In addition to the new Qinzhou wharf, there is also a wharf near the estuary at the end of Heishi Road, which Li Junming called Nugu Port, because the estuary is located in the area of the more than 300 women, children and aunts who first arrived on Zixia Island, and in addition, several islands in the north outside Nugu Port have been allocated to Nuzhai to house the women of more than a dozen other women's villages who are about to arrive on Zixia Island.

In October, the dry season of the tropical rainforest climate finally arrived, and the resettlement of migrants from the north and south of Zixia Island was temporarily suspended, and people began to grow various crops on the newly reclaimed land.

Food crops include rice, sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes, which are well suited to the water and soil climate conditions of Zixia Island, and cash crops include sugarcane, cocoa seedlings and tobacco seedlings.

The seeds of all these crops were brought by Lao Wang on behalf of Nicole, except for cocoa seedlings, which only tried to sow 1,000 mu because of the difficulty of cultivation and the long cycle, the minimum sowing area of other crops was thousands to tens of thousands of mu.

In addition, farmers also sow a variety of vegetable seeds, the scale is also thousands of acres, as for poultry, as early as the early days of reclamation, almost every household has begun to stock, but the number of pigs and sheep is very small, the reason is that the environment of Nicole makes the survival rate of piglets and lambs is not high, and cattle and horses are not at all.

However, Lao Zhu has already said that he will soon bring all kinds of livestock and livestock to Zixia Island, especially Limousin cattle and merino sheep, and now Lao Zhu's Saifu Island Ranch can provide a large number of lambs from these livestock.

In addition, Governor Lee Chun Ming has done a major job in his first few months in office – sending school-age children from all immigrant families on the island to school.

Zixia's first full-time, five-year primary school received strong support from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federal Education Commission – both for teachers and funding.

Not to mention the budgetary support, the Federal Ministry of Finance allocates funds entirely according to the standards of bamboo gardens and sunflowers, and only a little more.

Principal Xia Xiaoou and the ladies of the Board of Education also sent six teachers to "Zixia Public School" - this is the name of the school given by Governor Li, and sent six teachers for the first time, all of these teachers are boys, they are all orphans who graduated from Zhuyuan Public School, these orphans are basically the first batch of thirteen or fourteen-year-old students who entered Zhuyuan Public School, and now, they are more than sixteen years old---- this is a loosening of the working age of minors by the Education Commission, but at present, it is only for male students and only for teaching positions, The rest of the relationship still adheres to the red line of the eighteen-year-old, and the girl has not yet let go.

Xia Xiaoou and the others withstood the pressure of VIPs from major companies, and forced these students to poach and send them to Zixia Island, which shows that Mr. Li has a very good relationship with the people in the education commission system.

Although teachers are also needed on Wanshan Island and Sin'an City, the director of the Education Committee, Du Na Anyi and Principal Xia, both emphasized that the Education Committee can only meet the needs of the key area - that is, Zixia Island, after all, it is our most populous overseas territory.

And for Principal Xia's behavior and statements, everyone completely ignored the problem that Xia Xiaoou was a little biased towards her husband at work.

Zixia Public School is located next to the Governor's Mansion in Zixia Town, the campus is huge, the area is equivalent to the sum of bamboo garden and sunflowers, and the facilities on the campus are also built with reference to bamboo gardens and sunflowers, including playgrounds, reinforced concrete brick and concrete three-story buildings, etc.

The school was finally built at the end of November 1659, and in addition to the more than 200 children who had been recruited during his tenure as governor, Li Junming expanded the enrollment of the school before and after the completion of the school—Zixia Public School was built according to the scale of 5,000 students.

The school implements full-time closed management, students only let the children go home on Saturday afternoon after entering the school, and must return to school on Sunday afternoon, and the students are free of charge in the school, as well as free stationery and school uniforms.

However, from enrollment to admission, to teaching, to put the school on the right track, a series of turmoil occurred during this period, which made Governor Li a little anxious.

First of all, the enrollment is not smooth.

If Governor Li hadn't led the village chief, the squire, the village elders, and the land assessors to inform the farmers from door to door—if you don't let your children go to school, it will affect your family's land distribution, and even deprive your family of the right to support your children, and pass them on to other households!

If it weren't for Ren Ke taking the soldiers to the homes of those stubborn peasant families and telling the head of the family, "If your school-age children don't go to school, we will confiscate your land and send you back to the Qing Dynasty—yes! It's your home! What the? You say you're a girl? Less nonsense! Girls have to go to school, too, to understand no! Our Australian Commonwealth pays attention to equality between men and women!

Without all the above-mentioned coaxing persuasion, it would have been almost impossible for most peasant families to obediently send their children to school.

The reason is very simple, in the eyes of the parents of the farmers, there is no essential difference between the children and their own property, as the head of the family of the farmers of the Celestial Empire, they have always thought that - they only need to have more children, and when the children grow up, they can work for me to create wealth, and when they are old, they can enjoy Qingfu - although there are very few people who really enjoy Qingfu in reality, but at least from the legal point of view, it is tenable, and the key is that the government has also maintained this legal relationship for you for thousands of years.

However, farmers find that Australians don't think so---- Australians, whether you want to or not, force you to leave your family and go to school for children who can already work, even if it's light work, and this is a school for several years, not before the age of 18! Oh, my God! Eighteen years old? Eighteen-year-olds can split up and start a business, okay?! It's probably been a few years since you had grandchildren, okay?!

Although parents don't need to pay a penny or a penny to send their children to school, once these children are not around, they will definitely not be able to serve and help the family.

Especially now, when the family is busy clearing land, and for farmers who are trying to get more land for themselves, losing half of their labor force is a major loss for the family.

Of course, under the coercion of the Australians, the farmers who should send the children out have to send them out, otherwise, the parents will know from the faces of the Australian officials that if they don't send their children to school honestly, the loss will be even greater.

As the number of immigrants on the island increases, by the end of Operation Changfeng in the early spring of last year, Zixia School has enrolled more than 5,000 children between the ages of six and 12, accounting for more than 5 percent of the island's 90,000 immigrants – covering all families with school-age children and teenagers.

Obviously, this is a very hard-won achievement.

However, Li Junming also had to make some major concessions in the process: he reduced the original "school age" of 6 to 16 years old to 6 to 12 years old, otherwise the matter of sending children to school could cause fire and smoke in every village.

In this day and age, it is true that there are no families that send teenagers over the age of 12 to school, both men and women.

Because in the eyes of parents - including these teenagers themselves---- when they are twelve years old, well, in fact, most people think that once they are over ten years old, they are already adults, they can already drag plows and herd cattle and threshing grass, and they are the full labor force of the family.

After all, there is no concept of "puberty" in the concept of Han immigrants, as long as boys and girls have gender characteristics, especially after girls have menstruation, the family is considered to be an adult - from then on, he or she is not only a full laborer, but also begins to talk about marriage, so the Han immigrants do not accept the Governor's statement that men and women under the age of eighteen belong to "minors." "The concept that you should all go to school.
