The Australian Revolution of 1828

The idea of ​​receiving the Mandate of Heaven is the source of the legal system of Chinese dynasties and an important basis for the legal system of the Xia Dynasty.

Having worshipped Heaven, Earth, and their ancestors, the Xia state gained the approval of Heaven and Earth. What remained was the approval of the people of Hanyang, which required cultural promotion.

Culturally, Han Qingyun adopted the terminology of the Han ethnic group, thoroughly imprinting the Han ethnic imprint on every immigrant, thus achieving cultural unification.

The enthronement ceremony lasted until 1 p.m., thanks to the fact that the Xia Kingdom had too few people skilled in etiquette and did not have a good grasp of the details.

Otherwise, according to the traditional enthronement ceremony, it would probably take a whole day.

Back at the Xia Palace, Han Qingyun relaxed his weary body before saying, "Queen, Consort, I entrust the affairs of the palace to you!"

"There have been many battles lately, and I really haven't had time to deal with them."

Queen Mengyu is over five months pregnant, and her baby bump is already very noticeable.

Because of the enthronement ceremony, Meng Yu was also very tired. She found a comfortable position on the soft couch, touched her protruding pregnant belly, and said, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, it's nothing for me to be a little busy!"

"It's just that the Imperial Concubine is also pregnant, and there's no one to attend to His Majesty, so I'm worried!"

Yes, thanks to Han Qingyun's persistent efforts, Gao Jingyi became pregnant three months ago. It's just that it's still early, and her baby bump isn't very noticeable yet.

Han Qingyun was quite proud of his masterpiece.

As long as the two children are born healthy, the royal family will have a successor, and the officials and people of Xia will feel more at ease.

Everyone knows the consequences of having no heir; not to mention educated people, even ordinary people who have never been to school know this.

With a small royal family, if there is any change in the successor, the normal and orderly succession of the country cannot be guaranteed, which will inevitably cause some turmoil.

Han Qingyun understood this principle and naturally hoped that the two could have a smooth delivery.

Perhaps because she was a woman, Meng Yu was more sensitive and had already started thinking about selecting concubines for Han Qingyun.

This move wasn't out of jealousy, but mainly to safeguard her power as queen. By personally participating in the selection of concubines for the palace, Meng Yu could cultivate relationships with trustworthy individuals.

If Han Qingyun were to be chosen for investiture, and the Queen did not bestow any favors upon him, the chances of winning her over would be extremely slim.

This is also why Queen Mengyu was so eager to bring new women into the palace, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of her pregnancy.

The blatant hint now is that they want Han Qingyun to hand over this task.

Although Han Qingyun was a modern time traveler, he was essentially a feudal emperor and would abide by some of the rules of feudal emperors. He said, "Your Majesty, if you have a suitable candidate, you can send him to serve me."

"If we still haven't found a suitable one, let's discuss it with the Imperial Concubine!"

Both women are currently pregnant and have reservations. To ensure the safe delivery of their babies and avoid miscarriage, they have chosen to avoid each other.

Now that she had obtained the power to choose concubines from Han Qingyun, Queen Mengyu had naturally achieved her goal. She said, "Your Majesty, I don't have a suitable candidate yet. I will discuss it with the Noble Consort later."

Currently, Han Qingyun has no suitable marriage partner, and in order to ensure the prosperity of the imperial clan, this matter can only be handled by two women.

Consort Gao Jingyi readily agreed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will follow the Queen's arrangements."

Regardless of whose advice is followed, the task of expanding the harem has been successfully completed.

After the two left together to prepare for matters concerning the inner palace, Han Qingyun summoned the Grand Secretary Luo Bingzhong.

During this period, preparations for the enthronement ceremony have caused quite a bit of delay.

With the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to Heaven, Earth, and ancestors concluded, it was time to attend to state affairs.

The air route from the mainland to Da Nang, Annam, Natuna Island, Lan Phong Pontianak, Xunyang Island (Bali), Lai Duong County (Pidamara), and Hanyang Prefecture should be fully established.

