In fact, later, many tenants did not take care of the land in the end, and most of these tenants became "second landlords" in the end, because there were more lucrative livelihoods waiting for these people on the island, such as working in factories or going to sea to run short-distance trading, etc., and later, some families became wealthy maritime merchants because of their proper management, and the identity of these people was no longer tenant tenants, and they were no longer anyone's slaves.

The quiet change in the fate of the tenants and slaves began on the day the Pride arrived at the East Beach Pier---- on this day, the Pride brought industrial equipment to Xiaowanshan Island that changed people's lives.

The Pride departed from the Red Pier on October 2 and arrived at the South Pier of Macau Harbour at noon on the 22nd of October after a 20-day voyage.

On the day of docking, the Pride quickly unloaded all its trade goods.

This time Pride brought 18,000 pieces of glassware, 7,000 pieces of Australian cotton calico, 4,000 horses of plain linen, and a full 150 tons of sugar.

In addition, the ship also brought Xianrendong milk wine, sweet potato wine, which are widely popular in the market, and a new product that Lao Wang has just recently made - 500 jars of sweet rum made with bagasse as the main raw material.

This year, Lao Wang's agricultural and sideline undertakings have made great progress, because the labor force is relatively sufficient, in the first half of the year, Mornington Island newly opened up nearly 1,000 acres of wasteland, in addition to most of these plots for planting grain and various cash crops, but also planted several kinds of fast-growing strawberries, blueberries and other grass berries, and worship God to take care of, this year is still quite smooth, the original planting of nearly 1,000 acres of sugarcane fields has obtained a bumper harvest, after the sugar factory squeezed sugar, a total of nearly 300 tons of white sugar was produced.

Next, Lao Wang mixed sweet potatoes, strawberries and other berries with the bagasse left after sugar extraction, and actually succeeded in brewing a low-degree sweet wine, on this basis, Lao Wang blended it with a high number of sweet potato wine, and finally got a medium-degree rum with fruit sweetness, and Lao Wang gave a very catchy name---- Bacale.

This is a kind of sweet liquor newly produced by Lao Wang after the rice sweet potato wine and Xianrendong milk wine, which tastes sweet and cold in the mouth, lingering in the throat, in short, after tasting by the hedonistic group of the vegetable garden club, it has received countless praises.

This greatly increased Lao Wang's confidence, after all, the taste of the traveler is much more delicate than that of people in this era, and since this kind of wine can be praised by everyone, then it should usually have a high market popularity.

Due to the refreshing and unique taste of this sweet rum and the easy availability of raw materials for brewing, Lao Wang decided to focus on expanding the production of sweet potato wine and this sweet rum in the future, which he believes are very suitable for mass production on a large scale.

As for the original Xianrendong milk wine, it is not delicious, but because the brewing process is relatively complex, it is more time-consuming and laborious, and the requirements for raw materials such as fruits are also relatively harsh, so it is difficult to expand the output rapidly for a while, so Lao Wang intends to let the Xianrendong milk wine take the high-end route of high-quality products, so it is only maintaining a relatively low output at present.

Obviously, the fairy cave milk wine in transparent glass bottles will be sold very, very expensive, this time the pride only brought a pound of 200 bottles of fairy cave milk wine, the outer packaging of this wine is also very good, there is a gold silk nan wood box inlaid with brass strips, lined with red silk interlining, after opening the box, you can see that the light amber milk wine is contained in a crystal clear glass bottle, the brass cap (later even the cork is also glass), the cork is padded, in short, it looks very luxurious and high-end.

Obviously, this kind of wine is the most popular among the four Chinese businessmen, and it is a weapon to get the relationship between the mainland palace and the officialdom, even if it is twenty taels of silver and a bottle, the four are also rushing to ask for it, and finally the four Chinese businessmen each divided fifty bottles and left, as for how much they cost a bottle for takeaway, according to the Dai Shen Doctor later revealed, the unit price should be multiplied by at least five ......

In short, for liquor, the port of Macao, facing the mainland and Southeast Asian markets, has a very strong circulation and transit capacity, so these wines from Australia, including sweet rum, are all accepted by Portuguese and Chinese businessmen as soon as they are moved to the wharf.

Throughout the day, the Portuguese merchants and various means of transport who came to pick up and deliver goods on the wharf came and went, and the various goods on the Pride were quickly accepted and transported, and the goods that were too late to be transported were also temporarily piled up on the dock square.

Some of the purchased goods prepared in advance also arrived quickly, and for a time the wharf was full of traffic and became extremely busy, and the loading and unloading operations were not completed until sunset.

However, in order to seize the time for loading and unloading, the Pride after dark did not mean to stop the loading and unloading operations, and Li Sanduo asked the crew to turn on the searchlights to provide lighting for the loading and unloading operations in the dock square.

However, this casual action caused a big buzz in Macau City.

Because this was the first night loading and unloading operation of the Pride after several trips to and from the Port of Macau, it was also the first time that the Pride had turned on the high-powered searchlight in the Port of Macau.

In an instant, the dazzling searchlights illuminated the small pier square at night as bright as day, and as a result, this scene immediately attracted thousands of onlookers from Macao citizens.

It's just that most of the people, out of caution against unfamiliar things, did not go directly to the pier square to watch closely, but gathered halfway up the Guia Hill and Fortress Hill or stood on the city wall to look at the south pier.

On this night in Macau, from the Governor of Bugano, the mayor and the members of the city council to the peddlers and pawns in the city, all of them watched this "spectacle" that they had never seen in their lives with great interest and amazement.

Later, even the children in the orphanage ran to the dock square under the leadership of the grandmothers to watch the excitement.

Among those who watched the "spectacle" up close, in addition to the mothers and the children of the orphanage, who were confident that God had blessed them, there were also a few brave citizens, as well as merchants and porters who received the goods.

It's just that the first two groups come to watch because curiosity overcomes fear, while the latter are forced to stay in the dock square purely because of their livelihood, and they can't leave because they are afraid.

After all, under the dark night sky, under this dazzling searchlight, looking at the ground and goods as bright as day under your feet, it is indeed quite a psychological shock for ordinary people in this era.

Especially at the beginning, when night had just fallen, the Pride's searchlights were turned on, and the originally somewhat dark square suddenly became as bright as day.

This sudden change frightened many unprepared people on the spot, some simply fell to the ground, and only after a while did they get up tremblingly and stand up in a daze, and a few people thought that they had really encountered a miracle, so they quickly knelt down and prayed and kowtowed.

Especially the porters, apparently forced to stay close to the searchlights because of the needs of the carrying work, but most of them are villagers from the mainland, with very limited knowledge and quite superstition, and the dazzling pillars of light sweep around them from time to time, like the feeling of being swept by the eyes of the legendary dragon.

However, this panic soon passed, probably infected by the self-satisfied look of the Australian crew on board, and people finally gradually resumed their normal work, and in the end they were all about to do what they had to do.

As for whether these people are still playing drums in their hearts, it is unknown, anyway, everyone who worked at that time was trembling, and did not dare to speak loudly, much more silent than usual, referring to burying their heads in work, and no one made some jokes about meat and vegetables when they worked......
