The situation in Nyasaland was not well known to Louis Botha, at least the standard of living of the Transvaal farmers far exceeded that of the British commoners, comparable to that of the British middle class.

The middle-class families in the UK account for about 15% of the whole society.

At this time, Britain had not yet established a social welfare system, and it would not be gradually established until after World War II, and the living standards of British civilians were very miserable, so it would be good to fill their stomachs, otherwise there would not be so many child laborers in factories.

In southern Africa, the group corresponding to the bottom of the British people is Africans, if there are no huge and almost free Africans to drive, southern Africa will not be able to develop so fast, Roque's so-called sacrifice of one or two generations, the sacrifice is also Africans, really to sacrifice the Chinese, Roque is not reluctant.

Aware of this problem, Louis Botha had a new assessment of the strength of the Chinese in southern Africa.

Although there is no specific data, Louis Botha clearly knows that the number of Chinese in southern Africa has exceeded the total number of whites, and the submissive Africans are different, the Chinese in southern Africa have the right to vote, although the Chinese seem harmless now, but with the increase of strength in all aspects, the Chinese will definitely openly express their interests one day in the future, where will the Boers go?

This is a serious problem.

In the afternoon, Roque and Louis Botha took the train to Little Rock, and at this time they took Roque's special train, which of course inevitably attracted Louis Botha's complaints.

"I bought the train at my own expense, and I didn't let the federal government pay for it, what the hell are you souring?" Roque is straightforward, the money he earns is not borrowed, and no one cares how he spends it.

"As an official of the federal government, do you also have to pay attention to your own image?" Louis Botha couldn't get used to Roque's behavior of being a special train at every turn.

"What do you think of a top British aristocrat in southern Africa?" Roque laughed, Louis Botha was cocooning himself.

"That's right, I overkill—" Louis Botha immediately realized that Roque would not be in line with his character if he was low-key and simple.

In fact, it's really not Roque's extravagance, unlike the Ministry of Agriculture where Louis Botha served, the official affairs of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are still very busy, every time Roque travels, in addition to the huge security team, he also has to bring the staff equipped by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice to deal with official business at any time, Roque will not find fault with himself, the housekeepers and cooks are all carried with him, and there are more than a dozen cars, which are pulled on the train at any time, and can be used at any time when he wants to use them.

Louis Botha is much simpler, in the case of southern Africa, the Ministry of Agriculture is just a decoration, how the farmer's farm is run The Ministry of Agriculture cannot interfere, at most it plays a guiding role, but a group of veterans of the Ministry of Agriculture do not know how to run a farm, and they are technically laymen, so Louis Botha is really envious of Roque.

It is good to have money, and all the problems that cannot be solved by yourself are handed over to experts, and the Ministry of Agriculture does not even have the funds to hire experts.

"Only liquid money can generate profits, rich people must continue to consume, the government can have taxes, so as to better serve everyone, businessmen can also make profits to invest in expanding reproduction, and workers can have income to support their families, and you may have the taxes I pay in your salary, so respect me, I am a taxpayer." Roque is proud, and it is really easy to do foreign trade and fight guerrillas.

As Minister of Agriculture, Louis Botha's annual income is five thousand rand, which is the absolute top level in southern Africa, and there are no more than 1,000 people at this income level in the whole of southern Africa.

Compared with Roque, Louis Botha's income is much worse, and last year Roque himself paid more than 50,000 yuan just for paying taxes, which must still be the figure after various legal tax avoidances, so Roque is right, Louis Botha really wants to respect Roque.

"Dear taxpayers, please have tea—" Louis Botha was also a wonderful man, and was immediately respectful.

Roque accepted with peace of mind that Louis Botha was also a taxpayer, and personal income tax became a fixed tax in Britain in 1874.

Southern Africa also has a personal income tax, and with higher incomes, the higher the percentage of tax paid, with high-income groups like Louis Botha and Roque having a personal income tax rate of around 45 percent.

Of course, the high income here is the literal high income, and the business income cannot be measured, there are so many companies under Roque's name, and it takes a huge accounting team similar to the RAND Bank to calculate the specific annual income, Roque can indeed make a lot of money in the business field, but Roque is making large-scale investments every year, and the money earned changes hands and is spent again, although the wealth is growing all the time, but there is no need to pay taxes, which is the so-called legal tax avoidance.

