Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 56 The Soaring Valley Town

  The whole valley town is full of a beaming atmosphere. Participants in the distribution can get a free homestead in the planned living area of ​​the valley town and invest in construction by themselves.

  Insufficient funds can take a loan, and the Red River Valley Bank will issue a banknote with a value of no more than 15 pounds per household, with an annual interest of 1.5 pounds.

That’s right, it’s a money ticket printed by the Red River Valley. The use value is equivalent to the relevant currency value of the British pound. There are only two pennies and two pennies in value. 15 pounds is a thick pile, which can only be found within the Red River Valley ranch and Brisbane. The class is directly used by hotels and businesses, and outflow is not allowed.

  The money ticket is printed by the United States and can theoretically be exchanged for the equivalent British pound currency, guaranteed by the credibility of the Red River Valley Ranch.

  This policy was launched at the right time, in line with the strong consumer demand generated by large-scale marriages, and detonated the market in a short time.

  All Chinese who come to Australia have sold themselves more than once before, just to raise ferry tickets and inbound poll tax for travelling to Australia. They are no strangers to the development of debt.

  There is almost no room for hesitation in the extremely urgent needs of marriage and childbirth.

  If you don’t borrow from others, you have women, you have the land, and you have also taken over a lot of debts. Wouldn’t you live in the wild without building a house?

  It is the dream of every Chinese to start a family and start a business. It is about to be realized in the Red River Valley, so there is no hesitation.

What's more, the conditions of the bank are more broad. They do not restrict the personal freedom of the Chinese, and do not restrict the way of working and living. They are willing to pan for gold or go for gold. grazing.

  There is only one tightly controlling the Chinese. Before the completion of the contract, the spouse and the child shall not leave the Red River Valley ranch at the same time.

  If you violate this clause

  The bank will issue a wanted order for a reward through the channel of Xinghua Club. Once caught, it will be fined more than 10 times the amount owed and forced to perform hard labor.

  This is Li Fushou’s style of acting. He considers issues carefully and tries his best not to leave room to test humanity.

  The introduction of a monetary policy, followed by a large number of supporting facilities, released demand for free allocation of homesteads, expanded consumer demand, provided more jobs, severe punishment system, practical measures, and so on.

  Constrain the flood in the channel and proceed in the established direction.

  As the saying goes; what kind of person plays what kind of bird.

  The secretariat and its subordinates, various companies gradually adapt to this style, and carry forward this style, and pass it down well.

   Carry out sufficient investigations and demonstrations in everything, do not rush to achieve results, act rigorously and carefully, taking into account the relevant supporting measures and pros and cons, once implemented, they will be promoted efficiently, eliminating all interference with vigorous execution.

  In just over ten days

  The bank processed more than 8,000 applications and lent 128,100 pounds, which effectively promoted the large-scale construction of the valley town, more than quadrupling the previous investment.

  Today's residential areas planned for the valley town are all construction sites, which are in strong demand. In turn, it provides a lot of job opportunities.

  It’s the end of December

  More than 8,000 Chinese eaves-style tenement buildings were erected. Each family has a small fenced yard in front of each household, and stables and work sheds in the back. The fixed population of the town has soared to more than 27,000, and more than 90% are Chinese.

  In Valley Town

  Eight pounds can build a two-story tenement building, with a solid rock structure on the first floor and a wooden structure on the second floor.

  If the second floor is all rock structure, and the cost is more than 13 pounds, it will be very embarrassing to be able to use other money.

  It also costs a lot to get married. Pots, pans, pans, and bedding must be provided by yourself. Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are indispensable, new clothes for women are indispensable, and banquets are indispensable...

  Smart Chinese thought of another way, that is, the Hongmen Mutual Aid Association, where 12 to 15 people form a meeting to help each other build houses for free, and take care of themselves.

This saves the labor and builds a two-story tenement building with a rock structure, which costs a little over 10 pounds. The remaining stables, workshops and other ancillary facilities will be built by one person in the future. .

  The coking coal plant was officially ignited and put into production at the end of December. This is another major event in the development history of Red River Valley, which means the birth of a super cash cow.

  As long as you transport high-quality coking coal to North America, you can get an ultra-high price of 20 US dollars per ton, and the cash is payable on delivery.

  Honghe Valley Coking Coal Plant had a good time, and it was hard not to make a fortune.

After President Heatherford-B-Hays took office, the national economy quickly recovered from the ashes of the Civil War.

In order to show the achievements of American industry, join the battle for maritime hegemony of emerging industrial powers, and commemorate the centennial celebration of the founding of the nation in 1889, President Heatherford-B-Hays approved the U.S. Department of the Navy to fully develop the two ocean fleets. plan.

  The construction of this large-scale iron-clad cruiser fleet lasted 10 years. It will be constructed in both directions in the Atlantic and Pacific at the same time. In addition to the main steam iron-clad battleships, cruisers and destroyers, a large number of military auxiliary ships will be built for the fleet.

