Chapter 548

On the third day of the holiday after Christmas, the coast of Australasia was crowded with tourists and local people.

This is also a unique feature of Australasia tourism. When the northern hemisphere is still in the cold winter, Australasia is in summer.

Because Australasia and the northern hemisphere have completely opposite seasons, it is still very attractive to tourists from Europe and the United States in the northern hemisphere.

No one can refuse to go to a cold place to escape the heat in the hot summer, and no one can refuse to go to a warm place for vacation in the cold winter.

In addition, Australasia is unique in the southern hemisphere. As the most powerful country in the southern hemisphere, it naturally has the best tourism resources in the entire southern hemisphere and can enjoy the vast majority of tourists in the northern hemisphere.

This is indeed the case. The tourism data in the year-end summary has fully demonstrated that Australasia's tourism industry has been rising steadily since the end of the war, and the number of tourists received each year has increased by an extremely exaggerated number.

Throughout 1920, the tourism industry in Australasia welcomed a total of 37.352 million visitors, of which domestic tourists accounted for 57.1%, totaling 21.32799 million. Foreign tourists accounted for 42.9%, totaling 16.02461 million.

The data here only counts the number of people received by the tourism industry in various places, and does not count the specific number of people.

A person may go to several tourist attractions a year, which is the real reason why the total number of tourists received is as high as 37 million.

The total number of tourists of 37.352 million brought 44.8733 million Australian dollars in revenue to the tourism industry in Australasia, and created 3.879 million Australian dollars in tax revenue for the Australasia government.

These data have increased significantly compared to 1919, and make the Australasia economy look more prosperous.

Although all countries have a serious unemployment crisis, this cannot hinder the rapid economic development of countries around the world.

In particular, the world war participants in the European continent have recovered their economies very quickly, as if the post-war prosperity has arrived.

According to the economic reports released by various countries, the economic growth rate of almost all powerful countries is above 6%, except for Russia, which is in the midst of a civil war.

Such good news has made people in various countries go crazy, and many media are also boasting about the arrival of world prosperity.

Is it really prosperous? I'm afraid not.

Although the economies of various countries have ushered in huge growth, which countries have now recovered to the pre-war economic scale?

Except for the United States, Australasia and island countries, no powerful country has been able to return to the pre-war level. Is this real prosperity?

But why are European countries still advocating such economic prosperity?

In the final analysis, there is only one reason, that is, the politicians of those countries are just dressing up the current status of their countries for their own political achievements.

Can they not see the crisis in their own country? Of course it is impossible. But to solve this crisis, under the constraints of various conditions, it is not only difficult to solve it, but also a bit of a loss.

Anyway, the term of office of these foreign politicians is only a few years. As long as they can safely survive their term of office, who will fight for the next government?

Thanks to the efforts of the government, the agricultural progress in Australasia has achieved quite good results.

At present, the total cultivated land area in Australasia has reached 39.77 million acres, and the total grain output has reached 19.2 million tons, with a growth rate of 4.1% over last year.

Although Australia's population has reached 22.574 million, such a developed grain output is still enough for all the people in the country to eat for three years.

The government has well completed the grain target in the four-year plan. Australasia's grain output is likely to reach more than 20 million tons before the four-year plan is completely ended.

Although grain output is far greater than domestic demand, there are many countries with food crises abroad, and the income from growing grain is still quite good.

According to statistics from the financial department, the per capita income in Australasia reached 60.1 Australian dollars in 1920, which was also the first time to exceed 60 Australian dollars.

The planting income of one acre of land in Australasia is about 17 to 22 Australian dollars. According to the situation that the per capita cultivated land area is close to three acres, the per capita income of farmers is about 51 to 66 Australian dollars, which is basically above and below the per capita income level.

Although it seems to be somewhat different from the per capita income, in fact, the selling price of grain in that year will also affect the income of farmers.

At the same time, farmers' daily food expenses are basically at cost price. Although their income may be slightly lower than that of urban residents, their expenses are also much lower, and their living standards may not be much lower than that of urban residents.

It is precisely because farming can bring quite good income that a considerable number of people in Australasia choose to buy land and start farms.

