Chapter 323, Interstellar Colonization Act
In the office of Li Fu, the emperor of the Centauri Galaxy, in the palace of Chang'an City, the capital of the Centauri Galaxy Empire, Li Fu was reviewing documents one by one. Although the cabinet was handling government affairs, there were still many things that needed Li Fu's signature and review. He spent half a day on this every day, and the remaining half a day was used to go to the laboratory for research. He could not forget his old profession.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Fang Zheng, the cabinet ministers Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao and others want to see you."
Li Fu's secretary Ding Xuan knocked on the door and reminded gently.
"Let everyone in."
Li Fu nodded.
"Haha, good news, our last army has sent a victory report, three galaxies and four life planets have been incorporated into the territory of our empire."
Soon, a hearty voice came from outside the door. It was obvious who it was, except Yu Liang. Fang Zheng, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao and others also had smiles on their faces, and they were obviously in a very good mood.
"Everyone, please sit down. Sister Xuan, please make tea and bring some fruit."
Seeing everyone coming, Li Fu smiled and motioned for everyone to come. He has never been arrogant, so everyone sat down naturally. Soon, Ding Xuan also had people serve tea, fruit, etc.
Good news came from the three expansion armies one after another. The first news came from the Imperial Garrison Corps led by Liu Xuling, who was the closest. The local civilization of the Hercules Galaxy they were heading to was still in the primitive tribal civilization stage. It was easy to occupy the Hercules Galaxy without spending any effort, and then began to expand to the next galaxy through the Hercules Galaxy.
Then there was good news from Zhan Fei. The Eridanus Galaxy was the same as the Centaurus Galaxy. There were actually two life planets. Although the local civilization had developed, it was still in the feudal society stage. It was also occupied without spending any effort, and then continued to expand to the next galaxy.
The farthest route was the Aquila galaxy, which was also visited by the Imperial Royal Legion led by Luo Xiaoyao. Recently, it was reported that the local goblin civilization was easily defeated using biological weapons, and the imperial scientists who went with the fleet also obtained the optical magnetic traction technology from the goblin civilization, which was a fruitful harvest.
No wonder Fang Zheng, Chen Bin, Yu Liang and others were all smiling. Three galaxies were easily incorporated into the empire's territory, four life planets were obtained, and optical magnetic traction technology was obtained. The strength of the empire was rapidly expanding.
"Haha, I didn't expect how lucky we were. The civilizations in the three galaxies had not really developed. We easily obtained three galaxies. Now we can add three more stars to our imperial flag."
Cao Haitao laughed happily, and the others laughed one by one after hearing it. They were in a good mood. The wider the territory, the more resources they had, and the larger the buffer zone.
The reason is very simple. During World War II, in front of German tanks, small countries were basically destroyed in a few days. Only a big country like the Soviet Union, which has a vast territory and deep depth, still has strong strength to fight back even if it loses a large area of land.
The same is true for the East Asian battlefield. Although Japan occupied half of China's territory, it became less and less powerful as it fought. China's territory is too large, and millions of troops were trapped in it, and eventually they were slowly dragged down.
Everyone knows the importance of having a vast territory, so when they see the empire's territory become vast, everyone is naturally happier. In the future, the empire will develop like an atomic reaction and quickly occupy a vast star map in the starry sky.
"Tsk tsk, the little goblin in Aquila can actually research optical magnetic traction technology. This is really a bit surprising, but in the end it all came at our expense."
Yu Liang laughed heartily, as if he was a stingy landlord who had made a fortune.
"Don't be too happy yet. We have the territory, but how should we consolidate it? This is a question worth thinking about. Our empire has a small population and good welfare. It is not easy to encourage people to immigrate to other star systems."
Although Fang Zheng said this, his smile was still bright. The problem he was talking about was naturally a happy and troubled one.
After all, the wild goose has been shot down. The next question is whether it is better to cook it or roast it, rather than worrying about how to shoot it down while the wild goose is still flying in the sky.
"This is indeed a question worth thinking about. Our army is still expanding. As long as we don't encounter too powerful civilizations, we will continue to expand, which means that more and more star systems and life planets will be included in the territory of our empire."
