"Your Majesty, we trade with Borneo, Java, Luzon and Vietnam, and there are many Chinese people in those places where it is very difficult to live! If the kingdom could shelter them, they would be willing to come to the kingdom. After we go back, we will actively contact the local Chinese and invite them to come to Xinhuaguo! Samboanga City Mayor Lin Zifeng said.

"Excellent! When the major families were trading, they could attract as many Chinese as possible to come to Xinhuaguo. Tell them that as long as they come to the new country, their safety will be guaranteed, and the army of the kingdom will guarantee their safety. In addition, the government of the kingdom will provide them with land, food and seeds free of charge to help them survive! Long Yufei said. Xinhua now lacks nothing, what is lacking is people. The total population of Xinhua is only more than 80,000 people, and if you want to dominate Nanyang, this number of people alone is absolutely not enough. Of course, as for those indigenous slaves, whether they were Long Yufei or the people of Xinhua Kingdom, they never regarded them as human beings, but only as livestock! Mindanao has vast land to cultivate, and as long as the Chinese come to Mindanao, Long Yufei can ensure that they can live a good life.

"Yes, Your Majesty! We'll do our best! Lin Zifeng hurriedly replied. The interests of the major families and Xinhua have been tied together. They are also willing to see Xinhua become stronger.

"For the credit of the major families, I will take note. When the kingdom is strong, I will repay you! Long Yufei said. These families have funds and talents, and if Xinhua wants to develop and grow, there are still many places to rely on them. Long Yufei is very happy to see that both sides can achieve a win-win situation! The presupposed, of course, is that these families do not endanger his rule.

"Your Majesty! These are the things we should do! Lin Zifeng and the others were overjoyed, they knew that this was a promise from Long Yufei. The so-called Jun has no jokes, since Long Yufei said it in front of everyone, he will definitely keep his promise. As long as Xinhua becomes strong, then they will be able to benefit.

"Minister Lin, from now on, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also needs to attract Chinese from other places to Xinhua as the most important task. Both the Government Council and the military will fully cooperate with you! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do its best! Foreign Minister Lin Zihao assured. He knew that this was the first task assigned to him by Long Yufei. Although he is now one of the high-level government leaders of Xinhua Kingdom, he cannot compare with others in terms of qualifications or political achievements, and this is the first test for him. If he can do a good job, then he can really stand on his feet. In this matter, Zamboanga's Lin family and other families will definitely do their best to help him. Lin Zihao will become an important representative of the Lin family and even the Chinese family in Zamboanga on the government side!

"Hmmm! I believe that if we work together, we will be able to accomplish the task! Long Yufei is also full of confidence in the future of Xinhuaguo!

"In addition to this work, the Council needs to expand its investment in education! All children over the age of six, both boys and girls, need to attend government-run schools! Attaching importance to education will become the national policy of Xinhuaguo! Long Yufei said. There are too many such examples from later generations, whether it is Germany or Japan, their rapid rise and emphasis on education are inextricably linked. In the current Xinhua country, the vast majority of people are illiterate, and there is almost no possibility of building a strong country with such citizens. Only by developing education and enabling the younger generation to become literate people can there be hope for the future of the country.

Premier Li Decheng frowned: "Your Majesty, there are many school-age children over the age of 6 in China. If all of them were to be sent to schools, the government would have to invest a lot of money. With our current financial resources, it is difficult to support! In addition, we don't have enough teachers, so even if we gather all the children, it's useless! ”

"I know it's very difficult, but even if it's difficult, we have to do it, and the future of the empire is at stake! In terms of funding, I'll figure it out. As for the number of teachers, we can go and ask for it! Knowledgeable Chinese people in the entire Nanyang region can be invited to teach! In addition, I will personally participate in the compilation of textbooks! Long Yufei said. With his knowledge of both doctors, there is no problem in compiling textbooks for primary and secondary schools.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Government Council will do its best! Li Decheng also felt that Long Yufei attached great importance to this aspect.

"Three years! In three years' time, I want to see all the school-age children go into school! Long Yufei was not satisfied with Li Decheng's answer, and directly gave the most reluctant deadline.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Li Decheng saw Long Yufei's resoluteness, he had no choice but to agree.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to education, which is the blessing of all our Chinese! As a big family among the Nanyang Chinese, the Lin family has always been unwilling to be left behind for this kind of kindness! The Lin family is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to the government to build a school! Lin Zifeng hurriedly said.

