In Roque's impression, when he mentions the nineteenth century, he gives the impression of ignorance, lack of materials, spiritual poverty, the law of the jungle, and so on.

Coming to this era for so long, Roque deeply felt that it is indeed true that the law of the jungle is the strongest, ignorance and spiritual poverty may also be possible, but the materials are really not scarce, Africa, especially South Africa, especially in Cape Town, now Cape Town, the materials are simply not too rich, the British have made a lot of money to conquer the Boers, new troop carriers arrive in Cape Town every day, the railway station is waiting for the transfer of materials piled up, and the market is full of delicacies from all over the world, The price of beef is incredibly low because everyone is tired of eating beef, and only caviar from Northern Europe can awaken people's taste buds.

In the Doge's estate, another scene.

Receiving Roque and Henry, of course the governor will not come forward in person, it is the butler of the manor who appears, and Roque does not know what the butler's name is, he does not introduce himself.

"Try our handmade biscuits, and our home-brewed wine, you deserve it." It can be seen that the butler is still a little arrogant, although the etiquette is very thoughtful, but the words are a little offensive.

Roque and Henry could hear the condescension of the butler's words, but neither of them spoke, and after politely thanking them, one took a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

The butler is the person next to the governor, and to a large extent, he can represent the governor, Roque and Henry are not even qualified to meet the governor, and the butler is already very face-saving to entertain him.

Of course, don't expect to give much face, the biscuits and wine are on it, but there is not even a superfluous word, Roque thought that the butler would proudly introduce how many raw materials are used in the biscuits, and how carefully the baking process is, but people don't, and then Roque reacts, yes, the butler has no reason to explain, and even if it is not for the whims of a big person, the butler will not come forward to entertain Roque and Henry.

Just take a break and taste a little snack, Roque and Henry are not in the mood to stay and have a mixed meal, after eating small cookies and drinking wine, Roque and Henry politely say goodbye.

Sure enough, the butler didn't mean to send the guests off, but the bearded knight sent Roque and Henry out of the manor.

Well, there is also the meaning of surveillance.

Leaving the manor, Roque and Henry were not very interested, and on the way back to Cape Town, Henry suddenly said without a head: "In the future, I will also live in such a manor, and hire two such butlers, one to make wine every day, and the other to bake biscuits every day." ”

It's-

Is this the meaning of buying two bowls of soy milk at a time, drinking one bowl and pouring one bowl when you have money?

"Well, if you want to live in the manor, you don't have to wait until the future, if you want to do it now." Roque deliberately digressed the subject, it was really easy to buy a manor.

The Cape Colony is vast and sparsely populated, but to what extent is it rare?

During the Boer rule of the Cape Colony, usually the Boer farms were more than 5,000 acres, although the word "Boer" means "peasant", but the Boers tarnished the Chinese understanding of the "peasant" industry, because the Boers are not good at farming, they are more accustomed to grazing, and the efficiency is extremely low, about one acre of pasture, the Boers can only raise one sheep, and raising a cow requires five acres of pasture, relatively speaking, the Boer herding technology is not even as good as those blacks.

So on a lot of Boer farms, the Boers would hire blacks to work, so you can understand why blacks hated whites so much when they came to power.

Well, the reason for the Boers to implement the apartheid system is that the Cape was built by whites and did not have the participation of blacks, blacks are of low intelligence and can only do low-level manual labor, and are not eligible to participate in the management of the country, and the Boers are the first humans to arrive in the Cape, and blacks are not indigenous to the Cape, so blacks cannot share in the fruits of national development.

In fact, it's all nonsense, the Boers did establish the concept of the Cape colony, but the blacks are undoubtedly the natives of the Cape, and the construction of the Cape was never completed by the Boers alone, the Boers took the land from the blacks, and then circled farms, or developed mines, but the real front-line workers are all blacks, isn't this enough to explain the role of blacks?

What's more interesting is that not all Boers are rich, and Boers are rich and poor, but even Boers at the bottom of society are considered ten times more noble than blacks, as evidenced by the salary, whether it is a miner or a shepherd hired on a farm, the Boer usually earn more than ten times the salary of the black, which also leads to the reluctance of those rich Boers to hire poor Boers, and the preference for using cheaper and more efficient blacks.

Yes, those poor Boers are extremely inefficient, not even as good as the blacks, but they don't know it, they are really honey self-confidence.

As for intelligence, this is more of a white conspiracy, no, it is a conspiracy, because this is how white people propagandize, in white propaganda, black people are intellectually inferior, and they are born to be enslaved by white people, and also because blacks are intellectually inferior, so there is no need to educate blacks, because the gains outweigh the losses-

Far from it!

"You know what I mean." Henry didn't think Roque didn't understand, and was a little angry at Roque's perfunctory.

"I do know what you mean, but so what? We work hard, and under normal circumstances, in ten or twenty years, we might be promoted to inspector, superintendent, or, if we're lucky, superintendent, or if we're lucky, to be the chief of police, have you calculated how much difference that we're from the governor — oh, no, that's for you, my situation is a bit special, and even if I work hard, I won't necessarily be promoted to inspector in ten or twenty years, so be realistic, my friend. Roque knew what Henry meant, but Roque was not in a position to help Henry do it.

"Don't be so discouraged, skin color is not a problem, I can't guarantee others, if I become the chief of police, I will definitely make you the deputy chief of police, we will always be good partners." Henry is still pretty good, at least that's what Roque thinks.

That said, it's a viable solution.

Roque must be difficult to climb up because of the color of his skin, but Henry does not have this problem, as a pure Englishman, as long as Henry's seniority reaches the level of promotion, then Henry's promotion will not be hindered in any way.

So, let's have a chief cultivation plan.
