Chapter 1207: The Second Large-Scale Wave of Immigration

Xie Fang's expression changed drastically at what Qingyang Shuo said.

Qingyang Shuo smiled faintly.

He looked at Xie Fang with a burning gaze.

He had felt the enthusiasm and attitude with which Xie Fang was trying to recruit him.

Therefore, he felt even more that he should completely put an end to this idea of Xie Fang's.

He said calmly: "Your Highness, the ancients said that the greatest factor in a nation's strength is its national destiny. The strength of Liangzhou lies even more in that destiny!"

"And the destiny of Liangzhou lies in the Young Master!"

"How could Your Highness think that Qingyang Shuo, a half-crippled man, could bear such a great destiny?"

"The Young Master rose to prominence in Yinzhou, and Yinzhou's power grew."

"Afterward, Liangzhou soared, and the Xiongnu retreated..."

"The Western Regions were pacified, and the Dragon Flame Nation was reborn."

Qingyang Shuo laughed aloud: "This shows that the national destiny of Dragon Flame also lies in the Young Master!"

"In all these major events, when was the Young Master not rushing about? When was he not adapting to circumstances?"

"History..."

"Is inevitable."

"But at the same time, many things are also accidental."

"And for us ordinary people, the changes in history depend more on chance! Among the vast sea of people, how many in Dragon Flame can influence the course of history themselves?"

"The timing and the destiny... lie with the Young Master!"

Qingyang Shuo spoke eloquently.

Xie Fang was shaken to his core, rendered unable to utter a single word by what he had said.

So...

Liu Zheng's achievements today were all due to his own efforts and his own struggle?

That is to say...

Qingyang Shuo was merely providing Assistance to him?

Destiny...

Power...

National destiny?

Then this Liu Zheng...

He really is too strong!

However...

Qingyang Shuo saying this did indeed stir up those memories of Xie Fang's. Starting from his rise in Yinzhou, then Liangzhou, and then the entire Dragon Flame...

Suddenly.

A sense of powerlessness surged up again.

Was he... destined to never be able to compare to Liu Zheng in this lifetime?

And at this moment, Liu Zheng.

Was still on his way back to Dragon Flame.

"Have they retreated?"

Liu Zheng looked at the letter in his hand, his face showing not a hint of surprise.

Tiemu City?

He did not deny that Tiemu City might be a hero of the Grassland.

But Tiemu City had actually never realized... that it was impossible for him to rise in this world.

Liu Zheng had long since blocked his southward route.

This had been formed invisibly.

Liaodong was not only the Beidacang of Dragon Flame, but also a buffer zone that Liu Zheng used to target the Grassland Royal Court.

In fact.

At this time, the Qiang Grassland had already been surrounded by several field armies.

Therefore.

Tiemu City's rebellion this time was destined to go nowhere.

Liu Zheng was just puzzled.

Why would he make such a choice?

Was his brain broken?

Even if he could take Jinghua under a few days of Lightning War, so what? They would immediately face the Prince of Qin's army, and in the face of Dragon Flame's overwhelming forces, they simply could not stop them.

"It seems that it was Tsarist Russia playing tricks over there..."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

He immediately thought of it.

In fact, this time Tiemu City was just cannon fodder.

Merely cannon fodder used by Tsarist Russia...

Tsarist Russia...

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng sighed.

The war with Tsarist Russia,

is still continuing.

It seems this time...

I should go back and resolve it thoroughly.

"His Highness's plans are far-reaching; I fear I would fail you, my lord. His Highness should seek someone more brilliant."

Qingyang Shuo said this with a smile.

Although Xie Fang still did not want to give up, since Qingyang Shuo had refused to this extent, it would be tactless for Xie Fang to persist further.

"Very well, since you are unwilling, I shall not force you. However, there is indeed one question I would like to ask you now: how can one accelerate the development of Australia?"

With Qingyang Shuo's Method for dealing with the black people, Australia could indeed develop rapidly in a short time, but it was not a long-term solution after all.

Australia needed a "national policy" that would shake the past and dazzle the present.

"Your Highness, how to govern Australia is actually very simple."

Qingyang Shuo said with a chuckle.

"Teach me, sir!"

Xie Fang was somewhat excited.

"Adapt to local conditions, govern Australia with Australians, and govern the barbarians with barbarians!"

Qingyang Shuo said indifferently.

Huh?

Just this?

Xie Fang was not Liu Zheng; in fact, he was also left completely confused.

But he felt embarrassed to ask again, so after pondering for a while, he took his leave.

Qingyang Shuo watched Xie Fang's back and shook his head with a smile.

He knew.

His refusal today had still dealt a psychological blow to Xie Fang.

