422 points settled

After listening to Captain Gu's words, many people were silent for a long time, and some of them suddenly opened their minds and said one after another, in fact, it is right! After all, our products are unique and of excellent quality, if you dare to monopolize, I will dare to embargo, and if the price and quantity cannot be negotiated, we will embargo! See if you can find a replacement no!

That's right! If he wants to monopolize, he will monopolize it, the captain is right, it will not affect our business anyway......

So there was a burst of warm applause in the venue, and everyone said that ginger is really old and spicy, and the trade initiative is actually in our hands!

Because we are the source of trade, and the source that is unique in the New World.

In a word, we are the real monopolist!

Even if it is about business, you Sulu only have sales channels, but in the face of the source of monopoly, your so-called sales channels are still weak!

What's more, if we are really provoked, there will be cannons to speak! When the time comes, let's change someone who is willing to open up to be the king......

So, since the respected Captain Gu said so, everyone naturally had nothing more to say, and soon, the contract was quickly unanimously approved by the traversers of the Nicole.

Immediately afterwards, at this time, Xu Zhi formally submitted a written document at the meeting for discussion, and the name of this document was "Trade Labor Management and Compensation Proposal".

Xu Zhi explained that he had sent a telegram to the Red Mansion in his personal name for this document, and apparently the Pride had also received the telegram.

As Zhu Beiguo commented in his diary, this is the condition for a national's naturalization, and if the nationality is replaced by household registration, it is very similar to the rules of some metropolises in the old world.

However, the first thing everyone felt was that the reference to "trade labor" in the document was very novel.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Mansion, which received Xu Zhi's telegram, also quickly called back and said that everyone appreciated the mention of "trade labor", saying that there was no concept of race and nationality in this term, which meant that as long as it was labor, it could be settled in our Australian federal points - including people bought from human traffickers, stolen from pirates or smuggled over.

In a word, as long as you are a labor force, you can legally become a legal citizen of the Australian Commonwealth by settling down with points.

The message concludes with the words:

“…… In the future, the Commonwealth of Australia will be a land of freedom, a country of people all over the world who yearn for freedom and self-struggle. ”

From the style of this telegram from the beginning to the end of the telegram, everyone immediately judged that the writer of this telegram was deeply influenced by lawyer Li Junming, who is now known to everyone to be a libertarian, and I heard that he greatly admired an economist named Hayek in the old world.

However, now Lawyer Li is working as a sailor on the Nicole, so everyone immediately thought that this article should be written by Xia Xiaoou, and later facts have proved this, and soon after, this Xia Da beauty is about to make a big event, so I won't show it for the time being.

But this time, it was obviously Xia Xiaoou who thought too much, because these concepts did not attract everyone's attention, and they didn't even discuss it, and the focus of everyone's attention was on the specific terms of points naturalization.

Xu Zhi's suggestion is that after eight years of working in our factories and farms and pastures, and having no criminal record, you can obtain Australian federal citizenship, and at the same time give each person no less than 30 acres of arable land or 100 acres of grazing land.

Of course, in these eight years, we have been paid to work, and as for the salary level, Xu Zhi stressed that in order to implement the concept of fairness, the wage level should be completely determined by the market needs.

Speaking of this, Xu Zhi read out a passage from the telegram of the Red Mansion in public, which Mr. Zhao said in the reply call of the Red Mansion, and he asked everyone to tell the Han people on the ship that all those who come to work in my Lian Alkali Chemical Plant will not only have a high salary, but also food and shelter!

And as long as you have normal physical strength, even if it's a woman! And it's equal pay for equal work between men and women!

Well, the people on the Nicole already vaguely felt that the Red Mansion was already preparing for a robbery battle......

Xu Zhi's proposal was finally approved in principle by everyone, and everyone then added some detailed rules one after another.

For example, Ren Kewei and others strongly suggested that in the future, the federal army should also absorb "trade laborers" to join, and these "trade laborers" who serve in the army, in addition to receiving military salaries, are also treated the same as those with nationality in terms of promotion, and only need to serve for five years to obtain nationality and land.

There is also the suggestion of the ladies of the Red House - "All men and women under the age of fifteen in the trade labour force shall automatically acquire Commonwealth citizenship of Australia from the date of entry into the Australian Commonwealth, and shall be subject to compulsory admission to school for at least three years of compulsory education until the age of eighteen......"

As a result, the twelve underage Han Chinese children on the Nicole, Sylvie, and the Australian aboriginal children currently in the Red House will become the first people in the New World to obtain Australian federal citizenship.

The next thing we discussed was when the remaining Han Chinese in Sulu would be able to pick them up.

According to the explanation of the Sulu Kingdom, these Han people have fled into the deep mountains and forests, and it will take time and energy to capture them, and it is impossible to achieve them overnight.

Everyone was not stupid when they heard this, and they sneered and said that everyone knew what the so-called "escape" of these Han people was, but now these more than 400 people have tossed everyone enough, and they are all inclined to agree to the plan proposed by Sulu to repatriate in batches and phases.

In the end, Xu Zhi proposed that we should ask Sulu to provide us with an opportunity for mutual trade, listening to Zhu Beiguo and Xue Laixiang, there is a market on the east side of the dock square in Sulu, which is a place for those Sulu pirates to sell their stolen goods, and in fact, it is also another source of income for the magnates of Sulu.

We can go and have a look, especially if you want to buy a daughter-in-law, you should go and see it, but I want to make it clear to you, I asked Xue Laixiang about them, the women there are all picked by the magnates, and they are not expensive, and the price is from three or five taels of silver to more than ten taels of silver.

Anyway, referring to the historical data that Brother Zhu has given us before, in this era, even in the Ming Dynasty's human market, the cheaper one to buy a maid is four or five taels of silver, and the expensive one is probably multiplied by ten, and it costs forty or fifty taels of silver, so from the price level here, it is estimated that the goods are indeed not good.

So you have to be mentally prepared, when you buy a crooked melon and cracked date, there is no place to return it, and obviously, you have to feed her for the rest of your life......

However, Xu Zhi immediately comforted everyone and said, of course, everyone has their own good, maybe the aesthetics of the people in this Sulu country are different from ours, so it is difficult to say whether you can buy a beautiful girl......

Anyway, Xu Zhi's topic obviously touched everyone's point, everyone listened to it and made a fuss, and the discussion at the venue immediately entered the **, a group of young people were gearing up, looking eager to try, seeing that the order of the venue was a little messy, Xu Zhi saw this for fear that the meeting would be crooked again, so he quickly got up and shouted to everyone:

"Everyone! Everybody! Be quiet, please! Now is not the time to discuss girls! There are also important matters to be discussed below"

Saying that, Xu Zhi took out a stack of papers, shook it in his hand and said, we urgently need to purchase some materials now, before leaving, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Luo, they gave us a long purchase list, which has all kinds of everything, and now the Red House has sent a telegram, putting forward more procurement requirements, such as asking us to collect as many metal raw materials as possible, including pig iron, tin sand, copper ingots and lead ingots.

In addition, there are mercury sand, farm tools, cloth, and as much as possible to collect as many local specialties as possible, such as various dyes and tung oil......

Everyone nodded after hearing this, yes, in addition to the sister, material procurement seems to be an important thing......
