If it weren't for the British arrangement, there is a high probability that the Chinese police would not have been able to become roommates with the Indian police.

If you don't have contact with Indians, you don't know how bad the living habits of Indians are, they are habitually lazy, they can lie down and never sit, they are extremely untrustworthy, the Chinese are not trustworthy at the wine table, the Indians can't be trusted in any case, they don't pay attention to hygiene to a ridiculous degree, even if the hands of eating and washing their buttocks are separated, but putting these two things together sounds very unhygienic, and at the same time Indians also lie, they always have all kinds of strange reasons, For example, Roque is hospitalized and Kunale also has to rest, and it is estimated that Kunaler feels that this request is very reasonable.

Among the police weapons they used, there is a kind of rattan woven with Indonesian rattan, this rattan was originally used by the British to teach the Indians, as the suzerainty of India, the British in the long experience of dealing with the Indians, finally realized that education has no effect on the Indians, so the British used rattan to communicate with the Indians, make mistakes, fight! Disobedient, hit! If it doesn't please the eye, it's better to fight!

Anton has not yet summed up the way to deal with Indians, but Roque is no stranger, and he can't be polite to Indians, Chinese people are always kind to people in their daily lives, and other people are likely to repay them with peach, and Indians will take this politeness as a matter of course, just like raising pets, if the owner does not punish the pet appropriately when it makes a mistake, then sooner or later, the pet will think that he is the owner.

Sitting in the spacious and bright room, Roque finally had a little peace in his heart, full of warmth and lust - no, to prepare for a rainy day, Roque searched all over his body, and found only five pounds plus fifteen shillings, which was all Roque's possessions.

Thanks to the strong value of the pound, a pound is about 3.9 taels of silver, and 5.75 pounds is about 22.6 taels of silver, which is a lot of money for the poor, but for Roque, it is just better than nothing, and if he wants to mix up his personal appearance, it is not enough to rely on this money, Roque has to find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

Speaking of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, after seeing the richness of the meals in the cafeteria, Roque suddenly realized that there seemed to be no need to invite everyone to dinner, the meals in the cafeteria were already rich enough, even if Roque went to buy it, it was only to this extent, since this is the case, then invite everyone to have a drink.

Just do it, Roque went out and called Li De to go to the market together, there are dozens of people, and a cup per person costs dozens of catties, Roque doesn't want to carry it back alone.

In 1900, when the British Empire was at its peak, the British paid a total of £220 million to conquer the Boers.

Prices were also quite low, with a pound of fresh wheat beer costing six pence, black tea from India costing 24 pence a pound, Madame Veuve Clicquot champagne fifteen shillings a bottle, and a box of twenty Havana cigars costing one pound.

Champagne and cigars are definitely high consumption for Roque now, and Roque is not interested in black tea from India, so Roque only bought beer, a full 50 pounds, and spent 1.5 pounds.

"It's too expensive, such a beer actually costs six or seven taels of silver, and it's almost the same for grabbing it." Although it wasn't Li De who spent money, Li De still felt pain in his flesh and hurt for Roque.

"Hehe, you all have to support your family, I am one person to feed the whole family and not hungry, what do you want money for." In fact, Roque also hurts, but for Roque, making money is not a very difficult thing, just with Roque's fluent English, it is not very difficult to find a foreign company to eat, but what kind of foreign company can be more powerful than the British Empire, to mix up under the British, it is not possible to spend some money, more than 30 Chinese police officers in the Cape Town Police Department are Roque's capital.

"I've saved five pounds, and if I have ten more, I'll be able to bring my mother to Cape Town, and when the time comes, I'll buy dozens of acres of good land, and let my mother live a good life for a few days." Li De's idea was different from Roque's, and when he came to Cape Town, Li De realized that the world was so big, for most British, the Cape Colony was a poor country, but for the Chinese, the Cape was a paradise.

Cape Town is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, and before the opening of the Suez Canal, all ships traveling to and from Europe and Asia had to pass through Cape Town for rest and replenishment, so it became the largest port in Africa, and trade and taxation were the backbone of Cape Town's economy.

The main population of Cape Town is Boer, and the British have formulated a lot of preferential conditions to attract immigrants in order to reduce the proportion of the local Boer population, but unfortunately most of the British are not interested in the Cape Colony, so the British do not refuse any foreign immigrants, including Chinese, as long as they are willing to immigrate to the Cape, they can buy land from the colonial government at a low price.

"Do your best, there's a chance." Roque is not resistant to immigration, it is now 1900, and then the Qing Congress has continued to break out wars, which have lasted for decades, relatively speaking, Cape is a paradise, even if World War I and World War II did not affect Cape, if Roque has a family in the Qing State, then Roque will bring his family to Cape as soon as possible.

Of course, immigration is not a very simple matter, Roque and Li De are both from the north of the Qing Dynasty, the distance from Tianjin to Cape is more than 17,000 kilometers, the ferry ticket is the main cost of immigration, and Roque and these Chinese policemen have a monthly salary of only one pound, and it is not easy to save enough money for the ferry ticket.

"It would be nice if we were British, I heard that the British police can get ten pounds a month, so much money, I really don't know how they spend it." Li De looked envious, and the salary of ten pounds a month was out of reach for Li De.

"Hehe, don't think that the British can get so much, this is the Cape, a British colony, and it is thousands of miles away from the British mainland, and the British police here are subsidized, and the British police don't get ten pounds a month, and five or six are up to the sky." Roque didn't believe that the British were so wealthy, the average British income in these years was only 32 pounds, and those who could earn more than 100 pounds a year were the middle class, and no matter how strong the British government was, it would be impossible for all Britons to live a middle-class life.

The United States in the twenty-first century can't do it either.

Back in the dormitory, Kunale hadn't come back yet, Roque didn't care, he was going to come back sooner or later, and was about to go out to find Anton to call someone, when there was a sudden shouting and scolding from the dormitory next to him.

This scene is also very common, this is a Chinese police officer gambling, and someone must be in a hurry to lose.
