The Industrial Revolution began with the textile industry, and in the 60s of the 18th century, James Hargreaves, a British textile worker, invented the "Jenny Spinning Machine", and the world officially entered the era of the Industrial Revolution.

The subversion of industrial production for the traditional handicraft industry is revolutionary, the direct impact of high-end goods is less, the low-end goods in the face of the impact of industrial products have no power to fight back, Britain relied on strong ships and guns to force the Qing to open the market, industrial products began to enter the Qing country in large quantities, the traditional handicraft industry of the Qing country was basically wiped out overnight, so the traditional handicraft practitioners who are willing to come to Johannesburg are simply not too many.

It was at this time that Roque became aware of the problem.

In the past, Roque focused his immigration on the war-torn northern Qing Kingdom, and never focused on the relatively stable and wealthy southern Qing Kingdom.

Now it seems that the situation in the south of the Qing Dynasty is not optimistic, stability and prosperity belong only to the elite class, and the life of the common people, especially the urban ones, is very difficult.

This problem is easy to understand, urban civilians have no land, can only rely on work to make a living, once they lose the job to support their families, the life of urban civilians is not as good as the long-term work of the landlord's family.

As far as the current situation of the Qing State is concerned, after the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", the Qing State has been reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

To put it mildly, the war in the north of the Qing Dynasty is even devastating, from top to bottom, running to death, and there are immigration companies constantly digging the foot of the wall, those who can go, those who want to go, those who can't go, and those who don't want to go, are almost gone, and Roque also needs to open up new settlements to ensure the population growth of Nyasaland.

Population is very important at all times, and if there are 100 million Chinese in Nyasaland, Roque will not be able to start a foreign war when the time comes.

This is also the fundamental reason why Roque is wary of the Zulus, who now seem to be very submissive, that is because the overall number of the Zulus is still too small, and the natural resources of Basutolan can still feed the current Zulus.

If the population of the Zulu people increases rapidly in the future to the point that Basutoland's natural resources cannot be satisfied, the Zulus will also have to leave Basutoland and seek more living space.

That's why Roque prides himself on being a member of the Chinese, and if in Europe, when there isn't enough food to eat, then that country will start plundering the outside world.

If it is Chinese, when there is not enough food to eat, they will do everything they can to increase production.

If it is in Africa, when there is not enough food in a certain country, it will start eating people.

Therefore, it is natural that the Chinese should be the most popular ethnic group in the world, because the traditional core of Han culture is really excellent.

Now the Johannesburg city government has understood this, so some time ago when the vote to use Chinese as the official language of Johannesburg, except for those few stubborn guys, all the parliamentarians voted in favor, not all because Roque was on the scene, the fundamental reason is because the Chinese in Johannesburg deserve their vote in favor of the hard work paid by Johannesburg.

In Southern Africa, the contrast is really stark, with Johannesburg and Orange starting to rebuild almost simultaneously, with Johannesburg now stronger than ever, and Orange struggling.

In order to increase the population, the Transvaal tried everything from top to bottom, and the effect was indeed there, but those Europeans who came to Johannesburg were only willing to stay in the city, and no one wanted to run a farm at all.

There is also a stark contrast between the Indians and the Zulus, the Indians do not go away without whipping, and the Zulus are not human at all in the Transvaal, so the Transvaal has no choice at all.

After visiting the Johannesburg Medical School, Yamaguchi hopes to send international students to study at the Johannesburg Medical School on behalf of the Japanese government.

For this reason, Yamaguchi made a very excessive request, hoping that the Johannesburg Medical School would provide scholarships for Japanese students.

Scholarships are common in this era, and while European countries colonize the world, they are also exporting culture and values to the world, providing scholarships for students from other countries, brainwashing international students and influencing other countries, which has been a common means until the 21st century.

Douglas certainly thinks so, too.

"You don't have to think about it, the places in medical schools are precious, and we don't have enough resources to train Japanese people." Roque vetoed that Johannesburg does not need to export culture to Japan, the Japanese have learned from the Chinese for thousands of years, and now they have become white-eyed wolves that cannot be raised, even if the Japanese pay a high price to study at the Johannesburg Medical School, Roque will not accept it.

"Sir, offering a little scholarship to Japanese students is more conducive to our good relationship with the Japanese government, so that we can sell more goods to the Japanese government." Douglas is no longer a respectable academic, but a pesky politician and businessman.

