The expansion of the first company into a battalion-level unit in Malacca also made many people who immigrated from the Ming Dynasty feel a little uneasy because of the unfamiliar environment, which is a lot smaller, after all, the army has brought them a sense of security, which is obvious to all.

Australian soldiers are kind and kind, never occupy their status and oppress the people casually, and sometimes take the initiative to help some people in need, which is absolutely not seen in the Ming Dynasty.

With the increase in immigration, Malacca's future hematopoietic function is also on the agenda, and the increase in population will inevitably lead to an increase in food consumption.

After He Yu's clearance action, there is now a large area of empty and uninhabited land outside the city waiting to be developed by the new immigrants, and these lands will definitely become fertile land if they are replanted for a year or two.

In the early days, Malacca was mainly based on trade transit, but with the establishment of a steam shipyard project in cooperation with the Dutch, the development of manufacturing has become another development goal of the Malacca government, and some efforts have also been made to attract foreign investment.

With the tightening of Hong Kong immigration, Malacca and the mainland were able to bring in many refugees and merchants from the Ming Dynasty.

With a large amount of money coming in, a qualified government leadership will certainly not let the money lie in the pockets of the group of people or in the bank, which will be of no use to Malacca at all.

In order to invest the money that is deposited in the bank or in the pockets of the immigrants, the government must first have a development plan so that everyone can see what kind of benefits they will get from investing here.

Take the shipyard as an example, the land around it has been expropriated and auctioned by the government, and a large goods trading market will be built here, so naturally the houses built here will have investment value.

Only when they see the value of the investment will others invest in it.

Of course, this is just a small plan of the Malacca government, according to their current plan, they want to build a small cigarette factory here, as well as sugar processing, etc. But to invest in these, you first need money, and the government certainly doesn't have that much to invest.

According to the analysis of the Malacca government, if a sugar processing plant can be built here, it can be exported directly to Indochina, although this will divert local tourists to a certain extent, but at the same time, it will also reduce the local due to insufficient production, transportation costs, high export prices and other factors.

You must know that the sugarcane cultivation in Australia is actually not large, and most of it is purchased from Southeast Asia and Dayuan Island. At present, there are several private companies in Southeast Asia to establish large-scale planting bases, and in terms of cost, processing in Malacca is much cheaper than transporting raw materials back to the country.

The price will naturally be reduced a lot, and there is absolutely no problem in reducing the price to expand sales, and it can also be sold locally, but in this case, the local state-owned sugar factory may go out of business, but for Australia with a market economy, if he does not carry out reforms, he can only accept the impact of the market.

The market will determine the survival or death of a company, and it is clear that the Malacca government has set its sights on this part of the market, and the development of sugar processing will be one of their main goals. And there is a lot of land in Malacca, so much so that the current government does not know what to deal with it.

Since there is a preliminary plan for positioning, it is necessary to make a theme pillar industry, whether to develop agriculture or light industry, so that the Malacca government has fallen into a difficult situation.

To develop light industry, it is necessary to have a certain amount of plant construction. In addition to sugar mill processing, such as garment making and other industries need to be developed to become pillar industries, which is obviously impossible, and light industry can only become auxiliary industries.

If you want those local companies to come here to open branches. It's too unlikely, one is the issue of construction funds, and the other is that the local government will not agree. Once the factory is relocated, there will be no jobs for the new immigrants in the country.

Therefore, agricultural development and trade transit are the way for Malacca to take in the future, only agriculture will not overlap with the local economy, so this will not be the case.

Traditionally, Malacca is still a city that combines agriculture and trade, and there are not many handicrafts, so it is better to do traditional agriculture to its advantage.

There were sugar cane plantations planted by the Dutch and Portuguese in the early days, and if the planting area was increased, the construction of a sugar processing plant would be ideal.

Several of the island's largest sugar plantations have been acquired by the Malacca government, two of which have been contracted to the Yang family, a local Chinese family, and the government is encouraging new immigrants to continue to grow their plantations.

As a result of the publicity, some people bought a lot of land to grow sugar cane.

However, the situation is still not optimistic, this sugarcane can be fried sugar, everyone knows, but whether this kind of thing can be sold for money is a big problem, sugarcane is not as good as grain, everyone has to eat food, this sugarcane is grown even if it is fried sugar, someone needs to buy it.

So many wealthy businessmen are still very worried, after all, they have not been in Malacca for a long time, and they know how big the market is just by looking at the population, not to mention any sales, that is, whether these people will buy it is a problem.

In order to dispel the scruples, the Malacca government had to step in and sign a purchase agreement with the growers, which stipulated that all the sugarcane grown would be purchased by the government at the market price.

With an agreement, it is natural to eliminate scruples, so many people are relieved, after all, the credibility of the Australian government is still there.

As for why there is a guarantee of the credibility of the Australian government, the main reason is that the money they have saved in Hong Kong has been withdrawn here, and the main reason is their trust in the government.

So at this time, the head of the agricultural department in Malacca recommended the planting of rice and potatoes, etc., and they were very obedient to plant the crops promoted by the agricultural department.

You must know that these crops promoted by the agricultural department will sign contracts with them, as long as they are planted well, as soon as the harvest season arrives, it is equivalent to having money, so this can be said to be basically not a loss-making deal. As long as there are no major disasters.

The Malacca government calls this model agricultural cooperatives, that is, the government takes the lead, and the senior companies sign planting contracts for these farmers. (To be continued......)