"The territory is very large. How should we develop and grow it? We need to come up with a good plan to consolidate the territory and connect it into a whole."
After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Li Fu and the people present also nodded one after another, and began to frown and ponder.
"Our empire has a small population now, mainly in the cities of Yanhuang Star. Even Jiuzhou Star has only less than 10 million people. If we want to encourage everyone to immigrate to new territories in other star systems, we must come up with attractive policies."
"If we have nearly 10 billion people like the Earth Federation, we won't have to worry about interstellar immigration. There are too many people applying to immigrate to the Canis Minor Galaxy. The Earth Federation can easily immigrate hundreds of millions of people to the Canis Minor Galaxy."
When it comes to population and immigration issues, everyone present is also frowning. The population of the empire is really a big problem. The population is too small.
"I think this is the way to go. As long as you are willing to immigrate, we will give you land, permanent private land. As long as the land is enough, I don't believe that no one will be willing to go."
Fang Zheng thought for a long time and slowly made a proposal.
"Land? This is a good idea. We, the descendants of Yan and Huang, have had a very deep affection for land since ancient times. In everyone's mindset, land is more precious than anything else. In ancient times, land was passed down from generation to generation. Only with land can one have status and position."
"In modern times, owning land is even more synonymous with local tyrants. With the demolition of urban villages, many billionaires and multi-millionaires have emerged all of a sudden."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up immediately. The welfare of the empire is very good. If you say that you use money or something to drive the trend, there is really not much motivation, but if you say that you use land to drive the trend, the effect will definitely be different.
"Lao Fang, you study it with everyone and come up with a plan. Let's call everyone to a meeting to discuss it. I think this method is feasible. Anyway, we now have 4 more life planets, and there will be more in the future. As long as you are willing to immigrate there, it doesn't matter if you give more land."
Li Fu pondered for a long time and nodded in agreement. People are selfish. They definitely don't cherish public things as much as their own private things. As long as you make full use of this, you don't have to worry about no one developing the new land.
…….
Soon, the Imperial Parliament passed the Interstellar Colonization Act drafted by the Imperial Cabinet. The Interstellar Colonization Act came into being after the Empire officially expanded abroad. The core of the Act revolves around how to develop and consolidate the newly included territory of the Empire. The most important one is to encourage interstellar immigration by private land ownership.
The Act clearly stipulates that as long as you are a citizen of the Empire and are willing to immigrate to an alien star system, you will be allocated private land locally. The current standard is that one person can obtain 100 square kilometers of vast land, and this land is permanently privately owned land, and the Empire gives legal recognition and protection.
How big is 100 square kilometers of land? The area of a general township in China is about 50-200 square kilometers, which means that one person can own a piece of land the size of a township.
If a family immigrates there, even if there are 5 people, then they will own 500 square kilometers of vast land in the future. The area is very large, and it is permanent private land.
As soon as the interstellar colonization bill was introduced, the entire empire was instantly excited. Land, or permanent private land, was definitely something everyone dreamed of. Moreover, in the interstellar immigration bill introduced by the empire this time, one person could obtain 100 square kilometers of vast land.
"This is simply unimaginable. One person has 100 square kilometers of land. If a family immigrates there, if the population is large enough, they can own almost as much land as a county, and everyone will become a landlord in the future."
"The most important thing is permanent private land. Our empire will definitely continue to develop in the future. The Hercules Galaxy, Eridanus Galaxy, and Aquila Galaxy, which have recently been incorporated into the territory, are so close to the Centaurus Galaxy, the base camp of the empire. The appreciation space of this land in the future is very large. If you choose to immigrate there now, these lands alone will be enough for future generations to enjoy endlessly!"
"Yes, maybe there are not many people now, but this also means opportunities. Immigrants, apply to immigrate there immediately."
The enthusiasm of the people of the entire empire was mobilized. Once the big move of permanent private land was released, no one could resist it. Since ancient times, the deep-rooted obsession with land has made countless people choose to apply to immigrate to other galaxies without hesitation.
What's more, most of the citizens of the empire are adventurous and can immigrate from Earth to the empire. Now the conditions are so favorable, and the number of people applying for interstellar immigration in the empire soon exceeded 10 million.