Regardless of the size of the farm, there is basically no shortage of sales channels for food. At present, large and small food companies have been born, specializing in the sale of food.

As long as they comply with the relevant regulations of Australasia, the government does not have too many restrictions on these food import and export companies.

It is worth mentioning that a considerable number of the new nobles Arthur granted also chose to build castles on their own fiefs and plant food on the remaining land.

Arthur would not stop this, after all, after the land was granted to them, the property rights belonged to them.

Except that they cannot establish a country or territory without sovereignty, they can do whatever they want on the land, which is in accordance with the law.

Arthur actually wants to see these new nobles take the lead in running farms. Most of the lands allocated to these people are newly reclaimed lands, which will not affect the original development plan of Australasia.

They set up farms on these lands, which can not only increase the grain production in Australasia, but also control the grain production in the hands of the nobles, which will also strengthen Arthur's influence.

As long as Arthur is willing, the grain of these nobles can also become Arthur's grain reserves. With food in hand, there is no panic in the heart. This sentence is never outdated.

As time entered 1921, the aristocratic school founded by Arthur specifically for the children of the new nobles has been built and opened.

This aristocratic school is called Sydney Royal College. The annual tuition fee is a figure that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and the admission requirements are very harsh, with an extremely strict review system.

In addition to the children of the new nobles, those who can enter this school to study are basically the children of dignitaries, or scientific research experts and scientists with considerable reputation.

This school has been established from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and university, which can be said to cover a person's entire learning career.

The purpose of establishing this school is very simple. On the one hand, it is to cultivate the descendants of these new nobles and ensure that the descendants of these nobles, that is, the future nobles, are not incompetent wastes, and can serve the future royal family and the rulers of the country.

Secondly, the noble school can also unite the entire noble class more closely. Arthur also decided to send several little guys to this school to let them meet more descendants of new nobles and cultivate the relationship between them and their subordinates from an early age.

It is precisely because of the unique purpose of this school that the school's training system is also very different from that of normal schools.

The training system of the Royal Academy can be roughly divided into two types, one is politics in national governance, and the other is military in marching and fighting.

Under these two major systems, there are also specific subcategories including political science, economics, management, etc., which will tailor a better academic plan for each student according to their different personalities and characteristics.

In short, the Royal College is dedicated to cultivating talents in national governance and military for the royal family and the country. These noble children who graduate from the Royal College will become the right-hand man of Arthur or the monarch in the future.

Because of the characteristics of the new nobility, it has been ensured that the new nobility will not rebel against Arthur. Their rights are all given by Arthur, and Arthur can also control this class at will.

In this case, it becomes necessary to improve the ability of the new nobility and the new nobility in the future.

The aristocratic class is always the right-hand man of the monarch, and the ability of the left and right arms also determines the ability of the monarch to a certain extent.

Of course, in order not to create class contradictions in education, not all members of the royal family will study at the Royal College.

Except for the heirs to the monarch, other children can freely choose the school and major they want to go to.

However, after so many years of development, the education industry in Australasia is also relatively famous internationally.

Some well-known universities, such as the National Academy and the Royal Military Academy, are quite famous in the powerful countries, and there is no need to worry about the education problems of these schools.

Whether it is the Royal Academy or other universities, the universities in Australasia are still quite unique.

Emphasis on practice and light on theory has always been the development direction of the University of Australasia. Of course, this does not mean that theory is not valued at all.

It just means that on the basis of emphasizing theory, practice is what the universities in Australasia think is more important.

In addition, the universities hold military training once a year. College students who graduate from various universities in Australasia can proudly boast that they are capable and strong.

The ability of college students determines the development speed of various industries in a country to a certain extent, not to mention college students in this era.

It is not an era when college students are numerous. After 20 years of development, the per capita education level in Australasia has only been raised to the junior high school level.

Because of the influx of a large number of immigrants every year, it is difficult to raise the per capita education level to the high school level in a short period of time.

After all, above high school is college, and the average high school degree also represents one thing, that is, the increase in the number of college students and the decrease in the value of college education.
