Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The conditions in Africa are really good. There are many wild animals and tropical fruits. Africans do not need to work hard to survive. This may be the reason why Africans like to relax and dislike work.

The Chinese grew up in East Asia, where the pressure of competition is huge. There are hundreds of millions of people in that place. Farming is the only way to survive. In an era when the average yield per mu was two to three hundred kilograms, 50% of land rent was the norm, and 46% to 46%.

It’s common to fall below 37 or even 28. If you don’t work hard, you won’t even be qualified to survive.

At the Port of St. George in Victoria, there is a constant flow of new immigrants one after another. Within a week after arriving at the Port of St. George, these new immigrants will go to the Nyasaland Agricultural Company or the Rhodesian Company located in various parts of Victoria.

's farm.

These farms are generally huge in area, with some covering an area of ​​more than 100,000 acres and requiring tens of thousands of workers. The farm No. 1022 that Mr. Chen and his family are going to is a holding farm with an area of ​​150,000 acres.

"God, 900,000 acres, how many kilograms of grain will be harvested in that year?" When he heard the number 900,000, Mr. Chen was dumbfounded. The largest landowner in his hometown only owned less than 2,000 acres of land. That was already ten miles away.

A well-known local rich man.

"Haha, Boss Chen, the farms here don't grow food. They grow tobacco, coffee, tea, and sugar cane. You should know about tobacco. Have you ever drunk coffee?" The young man leading the team wore a curved-brimmed hat on his head.

Wearing a jacket and overalls common in southern Africa, and wearing a pistol on the belt around his waist, Mr. Chen was in awe.

 In Mr. Chen’s impression, a pistol is not only a symbol of status, but also means that he has the power of life and death and can kill people at will. Such people are not easy to mess with.

But this young man named Yu Chang is very kind. He speaks fluent northern Mandarin and has an amiable attitude towards others. When they just met, Yu Chang gave Chen Lao's two daughters a chocolate each. This made Chen Lao have a deep impression of Chang.

Feeling good suddenly.

"Have you drank it? Have you drank it? I drank coffee every day on the ship? But I still can't get used to it. It's not as good as a big bowl of tea." Mr. Chen said honestly? Before coming to southern Africa, each of them had accepted it more than once.

Reminder? You must be honest in southern Africa. You are absolutely not allowed to lie, otherwise you may be deported.

Mr. Chen did not want to be deported. His hometown had been destroyed by the war, otherwise he would not have left his hometown and came to southern Africa.

Mr. Chen is quite lucky. At least all seven members of his family came to southern Africa smoothly. This is a blessing among misfortunes.

"There's no problem with a big bowl of tea. The tea produced in Victoria is quite good and has now been sold to London. When it comes to the Nyasaland tea brand, everyone in London knows it." Yu Chang looked proud?

In the past, the best-selling tea in London came from India, but now Indian tea is being strongly impacted by tea from southern Africa.

The technology of tea grown by Indians was stolen from the Chinese, and was later so-called improved to create the nondescript British afternoon tea.

 A large number of Chinese immigrated to southern Africa, bringing real tea technology? Southern African tea has been well received after entering the British market? The Indian tea market is constantly being eroded? Especially the high-end tea market has been severely impacted.

“Mr. Yu, I heard that when our people come to southern Africa, they will provide houses and land.” Mr. Chen looked hopeful. A piece of land that truly belongs to him is an obsession that will never change in the hearts of all Chinese people.

"That was before, but now this policy has been cancelled," Yu Chang said bluntly. This is the benefit of daring to eat crabs. Those Chinese who immigrated to Southern Africa in the early years have become a new generation of farmers in Southern Africa. Now these immigrants to Southern Africa

Although Chinese people also have opportunities, the difficulty is definitely much higher.

"Of course there is no chance. If you perform well enough while working, you can become a Southern African citizen after five years. At that time, you can go to the bank for a loan, plus your savings in the past few years, to buy a car that truly belongs to you.

Farm." Yu Chang's words made Mr. Chen overjoyed. He didn't expect to be divided into houses and land when he came to southern Africa, as long as he had hope.

 Yes, as long as there is hope, many people will work hard for hope. What they are afraid of is that there is no hope at all, and that is the real despair.

Although it is impossible to divide the land, it is still possible to divide the house.

 One day later, Mr. Chen and his family came to Farm No. 1022, and the person in charge of the resettlement work was also a young man.

“Boss Chen, what is your real name?” The young man works hard, and the registration here is obviously more detailed than when he disembarked from St. George Port.

