The place where Yaya lives is a suburban manor about 20 kilometers away from the city center of Ulysses. The manor covers an area of about thirty acres. Yaya's family and Yaya's three horses live here.
Unfortunately, even with Yaya's status and strength, this manor does not nominally belong to Yaya, but was purchased by Yaya in the name of his lawyer Ma Nan.
Ma Nan is of Chinese descent.
In the evening, Yaya and Mumu went to the horse farm for a walk together. Yaya hired 9 people to take care of his six horses, all of them were white people. There were nearly a hundred people working for Yaya in the entire manor, and most of them were white people.
Chinese.
"Do you know why?" Yaya was wearing a tight riding suit and riding a white thoroughbred horse for a walk on the track.
"Why, take revenge on white people? You are really evil." Mumu did not understand the core of Yaya's problem.
"——In fact, neither whites nor Africans are welcome in Nyasaland. If you look carefully, you will find that only Chinese can purchase assets in Nyasaland without restrictions. If not, the manor I live in now would
In the name of Manan, we are not eligible to buy at all, so leaving southern Africa is not the worst choice for us. If you don’t believe it, ask the Obindu people in West Africa. Every one of them wants to leave West Africa. No more
Accepted the slavery and oppression of the Portuguese, but the Portuguese did not allow them to leave, because after the Ofindu people left, the Portuguese would mine and grow their own cotton - compared with the Ofindu people, the southern Africans are very kind.
"Yaya's evaluation of the federal government in southern Africa is quite good. In fact, in 1917, it was the only one in southern Africa that could achieve this level of government.
"Why can't we live in peace, just like the former Glory Castle and Nyasaland-" Mumu hadn't figured it out yet, he really didn't understand this.
"Because of resources, Africa is now quite rich in resources, which can ensure that we have no worries about food and clothing, but as time goes by, our population will become more and more, and the average resources will become less and less for each person. On the other hand,
Chinese and white farms are expanding, guess what will happen?" The horse Yaya rides is very obedient, tall, handsome, calm and unhurried, showing the style of a famous horse.
Mumu and his horse did not cooperate well. Mumu had to tighten the reins to control the speed and direction of the horse. This made Mumu's horse feel very uncomfortable and became more and more irritable.
"Loosen the reins a little and don't put too much pressure on it. If you make it feel uncomfortable, it will make you uncomfortable too." Yaya has a tendency to develop in the direction of a wise man, and everything he says begins to have metaphors.
Mumu said nothing and did as Yaya said, and the horse gradually calmed down.
"Don't expect our generation to live in peace. Send your children here later. I will find a way for them to receive education in Nyasaland. When our children grow up, maybe we can strive for more
A good life." Yaya has ideals, and the more she learns about Nyasaland, the more Yaya becomes amazed at Nyasaland's strength.
"Can you send your children to school?" Mumu was surprised. He definitely wanted his children to receive education in Nyasaland, but Nyasaland does not open educational resources, and Africans cannot enjoy the education level of Nyasaland at all.
.
It is not that Mumu has not considered this issue. Mumu once imitated Nyasaland’s public education system in the area controlled by Glory Castle and tried to establish Glory Castle’s own public education.
This plan has not been implemented at all. Some things are really not what you want to learn. After Mumu learned about Nyasaland’s investment in public education, he immediately gave up the idea. The reason was no other than lack of money and the inability to build it.
rise!
"Of course you can, as long as you pay enough." Yaya's own children attend public schools in Ulysses, and the annual cost per child is about one thousand rand.
Mumu didn't know how much Yaya had to pay to send her children to school, but it was worth it. Mumu didn't want her children to be enslaved like Africans today when they grow up.
"If we build a country of our own, can we make it as prosperous as Nyasaland?" Mumu thought a little far, and now it seems there is little hope.
"It's impossible. Look at the current Kingdom of Congo and the Kingdom of Mozambique. They have been independent for so long and are still in the same state. The Congolese people are indeed very miserable under the rule of the Belgians. Now that there are no Belgians, the Congolese people will never be the same again.
You will work hard. When the Belgians ruled the Congo Free State, the Congo Free State could export tens of millions of pounds of supplies to Europe every year. But now? Not even 100,000 pounds. You can’t blame the Belgians." Yaya to Africa
We know very well the problems that exist in people, and there is almost no possibility of solving those problems in a short period of time.
