"Eighty oceans, that was the price two years ago, and I'm afraid I can't buy it now." After listening to Roque's meaning, Liang Dingxin didn't dare to accept it immediately, but he didn't dare to refuse, Liang Dingxin didn't have the courage to refuse Roque.

This is Liang Dingxin's first time coming to Roque's dormitory, a spacious suite, Liang Dingxin doesn't know how big Roque's bedroom is, and the area of the living room is more than the dormitory where Liang Dingxin lives.

Like the living room of the British officer's dormitory where Liang Dingxin went, Roque's living room is fully furnished, although the sofa and coffee table are half-new, but they are clean, there is a Bogu shelf on the wall behind Roque, there are several wooden boxes with cigars in the grid, and a few bottles of foreign wine that cannot be named, and there is a white woman with most of her back exposed on the wall opposite Liang Dingxin, Liang Dingxin knows that this is a foreigner's painting, but he doesn't know what this painting is called, and he doesn't know where Roque got it.

As a translator of Hua Yongying, Liang Dingxin is no stranger to the human trafficking market in the Qing Kingdom, 80 oceans can indeed buy a woman, but you can't talk about appearance and figure, if you want to have better quality, the price will increase accordingly, Liang Dingxin doesn't know what Luo Ke's bottom line is, but Luo Ke already has an official body, and he shouldn't look down on those vulgar fans.

"Don't worry, eighty oceans is indeed the price of two years ago, but the current price is not high, maybe you can't use up eighty oceans, the British will reimburse the tickets that send people over, and they can't let you work in vain, you send someone, I will give you ten pounds, and the excess is yours." There are some things that Roque can't say, and if he says it, he will reveal the secret of heaven.

After New Year's Day, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy and other countries will jointly send a note to the Qing government, demanding that the Boxers be banned, and a war will be provoked in May, and then the entire northern part of the Qing country will be plunged into war, and human life will only get cheaper and cheaper.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare Liang take advantage of Luo Ye." Liang Dingxin was worried, this money seems easy to earn, but it is full of risks, it is easy to buy people from the Qing Dynasty, and it is easy to send people on the ship, but along the way, Liang Dingxin really dare not guarantee whether people can arrive in Cape Town safely, and who will be responsible if something goes wrong at that time?

"You don't have to worry, there are more ships going to and from the Qing Kingdom in Cape Town, there will be one every three or five days, and they are all big ships that can't pass through the Suez Canal, I will explain to the ship, you send people to the ship and send me a telegram, and if there is a problem on the way, it will be mine." Roque is not worried about not being able to find a ship, Cape Town is the only way for giant ships to travel back and forth between Europe and Asia, Roque is now considered the head snake of Cape Town, and the merchant ships that come and go will not refuse Roque's request, otherwise it will not be too easy for Roque to find them trouble.

"So very good, so very good, Luo Ye rest assured, Liang will do his best to send people over as soon as possible." Liang Dingxin's answer should be very happy, and he can't tolerate Liang Dingxin's disagreement, as long as Liang Dingxin still has to serve the British's job, Liang Dingxin will not dare to offend Roque.

It's a very simple truth, ten pounds is almost equivalent to a hundred oceans, and it takes eighty oceans to buy a woman, and Liang Dingxin can easily earn twenty oceans from it, which is higher than Liang Dingxin's salary as a translator, and Liang Dingxin has no reason to refuse.

What's more, Roque has been naturalized in Cape Town, and now he is also a "foreigner", although Liang Dingxin has a lot of contempt for Roque in his heart, but on the surface, Liang Dingxin never dares to show it, Roque is now a sheriff, and legend has it that he also saved the Governor of Cape Town, as well as the commander of the British Expeditionary Force and a bunch of big people, such people see that they are about to soar, and Liang Dingxin will never dare to offend.

"Okay, then bother, don't worry, this is a long-term deal, we don't want one or two, we want as many as we want, maybe you will have to be a strong young man in the future, as long as you do your best, you can earn this money for a lifetime." Luo Ke gave Liang Dingxin a reassuring pill, one person is twenty oceans, the more he sends, the more Liang Dingxin earns, Luo Ke firmly believes that Liang Dingxin has no reason to refuse.

The universal values of this year are like this, Roque was a human trafficker in the 21st century, and in the 19th century, it was justified, especially in Africa, the black slave trade was the tradition of African colonizers, if you want to count it like this, all white people in Africa are guilty, one counts one, and no one is innocent.

"I take the liberty of asking, Master Luo, why do you want so many people?" Liang Dingxin still couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, Luo Ke wanted to buy ten or eight Liang Dingxin can still understand, listen to Luo Ke's meaning, Luo Ke is the more the merrier, which really aroused Liang Dingxin's curiosity.

"Hehe, Lao Liang, do you see how many of our people are in this Cape Town Police Department now? In the future, there will be more and more of our people, so many young men, we can't all be singles, our people have settled here, and they have to buy a thousand eight hundred acres of land, and they have passed the addiction of the local owner, so much land does not need tenants? It is better to expect those blacks or Boers to farm the land, than to hire people from our hometown, and the foreigners do not know how to serve the crops at all. Luo Ke's words and sentences are as down-to-earth as possible, and there is a disdain for foreigners in and out of his words, which makes Liang Dingxin a little fascinated.

For most Chinese, they have not had much contact with foreigners, and they do not have much antipathy towards foreigners.

In fact, the current Qing Kingdom, the most disgusted with foreigners, is Liang Dingxin, the people who deal with foreigners every day, including Roque, who seems to have devoted himself to the British, and his contempt for Westerners is also from the heart.

"Master Luo, black or white people may not be able to farm, but it's enjoyable, let's make a living overseas, hire white people to farm for us, it's fun to think about it." I really didn't see it, Liang Dingxin is also idealistic.

If you think about it carefully, it's really like this, although the Chinese are good at farming, but to support the façade, you still have to hire white people, just like Roque hired the Zach family as servants, if Roque hired Indians or blacks, then Henry would definitely despise Roque in his heart even if he didn't say it.

This sounds a bit snobbish, but in fact, without considering the practicality, if Roque buys a family business in the future, he really plans to hire poor Boers all the time, after all, Boers are also white.

"Hehe, if you want to have a good time, you can simply become a naturalized Cape Town, and then return to the Qing Kingdom, you will be a foreign uncle, and if you buy a farm in Cape Town in a few years, you can also live the addiction of calling foreigners." Luo Ke's words inadvertently planted a handful of grass in Liang Dingxin's heart.
