Everyone sees Ren Ke's behavior, and everyone knows that Ren Ke is working hard now and wants to take on his own mission on his own stage.

For this reason, Sun Lao was very happy, because Ren Ke's performance did not fail his recommendation, and also invisibly improved his prestige among the traversers.

However, Sun Lao is a person who has come over, and he knows that although a young man like Ren Ke can do things in the environment of Xiaowanshan Island, when he takes this group of strangers to leave this environment and go to a deserted island to reclaim wasteland, it is unknown whether he can control this group of people.

Therefore, Sun Lao sent a telegram from Xin'an City to Macao, putting forward three specific suggestions.

The first is to ask Xiao Ai to select some members from the garrison, especially those who are more convinced of Ren Ke to form his side, and call them the Governor's Guard.

Sun Lao emphasized that these people must be honest and loyal, and if they can't do it, they will find students from the Dayuan Bay Water Village, and if they can't do it, they will find students from Zhuyuan Public School, and the number should not be less than 50 people, and they must be fully armed to make them Ren Ke's right and left hands.

In this way, when he is the governor of Zixia Island, he will not face unexpected threats.

After all, what Ren Ke is going to face independently is a large group of people in the wilderness, although these people seem to be honest now, but when these people are in the wilderness, whether they are subject to Ren Ke's control, or whether they can be controlled in some cases---- these are all unknown.

The second suggestion is: in the future, the Feminist or Captain Timo must be left with Ren Ke, not only for defense and transportation, but also as a refuge in the event of an unexpected situation.

The third suggestion is to equip Zixia Island with a high-powered radio station in the cave, just like Xin'an, so that he can contact the Red Mansion, Xin'an City, Macau, and all our ships at any time.

In this way, Zixia Island can also relay telegrams from Macao and all other ships at any time, so that Zixia Island can become a radio communication relay station, and completely solve the problem of poor communication between Macao and the Red Mansion.

Sun Lao's proposal was immediately unanimously approved by the two ships and three places.

Since mid-April, the preparations for the immigration of Zixia Island have been carried out in an orderly manner, and soon Yang Qiaoqiao knew that Ren Ke was going to Zixia Island to reclaim the wasteland, and she immediately said that she would also follow---- so naturally she would bring two concubines.

And Ren Ke was a little embarrassed, he felt that Zixia Island was currently a desert island, and he really couldn't bear to let his wife and concubine suffer this, not to mention what would happen after landing on that island, no one knew.

So Ren Ke returned to Xiyuan and talked to his wife and concubine for a long time, and finally persuaded Yang Qiaoqiao to let her live in Xiyuan with peace of mind for the time being, and learn medicine with Sister Lilia by the way, and when the conditions on Zixia Island are a little better, I will take you there immediately.

What Ren Ke didn't expect was that half a year later, Ren Ke received not only three wives and concubines on Zixia Island, but a large group of women, and this group of women finally made great contributions to the development of Zixia Island.

The reason turned out to be another hidden identity of Yang Qiaoqiao: she was born in a female village on the right bank of the Xijiang River and belonged to a group called "self-combing girls".

In the Lingnan area, "self-combing women" is a very special social phenomenon, they usually do not marry for life and form a female village to be self-sufficient, relying on farming and various female red crafts to make a living, they will do all kinds of business outside, this is a rather mysterious and a certain scale of women's organizations.

Well, for the sake of narrative coherence, let's bring the conversation back to the sunny afternoon of April 21.

In the crew restaurant of the Pride, Xue Huang and Li Zhuren and others discussed the current situation for a while, and the topic quickly entered the main topic: determining the time to set sail to Zixia Island.

First of all, Li Zhu and the others paid Xue Laixiang a head fee and a total of 9,000 taels of silver according to ---- agreement.

Xue Huang and the others immediately added the silver they brought with them, bought 20,000 taels of silver Australian calico, Australian magic medicine and glassware, and then set sail for Leizhou in the evening of the same day.

