Scarlett's farm has reached the brink of collapse. A utopia composed purely of women and children cannot be maintained for a long time in this era.
Human nature is selfish, especially those women who have been devastated by war, they feel this even more deeply.
From the beginning, there were great hidden dangers in Scarlett's farm. Rock knew that there was no future for the big pot rice model, but Scarlett didn't know it. Rock didn't bother to remind Scarlett at that time, so Scarlett
Carrie plunged headlong into this big pit.
Most of the women taken in by Scarlett were pregnant, so not long after the farm was established, it had its first baby boom.
It was fine at the beginning. Being a mother is a strength, and women will burst out with great energy for their children, so the situation on the farm was not bad.
However, as more and more mothers gave birth, there were fewer and fewer people available to work. At this time, the farms around Johannesburg had begun to develop rapidly. Scarlett's farm was still struggling, relying on potatoes and milk supported by the agricultural association. That's right, not only did the Agricultural Association donate a lot of milk to Scarlett's farm, but Ziwei Public School also sent a lot of milk to Scarlett's farm.
Originally, if this situation continued, the situation might still be able to maintain.
But at this time, the situation changed again. After giving birth to their children, many pregnant women chose to leave the farm to marry, or went to Orange to find their families, but the children were left behind on the farm. These children became a crushing
The last straw for the farm.
Great disagreements arose on the farm over how these children should be treated.
Some people insist that the children should be taken away by the women who left the farm. This is obviously unrealistic because the farm does not know where the mothers of those children went after leaving the farm.
Others believe that those children should be handed over to the Johannesburg Municipal Government for upbringing, and at least the municipal government should bear part of the cost of raising them.
This sounds like a good choice, but it also doesn’t have much maneuverability. The current Johannesburg city government does not have a parenting policy for orphans. These children don’t even have a father, and now they have lost their mother. This situation is even in the UK.
It is difficult to get good care of the local people, let alone this is southern Africa.
For the sake of these children, a huge rift appeared on the farm, which further affected the normal production of the farm. But at this time, Scarlett's savings had been exhausted, and the farm was finally unable to maintain.
Fortunately, Ada returned to Johannesburg at this time. Scarlett was forced to explain the situation of the farm to Ada, hoping that Ada could take over the farm.
Unlike Scarlett, who is a bad person, as a woman, Ada's character is more decisive, more independent, and more cold-blooded, so Ada's request is that she can take over the farm, but requires Scarlett to transfer the ownership of the farm to
Ada, and Scarlett will no longer interfere with farm operations.
Scarlett was exhausted physically and mentally, and even if she wanted to interfere, she was powerless, so she simply agreed to Ada's request.
The first thing Ada did after taking over the farm was to disband the farm.
Because Ada is now the owner of the farm, the women and children on the farm are actually employees of the farm. Ada sent professional management and financial personnel to the farm, and hired some security personnel from the umbrella company.
The farm undergoes corporatization.
The transformation method is very rough. The farm is directly run as a company. Everyone on the farm becomes a company employee. If they can accept the company's model, then the "employees" can continue to stay in the company. If they cannot accept the current changes, then they have to leave.
farm.
In order to thank those who are leaving for their contribution to the farm, the farm will provide a certain degree of financial compensation. Considering Ada's style, don't expect much money.
Most of the women chose to stay on the farm, while some were disillusioned with the farm and chose to leave. Ada never showed up from the beginning to the end, and everything was done by the farm’s management. Less than two months after taking over the farm, the farm’s
The situation is completely new.
In fact, the key to the problem is the children who have become orphans.
After clearing up the unstable factors, Ada still invested money in the farm and established nurseries and kindergartens one after another to take care of these children.
For employees who choose to stay on the farm, the farm also signs a servant contract with them and assigns them detailed work tasks. Some go to nurseries and kindergartens to take care of the children, and some are responsible for farm labor.
It was only then that Ada discovered how chaotic Scarlett's previous management was. The farm lacked labor and had a huge area. It did not develop animal husbandry with relatively easy labor intensity. However, a group of women and children guarded the farm.
When it comes to living a potato life, Scarlett, the farmer, is indeed unqualified.
Scarlett is not an excellent decision-maker, but she is an excellent executor, so only after the farm was transformed into a company model, Ada appointed Scarlett as the manager of the company.
