Chapter 469: A Desolation

For many refugees, Australia is full of imagination, it is a paradise, there is food, drink and all kinds of food, but when they get off the boat and board the Malacca dock, which has been renovated and expanded.

For the farmers who don't have any appreciation for the dung style here, they feel that this place is not as big as Guangzhou City, and the houses are also fancy and not good-looking at all, and the weather in this place is a little hotter than Guangzhou.

But these questions were not the most important, and when they got off the boat, there were people in white coats covering their faces and showing their two eyes towards them, and the meaning of that was to tell everyone not to wander around, and to separate men and women and enter the small rooms on the left and right.

The cabin over there was a change of clothes for them to bathe, and everyone had to soak in the bath for fifteen minutes. It is said that the fleas on their bodies are to be killed, and the thing will grow in size when it arrives, and it will be fatal when it bites.

The staff of the Malacca Immigration and Foreign Affairs Department are in the same vein as the Australian Ministry of Health, so the methods are almost the same, everyone comes from the same school, and as for those who make up to deceive new immigrants, they are also similar, basically there is no difference.

For the sake of life, generally speaking, many people will be obedient and obedient, as for the question of whether men keep their hair, there are no clear rules and requirements in Australia now, only requiring everyone to wash their hair with sulfur soap before they can come out.

This approach is supported by many people, because it is really difficult to persuade new immigrants to get a haircut.

The Viceroyalty of Malacca has basically settled in place for these new arrivals, and the melancholy of the aboriginal tribes outside the city has been cleared of the corpses and some messy items, and the Malacca government's intention is to distribute the thatched houses where the aborigines live to the settlers.

Theoretically, this is not fraud, and in ancient times, most peasants lived in thatched houses. Those who can live in brick and wood structures are relatively wealthy.

After the disinfection, looking at the crowd of black presses, there were at least a thousand people, and He Yu, who was responsible for recruiting recruits in the emigration, asked Makarov to go over and recruit people.

Makarov held a makeshift megaphone and shouted for recruitment. The various conditions offered are very favorable, and if there is a male in the family, you can even be exempted from paying taxes for three years, which is indeed a good thing for the whole family to immigrate.

Although it is risky to be a soldier and eat food, it is still very attractive to be able to pay taxes for three years, after all, this is not available everywhere, and there is another advantage of being an Australian soldier, there is a monthly living allowance, which is also a lot of money.

For a lot of newcomer families. Every additional amount of money is a matter of whether you will live well in the future.

After resting for a day in the open-air camp at the dock, early the next morning, the soldiers of the army were responsible for leading each family to the designated village, and for the name of each village and the village head, Australia let them make their own peace and election, and finally the elected person only had to be ready to tell the government about everyone's demands.

Some people were overjoyed to hear that they would soon be able to get land, for the temptation of land was always greater than wealth. Because generations have lived a life facing the loess with their backs to the sky, the degree of love for the land is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Some of the brave began to ask the soldiers around them. There's not a lot of land here, and it's not enough to grow it yourself.

The Australian soldier who immigrated in his early years just snickered.

If you don't plant enough, you won't be able to plant, and the Malacca government has a rule that in addition to the proportional distribution of land for each family, every three acres of wasteland reclaimed by immigrants will be reclaimed. You can get one acre of favorable conditions, which simply makes people's blood swell.

Don't underestimate the potential of these people, if you really do it, you can really achieve it.

When you leave the city, you can see the endless forests and the few wastelands, and you feel that this place is simply too barren. Apart from the woods, there are hardly any other crops to be seen.

It can even be said that it is difficult to see even a single figure, and it is unbelievable that there is no one in such a large area, but soon after they were taken to the place where they lived, some people understood that this place should have been inhabited before, but then they left for unknown reasons, as can be seen by looking at these thatched huts and hunting tools used.

Some experienced farmers can tell whether the land is good or not, and whether it is suitable for growing crops or not, just by grabbing the ground with their hands.

After the test of the soil method, many people have come to the conclusion that marriage is very suitable, and it is not a problem to grow three crops of rice a year in this hot place.

It is naturally good for the immigrants to have such an idea, because after all, the future of this place depends on them to grow, and whether Malacca can develop into a big granary depends on them.

So as long as the immigrants want to farm the land, that's a good thing, and the government will provide you with everything else, and you will have all the seeds for farming.

Immigrants who originally dreamed of how prosperous Australia was when they saw the barren village with only the forest left, they had no idea, this place is a good place, as long as they are willing to endure hardships and farm, it will definitely be planted, so it is better to work hard to farm, where are those other virtual things where the land is valuable, Australia is useless in prosperity.

The reason why the Malacca government agreed to large-scale immigration is that it is positioned as an agricultural granary, and secondly, all the immigration subsidies are funded by the local government, so it can be said that they do not need to pay at all, they only need to manage them.

With these conditions, it is no wonder that the Malacca Metropolitan Government does not agree, so they are strongly supportive of local government policies.

In addition, in order to make the living space of the immigrants larger, the garrison troops are still constantly sweeping, and the He language troops, which have been expanded to the size of one battalion, are now authorized to expand again to the size of two battalions.

At this rate, He Yu is likely to become the first regimental commander in Australian history, so he will lead people to recruit soldiers among immigrants, and as the territory expands, the number of troops will also increase.

At the same time, the military police in Malacca are also stepping up training, He Yu's troops will return to the Ming battlefield sooner or later, and the defense here will fall into a hole, so the military and police will become the main defense force, after all, the Dutch have been opposed to Australia's current behavior, for these refugees, He Yu also has a task is to establish a grassroots militia, one can protect the safety of the village, and the other is to act as a defensive force when the main force withdraws.
