Time flies, the years are flying, and in the blink of an eye, it is June again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been nearly a year since the establishment of Daming.

During this period, thanks to the influence of gold, immigrants poured into Daming one after another. In a short period of time, the population of Daming exceeded the 500,000 mark.

Among them, the proportion of Chinese accounts for about 20% of the total population. And among these Chinese, ninety percent are from the South Seas, and one percent are from the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula. After that, there are Australian aborigines, accounting for 50%, which is the largest proportion.

There is no way to do this, the buildings near the water are the first to get the month, and Australia is their territory. After seeing that other indigenous tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they did not worry about food, clothing, and their lives were getting better and better, so they were red and warm-hearted, and they returned to the Ming Dynasty.

It's also the wisest!

Because since the rebellion of the Aruming tribe, the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the indigenous tribes has become more and more tough. Whenever the civilization brigade arrives at a place, the indigenous tribes either accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, or go to the west to see the Buddha.

Subsequently, the subjugated indigenous tribes were broken up and new civilized villages were built.

Of course, the natives in the new village will never come from the same tribe. It's all over the world, everywhere. In addition, some new immigrants have been integrated in, so that there will be no negative phenomenon of gangs and factions in the new village.

In this way, it is convenient to manage and to rule.

There are also 10% of the aborigines from the South Seas, who are close to Australia and have a large population. But their internal sources are also complicated! Because there are many small island countries in the South Seas, even if they look the same indigenous people, they belong to different countries, speak different languages, and have different customs and living habits.

And most of the people who can come to Daming are people who have ambitions and pursuits for life. Like those natives who eat and wait for death, lazy and terminal cancer, they don't have the heart to come to Daming at all.

In this way, it also relieved the Ming leaders of the worries about the natives of Nanyang. After all, if a group of people who are too lazy to be outrageous come, it will be annoying to kill.

The next half are whites from all countries, especially the Dutch, followed by the Portuguese, Spaniards, and the British, and the rest of Europe is the least.

They were originally colonists who migrated to Nanyang, and their identities were relatively ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get along in my hometown, I really wouldn't have come to Nanyang.

Because in the boundaries of the South Seas, although they have a higher status than the natives, they are not of great use. After all, the colonies were exploited, exploited, and exploited, and there was no economic development at all, so there was no profitable business.

Except for the big bourgeoisie, the family, and the ruling class, no one else wanted to make any profit in the colonies. In addition, the nature of capital is to strip and exploit, regardless of country, without discrimination. Therefore, these ordinary people can only rely on large interest groups in the colony and civil land, and accept their employment, and they do not mix very well.

In addition to starving to death, you can't make a fortune.

So after hearing the news that Daming is full of gold, they all rushed into Daming. No matter how the rulers of the colonies coerced and lured, they all rushed to the Ming Dynasty with iron heart.

What could be more seductive and seductive to them than solid gold?

The last half are immigrants from Southeast Asia, South Asia and other countries, whose sources are more complex and account for a small proportion.

Among these immigrants, except for the Chinese, all other races were divided into the New Five Towns. Because these places are in the first place to be built, the conditions are difficult, and the living environment is extremely poor. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was reluctant to go to those places by the already rare Chinese.

Otherwise, if a hundred people die, it will be really painful.

Of course, there are gold mines in these places. Even though they knew that the living conditions there were not good, they were lured by the gold and lured to go willingly.

In this way, they became the vanguard of Daming's development of Australia. Later, when the conditions are good and all the infrastructure is built well, it will be possible to receive Chinese immigrants on a large scale.

At this time, the big mountain village of Haihe Town. The first mayor of the town, Gu Li Yang, was riding the only little donkey in the village, carrying a new-style musket on his back, and walking on the freshly leveled road with high spirits. Behind him, not only the village chief of Dashan Village, but also the various administrative officials of the town.

Don't look at Haihe Town as just a town, but the scope of jurisdiction is huge. The entire Murray-Darling Basin is under its control. And that's not counting the great desert in the northwest. Important Australian cities such as Melbourne, Adelaide, and Canberra in later generations are all included.

It's just that on the current map of Daming, except for Adelaide, which has been changed to Haihe Town, there is still grass growing in other places.

In addition, Haihe Town is also the earliest town in the new five towns, so it has a scale of more than 2,000 people. Together with the scattered villages, there are more than 5,000 people.

However, Haihe Town is still too far away from Hope City, so the development of various infrastructure is extremely slow. Except for the merchant ships that come every month, send some supplies, and let Haihe Town know something about the outside world, other times, they are isolated from the outside world.

Although it is possible to develop land transportation, it will undoubtedly cost a lot of manpower and material resources. In the case of the shortage of manpower in the Ming Dynasty, there was no energy to build national highways.

So many times, Haihe Town is like an isolated island.

For example, because of the difficulty of traffic, the road has not been transported with the cement it wants, and the road surface cannot be hardened.

Thinking of this, he was a little worried.

I still remember that before leaving, he made a guarantee in front of the president and senior cabinet officials. Within two years, Haihe Town will definitely be on the right track.

At that time, the president and senior cabinet officials also advised him not to make such assurances, lest it be difficult to implement them. But he felt that since he was elected as the mayor of Haihe Town, he had to make some achievements in order to live up to the expectations and trust placed on him by the president and senior cabinet officials.

It's no wonder that he dares to boast about Haikou like this.

Because of the speed of construction of Hope City, he has seen it with his own eyes. Know what a miracle is! That's why he believes that as long as he dares to do it, nothing can't be done.

But when he came to Haihe Town, he was hit.

The town is full of wooden houses, and the roads are muddy. In addition, most of the people in the town were gold diggers, so they were also dirty and tattered, which made him think that he had come to a beggar's den.

This is the case in a town, and the countryside below can be imagined.

Therefore, he began to make a big visit and a big investigation since he took office. The nineteen natural villages below Haihe Town were all inspected.

And this big mountain village, because it is located in the upper reaches of the Murray River, at the foot of the Great Dividing Range, is remote. So it's the latest.

When they came to the village, villagers of different colors were already standing on both sides of the village road to welcome them. But they were all dusty, apparently fresh from the mines.

And their expressions are also impatient, impatient, and impatient. Squeezing a fake smile as hard as he could, he looked weirdly tight.

Seeing this, Gu Liyang followed the example of the presidential parade, waved to the villagers, and then said a few words of encouragement.

It's just that the villagers are still in high spirits and have few responses. He was too embarrassed to say any more. And he let the crowd disperse.

Instantly, the crowd erupted in cheers and laughter.

Then, without even returning home, they rushed to the gold mine outside the village.

It seems that the charm of gold is incomparable to that of Gu Liyang, the village chief.