Six days later, the Xue family's fleet returned to the East Beach Wharf with all kinds of reclamation materials and grain, and the Pride had already finished its business in Macao and returned here for three days.

At this time, the Assassin, the Feminist and Captain Timo were also ready to go, plus the seven large and small ships of Xue and Huang, the size of the fleet reached eleven, and with the development of various preparations, the entire East Beach Pier suddenly became lively.

Previously, the Pride had only stayed in Macao for two days, and the goods of 350,000 taels of silver were quickly divided between Portuguese merchants and four Chinese merchants, among which the newly added glass bottle of Xianrendong milk wine was the most popular among Chinese merchants.

Listening to the Ao family, the last time the Zhong Liang family sold many glass bottles of Xianren Cave milk wine to the Zhennan Palace, it is said that the palace is particularly favored by this wine, and the prince also caused a sensation when he took this wine to entertain guests.

And also listen to the Liang family's family said, not long after, Shang Kexi was impeached by the imperial history again---- it is said that it is a young imperial history of a certain anxious to earn performance, the imperial history said in the recital to the Shunzhi Emperor, this prince is lawless, not to mention the private sea market, but also extravagant, the rare treasures obtained are taken by themselves to enjoy Yunyun.

As a result, I heard that Shang Kexi was forced to pay tribute to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the remaining Xianren Cave milk wine, which exempted him from continuing to be held responsible.

Of course, this is just gossip, I don't know if it's true or not.

However, after hearing this, Zhu Beiguo pondered for a moment and said, this should be true news, because the Internal Affairs Office does often do this kind of thing.

It's just that once this wine enters the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I'm afraid that Macau may get into trouble, but it may also be an opportunity---- trouble is that if the emperor asks you to pay tribute, what should you do if you don't have the goods in your hand?

After all, the supply on our side is also unstable, the main reason is that the brewing technology on Lao Wang's side is still being explored, and so far, Lao Wang's Xianrendong milk wine is still in the experimental stage of small batch production.

Of course, there are opportunities, after all, the other party regards itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and has always paid attention to thin and thick exchanges, and now the Qing Dynasty has of course learned a lot, and the emperor is happy, and it is difficult to say that the reward for Macao's "Haiyi" is thicker.

Anyway, it's business for us, and it seems that Lao Wang's side is going to seize the technological exploration to expand the scale of production......

Early in the morning of the third day, the Pride set sail to Xiaowanshan Island to wait for Xue Laixiang's fleet, and it is expected that in a few days, the Pride will lead this huge fleet to arrive at Zixia Island first, and after unloading supplies and immigrants, the Xue family's fleet will return to Leizhou to continue to recruit and transport immigrants and do round-trip business for Zixia Island, and the Pride will take the remaining three ships to reroute to Xin'an City.

There, 40 orphans adopted by the Dili Church and 50 orphans from the naturalization camp will be on board.

The orphans in these camps are said to have come from India and the Arabian Peninsula, ethnically with white, black and yellow Indian children, and this is a new business started by trafficker Lefik on the advice of Hou Xianglin and Wei Hong.

The Pride and three sailing ships were then to Mornington Island with all sorts of supplies and a total of 130 children......

On the morning of April 28, the flotilla with the Pride as the flagship finally set sail from the East Beach Pier and sailed to Zixia Island.

The fleet was led by the Pride, followed by the Assassin, followed by the Xue family's seven galleons and the Captain Timo in two columns to the left and right, and the Women's Rights at the rear.

The fleet of eleven ships, carrying a total of 1,673 men, women, children, and a large amount of supplies, is expected to arrive at Holo Harbor in 10 days to replenish supplies and fresh water, and then arrive at Zixia Island in two to three days.

Previously, the Red Chamber sent a formal appointment in time: Zhu Beiguo finally took charge of himself and became the acting captain of the Feminist, and the position of first mate was temporarily held by Ren Ke, while Peng Qiang and Hu Xiaolin became the acting captain and first mate of the Captain Timo respectively.
