Chapter 128: Xinluo Town

The Executive Committee has officially approved the construction and establishment of Xinluo Town, and the first batch of personnel to move to Xinluo Town is about 200 people, of which 50 army soldiers will move to Xincheng with the new immigrants to garrison the town to ensure their safety.

The site of the new town is located in the northeast of Chang'an Town, near the Kimberley Plateau, which is rich in water resources and suitable for the development of animal husbandry and planting.

The distance from Chang'an Town is about more than 500 kilometers, and most people do not agree to build a second town at such a distance, after all, the distance is too far, the materials between the two towns cannot be well coordinated, and there are certain troubles in the transportation of resources.

However, there are only a few places in Australia that are suitable for the development of agriculture, and the distance is even farther away, and the current plan is to gradually move forward in the form of a post station of 50 kilometers, and at the same time form a road construction team to repair the link road between the two towns first.

Once the road is repaired, the distance of 500 kilometers is not too far, and even if there is no train, as long as there is a carriage to transport it, it will be much better to walk on the smooth road than this dirt road.

The establishment of the new town has been determined, with an open town mayor, a sheriff, and an administrative scrivener, plus a doctor. In order to save resources to the greatest extent, the Executive Committee has compressed the entire configuration, in fact, it is already good for a town of more than 200 people to have this configuration.

More than 200 people were a small village in later generations, not a town at all, so they cannot be compared with the administrative structure of later generations.

At present, the construction of post stations of the Army's open corps is to build post stations every 50 kilometers, and the staff of post stations are generally equipped with about five to ten armed personnel.

For the staff of the post station, the executive committee proposed for the first time that the immigrants could be selected, and those who were relatively adventurous could be selected to enter the post station, and at the same time, it could also play a role in opening up new towns.

The stationmaster of the post station is equivalent to a village head, and the executive committee authorizes them to bring their family members and relatives and friends to live at the workplace, but in consideration of the children's education, the education department will generally interfere with them in bringing their children to work there.

Children are the future of Australia, these are the flowers of the motherland, and the inheritance of the future will be inherited by them, so the education problem is a very big problem, and we must not ignore the existence of this problem.

The recruitment notice of Xinluo Town has been posted, this town is mainly based on agricultural construction, which means that the main life there is farming, and some related industries of agricultural production may be established according to the later development, but the initial construction task is to grow grain, vegetables, vegetables and fruits.

Many of the residents of Chang'an Town are farmers, and although they have entered the factory, some of them still miss the days of planting experts, after all, the land is the foundation of the people.

As soon as the new recruitment regulations came out, it caused quite a stir, and the conditions for opening up the new towns given by the government are very rich, as long as the first batch of residents of Livable Xinluo Town will receive five acres of land rewarded by the government for free in the unified reclamation of land, and at the same time, the housing and early living guarantee for moving to the new town are fully provided by the government.

Five acres of land, this number is a lot for ordinary people, if a family of three has five acres of their own land, life will definitely be very good, such a good thing they have not encountered before, can also meet the imperial court to fill the population, in order to migrate the population to then will open such a rich condition.

However, because the Ming Dynasty has been established for many years, land annexation and development have reached the limit, and it is impossible for the imperial court to introduce such conditions at this time, so from this point of view, the Australian Dynasty should say that the territory is vast, but the population is sparse, so such a policy will be introduced.

As soon as this policy came out, it directly caused the workers in various factories to have no intention of going to work, and they were eager to sign up to settle in the new town, but what they saw was only a superficial phenomenon, and no one knew what was going on in the new town.

At present, the people who have been to the new town except for the exploration team of Shi Nan, the others do not know the situation here, because it is far away, and the army has not carried out a danger investigation of this place, so looking at the residents who are eager for the new town, Wu Zhengdao does not know what to say.

There was a long queue of people at the registration venue, and there were about 1,000 people to sign up, and most of them went to the temptation of the five acres of land, which can be said to be very tempting to them.

As long as you settle in a new town, you can get five acres of land that has been reclaimed, where can you find such a good thing.

There are more and more people, this is not a good thing, the entire Chang'an Town has a population of more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 people have signed up, which is equivalent to saying that nearly two-thirds of the people are willing to become farmers, and give up the current superior living conditions, which is unimaginable.

If it weren't for the number limit, I am afraid that the members of the executive committee and the leaders of the factories would have been anxious at this time, but fortunately it was only for the sake of opening up in advance to attract immigrants to settle down, and if this continued, I am afraid that not many people would stay in the cities and become industrial workers.

"This policy can't be implemented forever, if it continues to be implemented like this, sooner or later something will happen, I think it will be better to distribute it proportionally in the future." Wu Zhengdao said to Xu Renguo.

"Well, the openness of the new town attracts the old residents to give up their superior life to go, and the temptation of no benefit is not good, Xiao Wu, you don't want to give up the hundreds of acres of land, this is nothing to Australia, and it is nothing to them."

It seems that Xu Renguo is more open, what is not lacking in Australia is land, and he is still very supportive of the practice of rewarding immigrants with land, but at the same time he also affirmed Wu Zhengdao's words, that is, immigrants in the later period must not have such a policy to enjoy, otherwise the residents of these old towns will have to immigrate as long as they immigrate, which is a loss for the newly established factory, after all, it is not easy to train a worker to come out, if they are gone, the early investment is equivalent to waste.

Xu Renguo saw this very clearly, and he was more aware of the importance of skilled workers to the development of the country than Wu Zhengdao, and skilled workers can be said to exist at the same level as grain reserves, so they can't be sloppy.
