The unloading operation of the small wharf in Zixia Bay took two days, and the subsequent sporadic handling and assembly of the cantilever crane was mainly completed by Ren Ke and 80 escorts.

During this period, Lao Wang Lao Zhu also took Ren Ke and their apprentices to seize the time to inspect the land water source and vegetation of Zixia Island, and Lao Wang also asked Ren Ke to find a few village elders and carefully asked whether anyone in the immigrants had planted spices, and this question actually asked that there were so many households that had planted, but these people planted pepper, garlic and cocoon, etc., and a local herbaceous and spicy plant in Yunnan, and they were very unfamiliar with the cultivation of spices such as nutmeg, clove, and pepper.

After inspecting these households, Lao Wang was a little disappointed, he thought that these farmers may not be able to plant the seeds in their hands, and these seeds are very valuable compared to them---- unless he is here every day to guide the scene.

However, this is a bit unrealistic, because Sun Lao once said to Lao Wang that the duchess's manor is very suitable for spices, and the conditions there are good, and you can also be resident to guide.

Despite this, Lao Wang finally felt that he could barely try it here, so he gave these families some nutmeg, cloves, pepper, and pepper seeds, and asked them to set aside a few points of land for special trial planting.

Then, he found a few farmers with a relatively high level of farming, took out a few bags of cocoa bean seeds and tobacco seeds and distributed them to the farmers, and told these farmers that if the planting was successful, they would make a fortune.

Although these farmers didn't know what these seeds were, they readily agreed to the trial planting requirements for these crops because they valued the silver given by Lao Wang, and promised to operate in strict accordance with the details explained by Lao Wang.

Just when Lao Wang was busy looking for farmers to help him try planting, Lao Zhu was not idle, he was led by the guards, looking for pastures that could be grazing, after a field investigation, Lao Zhu thought that this Zixia Island was indeed as described in the information, the terrain was flat, the water and grass were abundant, he inspected along the coastline, and asked the Pride to bring him a few bundles of grass back when he passed by Zixia Island on the return journey.

At the end of the two-day inspection, Lao Zhu called Lao Wang and Ren Ke together and said that he suggested that Zixia Island should be used as the main animal husbandry base of the cooperative, and now in the breeding farm on Sydney Island, the third generation of Limousin cattle and merino sheep have been successfully produced, so our "agricultural and animal husbandry cooperative" should make full use of the natural conditions here to carry out large-scale investment and construction.

Lao Zhu believes that Zixia Island has a warm climate, abundant precipitation, fertile land, and is close to the sea, and the conditions for doing food industry are very good, and the labor force here is relatively abundant, so we not only have to raise the above two kinds of livestock here, but also let the immigrants here help the cooperative raise dairy cows.

In this way, together with the cultivation of cocoa beans, spices and tobacco leaves presided over by Lao Wang, Zixiadao will become a major industrial base of the cooperative, including a processing plant for various foods and spices, in addition to chocolate, five-spice powder and cigarettes, as well as canned pickled food, spicy sauce, canned fish and so on.

Once we succeed here, coupled with the products with broad market prospects such as sweet potato spirits and fairy cave milk wine that we have successfully developed in the early stage, our "Australian Commonwealth Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry Cooperative" is expected to become a giant multinational enterprise, a commercial and industrial empire.

At this time, Lao Wang was a little hesitant to say to Lao Zhu and Ren Ke, judging from the contact with the farmers in the past two days, the overall feeling is that at present, we rely on the cooperative planting of immigrants to do this, and the progress is a little slow, and we have to persuade farmers to accept our crops, obviously there is a relatively long-term process, because these crops are very unfamiliar to most farmers, and for farmers, there is still a process of training and practice, so there is no condition to order compulsory planting.

Therefore, if you want to quickly establish the entire industrial chain in the near future, a necessary prerequisite is to obtain a large number of labor as soon as possible to engage in intensive large-scale operation.

