Johannesburg already had electric lights, and Roque certainly wouldn't be bad at Nyasaland.

Although Nyasaland does not have a wide basin and a large range of rivers like the Limpopo River, the water resources of Nyasaland are better than those of Johannesburg, the Limpopo River is only a seasonal river, and the rivers in Nyasaland are small and short, but the large number of drops is large, which is very conducive to the development of small reservoir hydropower stations.

Roque does not need a model project like the Crocodile Bay Reservoir in Nyasaland, although the installed capacity of a single hydropower station is not as good as the Crocodile Bay Reservoir, but it cannot support the number of hydropower stations in Nyasaland, and the installed capacity of all hydropower stations combined is only higher than that of the Crocodile Bay Reservoir.

What's more, because of the small scale of a single hydropower plant, the construction period is also shorter, so Nyasaland has been using electric lights much later than Johannesburg.

Speaking of which, although electricity has just appeared in the world, Su Xian is no stranger to electric lights.

More than ten years ago, Su Xian, as his father's assistant, was already qualified to enter and leave the palace, and the palace had already used electric lights in 1888, but because all the electric lights at that time were powered by generators, and Su Xian did not hear the roar of the generators, so there was a deviation in understanding.

The moment he saw the electric light, to be honest, Su Xian had mixed feelings, in the Qing Kingdom, only the nobles in the palace were qualified to use electric lights, and the Tai Hospital where Su Xian's father was located was not qualified to install it, and for a moment, Su Xian thought that he was back three years ago.

In just three years, it is really a time for people to move through the country.

Compared with Su Xian, his family's eyes are not enough, although electric lights have appeared in the Qing Kingdom for more than ten years, but for ordinary Chinese, electric lights are legendary existences, and ordinary people have no chance to see them, so even if the electric lights are a little dazzling, several children still stare at the electric lights without blinking.

Fortunately, Su Xian was very strict with the children, although they were curious, but the children did not lose their temper, they just watched quietly, and without Su Xian's permission, the children did not even enter the door.

"Mr. Su, you will live here for the past few days, if there is any inconvenience to find me directly, or find the staff of the transfer station, Liang Kuan, who is the deputy director of the transfer station, if you need to say hello." Liang Kuan's attitude was respectful, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Liang-Director Liang, may I ask, here, is it just our family?" Su Xian called Liang Kuan in time.

"Yes, just your family, there are a total of eight rooms upstairs and downstairs, downstairs is the living room, kitchen, guest room, upstairs is three bedrooms and a study, and a common bathroom, if it is still not enough to live, then you have to live in the attic, but there is no bed in the attic, if you want to live, you have to make a bunk on the floor - the bedding in the room is ready, in the cabinet next to the bed - yes, I will go up with you." Liang Kuan's words, I don't know how many times I have to repeat them every day, so I simply took Su Xian upstairs.

The smooth and shiny wooden floor, with a slight rebound when stepping on it, went up the stairs, and turned on an electric light at the corner of Liang Kuan, which made Su Xian secretly frightened, and he didn't know how many electric lights were installed in this house, so it seems that Nyasaland is indeed as rich as the legend.

Before agreeing to go to Nyasaland, Su Xian had heard that in the past two years, there were many Chinese immigrants to Africa, at that time, in Su Xian's view, Afrikanica or Nyasaland were both wild places, and after they went, they could only be used as cattle for foreigners.

The reason why he agreed to come to Nyasaland, Su Xian was also desperate, and at that time, Su Xian was even willing to come to Nyasaland alone, so that his wife and children could continue to stay in the Qing Kingdom.

Fortunately, Su Xian's wife was sensible and would rather die than be separated from her family, so Su Xian's family entered the camp of the Nyasaland Human Resources Company together.

In the camp, Su Xian's family was well taken care of, and after the staff in the camp knew Su Xian's occupation, they did not force Su Xian's family to shave their hair like everyone else, nor did they separate Su Xian's family, but arranged them in two separate rooms, which were crowded a little, but compared with those who had to separate men and women, this was much luckier.

After entering the camp, Su Xian finally realized the wealth of the Nyasalanders.

At this time, in the north of the Qing Dynasty, because of continuous wars and natural and man-made disasters, the people were already struggling to make a living, and the dignitaries were better, although their lives were also greatly affected, but they could still be guaranteed without worrying about food and clothing; Ordinary people are miserable, Su Xian's father used to be a doctor, and his family has been ruined, the situation of ordinary people can be imagined, although Su Xian did not see Yi Zi and starved all over the wilderness, but there are more and more people who voluntarily sell themselves into slavery.

Five years ago, if you want to buy a daughter-in-law, you only need 80 oceans, but now you don't need money at all, and you can get a living big girl by giving two catties of millet.

The situation in the camp is different, not to mention eating well and dressing well, at least having food and clothing, and the key is that the food can be managed, which has already made many new immigrants settle down.