Another way to avoid taxes legally is charity, this way is still invented by the Americans, donate their income, and naturally do not need to pay taxes, so the rich in the United States have charitable foundations under their names, and donate the money earned by enterprises to the charitable foundations under their names, which is equivalent to handing over the left hand to the right hand, and then the charitable foundation finds a project to spend a little money every year, which can both invite fame and shoot profits.

Since Britain is also a capitalist country, Roque is not exempt from vulgarity, so Roque now has a charitable foundation under his name, and it was established together with Xiao Si, and many hospitals and schools in Nyasaland and Rhodesia were donated by the foundation.

"When are you going to develop the farm that Bechuaner Agriculture bought in Orange?" Louis Botha was itchy about unscrupulous capitalists like Roque, and the Bechuana Agricultural Company bought more than 5.5 million acres of farms in Orange, or 30 percent of Orange's arable land.

Roque's unscrupulousness lies in the fact that he does not develop the land after buying it, and would rather waste it than feel distressed.

Roque's family doesn't care, the Orange government can't care, the land can't generate profits if it is not developed, Roque can sit and wait for the land to appreciate, the Orange government's finances are getting tighter and tighter, Louis Botha is not only the minister of agriculture, but also the governor of Orange.

Even according to the previous resettlement standards, Bechuana Agricultural Company can resettle at least 10,000 immigrant families on the land in Orange, and in the case of Chinese immigrants, 10,000 families are more than 100,000 people.

Maybe it won't be reversed, but at least improvement is a good trend.

"Sorry, there's no money right now—" Roark had a good reason, he couldn't do anything without money.

"You're going to run out of money?" Louis Botha's face was as dark as that of an African, and this reason was too perfunctory.

"I'm not God, and of course I don't have money." Roque is indeed perfunctory, and his face is very ugly, I don't accept you to bite me.

The corners of Louis Botha's mouth twitched, and he endured it again and again so that he didn't draw a cross on his chest, and then he was calm and aggrieved.

"Louis, it's not that I don't develop, it's that there are too many Boers in Orange who have a bad attitude towards Chinese Americans, and the personal safety of new immigrants to Orange cannot be guaranteed, so I'm really sorry, I won't settle new immigrants in Orange until public opinion and law and order in Orange improve." Roque finally came up with a reasonable explanation, but it made Louis Botha even more uncomfortable.

"There is freedom of speech in southern Africa, and there is no way for the state governments—" Louis Botha said with a weak heart.

The so-called freedom of speech in the West is a joke, newspapers and magazines are controlled by the capitalists, ordinary people can't even find the door of the newspaper office if they want to submit articles to the newspaper, and the newspapers in Orange not only exclude the Chinese, but also the British, Africans, and everyone except the Boers, which is outright racist.

But in this day and age, racism is political correctness.

"Then I can't help it-" Roque was not in a hurry, and decided to go back and increase his purchases.

It's really easy to buy a farm in southern Africa, the Boer farmer in Orange sells the farm, takes the money and then goes to Canada and Australia, and can easily buy the next family business, Canada and Australia are purely white countries, there are no troublesome Chinese and Africans, and they are more friendly to the Boers.

"I didn't mean that, I mean, the state government is figuring it out." Louis Botha put it another way.

"That's right, Bechuana Agriculture is also preparing to develop farms in Orange." Roque reciprocated, but if he wants to see real action, he still needs the Orange state government to continue to work hard, and it is not enough to just find a way.

"It's not that I'm stirring up a wedge between you Boers, some of you Boers are indeed incompatible with the current Southern Africa, it's been ten years since the war ended, and now there is actually no distinction between the Boers and the British, everyone is a Southern African, and they all have to work hard to build a better Southern Africa, but if you look at the current situation in Orange, it's stubborn, it's old-fashioned, and some people are still immersed in unrealistic fantasies, even during the Transvaal Republic, Did the gold mines of Johannesburg belong to the Boers? It's never been a good thing—"Roque is now thinking better than he was before, and if it had been ten years ago, or even five years ago, Roque would never have accepted the Boers."

Now it is different, Roque now has to consider the problem from the perspective of the whole of southern Africa, and it is certainly better for the Boers to be willing to integrate into southern Africa, but if they are really unwilling, then it is better to leave southern Africa altogether.
