Growing medicinal herbs is definitely a technical job, this is not a problem that Douglas and other professors can solve, and even the experience of the Chinese has always been useless in Johannesburg, which is located in the southern hemisphere, so if Roque wants to grow medicinal herbs in Johannesburg, in addition to the guidance of experts, he also needs to keep trying to find a suitable development route.
Fortunately, Roque has money, and he has time, try slowly, and he will always see results, so Roque is not in a hurry at all, and he does not expect medical school to produce results in a short period of time, ten or twenty years will do, Roque has patience.
Relatively speaking, Douglas is eager for quick success in this regard.
Now Douglas also wants money and money, power and power, and Abu, what Douglas needs is honor and status, which can not be bought with money, it requires a certain chance and achievements, Douglas is not like Abu can obtain honor and status through scientific research, medical school is Douglas's shortcut to success.
So, Douglas's expectations for medical school can be imagined.
This is actually a good thing for Roque, Roque is not afraid that the people around him are ambitious, but he is afraid that although he is ambitious, but there is no way to achieve it, even if he has some achievements in the end, he is not worthy of virtue, such a situation is simply not too much.
Fortunately, through these two years of cooperation, Douglas has used his ability to gain Roque's trust, although Douglas is inevitably a little bureaucratic and pedantic at times, but compared to most officials in this era, Douglas is already good, and Roque cannot ask for more.
After all, Douglas is still a professor at heart, not a qualified official.
While Roque was worried about the lack of qualified personnel on hand, the cruise ship "Malombe" had just sailed into Little Rock Harbor.
With a displacement of 5,000 tons, the "Malombe" cruise ship is a special immigration ship for immigrants, and the cabins on board have no hierarchy, and can carry 2,200 people at a time when fully occupied.
As you can tell from the name, the Nyasaland Labor Dispatch Company is a subsidiary of the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and there are ten more migrant ships such as the "Malombe" cruise ship.
In other words, now that immigrants from the Qing Dynasty to Nyasaland do not need to hire foreign ships, all the immigration work is undertaken by the Nyasaland Labor Dispatch Company, and the human resources company established by Liang Dingxin in the Qing State is also under the name of the Nyasaland Labor Dispatch Company, and the employees employed by the human resources company have become veritable "two devils".
This is also a helpless move, the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China has just ended, and all the enterprises related to the "foreigners" have become the emperor that no one dares to provoke in the Qing Kingdom, and Luo Ke will certainly not let go of such an opportunity, so that although those employees are wronged, it is more conducive to the work of human resources companies.
The "Malombe" cruise ship is fully loaded every time it travels between Qing and Nyasaland, and this time is no exception.
As the "Malombe" cruise ship stood firm on the wharf of Xiaoshi Port, the originally calm wharf suddenly became busy.
Next to the ramp of the "Malombe", there are more than a dozen tables lined up, and behind each table there are staff members who have to line up in front of these tables to register after they step down the gangway.
That's right, the first education for all newcomers to Nyasaland is to stand in line.
Those who don't follow the rules will be alerted by the staff who maintain order next to the team, and if they are reminded to ignore the reminder, then the police will come forward and take people away, and the rest will be a logical thing, such a scene will be played out every few days on the docks of Little Rock.
After registration, if there is no skill, they will be led by the staff to ride a carriage to different locations, and the newcomers with a skill will stay in Little Rock to wait for further distribution.
Among all the newcomers arriving in Nyasaland, Su Xian's family stands out.
All the new arrivals in Nyasaland have been living in the camp for at least three months in advance.
During these three months, newcomers are required to complete a series of tasks such as shaving their hair, medical examinations, supplementing nutrition, familiarizing themselves with the Personal Hygiene Regulations, and only those newcomers with special status and excellence in a certain profession are eligible to retain their habits.
Su Xian's family is obviously like this, although they have been living in the camp for three months, Su Xian's family has not shaved their hair, which is a significant sign.
"Name?" When it was Su Xian's turn, the staff in charge of registration was on official business.
"Su Xian—"
"Occupation?"
"Doctor—"
After the staff heard the word "doctor", they immediately looked up at Su Xian.
At the age of thirty, he has a calm and unhurried attitude, gentle and elegant, and has a gentle temperament, everything is very in line with the temperament of the Chinese "mean".
"Go to carriage number fifteen—" The staff didn't say much.
