However, Lefick also recorded a similar incident in his journal:

“…… On the morning of the fourth day, sure enough, a team disappeared on the other side of the Xin'an River, but in the evening they came back by themselves, and their team leader led a group of people back to the dock on the other side of the river and shouted for help to the other side......

On the morning of the fifth day of the blacks' entry into the naturalization camps, the Australians announced a "bill," and I realized that this was the first time in my life that I had heard of a legal document on the emancipation of black slaves.

On this morning, instead of waiting in line at the small wharf on the riverbank for the ferry boat, as usual, the blacks gathered in the small square in the camp after breakfast, and even the people who were locked up in the little black house were temporarily released, and the Governor of Australia stood on the wooden platform and read aloud a document, and several translators, including myself, were asked to translate it word by word......"

The logbook did not go on at this point, but according to Lefik's later recollections, he did very carefully translate the document, called the Federal Trade Labor Emancipation Act, and recorded it in the logbook.

He decided to take the documents with him, of course, for a reason – if the trafficked people knew about the bills, those people might be more likely to be convinced, and it was obviously a good help for his human trafficking business.

Of course, this is also the advice given to him by Mr. Sun, the "great commander" of the Australians.

According to the trafficker's recollection, Mr. Sun once said to him with a solemn face that it is better to obtain labor by "recruiting" rather than "capturing", because the side effects of this way will be minimized, and the recruited people will cooperate with you and work for you willingly, which is a win-win situation, isn't it?

The most important thing is that once you do this, you will make your trafficking costs much lower, and it will be a good start to your business as a "job agency" rather than a hated trafficker.

Although Lefik couldn't understand the new term "employment agency" at that time, he immediately found a key point from it, and he immediately said to Sun Lao unmistakably, probably only slaves who can be sold to you Australians can be obtained through "recruitment", because recruitment requires preconditions, after all, except for the use of violence, no one will want to be "recruited" as a slave for lifelong labor, so only the conditions offered by you Australians can get labor through "recruitment".

Then Lefik said to Sun Lao with a serious face, according to his many years of experience in this industry, although this kind of recruitment is feasible, but I am afraid that there will be some Arab infidels, fugitive slaves, and some frustrated people, debtors, bankrupt people and even criminals will be recruited by themselves, may I ask, if it is such a group of people, is the Australian Federation willing to want it?

So Lefiq got a memorable and surprising reply from Sun Lao:

"The Commonwealth of Australia will open its arms to all people in the world who yearn for freedom, and yes, even if this person is a criminal, the Commonwealth of Australia will give a person a chance to start a new life."

June 10, 1658, was a historic day in Lefick's writing, and it was on this day that the Federal Trade Labor Emancipation Act came into effect.

Through eight years of hard labor, in exchange for a new identity of freedom, the Australians also gave each person half a hectare of arable land or a hectare of pasture, in addition to the money and goods worth ten taels of silver called the settlement fee, when Lefik converted how much land is a hectare of Australians, he still couldn't believe it, and after repeatedly confirming with He Sizhi and Hu Sheng around him twice, he translated these data into the local language, and soon, there was finally a burst of head-to-ear voices in the black team, and then there was some kind of small commotion, but, This time there was no prohibition of the noisy whip falling on them and them.

Lefik noticed the eyes of the black people, some of them suddenly glowed, while others exuded a look of hope, and of course some of them looked confused because they did not understand, he knew that these black people came from different regions and tribes, and even if they knew some tribal native languages, they could not meet all the translation needs.

But in any case, at this very moment, Lefik finally vaguely realized that he might not be able to treat these black slaves as animals in the future, because he saw in the eyes of the black slaves a certain kind of brilliance, which is what a normal person should have, a certain kind of brilliance, a certain spirit, a soul......

When Hou Xianglin finished announcing this document of historical significance, He Sizhi and several other Chinese entourages immediately brought over a large stack of papers, and Lefik curiously went up to take a look at it, and found that it was actually written in Chinese, Portuguese, and Arabic, which was written in the content of the Governor's announcement just now, and also included various detailed clauses, such as how to shorten the period of hard labor if there was a meritorious service, etc., and of course, there were also clauses that would extend the period of hard labor if there was a serious violation of discipline.

These terms were very detailed, and after reading them carefully, Lefiq found that if a "trade laborer" had served in the army, he would have been free in as little as four years, and he would have money and land.

So Lefiq suddenly remembered what Mr. Sun had said to him a few days ago, and immediately found Mr. Sun and asked:

"Dear sir, if I brought you some people who volunteered to be soldiers, would you take them?"

Sun Lao's reply was:

"Anyone, including the trade workforce, must meet certain conditions to join the federal army, and normally, we have to conduct a character and physical fitness assessment of volunteers to finally determine whether a person can join the federal army."

However, Sun Lao also told him that if a person has military skills and is loyal to the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, he should pass the assessment, so you can rest assured that you can recruit these people, but you must make it clear to those applicants in advance that if they fail to pass the assessment, he or she can also voluntarily enter the naturalization camp to work, and through this way, he or she can also obtain citizenship, land and settling-in allowance in the future.

Sun Lao also stressed that once these people join the federal army, they will be treated the same as citizens of the Australian Federation in other aspects, and will not only be free, but also able to obtain the position of officer, and there is no upper limit on the level of the position - any position in the Federation is open to all citizens, and there is no hereditary and no distinction of status, which is one of the basic legal norms of the Australian Federation.

“…… This is probably the most touching thing I have ever seen in my life, and it is clear that quite a few blacks understood what the Governor had just announced, and they were cheering with them, and there were smiles on people's faces, and many of them couldn't help but dance in their own tribes, and people sang and danced, and communicated with each other in a language we didn't understand, but even if we couldn't understand what these people were saying, we could feel the joy in the crowd, and for the first time I really felt, The emotional world of these black slaves seems to be the same as ours, and we are all human ....."

That evening, when he returned to the cabin, Lefiq wrote the above passage in his logbook as he recalled the scene he had witnessed in the courtyard of the naturalization camp that morning, as he ended his diary for that day......
