173 Miners' children's school

When it comes to official business, it is normal to pass the buck, not to mention a major event such as road construction, and a table of dragon gate arrays can be set up in trivial matters.

The Johannesburg city government is also scared of Orange's habitual pulling, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the Johannesburg city government doesn't want to deal with Orange, and it's more troublesome to build roads, why build roads? In order to strengthen the convenience of contacts, now Johannesburg is afraid of Orange, and after the road between Johannesburg and Bloemfontein is repaired, it will be more convenient for the Boers to go to Johannesburg, isn't this asking for trouble for themselves, no wonder the Johannesburg city government is not in a hurry.

Roque is not in a hurry, anyway, no matter how Johannesburg and Orange are tossed, the first to start and finish the first must be the road between Ziwei Town and Johannesburg, and Christian can still guarantee that the quality will definitely be the best and the least cost-

This one doesn't need to be used, anyway, it's not Roque who pays for it, and Roque doesn't care how much money he spends.

With Owen in charge, the Johannesburg city government quickly responded, asking for a loan of one million pounds from the RAND Bank, and the interest rate was exactly twice as high as the interest rate of the Imperial Bank, according to the RAND Bank.

On February 25, the funds were in place, the construction team entered the site, and the highway officially started.

When Phyllis returned to Johannesburg, she did not return to work at the girls' school, but to the school for miners' next to the Rock Gold Mine.

Yes, it's such a broken name, in order not to attract attention, Roque also does everything.

Although the name is broken, the school is brand new, Roque is ready to get all the Chinese students to the new school, so the school can accommodate more than two thousand people, and it can be expanded at any time, after all, near the Rock Gold Mine, there is much more spare land than Ziwei Town, Ziwei Town now has not much spare land, and then expanding outward will occupy the farms around Ziwei Town, and there is a lot of vacant land near the Rock Gold Mine, as long as there is a need, the school can be built as much as it wants.

After learning about the education model in Nyasaland, Phyllis learned more about compulsory education, and began to doubt the elite education that had been implemented in England, so she was very enthusiastic about the new school, and even proposed to Roque to be the principal of the school for miners' children.

"Pull it down, don't forget that you are the daughter of a baron, or a future baroness, if you are the headmaster of the miners' school, what will happen to the girls' school?" Roque refused, if Phyllis was the principal, then even if the miners' children's school wanted to keep a low profile, it would not be able to keep a low profile.

Roque also said less about Phyllis's identity, who is still the Baron's sister.

"Why keep it low? You said that you have to keep a low profile and do things in a high profile—" Phyllis is still unclear why Roque is keeping a low profile in this matter.

For a long time, Roque actually believes in being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner, and the two are not in conflict with each other, but because Roque has too much selfishness in the matter of school, Roque is unusually doing things this time.

Considering the relationship between Roque and Phyllis in the future, Roque decided to be more honest, believing that Phyllis can understand.

"Other things can be high-profile, this thing can't be high-profile, you know, European countries are not friendly to the Chinese-" As soon as Roque spoke, Phyllis was anxious to speak, and Roque stopped him with a gesture: "I'm not talking about you, I'm saying that the overall atmosphere of the whole society, even including southern Africa, has a very good attitude towards the Chinese, at least it doesn't regard the Chinese as a group that can get along with each other on an equal footing." ”

This is undeniable by Phyllis, although Roque is now a baron, but outside the Transvaal, there are still many people who are unwilling to face up to the role of the Chinese community, even including many people in the Transvaal, they can indeed get along with Roque on an equal footing, but that is not a recognition of the Chinese community.

"You also know that the current educational resources are not fair, many white children in Cape Town and Orange are not able to get education, so the miners' children's schools must keep a low profile, otherwise this will become another original sin of the Chinese, the jealous people are unreasonable, they can only see that the white children cannot get education, but the Chinese children can study in the miners' children's schools, they will not think why, they will only complain about the unfairness." Roque's understanding of human nature is definitely better than that of Phyllis, and looking at how sought-after the places at Ziwei Public School are now, you can know how tight educational resources are.

"It shouldn't be like this, why can't we live in peace-" Phyllis doesn't understand some people's thinking, this is normal, in the past, it was Philip and Henry Owen and even Arnold who protected Phyllis too well, and now the one who protects Phyllis has been replaced by Roque, Phyllis has not seen the real human heart sinister.

