On Christmas Day, Tata once again put nearly 3,000 Africans from two tribes on a migrant ship bound for the Kingdom of Mozambique.

This time there were no accidents, and the chiefs of the two tribes did not bargain and directly accepted the compensation given by the federal government, much to Tata's regret.

But it doesn't matter, for every tribe of Africans sent away, Tata will receive a cash prize, which is not as quick as the direct robbery, but it is better than nothing.

Looking at the slowly departing migrant boat, Zuya was stunned, as if he saw a large number of winged rants slowly flying away.

Tata is still very fair in doing things, every time there is additional income, these subordinates of Tata can more or less get a point, don't underestimate these extra income, it is actually a lot.

On the way back to Sishilan, Zua couldn't help but ask a question, asking where the Africans would be sent.

Although the federal government ostensibly sent these Africans to the Kingdom of Mozambique, Zoya always felt that something was wrong, and in the concept of Zoua, the white colonial government had never been so kind.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, do your job." Tata still didn't explain anything, Christian HR was huge, and Tata didn't know where the Africans would end up.

But what makes Tata happy is that Christian Human Resources is still good to Tata and their African employees, Tata is a middle-level employee in Christian Human Resources, his family lives in the Kingdom of Congo, in southern Africa, Africans do not have the right to buy houses and land, in the Kingdom of Congo, Africans are not subject to any restrictions, and the plantations in the Kingdom of Congo are cheaper than farms in southern Africa.

Tata owns a plantation of more than 350 acres in the Kingdom of Congo, which translates to about 1.4 square kilometers, which is not too large, but enough for the Tata family to live happily.

Unlike southern Africa, which has eliminated slavery, the establishment of the Kingdom of Congo still continued the notorious slavery system of the reign of Leopold II, except that the white people who used to be powerful in the Congo Free State have been replaced by the African magnates who are now successful in power, and the oppression of the Africans at the bottom has not changed.

There are more than 100 African workers on Tata's plantations, all of whom are strictly slaves, with no personal freedom, no pay, no freedom to marry, and their arms may be cut off if they make mistakes in their work.

Influenced by southern Africans, Tata is different from other irresponsible Africans, and every time he pays a salary, Tata saves his salary as much as possible to send it to his home in the Kingdom of Congo, and sometimes buys some southern African industrial goods for people to send back, and last month Tata sent back five shotguns to strengthen the plantation's security capabilities.

Those shotguns were purchased through Christian Human Resources, and as an African, Tata was not eligible to buy weapons in southern Africa.

Back at the camp where he was temporarily staying, Zuya brought people back from hunting an antelope and picking some fruit, which is good in southern Africa, where no number of people can go hungry.

Sitting by a roaring campfire and nibbling on a golden leg of lamb is not bad for a long time.

It's a pity that southern Africa does not accept Africans, and this land does not belong to Africans after all.

Also at Christmas, the town of Lumisa does not have the slightest festive atmosphere, the new immigrants in the town are all Chinese, they do not have the habit of Christmas, in recent years, the Chinese in southern Africa have also begun to celebrate the New Year, but the celebration is the traditional Chinese New Year, not the Western Christmas.

Two days ago, Chen Da and Roger went to Lorenço Marques together, and bought two horses for forty rands, and today Chen Da is going to open up the wasteland.

Chen Da's farm is next to the small town of Lumisa, it sounds like a hundred acres is huge, but in fact it is not much, a square piece of land, a small stream passes through the middle, this stream makes Chen Da very satisfied, at least he does not have to worry about irrigation.

Planted for half a lifetime, Chen Da is still the first time to use the horse, in the time of origin, Chen Da village only the landlord's family has two ploughing ox, Chen Da has never used, every time to plow the land, Chen Da's family of men, women and children together, a morning can not finish plowing an acre of land.

The use of pull horses is obviously much faster, both horses are common shire horses in southern Africa, tall, fat and strong, the plough used in southern Africa is not the familiar zigzag plough, but the common iron plough in Europe, this kind of plough generally has two to four plough mouths, there are wheels on both sides to control the depth of the plow mouth, and the furrow out of the plough is deep and neat.

I heard that Chen Da was going to open up the wasteland, and the neighbors in the town came to help, which is also the tradition of the Chinese, the era of lack of ploughing cattle, the role of labor became more and more prominent, and in the hometown, it was usually several families who helped each other in order to complete the annual autumn harvest and spring ploughing.

In order to make pulling the horse more labor-saving, Chen Da tied two ropes to the iron plow, and prepared to help him and his wife pull together, but several high neighbors took the initiative to stand up, and the rope was increased to four, all of which were replaced by adult labor, Chen Da was responsible for supporting the plow, and the purpose of the neighbors was not only to help, but also to take this opportunity to evaluate the role of pulling the horse.

