The "big guy" has a roll of paper in his belly, don't get me wrong, it's not pounds, it's not a check, Roque isn't so vulgar, and Phyllis isn't so superficial.

What did Roque write?

When she first discovered that the "big guy" had a mystery hidden in his belly, Phyllis thought it was a love poem.

When I opened it, Roque actually wrote a full joke.

For example: there is a man who is hit by a horse-drawn carriage in London, he is in the hospital, and the doctor says to him, they have good news and bad news, do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news first?

He said he wanted to hear the bad news first.

The doctor said, we're going to have to amputate both of your thighs.

What about the good news, he asked?

The doctor replied: The good news is that the guy next to the bed wants to buy your new shoes—

To be honest, Roque didn't laugh at all when he saw these jokes, but Phyllis almost didn't laugh to death, and desperately covered her mouth with a pillow for fear of alarming her family.

This is probably the funniest letter Phyllis has ever received in her life.

After laughing, Phyllis was a little stupid.

The key is this intention, if Roque says "I miss you" throughout, then there is a high probability that it will increase Phyllis's thoughts and make Phyllis more painful, so Roque wrote such a letter, no other meaning, just to make Phyllis happy.

Phyllis was indeed so happy that she decided to watch it every day before she went to bed.

——

Roque was also very happy, 1,500 pounds, enough for Spike to do anything, Hawley and Connie successfully completed the registration at the Home Office, and all the parties probably did not think about the impact of this incident on the future Transvaal and even South Africa.

Roque could vaguely feel it, but Roque was not sure either, the situation in the Transvaal was complicated, and Roque could only try his best.

Completing the registration means that Hawley and Connie become legally husband and wife.

Although Hawley has been removed from the Cape Town Police Service, Roque can also have Hawley re-employed at the Johannesburg Police Service if he wishes.

Roque specifically asked Hawley for his opinion.

"Head, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!" Holly's answer was categorical, and it seemed that even if Roque arranged for Holly to mine, Holly would not hesitate.

Roque will definitely not let Holly go to mining, and certainly will not make decisions on behalf of Holly: "Don't put your fate in the hands of others, no matter what time it is, no matter how good he is to you, you have a wife now, you have an unborn child, you are responsible for the family." ”

Hawley was in a hurry to speak.

Roque stopped with a gesture: "You have three choices, the first is to go to the Johannesburg Police Department to continue as a police officer, I can arrange for you to be in charge of internal work, no need to go out on duty, there is no danger; Second, stay and work in the Luo mine, you also know that there is a lack of managers in the mine, you have been a policeman, you have been in charge of a refugee camp, you must be more reliable than those miners who don't know anything; Thirdly, you can buy a farm near the gold mine, and be a farmer, the land near it is very cheap, and I will lend it to you if you have no money, rest assured, being a farmer is also very promising. ”

Roque let Hawley choose for himself, in fact, these options are good, especially the last one.

In the past, the Chinese had come to Johannesburg to work on a large scale, but because the Chinese were inhumanely abused in Johannesburg, they did not have the slightest good impression of Johannesburg, so after the contract ended, the vast majority of the Chinese returned to the Qing Dynasty, and only a small number of Chinese stayed in Johannesburg.

The first thing that Roque wanted to change was that period of history, the farms around the Roque Gold Mine, which Roque had prepared for these Chinese miners.

Of course, in order for the Chinese miners to stay willingly, it is not enough to create conditions, Roque also needs some demonstration effect, and only when the Chinese miners see the benefits of staying in Johannesburg, they will willingly stay.

If Holly chooses the third option, Roque will give Hawley the greatest discount, not only to sell the land to Hawley at a low price, but also to help Hawley build a house, buy farm tools, buy livestock, and even if Hawley can't run a farm, Roque will buy Hawley the next family business, which can play a sufficient demonstration effect.

Hawley's choice was simple: "Head, second." ”

"The third one is better." Roque reminded Hawley.

"First, just the second, I'm not a farmer, I'm not a policeman, if it weren't for you, I might have been sent back to the Qing Kingdom, Connie and Anne would also be imprisoned in a concentration camp, and I would sell my life to you in my life." Holly Grace Newspaper.

Roque looked at Hawley, who had a righteous and awe-inspiring face, and smiled: "It's not that serious, you first follow Buck to learn management slowly, the farm should be bought, you can't be busy, just hire a few Zulus to work for you." ”

The more Holly reciprocates, the less Roark will treat Holly, money is meaningless to Roarke, Roark has never cared about money since the first day he came to this era, because Roark knows that as a traverser, he can't be short of money in this life, and for a traverser, making money may be the easiest.

But loyal henchmen are lacking at all times.

