146 Eggplant & Pork Liver (Ask for a Guaranteed Commuter Pass)
In fact, now Roque is not alone, in the face of the Boers, the Chinese have to join forces with the British in order to fight against the total number of Boers, so the British and Chinese in the Transvaal are natural allies.
In the face of the British government, the Chinese and the Boers, as well as the British of the Cape, had to unite in order to fight for the autonomy of the four colonies of the Cape, so the situation in the Transvaal would be so complicated that Roque often lost ground in the face of the Boers, if it were not for this reason, Roque would have completely turned against Louis Botha and would rather hug the thighs of the British than completely overturn the Boers.
It can only be thought of, even if Roque wants to completely turn against Louis Botha, he must wait until the Transvaal wins the status of autonomy, otherwise he will force the Boers hard, and if the Boers completely fall to the British, then the British in the Transvaal will not need the support of the Chinese.
The balance between this is difficult to grasp, the current Roque has not yet reached the level of ease, experience always has to be accumulated slowly, after all, Roque was just a foreign trade dog in his last life, and the two lives combined, Roque's age is less than 30 years old, compared with Louis Botha and the elites of their age, Roque has more knowledge and vision, as well as the control of the direction of the world, and in terms of practical experience, Roque still needs to hone his experience.
So Roque is now learning to hide behind the scenes, no longer rushing to the front in everything, people like Louis Botha will be handed over to Philippe Matilda to play with them slowly, Roque's main task now is to increase his strength, and after the Transvaal autonomy, Roque will stand up again.
"So, the new school has nothing to do with Ziwei School, right?" Phyllis's mood was a little low, the reason why Phyllis came to Ziwei School was for Roque, if Roque transferred the Chinese students, then his attention to Ziwei School would also decrease, and it would be meaningless for Phyllis to continue to stay in Ziwei School.
"What are you thinking, in a month, we're going to get married." Roque gently wrapped his arms around Phyllis's shoulders, and the tentacles were warm and boneless.
Phyllis looked down and snickered, and the big man leaned over with a greedy face, and was kicked away by Phyllis.
"In a few days, Arnold and Lena may be coming to Johannesburg, and Father will try to restrain them, but, if—" Phyllis muttered, looking at Roque with a worried expression.
If it weren't for Phyllis, Roque would have almost forgotten about Arnold's rotten man.
Before Roque was made a baron, Arnold was driven back to his homeland by Philip, and this time, it is estimated that Arnold and Lena were coming to Phyllis's wedding.
If Arnold had been more sensible and hadn't come to trouble Roque, then Roque wouldn't have targeted Arnold.
Even if Arnold still doesn't have long eyes, as long as it is not too much, for the sake of Phyllis's face, Roque can tolerate it.
I'm afraid that Arnold will not change his life and continue to target Roque everywhere, then Phyllis will definitely be sad.
So Roque's expression was very serious: "Phyllis, if I clash with Arnold, who will you be on?" ”
"Of course it's you-" Phyllis blurted out, and then her expression began to tangle again, her nose and eyebrows wrinkled, "Arnold still loves me very much-"
"Hahahaha, that's it!" Roque was happy that Phyllis had finally figured out what was important.
Of course, Arnold is Phyllis's, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited when he saw Phyllis holding Roque, probably Arnold really couldn't accept that Phyllis was with a yellow man, and before he could get to know Roque, he lost his mind, and then everything went out of control.
If you think about it, you can understand that if Roque had a sister, but one day his sister appeared in front of Roque with an African in her arms-
Bah!
Roque has the heart to kill, and if he doesn't pull out a gun on the spot and bomb Xiao Hei, even if Roque has self-cultivation.
Walking around the girls' school, Roque watched as Phyllis was surrounded by two maids into the girls' school campus before returning to the Baron's Palace in Nyasaland.
The renovation of the Baron's Palace has been completed, the former guild hall is a building complex based on defense, after the renovation of the Baron's Palace, it still looks harmless to people and animals, in fact, there are murderous intentions everywhere, if necessary, the entire Baron's Palace will become a military fortress in minutes, after closing the main entrance, anyone who wants to attack will have to pay a heavy price.
Zach and Bella had already moved into the Baron's Court in advance, and Anna had also come to Johannesburg from Cape Town, and before Roque needed to keep a back road in Cape Town, but now he didn't need to, so there was no point for Anna to stay in Cape Town.
Zach is now the butler of the Baron's Mansion, that is, the chief servant, responsible for managing more than forty male servants and guards in the Baron's Mansion, although Zach spends most of his time with Roque, but the Baron's Mansion does not have a deputy butler, because Roque does not trust others, when Roque and Zach are not in the Baron's Mansion, Anna is in charge of the affairs of the Baron's Mansion.
