Congressional seats in Southern Africa are determined based on the number of voters in each state. Voters here specifically refer to male citizens with the right to vote.
Adelaide's term as Prime Minister lasts until 1912. Adelaide has not yet expressed his opinion on whether he will seek re-election by then. Philippe will definitely run for office.
Rock has no problem with whoever comes on stage between these two people. No matter who comes on stage, Rock is the winner.
Compared with the general election in 1908, by 1912, women over 30 years old in Southern Africa will also have the right to vote, so the number of voters will be greatly increased by then.
Compared with women, there will be more Chinese voters in 1912.
In 1908, in order to limit the number of Chinese voters, the Election Commission at that time stipulated that only male citizens with a five-year fixed tax record in Southern Africa could have the right to vote. This also restricted the right to vote to those who came to Southern Africa before 1903 and had
Only Chinese with continuous tax payment records have the right to vote.
By 1912, the deadline will be 1907. By then, not to mention the entire southern Africa, Nyasaland alone will have nearly 300,000 more valid votes.
What is the concept of 300,000 sheets?
In 1908, the total number of male citizens with voting rights in southern Africa was less than 300,000.
So even though Roque is far away in Nyasaland, his influence in Pretoria has not weakened at all. Votes are everything these days. Without votes, the People's Party, another party with monopoly power in time and space, can only be marginalized. p>
Irving now finally feels threatened by his votes.
If the Chinese in southern Africa no longer support the Liberal Party, the Liberal Party will instantly fall from its position as the largest party in Congress.
Fortunately, Roque is also a member of the Matilda family, so there is no need to worry about this issue.
"How many Chinese are there in Nyasaland now?" Owen asked this question seemingly casually.
The number of Chinese in Nyasaland has never stabilized. In order to increase the population, the federal government has worked hard to increase the population, formulating various benefits and promising various benefits. As a result, the increase rate of white people is less than one-tenth of that of the Chinese.
The data reported by the Nyasaland Immigration Bureau to the federal government is also very casual. One year it might have been 900,000, and the next year the number would become 700,000. In the words of the federal government’s Immigration Department, this is simply insulting.
IQ.
Yes, in order to attract more immigrants, Southern Africa does have a special department in charge, but the immigration office is in Cape Town, not Port Edward, which has the largest population.
"I can't tell right now, it should be over one million -" Roque's attitude in reporting the data was as casual as the Immigration Bureau.
"Should?" Owen was dumbfounded. Except for Nyasaland, all other states in southern Africa have widely publicized population increase as a political achievement. Nyasaland is the only one to be so casual on this issue.
"There are indeed no accurate figures. Although many immigrants register for entry in Port Edward, they will not settle in Nyasaland. Many of them are visiting relatives and friends. After registering for entry at Port Edward, they will go to the Transvaal.
, Rhodesia, Bechuanaland, and even Cape Town, so the entry records in Port Edward are inaccurate." Roque has no choice. When population increase figures can be used as a measure of political performance, all data are actually inaccurate.
.
When will population cease to be the main problem in Southern Africa, then will the population data be real data.
"How many people are enrolled in Nyasaland's state schools?" Owen puts it another way. Only permanent residents of Nyasaland are eligible to receive education in Nyasaland's public schools. This number will never be floating.
.
"This data is even harder to say. There are many types of state schools in Nyasaland, including not only primary and secondary schools stipulated by the Ministry of Education, but also kindergartens for infants and young children, as well as literacy classes for adults. The number of people in literacy classes fluctuates.
Relatively large." Rock also has no data on this aspect.
If according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education in Southern Africa, public education only covers the lower age groups, and adults are basically abandoned. After all, adults have to be busy with work and really do not have time to learn from scratch.
However, the Ministry of Education underestimated the Chinese people's thirst for knowledge and culture. Many white people are not interested in public education. Even if the federal government promotes public education, they will not let their children go to school.
The tradition of the Chinese is that they are poor in everything but good at education. No matter how poor the family is, they should try their best to educate their children. In the Qing Dynasty, there was no chance before. Now the Nyasaland State Government provides free education, so the enthusiasm of adults is also very high.<
/p>
"Only counting primary and secondary schools -" Irving is also helpless. The level of enthusiasm of the Chinese is surprising throughout southern Africa. Now states in southern Africa have begun to establish institutions of higher learning one after another. Several universities have begun enrolling students. Statistics from the Ministry of Education last year
Take a look, the proportion of Chinese students in major universities is over 60%.
