To run a gold mine, it is not enough to have workers, but also some logistics personnel, as well as managers, technicians, etc., and gold mines are more technical than setting up a farm.

The requirements are also higher.

"In addition to building a camp, you have to help me find two doctors, two cooks, and by the way, hire a few managers who have experience working in gold mines, it doesn't have to be British, but Boers can too." Roque still has requirements, there are many Chinese workers in the Langlei gold mine, but it is impossible for Chinese workers to hold management positions, not even technicians, so Roque still needs to hire some professionals to ensure the normal operation of the mine.

On this point, as early as the time of the Transvaal Republic, there were provisions in the relevant aspects.

The Transvaal Republic is a country founded by the Boers, so it will give priority to the rights of the Boers when formulating policies.

The Transvaal Republic stipulates that in the Transvaal Republic, any business must employ a certain percentage of Boers, otherwise it will have to pay high taxes.

Does it look familiar?

Yes, after the Zulu came to power in the future, there were also relevant regulations, and all government agencies and enterprises in South Africa at that time must employ a certain percentage of Zulus.

History is so magically similar, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Don't think that the Boers were much stronger than the Zulus, before the discovery of gold in Johannesburg, the economy of the Transvaal Republic was based on agriculture and pastoralism, and almost all the Boers in the Transvaal were farmers.

The point is that they don't work yet, but hire Zulus to herd cattle for them, and the Boer farmers don't even need to pay a salary, and the Zulus work for the Boers and get a small amount of land to use, and many Zulus make a living from this.

After the discovery of gold in Johannesburg, many mines were forced to hire many Boer employees due to policy.

These Boer employees are actually farmers, they don't know anything and don't like to learn, but with the help of policy, they can work in technical positions.

Many mines had to keep these Boers, even if they didn't do anything, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

At the same time, the Chinese and Zulu people, even if they were skilled and worked hard, but due to the policy, they could not hold technical positions, so Roque had to guarantee the normal operation of the mine, only workers were not enough, and some technicians were needed.

"That's fine, after the war broke out, a lot of technicians fled Johannesburg, and now that the war is over, they're returning, and it's easy to hire people." Christian is full of promises, and in the human resources market, Christian has more energy than Roque.

Back at the Golden Hill Inn, Buck and Martin are waiting for Roque.

Hoover's efficiency is still quite high, and I don't know how he discussed it with Aiden, and in just two days, Hoover brought all the Chinese miners out of the Langley gold mine.

Now some of the miners are housed in the Liangguang Guild Hall, some are housed in hotels near the Liangguang Guild Hall, and some are housed in Buck's farm.

"There are 825 workers in a very poor state, most of them are severely malnourished, many are so sick that even if they are cured, they will no longer be able to do heavy physical work." Buck's face was ugly.

Dogday's De Beers Unified Mining Company!

As for the health of the miners, Roque had been mentally prepared for a long time.

But when it came to the real face, Roque still couldn't accept that the De Beers Unified Mining Company was too ruthless, some Chinese workers had just been in Johannesburg for just over half a year, and they were sick with harsh conditions and heavy work, and if Roque didn't get them out, they probably wouldn't be able to wait for the day when the contract ended.

"In a few days, a doctor will come over, treat the disease first, and then wait for the resumption of work in the gold mine——" Luo Ke hopes that the Chinese workers can stay, but it will not be overkill, and the specific choice depends on the workers' own intentions.

In fact, the vast majority of Chinese workers are hard-working, but it is undeniable that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and dozens of Chinese policemen in Cape Town will still have a goods like Luo Yi, and there are nearly 1,000 people here, and the situation is even more complicated.

Of course, human nature is changeable, Luo Yi gambles indiscriminately, and even makes thousands, even his own people are pitted, but as long as they are correctly guided, bad things can also become good things.

The current Luo Yi is very good, although the people of Roque are not in Cape Town, but the filial piety that should be given to Roque, Luo Yi is still sent to Roque's home in Cape Town on a daily basis, and it is already very good to be able to do this.

For these miners, Roque will help as much as possible, but the future of the miners is still in their own hands.

For example, those Chinese workers who are unable to engage in heavy physical work due to illness, as long as they do not complain, can still do some work within their ability, will still have income, and will still have the opportunity to bring their families to Johannesburg for reunion in the future, which is very different from returning to the Qing Dynasty in a gloomy manner.

Now in the situation of the Qing Kingdom, the able-bodied young people are still unable to protect themselves, and the results of these people who are not in good health returning to the Qing Kingdom can be imagined.

"I talked to the miners yesterday, and most of them don't want to stay in Johannesburg, and a lot of them even have a strong resistance to me, probably because they think I'm no different from the guys from De Beers Unified Mining Company, and it's going to be hard for them to work willingly." Zach is not optimistic, these Chinese laborers have been inhumanely abused at the De Beers Unified Mining Company, and it is estimated that they are now eager to fly back to the Qing Dynasty with their wings in their wings, and it will not be easy to change their minds.

"Zach, there's no need to talk to them too much, because they have been completely disappointed in Johannesburg because of what happened before, so they can't listen to what you tell them now." Roque has experience with this situation, and in Oak Town, Roque treats the Boers like this: "-What you have to do now is to help them recuperate as much as possible, and then get them back to work, and as for whether they want to or not, you don't have to worry about that, when they get paid, they will." ”

Many times, people who are good at talking are easy to be bullied, and this is also the same among the Chinese, or there will be no such thing as "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden".

Roque was certainly not a good man, and after dealing with the Boer prisoners of war who rioted, among those Boer women, Roque already had a nickname called "The Tyrant".

For those Chinese workers, Roque was not prepared to reason with them.

For those Chinese workers, Roque's words are orders, and those Chinese workers understand that they must be executed, and if they do not understand, they must be executed.

Whether those Chinese workers want to or not, they have to work for Roque, and when they move into a clean and tidy camp, enjoy a hearty three meals a day, and get enough salary at the end of the month, even if Roque lets them go, they will not leave.

To put it bluntly, wealth is still moving, and no matter how nice it sounds, it is not as good as real money.