Anna's position is the housekeeper, she manages more than a dozen maids in the Baron's Palace, because there is no hostess in the Baron's Mansion now, and Roque and Zack are often absent, so Anna's work is a bit much, but Anna is very strong, even if she is busy with work, Anna will grit her teeth to support.
Aside from Zach and Anna, the last high-ranking servant of the Baron's Court was Marven.
Don't look at Marven has his own business in Johannesburg and his own farm next to Ziwei Town, but Marven insists on staying with Roque as a chef, which is a very smart approach.
Because Roque and Phyllis are about to marry in less than two months, Anna has been training the servants of the Baron's Court every day lately.
The salary of servants is actually not low, the annual salary of a servant in Britain is about 40 pounds, and the salary of a Cape Town servant is only a dozen pounds, as for Johannesburg, after the end of the Boer War, Johannesburg was full of homeless Boers, at that time a young Boer girl could take it away as long as she gave her food, Roque would definitely not be so unconscionable, the annual salary given to each servant was twenty pounds, which was not as good as the annual salary of a native British servant, but it was higher than the annual salary of a Cape Town servant, that's it, It was enough to make the servants thankful.
The servants of the Baron's Palace, the male servants are all black tuxedos with yellow or black striped vests, and the maids' uniforms are black skirts, black socks, white hats, and white aprons, which is not the welfare of the Baron's Palace, the traditional servant uniforms are like this, and only in this way can the heritage and strength of the aristocratic family be shown.
When Roque returned to the Baron's Palace, Anna commanded the servants to line up at the door to greet Roque, which made Roque a little unaccustomed, and Don and several armed policemen who followed Roque back to the Baron's Court couldn't take their eyes off the maids.
Don and the armed policemen all live in the Baron's Palace, and they are not married and have no family ties, so they are relatively free.
The police in Johannesburg are the best marriage partners for many women in Johannesburg now, Roque is don't think about it, he became famous early, and those ordinary police officers are very popular, especially the Chinese police, everyone knows that Roque, the Chinese baron, is very protective.
The maids of the Baron's Mansion are not all good-looking and hot, but at least they are all young and beautiful, about twenty years old, and they have not been married, and what are the bonuses, they dare not seduce Roque, they are not polite to Tang, many people hope to marry the Chinese police, outsiders don't know, the maids of the Baron's Mansion know very well, these Chinese policemen, each has hundreds of thousands, even thousands of acres of farms, as long as they marry the Chinese police, it is equivalent to worry-free food and clothing for a lifetime.
In this era, it would be good to have a worry-free food and clothing.
Roque shook his head, not interfering with Don and their interaction with the maid, if it was really a policeman and the maid who looked at each other, Roque would seal a big red envelope for them, but if they messed around in private, Roque would not be polite, the maid would definitely be kicked out, as for the Chinese police, the small black house was closed and confined to understand.
"Little, give me some restraint, forgot what you just taught?" Anna, who was already comparable to the door panel, was carrying a stick in her hand, snorting and scolding around angrily, if it weren't for Roque in front of her, Anna would definitely have done it by now.
Before meeting Roque, Zach is imprisoned on Robben Island, and Anna and Bella are dependent on each other in Cape Town.
In fact, Anna knows very well that if there is no help from Roque, then Zach will definitely die on Robben Island, Anna and Bella because they have no job, it is estimated that Bella's best fate is to find a poor white man at the bottom to marry, and then spend her life miserably.
As for Anna, when Zach was imprisoned on Robben Island, Anna had lost hope in life.
Because of Roque, Zack's family has lived a good life, and Roque even got Zack a sheriff, but Zach was unwilling to go to the police station to take office, so he has been following Roque.
Anna's only job now is to manage the Baron's Mansion for Roque, and every day Anna will take Bella with her side to teach her by example, hoping that one day Bella can replace her and become the housekeeper of the Baron's Palace.
"Anna, ask Marvin to get me and Zach some supper later." Roque doesn't give Anna a chance to have a seizure, and takes the initiative to find something for Anna to do.
"Okay Lord, I'll go find Mr. Marven right away." Anna immediately smiled, turned back and waved her stick at the little quail-like maids, and then followed Roque into the barony's palace with a swagger.
Roque went straight to the study, picked up the phone and dialed Henry.
When Henry picked up the phone, he was still chewing something in his mouth, and he was probably eating: "Today is very exciting, my father scared Louis Botha to the ground, and Ade also wanted Johannesburg to provide Orange with the help he could, and as a result, he also let his father go back, you didn't see it at the time, Ade's face was the same color as an eggplant, and Louis Botha's face was like a pig's liver, and they thought that his father was a bully, I guess they didn't know, my father used to quarrel with people in the Ministry of Colonial Affairs-"
Eggplant!
Liver!
Roque really regretted that he should have gone to Pretoria with Philippe Matilda.
