After the reconstruction, Krugersdorp was named Purple Town by Roque.

Yes, Roque is going to plant purple trees in Ziwei Town, just like Oak Town, Ziwei trees, which will become the symbol of Ziwei Town in the future, and every year from October to November, the purple trees in the whole town will be full of purple flowers, plus the fragrance of fruit trees, Luo Ke is very confident that Ziwei Town will be built into a paradise for Chinese.

As for the fruit trees, this does not need to be bothered by Roque, referring to the experience of Oak Town, if the Chinese set up their home in Ziwei Town, they do not need Roque's request, the Chinese will plant fruit trees in front of the house, the only thing Roque has to worry about is that there are too many fruit trees, and in the end Ziwei Town will become Apple Town, or Amaroula Town.

Aaru is a common fruit tree in South Africa, and the wine made from this fruit tree is called elephant wine, which has almost the same taste and color as Baileys.

The point is that elephant wine is cheaper than Baileys, so in the 21st century, many profiteers sell elephant wine as Baileys.

It sells very well.

At the same time as the name of Krugsdorp was Ziwei Town, the newly discovered gold mine, according to the Transvaal tradition, was also named Rock Gold Mine, in the official records of Pretoria, the grade of Rock Gold Mine is 10 grams of gold per ton of ore, and in all the gold mines in the entire Rand region, this grade is neither high nor low, probably not looked down on by large companies and large enterprises, but it has not yet reached the point of "abandonment".

Considering that the profit of the gold mine will not be too high, even if it takes dividends, it is estimated that it will not be much by the end of the year, so Roque gave Buck an annual salary of 1,000 pounds, and Scarlett, as the treasurer, has the same annual salary as the iron hook of the head of security, which is 700 pounds.

This salary is also neither high nor low in the Rand area.

In short, the Rock Gold Mine is in the Rand area, inconspicuous, almost without the slightest sense of existence, and the estimated profitability on the books will make the tax bureau too lazy to deal with it.

That's what Roque wants, too.

It was only after the gold mine began to operate that Roque was surprised to discover that the gold mine also needed technicians.

This problem is very easy to solve, in Johannesburg, there are not too many gold mine technicians, Roque does not want British technicians, although their skills are better, but working in the mine, it is easy to understand the real situation of the mine, Roque asked Christian to find a dozen Boer technicians, the technology almost doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the experience is not enough, it doesn't matter if the manpower is not enough, it doesn't matter if there are not enough people, select one hundred and ten clever ones from the Chinese miners and slowly cultivate, so it affects the output Roque doesn't care at all, if there is too much gold mined, Instead, Roque had to worry about whether he would attract attention.

At the same time as the gold mine, a security team was set up in charge of the iron hook.

"Head, I picked two hundred and fifty people, this is the list-" Iron Hook is very weak, plus the new workers, there are only more than 2,000 workers in the gold mine, Iron Hook picked out more than 200 at once, under normal circumstances, this behavior is indeed a bit of two hundred and five.

A security team of 250 people, weapons must be prepared, taking into account the wear and tear of weapons, it means that at least 00 pistols, 00 rifles, even if the number of war horses is halved, at least more than 100, this is not a small number, the Transvaal is not short of horses now, but most of them are horses, real war horses, no matter what time it is.

Luo Ke picked up the list and had to sigh that the demographic dividend of the Chinese is indeed unmatched.

In the past, Roque always thought that because of the Opium War, the Chinese nowadays should be the "sick man of East Asia".

In fact, this is not the case, "Fushou Cream" also requires money, in the Qing Dynasty, the ruling class or the landlord class has the money to buy "Fushou Paste", and the poor must not be able to afford it, so the physical fitness of the Chinese nowadays, because they often have to carry out agricultural labor, compared with the people of the 21st century, the physical fitness is not bad at all, the real difference is nutrition, as long as the nutrition can keep up, the sick man of East Asia?

Huh——

"If you need to buy something, you go to Scarlett to get money, and if you can't buy it in Johannesburg, you go to Christian, this list doesn't work—" Roque didn't look at the list at all.

The gloom on the iron hook's face flashed, and it really didn't work-

"The trained personnel cannot be limited to this list, once a month, the tenth of the ranking is lagged behind, they all go down to the mine, and then draw a tenth to make up for it." What Roque means is to make all miners trained.

"What does a tenth mean?" Iron Hook seems to understand something, but not all of them understand.

"What did you study in night school? Get out of here! If you don't understand what a tenth means, you can mine it for me. Roque was very angry, and when he was in the Matilda gold mine, Roque asked someone to tutor the miners in the language, as well as some basic math knowledge, no need to ask, the iron hook must not have caren.

