226 Back Garden
It doesn't seem that there is anything to worry about, after all, this kind of thing is also very common, and Phyllis is not unaware of the relationship between Roque and Ada, as long as Roque does not bring Ada home, Phyllis can pretend not to know.
This is not a wealthy palace fight, and Ada will not let Arthur go back in the future to compete for Roque's title and inheritance of property.
To put it mildly, the Roque family has a big business, and Ada has a lot of wealth.
So there is really nothing to fight for, most of the so-called wealthy palace fights are actually deliberately creating contradictions, and this is not Kowloon seizing the heir, there are not so many candle shadows and axes.
Roque spent three days in Pretoria before returning to Johannesburg.
Phyllis didn't have the slightest suspicion, it seemed that she was busier than Roque every day, and in addition to Ziwei Public School, Phyllis also had to juggle the miner's children's school, which had taken up all of Phyllis's free time.
With more than 2,500 pupils in the school, with the exception of less than 200 in the fifth grade, and more than 500 in all four grades, the Chinese farmers are so passionate about knowledge that they are willing to send their children to school even though the school is no longer free, with more than £20 a year.
This price is actually not high, the tuition fee of Ziwei Public School is now more than 150 pounds, and there are still many parents who are willing to travel thousands of miles to send their children to Ziwei Public School, in August this year, Ziwei Public School organized an entrance exam, nominally only 100 students are enrolled in each grade, and more than 3000 students have signed up.
In the whole of Southern Africa, Ziwei College is recognized as a top school, just like the status of Eton College in the United Kingdom, 150 pounds has exceeded the annual income of a middle-class family, but people who come to sign up are still flocking, this number actually includes those related households, that is, even if Owen wants to send his children to Ziwei School to study, it is also included in the 100 places, so the admission places of Ziwei School are really very popular.
If it were someone else, it might be possible to expand the enrollment scale at all costs.
Ziwei Public School is not moved, saying that a good hundred people are a hundred people, and they would rather not make money than expand the enrollment scale, and Ziwei Public School is not short of money, and would rather not make money, but also provide high-quality services for students.
In Ziwei Public School, there is almost a dormitory for two students, and it is of course possible to expand to a dormitory for four students, but it is not necessary.
At the Miners' School, there is a dormitory for four students.
"Of course, we can also be like Ziwei Public School, change the four-person dormitory into a two-person dormitory, but in order to improve the students' communication skills, so the four-person dormitory is still very necessary, except for the dormitory, we are the same as Ziwei Public School in all aspects, and even the library and self-study room are larger than Ziwei Public School, our library now has a collection of 300,000 books, and some fifth-grade students have helped teachers translate books, translating books in various languages into Chinese books, these students are really good, Some of them are now eligible to go to Oxford and Cambridge. "Usually only at dinner time does Phyllis have the opportunity to communicate with Roque, and at this time, Phyllis will be dancing and talking.
"Yes, if they are really eligible to go to Oxford and Cambridge, the school can pay a scholarship to guarantee their life in Oxford and Cambridge." Oxford and Cambridge themselves offer scholarships for students during the year, and students can get £80 a year from Oxford or Cambridge, which is enough to guarantee a student's life in Oxford or Cambridge.
It's also a different kind of talent war, and in this era, Oxford and Cambridge are the best schools in the world, and everyone wants to be educated in Oxford and Cambridge.
Needless to say, those students in the UK, Oxford and Cambridge should fund them, and for those students from other countries, Oxford and Cambridge are also treated equally, even if they will not stay in the UK to work after graduation, Oxford and Cambridge will not treat them differently, this is a very smart move, in any case, Oxford and Cambridge are full of favorability among students.
The same is true of the miners' school, which now charges £20 a year, but in fact the amount of money that the miners' school subsidizes each student each year is about the same amount.
Not to mention, so far, the school for miners' children is still under construction, because of Roque's high standards, all the buildings in the school are expensive permanent buildings, even now Johannesburg has not achieved universal electricity, but the school for miners' children has used street lights, electricity alone, the school for miners costs more than 1,000 pounds a month.