As long as Natuna Island and Xunyang Island are preserved, the immigration process will proceed smoothly.

Han Qingyun handed the labor plan to Luo Bingzhong and questioned the recent laborers, saying, "Hurry up and urge the laborers in Xunyang County; it's been almost two months."

"The high-ranking officials and dignitaries that Wei Guochang dealt with in Xunyang County have all been brought to justice, but the remaining tenant farmers haven't even arrived in Hanyang yet. What exactly is Zhang Zhenghe doing?"

Zhang Zhenghe had written about this matter, and Luo Bingzhong explained on his behalf, saying, "Your Majesty, the laborers are late in arriving, and this is not the fault of Magistrate Zhang (Zhenghe)."

"When Commander Li (Guochen) led troops to Natuna Island, he was worried about unforeseen circumstances, so he conscripted the men from these tenant farmers to prevent a sudden change in the situation that could lead to defeat."

Han Qingyun was aware of this matter and had seen Li Guochen's report. However, if the laborers did not arrive in port, the mining industry in Hanyang would face a labor shortage, which made Han Qingyun anxious.

The reason for bringing this up now is to hope that the Ministry of Civil Affairs can implement this matter as soon as possible and not delay it any longer.

As the chief minister of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Luo Bingzhong naturally knew the importance of the laborers, and quickly agreed, saying, "I will immediately issue a document urging the Garrison Command to instruct Commander Li (Guochen) to send the laborers to Hanyang as soon as possible."

Nearly 10000 tenant farmers in Xunyang County are affected, with a preliminary estimate of approximately 62000 people. Assuming a 50/50 ratio of men to women, this means there are at least 31000 men and 31000 women involved.

Excluding the elderly and young, the number of male laborers is approximately 25000, and at least 20000 Chinese miners will be released from the mines.

In addition to the other 31000 women, and after deducting those who are infertile or too young, there are at least 20000 women of childbearing age.

By remarrying these 20000 women of childbearing age, Xia Guoping would gain 20000 people for free, bringing the total population to over 93000.

The development will add 20000 women to the workforce, and with the addition of 20000 Chinese miners released from the mines, it will be equivalent to adding nearly 40000 industrial workers.

40000 people would be a significant addition.

Moreover, due to the impact of the war, of the 10 people planned to immigrate in 1828, only more than 13000 have been completed so far, and the remaining 87000 have become a joke.

To avoid becoming a laughing stock, Han Qingyun had no choice but to put pressure on them, urging them, "We need to urge them in Xunyang, and we also need to expedite the immigration process."

"You are both the Grand Secretary and the Minister of Immigration and Trade; your responsibilities are immense!"

Having worked on immigration for so long, Luo Bingzhong still had a plan in mind. He said, "Your Majesty, a detailed plan for immigration has been developed."

"During the war, the Immigration Department was also busy, facilitating the immigration of nearly 6000 people from the mainland. Currently, various stations are actively guiding Chinese immigrants from Lanfang, Annam, and Natuna Island to Hanyang."

"Based on estimates from these stations, at least 35000 migrants will arrive in Hanyang, just waiting for the migrant ships to dock."

Han Qingyun was immediately puzzled and asked, "With population so important, are all the people in Lanfang idiots? Would they agree to this?"

Luo Bingzhong, however, remained completely calm and confident, saying, "Your Majesty, Lanfang is more like a company. As long as you pay, anything can be discussed."

Looking back at Lanfang's history, it seems that this is indeed the case; no wonder they ultimately destroyed themselves.

However, the number of immigrants was clearly insufficient. Han Qingyun still hoped to bring in as many immigrants as possible from the mainland, saying, "Now that the war is over, we need to expedite the immigration process; we can't afford any more delays!"

"Also, Natuna Island, the name is too rustic, change it to Zhaoyang Island and Zhaoyang County."
