Chapter 269 Good news about population
Seeing how seriously Arthur attached importance to the construction of sports venues, everyone in the cabinet naturally did not dare to be careless. new
After a week-long discussion and preliminary planning, the specific plan for the construction of the stadium was finally negotiated.
The first is the size of the stadium. At Arthur's insistence, the stadium's capacity became a maximum of 50,000 people.
This will be a very large sports venue. The venue is located in the north of the Capital Territory, very close to Newcastle. There is enough plain land to build a sports venue.
In order to meet the needs of the Olympic Games, many venues will be built inside the stadium to meet the needs of the Olympic Games.
Regarding the naming of the new sports venue, the cabinet, after seeking advice from Arthur, named the new venue the National Stadium of Australasia.
After all, the purpose of this Olympics is to increase the prestige and international influence of Australasia. Advertising Australasia starting from the sports venues can be regarded as confirming the original intention of the Olympics.
After the preliminary construction plan was finalized, the cabinet government decided to initially allocate 10 million Australian dollars to build a new stadium over two years, and invited construction companies to undertake the major modules of the stadium.
Australasia is open to the influx of domestic and foreign construction companies.
But the government's requirements are also very strict. If there are any problems in the construction of Olympic venues, it will rise to a dispute between countries, and the person in charge of the construction company will be sentenced by the Australasian government.
You know, the laws in Australasia are relatively strict, which is also a major means for the government to sanction criminal cases.
After all, the civilians in Australasia have enough food and clothing, and those who engage in illegal and criminal activities in Australasia are often recidivists and desperadoes who cannot be saved at all.
These people are of no use to the development of Australasia and may even hinder the country's development and social stability.
Strict laws are used to punish them. More serious criminal cases are basically punished by death, and they are also hanged or shot.
According to rough statistics from the public security department, in the past year since independence, more than 3,100 people have been sentenced to death in Australasia, of which more than 2,000 are vicious criminals with lives on their hands. only.
After executing more than 3,000 people, the current crime rate in Australasia is more than 20 times higher than that of 1, and there are very few murder cases in major cities.
After the government made public the construction of the stadium, the construction of the stadium also attracted the attention and support of a large number of Australasians.
This is not because of Arthur's high public sentiment, but because Australasians have a lot of mood and time to do other entertainment after having enough food and clothing.
However, there are currently not many entertainment environments and entertainment facilities in Australasia, and because the government has gradually begun to control the sale and circulation of large weapons, it is not practical for civilians to use inferior pistols for hunting. Therefore, hunting is one of the few Entertainment has also gradually fallen out of the mainstream.
But it is worth mentioning that because major factories in Australasia have strictly implemented a ten-hour work system, and several factories in the royal family even implemented an eight-hour work system, people have a lot of free time to use. Come and splurge, and under the premise that all kinds of entertainment facilities are impossible, creating humans has become a helpless choice for a considerable number of Australasians.
In addition, the government has been very encouraging of childbirth in recent years. Every time a child is born, a sum of money will be awarded, and the education and life of all children in families with multiple children will be guaranteed until they reach adulthood.
This has led to Australasians not being averse to having children, and even if it works well, having more children can create extra income for the family, which is equivalent to having one more labor force in the family to make money.
The current number of more than 100,000 new born babies in Australasia every year is the best proof. This is also one of the reasons why Australasia's population growth rate is rising. new
How high is public support for new sports venues? Even before the construction of the stadium has actually begun, a large number of Australasian people have spontaneously gone to the planned area of the stadium, intending to level the land in the stadium area to facilitate future construction.
However, such an action was quickly stopped. After all, although leveling the construction area needs to be done before construction, there is absolutely no need to waste such precious labor.
Aren’t the indigenous people doing all this hard work? Anyway, for Australasia, the indigenous people are the least valuable. Who cares if tens of thousands die a year?
Time passed quickly, and it was January 1910 before the construction of the stadium officially started.
Instead, we attach great importance to this year's annual report summary meeting. After all, it is time for the entire government to handle government affairs well, and it is also time to thoroughly grasp domestic development and plan for the next few years.
If we look at history, it would have been a few years before the First World War broke out. But who can guarantee that the course of the world will develop as history does? What if a war breaks out tomorrow?
new
It was also with the attitude of being prepared in advance that Arthur decided to remind the government to prepare for a super war that might break out on the European continent in the future.