People have a price, loyalty is priceless!

"Hire, hire?" Hawley didn't expect to become a landlord by accident.

"yes, hire someone to do the work for you, you don't care, Reed, call Christian and ask him to send ten people—no, twenty." Roark had a shameless slave owner face.

There is no way, in this environment, people are so easy to expand, Johannesburg is still in the military, and there is no law.

"Head, I-" Holly rubbed his hands nervously, and Roque knew at a glance that most of them were shy.

"You go to Buck, and as for your salary, it's at the level of the Iron Hook." Roque is generous, this is also a thousand dollars to buy horse bones.

It is estimated that Hawley doesn't know what the salary of the iron hook is, so Hawley is not too excited.

Wait for Hawley to leave before Anton speaks.

"Really, I don't know what shit luck this guy has taken-" Anton was a little jealous, the hook's annual salary was 700 pounds, and Anton knew.

"Jealous?" Roque is funny.

"I'm so jealous, I'm only £350 a year as an inspector." Anton is indeed jealous.

"Then you come, I'll give you a thousand." Roque was equally unstingy with Anton.

Anton laughed, a thousand is a lot, but it is not enough to tempt Anton.

The salary of the inspector is indeed 350 pounds, but he can't stand the gray income, Roque also worked as an inspector, and the gray income is almost 200 pounds per month, a thousand pounds, which sounds like a lot, but it's really not much.

"To be honest, if it weren't for so many of our brothers in Cape Town, I would have wanted to come to Johannesburg." Anton didn't stay in Cape Town just for money, the Cape Town Chinese police also needed a standard-bearer, and when Roque left Cape Town, Anton was Cape Town's standard-bearer.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future, we can't give up Oak Town now, wait for us to gain a foothold in Johannesburg, and then we will talk about it." Roque has a complete plan, Oaktown is good, but Johannesburg is even better.

In Roque's plan, the Chinese in Oaktown were to gradually move to Johannesburg.

Although it took a lot of effort to rebuild Oaktown, the future of Johannesburg has better prospects than Oaktown.

If Roque's "immigration" plan can be implemented smoothly, then in the future, whether it is the colonial government or the autonomous federation, the Chinese will have a great say in the Transvaal, and at that time, Roque may not be able to change the situation of the entire South African Federation, but at least in the Transvaal, Roque will have enough influence.

"Give up Oak Town?" Anton didn't expect that Roque would actually give up Oak Town.

"Give up when it's time to give up—" Roque had a choice in his heart, willing to give up, willing to give up, how could he get it if he didn't give up: "Oak Town, it's too close to Cape Town, and Cape Town is definitely the center of British rule, so if we want to live comfortably, we have to leave Cape Town far away." ”

Roque didn't want to drill into the deep mountains and old forests, but this is the reality, the British colonial period is better, and after a while, the Boers will make a comeback, and after the establishment of the Union of South Africa, the Boers will become even more aggressive, not to mention the Chinese, even the British will have to back down in the face of the Boers.

So Roque can only choose the inland area of Johannesburg.

In Johannesburg, the British only pay attention to the gold mines, and they don't notice who runs the farms here, and the gold obtained from the development of the rock gold mines, Roque is going to use them to buy farms, the more you buy, the better, it is better to buy all the farms around Johannesburg, so that when the war is over, the Boers will return to Johannesburg, and they will find that there is no place for them.

Reality would force the Boers to leave Johannesburg.

"We're pretty comfortable in Oak Town, too—" Anton was reluctant to get better and better at Oak Town.

"The pressure is not economic, it's political, and you always know that the better Oak Town is, the more people will be angry, and the more pressure will be on us." Roque doesn't want to be in the limelight, it's better for all the Chinese to make a lot of money in silence, accumulate strength, and when the strength is enough, the Chinese will show their muscles, and then neither the British nor the Boers will be able to return to the sky.

"Well, there have been a lot of Englishmen hanging out in Oak Town lately, and some people want to buy Oak Town's vineyards, and the price is not good—" Anton didn't understand what politics was, but Anton knew that as Oak Town became more and more prosperous, the pressure on Oak Town must be increasing.

"You go back and start preparing, send the families of the brothers here first-" Before Roque could finish speaking, he knew that he was too anxious.

"The Boer guerrillas are still bombing the railroads, and when the war is over, when the war is over, we will talk about it." Anton came over this time, and he suffered a lot, and he had to make those old and weak women and children travel thousands of miles-

I don't know what they're going to go through on the road.

"Stupid, let them take a boat to Durban first, and then take a train from Durban to Johannesburg." Roque has a way, the guerrillas are operating in the territory of the Cape, they can't be provoked, and they can't hide?!
