Chapter 397 The Land of Abundance(2/2)

Lamb is sold cheaper than vegetables. When I first came, I ate meat every day and my family even ate it badly. Compared to the small land in my hometown, I almost starved to death. The endless land here is so luxurious.

I never dreamed of such a good place, which is neither lukewarm nor hot all year round, with cattle and sheep growing in herds, and she has no worries about food and clothing.

Immigration to Australia does not distinguish between land. There is only a vast pasture here with very little arable land, so there is not so much arable land to be divided. Only when Immigration to Shangri-La Island, Sulawesi and Borneo will the land be divided.

But Wu Bo felt that it was not a loss. His family of four worked in Lu Qiang’s private farm and earned almost £40 a year, and he didn’t spend money on food and accommodation.

After working for a year, you can pay off your immigration loan. Save some savings for the rest and buy land and houses to get married for your son. Uncle Wu also wants to buy a few Malay wifes for his son and then spread the branches and leaves for the old Wu family in the future.

Houses in Qingdao are not expensive. The wooden houses on two floors of a single yard are about 70 to 80 pounds, and the larger yards are no more than 100 pounds. You can also buy a house with a loan.

So Uncle Wu planned to buy a wooden house next year and marry his eldest son in the next year. His life was booming, so he took root in Australia.

to be honest

Chinese wives really can't afford to marry, and they spend more than one or two hundred pounds. If Malay native women had not flocked to the Australian marriage market, many low-income men would have to be a bachelor for a few more years.

Isn’t it a Malay woman who is more than ten pounds a good taste?

For Wu's family, who was struggling on the poverty line half a year ago, it doesn't matter whether they can understand the dialect of their hometown. What is important is that they can work and give birth to children. Where do the merchants have so many things to pay attention to?

In Queensland

Chinese workers and whites pay equal pay for equal work, and the annual income of lower-class workers is about 7 to 10 pounds, while female workers are less, about 4 to 6 pounds.

This income level doubled compared to six or seven years ago. On the one hand, it is because of the increase in income brought about by the rapid economic development, and on the other hand, it is because all walks of life need a large number of staff. Australia's labor shortage is a long-standing problem.

However, as an Australian Dominion with a total population of only more than 6 million, the labor force that can be digested every year is limited, and millions of immigrants are already the limit (including Shangri-La and Borneo immigrants). No matter how many people there are, it will only cause chaos.

In recent years

The Queensland immigration department has begun to deliberately control the number of immigrants, mainly absorbing immigrants with skills, mainly free immigration, and mainly improving quality. It is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary people to obtain tickets to Australia.

Through the immigration department controlling the overall situation and determined by the market, free immigration with a scale of up to one million per year has become a profitable industry. It not only fattened the 19th century United Shipping Company, Huitong Bank and Shangri-La Bank, but also fattened many industries, expanded the internal market of Australia, and formed a positive virtuous cycle.

Because of the bamboo weaving skills, Wu Bo’s family was able to obtain approval from the immigration department and successfully obtain an immigration loan to this rich place with milk and honey.