If it were only at Nyasara University, the high proportion of Chinese students would be acceptable. After all, the main population of Nyasaland is Chinese.
However, these colleges and universities that have just started recruiting students are not in Nyasaland, and the proportion of Chinese students is still very high. This situation is very concerning.
Take the University of Good Hope in Cape Town, for example. The majority of the population in Cape Town is white and has a relatively high level of education. However, Chinese students still account for 60% of all students at the University of Good Hope. This situation is unacceptable to many people. p>
This 60% is based on the premise that the University of Good Hope has not organized an entrance examination. If it organizes an entrance examination, then I am afraid that the proportion of Chinese students will exceed 80%.
The University of Good Hope is also the only university in southern Africa where the proportion of Chinese students is less than 80%.
Probably since last year, there have been more and more rumors about Chinese people in Southern Africa. Some people even sensationalized that Southern Africa is about to become a Chinese country and white people will be marginalized. This has indeed affected the unity of Southern Africa to a certain extent.

"There seems to be no statistics on this aspect - there should be at least 300,000 -" Rock's answer indeed confirmed that some of the speculations were not completely groundless.
Irving's expression wasn't too surprised, but a little complicated.
This is why Nyasaland deliberately does not provide accurate data.
Some facts are indeed very hurtful to tell.
In southern Africa, the total number of public school students outside Nyasaland may not necessarily be 300,000.
If this trend continues, in a few years, higher education resources in Southern Africa will be monopolized by Chinese students. This means that more and more Chinese will enter industries that were previously monopolized by whites, such as bank executives.
, such as doctors and government employees, these industries already have this trend.
In the past two years, more and more students have graduated from Nyasaland University and Johannesburg Medical College. Although medical students are very popular, their employment is still limited, and it seems that the impact will not be big.
Nyasaland University is simply crazy. These college students who have just stepped out of campus are full of energy, unlimited motivation, and full of enthusiasm for work and life. The Liberal Party led by Owen has also hired some graduates of Nyasaland University. These graduates
The students performed very well at work. After a short adaptation period, they immediately sought medical treatment and integrated into the environment as quickly as possible. Owen's current secretaries and assistants are all Chinese.
There is no way, compared with the previous staff, the advantages of these graduates are simply crushed.
Although Nyasaland already has a Chinese-dominated Nyasaland Party, there are still many Chinese in the Liberal Party. At least the Chinese in Johannesburg are members of the Liberal Party. Most of these Chinese do not know English and cannot speak English.
I don’t know Boer, and even Chinese is difficult to understand. Don’t forget that this was the early 19th century, a time when Mandarin was not promoted. Cantonese and Hokkien were also spoken by northerners, and it was no less difficult than English. The biggest advantage of these graduates is language. They can use Chinese and English proficiently, and some graduates even know Afrikaans, which gives them an absolute advantage at work.
How important is language?
If you speak a few words in foreign language in the Qing Dynasty, you can act as a translator, and your whole family will be lifted out of poverty and become rich immediately.
Of course, for these graduates who have just entered the society, language is only one of their advantages, not even the biggest advantage. Thinking is their biggest advantage. Learning to think independently will allow these graduates to become more successful as soon as they enter the society.
A huge burst of energy, almost subversive energy.
"Immigration has become more and more difficult in the past two years. In the past, we could remove the entire village, but now we have to piece it together. I guess this is not the most difficult thing -" Roque seemed to have a serious face, but in fact
The problem is really not that serious.
Do you still remember those Americans? They have returned to the Qing Dynasty with various weapons purchased from Nyasaland.
If there are no accidents, then the Qing Dynasty will enter a state of chaos. This will definitely be a huge disaster for the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, but it will be a new opportunity for southern Africa.
In fact, before deciding to cooperate with those Americans, Rock seriously considered this issue. If the weapons were sold to those Americans, then there is no telling how many Chinese would die in the weapons produced in Nyasaland.
Underlying, if you look at it this way, Nyasaland's role in the chaos of the Qing Dynasty is actually not glorious.
But if he didn't sell it, it wouldn't be able to prevent the Qing Dynasty from falling into chaos. Thinking about the young revolutionaries in another time and space who fought with their own crude weapons, Roque felt that he should do something, even if it was to play a disgraceful role, he could make the country fall into chaos.
The Qing Empire perished faster.
If it is necessary to replace the old with the new, then speed up the process as soon as possible.
