593 Seriously mistracked
The relationship between teachers and students is a very special relationship in the Han cultural circle, the status of the teacher is juxtaposed with the elders in the family, and the severity of "bullying the teacher" is still ranked before the "extermination of the ancestors", which shows the influence of the teacher on the students.
For a long time, Philip wanted to compete with Ade for the position of prime minister, although it seemed that Philip, who had the help of Roque Henry, had a great chance, in fact, Adel's advantage was still unshakable, and it was impossible in a short time, so Philip could only find another way, obviously taking a fancy to the growing influence of the University of Nyasaland.
The University of Nyasaland is indeed very important, Roque did not directly agree, and he still had to communicate with Owen first.
As Pretoria became the capital of Southern Africa, the Liberal Party's headquarters were relocated to Pretoria, and the headquarters building was named the Freedom Palace, which complemented Ade's official residence, the Palace of Justice.
In terms of scale, the Freedom Palace is not far behind the Palace of Justice, and the cost of building the Freedom Palace was voluntarily donated by all members of the Liberal Party.
It was really voluntary, there was no coercion, of course rich party members had to donate more, Roque and Xiao Si both donated 10,000 pounds at that time, although the rand has been widely used in southern Africa, and the pound has not been abolished, it can be freely circulated.
The entire Liberty Palace cost about 150,000 pounds, and had about 150 staff members, most of whom were women.
"Let's meet, wouldn't it be good to make an appointment at the racecourse?" Owen complained when he saw Roque.
Roque can understand that as the leader of the Liberal Party, the Freedom Palace is Owen's chassis, but Roque's influence on the Liberal Party is too great, and Owen's secretary sees that Roque is star-eyed, which makes Owen have a serious sense of crisis.
Roque's party membership card is No. 2, Xiao Si's is No. 1, and No. 3 was originally Aiden's, and later Aiden took the initiative to give it to Owen.
"Playthings are demoralized, I don't know what is beautiful about horse racing, and if you want to gamble for money, isn't it good to play mahjong." Roque doesn't like horse racing, and he doesn't like to gamble for money, so it's still okay to play a hygienic mahjong.
Horse racing has always been the most popular sport in the Transvaal, and after the Boer War, the first building in Pretoria to be restored was the Hippodrome, which was restored faster than the Palace of Justice.
"Playing mahjong is your Chinese sport, we white people still like horse racing, we don't interfere with each other." Owen occasionally plays mahjong with his family when he is at home, but it is difficult for Owen to understand the more complex rules, such as spring, summer, autumn, winter and the cards of plum, bamboo, orchid and chrysanthemum.
"Philip wants you to go to the University of Nyasaland, what do you think?" Roque is also not filial, and he doesn't even call him a father.
This is the habit of Philip's family, and other families don't know that Philip's family is like this.
"What can I think, do I have a choice-" Owen sighed as he looked up to the sky, a man in his thirties, with no freedom at all, and this is the leader of the Liberal Party, which is really insulting to the name.
"With that kind of attitude, I don't dare let you go to the University of Nyasaland." Roque was worried about Owen's state, and if Owen affected the University of Nyasaland, it would be more than worth the loss.
"Do you have a choice?" Owen was resentful, and he was indeed under pressure around Philip.
"Of course, if you don't want to, I can go and talk to Philip." Roque is unashamed, all for family harmony.
"No, of course I'm willing to go to the University of Nyasaland, by the way, you can get to know the Nyasaland Party, your Nyasaland Party actually won four seats in the Parliament, and now it is the third largest party in the Parliament, what do you want to do? Is it deliberately divisive? "Owen's resentment is here, no wonder.
The largest party in the Southern African Parliament is undisputed by the Liberal Party, the second party is the People's Party founded by Louis Botha and Jan Smoltz, the Nyasaland Party seems to have been born out of nowhere, and the Cape's Progressive Party has fallen to fourth.
"I'm still a member of the Liberal Party." Roque was noncommittal, the Liberals are also full of problems right now, and if Irving is not given a sense of urgency, the Liberals will sooner or later become the next progressive party.
In the long run, the benefits of a one-party dictatorship are far greater than those of a two-party system or a multi-party system.
The key is voting rights.
Now the people who have the right to vote in all countries are elites, and civilians and women have no right to vote, and the elite class, no matter how much they criticize it, must have the reason they should have, and they will not vote for some candidates because of their false promises, and their positions are relatively firm.
In the future, when the right to vote is liberalized, candidates will write countless empty checks in order to win more votes, and elections will become the biggest scam in the world, and countries will be kidnapped by votes, and farces will emerge one after another every four or five years, and politicians will be focused on canvassing votes, and how much more attention can be put into developing the country.
