High salary is important, and not everyone will be impressed by high salary, for those who have a stable job in Europe, the income is quite good, Johannesburg even if it is a high salary, they are still reluctant to come to Johannesburg, most of the senior talents that Roque can invite, most of them are from Germany, Russia and other economically backward countries, not to mention the level of these people, there are big problems in language communication.

Most of the students in the medical school are nurses from Ziwei Hospital, and they already have a certain foundation, and they have worked in Ziwei Hospital for at least one year, so they learn relatively quickly.

There are also some students from Ziwei College, the education system of this era is not perfect, generally graduated from high school, they are eligible to apply for university, Johannesburg has not yet had time to implement the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination system, want to enter the medical school in addition to relying on recommendations, mainly to apply for themselves.

Across the plaza, directly opposite is the office building of the medical school.

When Roque built this office building, he deliberately chose the red bricks produced in Johannesburg, which is of course symbolic, there are six famous red brick universities in the United Kingdom, which are the most famous and top old world famous universities in England in addition to the famous universities in the Golden Triangle.

The six universities are: the University of Birmingham, the University of Manchester, the University of Sheffield, the University of Leeds, the University of Bristol, and the University of Liverpool.

Just look at the name, one for each of the six cities, and together with the prestigious schools in the Golden Triangle, they form the spire of the British education system.

Compared with the British mainland, Southern Africa is really similar to a cultural desert, and the British mainland is full of prestigious universities, which cultivate a large number of talents for the United Kingdom every year.

There are very few institutions of higher learning in southern Africa, and the British government does not want there to be institutions of higher education in southern Africa, so that students in southern Africa who want to pursue higher education will have to go to the British mainland, so that after graduation, students are likely to stay in the British Isles and not return to southern Africa.

In the long run, the backward situation in southern Africa will never improve, which is acceptable for Ade and Philip, but not for Roque.

Roque could not accept this situation in any case, the medical school was just the beginning, and then Roque would invest in a comprehensive university in Nyasaland, which would be the real cradle of talent in Nyasaland.

Ade and Philip didn't know Roque's ideals, but after seeing this office building made of red bricks, both Ade and Philip were a little touched.

As officials of the Transvaal, of course, they also hope that the Transvaal will develop better, so that whether they stay in office in the future or return to the United Kingdom, this will be their political achievements and will be remembered forever.

Some people pursue the benefit of the official for one party, some people just have to get by and wait for death, Philip sometimes has a negative attitude, Ade's attitude has always been more serious, after the Boer War, Ade also used his own practical actions, it is indeed to restore peace to the Transvaal and Orange, even those Boers who still resist the British government, but also have to admit Ade's role in this.

The castle-style dark red office building has a simple shape, and the white marble of the window top arch complements each other, all the windows are amazingly high, the fifteen-meter-high office building has only two floors, each floor is about seven or eight meters high, the height of the main building in the center is more than 20 meters, there is a bell tower with a height of more than 40 meters in the distance, all the roofs are oval steel frame structures, in order to fully transmit light, the roof is decorated with a large number of glass, and there are various sculptures in the center and edge of the roof, The sculptures were carved by workers from Europe and Chinese workers.

"It's spectacular, it was built in a year?" Ade couldn't believe it.

"Seven months, to be exact." Roque is still proud, and although the seven-month construction period is inseparable from the hard work of Zulu workers, this point does not need to be emphasized.

"It started in April and ended in October, which means that it only took you half a year to build this medical school, and my official residence has been built for three years now, but the completion is still far away." Ade couldn't help but sigh, this contrast is indeed too stark.

Ade still lives in the Palace of Justice.

Roque had previously suggested that the construction of the mansion should be entrusted to Christian.

But because of Christian's identity and the Zulu workers under Christian, Ade carefully weighed it and handed over the job to a local British construction company.

The distance from the British mainland to Pretoria is far away, and those workers in the British mainland cannot guarantee their work attitude and work efficiency, first of all, the time cannot be guaranteed.

During this period, the status of construction workers in Britain was not very high, and they were generally at the bottom of society, but in Pretoria, those construction workers also quickly entered a colonial state, the progress of their work was outrageously slow, and they demanded all kinds of benefits, and Ade now regretted it.

