Chapter 97 Changes in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry (Please Subscribe!)

Population growth is crucial for Australia. If Australia can maintain at least 100,000 immigrants and 120,000 new population per year, it can effectively alleviate the embarrassing situation of insufficient population.

Because of various large-scale constructions, Australia's per capita income has also reached more than 10 pounds. Correspondingly, taxes have also increased.

In 1901, Australia's total fiscal revenue was about 4.3 million pounds, and total fiscal expenditure was 13 million pounds.

Although the fiscal revenue and expenditure are extremely unbalanced, this is because a large number of constructions have been launched. Without the cost of these constructions, Australia's fiscal surplus can be nearly 2 million pounds per year.

The Australian Treasury also has a huge amount of funds. Although it spends more than 10 million pounds every year, the available funds of the Treasury remain above 150 million pounds.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, Australia added thousands of individual business households last year.

Most of them have opened their own small factories and small shops, and have become shop owners and bosses themselves.

Although their funds are small, the large ones have less than 1,000 pounds, and the small ones even have only 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 will become the richest man in Australia, thus driving the development of Australian enterprises.

In addition to these, the construction of nursing homes, orphanages, hospitals and schools is also progressing steadily.

In terms of people's livelihood, Arthur attaches great importance to it. This has also led to a large investment by the Australian government in people's livelihood.

Of course, a large amount of investment has also brought a lot of returns. The total number of orphanages and nursing homes has exceeded fifty, and the number of elderly people and orphans has exceeded five thousand and three thousand respectively.

This has accommodated most of the lonely elderly and orphans, and has also made the work of taking in the elderly and orphans a great success.

In Australia, when people mention nursing homes and orphanages, they will look towards the manor with fanatical and admiring eyes, because there lives the monarch they trust.

Needless to say, schools are one of the projects that the government attaches great importance to.

So far, Australia has nearly two hundred primary schools and twenty secondary schools, and tens of thousands of new students can enter schools every year.

The training effect of national universities is also very gratifying. Although the number of new college students in 1901 is not large, only over 600, a total of more than 1,400 college students have been born in two years.

Because Australian national universities generally adopt a semi-theoretical and semi-practical teaching method, these college students will also be able to work very smoothly after graduation.

With the Victoria Award, Australia attracts high-end talents, and then establishes education to improve the shortage of mid- 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, Australia currently has more than 30 private clinics, of which New South Wales has more than 10.

These small private clinics can also make sufficient improvements to Australia's medical environment, and even in the case of a shortage of medical talents, they play a greater role than new hospitals.

Judging from the number of talents in Australia, even if only one large hospital is established in each state, there is already a serious talent shortage problem.

Except for the various departments of the New South Wales State Hospital in the capital, which have been gradually established and opened to the public, some departments of other hospitals are still facing talent problems.

This situation may only be solved by the Victoria Award. Only by attracting world-renowned medical talents and then cultivating low-end medical talents can there be hope to completely solve the shortage of medical talents.

The influx of a large number of indigenous people has also brought sufficient changes to another sector in Australia, that is, the agricultural sector.

Originally, due to the lack of manpower, Australia's land development was very slow, and it can even be described as a turtle's 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 to pan for gold, but few people make a lot of money from panning for gold.

A large number of people immigrated to Australia because of the gold rush, but often became one of Australia's poor civilians.

Now that the indigenous people have joined, Australia's land development, especially the development of arable land, has made significant progress. Not only has the per capita land become more, but the per capita arable land area has also increased significantly.

It has a sufficient impact on Australia's food production. Although it was not obvious in 1901, according to the estimate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Australia in 1902 could produce enough food for about 8 million people. In other words, based on the current population, Australia's annual grain output can not only feed all citizens, but also be exported in large quantities.

Australia is naturally not far behind in animal husbandry. In terms of cattle and sheep, Australia has more and more ranches and more and more breeders.

This has led to very cheap meat prices in Australia, which is why the army and college students have sufficient beef and mutton in their food supply.

At least in terms of logistics supply, especially food logistics supply, Australia has maintained the same level of food supply as European countries.

Each soldier can eat two meals of meat a day, which is a treatment that most soldiers in other countries do not have.

Needless to say, the food supply for those precious college students is naturally not enough. In addition to the common beef and mutton, the school will also hire chefs from other countries to make other sumptuous dishes so that these students can satisfy their appetites while studying.

Although this will cost the Australian National University thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds more in logistics each year, it is absolutely worthwhile for these college students to spend a little money.

In addition to changes in agriculture and animal husbandry, Australia's road construction has also ushered in huge changes.

Especially the roads between cities, after the cement plants in the industrial zone expanded, all of them started renovation and expansion plans.

This is not only to prepare for future car sales, but also to effectively strengthen cultural and economic exchanges between cities in Australia.
