350 excuses

It is an unwritten unspoken rule that everyone will subconsciously abide by, and the end of unruly is to be excluded as a whole, and they will never get any chance in the future.

The reason why Britain respects the king is not because of how worthy of respect is, but because the king can help the British government maintain colonial rule, so the British government can tolerate the privileges of the king in India, and the behavior of the family deviates from this principle, so the British government will abandon the family of the king.

Roque was very sensible and made everyone very satisfied, and Count Minto also happily approved Roque's application to return to southern Africa, and held a grand farewell ceremony for Roque and the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division.

At the ceremony, Roque accepted the title of earl granted by the Nepalese government, which is only an honorary title and has no real power or practical interests.

But nominally, Roque is now an earl, at least in Nepal in the future, Roque wants to recruit Gurkha mercenaries, and he does not need to cooperate with the British government, so Roque has also set up a conscription point in Nepal, and the conditions of the conscription point are more perfect than those of the British government, which is more conducive to the new First Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division to replenish fresh blood.

The British government's recruitment point is just a simple recruitment point, and there are few staff.

Roque's recruiting point is directly a barracks, with its own barracks and training grounds, and the umbrella company is responsible for the operation of the conscription point, and the recruits will go through a period of preliminary training after entering the barracks, and then let the new 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesia Division pick first, and finally it will be the turn of the umbrella company.

For this arrangement, Xia Jiu was obviously very satisfied.

The Umbrella Company is doing well in India, not only in terms of its individual business, but also in cooperation with government departments, taking on some security tasks, as well as managing some prisons in Kolkata, Dhaka, and even Delhi.

In fact, the British government's expectations for the umbrella company are still very high, but there is a reminder from Roque that the umbrella company refuses all work related to the Qing country and only limits its business to India.

Of course, some business practices are not limited to India, such as the jadeite mines in Myanmar.

Although jadeite is popular in the Chinese world, more than 95% of the world's jadeite is produced in Myanmar, and there is no mining machinery at this time, so all mining is manual, and the efficiency is very low.

In fact, there are already construction machinery in southern Africa, but it obviously takes some time to apply it to mines, and now it is mainly used to build roads and bridges, after the umbrella company takes over the management of prisons, many prisons have been overwhelmed and overcrowded, although Xia Jiu can sell people to southern Africa, but after all, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so Xia Jiu simply went to Myanmar to buy a few mines, and then sent those prisoners to Myanmar to mine.

Burma was also a British colony at this time, and was a province of India, after the British conquered Burma through the Anglo-Burmese War, a large number of Indian immigrants poured into Burma, and now the contradictions between the local people in Myanmar and the Indians are also very big, and the British government began to play the role of a mediator at this time, for this role, the British government is obviously more handy.

The British do not know the actual value of jadeite, so they don't think much of the jadeite ore, relatively speaking, the British prefer the various gemstones of Ceylon rather than the jadeite of Myanmar, which leads to the fact that most of the jadeite mines in Myanmar are still controlled by local power figures in Myanmar.

For Myanmar, the umbrella company is an out-and-out dragon crossing the river, Xia Jiu quickly got two jade mines in Myanmar, and bought a large number of rough stones in Myanmar, and then all kinds of stones began to be sent to Nyasaland by boat, Xia Jiu didn't care if there was jade in those stones, anyway, the stones were transported away first.

The overall price of jadeite is still relatively cheap in this era, because Westerners do not recognize jadeite at all, so jadeite only has a market in the Chinese world.

Although the value of jadeite is relatively high after being made into jewelry, the price of jadeite rough is really just the price of "stone", Xia Jiu buys jadeite rough from Myanmar, sometimes the price is not as high as the price of imported marble from German southwest Africa, it is really cheap.

Roque didn't dare to do these things at all, even if the value of the jade soared, it was also after the Chinese as a whole became rich, and now after those stones were sent back to Nyasaland, they would definitely be thrown into a corner to cool down for a while, and Roque returned to southern Africa, or he still had to focus on the autonomy of southern Africa.

At the end of June, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division finally finished its work in India and returned to Johannesburg.

Roark finally met Phyllis and little Gavin, who had been thinking about it day and night.