  The entire construction plan is huge. There are 16 armored battleships alone, and there are more than 40 coast cruisers, with tonnages of thousands of tons.

  Fisher’s call for orders flew like snow flakes, and the company’s chairman, Mr. Fischer, will also arrive in Australia on a Pacific Express shuttle cruise after Christmas to discuss major cooperation issues face to face.

  All this indicates that the valley town will take off soon.

  In these days, new tenement buildings have sprung up like bamboo shoots in the residential areas on the outskirts of the valley town, extending far away.

There was a surge of people on the land in the subsequent blockbuster planning. By the beginning of 1878, the town committee had approved more than 14,000 residential land. Chinese people poured into the Red River Valley with unprecedented enthusiasm to settle in the Red River Valley. Quiet life in a foreign country.

  More than 5,000 white women who have arrived at the Red River Valley Ranch, most of them arranged marriages. In this age without family planning, it is expected that next year will usher in a large-scale baby boom.

  In addition, there are more than 6,000 disaster victims in southwestern Shandong who have arrived in Australia one after another, of which 70% are young women, and the rest are teenagers and young men.

  These Chinese women did not forcibly arrange the marriage, because their deeds are in the hands of the master, who dares to stretch out their hands so indifferently.

  Chop which hand you stretch out, absolutely unambiguous.

  This is actually a deliberate arrangement made by Li Fushou. He pretended to forget about it, and kept this large piece of delicious and attractive goal to attract the Chinese around him.

  As long as you have resources in your hand, are you afraid of not getting the bait?

  After training, a large number of young Chinese women were arranged to enter various fields of woolen mills and food processing plants, which played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

  Besides, they still want to make money for the master?

  Don’t you need to pay for the ferry ticket? £7,500 was thrown into the water. This sum of more than 6,000 victims would return all the money in just one year, and they would make a huge profit.

  So Li Fushou didn't worry for a long time, let everyone get used to it for a while.

  According to the arrangement;

  About a thousand young people under the age of 18 have all entered the affiliated school of Red River Valley College, began a systematic learning process, and received military management and military training, as well as daily brainwashing education.

   Line up to sing praise songs, sing thanksgiving songs before eating, and start a day of study and military life under the watch of the principal's portrait.

   Incidentally, Li Fushou personally served as the principal of Red River Valley College and affiliated schools. He does not dislike this official junior, because this is the base for Red River Valley to train core talents and the hope for the future lies.

  Most of the strong men arrange to enter steel production bases and shipyards, and use hard work to make money for their masters.

  This group of people is not in a hurry to marry, at least we will talk about it after three or five years of work.

  Nowadays, the valley town has changed drastically. The lively market is crowded with people, and the market is prosperous.

  Cross Street in the town center

   Standing tall is the 5-storey Liyuan Theater, opposite to the Paramount Ballroom in Victorian architecture, in addition to large department stores, restaurants, wine shops, money houses, post offices, and other large buildings.

   There are tall trees on both sides of the wide cross street. Under the shade of green trees, the street road is divided into three blocks. In the middle is a fast carriage lane for 4 carriages, separated by a green belt formed by tall trees.

  Further inside is a wide pedestrian path. People flow around, so you don’t have to worry about being hit by a galloping carriage and walk your own way.

  Build drainage ditches under the road, so that there is no accumulation of water on rainy days, and it is clean and tidy.

Walking along the wide cross street to the end, about 2,000 meters, is the Chinese palace-style building of the Red River Valley Management Committee. This is the brain and center of the entire Red River Valley. At present, only the front square and the conference hall have been built. There are still a large number of buildings that have not been constructed.

Next to    is the original dense forest. After a simple cleaning of the shrubs and paved with road stones, it is an elegant resting place.

  This huge forest is many times larger than the entire town combined. It has always maintained its original appearance, with gurgling streams in the forest, animals infested, and an original ecological scene.

  Li Fushou strictly prohibits development. Some of the land in the Red River Valley pastures is that there is no need to deforest and destroy the original ecology.

  If you build a forest park from the ground up, how much manpower and material resources will be spent, and how much money will it cost? Isn’t this in vain?

Opposite the management committee is the heavily guarded left and right guard camps. The number has grown to about 600. Under the leadership of German instructors, strict military training is carried out every day, and the combat effectiveness is no less inferior to the German soldiers of the same period.

  This is Li Fushou’s most dependable military iron fist, and his dog-playing stick, which is sufficient to resist Brisbane’s threat from New South Wales, to ensure his own safety and the steady development of the Red River.

  He will not pin his safety on whites’ charity, on whites’ goodwill, and will never allow others to disturb his farming ideals.

  I just want to plant a field quietly, why is it so difficult?
