September 1643

In order to speed up the pace of immigration, but also to reduce the pressure on Guangzhou, Australia signed a secret agreement with the Governor's Office of Guangzhou, and Shen Youlong came forward to mediate and persuade refugees and immigrants.

This plan was a good result for both the government and the gentry in Guangzhou, because the increase in the number of refugees would inevitably increase the pressure on the county towns, and at the same time, the factors of instability would also increase dramatically.

For many refugees, the main reason for going south is that there is no war here and it is relatively safe, and there are rumors that there are people from Australia who will distribute food, so many people follow the big team blindly all the way south to Liangguang regardless of whether it is true or not.

When they arrived in Liangguang, they learned that it was already overcrowded, and there were not a few people who had the same idea as them, and there were many of them, and not everyone had food to eat in Liangguang, and the queue waiting for food at the government relief point every day could be lined up from the east of the city to the west of the city.

Moreover, the government does not distribute food every day, and the current world is in turmoil, and there is no surplus food in Liangguang to relieve the victims.

When the government arrived, it was said that as long as you immigrate to Australia, you will have food to eat, land to grow, and build a house there.

How can there be such a good thing in this world, many people don't believe it, and the most important thing is that I don't know where the Australian Fanbang is, but there are a few people who claim to come back from Australia, and they wear a table of people who touch dogs, but who knows if it is the government to pretend to be.

So many people are reluctant to emigrate even if they are hungry, but in September, after Shen Youlong officially signed an immigration agreement with Australia, the porridge stalls for relief began to decrease, and the government posted notices due to the sharp increase in the number of refugees. The grain reserves in Guangxi and Guangxi have been seriously insufficient, so the soup soup has been suspended.

This stop is terrible, it has the meaning of making a fuss, many people have been in line for a few days and it is almost their turn, this suddenly there is no one, how can it be unbearable.

However, the government has also prepared it for a long time. A large number of soldiers just surround you and don't do anything, as long as you dare to make trouble, they will arrest you.

After a few days of surrounding, this person has nothing to eat and where to suffer, he can't be full by just drinking water, and he will be directly gone after one or two soak of urine, and some of them can't stand it, so they just want to immigrate.

It's good to emigrate, the soldiers don't let you go to the left. There is the registration point for Australians, after registering and drawing, you will be given a bowl of porridge, and then there will be Australian soldiers to assemble you in a place, and when it is full, they will all head towards Guangzhou.

The situation here is similar, the situation here is more straightforward, after a few meals to recuperate, the Australians will take you on board. Tell you it's going to Australia.

Many people cry and cry at the moment they get on the boat, looking at the houses and strangers behind them. Although this is not my hometown, but this is at least in the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is not when I go to Australia, and Australia has to be arrived by boat, many northerners are landlubbers, so it is inevitable that they are a little scared.

The sounds of crying and shouting rise and fall with each other, like a sad accompaniment to parting. However, this is a very good thing for the government personnel of Liangguang, as long as these refugees are sent away, the Australians will privately give them a tael of silver, although it is not much, but the amount is large. So Shen Youlong didn't have much objection to this matter.

Otherwise, with the nature of Lao Shen's scholar, this matter cannot be done, and such a thing as selling compatriots would be enough to eat if he participated in a book.

Liangguang secretly owes Australia a huge amount of money, and it is difficult to pay off the customs tax by mortgage alone, so the Australians gave him an idea, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, what is lacking is population, and the land is fertile and the area that can be cultivated is huge, as long as Shen Yulong agrees, let Australia immigrate on a large scale, Australia will give each one or two silver introduction fees to offset the arrears.

Shen Youlong pondered, if this is really the case, it is indeed a good thing, it is not a matter for these people to stay here all the time, it is not a bad thing to let them go to Australia, those immigrants who immigrated to Australia in the early years and are now accomplished, Shen Youlong has learned about it, and it is basically true.

Proceeding from the consideration of the facts, Shen Youlong agreed to the Australian's proposal, but this matter cannot be made public, cannot be compulsory, can only be voluntary, otherwise he will definitely not agree.

For these refugees, going to Australia is also an act of self-reliance, and it is said that the place where the immigrants used to go is not far away, just a little past Luzon, that place has also been there before, and there have been fishermen there for a long time, and now it is occupied by Australians, so they urgently need people to fill this place.

The refugees of the Ming Dynasty are a very good choice for them, Australia and the Ming Dynasty are in the same lineage, with the same blood in the body, and everyone will naturally be much closer than the local natives.

The conditions given by the Australians are indeed rich, as long as the land is distributed according to the population, as well as five households and a ploughing cow, this ration can be said to be quite good, and the Australians have money, if there is no ploughing ox for five households in the Ming Dynasty, at least ten households.

Therefore, it is very good to go to Australia, although Shen Youlong did not come forward to persuade him personally, but the officials below knew that the governor supported this practice and secretly signed an agreement with the Australians, so this shouting thing was naturally handed over to them to do.

With the shouting of the government, in addition to the hungry and hungry, the vast majority of people still choose to go to Australia, after all, many people want to be bad and can flee back, although across the vast sea, but there must be a boat to come back.

In this way, the first batch of refugees from all over the two provinces were assembled and loaded onto the ship, boarded Zhao De's sea ship, and headed for Malacca.

More than 20 sea ships, each of which is full, of course, also ensures a certain amount of breathing space, the sea migrants are most afraid of crowding people and finally die in the cabin, so Australia specially explained, do not pretend to be so many people, to ensure that everyone is alive in Malacca, and the transportation party is also responsible for providing food and drink along the way.

These refugees have food and drink, except for some reluctance to leave their hometowns, they really don't have any other ideas, or even want to do, and now they are only looking forward to one thing, that is, when they arrive in Australia, which the government says they can really live a good life in.

Everyone has land, everyone has food, this is the wish of many landless peasants, and it is also what they have always wanted, in fact, for them to have these is the greatest satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
