The Rise of Australia
Chapter 97 Changes in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry (Please subscribe!)
Population growth is crucial to Australia. If it can maintain at least more than 100,000 immigrants and more than 120,000 new people every year, Australia can effectively alleviate the embarrassing situation of underpopulation.
Due to various large-scale construction projects, Australia's per capita income has also reached more than ten pounds. Accordingly, taxes have also increased.
In 1901, Australia's total fiscal revenue was approximately 4.3 million pounds, and total fiscal expenditure was 13 million pounds.
Although the fiscal balance is extremely imbalanced, this is because a large number of construction projects have been launched. Without these construction costs, Australia's fiscal surplus would be nearly two million pounds a year.
Australia's Treasury also has a huge amount of funds. Although it spends more than 10 million pounds every year, the available funds of the Treasury still remain at more than 150 million pounds.
According to Treasury statistics, thousands more self-employed businesses were created in Australia last year.
Most of them have opened their own small factories and shops and have become shopkeepers and bosses themselves.
Although their funds are small, the large ones only have less than a thousand pounds, and the small ones only have tens or hundreds of pounds.
But compared with Australia's previous situation, there has been considerable progress.
It is possible that one of these people cannot be the richest man in Australia, thereby driving the development of Australian enterprises.
In addition to these, the construction of nursing homes, orphanages, hospitals and schools is also in progress.
Arthur attaches great importance to people's livelihood. This has also resulted in the Australian government investing heavily in people's livelihood.
Of course, a lot of investment also brings a lot of returns. The total number of orphanages and nursing homes has exceeded 50, and the number of elderly people and orphans adopted has exceeded 5,000 and 3,000 respectively.
This has accommodated most of the lonely elderly and orphans, and has also made the adoption of elderly and orphans a great success.
In Australia, when it comes to nursing homes and orphanages, people will look in the direction of the manor with enthusiasm and admiration, because that is where the monarch they trust lives.
Needless to say, the school is one of the projects that the government attaches great importance to.
So far, Australia has nearly 200 primary schools and 20 secondary schools, with tens of thousands of new students entering schools every year.
The training effect of the National University is also very gratifying. Although the number of new college students in 1901 was not many, only just over 600, a total of more than 1,400 college students were born in the two years combined.
Because Australian National Universities generally adopt a semi-theoretical and semi-practical teaching method, it will be extremely smooth for these college students to join the workforce after graduation.
The Victoria Award has attracted high-end talents to Australia, and then established education to improve the shortage of middle- and low-end talents.
In this way, Australia's talent training system will gradually take shape, bringing vigorous development potential to Australia's scientific research and other industries.
The medical department's actions are not big, and it still only maintains the foundation of one large hospital in each state.
However, the medical department maintains a supportive attitude towards the establishment of some small clinics. It will even provide financial support to some small clinics with development potential.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, there are currently more than 30 private clinics in Australia, including more than a dozen in New South Wales.
These small private clinics can also significantly improve Australia's medical environment, and even play a greater role than newly built hospitals when there is a shortage of medical talents.
Judging from the number of talents in Australia, even if only one large hospital is established in each state, it will already face a serious talent vacancy problem.
Except for the New South Wales State Hospital in the capital, where various departments have been gradually established and opened to the outside world, some departments in other hospitals still face talent problems.
This situation may only be solved by the Victoria Award. By attracting world-renowned medical talents and then cultivating mid- to low-end medical talents, we can hope to completely solve the shortage of medical talents.
The influx of large Aboriginal people has also had significant changes in another sector of Australia: agriculture.
Originally, due to a severe lack of manpower, land development in Australia was very slow, and could even be described as a turtle speed.
The purpose of a large number of immigrants in Australia is not to farm, but to mine gold and other valuable minerals.
This is also the reason why these immigrants have low incomes. They come here to pan for gold, but few of them make a lot of money from gold panning.
A large number of people immigrated to Australia because of the gold rush, but often became one of Australia's poor civilians.
Now with the participation of indigenous people, Australia's land development, especially the development of cultivated land, has made significant progress. Not only has the per capita land become more, but the per capita cultivated land area has also increased significantly.
It has a substantial impact on Australia's food production. Although it was not obvious in 1901, according to estimates from the Ministry of Agriculture, Australia in 1902 was able to produce enough food to feed approximately 8 million people. In other words, based on the current population, Australia's annual food production could not only feed the entire population. Citizens can also export in large quantities.
In terms of animal husbandry, Australia naturally does not give in. In terms of cattle and sheep, there are more and more pastures in Australia, and the number of farmers is also increasing.
This has resulted in the very low price of meat in Australia, and is also the reason why there is sufficient beef and mutton in the food supply of the military and college students.
At least in terms of logistical supply, especially in terms of food supply, Australia has maintained the same level of food supply as European countries.
Every soldier can eat two meals of meat every day, which is a treatment that soldiers from most other countries do not have.
Needless to say, the food supply for those precious college students is natural. In addition to the common beef and mutton, the school will also hire chefs from other countries to prepare other sumptuous dishes so that these students can satisfy their appetites while studying.
Although this will cost Australian national universities thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds more every year, the expenditure of a little money is definitely worth it in front of these university students.
In addition to changes in agriculture and animal husbandry, road construction in Australia has also ushered in huge changes.
Especially the roads between cities have all started renovation and expansion plans after the cement factories in the industrial zones expanded.
This is not only to prepare for future car sales, but also to effectively strengthen cultural exchanges and economic exchanges between cities in Australian states.
What do the brothers think of the marriage with the Netherlands? I would like to ask all my book friends for their opinions.
