    Suzaku City on the southeast coast of Australia is currently the largest city in Australia.

    Of course, although it is said to be a city, it is actually only the size of a small county, and this small county is still very simple and primitive. Except for one main road, which is paved with cement, there are some houses built with reinforced concrete on both sides.  In addition, there are still wooden houses everywhere in Zhuque City, and most of them are low wooden sheds.

    Outside the wooden sheds, there are a large number of yurts, all of which are very simple.

    "However, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the entire Suzaku City has everything.

    Commodities from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty and overseas are traded here. Many trading houses have opened offices here. Ships come from Nanyang every day, and even ships leave from here to the South Golden Continent every half month.  , or there may be a ship returning to the Ming Dynasty from the South Golden Continent via Zhuque City.

    Even the First Bank of Ming Dynasty has opened a branch here in the main city to facilitate the exchanges between merchants and to facilitate the daily life of Australian immigrants.

    In addition, the Ming Dynasty also set up the Australian Chief Envoy in Zhuque City, turning the entire huge Australia into a province, and appointed officials to come to Australia to manage Australian immigrants, collect taxes, etc.

    This is also the biggest change in the fifteen years since the Ming Dynasty, which is the large-scale appointment of floating officials to go overseas. There are a large number of floating officials going to these areas in Nanyang, the Western Regions, Hezhong, Grassland, Liaodong, Australia, and Huangjinzhou.  At the same time, many new provinces were established one after another.

    On the Nanyang side, in addition to the original four provinces of Luzon, Jiaozhi, Xianglin, and Zhenghe, Bei'ao Province has been set up in the vast island area from Nanyang to Australia. The jurisdiction is very large, almost covering  All the islands in a large area east of Balni Island and Java.

    Of course, Bei'ao Province is also sparsely populated. Only a few islands are open. The rapidly developing plantation economy has not yet developed here. Only some colonial strongholds and ports have been established along the way to facilitate travel to and from Australia and to South Gold.  continent.

    Northern Australia Province, Australia Province, and Golden Continent also have three provinces, North Golden Continent Province, Central Golden Continent Province and Southern Golden Continent Province. Each of them assigned a large number of officials to Golden Continent and started ocean trade from Tianjin.  He took over the entire Golden Continent from his own hands, consolidated the Ming Dynasty's rule over these areas, and at the same time gradually carried out standardized management.

    Of course, the most important reason is to start levying taxes on the Golden Continent. There are so many gold mines here that a huge tax can be levied every year.

    Deng Nan is the first chief envoy of Australia Province. He is not very old, only in his early fifties. Well, for an official, being in his fifties is really very young.

    So being sent to Australia as Chief Envoy was obviously a difficult thing for him to accept. What kind of place is Australia?

    This is further south in Nanyang. The real sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is thousands of miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The newspapers you see here are all newspapers published by the Ming Dynasty two months ago. It takes only one visit.  Two months' time.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s far away, the key is that Australia is sparsely populated and sparsely populated.

    In addition to the immigrants who were forced to migrate to Australia by the imperial court, there are only those businesses and individuals who are seeking gold overseas. Australia now has a population of less than 100,000. The key is that there are tens of thousands of Mongolian grasslands among them.  people.

    You said that being sent to such a place, Deng Nan's political future is basically over. If he hadn't wanted to go back to his hometown to retire, Deng Nan would have wanted to ask Emperor Hongzhi for an invitation to go home and retire.  .

    "Alas~"

    Sitting in his office, Deng Nan couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the map of Australia. Looking at the map of Ming Dynasty, he saw that the distance between them was really too far.

    "Just make peace with it now that it's here. The good thing is that now Australia has the final say on everything."

    ¡°One thing that Deng Nan is thankful for is that here in Australia, he is the real local emperor. He has the final say not only in administrative matters, but also in military matters.

    The Ming Dynasty had a regular army of 2,000 men stationed in Australia, and he, Deng Nan, had the power to command this army.

    There is no way, Australia is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the information transmission is too slow. Naturally, it must be given enough power, so as to facilitate the management and rule in Australia.

    This Australian chief envoy is almost equivalent to the governor of the Tang Dynasty, so he definitely cannot do this for a long time and can only play like this during the transition period.You can exchange a nigger's head for three silver dollars from the Chief Minister of Australia!  "

    Soon, later generations were criticized by historians as being worthless, scolded as inhumane, without any humanity, and the policy of a genocide was announced from the Chief Secretary of Australia to all parts of Australia.

    A head of a local aboriginal can be exchanged for three silver dollars. This silver dollar is one tael of silver. In other words, the head of a local aboriginal can be worth three taels of silver.

    This price is not very high. When the Ming army is fighting outside, it will easily exceed this number. However, the opponents of the Ming army are all famous and powerful families on the earth.

    The local aborigines here in Australia are all war scum, primitive tribes who can only use stone knives, spears and boomerangs. The key is that they don't even have war horses.

    As soon as the news came out, immigrants throughout Australia became excited, and there was a job of making money.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