Therefore, whether he could fully grasp this matter would depend on Xie Fang's own ability to comprehend.

What is adapting to local conditions?

What is governing the barbarians with barbarians?

It is actually very simple.

Australia is a very complex country. Ethnicities, races, and even religious beliefs are all very different.

Then the next steps are simple...

Australia can allow the existence of multiple ethnicities and multiple religions.

It can even establish different schools for different races and different religions.

A country needs not only finance, but also social welfare, a productive structure, education, and healthcare.

When all of this begins to take shape...

Then would Xie Fang still lack talent?

Once there is talent, wouldn't governing become even simpler?

This is a virtuous cycle.

So, it depends on whether Xie Fang can realize it.

Governing a country cannot be achieved overnight.

Although Qingyang Shuo did not give Xie Fang a concrete plan, Xie Fang could not ask again.

The other party had already given advice; to keep asking would make himself appear incompetent.

It is better to rely on oneself than on others; Xie Fang understood this truth, so he went back and began to ponder.

After discussing and deliberating with his Strategists, a concrete plan was soon formulated:

Australia welcomes people from other countries to join Australia and become a part of it; as long as one makes a certain contribution to Australia, one can enjoy the treatment of an Australian citizen and receive the protection of the Australian Government.

Furthermore, Australia respects people of any religion, ethnicity, or race, and supports them to the greatest extent in preaching and running schools.

As long as one becomes an Australian citizen, one can enjoy free education in Australia.

As for healthcare, individuals are required to pay a certain amount of money according to their income; once a disaster or illness occurs, the government will fund the treatment.

As for old-age care, Australian citizens need to pay a certain amount of money to the government every year; once the contributor reaches the age of fifty-five, the government will provide the contributor with a certain amount of living expenses every month.

Xie Fang was actually not stupid...

Liu Zheng's brilliance had already been laid out before him.

So, couldn't he just copy the homework?

Copy in every aspect!

Australia's livelihood benefits are the best among all countries in the

world; of course, Australia has something even more powerful.

Judicial independence.

The Australian judicial department will not pursue the past faults of Australian citizens in other countries; no matter if you committed murder, arson, robbery, or theft, as long as you do not commit errors after stepping onto this land of Australia, Australia will regard you as a law-abiding high citizen.

Next is the most important thing, which is how to make "contributions."

There are two ways to make contributions:

One is investment, and the other is development.

Australia is in the ascendant and needs a large amount of money for infrastructure construction; as long as one invests one hundred thousand taels of silver, one can obtain citizen status, and if one invests over one million taels of silver, one can obtain super-citizen status!

The super-citizen status, which is to say the Noble status, is currently divided into three ranks.

An investment exceeding one million grants the title of Australia Baron, and the income from their operations in Australia can receive a ten percent tax reduction;

An investment exceeding three million grants the title of Australia Viscount, and the income from their operations in Australia can receive a twenty percent tax reduction;

An investment exceeding five million grants the title of Australia Count, and the income from their operations in Australia can receive a thirty percent tax reduction...

If one lacks money, contributing labor is also acceptable; an individual who clears over ten mu of wasteland can obtain citizenship.

In this way, both the poor and the rich get what they need, and the trend of development becomes unstoppable.

With the policy in place, the goal of "channeling" has already been half achieved; next, promotion is required.

The world must be made aware of the existence of such a paradise as Australia; otherwise, relying on "natural influx," it might take forever to attract enough people.

As for promotion, it is actually quite simple; when it comes down to it, it is just one word: deceive.

As long as people can be lured to Australia and made to know of Australia's good policies, anyone willing to strive for a better life for themselves will not leave.

The second large-scale migration to Australia.

Thus begins.

The situation in Australia is excellent, but Longyan does not have such good national fortune right now.

The war in the Northwest is deadlocked, and although the war in the Northeast has ended, the disaster of the Plague is still spreading; although the Mongol Army has been driven away, it is unknown whether the approaching Youzhou Army will rebel...

Jinghua is the political center of Longyan; once Jinghua is lost, Longyan's internal affairs will certainly fall into chaos. Although Liangzhou is within the borders and will not shake the foundation of Longyan, the Youzhou Army has two hundred thousand men after all, and suppressing the rebellion at that time will also come at a considerable cost.

Longyan faces frequent wars, and the war budget is already completely full; if there is internal strife at this time, and some unexpected event occurs externally, Longyan's finances might collapse.

Longyan is not a small organization, but a massive state apparatus; the interior of this state apparatus is tightly interconnected. As long as one link has a problem, the entire country will be in danger of collapse. Pop-ups have been frequent recently, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
