The problem is, as a pilot for the localisation of the Austrsia Colony, Dili’s poption will inevitably experience a sudden surge in a short amount of time.


    Even this surge has already begun, with Dili’s poption increasing by more than 10,000 in a short period of time, which is the extent of its annual poption growth in previous years.


    Although it is difficult for a colony like Dili to attract immigrants, there would be no problem with the source of immigrants if the government strongly supports it.


    After all, the current per capita cultivatednd area in Dili is as high as 3 acres, far exceeding the current situation in Austrsia where the national per capita cultivatednd area is less than 2 acres.


    And the conditions offered by the Dili government for immigrants are very strong; as long as they are willing to reside permanently in Dili, they can obtain at least 4 acres of cultivatednd and have amodations arranged for free.


    Currently, agricultural ie in Austrsia is roughly maintained at around 15 Australian dors per acre, which means that with an area of 4 acres of cultivatednd, the annual ie would be at least 60 Australian dors, far exceeding the per capita annual ie in Austrsia.


    Furthermore, immigrants who are unwilling to engage in agriculture can choose to give up cultivatednd, and the colonial government will arrange jobs for them, ensuring that their ie is maintained at least at the per capita ie level.


    This is very attractive to some immigrants who cannot find work in their nativend.


    After all, the per capita ie level of Austrsia is not low, and there is no problem in supporting a family with a good job.


    Basically, as long as two of the three members of a family work, it is not a problem for the whole family to be well-fed.

    If all three have jobs, their ie inparison to European nations is definitely considered upper-middle ss.


    To be honest, Arthur was quite satisfied when he saw the vast ocean of crops in Dili for himself.


    Although the scale is notrge, it is still measured in units of 10,000 acres of cultivatednd, which makes it look quite spectacr.


    Especially since Dili’s cultivatednd is basically nned, withrge tracts ofnd connected together and all arerge-scale farms, making the visual effect even better.


    "Minister Robert, what will the food production in Dili be this year?" Arthur asked, in a good mood while looking at the vast crops in front of him and ncing at Agriculture Minister Robert, who was a step behind him.


    "Your Majesty," Minister Robert immediately replied respectfully, "At present, the per capita cultivatednd area in Dili has reached 3.7 acres, with a total cultivatednd area of approximately 440,000 acres. Based on our estimates of the grain output in Dilist year, this year’s grain production in Dili should reach around 95,000 tons, with a growth rate of at least 23.5%."


    This is actually a conservative estimate based onst year’s food production situation, and Minister Robert did not exaggerate. After all, if he boasted but failed to achieve it, Arthur’s punishment would not be lenient.


    Under Arthur’s leadership, the Austrsian Government has always adhered to an efficient and pragmatic attitude, eliminating the exaggeration of achievements and blind promises.


    Especially for some officials who only talk big and don’t do practical work, the supervision of the parliament is no joke.


    Arthur nodded silently, quite satisfied with the situation Minister Robert described.


    Firstly, there’s the growth of cultivatednd area, increasing from just over 3 acres per capita to 3.7 acres, which reflects the efforts of the Dili government in this regard.


    However,pared to the already developed nativend of Austrsia, the food production of Dili’snd is still rtively low.


    This requires a period of use and fertilisation before the productivity of thend can be improved.


    At present, the scale of cultivatednd in Dili can meet the demand for poption growth up to 500,000, which is beneficial for Dili’s development.


    After all, as a region that has decided to focus mainly on agricultural development, what kind of agricultural development can be talked about if it can’t achieve self-sufficiency in food?


    "What is the poption situation in Dili this year?" After confirming the rapid development of agriculture in Dili, Arthur turned his attention to the poption of Dili.


    "Your Majesty, the current poption of Dili is estimated to be around 123,000. By the end of this year, it can grow to around 140,000 to 150,000. If there are no problems in the future, within the Four-Year Development n, Dili’s poption can be increased to around 300,000, thus fully realising its localisation." Minister of Civil Affairs Philip promptly stepped forward to answer.


    A poption scale of 300,000 is indeed not low, especially for an ind area with an area of only 30,000 square kilometers.


    Now is not the future, and Austrsia does not have arge enough poption base; the increase in Dili’s poption is already the result of the government’s efforts.


    But given a hundred years of development time for Austrsia, based on the current rate of poption growth, it is absolutely possible for the poption of Austrsia to exceed 200-300 million.


    "How are the arrangements for the work and amodation of the new immigrants?" Arthur asked further.


    While the growth of immigrants is a good thing, their food, clothing, housing, and transportation must also be carefully arranged.


    No matter where these immigrantse from, once they permanently reside in Austrsia and obtain citizenship, they be citizens of Austrsia and enjoy legal protection.


    The government needs to pay close attention to the needs of these people and try to meet them as much as possible.


    Especially for new immigrants, there is a significant demand for housing, which must be met. After all, only when immigrants have a ce to live can they better immerse themselves in work and life.
