Money attracts people's hearts. As long as Zach doesn't get the money and run away immediately, Rock can basically establish initial trust in Zach.
Compared to the Chinese police in Cape Town, Zach and Rock are closer, so Rock needs to ensure Zach's loyalty before he can safely let Zach live in his home.
Yes, servants have to live in the master's house, but in Roque's house, the previous owner did not find any room prepared for the servants.
This is understandable. Smugglers do a lot of things shady, so it's normal not to have servants at home.
If Rock wants to build a penthouse, he can let Zach live in it. Anyway, Rock has planned a guest room in the penthouse, so there is no problem in giving one to Zach. Besides, Zach also has a mother and sister in Cape Town. If Zach
If Ke shows that he can trust Rock, then Rock can let Zach's mother and sister live in his home.
Of course, it is also in the capacity of a servant. After all, Roark's house is too big. Zach alone may have a lot of work to do. Generally, a mansion like this requires a gardener, a coachman, a cook, and more.
A maid is enough, and a housekeeper may be needed, but that is too far away for Rock. Now, Rock's family employs servants, which is no longer in line with Rock's status. He is just a policeman, and he can be compared to it.
Are nobles more luxurious?
I'm afraid August Russell's family didn't even employ five servants. Of course, August Russell's salary and level were certainly enough. The salary of the police chief was more than 1,000 pounds a year, and there was also a huge gray income. No matter how much he paid,
Wherever you go, there are high-income people.
In the evening, Rock was just getting ready to rest when Li De brought bad news to Rock.
Just now, Luo Yi and two other colleagues, who were dazzled by money, went to the dock to make a plan. As a result, they were caught on the spot by Sharma and others. Sharma took Luo Yi and the others back to the police station, claiming that he wanted to report to Austin
·Pence reported on Luo Yi and their actions.
"Luo Yi and the others went too far. They made two hundred pounds and didn't stop. Sharma appeared very suddenly. Our people didn't have time to come forward. Luo Yi and the others were taken away by Sharma. Mr. Luo,
We have to fish out Luo Yi and the others quickly, otherwise, if Luo Yi and the others are imprisoned on Robben Island, Luo Yi and the others will be doomed." Li De heard Tang En talk about the cruelty of Robben Island, which made Li De
It refreshed the understanding of the British. In Li De's impression, the British were actually quite good.
This is not just because the British gave Li De a job. The British have always been very generous to their own people. In the past, in the Huayong Camp, the British used many wooing measures in order to appease the Huayongs. It was the same in Cape Town.
As long as the Chinese are naturalized, the British will never be stingy when it comes to salary increases. The Chinese policemen have a lot of benefits that other people have. This is really different from the Qing officials who drank the blood of soldiers and took empty pay.
Speaking of this, I have to lament that the Qing Dynasty's attitude towards the Chinese was really worse than even the British.
"What the hell, I told you earlier that the Indians are staring at us. Let them calm down for a while. We can't even wait for this time. We deserve to die!" Roque couldn't help but swear, but people have to fish for it. If Luo Yi and the others
If you don't get caught, if you make money, Roque will definitely be indispensable. Although Roque doesn't like the money now, for the British and Indians, the Chinese are one, so Roque can't ignore it.
In fact, Rock really doesn't want to worry about it. You have to have a certain amount of money when making money. You can't catch a sheep and cut it into a geyou. You can't go to the dock to set up traps every day. Even if there are no Indians watching, you can't go every day. In fact, Rock
We are not even ready to set up traps. The appearance characteristics of Chinese people are too obvious, and white people are not fools. Everyone knows that the Chinese in Cape Town are policemen. Going to the dock to set up traps every day is seeking death. It is not such a corrupt method to ruin the reputation of Chinese people.
, if you want to make money, it would be great to find a way to catch smugglers. You can make money and make meritorious deeds at the same time.
In fact, Rock can also understand that the fundamental reason why Luo Yi does not know whether to live or die is that he is afraid of poverty. As a time traveler, Rock knows the direction of the future world. Although after the second Boer War, the British began to slowly decline.
But until before World War II, hugging the British's thighs was the best choice in this era. Even if the British ate meat and Rock and the others drank some soup, Rock and the others could still be full.
But Luo Yi didn't know this. Luo Yi used to be a street gangster. He was probably the kind of person who died on the street and his family wouldn't come forward to take care of his funeral. For Luo Yi, the future is precarious, so he should first earn the money he can.
Let’s talk about it when we get it.
What's more, they are both Chinese. Now that Luo Ke has been promoted and made a fortune, Luo Yi is not immune to the excitement. Just as Luo Ke said, the mansion that Luo Ke bought is a haunted house. Luo Ke and the others used to dream of it in the Qing Dynasty.
Luo Yi couldn't live in it. Luo Yi didn't have Roque's good luck and couldn't buy such a suitable house. But if he worked hard, it was still possible to buy a wooden building with a marble base like the one Roque had seen on Government Street.
The temptation of home is irresistible to everyone.
When he arrived at the police station, Rock went directly to find Sharma. It was night now and Austin Burns was not at work. Rock believed that Sharma had not had time to report it.
In other words, Sharma will not be so anxious to report it.
As Sheriff, Sharma also has his own separate office. When Rock came to Sharma's office, Sharma was lying on a chair admiring a half-pound gold coin issued in 1892. When he saw Rock coming in, Sharma
Ma took back his feet that were placed high on the table and gave Rock the most basic respect.
"Mr. Vice-captain, it's nice to meet you." Sharma's English is what Indians consider to be standard English. If he speaks faster, it is estimated that only Indians in the world can understand him.
"Mr. Sheriff, I'm sorry that I didn't come to you for tea earlier. Why don't we find a place to have a drink." Being under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Even if Rock didn't like Sharma anymore, he still had to give in.
"No, no, no, we Sikhs never drink alcohol." Sharma spoke righteously and made a full gesture in front of Rock.
Shit, don’t drink. Rock wants to slap Sharma on his “sincere” face. It is indeed a Sikh commandment not to drink, but when have the Indians in Cape Town ever followed it? Are those drunken people every night?
Are all Indians drunk like cat urine? Sikhs still wear shorts, and Indian policemen don’t wear the uniforms issued by the Cape Town Police Department.
Regarding the precepts of Indians, this is very magical. For example, cows are sacred animals in India. It is said that Indians never eat beef, but that is in India. Indians who go abroad will starve to death if they do not eat beef. Is it possible?
Do Indians really not eat beef?
Don't be ridiculous, as far as Rock knows, there are not many Indians who eat beef.