This is the current situation in these African countries. During the period of white rule, the oppression of Africans caused great suffering to Africans.
After the white people left, Africans were unable to build the country and were not even willing to do the most basic jobs. Their living standards returned to the slash-and-burn state they had before the white people came to Africa.
That’s not right. Although slash-and-burn farming is a bit backward, there is “cultivation” and “planting” after all. In the Republic of Congo today, the plantations built during the white rule are basically on the verge of abandonment. The only railway in the country was built two years ago.
It was destroyed by floods during the rainy season and has not yet been repaired.
Compared with the Republic of Congo, the economy of the Kingdom of Mozambique has improved somewhat.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Mozambique has provided raw materials and labor force to southern Africa, and the domestic aristocracy has lived a happy life. However, for ordinary Africans, life has hardly changed. Without the Portuguese, Africa has successfully ascended to power.
Human beings simply have no ability to govern the country. Those tribal chiefs exploited ordinary Africans just as well as the Portuguese, and even went further.
"The most important issue now is education. Only after education reaches a certain level can we change our living environment. Look at Ulysses now. Life here is like paradise for many people, but
If you replace all the residents of Ulysses with your Tetera people, can you ensure the smooth operation of this city?" Yaya also earnestly stated that it is a good thing to have ideals, but you must also have enough ability to support them.
"Of course!" Mumu still doesn't understand the relationship between ideals and abilities.
"Haha, are you sure you live in a city like this where the people under you are willing to get up before dawn every day to clean the house? Are they willing to go fishing regardless of wind or rain? Are they willing to work on the assembly line for more than twelve hours a day?
They can't even go to the toilet to relieve themselves. How do you ensure that they can do the above things?" The problem in Yaya is acute. Beautiful and clean cities are built on the hard work of countless people. If replaced by Africa
People live in Ulysses, and within a week Ulysses will turn into a huge garbage dump.
"If they don't want it, I will force them to do it with a gun." Mumu believes in using force to solve all problems.
"Then what's the difference between you and white people?" Yaya's words left Mumu speechless.
The walk lasted until Yaya's children got out of school.
Yaya has a total of 12 children. The eldest child, Wolf, is already in middle school and will take the high school entrance examination next year. Even if he fails, Yaya will spend money to send Wolf to Nyasaland University.
Wolfe, who has received a systematic education freely, has a different temperament from other children who have not received education. Nyasaland's school uniform is a black Western-style suit, complete with jacket, vest, and shirt. These clothes are all under the name of Ada
The clothes are provided by the clothing factory, and the styles are updated in time every year. Wolff is definitely not lacking in nutrition. Although he is still underage, his figure is taller than Yaya and Mumu.
When Wolf saw Mumu, he greeted Mumu politely, which set him apart from other African teenagers.
"Come here Wolf, let me take a good look at you. It's great. You are already so tall now, and you will definitely be better than me and your father in the future." Mumu's reason was a bit strange. Being tall does not necessarily mean you are outstanding.
"Uncle, you and my dad are both my idols." Wolfe responded appropriately. Let's not talk about whether he is outstanding or not. There is definitely no problem in dealing with others.
"Hahahaha, tell me, what did you learn in school?" Mumu laughed loudly. This is not considered flattery. Everything he and Yaya have now is almost the best of Africans in this era.
The next step is to really become the king as Yaya said.
"We went to visit a woodwork factory today. In the woodwork factory, I really wanted to make a pipe for my father. Unfortunately, my skills were not good enough and the pipe I made was unusable, so I bought a new one for my father. I'm sorry, uncle.
, I didn't expect you to come -" Wolfe does have a high emotional intelligence. If he says something to his face, he won't make people annoying, but if he keeps it secretive, he won't be candid enough.
But when Wolfe took out the pipe, there were two. One was the kind of wooden pipe sold in stores, and the other was obviously of poor workmanship and was not even qualified to be put on the shelf.
Yaya laughed loudly and took both pipes, giving the better-looking one to Mumu and keeping the one with poor workmanship.
"Aren't you going to school? Why are you going to visit the woodwork factory?" Mumu didn't understand the significance of social activities for students, and maybe she thought it was not doing their job properly.
"It was organized by our school. We have visited many factories. The teachers want us to understand the meaning of work and understand how hard parents work-" Wolfe was a little embarrassed when he spoke. It was obvious that Yaya
Not the hard-working kind of person.
This time Yaya and Mumu both laughed and fell silent after laughing.