“I don’t have a name. I am the eldest child in the family, so I call me Mr. Chen *********?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‖

 “Iron Egg”

The young man frowned and thought for a moment, and decided to register Mr. Chen’s name as Mr. Chen. Although the name Tiedan was not bad, it didn’t feel right for someone in his forties.

“How old are your five children?” The young man continued to register.

"Originally, there were seven children. One was injured a few years ago, and one was taken away and lost his voice. There are five children left. The oldest is only 12 years old and the youngest is only five years old." Mr. Chen's face was full of worry.

He didn't know what to register these for.

"Okay, all your five children will go to school, and at least complete the compulsory education. You and your wife will start working in a week. You don't have to worry about the children's studies. The school is in the town, every day

I will take care of the meals at noon and evening. In the evening, you can choose to live on campus or go home to stay. Are there any questions?" The young man completed the registration and gave Mr. Chen a certificate, which also meant that Mr. Chen and his family had officially joined Nigeria.

Asalan Agriculture Company.

“Does the school charge a fee?” Mr. Chen was hit by a huge surprise. He knew that a school is a school. Although he had heard countless times that schools in southern Africa do not charge fees, he still couldn’t help but confirm it.

"The school does not charge fees, but you and your wife have to work hard, otherwise the school will cancel the opportunity for your children to study." There was a warm smile on the young man's face. Nyasaland Agricultural Company has really grasped this.

The lifeblood of the Chinese people, for the opportunity for their children to study, the Chinese will work hard even if there are no other benefits.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, we must work hard, otherwise we can still be considered human beings.” Mr. Chen burst into tears with gratitude. The people from the immigration company were right, southern Africa is indeed a paradise.

Mr. Chen and his family were assigned a brand-new two-story wooden house common in southern Africa. No one had ever lived in it before. The wooden house occupied a large area. The front and back yards combined were half an acre of land. When Mr. Chen knew that the yard

When the land could be used as he wished, Mr. Chen immediately decided to plant vegetables in front of and behind the house, and then raise some chickens, ducks and geese. It would not take long for the life to be prosperous.

The surprises did not stop. Although Mr. Chen and his wife would not start work until a week later, Mr. Chen personally took the children to register at school early the next morning. He did not want to delay the children for even a minute.

The school is located in the center of the entire town. It can be seen that the entire town is built around the school.

Different from the townhouses around the school, the entire school's buildings are all permanent buildings with reinforced concrete structures. Through the school wall composed of iron fences, what Boss Chen saw was lush lawns and neatly trimmed trees.

In the landscape belt, there is a path built with stone slabs in the middle of the lawn, leading to the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lawn. A group of boys wearing overalls are chasing and playing on the lawn, and several girls wearing red checkered skirts are studying in the octagonal pavilion.

Boss Chen has never seen this scene before.

“Please come in, I am the principal of this primary school, my surname is Li, are they the children who are about to enter school?” The amiable principal surnamed Li received Mr. Chen in the spacious and bright office.

"Principal Li, please excuse me." Mr. Chen led the children to kneel down and kowtow. This is not self-deprecation. In Chinese tradition, "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Dear, Teacher" can be kowtowed to. Except in these cases,

Whoever asks you to kneel down, greet his ancestors for eight generations.

It's not a curse, but a family tree. What if it's an elder?

“Get up, get up, we don’t pay attention to this in southern Africa.” Principal Li stood up and helped him. He was not too scared. In 1922, the emperor had only abdicated a few years ago.

 After sitting down again, Principal Li asked the children if they had received education before.

"The second and third children went to private schools for a few days, but then they couldn't afford to pay Shuxiu, so they never went to the school again. Later, war broke out, the school was burned down by the rebels, and the professors were missing." Mr. Chen's words made Li The principal felt heavy. How many children like this are left homeless in the Far East?

"It doesn't matter, we can start all over again. You can also receive compulsory education at the age of 12, and you may also be admitted to the University of Nyasaland in the future." Principal Li has a good education. Many adults in southern Africa also attend night classes after work, or It's other training. As long as you want to receive education, there is always an opportunity.

What surprised Mr. Chen was that the school not only provided food, but also distributed new clothes to the new students who had just entered school. They were all new inside and out, two sets for each student.

The fabric of the clothes is not very good, even a little rough, but it feels very strong and the workmanship is not bad. Although it is not exquisite, the threads are trimmed cleanly, and the clothes are distributed according to the students' body shape, so they are not baggy. Not too tight, each of the three boys also got a leather belt, which flattered Mr. Chen.

"Although clothes don't cost money, you should take care of them. No matter whether they are new or old, they should be clean. Coming to southern Africa is a new beginning. You should start your new life with a new look." Principal Li's words are meant for the children. What we said was also said to Mr. Chen.
