Chapter 270: Advisors
Zheng Shuming was inspired to revitalize the career of the old Zheng family, and the Australians said that the olive branch handed over to him could be said to have brought him hope, and at the same time, it also brought him the opportunity to enter the upper class of Australian society.
After thinking about it for about a few minutes, Comrade Lao Zheng agreed to the invitation, and thanks to Lao Zheng's erudition and talent, he could understand what this consultant meant, just like the master and staff around the county master, who gave the master ideas, but his own adviser was much higher than them.
Comrade Lao Zheng likes Australians more and more now, which is said to be fraternal, this is different, it is foreseeable that as long as he serves as a consultant, no matter whether it is the Portuguese or the Dutch, he will come over and nod his head or something.
"Mr. Zheng, we will prepare the formal letter of appointment for you within three days, as well as your salary, that is, Yu Lu, we will set you a salary of 30 silver dollars per month, if you think it is low, we can also negotiate."
Discuss, discuss, Zheng Shuming is already happy at this time, although the Zheng family is a little declining compared to the early years, but after all, it is still a big family, and a day's money is nothing to them.
It is my own glory to do things for the court, where is there any reason to ask for money, Zheng Shuming waved and said generously: "How dare you ask for remuneration for serving the country, how can there be objections." ”
"Mr. Zheng is really a cheerful person, but this salary is what you deserve, after all, it will take up a lot of your personal time in the future, so please don't refuse Mr. Zheng."
Seeing Zhao Shijie's insistence, Zheng Shuming nodded and agreed, and the conversation between the two sides lasted for nearly two hours.
When Zhao Shijie and Zhang Hao said goodbye, Zheng Shuming's face was obviously a little unfinished, he had forgotten that once upon a time he could find someone like Zhao Shijie who could talk to him about what he was reading.
Zhao Shijie's talent and knowledge made him admire, and at the same time, everything in Australia also made him yearn for it, and when he heard the other party tell that Australian ships can travel without sails and oars, he wanted to go to the dock to see the giant ship.
"Sir. Sir, you really agreed to be a consultant. After Zhao Shijie left, Mrs. Zheng asked with some concern, after all, intersecting with these Australians is equivalent to seeking skin with tigers in his opinion. It is also very dangerous, and it is very likely that there will be no place to die if it is not good.
"Zhiru, don't worry, I think Australians are different from red hair, and it's not easy for me to refuse the other party's sincere invitation."
"You. You, it's the heart of the name of the mind is doing tricks, but these Australians are indeed polite, generous, more than one person high mirrors just gave us directly, but I heard that a small piece of mirror costs tens of thousands of silver dollars. ”
Women, whether rich or poor, are always moved by some small favors, and the same is true for Mrs. Zheng.
Early the next morning, the new governor of Malacca, Zhang Hao, officially took over the power. Because Zhao Shijie said that the handover matter has been basically handled, as for the affairs of Anmin, he will do it with the newly appointed governor.
After three days of relaxation, the citizens of Malacca had to go out to buy or sell for various reasons, but in short, there were a lot more pedestrians on the streets.
About nine o'clock in the morning, a special carriage came out of the Doge's Palace, which was markedly different from the four-wheeled carriage in which the Governor was riding, with a horn hanging around his carriage and a hand-cranked generator and a set of broadcasting equipment.
This set of equipment can be said to be the latest mobile radio amplifier produced in Australia, suitable for use in some remote villages. This time it was brought for promotional purposes. Because Malacca did not have a base tower, it could not receive Australian broadcasts, but according to the current conditions, even if it was built, it was estimated that it would not be able to receive it due to the distance.
Just when the citizens on the street were curious about this strange carriage, suddenly there was a screeching sound from the four horns of the carriage. Then a sound came from the four horns of the carriage.
"Dear Malacca citizens, I am the Governor of Malacca Overseas of the Republic of Australia, Xiao Yang, the broadcaster of the Publicity Office, and the content I want to bring to you today is basically that the original laws of the Governor of Malacca will be screened, and at the same time, as long as the residents who apply for the Australian Overseas Resident ID Card. You will be free to travel to live in Australia, which is a more beautiful and magical place than Malacca. ”
This news is not a big news in Malacca, if it is placed in Batavia, it will definitely make the Dutch crazy, and they have been trying to find the Dutch who are in Australia, and they have spent a lot of money to find out the specific location of Australia.
Now that Australians have announced here that they can freely enter Australia, then for the Netherlands, as long as they send some intelligence officers to obtain Malacca's resident ID card, they can go directly to Australia.
But at this time in Malacca City, the residents do not seem to be much interested in this place in Australia, and their most emotional interest is probably the carriage in front of them that can make sounds, for the citizens of Malacca who have never seen the radio, the carriage in front of them can be said to bring them in addition to curiosity is the thinking of Australians.
What is the difference between these Australia and the Netherlands, although they were shot in the street a few times at the beginning, but there are not too many requirements for ordinary people and businesses, which is also one of the things that everyone should be thankful for.
The horse-drawn carriage walked slowly back and forth on several streets in Malacca, and the words of the new policies of the Governor of Malacca, Australia, and future plans were constantly played.
In the afternoon, the Chinese leader Zheng Shuming also began his first work as an adviser, visiting several other Chinese families in the city, all of whom were local Chinese families, and the purpose of visiting them was to hope that everyone would come out together to support the work of the new governor and lead the local Chinese to unite around the Australians, after all, they are all of the same race.
"Brother Cheng, I hope that your Chen family will support my work in the future, I have recommended you to the Governor to join the work of the Governor, with Brother Chen's talent, I think it is none other than you to serve as the head of the Civil Affairs Section of the Governor's Palace, and Brother Cheng knows a lot about the civil affairs of Malacca, I think it must be you."
Zheng Shuming said that the other Chinese family invited was Chen Youcheng, who had done a period of Malacca civil affairs statistics during the Portuguese rule, so he also had a certain reason in saying this, in order to adapt to the work of Malacca more quickly, the Australian government did not send many officials from the mainland, so Zhang Hao was ready to take advantage of the lack of manpower to recruit a group of local famous people to join the government department, which is also conducive to ruling the local area.
Judging from the situation of Zheng Shuming and Chen Youcai, this decision is quite correct, because when Zheng Shuming said the word recommendation, Chen Youcai's face obviously showed a trace of essence. (To be continued.) )
