"There is still a big gap between our per capita income and that of European countries, and it will be a long time to bridge that gap, but we must take care of the interests of all people. For the benefit of Australians is for the benefit of Australia, and the policies implemented by the government must be thoroughly implemented to ensure that every Australian can enjoy our policies as much as possible. Arthur nodded, slightly solemnly.

Prime Minister Evan nodded and said, "On the issue of welfare policy, according to your Highness's orders, we have built a certain number of nursing homes and orphanages in each state as appropriate. Among them, a total of 13 nursing homes have been built, and there are currently more than 2,000 elderly people who are unable to live independently. As for orphanages, we have only one orphanage in each state, and we currently house more than 1,000 orphans. The government's next step is to continue building nursing homes and orphanages to reach more elderly and young children. ”

If the jobs created by the construction spree benefit all adults in Australia, then nursing homes and orphanages are for the elderly and orphans who are unable to live on their own.

At present, due to the size, the nursing home mainly accommodates the elderly who have no children, low income and no ability to live independently.

In any case, the construction of nursing homes and orphanages has been very effective in alleviating the plight of poor civilians in Australia, allowing many elderly and young children to survive.

The reason why Australians are so revered and fanatical about Arthur is that welfare policies and tax cuts account for a large part.

In the hearts of the common people, whether a monarch is great and respected depends on whether the monarch loves his people and respects the interests of all his people.

For now, at least, Arthur has been very successful in this regard. Since Arthur's arrival in Australia, he has successively promulgated various welfare policies in favor of Australians, and has also cut most of his taxes.

In such a situation, if Australians do not have the admiration of this monarch who cares about the people, then there is a real problem.

"The government is doing a good job on that, Prime Minister Evan. In Australia, under the premise that there are still lonely elderly people and orphans, the operation of nursing homes and orphanages must be carried out. I can accept a long but effective plan, but I can't accept that there is no progress and action. I hope to open more homes and orphanages this year to show Australians that their government cares about them. Arthur nodded in satisfaction and commanded.

Nursing homes and orphanages don't cost much to build, and the day-to-day expenses are not high. But these two institutions are very effective means of rallying the hearts and minds of the people.

A small nursing home or orphanage can accommodate about 100 people and will cost no more than £2,000 a year.

Because the human rights protection policies of this era are very low, and in the era when European countries are still secretly implementing the 12-hour work week, how much attention do people pay to those lonely elderly and orphans?

You only need to provide them with three meals a day, as well as some basic things, and you can win the favor of many people, so why not?

"Yes, Your Highness." Prime Minister Evan responded.

It's a very simple task, but it brings great prestige to the royal family and the government, so Prime Minister Evan answered very simply.

"What about education and health care? What are the results of the construction of our schools and hospitals? Arthur asked.

In terms of people's livelihood, in addition to various welfare policies, education and medical care are also the focus of Arthur's attention.

"Your Highness, according to your orders, the Ministry of Education built one hundred and seven primary schools, eleven secondary schools, and a national university in the previous year. We currently have more than 12,300 students enrolled and expect to increase this year. Education Secretary Richard stood up and replied.

The construction of 100 elementary schools was the task that Arthur had given to Minister Richard at the Cabinet meeting, but he did not expect Minister Richard to meet the target very smoothly.

"How's the situation at the university? How are our precious college students okay in college? Arthur asked with a smile.

Elementary school education is all about basic things, and basically nothing can go wrong. But universities are different, those hundreds of valuable college students are the mainstay of Australia in a few years, and Arthur will feel distressed if anything goes wrong.

"All well, Your Highness. Because the university adopts a half-theory and half-practical approach, the mastery of various knowledge by those college students is relatively smooth, and the study plan is also carried out in an orderly manner. Minister Richard said with a smile.

The practical and semi-theoretical teaching method of these college students is also a helpless choice of the Ministry of Education.

Because industry and various construction require a lot of technical personnel, but Australia does not have perfect reserves for this area.

As a result, these college students become good technical personnel, and are occasionally pulled into strong men by industry and other departments for a full day.

But doing so is not without its benefits. Because of the hands-on practice, these college students are still very effective in mastering the knowledge they have learned.

Although it will be physically and mentally exhausting, it does improve the efficiency of learning, and it can also solve some common technical problems encountered by various departments.

"It is important for university students to keep up with the nutritional supply, they will be the mainstay of our country. In addition, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of skilled workers in our country, on the premise of attracting skilled workers to immigrate, I think it is also necessary to establish a technical school to recruit ordinary workers for short training, so that they can master specific skills and enter more advanced positions. The Ministry of Education can discuss plans during this time, teachers can be hired from Europe, and our existing good workers and talents can be used as temporary teachers. This technical college mainly cultivates technical capabilities, with the aim of producing more skilled workers and talents for Australia. Arthur looked at Minister Richard and made his request.

Although the education of the university is going very well, these valuable students will become the mainstay of the Australian technology industry in the future, and they are more scientific research and management talents, so it is naturally impossible for them to enter the bottom work.

This also leads to the problem that Australia's shortage of skilled workers cannot be alleviated.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a technical school dedicated to the training of skilled workers. Regardless of how advanced their knowledge is, as long as they can master certain skills and abilities and grow into a qualified or even excellent worker, then Arthur's expectations have been met.
