Chapter 1154 Blame the colonial government's incompetence
Westerners always talk about "the sanctity of private property", but in fact they are all lies. Regarding this point, the British farmers who were driven out of their homes during the enclosure movement have something to say. Oklahoma, USA
Residents of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Massachusetts, also expressed their opposition. Those who live on the streets because they cannot pay property taxes will tell you the lies about "private property" in the West with facts.
The fact is, if you only have a dilapidated house, then the king will indeed not enter, but it is definitely not because you can't, but because this dilapidated house cannot produce value. If this dilapidated house is built next to Buckingham Palace, then you will definitely
Understand the truth about "private property".
When it comes to Nyasaland specifically, there is no need for George V to come in person. Roque and Kitchener are already presences that farmers cannot refuse.
In fact, they are a very ordinary farmer family. The farmer and his wife are less than 40 years old. The eldest son is married and stays on the farm to help. The second son is serving in the army. He retired after the World War and found a job in Los Angeles.
I work and can only go home on weekends. My other three children are in school.
In addition to the above five children, there are two babies in this family. Kitchina probably thought they were twins and casually said to the hostess: "Your grandson is so cute." As a result, the farmer and his family were a little embarrassed.
Rock asked casually, but Rock was also a little embarrassed.
Not twins, but uncle and nephew.
In fact, it is quite good. This fully shows that southern Africa has a prosperous population and a promising future.
In fact, after the end of the world war, the population of Southern Africa is about to experience explosive growth. A large number of babies will be born in the next two years. The Nyasaland State Government and the municipal governments of various cities have been well prepared. Not only the hospitals
To expand, schools also need to be expanded, and the demand for infant and child products will increase accordingly.
Kitchener didn't care how many people there were in the farmer's family. What he mainly observed was how much wealth there was on the farm.
The result shocked Kitchina. The farm he randomly selected covers a total area of 150 acres, with 35 cows, 140 sheep, more than 20 pigs, and hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese.
From the vegetable fields next to the house and the four full warehouses, we can see that the farm is doing well. Farms in Nyasaland use fast-growing forests as farm boundaries. Sometimes fruit trees are also used, and the fruits are also from the farm.
An important income, South African companies purchase it all year round, make it into cans and sell it all over the world.
"My life has been getting better and better in the past few years. I am planning to buy another farm for my eldest son and a house in Los Angeles for my second son. My daughter is about to graduate from the School of Finance and Economics. It is said that she has signed a contract with Nyasaland Company.
I have a contract of intent, and I will be able to work after graduation." The farmer was in high spirits, and took the initiative to bring out the home-brewed wine for Roque and Kitchener to taste. Wine has almost become a specialty of southern Africa, and almost every farm has a vineyard.
However, it is obvious that the wine made by the Chinese is different from the traditional wine made by the white people. The wine made by the white people is more dry red wine with no sugar or very low sugar content.
The wines made by the Chinese are basically semi-dry and semi-sweet, or simply sweet wines, which contain some sugar and are more acceptable to the Chinese.
Both Kitchen Sodium and Roque are suitable for drinking cold or cold. You can drink dry reds and sweet wines. Kitchen Sodium gave a good evaluation after tasting it.
Rock's evaluation is higher. He has milk to drink, meat to eat, and extra grain or fruit for making wine. This fully proves that the farm's operating conditions are normal.
"Is there any problem that you need my help to solve?" Kitchina is not finding fault, but really helping the farmer solve the problem. After all, the farmer is also British now.
After Luo Ke translated, the farmer looked panicked: "No, no - the people here are very nice, including the government. They help us build roads, help us get loans, and help us choose suitable breeding sheep and cattle.
——The Lord is our great benefactor——”
Roque won't translate the last sentence. In fact, there is a problem, but Roque can't solve it.
"If there is a problem, the main problem now is that the price of agricultural products has always been very low. Southern Africa is vast and sparsely populated. As farms become more and more mature, the supply of agricultural products becomes higher and higher, and prices continue to rise.
It's going down. Now because of the demand in Europe and India, this problem is not serious. It will be difficult to say in a few years." Roque knows the problem, but Roque has no solution.
In Roque's memory, the economic situation is expected to be better this year and next year because of the reconstruction of Europe, but an economic crisis is expected to break out in two years. By then, if the farms in southern Africa continue to develop according to the current situation, maybe by then
It does happen that farmers dump milk into the river.
