The vigorous development of the Red River Valley region is inseparable from the large influx of immigrants, bringing a steady stream of labor to the expanding enterprises, especially the labor-intensive woolen mills, dyeing and finishing factories and other enterprises are the most in demand.

Agricultural and animal husbandry production and infrastructure have absorbed a large number of employed people, bringing prosperity to urban and rural areas.

From the point of view of demographic composition

With the influx of Chinese immigrants in Queensland, by the end of November 1880, Brisbane's population had skyrocketed from more than 100,000 four years earlier to 337,000, and Red River Valley City had developed from zero to Australia's largest city with a population of 485,100, becoming a pair of shining twin cities.

From the perspective of the economy and population size of Australia's top 10 cities;

Red River Valley City ranks first with 485,100 people, more than ninety percent of the population structure is Chinese, and the economic scale and development potential also rank first, and it is the most dazzling star city in the entire Australian continent.

By the end of 1880, the population of the Red River Valley would exceed 500,000, making it the first major city in Australia to exceed 500,000.

Melbourne City ranks second with a population of 431,000, with about 30% Chinese, a slight increase over previous years, but little progress.

Brisbane overtook Sydney in third place, with a population of 337,000 and more than 70% Chinese.

Sydney (excluding the town of Beilun) is a traditional white majority colonial city, but due to conservative and hard-line policy factors, it has lagged far behind, ranking fourth with a population of only 285,500, overtaking the Red River Valley and Brisbane.

In fifth place is the emerging industrial city of Suzaku, which is a 100% Chinese city and an industrial star city.

As the most dazzling satellite city around the Red River Valley City, the first of the suburban cities, Suzaku City is the location of woolen mills and many light industrial zones, the population size has reached 170,000 people, only the wool spinning factory No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 factories have 26,000 employees, business is prosperous, industry is prosperous, is an out-and-out light industry town,

Ranked 6th is Qinglong City, which is located in the Hongshan Mountains surrounded by mountains, the famous Hongshan Reservoir is located in the suburbs of Baihu City, the development of education, science and technology research and development, food processing industry-based city, population of 148,000, Chinese occupy more than 9 percent, is a beautiful scenery, fresh air livable city.

Red River Valley University, which has 13,000 teachers and students, has more than 20 middle schools, including the No. 1 Middle School to the No. 16 Middle School, St. Mary's Middle School, Qinglong Middle School, Yuedong Middle School, and Liangguang Middle School, with more than 50,000 teachers and students, most of whom are mainland street children funded by the "Eagle Project".

Relying on the external scholars and professors of the Red River Valley University, Qinglong City has developed a series of scientific research laboratories serving light industry and heavy industry, and has gradually formed its own scientific research force.

The above six cities are the largest cities in Australia with a population of more than 100,000, followed by the little-known Songjiang Town, with a population of 75,000, ranking seventh, and is still growing rapidly.

In eighth place is Baihu City, home to traditional heavy industry, with a population of 62,300, home to heavy industrial zones such as coal mines, iron mines, coking coal industries and steel mills, and is connected by rail to the Red River Valley and the port area, making it a heavily polluted heavy industrial city.

Ranked ninth is the town of Beilun on the Constency Plateau on the north shore of Sydney, which has developed into a new port town with a population of 42,300 due to the construction of the coastal railway, the construction of the port, and the settlement of the fourth woolen factory.

Beilun Town is close to Sydney, relying on Sydney's good education, transportation and trade environment, the development potential is very strong, and the future prospects are bright.

With the passage of the New South Wales Governor's early election bill, the political situation in Sydney at this time is changing, and politicians from all walks of life are singing and I appear, which is very lively.

The original monolithic pattern of Sydney City has quietly melted, and two Chinese have been appointed police sub-chiefs, and a number of well-known Chinese have joined the NSW Home Rule Office to hold important positions, indicating signs of policy loosening.

This is a very gratifying beginning for Li Fushou to exert an important influence and strive to win the rights and interests of the Chinese in the political arena of New South Wales.

Now that the first step has been taken, is 100 steps still far away?

The 10th most populous city is Xuanwu City, with a population of 33,000, which is a fortified town that the Red River Valley must pass through to Brisbane, guarding the entrance to the mountains and next to the mighty Brisbane River.

Some of the traditionally important cities of mainland Australia, such as Adelaide, Darwin, and Cairns, have the largest population of less than 20,000, and the smallest is only six or seven thousand.

These cities have lagged behind in population size and economic development, and have been overtaken by a series of string of pearl farming and pastoralism towns in the southern part of the Red River Valley, ranking only sixteen or seventeenth or even lower in the city rankings, drowning in a large list of emerging towns.

As for Perth, the capital of Western Australia, with a population of less than 3,000 people, it has already ranked outside the 35th, and it has no sense of existence.

The entire urban pattern of Australia has formed a situation in which wolves led by the Red River Valley besiege the two traditional old cities of Melbourne and Sydney, and the torrent of immigrants from the mainland has fiercely impacted the traditional white dominated social structure, slowly changing quantitatively into qualitative changes.

Under the strong appeal and impetus of Lord Earl Queensland, the states have abolished the restrictive policies on immigration, and treated the large influx of new immigrants with a relatively fair attitude.

The benefits of policy easing are extremely obvious.