Considering the relationship between Roque and the Crocodile Bay Company, this electricity price is already an internal price, and the electricity price of Ziwei Public School is higher than that of the Miners' School, and in the eyes of many teachers and staff of the Miners' School, the use of electricity by the Miners' School is almost wasteful, but Roque is stubborn and does not discount anything on this issue.
"Next year, next year I'm going to organize the best students to go to Oxford and Cambridge to take exams, and then we can find a relationship, and send a few students to Oxford and Cambridge anyway, which will win the greatest honor for the school." Phyllis is also prepared, there are many outstanding students in the Miner's School, and Phyllis now wants everyone to know that the Miner's School has such a large number of outstanding students.
"Don't be so anxious, the medical school should have been built next year, and those outstanding students can enter the medical school when the time comes, and I plan to continue to build a comprehensive university in the future, with hardware facilities modeled on Oxford and Cambridge, and hire high-level experts and professors from Europe, and our students in Johannesburg want to receive higher education, not necessarily to the United Kingdom." Roque is not in a hurry, to put it mildly, Roque does not trust Oxford and Cambridge so much, and if he wants to cultivate talents in the future, he still has to be in Johannesburg.
In fact, Oxford and Cambridge are really not so unattainable, the standard of talents in these years is different from that of the 21st century, and students in the 21st century have to go through a long period of comprehensive ability training to enter first-class schools, such as literature, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., and in many aspects must reach a certain level before they are eligible to enter higher institutions for further study.
In those years, the requirements for students were not so high, and the students who graduated from the law departments of Oxford and Cambridge were only proficient in one aspect of the law, and even the current secondary school graduates were not as good as the current secondary school graduates.
Nyasaland and Johannesburg do not need comprehensive talents with multi-faceted knowledge, only experts who are relatively good in a certain field, medical students do not need to spend too much time on physics, students who study architecture do not need to study chemistry, and Nyasaland will wait until it has developed to a certain extent, so as to design a more perfect curriculum to cultivate students' abilities in many aspects, and cultivate comprehensive talents as much as possible to meet the needs of Nyasaland's development.
Not now, not at that stage, or because of that initial reason, Roque has to solve the problem of whether there is a problem now, and Roque is qualified to say whether it is good or not in the future.
"If you can, you still have to send students to Europe as much as possible, Johannesburg is too far away from the civilized world, even if they come back to Johannesburg in the future, I hope they can go to Europe and let them know how far away Johannesburg is from Europe." Phyllis sighed, putting down her knife and fork a little unsavory.
The civilized world is the so-called world center, and for the time being, only Europe is qualified to be called the center of the world.
Phyllis's intentions were good, but Roque could not agree with Phyllis's statement, in Roque's view, Southern Africa was actually a civilized world, and had a broader prospect than Europe.
In another 10 years, a world war will break out in Europe, and then 20 years later, there will be a second world war, and then Europe will be dragged into the abyss by successive wars.
Southern Africa doesn't look good now, but in Africa, southern Africa is an invincible existence, just like the United States in the Americas, because the surrounding countries have no rivals, so the United States can focus more on economic development, and when Europe is dragged down by the war and development stagnates, the United States can replace it.
Roque does not have such great ambitions, although southern Africa is also blessed, but there are many internal contradictions in southern Africa, the contradictions between the British, the Boers, and the Zulu people are irreconcilable, and the Chinese cannot be alone in the future struggle, so Roque's ideal is that in southern Africa, at least there is a Chinese backyard, so that the Chinese can be invincible no matter what.
Now it seems that the back garden of the Chinese is Nyasaland, or it can also include Rhodesia and the Transvaal, if there is not much contradiction between the Chinese and the British in these places, then in the future, in these places, the Chinese and the British can coexist.
Of course, if the British can't tolerate the Chinese in the future, or the Chinese demand more benefits, then Roque will also break his arm to survive.
"Believe me, in the future, the Transvaal will be as advanced and developed as the mainland, and we will take root and thrive in this land, and no one will want to disturb our lives." Roque is ruthless, whether it is a Zulu or a Boer, as long as someone dares to fight the idea of the Transvaal, Roque will kill the killer.
As for Rhodesia and Nyasaland, there is probably no room for Boers and Zulus to live in these two places, don't look at the fact that there are many Zulus in Nyasaland now, but when the railways and roads are repaired, Roque will send all the Zulus away to avoid future troubles.
