On 30 December, Poon Chi-shing led his cabinet members to formally meet with the queen and submit an application for the formation of a cabinet. And the queen was not picky, and directly stamped the queen's seal on the mandate.

This is actually a cutscene, because the queen is really just an honorary leader and has no power.

But in any case, the Netherlands is still the suzerainty of South China, and it recognizes a series of privileges of the Netherlands in South China, and this process still has to be repeated.

On 31 December, members of the Cabinet of the South China Government held a press conference in front of the world's media, at which they expounded a series of policies on South China and the Cabinet's governing principles in front of reporters from all over the world.

Pan Zhicheng clearly pointed out that the emerging South China will respond to the complex international situation with a new attitude, and take economic development as the main task of the government. Within the First Five-Year Plan, we will strive to solve the problems of food and clothing and housing in South China, and become an emerging force in Asia.

Solving the problem of food and clothing may be a difficult task for many countries, but for South China, the task is not heavy at all.

According to the census conducted by South China, the current number of people registered by the household registration department is 11.36 million, of which 8.6 million are originally from the East Indies, of which 2 million are of other nationalities and the number of Chinese is more than 6.5 million.

Of the 2.7 million Chinese immigrants, nearly 2 million still maintain dual citizenship, and nearly 3 million live mainly outside South China.

More than half of these three million people live in British-occupied areas such as Malaysia and Burma, and a small number live in French-occupied areas and even the US-occupied Philippines.

There were also some Chinese living in other parts of the East Indies, and these people were mainly young and middle-aged capitalist families who wanted to protect the plantations and other industries in other areas.

As a result, there are less than nine million people in South China who really need to be fed, and there is still a large amount of foreign capital to fill the treasury every year.

However, Nanhua now has a land area of 550,000 square kilometers, with an average of only 15 people per square kilometer, and most of them are concentrated in a few large cities along the coast.

Even if Palembang is captured in the future, it will increase the number of people by a million, but at the same time, it will also increase the fertile land by more than 10,000 square kilometers.

The lower delta of the Musi River is fertile and well-cultivated. At that time, the problem of food and clothing will not become a burden.

It is also located in the tropics, where rice crops three times a year, and this winter thousands of skilled workers were recruited in Germany just from surplus rice collected in South China.

Compared with food, the most important problem that Nanhua needs to solve now is housing, and the current housing gap exceeds 80 percent of the demand, and even if the existing 20 percent does not meet the requirements put forward by Zhou Nan in the plan.

In Zhou Nan's plan, it is necessary to ensure that each citizen has at least 20 square meters of standard housing, which is not the kind of shack or simple wooden house that most people have now.

Rather, it is required to have a standard wood-paneled house or a brick-and-wood structure house with heat-insulated, moisture-proof, and insect-proof facilities.

In rural areas, every household must have a well, a lawn, and a courtyard. In the city, it is also necessary to ensure that each home has a balcony and a separate bathroom.

At the same time, Zhou Nan also set a luxury tax. If the per capita housing area exceeds 100 square meters, and the per capita residential area exceeds 300 square meters, a certain amount of resource encroachment tax needs to be paid every year.

Moreover, this tax is progressive, and the more it is occupied, the higher the tax will be, preventing some wealthy merchant families from directly buying a hill to build their own homes in order to pay attention to pomp and circumstance.

Of course, Zhou Nan did not fail to consider exceptions, such as some farms. So he deliberately left a loophole, if you have the money to build a house on your own plantation or farm, it doesn't matter how big it is.

The current housing gap is also related to the government's failure to open up residential land.

If there is no unified planning, the real estate market will be a mess, and the city will be a mess.

At present, Nanhua has set up more than 20 planning teams to carry out unified planning for all cities in Nanhua, starting with the construction of sewers, water purification plants, sewage treatment plants, and reserved street parks.

Commercial areas, residential areas, leisure areas, business districts, and industrial areas should be planned in a unified manner. Let every city not only conform to the harmonious style of man and nature, but also make every city a livable city.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the current housing construction approval has not been liberalized, which has led to such a large housing gap.

Even if some of the temporary improvised houses are built now to meet the demand, they will be demolished later.

For example, the city of Pontianak, which already exists, is about to be demolished in the planning, and most of the houses do not meet the standards at all. Not to mention wells, most homes don't even have a toilet.