Luo Ke is waiting now, and when the population base, economic capacity, and political resources of the Chinese occupy an overwhelming advantage, then Luo Ke can do whatever he wants.
Not yet.
"The Liberal Party has never harmed the interests of the Chinese, from the very beginning of fighting for the right to vote for the Chinese, to now insisting on bringing in new immigrants, you should know how hard the Liberal Party has put in, and I even deliberately ignore the interests of some white people for the sake of the Chinese, doesn't this satisfy you?" Owen said that some of the whites were Boers, which was also a stealing concept, and no matter how much the Liberals tried to curry favor with the Boers, the Boers would not support the Liberals.
"Owen, the Nyasaland Party was not founded by me, if you want, the Nyasaland Party can be merged into the Liberal Party." Roque took the initiative.
"Really?" Owen couldn't believe that the seats in Congress were still precious, and there were only 49 in total.
"Of course it's true, I not only support the merger of the Nyasaland Party into the Liberal Party, but I also support the merger of the People's Party, the Progressive Party into the Liberal Party, and preferably there is only one party in Parliament, so that we can focus all our energy on developing the country's economy." Roque really doesn't like elections, and Philip is a good example, just after the last election, he started planning for the next election, and how much attention can be put into work.
"The Progressive Party can still discuss, but it is too difficult for the People's Party." Owen was stupid, because the Progressive Party can still negotiate with Xiao Si, as long as the benefits given are enough, the Liberal Party, which is now scattered, does not have many hardcore members, and the People's Party is too difficult, and the relationship between the Boers and the British and Chinese is difficult to reconcile, unless the strength of southern Africa is gathered to support Orange, then it is estimated that the Boers will compromise.
"How big? If the BJP disagrees, then purge them out of the National Assembly. "Roque is murderous, although the art of politics is compromise, but compromise is not everything, and it must be decisive when it is time to be decisive.
"How?" Owen humbly asked.
"Suffrage-" Roque was not angry, the election in the modern sense was created by the British, Owen is a standard British, and he actually asked a Chinese born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze for something related to the election, which is amazing.
"How to get the right to vote, not to give the Boers the right to vote?" Owen's head is probably full of paste, and his thinking is also very rigid.
"The constitution stipulates that only formal male citizens with tax records can have the right to vote if they meet the standard of residence and have a tax record, and if we raise this tax standard a little, we can exclude the vast majority of Boers, and then the BJP will not just toss around." Roque figured out the rules, Orange's current economic situation determines that the vast majority of Boers have no tax records at all, and if the standard is raised again, then it is hard to say how many Boers are left with voting rights.
"It's a bit risky." Owen was undecided, most of the Boers did not have a tax record, but most of the Chinese also had no tax records, so this was a double-edged sword, and it was not good to harm others and hurt themselves, but in the end, it cheapened the Cape's Progressive Party.
"It's okay, we have at least a year to prepare." Roque has confidence in the Chinese, and in terms of saving money, all the ethnic groups in the world have one to say, and everyone here is rubbish, even including the Jews who are famous for their earning power.
Jews can make money, and the gap between them and the Chinese in terms of saving money is not a little bit, the vast majority of whites have no awareness of saving money at all, and the big nobles and businessmen in Britain all make a fortune by robbery, so Capital says that capital comes to this world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth.
This conclusion is not true for the Chinese, the capital of Britain and the United States is indeed dripping with blood and filth in every pore, Britain started with pirates, and the United States started with the massacre of Indians, so it doesn't matter how clean the clothes are, the body odor on the body can only be covered by perfume.
The vast majority of the wealth accumulation of the Chinese people is based on hard work, not to mention the artistic processing of those literary works, the real situation is that when it comes to the busy agricultural season, the vast majority of landlords also have to pick up the sickle and work in the fields.
This is the case in southern Africa, the same farm, the Boer farmer hires a few Africans, and then begins to enjoy life, but the Chinese farmer is thrifty and thrifty, can do it himself and absolutely does not hire anyone to help, the granary is full but there is not much sense of security, every year is the new grain into the warehouse to eat old grain, do the Chinese not know that the new grain is delicious?
Born in sorrow and died in peace.
Until Roque left, Owen kept a dull expression.
Roque doesn't matter when Owen starts to implement it, the method Roque said that if Owen doesn't have the courage to put it into practice, then Roque will do it himself.
It's just that when Roque does it himself, he will accidentally injure the British, which is also difficult to avoid.