It’s not that farmers would rather pour milk into the river than sell it to the poor, but that there are no real poor people in southern Africa. This is completely different from the situation in the United States where milk is poured into the river.
The reason why the operating conditions of farms in Southern Africa have been rising in recent years is mainly because from the outbreak of the World War until now, Southern Africa has exported a large amount of food to Europe and India. India is still in a state of famine, and millions of people starve to death every year.
People, Europe, especially Germany, are also in famine, and there will be no fundamental relief in the short term.
When Europe returns to normal in a few years, farm products from southern Africa will inevitably be unsaleable to a certain extent. Rock and Stoudemire are now committed to developing the Asian market, hoping that Asia will become another growth point by then.
"Yes, there are dozens of cows, more than a hundred sheep, and hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese. A family can't finish eating just eggs every day. We must pay attention to this issue." Kitchina is now the governor of Southern Africa.
, qualified to say this to Rock.
"We have thought of many ways to deeply process agricultural products and export them as much as possible. However, this problem still treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. To completely solve this problem, the main thing is to digest it internally. The population of southern Africa is still too small -" Roque
I know the solution and am working on a solution.
Agricultural products have a shelf life, even if they are processed into cans, they still have a shelf life.
Fortunately, there is no unified standard for food processing these days. Appropriate addition of some other ingredients can effectively extend the shelf life of food, otherwise this problem will be more serious.
Of course, these agricultural products with other ingredients added are basically not sold locally in Southern Africa. The farm products sold locally in Southern Africa must have nothing added. The milk produced on the farm will not be delivered to the homes of urban residents for more than 24 days.
Hour.
"Then you are driving Africans abroad?" Kitchener still doesn't understand why the federal government of Southern Africa did this.
These days, human resources are an expression of national strength. Just look at the importance the UK attaches to India.
What makes Kitchener confused is that Africans in Southern Africa are obviously very obedient and work hard no matter whether they are workers or soldiers, but the federal government of Southern Africa has always been very repulsive towards Africans. This really makes Kitchener wonder.
Sodium is incomprehensible.
"Otherwise, what should we do? We are different from Africans in terms of appearance, language, culture, and living habits. Since the federal government does not include Africans in statistics, then it should simply include Africans.
Separating from us is also the promise made by the federal government to Africans after the outbreak of the world war." Rock also learned the high-sounding white people. The same thing, explained from different angles, came to different conclusions.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Africans in southern Africa were actually just like slaves to white people. Before the federal government of southern Africa was established, some members of the British Parliament attacked the then British government because of this.
After the outbreak of the world war, the federal government of Southern Africa promised to return freedom to Africans in southern Africa after the war in order to recruit Africans to join the war. Now the federal government is fulfilling its promise.
Of course, those Africans probably didn’t realize that the so-called “freedom” was predicated on leaving southern Africa.
Fortunately, the current concept of nationality is not clear enough. Africans in southern Africa still exist in the form of tribes. This gives the federal government the greatest convenience in moving Africans to surrounding countries. Those Africans who leave southern Africa,
They have no idea what they have lost, and it will be several generations before their descendants realize this problem.
"Stupid! Since there are more and more agricultural products now, why not give these agricultural products to those Africans, so that we can continue to rule those Africans." Kitchina still wanted to face it, and did not directly use "squeezing" or "enslavement".
Words like "exploitation".
"Marshal, it is not a smart idea to continue to squeeze those Africans. Look at the Portuguese and Belgians before. Sooner or later, Africans will realize that their situation is unfair. How will this problem be solved then?" Roque changed the concept secretly.
, the situation in Portuguese East Africa and the Congo Free State really has little to do with the local Africans. Without someone's backing, the Africans in Portuguese East Africa and the Congo Free State would not be able to overthrow the Portuguese colonial government and the Belgian colonial government.
"You dare to say that what happened in Portuguese East Africa and the Congo Free State has nothing to do with you?" Kitchener didn't expect Roque to be so thick-skinned, and it was unusual for him to distort the facts like this without blushing.
Shameless.
"Of course not. If I were behind the scenes, I can guarantee that there would be not only Portuguese and Belgian people in Portuguese East Africa and the Congo Free State, but also Africans." Roque firmly refused to admit that he had any relationship with him.
Relations, the Portuguese and Belgians lost Portuguese East Africa and the Congo Free State because the local colonial government was incompetent and had nothing to do with Roque.
