In addition to some of the above-mentioned bulk goods, there are also some mysterious goods that are not visible from the appearance of the packaging, which are basically provided by Portuguese merchants, such as some burlap bags that are tightly bundled, wooden crates that are tightly covered, and large and small clay pots painted with various strange symbols on the outer walls.

Only the connoisseur knows that these are precious hardwoods, Western firearms, and various medicinal herbs, including cinchona, as well as native products of the southern continent and Indochina such as olive oil, whale oil, fish gelatin, rosin, and eucalyptus essential oil.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of sulfur blocks, saltpeter concentrates, cinnabar and mercury, and there are also goods that outsiders cannot name, most of which are not produced locally, but come from the depths of the jungles of Annam, the islands of the east and south, and even the Indian subcontinent thousands of miles away......

At the same time as the business on the dock was in full swing on the docks, the working group led by Sun Lao, who had a detailed and in-depth exchange with the Rectors of Notre-Dame de Antres and the priests of St. Paul's Church.

In addition, Sun Lao and the others also visited the Governor's Mansion and the City Council in full swing, and once again hosted a banquet on the Pride and other four families of the Ao family, obviously the content of the exchange between the two sides is not only the current business and future trade issues, Sun Lao and the four family members also seriously discussed the situation in the interior and the coastal areas around Macao, and consciously learned about the situation of the displaced people in various places.

Recently, there are a large number of written contracts written by Mr. Li Junming, and the heads of the four major Chinese businessmen have unanimously sighed at the rigor and thoughtfulness of the contracts drafted by Mr. Li, and they all praised Mr. Li's business talents except for the missing arms and legs of Chinese characters.

When several family members talked about this Mr. Li, they all admired his talent, but they heard Li Junming say that this financial and accounting talent, his own lady is an expert, and he only knows a little about the skin, and the listeners are very surprised, and they all sighed that this Australian is really a talented person.

Then they learned that Li Jun was thirty years old next year and did not have a concubine, so they were puzzled, and hinted that if they did not give up, they would send two maids to Mr. Li as a meeting gift.

When Li Junming smiled and said that the lady in the family was a beautiful lady and a roaring lion in Hedong, several masters smiled indifferently and said, it doesn't matter, the lady of the Li family is a talented woman, and she should also know the way of women, abide by the great ethics of the couple, how can you be jealous of Mr. Concubine? and immediately said that if Mr. Li is willing, it is not impossible to build an annex in this Haojing City or Xiangshan County......

Of course, at the end of the day, these are just the kind of episodes that don't follow.

On the sixth day, the negotiations between Ann and Sophia of Notre Dame Cathedral finally came to fruition, starting with a visit to the Pride by Principal Ingres and Secretary Sophia, and after a morning of talks, Ingres signed an agreement with Grandchild Sun in the crew dining room of the Pride on behalf of the Notre Dame Snow Chapel and the Church of Charity Orphanage.

In the agreement, the Australians promised to fully fund the charity of the orphanage, and donated 10,000 taels of silver to the orphanage every year for the operation of the orphanage, and strive to double the size of the orphanage within the year.

Immediately afterwards, Ingres, as a city councillor, announced at the regular meeting of the city council the next day that Notre Dame would set up a sailing school fully funded by Australians, and the students of the school were children over the age of 13 in the orphanage, and of course, teenagers in and out of Macau were also recruited, and these children would be hired by Australian ships first after their studies.

At the same time, Ingres also announced that Australians will fund the orphanage to set up a special church literacy school, this school is full-time, in addition to children from poor families, the source of students is mainly orphanage children, especially children over five years old in the orphanage, the duration of education is three years, after the completion of the study will be given priority to enter the nautical school, and then by the Australian trading company priority hiring.

Obviously, this is one of the public measures taken by Sun Lao and his family in order to be able to adopt those orphans in a legitimate manner, and to the extent that people can accept them psychologically normally, running schools to train sailors is the most high-sounding reason for adopting underage children in institutions other than the church.

Obviously, these recruitment and training arrangements are only a short-term transition, and the children will eventually enter the Australian's own bamboo garden or sunflower public school to study, about this situation, only Ingres Mama has been truthfully informed by Sun Lao, Mama said that as long as she can save more lives and save these poor children, there is no objection to this arrangement.

Immediately afterwards, a notice was posted on the streets of Macao, demanding that all widows and orphan families who had previously received monthly subsidies from the Holy House of Mercy could voluntarily accept a miscellaneous job in a church school or a nautical school, and the allowance was also very good.

The news spread quickly, because there were more than 800 people in Macau who were subsidized by the Holy House of Mercy, and sure enough, within a few days, many people had already asked Ingres about the matter and wanted to participate in the interview.

The project for these two schools was the result of discussions at the plenary meeting of the left-behind people on Mornington Island.

At that time, Nicole and the Red Mansion discussed back and forth with telegrams many times, and many people still had doubts about this school plan, saying that it was too high-profile.

But the Red Mansion believes that although the family agrees with Hou Xianglin's "low-key" view, they have different opinions on how to "low-key".

The discussion on the side of the Red Mansion was that it was better to do it openly and in a legitimate name than to do it in a proper name by doing it secretly. Although the essence of being a human trafficker is the same, whether secretly or openly, doing it openly in the name of schools and training and employment can be more effective in covering up a basic fact, or it can temporarily cover up one of our fatal weaknesses - Australia's lack of population.

Of course, this is only a cover of limited effect, because if some people ask why Australians are so interested in these children, is it just for the glory of God and charity?

Of course, if Ingres answers like this, everyone will still believe it, but the "magical" Australians are also so enthusiastic, then there will be a question mark.

Well, what if we are suspected of lacking labor? Let's think about it the other way around, if we do it secretly and then someone finds out and suspects, which is more harmful?

It's clearly the latter.

So, let's build a school, do it openly, and the people of Macao will eventually turn a blind eye, and our public reason is also very "big truth" - children are cheap and obedient!

Yes, we're all telling the truth, what else can anyone else say? In this day and age, there is no law for the protection of minors, and it is not only legal and commonplace to use child labor and apprenticeship people from childhood, but in most cases, it will also be considered a charitable act, especially if you are using an orphan, which is simply a natural thing.

In a word, this is a "hidden from the world" plan.

The telegram exchange from afternoon to evening was hotly debated, and in the end it was the school faction that was finally approved, and later everyone recalled this past, and said that no one thought that this practice at that time inadvertently formed a pattern of ---- of immigrants from all over the world to Australia, and this kind of school was even opened in India, Europe and the Americas, of course, this is a later story......