"Thank you, I'm in trouble—" Su Xian thanked politely, and then took his family to find the carriage under the guidance of the staff.
Su Xian came to Nyasaland with Su Xian's wife, concubine, three sons, and two daughters.
With such a big family, a carriage is a little unfitted, but fortunately, the staff has been prepared, Su Xian's family is divided into two carriages, and the coachman in front of him gave a long shout, and the carriage started immediately.
"Master, where are they taking us?" The carriage was a little dark, and Su Xian's wife's voice was trembling.
"At this point, you can go anywhere-" Su Xian's voice was quite steady, but his tone also revealed confusion.
"Dad, I'm hungry-" Wang Suxian, the youngest daughter in the same car, shrunk in her arms.
"There will be delicious food later, wait-" Su Xian comforted gently, the food along the way was not bad, and those foreigners and crew members were not embarrassed by Su Xian's family, presumably this "Nyasaland Labor Dispatch Company" spent so much money to get people from the Qing Kingdom to Nyasaland, and it should not be thrown into the plantation as workers.
In order to move Su Xian's family to emigrate, the Nyasaland labor dispatch company did spend a lot of money.
Su Xian's father was the imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty, and when the Eight-Nation Coalition broke the city, Su Xian's family fled the capital in a hurry and fled to Xi'an with the large army.
When the army fled to Shanxi, Su Xian's elderly father died of exhaustion, so Su Xian left the army and escorted his father's coffin back to his hometown for burial.
Su Xian's hometown is a native of Jinghai, Tianjin, Jinghai is also the hardest hit area of the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, Su Xian returned to his hometown only to find that the ancestral house had been looted by the coalition forces and set on fire, and Su Xian's family became rootless.
After the end of the war, the coalition troops withdrew, and Su Xian's family's life fell into poverty.
Fortunately, there is still a clan, and with the help of the clansmen, Su Xian returned to his old business in his hometown and asked for a doctor.
If there is no accident, with Su Xian's medical skills that he has learned from his father for more than 20 years, it is no problem for the Su family to rise again.
It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and last winter, a patient of Su Xian died of illness, which brought a huge disaster to Su Xian's family.
The patient was the father of an official, and after Su Xian diagnosed the patient, he already knew about the patient's condition and didn't want to receive the patient, but he was put on the neck with a knife and had to admit the patient.
This was not Su Xian's fault, the medicine doctor did not die of the disease, it was really to the extent that he was terminally ill, and it was difficult for the gods to recover.
But the official didn't think so, although Su Xian begged in every possible way, he was still put in prison by the official for an excuse, ready to be beheaded after the autumn.
Su Xian's family sold their property to save Su Xian, but they still couldn't do anything.
At this time, the employees of the Nyasaland Labor Dispatch Company approached Su Xian, opened the joint for Su Xian, and paid off all the debts at the cost of Su Xian's family to immigrate to Nyasaland.
If it was just Su Xian's family, then maybe Su Xian would rather die than go to Nyasaland.
But after seeing thousands of Chinese waiting to emigrate in the camp, Su Xian accepted this fate gloomily.
——
Less than half an hour after the carriage traveled, Su Xian's family was taken to the gate of a compound.
The coachman handed over to the doorman at the gate of the compound, and then Su Xian's family was brought into the compound.
"Don't worry, when you get here, you will be considered home, this is the transit point of our Nyasaland Agricultural Company, you can rest here for a while now, and then assign work after you are familiar with the water and soil." The attitude of the staff was not bad, and they explained to Su Xian while walking.
"You're working-" Although Su Xian didn't know what "assigned work" meant, he also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he just politely thanked him.
"You're welcome, since you can live in the transit station, then the future will definitely soar, and it won't be long before I see you, maybe I will have to say a thousand greetings when I see you-" When the staff said this, he suddenly twitched his mouth slightly: "Hey, why are you talking about this, we don't want to play a thousand greetings in Nyasaland, you just live in a down-to-earth manner——"
In the dark, it was impossible to see how big this transfer station was, but the lanterns on both sides of the road gave Su Xian's family some comfort.
Walking along the lantern, at a fork in the road, the staff took Su Xian's family to the door of a house.
"You have a lot of family, so I'll live here for the time being, I'll teach you how to use the lamp now, let's not light candles here-" The staff chattered, and with a "pop", the whole room was illuminated by the light, and Su Xian finally knew what a "lamp" was.