Coming to Nyasaland, Su Xian's cognition was refreshed again, and the electric light was just the beginning.

Although the room is not big, it is clean and tidy, and there are also electric lights in the room, but Su Xian has begun to be numb now, it seems that in the Qing Kingdom, only high-ranking officials and nobles can enjoy electric lights, in Nyasaland is just ordinary.

That's right, the electric light was transmitted to the Qing by the foreigners, and it is naturally not rare in the territory of the foreigners, just like the porcelain and tea of the Qing Dynasty, the price is low in the Qing Kingdom, and when it reaches the territory of the foreigners, it is several times and more than a dozen times to turn up, although Su Xian does not do business, but these situations are also known.

Liang Kuan opened the cabinet next to the door, and did not stretch out his hand rashly, but just stretched out his hand to signal: "The bedding is in the cabinet, every room is the same, the climate of our Nyasaland is very different from our Qing country, most of the year is summer, but the weather here is not very hot, as long as it is not exposed to the sun, it is still necessary to prevent mosquitoes at night, but we don't need to order wormwood, there are mosquito coils on the windowsill, after ignition, mosquitoes naturally dare not approach, and someone will send something over later, please Mr. Su wait." ”

After Liang Kuan finished speaking, he arched his hand, and went downstairs without waiting for Su Xian to return the salute, this time Su Xian did not stop Liang Kuan, and it could be seen that Liang Kuan, the "director", was also very busy.

When Su Xian and his wife returned upstairs after sending Liang Kuan, the concubine and the children still couldn't believe it.

"Dad, shall we live here in the future?" The one who spoke was Su Xian's eldest son Su Wei, Su Wei has just become an adult this year, and he has also studied medicine with Su Xian since he was a child, and it has been more than ten years.

Not necessarily, since the people of Nyasaland spent such a price to bring Su Xian's family from the Qing Kingdom to Nyasaland, they definitely did not want to treat Su Xian's family as cattle, it is estimated that Su Xian still has to return to his old business in Nyasaland, but Su Xian is still not sure if there are herbs in Nyasaland, if there are no herbs, then Su Xian's ability is nowhere to be displayed.

Listening to the meaning of Liang Kuan's words just now, the climate of Nyasaland is very different from the climate of the Qing Kingdom, so even if there are herbs in Nyasaland, then the medicinal properties of the Qing Kingdom must be different.

"Stay here for the time being, I don't know how they will arrange it, don't be impatient, you live with the second and fourth children, and the third and fifth children live in one room, go and clean up the bed, you will definitely live here tonight." Su Xian has come to settle down, and at this point, he can only resign himself to fate.

sent the children to clean up the beds, closed the door, and only Su Xian and his wife were left in the house-

In this environment, the concubine was obviously uncomfortable, so she found an excuse to go to the kitchen to take a look, and Su Xian's wife finally spoke.

"Looking at these Nyasaland people, it doesn't look like a fierce god, I thought Nyasaland were all foreigners, and it seems that the rumors are not true." Su Xian's wife is also from a large family, and her vision is naturally different.

"I heard that this Baron Nyasaland is Chinese, and he has made great contributions to foreigners a few years ago, so he was named a baron by the Queen of England-" Su Xian has a lot of knowledge about Nyasaland in the camp of the Nyasaland Human Resources Company, and Qing Guo should also know this information, but Su Xian doesn't know why, and the Qing State is very tight-lipped about Nyasaland.

"But a few years ago, foreigners invaded our Qing Dynasty?" Su Xian's wife's face turned pale.

"No, it's to help foreigners fight foreigners-" Su Xian shook his head, if Baron Nyasaland helped foreigners fight the Qing Dynasty, Su Xian was afraid that he would rather die than come to Nyasaland.

For the sake of the tiger, you can't enter the ancestral grave even if you die!

"That's a rarity." Su Xian's wife breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously felt more identified with Nyasaland.

"This Baron of Nyasaland is still very rare, I heard that in the war of foreigners, he helped the British Empire kill the commander-in-chief of the other side, and then saved the peace of one side, even among the foreigners, he is outstanding." When Su Xian first heard about Baron Nyasaland, he couldn't believe it, how many years had passed, he had only seen foreigners bullying the Qing Kingdom, and he had never heard of the Qing people beating foreigners.

Su Xian's wife was about to speak, when a doorbell suddenly rang downstairs.

Su Xian went downstairs with his wife, and at the door was a neatly dressed white man.

Su Xian and his wife's hearts suddenly lifted.

When the door was opened, the white man was not very proficient in Chinese, and his stumbling words were funny, but the words were not funny: "Mr. Su, this is your family's dinner tonight-"

It turned out to be a food delivery -

Wait, delivering food, this is the work of serving people, is it possible that in Nyasaland, the Chinese can call the whites?

Su Xian is really unbelievable, but the facts are in front of him, what can he do if he doesn't believe it?!