The iron hook was very obedient, and immediately disappeared from in front of Roque, I don't know why, but I was scolded and I felt beautiful in my heart-

What a!

scolded and ran away with the iron hook, and Scarlett immediately came to the door.

"Mr. Locke, we don't have any money in our account." Scarlett still looked sloppy, and Roque was angry when he looked at it.

"I said you can't just comb your hair? Can't change into clean clothes? Wearing a man's clothes all day, wearing a man's clothes, not washing your face, and the ash on your nose was deliberately wiped by yourself, right? Who are you guarding against? If I wanted to bully you, would you be able to hide until today? "Roque wasn't angry because of Scarlett's raunchyness, but because of Scarlett's ubiquitous defense.

Born in troubled times, being beautiful is a sin for a woman.

Scarlett must have understood this, so Scarlett was sloppy and unkempt all day long, her clothes hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and her body still smelled a little moldy.

It's good for women to have a sense of self-protection, but to that extent, it's a bit excessive.

Not to mention anything else, Scarlett is also the financial director of the Rock Gold Mine now, not only to deal with Roque, the boss, but also to deal with various gods and Buddhas in the future, and her own people have to say that if outsiders see Scarlett, they may not say anything, maybe how to complain about Roque's abuse of employees in their hearts.

What's more, an originally beautiful woman tosses herself into this ghost all day long, does this reflect that Roque is a pervert?

Quite possibly!

Scarlett was dumbfounded, probably more surprised than she was to hear that someone wanted to drink her bathwater.

"Listen, I'm going to pay you £700 a year, just for your expertise, not because you're pretty, this is Purple Town, not Oak Town, this is Rock Gold Mine, not Matilda Gold Mine, no one can bully you here, you'd better make your own money, or you just wait to wash the miners' clothes." Roque now has the ability to protect Scarlett from anyone.

A gold mine with thousands of people, of course, there are also laundry women, Rock Gold Mine provides miners with high-quality services in all directions, so that the miners will remember Roque's goodness, and when they become yeoman farmers or farmers in the future, they will be willing to listen to Roque and vote for the person who really needs it.

Scarlett definitely didn't want to wash the miners' clothes, so Scarlett looked at Roque blankly, and then looked down at her shoes that were almost showing their toes, and she also looked disgusted.

Your sister, I hate myself-

Talent!

The next day, Roque said goodbye to Scarlett, who had changed into a standard professional attire.

Of course, it's not the kind of squeezed suits, one-line skirts, and high heels, and there is no concept of women's professional wear these days.

Scarlett wore a suit top that was obviously modified by herself, which was more form-fitting and had a more obvious waistline, but the exposed area on her chest was not large, but the neckline of her shirt was exposed, and she was not wearing a straight skirt underneath, but a pair of trousers with a little loose legs, and new flat-heeled shoes on her feet, and when Scarlett stood in front of Roque, Roque could still smell a little faint perfume.

Very good, £700 a year, which is really good value for money.

"I've got £5,000 and I'm going to hold on until next month anyway." Roque took the money from Henry, and there was no need to tell Scarlett.

Having a mine at home sounds like a lot of feeling, but in fact, it costs money to develop it, otherwise no one would have sold the gold mine.

Roque had spent all his savings to develop the mine, and without Matilda, Roque would now be on the verge of bankruptcy.

The 5,000 pounds was Roque's advance dividend, and Henry gave the money very happily, for fear that Roque would not want it.

In fact, according to Roque's previous thoughts, Roque really doesn't want the dividends of the Matilda gold mine, as long as the Roque gold mine starts to produce gold, it is enough to support Roque to do anything.

But Henry's relationship still has to be maintained, Baron Philip doesn't believe Roque's judgment, but Henry doesn't doubt it, so Henry resolutely supports Roque, for the sake of those votes controlled by Roque in the future, even if Roque doesn't want dividends, Henry will take the initiative to send it.

"If you don't buy a horse, it should be enough." Scarlett's face was washed and her hair was neat, but she wore a huge black-rimmed glasses, and half of her face was hidden behind them.

"Then don't buy it yet." Roque was angry when he saw Scarlett's ghostly appearance.

From this point of view, Scarlett has indeed succeeded.

It's not all bad news, the gold mine has just started for half a month, and Buck is happy to come to Roque.

"We've found a gold belt, close to pure gold—" Buck said in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.

What are you afraid of?

There are two people in the office, Roque and Buck, the door is ten meters away, and the door is full of Roque's henchmen, even if Roque does Buck in the office, no one will be nosy.

Uh-uh, this one is too dirty, this one is too dirty, and no one likes this tune except for the Royal Navy of the British Empire.
