Chapter 219: Self-reliance

Located in the southeast of Australia, Tang City, that is, Melbourne, has been formally established for more than half a year, although the total population is only a town of more than 500 people, but its formal administrative level is much higher than the Panzhihua Town established earlier, belonging to the prefecture-level city.

The reason why it is called Tang City is to commemorate one of the greatest dynasties in Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty, because of its appearance, so that the world officially knew the existence of China.

At present, except for the newly built houses along the coast, the urban area of Tangcheng City is still barren at a glance, and there is hardly any human figure to be seen, even if the aborigines are not seen in half of it, long before the official establishment of the city here, the National Guard and the Army sent a company of soldiers to carry out the task of clearing the surrounding area within a radius of 50 kilometers.

In order to ensure the safety of the new inhabitants in this generation, they searched almost all possible indigenous places, and whenever they found the indigenous tribes, they uprooted them, and all men, women, and children were escorted back to the Donton station, just as the labor used for the construction of new urban infrastructure.

Even with the indigenous people they captured as laborers, the current labor shortage in Tangcheng is still quite huge, and the government has not sent a second batch of construction workers to assist them, except for sending a 20-member construction team to assist them.

So this group of hundreds of natives, it is a great honor to be the mayor of Tangcheng, Bai Dong has been focused on training, in his thirties, Lao Bai was a small secretary of a municipal party committee office before crossing, although he has not been delegated to serve as a member of the governing party, but he also has some understanding of the management of the city and construction, and he is on the job with the training at the Manchester City Political College.

Bai Dong, who had no one and no one to come, had to exert the spirit of self-reliance and hard work, leading the immigrants who came to settle down to build his own houses and public infrastructure during the day, and at night, some of them were responsible for teaching the hundreds of natives how to use tools.

Traversal now has a complete set of methods for teaching indigenous people, and it takes less than a month to train these indigenous people in the Stone Age to become a beginner craftsman.

The supply of three meals a day, good food and drink, whoever learns quickly and does well, can eat and drink enough and enjoy additional treatment, while those who can't learn to do badly will be punished, sometimes even only one meal a day or even only water a day,

If this is the case, the natives who lived in the Stone Age by collecting wild fruits and other food could still bear it, but these outsiders hatefully let those who were rewarded eat not far in front of them, and the smell of meat that came with the air was unbearable.

Of course, there are also those who try to resist, but they will be served by the soldiers' ruthless butts, and after so many times, all the natives have begun to learn to study seriously, knowing that every day can be exchanged for a good life, and some slippery people have even learned to please these outsiders, although the language is temporarily incomprehensible, but they will always nod their heads and smile, showing a row of yellow teeth.

With the participation of these indigenous people, the housing projects of Tangcheng residents soon sprung up one after another under the construction of three shifts and two downs.

This speed is quite proud even in later generations, because these constructions basically rely on manpower, if the aborigines can be completely liberated to become a member of the Australian people after a few years, maybe their descendants will feel the difficulty of their ancestors, and they may also feel proud of their ancestors, because almost all the cities in Australia have their figures, and they can even proudly say that every city has the bones of their ancestors.

Of course, these are just assumptions, the most important thing now is the construction and future of Tang City, without a construction team, Bai Dong can train the natives to become qualified construction workers, but it is not so easy to cultivate the self-hematopoietic function of Tang City in the future.

The state proposed the construction of Tangcheng only to establish a reliable base in the southeast coastal area, and there was only a vague plan for how to develop it, and it was the mayor who had to come up with the specifics.

These days, the construction work is not so heavy, and he is also accompanied by several army soldiers to ride around the area to make a survey and decide on the future construction goals of Tang City.

Through investigation, he basically has a rough development plan, and the grassland area around the entire Tangcheng urban area is quite vast, and the forest coverage rate is much larger than that of later generations.

But Melbourne is an important industrial city in Australia, the paper and chemical electronics industry is quite developed, now to develop these can be basically impossible, Australia does not have that foundation at present, even if the power problem is not solved in Tangcheng City, these completely rely on the development of electricity industry does not need to think at all, maybe in the future power development can be included in the future development plan.

In a simple house in Tang City, Bai Dong spread out the map he had drawn in front of the table, sliding back and forth on it with a pen as if marking something.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, put down the pen gently, and said to himself with a smile on his face: Why didn't I think of developing animal husbandry, Australia was originally a famous animal husbandry country in later generations, in addition to exporting minerals, animal husbandry is almost one of Australia's pillar industries.

Thinking of this, Bai Dong quickly picked up the pen and quickly wrote his development plan in a notebook next to him.

At present, although Australia has a small number of dairy cows and sheep, but to say that it really relies on animal husbandry to establish a city, Manchester City's main development direction is industrial and technological innovation, and Panzhihua's main development is related to steel smelting and mining.

As for Christmas Island, it is mainly supported by trade and entertainment, and it is clear from these cities that almost every city has its own development focus. The development focus of Tangcheng City can be mainly placed on animal husbandry.

Establish sheep grazing of different sizes, dairy farming, horse breeding, relying on these, Tangcheng can carry out deep processing of milk in the future, such as milk powder, toffee, etc., wool can be made into warm woolen sweaters and other items, in addition to being sold to other cities internally, it can also be exported to all over the world, and at that time Tangcheng can really be counted as a big city of animal husbandry.

Whether or not you can seize this opportunity now depends entirely on your own self-reliance, Bai Dong thinks about a bright future, and seems to have seen his name become the symbol of Tang City, wherever he hears the name Tang Cheng in the future, he will think of the entrepreneurial scene when Bai Dong led the first batch of citizens to become self-reliant, and even praised him when he was full of praise.
