After a late autumn rain---- well, in fact, there is no typical autumn here, some are only in the slightly cooler dry season, after the last heavy rain, the dry season on Zixia Island is gradually coming.

At this time, the vegetable garden near the women's village is already full of life---- all kinds of vegetable seeds have already been sown in advance into the newly opened farmland, and begin to sprout and grow leaves, and the vegetables can be ripe, which is why the women want to plant vegetables first.

In addition, for experienced farmers, growing vegetables can also judge the soil fertility and soil acidity and alkalinity, which made Lao Wang, who later visited the Nuzhai planting area, greatly admired.

In addition to planting vegetables, breeding also quickly started, and the breeding areas in the women's village were concentrated together - this was not Ren Ke's suggestion to the women's village through Yang Qiaoqiao - but the tradition of the women's village! The aunts said that if the livestock were mixed with the family like ordinary farmers, it would be easy to develop epidemics.

Although Ren Ke believes that it is actually caused by the fact that women are naturally cleaner than men and do not like the smelly environment, he is still very impressed by the different rules of the women's village in terms of living habits.

Indeed, the self-combing women have accumulated a lot of experience in many years of production and life practice, and the separation of humans and animals is one of the experiences, which greatly alleviates Ren Ke's worries about the hygiene of the women's village.

In addition, the women also built their own rafts to catch seafood on the beach, and the fishing nets were brought by the women themselves, when Li Junming Ren Ke and they saw this scene, they said they were very ashamed, they guarded the coastline for so long, they actually did not think of using ready-made wood to build rafts to go to the beach to catch seafood......

Soon after, there was another income in the women's village - knitting and garment making.

This is the order for the processing of Aunt Du Na's "Singer Garment Co., Ltd." over there in the Red Mansion - "Singer" is an industrial project that Aunt Du Na successfully applied for in the "North Fund" a while ago.

It's just that the first order of this "Singer" actually did not give "Huasheng", but traveled thousands of miles to Zixia Island, apparently because of the special care of the ladies of the Red Mansion for the women's village---- the largest of which are the school uniforms of the students of Sunflower, Zhuyuan and Zixia School, in addition, the Tang costume and Hanfu of the "Singer" also produced design samples, which were brought to Macau by the Nicole, and are said to have caused a sensation in the market - it turns out that the women's hanfu, cheongsam and Tang costume that incorporate the popular design elements of old-world women's clothing are very much in line with the taste of the locals.

Of course, the "Qing people" in Macao who wore pigtails at the back of their heads did not dare to wear them, but this did not prevent these clothes from becoming popular in Nanyang, and later on, even the aborigines and Europeans in Nanyang liked such clothing.

For this reason, the aunts of the women's village formed an increasingly close trade partnership with the "Singers", and also earned a huge amount of processing fees - of course, this will be a matter for a later date.

On December 6, the Nicole tried to sail to the vicinity of the Xinqinzhou Wharf at the northern end of Zixia Island to explore the survey channel, because the deep-water wharf was still under construction, so it could not directly dock at the wharf, but with the help of Nicole's own lifeboat and the boat raft of the women's village, a lot of cargo was unloaded on the Xinqinzhou wharf, including penicillin and other drugs urgently needed by Zixia Island.

Nicole left Zixia Island immediately after unloading, and this time Nicole also had children from the Macau orphanage on board, so she didn't dare to delay for too long.

Nicole's next stop was Timor Island, where a hundred and twenty indigenous orphans and Indian orphans brought by human trafficker Lefiq were waiting to be boarded and sent to the sunflowers and bamboo orchards on Mornington Island.

Li Junming and the others began to get busy again, Nicole left a lot of supplies before leaving, food, clothing, and all these things had to be registered and distributed in time.

But if it were a simple registration and distribution by capitation, it would have been simple, but a telegram from the Federal Treasury complicated things a little by a telegram from the Ministry of Finance, which demanded that none of these supplies be free.

The distribution of supplies is subject to a new accounting method recently announced by the Ministry of Finance — a motion submitted by Zhu Beiguo and Li Junming to the president's office — which was finally discussed and passed in the federal Senate into a bill called the Federal Relief Act, so this motion is significant because it has since changed the immigration support policy of the Australian Commonwealth.

Specifically, it is a very commercial approach designed by Dr. Zhu Beiguo and lawyer Li Junming---- which was very commercial in the way that the travelers implemented in the past, and was quickly passed after discussion in the Senate.

The reason why this bill was passed smoothly was due to the fact that the "Operation Constant Wind" plan was very expensive and difficult to monitor, so that it could be implemented efficiently and efficiently, in the other words, how to spend the money where it should be spent most and thus avoid waste.

Because by the beginning of December, the Federal Ministry of Finance had issued a third tranche of government bonds---- totaling 400,000 taels of silver.

You must know that in this era, the annual income of the entire Qing Dynasty is only six or seven million taels of silver, and this common wind action actually costs more than five percent of the annual income of the Qing Dynasty - the so-called no comparison has no concept, when the members of the Senate listened to Yu He Wei to make a financial budget report for everyone, President Yu casually said this ratio, or was shocked, many people think, this money is not spent a little waste......

So the motion of Zhu and Li came into being - after all, one is a history professional, and the other is the most expensive person of Changfeng Action.

After receiving the motion of the two, everyone discussed and believed that the series of immigration assistance methods developed by Zhu and Li were "very commercially minded" and also in line with the "spirit of fair trade in commercial trade", of course----, this is the evaluation of later generations, in fact, in the eyes of the "chief designers" of the two initiators, these methods are nothing new at all - they are nothing more than a copy of the commercial loan agricultural project that was common in the old world - the content of the project is nothing more than to help immigrants start a business, relieve and encourage land reclamation, but what is given is a "loan" , although interest-free, at least literally, is interest-free, but many of the money lent is not cash in silver, but converted goods.

And the supply of goods must follow the principle of commerce, that is, someone must pay for it - it seems that simple, but of course, it is not easy to execute.

Because according to the original design of the reclamation model, whether it is land or production and living tools, all are distributed free of charge - obviously, there are many precedents in history for this practice, and the traversers originally wanted to do so.

However, the situation has changed a bit now - the scale of Operation Changfeng has been somewhat unexpected, from the initial 20,000 to 30,000 people to nearly 100,000 people, and the duration has also been extended from mid-July to December to before the Lunar New Year, in fact, the last ship of migrants to board the operation will be on the 20th day of the first month of the following year.

The consequence of this is that the financial budget of Operation Changfeng has increased greatly, Xia Xiaoou and Yu Hewei warned in early October that if Operation Changfeng continues on such a scale, there may not be year-end dividends this year, because the trade profits of major companies in the second half of the year may all be put into it, although the silver is borrowed by the Federal Ministry of Finance from the "North Fund" - of course, everyone knows that it is just putting their own silver from the left pocket into the right pocket, but if there is really no dividend at the end of the year, Everyone will still not be happy in their hearts.