Although at first the people complained for days because they were not allowed to build houses, after seeing the plan, no one complained. In order to live in a clean and tidy house in the future, it is nothing to suffer a little now.

The Chinese nation has always been a hard-working nation, and as for the indigenous people, they never imagined that one day they would be able to live in such a good house......

Among all the cabinet members, apart from Prime Minister Pan Zhicheng, the most concerned is the opposition leader Chen Zhongqing.

At his press conference, he said that the opposition party led by him would fully support the ruling party's national policies in accordance with the constitution, but at the same time would enact the strictest oversight regulations from the outset to eliminate any corruption and malfeasance.

For every industrial investment project, large-scale agricultural investment project, the judiciary will review and supervise, and there will be zero tolerance for any violations.

In his speech, Foreign Minister Lin Yilong also attracted the attention of the media of various countries, in which he claimed that South China pursues an independent and active foreign policy and adheres to the principles of non-interference in internal affairs, consultation on an equal footing, and peaceful settlement of disputes in international affairs.

South China advocates multilateralism, pays attention to safeguarding the interests of developing countries, actively participates in the world economy, and abides by the international charter of the United Nations.

Nanhua is willing to strengthen communication and cooperation with the Western world and the Eastern world, and is willing to play a unique role in some regional and international issues and assume corresponding international responsibilities.

The main meaning of this statement is that South China is willing to become a bridge between the East and the West, but it is not willing to become a battlefield.

Although Zhou Nan participated in almost all the large-scale conferences, he did not accept any interviews, and he was even more reluctant to steal the limelight from anyone.

Most of the leaders did not respond to questions about Zhou Nan, except for Premier Pan Zhicheng, who gave a brief response to reporters' questions at the end of the press conference.

At that time, it was an American reporter who asked: "Your Excellency, it is well known that Jonas Zhou played an irreplaceable role in the process of independence of South China, and even the national policies that South China is implementing today have been influenced by him. His extensive connections in the Western world have certainly contributed to the development of South China, but how do you see him as the deputy secretary-general of the Swiss Federal Council? ”

Pan Zhicheng replied: "This is the first time I have officially answered a question about Mr. Zhou, and of course it is also the last. Mr. Zhou is one of the few historians, politicians and thinkers with a macro vision who has emerged in the world in recent years. Whether it is academic, or in the judgment and analysis of international affairs, he has an outstanding talent that is difficult to be matched by others. He is also the pride of all our Chinese. ”

"In fact, we have repeatedly asked him to take up a position in Nanhua. But he politely declined, preferring to focus his energy on academic research and education. With a total investment of nearly 10 million US dollars, Mr. Zhou alone donated 3 million US dollars. Under his leadership, in less than half a year, we Chinese have donated 10 million US dollars and completed the expected goal. ”

"All Nanhua people are touched by what Mr. Zhou has done for Nanhua, and we respect his personal wishes and do not want him to fall into tedious mundane affairs and communication. But because of his clear understanding of many issues, his accurate judgment in international affairs, we are also willing to listen to his suggestions and opinions, nothing more. ”

"As for his current position as Deputy Secretary-General of the Swiss Federal Council, I personally believe that this does not in any way affect our position in him or the trust we have in him. His relationship with the West will not be an obstacle between us and the West, on the contrary, we all believe that He can better serve as a bridge between us and the Western world. Thank you. ”

Pan Zhicheng's speech can be regarded as a positioning for Zhou Nan, he is an adviser, although Zhou Nan is now very influential in Nanhua, and can even be called the father of the nation in Nanhua.

He designed the national flag of Nanhua, he created the national anthem of Nanhua, and he participated in the formulation of Nanhua's political system and policies, but he was too young after all.

If Zhou Nan is now seventy or eighty years old and is going to die, everyone will not mind holding Zhou Nan to the sky.

But Zhou Nan was only twenty-five years old, younger than most of their sons, and even younger than their grandsons. Holding Zhou Nan too high is not good for Zhou Nan or Nanhua in the future.

Moreover, Zhou Nan is still reluctant to return to Nanhua to take up his post, so at this time, he can't let others have the idea of using Zhou Nan to influence Nanhua.

Although everyone knows that Zhou Nan can influence the political situation in South China, can affect South China's policies, and can affect South China's economy, they just won't admit it.

This is another kind of stealing the bell.

However, in order to be more reasonable, Cai Lao and the others decided to learn from the Swiss government and arrange a position for Zhou Nan.