When she was in Dhaka, Phyllis told Roque through a telegram that little Gavin would call her father, and Roque regretted missing that special moment, but Roque did not regret it, although Phyllis said in the telegram that she wanted to visit Roque in India, but Roque considered the safety of Phyllis and Gavin, and still resolutely refused, so Phyllis now has an excuse, and it is a little itchy when she sees Roque.

"The banker hasn't been in Johannesburg for a few months, and I heard that he is back in France, really?" Ada's secrecy is quite good, although Phyllis knows that Ida is not in Johannesburg during this time, but she does not know where Ida has gone.

"yes, I don't know—" Roque pretended to be stupid.

Phyllis is not stupid, and the next scene of domestic violence is immediately: "Don't think I don't know-"

Of course, Roque will not suffer, and then he will go back to domestic violence.

The specifics are not described, and it was not until a week later that Roque began to return to work.

After leaving Johannesburg for half a year, Johannesburg has changed a lot, the United Autonomy of Southern Africa promoted by Count Selborn, has had a good and bad impact on Johannesburg, it is obvious that there are more and more turbans and Boers in Johannesburg, and the police have to send many homeless people out of the country every day, but more people don't know where to send them at all, and they can't put them in prison, so they have to throw them into mines to mine.

"Some Boers are doing everything to return to the Transvaal, some people actually go back to Europe first, and then sign up to immigrate to the Transvaal, so that they can justifiably return to Johannesburg, most of these people will not be able to find a job for a while, they don't want to do hard work, they don't want to do more work, they don't want to do more and earn less, they can't get a good job, they don't have any ability at all, the biggest ability is to eat, the city government spends hundreds of pounds a day to help these people, So our current immigration policy is very problematic and must be changed a little bit as soon as possible. "At the city council meeting, Home Secretary James Bernard strongly opposed the current immigration policy.

"That's right, these people are idle, lazy, they come to Johannesburg for all the benefits that the city government provides to new immigrants, such people are not welcome anywhere, they don't work hard in Orange, it's the same in Johannesburg, no, in Johannesburg, because of the benefits of the city government, they don't starve to death, so they will be more excessive than when they were in Orange." The Chief of Police, Harry Spencer, is also full of complaints, and the recent deterioration of law and order in Johannesburg has a lot to do with the Boers.

Roque didn't know about these things yet, and asked the immigration director next to him, Ulysses Noel.

"In order to allow the newcomers to adapt to life in Johannesburg in the short term, the city government is now giving away free meal vouchers for those newcomers, with which they can eat at the restaurants designated by the city government, which was originally only a short-term benefit to help newcomers through the difficult stage of their first arrival in Johannesburg, but it is used by some Boers as a reason for them not to work." Ulysses Noel is also very worried, as the director of immigration, Johannesburg cannot attract enough immigrants, Ulysses Noel is very worried, and the new immigrants who come now are all this kind of goods, and Ulysses Noel is also more worried.

Roque was simply speechless, social welfare is a good thing, the more welfare, the higher the economic development, the essence of social welfare is to protect all people in society, for special people, but in Johannesburg, social welfare is obviously played by those who think they are smart, and the final result of this is definitely the abolition of all social benefits in Johannesburg.

However, this cancellation is not a matter of two sentences, Johannesburg in order to attract immigrants, these social benefits were formulated, and now it is said that the cancellation will be canceled, so that those real immigrants who really need these benefits will be done?

So those who think they are smart are really tumors, greedy for small and cheap will not only affect others, in fact, the ultimate harm is themselves, the key is this mentality, accustomed to being the weak to be charised, then in the end they will really become weak, and will never be able to stand on their own feet.

"The current immigration policy is not up to us, this is a regulation left by Governor Ade, and we can only adjust it now, not completely abolish it." Marcus Beaufort, who succeeded Philip as mayor, was also helpless.

"Then gradually abolish, for example, set a time limit for the issuance of this meal voucher, three months, or half a year, half a year is enough time for the new immigrants to adapt to life in Johannesburg, right? If you can't find a job for half a year, then we don't need such immigrants in Johannesburg. "Roque really doesn't look down on those who think they're smart, and all the reasons why he can't find a job are actually excuses in the end.

It's just that it's not high, it's not low.
