Parliamentary seats in Southern Africa are determined on the basis of the number of voters in each state, and the electorate here refers specifically to male citizens who have the right to vote.

Ade's term as prime minister was until 1912, and now Ade has not yet said whether he will seek re-election or not, and Philip will definitely run.

There is no opinion on which of these two people comes to power, no matter who comes to power, Roque is the winner.

By 1912, women over the age of 30 in southern Africa would also have the right to vote compared to the general elections of 1908, so the number of voters would increase considerably.

In 1912, there was a greater increase in the number of Chinese voters than women.

In 1908, in order to limit the number of Chinese voters, the Election Commission at that time stipulated that only male citizens of southern Africa who had a fixed five-year tax record could have the right to vote, which also limited the right to vote only Chinese who came to southern Africa before 1903 and had a continuous tax payment record.

By 1912, the deadline would be 1907, and there would be nearly 300,000 more valid votes, not to mention the whole of southern Africa, and Nyasaland alone.

What is the concept of 300,000 sheets?

In 1908, there were fewer than 300,000 male citizens in all of southern Africa who had the right to vote.

So don't look at Roque as far away as Nyasaland, but his influence on Pretoria has not weakened at all, votes are everything in these years, and without votes, the People's Party, which has a monopoly on power in another time and space, can only be marginalized.

Owen is now finally feeling the threat of his vote.

If the Chinese in southern Africa no longer support the Liberal Party, then the Liberal Party will fall from the throne of the largest party in Congress in an instant.

Fortunately, Roque is also a member of the Matilda family, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

"How many Chinese are there in Nyasaland now?" Owen asked the question seemingly casually.

The number of Chinese in Nyasaland has not stabilized, and the federal government has gone to great lengths to increase the population, envisaging various benefits and promising benefits, with the result that the number of whites has increased at a rate of less than one-tenth of that of the Chinese.

The Nyasaland Department of Immigration also reports data to the federal government at random, from 900,000 in the previous year to 700,000 in the next, which is an insult to IQ in the words of the federal government's immigration department.

Yes, in order to attract more immigrants in southern Africa, there is indeed a special department in charge, but the office of the immigration place is in Cape Town, not Port Edward, which has the largest population import.

"Now I can't tell, it should be more than a million-" The attitude of the Roque newspaper data is as casual as that of the immigration bureau.

"Should?" Owen couldn't help but laugh and cry that all the states in southern Africa, except Nyasaland, widely publicized the increase in population as a political achievement, and Nyasaland was so casual on this issue.

"It's true that there are no exact figures, many immigrants are registered in Port Edward, but they will not settle in Nyasaland, many of them are relatives and friends, and after registering in Port Edward, they will go to the Transvaal, Rhodesia, Bechuana, and even Cape Town, so the entry record of Port Edward is inaccurate." Roque can't help it, when the population increase figures can be measured as political achievements, all the data is actually inaccurate.

When population is no longer the main problem in Southern Africa, then the population data will be real.

"How many students are enrolled in state schools in Nyasaland?" Owen, on the other hand, only permanent residents of Nyasaland are eligible for education in Nyasaland public schools, and this number will never fluctuate.

"This data is even more difficult to say, there are many kinds of state schools in Nyasaland, not only primary and secondary schools stipulated by the Ministry of Education, but also kindergartens for infants and toddlers, and literacy classes for adults, and the number of literacy classes fluctuates greatly." There is also no data on this side of Roque.

If, as required by the Ministry of Education in Southern Africa, public education is only available to the lower age groups, adults are basically abandoned, after all, adults are busy with work and really do not have time to start learning from scratch.

However, the Ministry of Education underestimated the Chinese people's thirst for knowledge and culture, and many white people were not interested in public education, and even if the federal government implemented public education, they would not let their children go to school.

The Chinese tradition is that everything is inferior only to high schooling, no matter how poor the family is, they must try their best to let their children receive education, there was no opportunity in the Qing Dynasty before, but now the government of Nyasarland provides free education, so the enthusiasm of adults is also very high.

"Only primary and secondary schools are counted-" Owen is also very helpless, the enthusiasm of the Chinese is surprising in the whole of southern Africa, and now all the states in southern Africa have begun to set up institutions of higher learning one after another, and several colleges and universities have begun to recruit students, and the Ministry of Education counted last year that the proportion of Chinese students in major colleges and universities is more than 60 percent.

