With the arrival of the new immigrants, the already sparsely populated Australian mainland finally feels less lonely, and with the Executive Committee's goal of immigrating at least 10,000 people a year, it will only take a few years for the Manchester City base to become a real town.

With a steady stream of people arriving, the Travelers will be able to train more skilled workers and pass on their skills and knowledge to build a powerful Australian empire. At this time, the Ming immigrants have not yet passed a month from the observation period stipulated by the Ministry of Health, but the discussion with them has already begun.

"We provide him with food and shelter, and it costs such a lot of money to ship to Australia, shouldn't we recover the cost, at least this part of the money should be included in their personal settlement fee loan, which can be paid in installments with low interest rates, and for those who have performed well and indeed made a contribution, I think it is okay to forgive part of the loan."

"He is our compatriot, not anyone else, we shouldn't treat them like this, their arrival will also create wealth for us, how can it be for nothing."

"The freight of two hundred taels of silver for one person, plus the cost of shipping back the Shanghai Blue Number, the cost of one person is close to two hundred and sixty taels of silver, and now it is only more than a thousand people, and we will definitely be dragged down or even bankrupt if there are more in the future, we are not doing charity."

"They are not commodities, they are people, how can they be measured by money."

In the office of the executive committee, Hu Xijing and a hot-headed man named Qian Yuanzhong were debating their views fiercely.

Qian Yuanzhong is said to be a caring person before the crossing, but it is certain that he belongs to the type of love overflowing, and it can be seen from his performance that he was there when he first wanted to give indigenous human rights, and then to recently, knowing that the Ministry of Health has a clear rule that other than non-staff members are not allowed to approach during the immigration observation period.

But in this way, he still secretly went to the border quarantine station of the Ministry of Health, what to do, to send them food, just to send some food to these Ming refugees, will the Ministry of Health not provide food for these people, he does this a little regardless of whether he will be infected with any disease that causes the entire base to be infected, this kind of love is not flooding.

I don't know where he heard the news that the executive committee will spread the cost of transporting the refugees back to Daming to everyone equally, and then exchange it for a personal loan to recover the cost.

Qian Yuanzhong, who was overflowing with love, thought about it, isn't this a disguised exploitation of others, using free labor, using free indigenous labor, and now he actually hit the idea on his compatriots Daming refugees, is this still a person, people have to go to Australia to make a living because of disasters, and you still have to exploit others.

At this time, Qian Yuanzhong was like a warrior representing justice, declaring war on the forces of evil. In short, you are exploiting, forgetting your ancestors.

From Qian Yuanzhong's point of view, in fact, he thinks that he is not wrong, everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, since we have the ability to let our compatriots live a good life, why don't we help for free, and let people give money, so even if we help, it is not good.

This kind of thinking is the same as some people in China who read some news and saw a certain Chinese-American make remarks in support of the United States, thinking that the other party is wrong, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, even if he was born in the United States, he should speak for his home country, but from the position of that Chinese-American, he was born in the United States, and the education he received since childhood was American-style education, and the United States is his mother country in his heart.

It is difficult to persuade a caring person like Qian Yuanzhong, only to guide from another angle, and let him truly understand the harm of exempting immigrants from all resettlement fees, he will be voluntarily convinced, obviously, Hu Da Meinu was dizzy by him, and failed to think of this aspect for a while.

"Section Chief Qian, which part of the work are you currently responsible for?" Zhao Shijie, who was sitting opposite Qian Yuanzhong, suddenly stood up, walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder, this action almost made Qian Yuanzhong mistakenly think that he was trying to help his girlfriend teach him a lesson.

After a short period of stunned, Qian Yuanzhong replied: "At present, I am mainly responsible for the civil affairs work of the Manchester City base. ”

In fact, Zhao Shijie, as a member of the executive committee, asked Qian Yuanzhong a little knowingly, but he must first find an entry point and influence his attention elsewhere before he can implement his plan next.

The so-called civil affairs is attached to the Civil Affairs Section under the Executive Committee, with only 5 staff members, mainly responsible for civil disputes in the base, and environmental sanitation, marriage and building and other approval work, don't take care of many miscellaneous things, but there is not much real power, which is also related to the fact that the current Manchester City base is too small, and it is not called a town at all.

Most of the time, the staff of the Civil Affairs Section act as enthusiastic aunts in the community neighborhood office, and they come to work with the cold and warmth, so sometimes Qian Yuanzhong will even go to the indigenous barracks to bring them food.

"The Home Affairs Section, this is the department that manages the welfare of all the people in the entire Manchester City base and the environmental sanitation of the community streets, an important department, if the Manchester City base expands in the future and establishes a social insurance system for residents, then your workload will be even greater."

"Yes, a lot of work can't be carried out now, and when the population of the base expands, there will definitely be more things to do in the Civil Affairs Section, and I'm afraid that the five staff members will be too busy at that time, and the Executive Committee is not considering adding a few more people to us." Hearing that he was talking about the Civil Affairs Department he managed, Qian Yuanzhong immediately followed Zhao Shijie's words and said that he had few people and wanted to get people up, and he forgot what the main purpose of his coming here was today.

"People, it will definitely be added to you, Section Chief Qian, you can rest assured that you really can't do it when we are Zhou Peeling." Zhao Shijie said with a smile: "Now there is a job, and several committee members and I feel that we should let you go to make a report first, about the inclusion of all Manchester City residents in social pension insurance, you will make a hypothetical plan report based on the development of Manchester City's economy and population and tax revenue in the next five years, and see how many people can be included." ”

"This, this, isn't it a little too early?"

Qian Yuanzhong looked at Zhao Shijie with some embarrassment, now let him assume that five years later, he is not studying economics, there are many economic problems involved, how can he do civil affairs work alone.

"It's not early, we have immigrated so many people, if you want them to stay and identify with Australia, you must give them a higher welfare treatment than their own country, so that people will stay with peace of mind, and it is necessary for you to make a plan in advance."

"Oh" Qian Yuanzhong replied as if he didn't understand, and walked out of the office of the executive committee.

When the people walked away, Zhou Aiguo and the others looked at Zhao Shijie and gave a thumbs up, this time Xiaoqian had something to do, "I'm afraid that he will come to ask for the resettlement fee when the time comes." ”
