Chapter 557: Reform and Opening-up

October 4, 1644

Huang Fu officially arrived in Guangzhou, and the journey was quite smooth and did not encounter an assassination incident, which can be regarded as letting down a lot of the star carried by Shen Youlong and King Gui.

As long as people arrive in Guangzhou, they will be safe, and the safety factor of Guangzhou City can be said to be in the first place in the entire Liangguang, if it is not safe to reach the safety here, then Shen Youlong himself is also dangerous.

In fact, there is no need for Shen Youlong to send people to protect it, the people of the Australian Department of Homeland Security have formulated a detailed protection plan, as early as before Huang Fu's visit, they have carried out a reconnaissance and deployment of the entire Liangguang, and the place and time of the convoy are to be understood, which is a necessary process for the national leaders to go out to visit.

Moreover, the battles of those bodyguards around Huang Fu are not low, they are all elite fighters in the Security Bureau.

King Gui and Shen Youlong waited outside to greet Huang Fu before he entered the city, and the streets were already under martial law by soldiers, and everything would not end until the convoy passed.

The common people also knew that there were important people visiting, and even the governor and King Gui had come out, so this person's level must not be low.

It is said that it is from Australia, it is the first assistant of Australia, many people are standing on the street to watch and hope to take a look at the Australian officials, the five-star red flag has been hung on both sides of the street at this time, these things are learned from Zhang Tianwen.

To say that Shen Youlong is still relatively civilized, and being able to put down the **** shelf to meet Huang Fu fully explains that it is very good.

And it can be so subtle, which is not in the previous history of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Fu arrived outside the city gate of Guangzhou, got out of the car and shook hands with Gui Wang, Shen Youlong and other officials one by one, and expressed his gratitude for welcoming them.

After a brief exchange of minutes at the city gate, King Gui accompanied Huang Fuqin into the Liangguang Governor's Palace in the same carriage.

As the nominal supreme leader of Liangguang, King Gui is still qualified to accompany him, otherwise letting Shen Youlong sit on it will give people a little bit of a meaning that he doesn't take King Gui seriously.

Although King Gui is a puppet, he still knows basic royal etiquette, at least in terms of nonsense.

When I knew that Huang Fu was born to open a restaurant. He was very surprised, this Australian Shoufu is actually a restaurant, this is too surprising, I originally thought that the Australian inheritance of the former Song Dynasty, even if it is a little different, but it will not change anywhere, but now it seems that the change is not a little.

But no matter what, one thing is for sure, Huang Fu's knowledge is very high. You can talk about anything, from the Four Books and Five Classics to the myths and stories of ancient times, to folk snacks, he can chat with you happily.

So King Gui didn't dare to despise the other party, at least people had this talent, and there were some things that he hadn't even heard of.

Entering the Governor's Palace, Shen Youlong was the protagonist, and King Gui took his leave in the name of arranging a dinner party, in fact, in order to free up time for Shen Youlong to talk to him.

"Huang Guo has been going all the way, and I am still satisfied with the customs and customs of our two Guangzhous." Shen Youlong asked with a smile.

"Yes. The land of Liangguang has always been famous for eating, and I don't hide it from Lord Shen, my ancestor is also from Guangzhou Mansion, so this time I came back to my homeland, although the Huang family wandered overseas to take root. But I have never forgotten the place where my ancestors lived. ”

Huang Fu's nonsense kung fu is no worse than Zhao Shijie and others, they all say that those who open restaurants can talk, and now it seems that this guy can not only talk but also have a political vision, otherwise he would not be able to become the secretary of state.

"Oh. Huang Guo's ancestral home is Liangguang," Shen Youlong deliberately showed a look of surprise, in fact, he had already done it. I know that Huang Fu's ancestral home is Guangzhou.

Now this expression is just for the rest of the conversation.

"Exactly, Huang's ancestral home is Guangzhou, Lord Shen can say that we Australia and Daming have formally established diplomatic relations this time, and when your personnel stationed in Manchester City are in place, then the communication between the two sides will be more unimpeded."

"Yes, the staff of the Consulate General I will send to Australia as soon as possible, this time it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to let the Huang Kingdom visit, when the Zhiqi nation is in danger, the Ming Dynasty also needs the help of the brotherly country."

In order for the two Guangxi to develop, if they want to unify the south and march into the north, they must make some changes, and this change must learn from external methods.

Although the reform of the two Guangxi provinces has borrowed a lot of Hong Kong's policies, Hong Kong is too small after all, and it can be said that it is not qualified to fully apply to the two Guangzhou.

Zhang Tianwen had already submitted a report to Lao Shen in the early stage of contact, saying that the two Guangxi should carry out reform and opening up, carry out comprehensive reforms, and fundamentally reformulate the system of the two Guangzhous, so as to double the tax burden of the two Guangzhous.

This reform needs to be carried out in an orderly manner, and it cannot be forced, after all, the gentry is strong, Lao Shen knows, and the most important thing at present is to develop basic foundry enterprises.

However, according to Zhang Tianwen's disclosure, because of the shrinking of the international market, the sales of various products are actually not optimistic.

At present, this characteristic planting industry is still in a blank state in the local and overseas markets of Australia, and it should be very suitable.

Fruits and the like have always been very few in Australia, and if the two Guangxi can grow a large number of fruits for export, it will greatly improve the living standards of the people in Australia.

In addition to growing fruit, it was necessary to develop commerce, to increase taxes on merchants, and to provide them with corresponding status.

Although Australia's export industry has declined sales due to the impact of the war environment in the region, the market is still there, but it is shrinking.

The area controlled by the two Guangxi is relatively stable at present, and the people's purchasing strength is still quite large, which is still a good choice for Australian investors.

One of the main objectives of Huang Fulai Guangzhou is to negotiate the establishment of an industrial zone in Guangzhou, which will only be established as a pilot project, and if it is good, to attract more Australian domestic investors to invest.

Lord Shen, you have also learned about the reform and opening up of the two Guangzhou, and now we are going to talk about the establishment of pilot industrial zones, which is inseparable from the cooperation between the two Guangzhou.

The establishment of the industrial park can be said to be related to the land acquisition and the problems that the government came forward to solve, which need to be solved by Shen Yulong, and he must solve the land problem before Australian investors can invest.

The initial plan is to requisition 2,000 acres of land, and it will be larger in the later stage, which is to change the field into a factory, it is not easy to convince those landlords, and there are also those farmers who farm the land, so it is also a very difficult thing to do, but for Lao Shen, who wants to develop the two Guangxi well, he has to do it even if it is difficult.