Nothing seems to have changed, but everything is completely different from before.
To put it bluntly, there is still no money. To develop animal husbandry, whether it is breeding cattle or breeding sheep, money is needed. The money Scarlett bought the farm was a loan, and she had no money to continue investing, so the farm was destined to fail from the beginning.
Maintain.
Compared with when Scarlett bought the farm, the situation is much better now.
At that time, farms in Johannesburg had to purchase breeding cattle and sheep, and even had to go to Canada. Now this problem can be solved locally in Johannesburg. Local farms in Johannesburg can already provide breeding cattle and sheep to the outside world, and the prices are much cheaper than before. As for the labor force, it is not difficult to solve it. Nyasaland is now able to produce tractors. Ada called Roque, and Roque directly gave Ada five tractors. This completely solved the farm's labor problem. p>

It’s not a complete solution. On a farm with an area of 20,000 acres, only women cannot do it. Therefore, Ada hired some Chinese people to come to the farm to further change the farm’s human resources structure.
This decision triggered opposition from Scarlett and company employees.
But Ada's attitude is firm. If you can accept it, stay or leave if you can't. There is no third option. Johannesburg's democratic representative system will also not work here.
No one leaves!
Those who are willing to leave have already left long ago after two eliminations. Those who remain are those who have nowhere to go or have deep feelings for the farm. Even if Ada goes too far, they probably won't leave. After the farm got on track, good things happened one after another. When the tractor started to reclaim the wasteland, it discovered a gold mine in the northwest of the farm.
It is normal to discover gold mines in the Johannesburg area. In addition to the Rock gold mine, Rock currently has two discovered gold mines that have not been mined at all. Counting the gold discovered on Scarlett-Ada's farm.
Mine, at least one-tenth of the gold mines in the Johannesburg area is controlled by Rock.
This cannot be compared with De Beers Unified Mining Company, but like Stoudemire, Rock is actually another mining giant in the Johannesburg area.
"How big is the gold mine?" After Ada discovered the gold mine, she went directly to Rock and wanted to hand over the gold mine to Rock.
"I don't know. I didn't go to Christian. As you know, the farm is full of women. It's impossible to expect them to mine. I probably can't keep the gold mine in my hands. It's better to leave it to you -" Ada
Now I am lying in my villa, leaning on Roque comfortably and eating fruit.
Arthur was babbling and crawling around on the carpet next to Ada and Rock.
Ada is also a very lazy woman. Every time Arthur is about to crawl out of Ada's control, Ada will use her toes to hold Arthur's clothes and pull Arthur back after trying hard to escape.
Arthur is indomitable. After being pulled back, he will work hard to set off for the distance without crying.
So Rock immediately went off topic: "Does this child not know how to cry? I have never heard him cry."
"Because he knows that even if he cries, his father will not show up in time to comfort him, so this child rarely cries." Ada made a pun.
Roqueto was smart and immediately gave him a kiss full of apology and love.
Ada smiled with satisfaction.
"Keep the gold mine for yourself. If there are no miners, I will help you find it. Don't worry about the rest." Roque is indeed confident now. If it were other women who owned the gold mine, then they might not be able to keep it. Ada would
Without this problem, even if Roque didn't come forward, there wouldn't be many people in Johannesburg who could bully Ada.
"Let me keep it - will Mrs. Nyasaland be unhappy?" Ada still has resentment after all. It is impossible to say that she doesn't mind: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it. In fact, it is like this now.
That’s not bad. When you don’t come, I will treat you as if you are on a business trip——”
Such a woman really makes Rock fall in love with her, so Rock is willing to shoulder the burden.
Running a gold mine might be overwhelming for someone else, but for a capitalist like Rock, it is simply not that simple.
Qianluoke has plenty of mining equipment, and Johannesburg also has it. The only problem is the miners. Luoke still has many Zulu prisoners of war in his hands. The transfer of two to three thousand will not affect the construction of Nyasaland.
.
As for whether these Zulu miners will affect Johannesburg's population ratio after they come to Johannesburg.
There is really no need to worry about this issue. All the gold mines in Johannesburg are now under military management, which is completely different from the free-range farming in the past. All the miners in Johannesburg only work in Johannesburg, not live in Johannesburg. Rock can always bring these ancestors