A high IQ is indeed powerful, and the use of IQ in learning can be successful, and the use of IQ in politics and business is as good as it.

So those brothers who often say "If it's me, I'll do it" are all saved, the probability of scumbags mixing into the big brother of society is still a bit low, and the younger brother will be the younger brother at any time.

"Mr. Senator, the Japanese government has no choice." Roque has changed his address to Douglas from "professor" to "Mr. Councilman."

Theoretically, Douglas was right, but Roque disagreed.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed more beneficial to sell goods to the Japanese people by giving the Japanese government some benefits and establishing good relations with the Japanese government.

The crux of the matter is that Japan has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the more it shows goodwill to the Japanese, the more the Japanese kick their noses in the face, so Roque will not give the Japanese government even a little benefit, but will cut the flesh from the Japanese government, so that the Japanese government will respect Johannesburg in the heart.

What's more, now the Japanese government has no choice at all, the war has been going on until now, the Japanese government is close to running out of oil, all over the world begging grandpa to tell grandma to buy war materials, all countries in the world have a tacit understanding on this issue, and all materials related to the war, the price of weapons has risen sharply in recent times, the price of weapons has doubled compared with a year ago, and almost all weapons to be scrapped can be sold at the price of new weapons, so Roque does not need to please the Japanese government at all, love to buy or not.

As for the special medicine for wounds, Roque is more resolute, and when he sells it to the Japanese, he will add a lot of strings and conditions.

This is also a common routine in European countries, and it was also learned by the Japanese later, and then the Japanese played this routine perfectly.

"Sir, we're going to take a long-term view—besides, it's better to call me Professor." Douglas said something that made Roque thunder.

Looking ahead?

Roque's "vision" has reached a century later, is it long enough!

"Professor, Japan is a country that has studied with the Chinese for thousands of years, and as a result, you know, for thousands of years, Japan has only improved a little in the last ten years, and then Japan can't wait to start invading the Qing country, so you don't have to look too far ahead of this country, give them scholarships now, and in the future they will ask for interest-free loans and gratuitous aid, and then will they give it or not? Not giving the same will worsen the relationship. Roque patiently explained that the character of the Japanese will not be summed up until the twenty-first century, and now Douglas certainly does not understand.

It is entirely possible to regard the rise of Japan as a history of blood and tears of the Chinese, and since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has completed industrialization step by step by sucking blood from the Chinese.

After World War II, Japan's luck has not ended, relying on the support of the Americans, Japan gradually regained its strength, although at this time Japan no longer has the right to wage war abroad, but the inferiority of the Japanese is also fully reflected in business, all kinds of contract traps, all kinds of pit abduction, the Chinese suffered too much from the Japanese.

This is actually a good thing, with such a good student by his side, sooner or later he will be able to invade the Chinese people's training.

"Is that so?" Douglas looked shocked, obviously just knowing that the Japanese were like this.

"Definitely, I'm Chinese, and I know the Japanese too well." Roque still couldn't help but carry the private goods.

Not all Chinese knew about the Japanese, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, and the results of the war prompted many Chinese to reflect on why the Japanese were able to defeat Russia, while the Qing were repeatedly defeated in foreign wars.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty at that time set off a wave of study in Japan, and many Chinese people of insight took Japan as a study object to study in Japan, which also laid the root cause for the later Japanese invasion of China.

The students who went to Japan to study were all young people, and after they returned to China after completing their studies, they happened to become the backbone of society in the thirties and forties, so there were so many traitors during the Japanese invasion of China.

If nothing else, Japan basically has no chance of invading Johannesburg, so there is no need for Roque to cultivate pro-Chinese forces in Japan.

"Forget it, in that case, we have to raise the price of the commodity and get all the profits as much as possible." Douglas became quick and saw no need to have good relations with the Japanese, and immediately began to sharpen his knife.

This is in line with the performance of qualified politicians and businessmen.

In fact, the price of drugs is already very high, and Roque has never been involved in the pharmaceutical industry before, although he knows that the pharmaceutical industry is profitable, but he didn't expect that it would be violent to this extent.

Marx said that a profit of 300 percent will make people not afraid of crime, and even the danger of hanging their heads.

In the pharmaceutical industry, 300 percent is simply a blood loss.
