Chapter 160: The Governor's Decision

Hong Kong's development is obvious to all, and as the nominal supreme governor of the Liangguang territory, Shen Yulong knows best that what used to be a small fishing village has now developed into a town of 3,000 people, and the actual and indirect dependence on Hong Kong for the number of Australian factory workers has reached 50,000.

Not to mention these workers, even those refugees outside are at least not less than tens of thousands, but the Australians are doing a very good job, setting up special relief points outside Hong Kong to help these refugees, some are recruited to work in Hong Kong, and some are as far away as Australia.

At least they live in a refugee camp outside, and they do have a guarantee of a safe environment under their rule, and as long as there is a stutter, no one wants to rebel.

No matter how obvious Australia's ambitions are, Shen Yulong understands one thing, that is, the Australians gave these refugees a bite to eat, and at the same time solved a big problem for themselves, which made him more envious of the Australians' ability to develop their economies rapidly, which is really amazing.

At this time, in the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, Shen Youlong personally accompanied Wu Zhengdao who came from afar, don't look at the age difference between Wu Zhengdao and him by more than 20 years, but the level of the two is almost the same, which is also one of the main reasons why Shen Youlong is willing to sit down and talk to Wu Zhengdao.

There have been more and more refugees on the border of Liangguang in recent months, which makes Shen Youlong a little worried, the more refugees, the greater the pressure on the government, you must know that it may be mixed with the spies of the king, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble.

The main purpose of Wu Zhengdao's visit this time was to discuss with him the increase in the number of immigrants, the actual quota for immigrants was only a few thousand each year, but according to the total number of immigrants last year, it was actually less than 5,000, and more than half of them remained in Hong Kong and other places.

The total number of immigrants accepted by the mainland is about 2,400, which is still too small for the people who want to develop the territory quickly.

The two gifts just received and the construction of two overseas territories must also be accelerated, which is a sign of Australia's presence in Southeast Asia, and can also be a supply base for its own merchant ships.

If you want to increase the number of immigrants, it is not possible to consult with the local officials in Daming, even if it is a refugee, you must also consult with them, although Shen Youlong is more worried that these refugees will make trouble, but there is still some worry about letting them immigrate to Australia on a large scale.

"Minister Wu, if the people of our country enter Australia, they will belong to the people of Australia."

"This is natural, entering Australia is very Australian, this is also for their consideration, joining Australian nationality can enjoy some of the policy care and benefits, if you maintain the Ming nationality, then at most you can only be regarded as a migrant worker, and you want to enjoy the same treatment as the people of your own country."

Entering Australia is extremely Australian, which is a law set by the Australian Department of Immigration, and the relevant benefits are naturally only enjoyed by the citizens of their own country.

Shen Youlong originally wanted to be angry and complain that Australia was prejudiced against the people of the Ming Dynasty, but when he thought of the current situation, even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to discipline Australia well, he couldn't do it.

Counting that Australia is inherited from the former Qin, it is earlier than the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really difficult to explain the Tao here, so Shen Youlong didn't care too much.

It's just that the purpose of Wu Zhengdao's coming this time is very simple, to discuss with him in order to increase the speed of immigration, and he can not care about the outflow of thousands of people every year, but now he proposes the number of immigrants of tens of thousands of people a year, which makes Shen Youlong a little unbearable.

Tens of thousands of people are going out, not to mention that the goal is too big, whether it will be ginseng or not, even if these refugees are willing or not, I don't know.

Of course, Shen Youlong's worries can be said to be superfluous, the refugees are naturally willing to go, staying in Daming without food and clothing, and affected by the Xiaoice River period, they stay here can be said to be either starving to death or freezing to death.

So it's superfluous for him to worry about whether others will leave, and it's more about whether he will be sued, after all, it's a crime.

Don't talk about the distance, it's hard to say whether the nearby Zheng Zhilong will sue him, Lao Zheng also transports immigrants abroad, and the conditions offered by the Australians are generous, who will go to him.

"My lord, we are all here to give the people a way to live, I can't bear to see my compatriots suffer, so I put forward such conditions, if not, Australia will do so."

Wu Zhengdao persuaded Shen Youlong, he knew that Lao Shen was a good official for the country and the people, he would not watch the people starve to death, otherwise it would be impossible to let so many refugees flow into Hong Kong.

"My lord, this is the statistics of the number of refugees outside Hong Kong, the number of people who have increased every month has increased recently, and the influx of such a large number of refugees is very bad for local security, even if Australia has good intentions, it cannot afford to support tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of idle people."

The influx of a large number of refugees into Hong Kong has doubled the pressure on Hong Kong's overseas consular government, not to mention anything else, just to say that the food that is rescued every day is consumed by the net 10,000 catties, this amount is very scary, not to mention anything else, just a year's food purchase consumes a lot of money.

Shen Youlong fell into thought, this matter was too big, he had to make a careful decision, so he didn't agree immediately, but needed to think about it, hoping to give him a little time.

Of course, Wu Zhengdao also gave him a time limit, a maximum of one week, and showed him the government documents in Australia, which would reduce the relief funds, so there was not much time for him to think.

Therefore, in order to reduce the investment in refugee relief funds, the Executive Committee has issued a document, which will gradually decrease from February this year, and the funds will be invested in immigrants, and this new policy still has a very big impact on Daming refugees.

If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy to continue to stay here and receive relief food, so Shen Youlong is also in trouble, the problem that Wu Zhengdao said does exist, not to mention that a small country in Australia can't afford it, even Daming can't afford hundreds of thousands of people who have nothing to do.

In previous years, the best way was to distribute relief food to these people while restoring the farmland, and the Australians meant to let these people go to Australia to open up the wasteland, one to change food, the other to cultivate new food, and also to help the refugees of the Ming Dynasty, so that the best of both worlds does not have to work.
