As a victim of racial discrimination, Roque should oppose any form of racial discrimination.
This is actually the standard thinking of a weak person. Just like if I am weak, I am justified. Even if you are stronger than me, you cannot bully me just because I am weak.
The people who make the rules don't think so. The essence of jungle society is survival of the fittest. The weak are not even qualified to live. Mere discrimination is kind enough.
Therefore, the most correct way to deal with discrimination is to be aware of shame and then be brave, to use the social rules set by white people to defeat white people, and then treat others in their own way.
As for those who complain about themselves all day long and don’t think about progress, and imagine that one day they will wake up and the world will be unified, they deserve to be discriminated against.
On the weekend, Rock went to Ade's house for dinner. After dinner, when Rock and Ade were chatting, Ade raised a question, whether to cancel the preferential immigration policy in southern Africa.
"Even if the status quo is not changed, our current immigration policy can only last for another two years at most. The ten federal states, Cape, Natal, Orange, Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland
, and Lourenço Marquez have no extra land to allocate. No one goes to Basutoland and Swaziland. Now there is only a small amount of land to allocate in Bechuanaland, but Bechuanaland
Even the cost of resettling new immigrants cannot be paid. The federal government has paid for it in recent years. I originally wanted to raise this matter at the joint ministerial meeting next month." Adelaide still asked Roque for his opinion first. After all,
In recent years, most of the new immigrants in southern Africa are Chinese.
"Okay -" Rock was very happy. It was enough for Ade to persist in raising this issue until now.
"I thought you would disagree." In recent years, Ade and Rock have been away from each other more and less together, and they have become more unfamiliar with each other.
It was also because Rock was aware of this problem that he took the initiative to come to Ade's house for dinner. This was indeed an effective way to bring each other closer.
"How is it possible? In fact, Nyasaland has already done this. At first, the Chinese families who immigrated to Nyasaland could get about one hundred acres of land. Later, they only got fifty acres. Now there are only ten acres left."
Roque had no intention of keeping collecting the federal government's wool, and now it is almost running out.
"Ten acres?" The data given by Rock was different from what Ade had in mind.
"If you just raise a family, ten acres is enough." Rock believes in the agricultural level of the Chinese.
In fact, it really doesn’t take much land to feed a family. In the densely populated areas of the Qing Dynasty, the average person has less than one acre of arable land, and they still starve to death.
The key is the various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Even if the homesteaders of the Qing Dynasty have ten acres of land, it is difficult to meet the needs of the family. It does not mean that food cannot be grown in the land, but that eight acres of food grown on ten acres of land will be taken away.
, so I can only eat chaffy vegetables.
Farmers in southern Africa, if they don't sell the food they grow, they hardly need to pay taxes and they can keep whatever they collect, so they don't need 100 acres at all. Ten acres are enough to meet the needs of a family.
"How much land do you have in your name now?" Ade was curious. In the past, Stoudemire was the largest landowner in southern Africa. Now the honorary title of Rock has been given to Roque. Even Ade doesn't know how much land Roque has in his name.
, the entire Nyasaland belongs to Rock, and Rock also controls two major lands through many companies, not only in southern Africa, but also has industries in Madagascar, the peninsula, and even East India.
"I really don't know this." Rock told the truth. Zach should know, but Rock didn't ask.
"I'm going to change the allocation to sale -" Ade is not angry, some things should not be taken too seriously, Sidney Milner is also a shareholder of Bechuanaland Agriculture Company.
Ade also knew that Sidney Milner was doing business with Roark, but Ade did not interfere. After all, Ade was Sidney's nephew. Sidney had followed Ade through ups and downs for so many years, from Egypt to Egypt.
Going to southern Africa is hard work without any merit. Adelaide feels guilty enough for not getting any benefits for Sidney Milner. If he even has to take care of this matter, he would be too harsh on Sidney Milner.
.
Who can still be selfish? This is human nature.
Speaking of which, Adelaide is in a difficult position. The previous immigration policy in southern Africa was to make it easier for new immigrants. If the distribution is changed to selling, it would be equivalent to giving opportunities to big landowners like Roque and Stoudemire, and the land will be even more concentrated.
In the hands of a few people.
But if big landowners like Rock and Stoudemire don't buy it, they probably won't be able to sell it at a high price, so how to measure this is really a headache.
"Great, the Ministry of National Defense can't even pay next month's salary -" Roque immediately began to complain. Don't worry about how much you can get, just put your name on it first.
"Don't even think about it, just figure it out yourself -" Ade didn't talk nonsense. He said so much mainly to communicate with Roque, so as to prevent Roque from thinking too much and kicking him out immediately after achieving his goal.
Sidney Milner sees Roark out.
"The idea of the guy at the Department of Agriculture——" Sidney Milner stared intently.
