Chapter 342 Embassy in Australia
With the ascension of King Gui, the Liangguang regime gradually became the representative of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Youlong finally decided to officially set up an embassy in Australia to facilitate normal exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.

After all, the cooperation between the two sides can be said to be all-round, and in addition to the economic field, military cooperation has also officially reached the forefront. Australia has requisitioned a division of nearly 10,000 troops from the country to participate in the war in Daming, and this posture speaks for itself, indicating that they have formally carried out military cooperation between them.
In order to support the Ming Dynasty, Australia has carried out a general mobilization order from the whole country to the top and bottom. Especially in terms of donations and materials, and most of them are immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, so they are very active in this regard. After all, blood is thicker than water, and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, how can they sit idly by. In addition, the various propaganda of the government in the early stage also played a very important effect.
Otherwise, just relying on some gossip to publicize back and forth, it will definitely not play a role, in the case of everyone's enthusiastic donations, the new army of the two Guangxi was successfully formed, it can be said that the role of the Ming Embassy in Australia in this is not small.
The embassy staff, first of all, visited some of the most prominent elderly people and businessmen among the local immigrants, expressed their guilt and self-blame for what happened to them in Daming, and at the same time expressed their blessings for a better life in Australia.
The Ming immigrants who immigrated to Australia will have a house of their own as long as they struggle for at least a year or two, and the most important thing is that the state has a certain financial subsidy for these immigrants, which is the biggest difference.
Shen Youlong originally planned to implement this policy in the newly occupied land in Annam, but apparently the financial authorities did not support him to do so, and although the financial revenue of the entire Liangguang was rising year by year, this did not mean that the Liangguang had enough money to distribute various benefits.
The first thing to solve is the problem of eating, and it is a very good thing to be able to solve the problem of eating for the entire people of Guangxi and Guangzhou, not to mention any garrison subsidies and the like, these can only be thought about later.
But in order to learn from Australia's good experience, Shen Youlong still first implemented some benefits among government officials, such as you are just an ordinary servant, as long as you have been engaged in this job for more than five years and are still in the post, then your child can be sent to the school for free.
For the children of high-ranking officials, whether civil or military, as long as you want, you can pay to send you to Australia to study, but the premise is that you must study seriously, if you fail the exam, then you will have to return all the money from the government.
These benefits are very good for some officials, especially for low-level officials, it is simply a boon, in addition to the benefits for their children, the benefits for the officials themselves are also very high.
If the welfare of the officials themselves is not high, then there will be corruption, in Zhou Yang's words, this is a high salary and integrity, Shen Youlong felt that there was some truth in the statement of Australians, so he learned it.
said that it is an embassy in Australia, but in fact, this embassy has to take care of everything, responsible for picking up and dropping off the school arrangements for the children of officials, as well as miscellaneous things such as Shen Youlong's explanation of the various skills learned, etc., which are very many, and it can be said that they are like a grocery store in the strict sense.
If it weren't for the radio set up in Guangzhou, which facilitated the communication between the two places, the work of this embassy might not have been so busy, and it can even be said that being sent here is equivalent to sending out the frontier.
When there was no embassy, the Hong Kong office has always played a major role in connecting with Australians, and they play a very important role in this, and their status is also very high, and the other is that it is close to Guangzhou, not as far as Australia.
But now it's different, with the telegraph exchange, the news from Australia can be transmitted back as soon as possible, which makes Shen Youlong pay more and more attention to the work of the embassy, and it is not just mentioned at the meeting once that the importance of the embassy staff and the high-standard treatment are given.
In this case, the work of the embassy began to be normalized, and the embassy that was originally just a few people was established for the sake of meaning, but now it is different, there is a lot of work to be done, and most importantly, they have a very heavy responsibility.
If this situation continues, it will definitely not work if there are still so few people, so Shen Youlong ordered that the embassy staff should be fully equipped, and it should be done in accordance with the standards set by the Australians.
This is the happiest amount for the ambassador of the embassy, as the more people there are, the more power he has, which means that he is valued, and if this continues, it will not be long before he can be transferred back to China.
In fact, life in Australia is very good, there are a lot of things that can't be seen here, and the environment is relatively good, if he is really allowed to go back, he may not be willing to go back, but he always wants to be able to rise one day.
If you give up the opportunity to ascend, it will be difficult to wait for that opportunity.
After the latest staffing, the staff of the embassy in Australia has been expanded to more than 50 people, including the escort guards, which can be said to be fully equipped as standard.
In any case, after the staff is fully equipped, their work efficiency has also doubled compared to before, after all, the more people are responsible for the project, the project is dispersed, and they can be a good full-time job.
For the Ming embassy in Australia, the Australian side has also given great help, sending special diplomatic personnel to help them train the embassy staff and how to operate.
How can it be said that the standard is completely built in accordance with Australian standards, which is also what Shen Yulong meant.
If it weren't for the increasing importance of the embassy, maybe Shen Youlong wouldn't have paid attention to them.
Although this embassy was established with the help of Australians, it was not entirely in accordance with Australian standards, for example, Shen Yulong also secretly sent some secret agents to mix in, although this thing was done very secretly, but in fact, it could not be hidden from Billy Zhou's eyes.
As an intelligence officer, he will not let go of any bit of intelligence and suspicion, as long as it is a foreigner who enters Australia, he will enter his sight, and he will observe whether there is a suspicion of spies, of course, even if he finds out that the other party has this suspicion, he will not arrest people immediately.
He will observe it beforehand and make a final decision based on the situation. (To be continued.) )
