Chapter 228: Local Councils

Hong Kong's overseas territory is Australia's earliest overseas territory, different from the colony, its status is more special, it is more special in terms of ownership, what kind of special law, it is leased from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the representative of the treaty signed is the Liangguang Governor's Office.

But the public knows that the Ming Dynasty will be finished in two years, which means that the fate of Hong Kong will fall into a new trouble, of course, even if the later Southern Ming Dynasty wants to take it back, it is basically impossible, and a defensive fortress has been built here.

At sea, the Australian Navy intercepted the enemy at sea, and on land built a tall defensive wall, with dozens of artillery fortifications, bunkers and the like, as long as Hong Kong can get support from the sea, no one can capture this place.

Zhou Yang's report to the Executive Committee pointed out that the fortifications of the first and second phases have been completed, which can basically defend against threats from their own sphere of influence, and of course other possible accidents cannot be ruled out.

As the frontier position of entering the Ming Dynasty in the future, it is needless to say how important Hong Kong's geographical location is, at present, it is one of the towns with the strongest hematopoietic capacity in the country from the perspective of the entire Australian domestic town.

In addition to the capital Chang'an Town, his own hematopoietic ability ranks second, which has a lot to do with a large number of import and export trade and a part of the light industry processing plant, the most important thing is that it has ended the local financial subsidies, relying entirely on its own hematopoietic ability to maintain local development, which can be said to be a big leap.

You must know that among all the towns in Australia that can develop without state financial subsidies, except for Chang'an Town, there is basically no place that can have such strength, which also fully illustrates a problem, Hong Kong's development path is still very promising, and Zhou Yang and Yang Yuzhou's personal ability has been affirmed.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the great immigration has not increased and foreign trade exports have increased, and Australia's local commodity exports have increased, which has also had a certain impact on this place to a certain extent.

Commodities exported to Daming, all have to pass through here for transshipment, whether it is Fujian or Zhejiang and other coastal provinces of merchants, will stop in Hong Kong, businessmen here, will drive the flow of people to increase, the more merchants come and go, can drive consumption, so as to promote the development of other industries.

This point can be affirmed, Hong Kong's streets, operating more and more commercial shops of all kinds, from the first few to the current dozens, it can be said that it has completely entered a new stage of development. These shops are opened by Australians, and some are opened by immigrants in the later period, in short, there are all kinds of people.

Hong Kong is the first stop to receive immigrants every month will regularly give 100 people immigration quotas, this 100 places can be said to be very precious, now want to immigrate to this is not as easy as the beginning, mainly to cooperate with other overseas colonies in Australia and the local immigration work, after all, the distance here is too close, everyone is reluctant to leave the mainland, just want to find a place closer to immigration.

With the increasing population, the development of society is also entering a new stage more and more, immigrants to Hong Kong, can not shave their heads or even change their services, which can be said to be a major feature of Hong Kong, mainly because it is too close to the Ming Dynasty, and will inevitably be influenced by the local culture.

It is very difficult to completely use Australian culture to influence these primitive immigrants, of course, speaking Mandarin, this is what every immigrant must pass, otherwise there is no culture of their own at all, then soon the city will be assimilated by these immigrants.

While preserving a part of the original culture, it is best to assimilate them as much as possible, not only to assimilate them, but also to make them feel that they are not a guest but a real builder.

So the local council was born in response, the original local council was called the Hong Kong National Council, all the citizens have any good ideas and suggestions can be put forward to the government, the immigrants at the beginning of this is quite new, I feel that this is completely different from what they have seen before, the people can actually put forward opinions like the government, such a new thing is the first time to encounter.

Although things are relatively new, no one wants to be the first one, who knows if this will be some kind of trap or something, for the little people, if they can not deal with the government, they will not fight, and there is nothing good about dealing with the government.

However, for some businessmen, it is completely different, what they see is an opportunity to get close to the government, and it can be said that it is very rare to have such an opportunity, if you don't grasp it well, it is not sorry for people to put forward such good opinions.

Merchants sometimes dare to take risks, otherwise it is impossible to make money, so in this case someone brought it up, and they were surprised to find that their advice was adopted, and even the lord of the government received him.

This is very rare for low-status businessmen, to be able to get such an opportunity, what does this mean, does it mean that Australians still attach great importance to the advice of themselves and others, it seems that the Australian government is indeed different from the Ming Dynasty.

Then more and more businessmen issued their own suggestions, some were adopted and some were not, and finally the government directly organized them together for them to give advice in the future.

I gave an official name, called a councilor, and if you do well, you can also enter the government, and the status of the councillor is very high, and you can put forward your own suggestions on many things.

This is an ideal place for businessmen to have their own voice, not even to please the government, which the merchant class has wanted for thousands of years.

I didn't expect Australia to attach importance to business, and it is not a lie to build a country based on business, it seems that the local area should go even more, so a group of wealthy Ming businessmen joined the sequence of taking the initiative to apply for immigration to the mainland with funds, and for them, the local may have greater opportunities.

Of course, more or for the place to have great expectations, hope to be able to get more space for development in the local area, I heard that the business of Australians has reached the country of the red-haired people, in fact, for many businessmen, or want to take a look, after all, the temptation of interests is so great, what they pursue is the benefit, if they can get the protection of the Australian government, for them to expand their business, it is really a very good thing.