Rock was not surprised. Rock had a premonition before Louis Botha went to Nyasaland to inspect state-owned farms.
"Then why not simply establish a state-owned farm?" Roque was curious, and selling it directly was probably not Louis Botta's suggestion.
"Minister Botha proposed the establishment of state-owned farms." Sidney Milner sneered. Adelaide is not easy to fool. Louis Botha's little tricks can't be fooled by Adelaide.
To put it bluntly, it is still a question of the right to speak. The Ministry of Agriculture is just a decoration now. If state-owned farms are established, the status of the Ministry of Agriculture will rise. Adezhen is not suppressing the Boers, but the Boers have never given up on fighting with the British over the years.
Ade is well aware of the hatred between them.
In Ade's official residence, Rock and Sidney Milner could not talk too much. They simply said a few words and left. Anyway, they had already obtained enough information.
When he got home, Philip was still awake and was playing chess with Gavin, who had just returned to Pretoria.
Gavin is very good at chess and won the championship in the affiliated primary school competition, but he is definitely not comparable to an old fox like Philip.
Philip was an old man and he obviously had the advantage but still couldn't win. From time to time he would give Gavin something to eat. Seeing Gavin shouting excitedly and about to turn the tables, Roark could only admit that Philip was better at taking care of children. The child was half lying on the sofa reading a novel. This posture was very unladylike, but neither Roque nor Philip dared to raise any objections. Phyllis was pregnant again, and this time she vowed to have a daughter, because there are "acidic" among Chinese people.
There is a saying that "sons are spicy and women are spicy", so Felice's snacks these days are all kinds of spicy snacks.
"How are you feeling today?" Roque put Felice's calf on his lap and massaged it. According to current standards, Felice can be considered an older mother, so she should be treated with care.
In fact, it doesn’t matter. Phyllis had just turned eighteen when she married Roque, and now she is only twenty-six. If this baby hadn’t been a daughter, she could have continued to work hard.
Probably enjoying the feeling of being favored, after Rock pressed this one, Phyllis immediately took the initiative to lift the other one up.
Phillip couldn't even care about playing chess, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
"Is this the case at home?" Phillip's mood at the moment couldn't be said to be regretful or fortunate, but he was probably still thankful.
"It's even more extreme than this at home. Sometimes she has to ask me to push her." Gavin seized the opportunity to complain. Normally Rock wouldn't dare to make the decision for him.
"That's outrageous!" Philip was angry. He picked up the queen and ate Gavin's king. Then he asked Rock to go to the study, leaving Gavin messy in the wind.
This family is not very friendly to children.
When Rock followed Philip to the study, he didn't forget to grab a bag of pickled pepper and chicken feet. The shelf in front of him was enough, but he had to relax a little when he got home.
Sure enough, Phyllis over there has already started to ask Gavin to beat his legs.
"Young Smuts is going to London, you still have to be careful." Philip was also worried that Yang Smuts would be detrimental to Rock in the future.
"It's okay, how can a defeated general dare to speak bravely." This is what Rock explained to Ade just now.
"Actually, it's a pity that Yang Smuts was born at the wrong time. If it hadn't been for the Boer War, or if it hadn't been for you, Yang Smuts probably wouldn't have gone to London." Philip didn't worry too much, don't forget.
Philip used to work in the Department of Colonial Affairs, and Matilda's family is considered aboriginal in London.
"If you can't change the environment, then you have to learn to adapt to the environment." Rock has no regrets. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If it were Yang Smozi who had the upper hand, then Rock might not have the chance to go abroad.
.
"What should I do about Louis Botta?" Philippe is not a good person either. He must eradicate the roots. This is the rhythm of killing them all.
"Louis Botha is more difficult to deal with than Jan Smuts. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for me, I won't target him." Roque doesn't have much objection to Louis Botha. At least Louis Botha can
In terms of communication, it is impossible for Roque to go to Orange to become governor. Instead of replacing someone unfamiliar with him as governor, it would be better to have Louis Botha.
"I want to change Irving's position. Where do you think he should go?" Phillip also had something to discuss with Roque, but the purpose of raising this question at this time is very clear.
"You want Owen to go to the Ministry of Education?" Rock was surprised. Owen is the leader of the Liberal Party and the leader of the majority party in Congress. It is not impossible for Owen to go to the Ministry of Education. However, Owen has no experience in government. He might not be acclimated to the Ministry of Education. p>
"No, no, no, the Prime Minister wants to invite Douglas to be the Minister of Education. If Douglas accepts the Prime Minister's invitation, then who will be the president of Nyasaland University?" Philip will not let Owen go to the Ministry of Education to jump into the fire pit and go to Nyasaland.
What a great university. From now on, graduates of Nyasaland University will call Owen "Principal" when they see him——
