faults.
"Thank you very much, Jeffrey, how should I thank them?" Rock doesn't speak Dutch and can't communicate directly with these Boer girls. Of course, most of the time, there is no need to do this, because many Boers are accustomed to using English unless
It was when the Boers were together that they would use Dutch.
"Nothing is needed. Just give each person an extra piece of bread during dinner." Jeffrey's answer surprised Rock. They were both Boers. It seemed that Jeffrey didn't have much sympathy for these Boer girls.
