439 Population is the biggest constraint of Lanfang
Huang Bohan kept his word, and when Qin Zhiyuan returned to the harem, he found that there were already twenty or thirty women assigned tasks under the command of a nun.
Where did grandma come from?
There are quite a lot of them. Just a few years after the fall of the former Qing government, a large number of female officials in the palace were dismissed. Many of these people had been in the palace since childhood and are now homeless. Many of them were hired by wealthy families to teach their servants the rules.
, can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of an emperor.
Lanfang is not far from the capital of the Republic of China, and there is actually a nun in the palace. This shows that Huang Bohan is deliberately planning.
The most deplorable thing is that Julie was not aware of the crisis at all and was watching with Misha with great interest.
Misha's eyes were a little strange, and Qin Zhiyuan, whose big eyes flickered, was upset.
How does it feel to be a king? When Qin Zhiyuan came back, Julie came over and pretended to be a reporter.
If not, you'll find out later in the evening. Qin Zhiyuan has bad intentions.
According to Huang Bohan's plan, there will be a large-scale dinner party in the evening, which will not only be attended by cabinet members, but also prominent figures from all aspects of Coconut City. The banquet will also include fireworks to increase the atmosphere of having fun with the people.
Because it is a dinner party to welcome Qin Zhiyuan and Julie, Julie will definitely attend. Qin Zhiyuan will be responsible for entertaining Huang Bohan and others, and the family members who come with Huang Bohan and others will definitely be entertained by Julie.
One can imagine what a spectacular scene it would be if Huang Bohan brought his eight wives over for a banquet.
Qin Zhiyuan is almost certain that this kind of scene will definitely happen, and not only Huang Bohan, but also Huang Jinsheng and Guo Shenglong will bring all their wives and concubines. On the one hand, it is to show the Chinese tradition, and on the other hand, it is also with Zhu
Qin Zhiyuan has a headache about this. It is conceivable that if Julie is really stimulated in some way by then, well, Qin Zhiyuan will still suffer.
But now Julie obviously doesn't have this awareness, because when she heard that a dinner was going to be prepared, Julie happily took Misha to change clothes.
Together
What the hell is this?
Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about Julie. He came back to change clothes. A little later, Qin Zhiyuan had a meeting with Huang Bohan and Qin Zhisheng.
Just by looking at the participants, you can tell the level of confidentiality of this meeting. Huang Bohan is the current Prime Minister of Lanfang, and Qin Zhisheng is the Chief of General Staff of Lanfang Military Department. You can imagine what they and Qin Zhiyuan can discuss.
It was actually past lunch time at this time. Qin Zhiyuan had a quick meal in the harem and then went straight to the reception room.
To say that this palace is quite large, it is not appropriate to call it a castle. It is more appropriate to describe it as a group of castles.
The structure of this palace is similar to that of Thunder Bluff. It is built on a peninsula. The front half is a military fortress, and the back half has spacious and comfortable living facilities.
After it was converted into Qin Zhiyuan's palace, all military facilities have been removed, and appropriate improvements have been made to the buildings. In general, the first half of the fortress, which was originally a military-heavy castle, has now become Qin Zhiyuan's office for handling affairs.
, the backyard is where Qin Zhiyuan and Julie rest.
Since it is an office, of course there are various rooms with different functions. The place where Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Bohan and Qin Zhisheng met was in Qin Zhiyuan's study.
This study was built on the top of the castle in the front yard, occupying an entire floor, about three to four hundred square meters. The entire side of the study facing the sea was completely hollowed out. Except for the stone pillars at intervals to provide necessary support, the rest Part of it is covered with gauze and bamboo curtains. From the outside looking in, almost nothing can be seen, but looking from the inside out, it is a truly invincible sea view.
It is said to be a study room, but its size is comparable to that of a library. There are even many unique and incomplete books on the huge bookshelf, which Huang Bohan collected with great difficulty.
But now Qin Zhiyuan definitely has no intention to read it. Qin Zhiyuan's mind is on Qin Zhisheng's report.
The navy's investigation of Japan has not yet begun. We lack bases near Japan. It will be difficult for us to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Japan until Vladivostok resumes its functions. The current war in Vladivostok has subsided. In the Siberian territory under our control, in addition to 100,000 soldiers, There are probably less than 100,000 immigrants. In addition, there are more than 40,000 workers recruited from Annan. It would have been possible to recruit more, but the current supply is a bit difficult, so it has not been expanded further. These people are currently working hard to repair it. The Vladivostok military port is expected to be initially restored within the year, and then the navy can be stationed. Qin Zhisheng reported very carefully.
Some information can only be known to Qin Zhiyuan and the three of them, such as the ongoing investigation of Japan, which involves Lan Fang's strategic direction for the next ten years or so and must not be spread to outsiders.
