The Rise of Australia
Chapter 36 Public support is available
"Let's go, Minister Thomas. The front seems to be where the Royal Rescue Committee distributes supplies. Since we have come here, let's go and have a look." Arthur suddenly saw the crowds of people on the street in front of him, and the crowd seemed to be there. What are you waiting for in line, so he said to Thomas with some interest.
"Yes, Your Highness." Minister Thomas followed immediately and said respectfully.
Right in front of the crowd, officials from several relief societies were registering and distributing food in an intense and orderly manner.
Although the size of these few queues was at least several thousand people, what was surprising was that these thousands of people formed a queue three lines long, stretching from the central streets of Sydney to the Port Road in the south.
Not only that, along the way, Arthur basically didn't notice any queue jumping or fighting. The people queuing up are anxious but orderly, poor but polite, and even occasionally there are a few strong men who will make way for the elderly behind them.
"Thomas, is this what your Public Security Department did? It allows so many people to receive supplies in such an orderly manner without any chaos or fighting. It seems that the achievements of your Public Security Department are far more than that!" Arthur Watching all the people in line moving forward in an orderly manner with a bit of surprise, I couldn't help but express my inner doubts.
"No, no, no, Your Highness. This is not the credit of the Ministry of Public Security, this is your credit!" Minister Thomas quickly shook his head and explained: "Everyone knows that it is Your Highness who distributes the food, and most people are only filled with joy. and grateful queues. Occasionally, there are selfish people who want to jump in the queue, and they will be taught a lesson by those who respect you. Because of this, so many people appear so orderly."
Arthur suddenly realized that he had not expected that he had such appeal in Australia. Seeing the orderly crowd in front of him, Arthur could not help but feel an extremely heroic spirit.
"Your Highness is here!"
"Long live your highness!"
Finally, a few sharp-eyed people discovered Arthur's arrival, and the company didn't even bother queuing, and rushed to Arthur one after another, shouting excitedly and enthusiastically.
"Long live your highness!"
As the saying goes, a thousand words can be put into one sentence, and that is exactly what the Australian crowd is doing now. Facing the monarch who reduced their taxes and gave them free food, they did not hesitate in their love.
"Guys, I know you may be from the British Empire, you may be from France, you may be from Germany or even other places in Europe. But you are now in Australia, in this beautiful place. Now, please tell me loudly, Who exempted you from most of your taxes, and who gave you free food when you were in need, so that you wouldn't have to worry about a little food?" As the crowd cheered loudly, Minister Thomas had quietly arrived at the area. The highest point near the site is where the officials of the Monuments Commission are located.
As a small official who rose to the position of parliamentarian and even colonial prime minister, Minister Thomas also had excellent oratory skills.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Minister Thomas decided to show his favor to Arthur. Any smart person can see that Arthur values cultivating status and prestige in the hearts of Australians. If this is the case, Thomas will follow the trend and take the opportunity to publicize several of Arthur's achievements on such a grand occasion as today.
I have to say that Minister Thomas is very eloquent, and it may be that the Australians are very satisfied with what Arthur has done so far.
After Minister Thomas asked twice, several nearby streets rang out a continuous chorus of "Your Highness!" and "Long live Your Highness!".
A look of satisfaction flashed in Arthur's eyes, but his face was still very calm and he signaled the crowd to stop, and then said: "Subjects, as your monarch, this is what I should and must do. Australia is a Great country, Australians are a great nation. I hope we can work together to make Australia on top of the world and Australians on top of the world!"
"Long live your highness!"
"Long live Australia!"
There is nothing happier than having a monarch who loves his people and country, at least in the hearts of modern Australians.
If there was a way to measure public sentiment, Arthur was absolutely confident that his support rate in Australia would definitely be above 80%. At least half of the more than one million Australians who could receive food would become his supporters.
"How is the food distribution going? How many people have received our food today?" After quieting the crowd, Arthur began to ask the officials responsible for distributing food.
As the most populous state in Australia, New South Wales does not have the largest number of poor people.
There is a big difference between immigrants in New South Wales and immigrants in other states, that is, immigrants in New South Wales are regular immigrants attracted from Europe. The quality of their population is generally high and their abilities are also low. There are relatively many, so the income is relatively high among states.
Although other states, especially Western Australia, can have a lot of immigrants every year, most of these immigrants are gold diggers attracted by the gold rush. Although a small number of them can successfully make a large amount of money through the gold rush, But there are still most people who are just workers in the gold mines, living beyond their means.
"Your Highness, our food relief has been carried out for two days so far. In Sydney alone, more than 9,300 pieces of food have been distributed in these two days, including three particularly poor families. We also gave an extra piece of food as a gift," the official reported.
Under normal circumstances, each person is only allowed to receive one piece of relief food. But when you meet a particularly poor family or individual, you can also give them an extra piece of food as appropriate.
This poverty situation depends on the discretion of the officials distributing food, but generally speaking, as long as it falls within the scope of special poverty, there are basically no restrictions.
After all, Arthur distributes food for his own reputation and prestige, and naturally he will not cause his reputation to suffer for a small profit.
Therefore, for this food distribution, we have prepared more food based on the principle that we would rather distribute a thousand more copies than miss one person.
"Well, in addition to the distribution of food, names and addresses must be completely registered. There will be many relief policies in the future, many of which will rely on the information registered now." Arthur ordered.
Because there is no proper identification system, it is still very difficult to find a poor person in Australia.
Only then did the officials of the Relief Committee come up with this idea, which is to register the names and addresses of recipients when distributing food. This would make it easier to find people for various policies in the future.