Before the cabinet meeting, Arthur announced an appointment, appointing Hunter, the second son of Kent's steward and brother of Prime Minister Kent, as minister of royal affairs, the last vacant seat in the cabinet.
This appointment was a bit sudden, but in the eyes of everyone in the cabinet, it was a matter of course.
The position of Minister of Royal Affairs is destined to be held by Arthur's absolute confidant, and no one else is qualified to get involved.
When it comes to Arthur's absolute confidant, Steward Kent definitely counts, and he deserves to be the first choice.
It's just that Butler Kent has already served as the prince's chief steward and is also responsible for managing the affairs of the royal consortium.
Even if the Kent Steward is given the position of Minister of Royal Affairs, it will only make the Kent Steward's position sound better, and the actual power and role will not change in any way.
It is also reasonable for Hunter, the second son of Kent's butler, to replace his father Kent as minister of royal affairs.
After all, a position like palace steward is basically hereditary as long as no accidents occur.
Those who control the position of palace steward are usually the most trusted families of the monarch. Although it sounds like a mere servant, in an autocratic monarchy like Australasia, Kent stewards do not necessarily have much less power than cabinet members.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that given the choice between a cabinet member and a Kentish Butler, Arthur would choose the Kentish Butler without hesitation.
For no other reason than Arthur was able to ensure the absolute loyalty of Kent's butler to him. Not even joking, if Arthur felt that Kent Butler was useless, he would let Kent Butler die and Kent Butler would not say a word "no".
As the second son of Steward Kent, Hunter is destined to inherit Steward Kent's mantle and become the next Grand Steward of the Palace, given that his older brother has entered the political arena.
Therefore, the position of Minister of Royal Affairs is also very suitable for Hunter. It can also allow him to familiarize himself with the feeling of working for Arthur in advance, and he can also accept the teachings of Kent's butler at any time.
As for the Kent Steward, the Minister of State Kent, and the Minister of Royal Affairs Hunter all becoming prominent cabinet ministers or palace stewards, will their families have huge power and threaten the royal power or give birth to other ideas? Arthur I won't worry at all.
Leaving aside the premise that the power of Steward Hunter and his family all came from the royal family. Without the royal family, they would not have real power. The loyalty of Steward Kent and his family alone was enough for Arthur to trust.
What's more, the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau is not a vegetarian. After such a long period of development, if it cannot control the intelligence of the entire palace and protect the safety of the royal family, then the director of the Royal Security Intelligence Bureau should also be replaced.
Hunter also attended this cabinet meeting and received congratulations from cabinet ministers.
Everyone in the cabinet still wants to have a good relationship with the future palace steward who is basically confirmed.
Although Hunter has just come of age, by the time Hunter becomes the palace steward, they will most likely have left the political arena.
If something happens then, you can ask Hunter for help because of your familiarity, right?
The cabinet meeting was held for a whole day and gave Arthur a thorough understanding of the current developments in all aspects of Australasia.
Even several newly added positions were debriefed, which also gave Arthur a better understanding of the current judicial and religious situation in Australasia.
Overall, the development of Australasia is still going smoothly, and the population growth is also very gratifying.
As of now, the total population of Greater Latin America has exceeded 8.52 million, which is getting closer and closer to the goal of a population of 10 million for a regional power proposed by Arthur at the time.
Among them, Australia has a population of nearly 7 million, and New Zealand has a population of about 1.5 million. The population of the New Guinea colony has exceeded 50,000, and the specific number is approximately 52,150.
The population of Australian Timor, which has the smallest population, has exceeded 13,500. This is also the result of the two colonies continuously establishing various policies to attract immigrants.
From the perspective of population structure, British immigrants account for 12.1% of the total population of Australasia, and Russian immigrants account for 6.3% of the total population of Australasia.
It can also be seen from the population structure that the largest population in Australasia is British immigrants, with a total number of 5.94 million.
The second and third largest populations are German and Russian, with 1.03 million and 1.01 million respectively.
This can also be seen in the current intensity of immigration from European countries to Australasia. Most of the population growth in Australasia also relies on these European immigrants.