If it is only at the University of Nyasala, the high proportion of Chinese students is acceptable, after all, the majority population of Nyasaland is Chinese.

However, the fact that none of these universities that have just started recruiting students is located in Nyasaland, and the proportion of Chinese students is still very high, which is very concerning.

For example, the Cape of Good Hope University in Cape Town, where the majority population of Cape Town is white and highly educated, but Chinese students still account for 60 percent of all students at Cape of Good Hope, which is unacceptable to many people.

This 60 percent is still the premise that the Cape of Good Hope University does not organize entrance exams, and if it organizes entrance exams, then I am afraid that the proportion of Chinese students will exceed 80 percent.

The University of Good Hope is also the only university in southern Africa with a proportion of Chinese students below 80 percent.

Probably since last year, there have been more and more rumors about Chinese people in southern Africa, and some people have even sensationalized that southern Africa is about to become a Chinese country, and white people will be marginalized, which to a certain extent does affect the unity of southern Africa.

"In this regard, it seems that there really has not been a count—at least 300,000—" Roque's answer did confirm that some speculations were not entirely groundless.

Owen's expression wasn't too surprised, but it was a little complicated.

This is why Nyasaland deliberately does not provide accurate data.

There are some facts that are really hurtful to say.

In Southern Africa, all public school students outside Nyasaland do not necessarily add up to 300,000.

If this trend continues, in a few years, I am afraid that the resources of higher education in southern Africa will be monopolized by Chinese students, which means that more and more Chinese people will enter industries that were previously monopolized by white people, such as bank executives, doctors, and government employees, and these industries are already in this trend.

In the past two years, more and more students have graduated from the University of Nyasaland and the Johannesburg Medical School, and while medical students are popular, their employment is still limited, and it seems that the impact will be small.

The University of Nyasaland is simply crazy, these college students who have just come out of campus are full of energy, motivation, and enthusiasm for work and life, and Owen's Liberal Party has also hired some graduates of the University of Nyasaland, and these graduates are very good at work, and they have spent a short period of adaptation, and they immediately seek medical treatment to integrate into the environment as quickly as possible, and Owen's current secretaries and assistants are all Chinese.

No way, compared to those previous staff, the advantage of these graduates is simply crushing.

Although Nyasaland already has a Chinese-dominated Nyasaland Party, there are still many Chinese in the Liberal Party, at least the Chinese in Johannesburg are Liberals, most of these Chinese do not know English, nor Boolean, and even Chinese is obscure, don't forget that this is the beginning of the 19th century, Mandarin was not implemented in the era, Cantonese Hokkien is also the same as a duck for northerners, and the difficulty is no less than English.

The biggest advantage of these graduates is the language, they are fluent in Chinese and English, and some graduates even know Afrikan, which gives them an absolute advantage in their work.

How important is language?

In the Qing Dynasty, you can speak a few words of foreign language as a translator, and the whole family will be lifted out of poverty and become rich in no time.

Of course, for these graduates who have just entered the society, language is only one of their advantages, not even the biggest advantage, thinking is their greatest advantage, learning to think independently, so that these graduates have just entered the society, they will burst out with huge energy, almost subversive energy.

"In the last two years, it has become more and more difficult to immigrate, and we used to be able to get the whole village away, but now we can only cobble it together, and I guess this is not the most difficult-" Roque looked heavy, but in fact, the problem was not so serious.

Remember those Americans, who had already returned to the Qing with all kinds of weapons purchased from Nyasaland.

If there is no accident, then the Qing Kingdom will enter a state of chaos, which will definitely be a huge disaster for the Chinese in the Qing Kingdom, but it will be a new opportunity for Southern Africa.

In fact, before deciding to cooperate with those Americans, Roque seriously considered this issue, if the weapons were sold to those Americans, then it was not known how many Chinese would die under the weapons produced in Nyasaland, so if you look at it this way, the role played by Nyasaland in the chaos of the Qing Kingdom is actually not honorable.

But if it is not sold, it will not prevent the Qing Kingdom from falling into chaos, thinking about those young revolutionaries in another time and space who have gone forward with their own rudimentary weapons, Roque feels that he should do something, even if it is to play a dishonorable role, he can make the Qing Empire fall a little faster.

If you have to replace the old with the new, then speed up the process as soon as possible.