"Some people are destined not to live in peace, unless there is no gap between the rich and the poor in the whole society, there is no distinction between high and low, but that will affect the progress of the whole society, without the gap, people will have no motivation to struggle, so the contradiction will exist for a long time, not depending on people's personal will." The biggest difference between Roque and Phyllis is that they have seen all kinds of cases, and they don't need to try to know what will happen when something evolves over time.

It is true that the school for miners' children should not be exposed to the public eye, Ziwei Boys' School just built a swimming pool and football field last year, but the miners' children's school already has a comprehensive sports hall and an outdoor open-air sports field.

Compared with Ziwei Boys' School, the library of the Miners' School is amazingly large, the same popular book, the Ziwei Boys' School may only have ten, but there may be fifty books in the Miners' Children's School, the same reading room, the reading room of the Ziwei Boys' School can only accommodate 100 people, and the reading room of the Miners' School can accommodate 600 people At the same time, in order to better facilitate the students to read, the reading room of the Miners' Children's School is also equipped with electric lights, which is the advantage that Ziwei School does not have.

While talking, Rock and Phyllis came to the dormitory prepared for the students, the dormitory of Ziwei Public School is still six to eight people, but the miners' children's school is a standard four-person room, in order to order these beds, tables and chairs, the miners' children's school spent nearly 30,000 pounds before and after, and the owner of the carpentry factory in Oak Town has made a fortune, and now the permanent population of Oak Town is about the same as that of Ziwei Town.

"Locke, are you biased against white people?" Phyllis finally asked the question.

"Yes, I am indeed biased against white people, so I decided to pick a white person to marry back home, and then slowly clean her up!" Roque took the initiative to bring the topic into the ditch, this topic cannot be discussed, and if you don't pay attention to it, it is racial discrimination.

Discriminating against whites in a white supremacist world?

Roque really didn't dare!

Note that you don't dare, not nothing.

As a Chinese, Roque has good reasons to discriminate against white people, of course, these words cannot be said, and if Roque says them, he will become a public enemy of the whole people.

"What are you talking nonsense again, you know I didn't mean that." Phyllis is still struggling, many of Roque's behaviors are indeed intentionally or unintentionally showing discrimination against white people.

"Then you should also know that I don't dislike white people, but people who are willing to degenerate, who do not want to make progress, who try to get something for nothing, who base their happiness on the pain of others, whether white, Chinese, or African, and it has nothing to do with the color of their skin." Roque himself was a victim of racism, and of course he had to take a clear stand against racism.

"That's right, you don't know, I'm really worried, worried that one day your relationship with your father, Henry, and Owen will deteriorate, just like the relationship between the Transvaal and Orange is now." Phyllis is not ignorant, but her attitude towards the problem is a little naïve.

What really worries Phyllis is that if Roque continues like this, then sooner or later, the Chinese led by Roque will clash with the white people in Johannesburg on the fundamental interests, and Phyllis really doesn't know how to deal with herself at that time.

"Don't worry, Phyllis, I will never be enemies with Henry and Owen, and in the near future, our common enemies are the Boers and Africans, and in the distance, our common enemies are European countries, even including the British government." Roque does not hide some things, in fact, Roque needs Phyllis to help convey them to Philip and Henry.

"Why?" It was clear that Phyllis was shocked by this answer.

"Benefits!" Roque is categorical, even if it is the relationship between Roque and Henry and Owen, because the interests can also deteriorate, not to mention the Transvaal and Orange, southern African and European countries, there are many places that may cause conflict.

"Well, that's not something you have to worry about, as long as I'm with Henry and Owen, you'll never have to face these problems." Roque is confident that if he can't protect his family, then Roque will lose the meaning of traveling to this era.

On March 1, Chinese students from Ziwei Public School began to move to the school for miners' children.

For this reason, Sophia and Tony took the initiative to find Roque and expressed their opposition to taking the Chinese students away from Ziwei College.

"What if you don't separate? As you know, the admission places of Ziwei College are getting tighter and tighter, and a place in Cape Town has been hyped to more than 1,000 pounds, and this price can go back to Eton College in the mainland, and now 80% of the students in Ziwei College are Chinese, and in the long run, there will definitely be people who will raise opinions, so we must solve the hidden dangers before the contradictions are exposed, rest assured, although the students are separated, but the investment in Ziwei College will not be reduced. "Roque reassures Sophia and Tony for a very good reason, and Sophia and Tony have nothing to say.

In fact, the key is investment, Sophia and Tony really want to say how much they care about Chinese students, it is not necessarily, mainly because they are worried that Roque will shift his focus to the miners' children's school instead of Ziwei Public School because of the decrease in Chinese students.

That's the crux of the matter, and as Roque said, it's all about profit.
