Rise of Australia

Chapter 70 Summary at the end of 1900
On January 1901, 1, after a month-long voyage, the fleet finally arrived in Sydney, Australia.

Prime Minister Evan prepared a grand welcome ceremony for this, and Sydney Harbor was once again full of crowds.

Three months have passed since leaving for Europe.Whether it is everyone in the visiting group or Arthur, they have begun to miss Australia.

Because the aid treaties signed with the United Kingdom and Germany are good news for Australia and the Australians, so Arthur will not let go of such a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people. He gave a small speech at the port, which angered everyone. The crowd cheered wildly.

After that, it is back to the manor, there is no other link.There is no other reason. After a long month of boring and bumpy journey at sea, Arthur now just wants to lie on the big bed in his manor and have a good rest.

The task of settling Diesel, Benz and those workers was given to Prime Minister Evan.

Fortunately, the few residential buildings that were vacated when the Australian National University recruited students are still vacant, just in time to come in handy.

As for Diesel and Benz, Arthur also fulfilled his promise and chose a relatively good independent small building in the center of Sydney for them and their families to live in.

January 1901, 1, the day after returning to Australia.

After resting from the afternoon until noon the next day, after eating another full meal, Arthur felt that he was gradually recovering.

Putting on a custom-made suit, Arthur led the guards to the government building.

By the time Arthur arrived, all the cabinet members had arrived and sat quietly in their seats waiting.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Arthur walking in, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Long time no see, everyone. It has been three months since you left Australia last time, and you can see the changes you have made to Australia in these three months. Although it is a new year now, we will continue to The annual meeting of the previous year was not too late. Let’s talk about what plans your various departments have made last year, what you have completed, and what is in progress. How many tasks have been completed by the government? Let's report!" Arthur sat on the main seat and said to everyone with a smile.

For the government, the annual meeting is a time to test the work of the year. Whether there is any performance depends on how many achievements the department has made this year.

Obviously, most of the ministers are well prepared. Even the three ministers who followed Arthur to Europe have read and sorted out a lot of materials in more than a day.

"Prime Minister Evan, let's listen to the government's achievements first! Is your summary report ready?" Arthur looked at Prime Minister Evan and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Prime Minister Evan stood up, came to the steps in the center of the conference table, put his materials on the podium, and then said: "Your Highness, everyone. 1900 was a great year for Australia. We finally gained independence We have a great status and a great monarch. Under your leadership, all walks of life in Australia have begun to flourish, and the country is thriving."

Prime Minister Evan also knew that Arthur didn't like such flattering nonsense very much. After a relatively brief nonsense, he started the topic: "Australia has ushered in great development throughout the past year. According to the government's According to rough statistics, our population has grown from about 1899 in late 1900 to early 370 to the current 100, an increase of about two percent.”

"Among them, there were more than 6000 newborns, more than 3000 deaths, and 6000 immigrants. Excluding military family members and special immigrants from the army, we have about 4 real immigrants, including Irish and British Occupy more than half." Prime Minister Evan introduced.

The population growth rate in 1900 increased more rapidly than the previous two years, but this was also because Queen Victoria gave Arthur more than 2 troops and military dependents.

After deducting these relatively special immigrants, the increase in the total number of immigrants in Australia in the previous year was not too much, and remained at the same level as in previous years.

"After signing immigration treaties with the UK and Germany, our immigration should increase to a certain extent? The government should also be prepared to invest a certain amount of money in the UK and Germany to promote Australia and attract more immigrants." Ah Ser nodded flatly and said.

Given the absence of any immigration treaty and the fact that Australia's infrastructure started in the middle of the year, it is understandable that there was no increase in immigration in the previous year.

With the implementation of the immigration treaties with the UK and Germany, coupled with Australia's own vigorous publicity, it is believed that the immigration situation will improve in the new year.

"Yes, Your Highness." Prime Minister Evan nodded hastily.

"How is the economy of the country? How is our financial situation at present?" Arthur asked.

After having Germany's assistance, Australia can be considered to have completely solved the funding problem. At least in the next few years, there is no need to worry about the funding problem.

"Your Highness, at present, the government has a total of more than 1000 million pounds available funds. If the German loan that has not yet arrived is counted, our available funds have exceeded 6000 million pounds." When it comes to funding issues, Prime Minister Evan reluctantly He couldn't help smiling, and said with a little excitement.

The Australian government has a huge amount of funds. Even if it spends more than 600 million pounds on various constructions, the government's finances will not be reduced at all, but will increase by several million pounds.

Arthur nodded, not surprised by the huge amount of more than 1 million pounds, but continued to ask: "What about the annual income of our residents? Has it increased during this year?"

It is good news for Australia that the government is not short of money, but whether the people lack money is the foundation of whether Australia can survive.

If the high-level people enjoy the prosperity and the low-level civilians have nothing to eat, no matter how much money the government has, it will be in vain.

"Your Highness, the construction of our various industries has created a large number of jobs and created a large number of job opportunities for Australians. In order to ensure the interests of the people, we specifically require that each job should not be exploited or deducted. At present, our industrial zone has more than They have contributed to the construction of industrial zones and the production of factories. According to our estimates, the per capita annual income in Australia was about [-] pounds at the beginning of last year, and now it has risen to more than [-] pounds. Especially in industrial zones, it has More than [-] jobs with an annual income of more than ten pounds have been born, and with the learning of workers and the expansion of industrial areas, there will be more and more higher-income jobs in the future, which will also drive the increase in Australia's per capita annual income." Prime Minister Evan said with a smile.

Construction is bound to stimulate the economy, and it will stimulate the economy very effectively.Various huge constructions in Australia have also created many jobs, and most of them are jobs with an annual per capita income above.

This has also made sufficient contributions to Australia's economic development and increase in per capita annual income, and will continue to do so.