After all, every household has hundreds of acres of land, and they all rely on manpower to open up wasteland, which can exhaust people to death, so it is estimated that every household will have to buy horses and cattle, and it is really impossible to make money to buy it.

Everything was ready, Chen shouted, the people and horses exerted their strength together, and the iron plough finally moved slowly.

The effect is really good, there is the control of the wheel, the ditch is really deep and neat, an old man with a frosty face grabbed a handful of fresh soil that had just been turned out, first tested the adhesion of the soil, and then put it under his nose and took a deep breath, almost tears in his eyes.

"How's this soil?" Roger can't wait, the quality of the soil is related to the prospects of these farms, and to the future of Lumisa.

"It's good, it's good-" The old man's voice was a little blocked, and he directly grabbed the soil and showed it to Roger: "-This is all good fertility, as long as you plant the seeds, you can grow crops without fertilization, and you can beat at least two or three hundred catties per acre of land, and the best land in our hometown is not as good as this." ”

The old man's words caused a burst of cheers, and Chen Dahe and several people who were pulling the plow also began to grab and smell, and then they were all silent, and the tears were relatively low and began to wipe their tears.

"Normal, this is tens of thousands of years old, it is estimated that the land here has never been cultivated, think about how fertile it is, now rest assured, and let me tell you a good news, we do not charge agricultural taxes in southern Africa, and how much of the harvest in the field is our own, which is the only shoe in the whole world." Roger was completely relieved, if this was the case in the land around Lumisa, then Lumisa's future really didn't have to worry.

"Not a penny in tax?" Chen Da still didn't believe it, he used to know that there was no agricultural tax in southern Africa, and he thought that it was a human tooth to lure immigrants to open his mouth, but now it seems that most of this is true, even if it is a lie, it will become true if it is repeated a thousand times.

"Boss Chen, do you think the federal government will take a fancy to your two jujubes? Let me tell you, any large company in Nyasaland can generate profits as much as the whole of Eswatini every year, and Southern Africa is not subject to agricultural taxes, but if agricultural products enter circulation, then commercial taxes will be levied - but it has nothing to do with you. Roger didn't want to ask for trouble, and it was a bit difficult for these new immigrants who hadn't read a book to understand what an agricultural tax was and what a business tax was.

"Then what are you waiting for, tomorrow we will go to Naluo to buy horses, don't care about what to plant, turn over the ground first."

"That's it, turn the ground early-"

"I don't have enough money—"

The new immigrants are talking a lot, and seeing that the bright days are ahead, the hearts of all sizes are hot.

"If the money is not enough, a few families will get together, the more the better, this kind of plow generally needs four horses to pull it, not to mention a hundred acres at the end of the day, eighty acres must be there." Roger knows some data, but the specific situation still needs to be analyzed specifically, theoretically four horses can indeed plough a hundred acres of land a day, but then people and horses are too tired, fifty or sixty acres a day is actually too late.

"But I have to remind everyone that we have a clear rainy season and dry season in southern Africa, and now is the rainy season, and you have also seen it, since we came to Eswatini, we have not seen a few days of sunny weather, not to mention this year, tomorrow while the dry season, we will also repair the surrounding rivers and streams, when the federal government pays for it, we will contribute, and the good days are still to come-" Roger cheered everyone on, the conditions were given, but to live a good life, it still depends on the efforts of the Lumisa people.

"Don't worry, Mayor Town, if we don't have a good life, we deserve to be poor for the rest of our lives." Chen Da is full of confidence, when it comes to farming, the Chinese are really not afraid of anyone.

On this day, the two horses of the Chen family, together with the help of neighbors, opened a total of 20 acres of wasteland.

The whole 20 acres, all of which are fertile and oily land, the sun sets, Chen Da is still reluctant to rest, and he can't wait to sleep in the ground at night.

But it's not okay to rest, people can withstand it, and they can't hold the horses, and when the two horses go home, their hind legs are trembling, which makes Chen Da feel distressed, and he decided to give the two horses a meal at night, and he wants to treat them well.

Early the next morning, several heads of the family approached Roger, hoping that Roger would take them to Lorenço Marques to buy horses.

Roger made simple statistics, and he didn't know how these people made up the money, but he actually wanted to buy 14 horses in one go, including two that Chen Da wanted to buy.

In this kind of matter, Chinese investment will never be stingy, and there is investment to reap.

ps: Yesterday I fell asleep on the chair directly at 11 o'clock, and woke up to find that it was half past two, and it was already six o'clock when I woke up - it's really not okay to live irregularly, brothers should also take care of their bodies, don't go to the age of fish head to recall the years no longer -
