Chapter 203 Village-based Development

The construction progress of Chang'an Town in Australia can be said to be very fast, but compared to the entire Australian continent, just the construction speed of a city is too fast does not mean anything, and the country must first have a development plan internally to embark on a stronger road to development.

Strictly speaking, there are only two towns in mainland Australia, the capital Chang'an, and Xinluo Town, which was approved for construction this year, and Xinluo Town currently has a settled population of more than 2,000 people, and its total population including the garrison should reach more than 2,100 people.

The construction of Xinluo Town is for the consideration of Australia's local agricultural development and started construction, which is to put it bluntly, Australia's future grain base and food processing base, but for Australia, such a large piece of land, only two towns is very unreasonable.

The long coastline, once the enemy lands Australia from elsewhere and establishes settlements there, it will be quite a challenge for Australia, so according to the requirements of the Executive Committee, there are at least some villages or large towns in the coastal areas.

There should be at least 20 villages around a town, which seems to be a large proportion, but in fact it is quite small for the entire Australian continent, so the latest development report of the Executive Committee points out that development should be dominated by villages.

Blind construction of towns is not an inevitable means of development, and the plan of expanding from the construction of villages to the development of villages and eventually to large towns has been agreed to by everyone.

This is why so many immigrants at the level of village chiefs are recruited, and the village is the town of the future for Australia, when a village continues to expand and build, and finds a suitable development path for itself, it will be possible to expand into a town at that time.

The first batch of 40 villages were allocated, mainly around Chang'an Town, to facilitate management and experimentation, and to prove that this development path was not wrong, after all, a good policy needs to be changed according to the actual situation for it to be implemented.

The number of people in each village is different, but the number of households is the same, twenty households in each village, mainly in the family unit, the village chief is the government sent here to manage their officials, each village has a village head, the village chief has a lot of work, in addition to being responsible for daily affairs, but also needs to do the work of the sheriff.

In short, the village chief is not a good official, everything has to be managed, theoretically speaking, there is only one village chief in each village, as for the other officials, of course, there is no need, some villages have dozens of people, where do so many officials need such a small number of people.

Of course, in order to avoid the fact that in the future, if all the villages are close relatives marrying, the government still takes this problem into account, and every year a certain number of households will be added to each village, and the specific number of households is not determined, and it depends entirely on the distribution of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The more allotment will naturally get more resources to develop, and the less allocated will also have fewer opportunities for natural development, and these belong to villages in remote areas.

In order to allow Australia to have the ability to produce its own food, the government has done a lot of work, and the development of each village is different, some focus on grazing, and some are planting, so according to this development, there is absolutely no problem in solving Australia's local food production in the next two years.

Of course, there will be no danger if there are more villages, this is also after careful consideration, how to hundreds of thousands of indigenous people in Australia, although the place is very large, but maybe when it will be encountered, now the Australian Army is trying to work hard to put the indigenous tribes in a pot, completely solve this trouble.

As long as the problem of the indigenous people is solved, there is basically no problem with the safety of the village, after all, the number of indigenous people is there, even if there are so many, there is no other possibility.

In one case, the adult males of each village are members of the village guards, and although weapons such as rifles cannot be issued to them, cold weapons such as broadswords and spears are still available, and these things are usually kept by the village chief, and in case of danger, they can be collected directly from the warehouse.

Of course, when encountering large-scale indigenous tribes, the government still does not want them to resist, and tries to retreat to other villages, after all, saving their lives is the most important thing.

Only by saving their lives can they live a better life, but relatively speaking, the 50 miles around the construction of the village are basically searched by the army, and there are generally garrisons in the outermost villages, and the purpose of these garrisons is to ensure the safety of the people in this area.

If the development of this model is good, then in what kind of Australia will be promoted and implemented, now the number of immigrants from Daming every month is about 15 to 2,000 people, this number is relatively large, but according to the plan of the big immigration, this is still a bit small.

In this way, the maximum number of people a year is 20,000, and the plan of the Great Migration is to immigrate between 30,000 and 50,000 a year, and strive to reach the total population of Australia to exceed 200,000 by 1645.

Only by breaking through this number can the war that interfere with the Ming Dynasty finally carry me on, otherwise it will not be so difficult to continue.

Therefore, while speeding up the transportation, the Dutch also sent five additional merchant ships to join the transportation team, contributing to the great migration plan of Australia.

The arrival of these new immigrants determines the population distribution of the village in a certain number, and the current industrial development in Australia is not too fast, and the workers needed in a short period of time are not so many, so naturally these people can be arranged in the village.

After all, many immigrants are from peasant backgrounds, and it is best for them to arrange for them to go to the villages, and there is no need for such a thing as farming, and the most important thing is that they are also willing to farm, and when they hear that they are given land, they are happy as if they have received great benefits.

Of course, for these simple farmers, getting a few acres of land for free, such a good thing, is naturally no different from getting great benefits.

As long as there is land to plant, they can live, and when they come to Australia, their biggest wish is to have enough food, and the government will distribute food to them, so that they can eat enough and have land to plant, which is better than anything else.

Of course, what they don't know is that staying in the capital Chang'an is actually better than getting so many pieces of land, but there are a few people who have such ideas, and not everyone wants to live in the city.