To put it bluntly, we should learn from the manor system of North America, engage in a large-scale, single-breed manor economy, carry out efficient and unified training of labor, and operate intensively.

Instead of relying on the loose alliance of households and cooperatives to build the basic elements of the industrial chain, as is the case now.

Lao Zhu nodded frequently after hearing this, and he said to the two on a whim, otherwise, let's go to Xin'an City to have a look, persuade Xiao Xiao Xiaowei and them, and give us some of the blacks in the naturalization camp, I heard that Xin'an City has built three naturalization camps, and it is quite crowded.

After listening to Lao Zhu's suggestion, Lao Wang smiled and said, Obviously, the labor force of the naturalization camp is very suitable for this single, large-scale manor economic model, just like the cotton, banana and sugar cane cultivation in North America.

Then he asked: What do you think of the Duchess's estate?

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately responded, That's right, that manor is very suitable! And we don't have to pay labor fees per household, where else can we stay......"

"In this way, our cooperative can really take off quickly."

At this time, Ren Ke shook his head beside him and said, Well, the duchess is easy to say, but the two teachers want to use the labor force of the naturalization camp, which is a little difficult, I am afraid that Wei Hong and they will not agree......

Lao Wang was puzzled and asked Ren Kedao:

"From last year to now, Xiao Hou Xiao Wei and their sisters have had a hot fight with that Arab trafficker named Lefik, who sends them hundreds of trade laborers every few months, and I heard that the number of people in the naturalization camp has reached more than 3,000, why don't you give it to us?"

"No, the old faces of the two of us are put in front of them, how much do we have to buy it?"

Lao Zhu also nodded in agreement.

Before Lao Zhu's voice fell, Ren Ke shook his head again and responded, two uncles, I'm afraid that people are really unwilling, recently Kangwang Electric Power is planning the Xin'anjiang Dam there, which is a big user of labor.

And the duchess's sugar cane plantation has also expanded, plus Xin'an City is engaged in urban construction every day, recently Xiao Da musician shouted in the telegram every day that the labor force is not enough, I don't know if it's really or not, but this is obviously the idea of being afraid that the big guys will hit their naturalization camp!.

By the way, I also heard that Wei Hong is planning to come up with a new policy again, in order to expand his garrison, he is reporting to Sun Lao, asking for permission to recruit him on a large scale in the naturalization camp, and he also intends to announce a preferential condition: as long as he participates in his garrison, the original eight years of points will be shortened to six years, and if he makes military achievements, the time will be even shorter! In this case, it is estimated that it will be difficult to release people from Xin'an City.

Lao Zhu groaned and didn't speak, but Lao Wang thought about it and responded: Having said that, it's up to people to do it.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu, how about we go to Xin'an City? How about doing their job in person?

Okay, anyway, the Nicole is coming from Sulu soon, so let's take a hitchhike......

Okay, let's go!

So it's decided......

"Two uncles, how are you going to convince them?"

Ren Ke asked curiously.

The two bigwigs looked at each other and smiled:

"Well, what Wei Hong and they need most at the moment is to expand their armaments, but Xiao Xia's side is a little picky, if we tell them that we are willing to rent the labor force in the naturalization camp......"

"Rental?"

"That's right, and rightly so, the development of Zixia Island is the current strategic priority, and doing so also supplements Wei Hong's lack of military spending, and Xiao Xia has nothing to say......"

……

Two days later, the supply brought by the Pride to Zixia Island was finally moved, Ren Ke took the container iron house as his temporary office, tried to live for a few days, and felt that this kind of house was okay, at least it could shelter from the wind and rain, although the blazing sun on Zixia Island often baked the iron plate of the container, but if a layer of artemisia grass was laid on the roof, plus the usual windows were opened for ventilation, it was not so hot during the day, and if it was rainy and cloudy, it would be even more fine, and at night, because the iron plate dissipated heat quickly, the whole house was still very cool.

The reason why Ren Ke went to great lengths to ask these containers for housing was that in addition to safety considerations, he also planned to do an important thing: to run a school.