Change took place at all levels of society, from Sydney to Melbourne, from Brisbane to Cairns, where Chinese walked the streets with their heads held high, and no white man dared to despise and provoke them, otherwise they would pay the price.

The police take sides in handling related matters, and new Chinese immigrants can complain at the Hongmen rudder in Australia, which is the maiden home of the Hongmen brothers, and will naturally protect the legitimate rights and interests of their brothers.

Hongmen is backed by the powerful Earl of Queensland, and has a very tough attitude towards such matters, with a special agency to deal with complaints, and there are not a few white employees who have lost their positions for this reason, which makes Australia's traditional hard-line conservatives extremely jealous.

Unless it is very necessary, no one wants to have a hard fight with the Earl.

After all, the hard power foundation of the Earl of Queensland is there, he is the leader of millions of Chinese, the queen is the only earl nobleman in Australia, blessed by Lord Victor, the richest and largest farmer in Australia, the speaker of the Queensland Parliament, the lord of Hongmen Mountain, the leader of the Zhi Gong Party who represents the interests of immigrants, has a private army of thousands of people, and has inextricable interests with the entire Australian upper class......

Any title and relationship here is taken out, which makes people look up to the mountains and puts an end to the idea of being an enemy with it.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it!

Under the vigorous promotion of Lord Earl Lan of Kunshan, naturalized Chinese have received equal treatment in job search, schooling, business and purchase of assets, and have been deeply integrated into the whole society, and have greatly reduced discrimination and differential treatment, which is a very positive aspect.

More and more prominent figures are entering politics, education and the police service, and the change has spread from Queensland to South Wales and has had a profound impact on Victoria.

Over here

It has to be mentioned that the coastal railway has played a major role as a mainstay of the city, connecting Sydney and the Red River Valley, and has made a great contribution to economic development.

Since the beginning of its construction

The coastal railway has brought a large number of immigrants, funds and materials to the southern towns, and brought a strong demand for overseas markets, which has further promoted the development of agricultural and animal husbandry towns, and at the same time, a huge amount of agricultural and sideline products have smoothly entered the international market, providing continuous and strong impetus for the development of towns.

The development of trade, in turn, has led to the development of a large number of internationally oriented exporters, which in turn has boosted the demand for high-quality agricultural and animal husbandry products and further expanded production.

At present, the Red River Valley has formed an economic cycle in which external demand drives domestic demand, and foreign trade accounts for more than 60% of the economy, forming an export-oriented economic pattern, with domestic demand accounting for less than 1/5.

This vigorous and prosperous scene is what Li Fushou is happy to see, but it is also what he is worried about.

Once the international market is shaken, the economy of the Red River Valley will suffer a major blow, and the economic lifeline will be in the hands of the people.

Reminiscing about the past

Since 1876, when I first set foot on Australian soil, five years have passed unconsciously.

Li Fushou desperately instigated his butterfly wings, bringing great changes to this vast continent in the South Pacific, and has deviated from the original historical trajectory and walked in a new direction.

No one knows what the future holds, Li Fushou has the hope of thousands of people on his shoulders, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

The breeze outside the window blew on his cheeks, stirring the black hair on his head and gently fluttering, this is a young and cold face, and his black eyes look into the distance like a deep pool.

Li Fushou is just 20 years old this year, and there is still a long way to go, and he has full confidence to build Australia into a stronger and richer country than in history, and become a paradise for Chinese immigrants, a Garden of Eden away from mainland politics.

Looking out from the Sky Tower

A magnificent city unfolds in front of you, spreading out in all directions, stretching to the end of the sky, and the Brisbane River in the distance is like a jade belt, nestled in the beautiful downtown of the Red River Valley.

Savor it

The rows of tall urban buildings are full of exotic atmosphere, showing the unique charm of immigrant cities, and architectural art from all over the world gather here, creating this beautiful new city.

As a city boss, Li Fushou is quite complacent about this and cites this as a great achievement in life.

On the desk behind him, there is a proposal to invite famous designers from all over the world to come to the Red River Valley in Australia to participate in the grand event and hold the first "Red River Valley Cup World Architectural Designers Grand Prix".

The proposal was scheduled to be held in the Red River Valley in mid-May 1882.

Red River Valley will widely publicize this unprecedented competition in China, Europe and the United States through newspapers and magazines, and the famous designers who have won the highest honors will be awarded the highest honors. The five-star glorious designer trophy and a heavy prize of 10,000 pounds.

The competition will also set up a second prize; Five-star designers, the winners will be awarded a heavy prize of 3,000 pounds each, and 3~5 people are planned to be set up.

3rd Prize; Four-star designers, the winners will be awarded a heavy prize of 1,000 pounds each, and 7~10 people are planned to be set up.

In addition, there are many Samsung designers, and the number of winners is still being proposed, which needs to be selected on a case-by-case basis.

The city of the Red River Valley will allocate funds for the construction of famous designer buildings that will be passed down to the world, as the supreme honor of the world's architectural industry, and pass on the works to future generations.

On the one hand, it is due to the need to expand the popularity of the Red River Valley, and on the other hand, it is due to the need to build urban landmarks, so the best of both worlds are made.

It doesn't cost much, but it has all the face, and it has started the international popularity of Red River Valley City, so why not?