The other families were not far behind, and by the time they all finished speaking, the donation had already reached 50,000 taels of silver. Although this is a drop in the bucket compared to the funds required for Long Yufei's education plan to be completed, it is at least a good start. As long as the Chinese can unite, even if there is a big difficulty, they can be serviced!

Xinhua does not yet have its own currency, and when it trades with foreign countries, it almost always uses hard currencies such as gold and silver, as well as Western currencies such as the pound and the Spanish peso. In the beginning, it won't make a difference. But with the formation of the state, it was already imperative to issue its own currency. Long Yufei planned to establish the central bank of Xinhua in the next few months, and then discover the national currency.

After the founding of the new country, this new country began to develop at a faster pace. From the king to every subject, everyone devoted themselves to the construction with full enthusiasm. A large amount of fertile land has been reclaimed, and factories have supprung up. The Xinhua Army is also strengthening the elimination of the natives, one after another the indigenous tribes were exterminated, and a large number of slaves were captured, ensuring the rapid development of the Xinhua Kingdom.

After the founding of the country, the first thing Long Yufei did was to compile the primary and secondary school textbooks of Xinhuaguo. In Long Yufei's vision, children start school at the age of 6, attend primary school for a total of five years, and graduate at the age of 11. After that, five years of secondary school. I was 16 years old when I graduated. At this time, you can already participate in the work, and for some particularly outstanding talents, you can send them to Europe to study. With the ability of Xinhuaguo, if you want to build your own university, I am afraid it will take a long time to accumulate it.

It took Long Yufei a month to compile the primary school textbook. Primary school students are required to study four subjects, namely Chinese, Mathematics, Nature and Social Studies. Most of these contents were compiled by Long Yufei based on the knowledge he came into contact with in later generations, and in this era, it was definitely ahead of its time. Long Yufei also doesn't want the people he cultivates to be the kind of rotten Confucians who can only talk and have no practical use!

The textbook compiled by Long Yufei was greatly praised by the officials of the Government Council. Premier Li Decheng immediately announced that it would be implemented in all schools in Xinhua China! Seeing the fruits of his labor being accepted, although he was very tired, Long Yufei was also very pleased!

Education is the foundation of a country's development, and only by attaching importance to education can a country prosper for a long time. Long Yufei hopes to establish a country that can survive for a long time, and it will continue to exist as a top power in the world. This requires that Xinhua must implement education as a basic national policy! Although in this regard, the investment will be very large, and it will also cause a lot of opposition. After all, if these funds are invested in industry and armaments, they can make Xinhua more powerful. However, this is only temporary. Without the support of enough talent, everything will become a castle in the air.

After the compilation of primary school textbooks, Long Yufei reiterated his views on this aspect at a pre-imperial meeting! Under his strong promotion, the Government Council will attach importance to education as a basic national policy to promote!

In late September 1836, the Xinhua Bank was established, which not only carried out deposits and loans, but also was responsible for the issuance of the Chinese dollar, the currency of the new Chinese country. Long Yufei personally owns 51 percent of the shares in the bank. The government of Xinhua holds 20 percent of the shares. The remaining 29 percent of the shares were taken by the Chinese families of Zamboanga. The total share capital of Xinhua Bank is also as high as 1 million Chinese yuan.

Hua Yuan is the local currency of Xinhua Kingdom, minted in the ratio of silver and nine bronze to one, the image on the front is the head of Long Yufei, and the back is a soaring dragon. Therefore, Huayuan is also known as the dragon head. Each piece weighs 37.3 grams, which is the same as the value of one tael of silver. The exchange ratio with the pound sterling is four to one! That is, four Chinese dollars is equal to one pound sterling. In addition, Xinhua Bank has also introduced a slightly smaller currency as a secondary currency, which is divided into dime and cent. Diagonal and cent coins, which are mainly made from a mixture of copper and other metals. The ratio to Hua Yuan is one Hua Yuan, which is equal to ten jiao, and is equal to one hundred points.

Under the forcible promotion of the Xinhua government, the entire Xinhua began to use the Chinese dollar as the currency in circulation, but when trading with foreign countries, it also needed to use hard currencies such as pounds sterling or gold and silver. But as the strength of Xinhua Kingdom becomes stronger and stronger, Huayuan will eventually flow to the South Seas and even the entire world!