Continue to increase recruitment efforts. I have reached an agreement with Bastian. The transportation task will be organized by Bastian. Don’t worry about the Japanese taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Right, I have signed an agreement with Bastian. Cam Ranh Bay will be leased to us for 99 years. From now on, the construction of a military port will also begin in Cam Ranh Bay, and a shipyard will be built there at the same time. In the future, if nothing else happens, our warships will be produced in Cam Ranh Bay. Qin Zhiyuan arranges the next step of work.
Qin Zhiyuan has indeed reached a preliminary agreement with Bastian. Bastian will arrive in Coconut City tonight to attend the dinner held at the palace.
Immigration to Australia is not going smoothly. We don’t have enough manpower now. Only less than 3,000 people have gone to Hedland. We Chinese still like to farm. Let them go to Australia to herd sheep or mine. They really don’t want it. I'm willing to go. Huang Bohan is a little worried.
This involves an issue of traditional habits. The Chinese have been a farming nation since ancient times. Let the Chinese farm the land, and the Chinese can do it with ease. Let the Chinese herd sheep. That is really not interesting.
In fact, the Chinese also have the habit of raising livestock, but generally the scale is not too large, such as sheep. Chinese families who have the conditions will raise a few to increase their income, but it is only one aspect of increasing income. If they do not farm, they will only raise a few. Herding sheep will make many people feel unsure.
You have to go even if you don't want to go. If the farmers don't want to go, then retire some soldiers from the army and let them move to Australia with their families. Qin Zhiyuan's attitude is firm.
Now that he has retired, even Qin Zhisheng feels unreliable.
Yes, you have to immigrate even if you retire. Qin Zhiyuan looked at Qin Zhisheng and Huang Bohan, who were a little confused, and decided to reveal more: Australia's underground is almost full of mineral deposits, and these minerals are enough for us to use for hundreds of years. If we want To establish a sufficiently stable heavy industry system, Australia must be acquired.
The land of Australia is indeed something Qin Zhiyuan longs for. No matter what, Qin Zhiyuan will change the Australian flag to the tricolor flag.
I'm afraid the Australians won't agree to it, and the British won't agree either. Huang Hao, frowning and worried.
If they don't agree, they will go to war. The British blew the ANZAC to the sky. I would like to see how capable the ANZAC can defeat Qin and win. They are so murderous.
After the baptism of the European War and the almost smooth occupation of half of Siberia, Lanfang's army is now full of confidence. Let alone the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, even the British and French coalition forces that won the world war are nothing in Qin Zhisheng's eyes.
That's it.
We cannot start a war rashly, as that will lead to us being isolated from the whole world, and the gains outweigh the losses. Even if we build a complete industrial system by then, the products we produce will have no market. Qin Zhiyuan thinks far ahead.
So what should we do? Huang Bohan can still keep his composure, but Qin Zhisheng is eager to try.
As for the referendum, you may have noticed that just last year, US President Wilson put forward fourteen points of suggestions, which included explanations about the referendum. This is a loophole that we can exploit. Qin Zhiyuan has a plan.
Huang Bohan still has doubts about whether the British and French would agree to the referendum.
Of course I won't agree to it now, but what if in another 20 or 30 years, what if all the colonies around the world demand a referendum? It will be impossible for the British and French to go against the will of the people around the world by then. Qin Zhiyuan is confident.
Put it this way, if we continue to immigrate now and the number of Chinese in Australia continues to increase, then in 20 to 30 years, if the Chinese population exceeds the number of white people in Australia, Huang Bohan suddenly took a breath, a former
A situation that I had never imagined suddenly appeared in front of me.
Yes, so I am prepared to agree to the appointment of the French government to serve as the Governor-General of French Indochina. Qin Zhiyuan's ambitions obviously extend beyond Australia.
Indochina said so. Indochina may also be our land in the future. Huang Bohan murmured to himself, feeling like a dream.
It's not just Indochina. Look at Siam next to it. Because of the existence of Siam, a large part of Indochina is missing. Don't you think it's an eyesore? Qin Zhiyuan has ambitions.
It's an eyesore, it's really an eyesore. Huang Bohan could no longer digest the information revealed by Qin Zhiyuan. He could only keep nodding his head and agreeing with Qin Zhiyuan's words.
In front of Huang Bohan's eyes, the map of Lanfang's future has emerged. It will be an extremely huge country, including half of Siberia and Sakhalin, as well as the entire Southeast Asia and Australia.
What a spectacular sight that would be.
Now, what restricts our development is population, so in my plan, the Chinese will gradually retire in batches, and all of them will enter the factories, mines or farms in the rear, do their best to increase the population, and gradually improve the national strength. As for our army, in the future
The employment system should be implemented as much as possible. Except for technical arms in key positions, a large number of Annan people, local aborigines from Lanfang, and whites from Europe should be recruited into the army for ordinary positions. Qin Zhiyuan decided to continue the form of the Foreign Legion.
.
Listening to what Qin Zhiyuan said, you can understand why Qin Zhiyuan held a small-scale confidential meeting.
If these plans of Qin Zhiyuan are known to the British and French, then even if Lanfang has close relations with France, the French will immediately launch a war against Lanfang.
