Australia's grain mainly relies on imports, except for a small number of vegetables and fruits that are locally produced, and other grains are basically imported from Batavia and Daming, and grain imports mean that the price of rice in Australia is higher than elsewhere.

In order to solve this problem, Li Mengshi raised the wages of workers several times, which ensured that the money of ordinary workers was basically enough.

But food prices have been high for a long time, which is not a good thing, and it is not conducive to the development of a country.

This issue has always attracted much attention, whether it is any one of the committee members, or the person in charge of other groups will attach great importance to the issue of grain imports, with the current population is not too big a ****, once the number of people exceeds 100,000 or 200,000 people, the import volume must also be increased, then it is necessary to ensure the safety of grain import routes.

The key lies in whether Europe had this capability at that time, and it is difficult to say, because the development of the navy will take a period of time, so in order to solve the current situation, the Executive Committee put forward a plan for reclaiming farmland, that is, mobilizing the masses to cultivate grain and vegetables in designated places in their spare time, which can be used for their own use and sold for money.

This method is supported by many people, after all, many workers only work five days a week, two days off, and there is a lot of time after work, even if they don't, the children and women at home can go to the vegetable field to fertilize and water.

At present, this plan has not been fully implemented, and the main problem is that it may have a certain impact on the state farms, but as soon as the report submitted by Zhang Wei and Liu Zhi came out, it was once again pushed to the forefront of this matter, and everyone once again heated about the matter of reclamation.

At present, the state farm has reclaimed nearly 2,000 acres of land for daily vegetable cultivation and the supply of melons and fruits, and if this matter is led by them, it should be much less difficult.

Liu Zhi's main report was on solving the problem of the separation of migrant couples and their families, causing depression and affecting production, and submitted a reclamation plan from the side, which coincided with the plan used by the members of the executive committee.

That's why it has been so valued, of course, in order to make this plan look more perfect, they also mentioned for the first time the plan of war preparedness grain storage, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or other countries at this stage, there will be a certain amount of reserves, the main role of these grains is used in the famine years or because of the lack of food supply in the war, to calm the instability caused by the rise in food prices.

From one point of view, it shows that grain is very important, Australia's current war reserves are basically zero, once caused by some external factors, it is difficult to solve the food problem at all, so we must increase the amount of grain imports as war reserves in the new round of plans, but also need to mobilize local forces to carry out local planting.

The entire Chang'an Town has a population of more than 3,000 people, each of whom performs his own duties and has his own job, and there are very few people who really participate in agricultural construction work, which is the fundamental reason for the large use of indigenous people in state farms.

In order to reduce the use of indigenous people, we must first have enough basic agricultural personnel, although these indigenous people are easy to use and do not cost money, but the productivity can not be compared with those immigrants of the Ming Dynasty, which can be affirmed.

The total number of the current agricultural population must be increased, and the number of people with professional agricultural experience must be increased in order to meet the possibility of reducing indigenous use and mass production of food.

Only by reclaiming more agricultural land and increasing grain production can it be possible to expand the reserve granary, and if it costs a lot to build a grain reserve granary entirely dependent on imported grain, this money can be completely saved and put into a meaningful solution to the problem of resettlement of the families of immigrants.

These questions may seem unrelated, but when they are connected, you will find that in fact, the relationship between them can be said to be closely related, that is, the relationship between the circulars.

Therefore, Liu Zhi and Zhang Wei showed their faces in front of the members of the Executive Committee this time, and they coincided with the plan proposed by the Executive Committee, which could be quite big for the future development of the two of them.

For example, the second town was established, Xinluo Town, the main development plan of this town was agriculture, and it was striving to develop into an important grain town in Australia by the end of 1643, completely getting rid of the situation of relying on imported grain.

Although the grain reserve plan is not yet fully launched, some work can be considered, such as the location and construction of the granary, which can at least be completed in advance.

Preparing grain is a big project, if you want to interfere in Daming's internal affairs in the next few years, grain is an indispensable thing, and the reason why Daming will have peasant uprisings is entirely because of the impact of the Xiaoice period, the reduction of grain, the inability of farmers to eat, and the annexation of land.

Therefore, not only for the strategic needs of the mainland, but also in Hong Kong, to build a large granary, this plan can start now, using the time between the high and low prices of grain to buy grain.

In order to solve this problem, the Executive Committee specially approved a special fund for the establishment of a reserve granary by the overseas consulates of Hong Kong, which is to be used exclusively for grain reserves, and the overseas consulates and government departments are not allowed to divert them for other purposes.

In addition, there are new views on Liu Zhi's appointment, Xu Renguo and Yang Yi proposed to transfer Liu Zhi to a new position, that is, a cultural post, the new cultural department has not yet been formed, just take this opportunity to let him be formed, which is also very helpful for him to lead the work of this department in the future.

However, at present, Liu Zhi himself does not know the news that he is about to be transferred, leaving the police force, forming the Ministry of Culture, and seems to have been promoted, in fact, for the current Liu Zhi, the Ministry of Culture is a clear water yamen, and it cannot be compared with the police station.

This news has not yet been reported, judging from the report he submitted, he has made meritorious contributions, and if he is transferred to Qingshui Yamen, it is very likely that people will misunderstand, so Yang Yi decided to personally come forward to have a conversation with Liu Zhi to dispel his inner thoughts and tell him the real reason.

In fact, Yang Yi's opinion of Liu Zhi has changed, and the reason why he was put in this new department is naturally because of his own ideas.