"Nearly 4,000 workers were used to build this medical school, and the dry season in Johannesburg is still too short, so the construction period is a bit rushed, and now the medical school is not fully completed, and there are some supporting facilities, and then there will be greenery, and it will take a few months to complete it all." Roque didn't dare to irritate Ade too much, just behind this office building, there were hundreds of workers hard at work.

Walking into the office building, the floor is all marble, the walls are all wallpaper, and under the ceiling is a huge crystal lamp, which is electric, cleaner and brighter, and the Johannesburg City Council has no such luxury.

Settling down in the conference room on the second floor, Douglas was in charge of introducing Ade and Philip.

"The medical school covers an area of 1,500 acres, in addition to the current building, the future medical school will also set up a laboratory, as well as a medicine garden for traditional Chinese medicine research, the medical school now has more than a dozen experts in traditional Chinese medicine, although they do not have academic certificates, but the strength is unquestionable, my shoulders and neck have always been a little uncomfortable, as a result, a few days ago Mr. Su Xian pulled out a fire pot for me - fire cupping, this pronunciation - sorry my pronunciation is not standard, but the effect is great, I am now more relaxed than ever - " Douglas is eager to take off his shirt now and prove what a great invention cupping is.

"We don't have enough students now, this is related to the quality of students, many people know that medical schools start to recruit students, they can't even write their own names, they want to learn medical skills in medical school, we would rather lack than abuse, even if there is no student, we can't let this kind of person enter medical school, but the situation will always change, in a few years, Ziwei Public School and public middle schools will have graduates, then medical school will enter a normal development mode, now the most important thing is the faculty, we have top resources, We have very good research projects, all of which are promising, but we lack basic teaching staff, and we can't let top experts like Abu teach basic courses, which is an insult to a top talent like Abu. Douglas also seized the opportunity to make a request, and it was rare that the chief officers of the Transvaal and Johannesburg were there, so he had to hurry.

Ade and Philip are also having a headache, the whole of southern Africa is trying to attract immigrants, but the effect is not very good, it is not that Ade is incompetent, it is that southern Africa lacks enough attractiveness.

So neither Ade nor Philip said anything on the spot, and after the opening ceremony, Ade returned to Pretoria, and the next day Philip called Roque to the official residence.

"I heard you built a university town in Nyasaland?" Philip seems nonchalant but asks sensitive questions.

"It's not a university town, it's just a rumor, I built a vocational college in Malongbey Lake, which mainly trains agricultural technicians and skilled workers, and Nyasaland's current economy is still based on agriculture." Roque does not deny that there is nothing new under the sun, and there is such a large building next to Malombe Lake, and Roque can't hide it if he wants to.

"Is it just agricultural technicians and skilled workers?" Philip pressed in.

"Of course it's not all, it's just the beginning, you also saw yesterday, there will be more and more institutions of higher learning in southern Africa in the future, so that we can cultivate our own talents, London's attitude towards the Transvaal is a bit ambiguous, after two years of the Transvaal's democratic representative system, the prospects are not clear enough, so we have to prepare early." Roque and Philip are now in a son-in-law relationship, and there are many things that can be said openly.

"Unclear? How so? Philip was a little surprised, which was not consistent with Roque's previous statement.

Roque has always emphasized that the autonomy of the Transvaal and even southern Africa is the general trend, and it is for this reason that Ade agreed to bring in a large number of Chinese and reduce the proportion of Boers in the total population of southern Africa.

Roque's reasoning was that after the introduction of democratic representation, the Transvaal's ratio of Chinese to British was sufficient to suppress the Boers, so that the Transvaal government would be firmly in the hands of the British.

Now Roque says that the future of the Transvaal is uncertain, which makes Philip a little uncertain.

"Cape, Cape's general election, the Progressive Party is now in a mess, in order to compete for power and even attack each other, I used to think that the Progressive Party could easily win the election, but now it seems that it is not necessarily, I asked Henry to seriously think about a question a few days ago, whether Henry wants to stay in the Transvaal in the future, or hopes to return to the mainland after making enough money, this is a very important question." Roque began to enter the second phase, forcing Ade, Philip, Henry, and other colonial officials to choose between the colony and the homeland.

If you don't make a choice, the British in the Cape are now scattered, and the Transvaal seems to be in a good situation, but there are hidden dangers, and those hidden dangers must be eliminated as soon as possible.
