After the enfeoffment ceremony, Arthur publicly announced the establishment of the Nobleman United Consortium, which would be managed by the royal financial group and open for investment only to the new nobility.
As long as one became a nobleman of Austrsia, they would receive a basic share of the Nobleman United Consortium.
Generally speaking, a Sir would have a basic share, which could guarantee an annual dividend of at least 500 Australian dors.
For a Baron, the basic shares would yield an annual dividend of 1500 Australian dors, a Viscount 5000 Australian dors, an Earl 12,000 Australian dors, and a Duke 50,000 Australian dors.
If the profits of the Nobleman United Consortium were insufficient to cover annual dividends, the royal financial group would sponsor them, ensuring that each noble would receive their own dividends.
It can be seen from this provision that the Nobleman United Consortium was actually an institution for Arthur to distribute money to all the new nobles, uniting the interests of all the new nobles.
After all, the new nobles of Austrsia had no territories, so there would naturally not be small andrge states like those of the European nobility.
Therefore, the Nobleman United Consortium could also be considered as a benefit for all the new nobles of Austrsia, enabling them to receiverge dividends each year as long as they were nobles.
In order to ensure that the Nobleman United Consortium had enough profitability, Arthur represented the royal financial group in injecting 5 million Australian dors into the Consortium, helping it to make better investments and construction.
At the same time, the Nobleman United Consortium would establish an exclusive Nobles’ United Bank, dedicated to the service of these new nobles. Nobles would have lower loan interest rates and higher loan limits at the Nobles’ United Bank.
In this way, the treatment of the new nobles instantly surpassed that of most other sses; after all, doing nothing and solely relying on dividends obtained from the Joint Consortium would be enough for even a Sir to live a rich life.
However, the majority of the people did not envy or resent this, as Arthur had personally promised that, regardless of ss, anyone who made outstanding contributions to the royal family and the government could potentially be granted a noble title.
This included umting military merit, engaging in scientific research, and even contributing to various aspects of Austrsian society. As long as there were significant contributions to the country and the royal family, bing a new noble was no longer a fantasy.
In addition to broadening the channels for ordinary people to be promoted to nobility, Arthur’s n also ced great emphasis on the improvement of the existing living standards of the general poption.
It is more practical to implement real policies than to simply paint big pies, which is Arthur’s theory across all his policies.
After announcing the Nobleman United Consortium policy, Arthur then dered that various subsidies would be issued to promote the increase of public ie, encourage factories to raise workers’ wage levels, and implement a new round of subsidy policies for low-ie groups.
At present, the per capita annual ie of Austrsia has reached 55.21 Australian dors. In contrast to the general decline in per capita ie in European countries, the continuous increase of per capita ie in Austrsia is rare.
However,pared to the war-unaffected United States, the per capita ie level of Austrsia is rtively low, and its attractiveness to immigrants is much lower than that of the United States.
As the monarch of Austrsia, Arthur was happy to see the growth of national government ie but also happy to see the growth of people’s ie.
For one thing, the increase in people’s ie could affect the growth of industry, economy, and tax revenue, which in another way would feed back to the government.
A huge amount of funds flowing into society would elerate the economic growth of Austrsia, boost GDP, tax revenue, and growth in all industries, even tourism; for Arthur, there were only benefits and no harm in this.
Perhaps some funds would be lost because of this, but the resulting improvement in various industries in Austrsia and the people’s love for the government could not be reced by any amount of capital.
As expected, upon hearing Arthur’s announcement of raising people’s ie, almost all the people burst into earth-shattering cheers.
Previously, the cheers of the people at the enfeoffment ceremony were for the government and Arthur, and for the new nobles.
But now, the people were cheering for their own happiness, for being part of such a great country and having such a great monarch.
Throughout history, there have been countless wise and talented monarchs, but not many who truly cared for the people’s interests and were devoted to them.
Perhaps those monarchs could all be called benevolent and great, but only those who had experienced it would know the kind of love they had for such monarchs.
It was no exaggeration to say that in Austrsia, anyone who publicly ndered Arthur would not leave Austrsia alive.
After the enfeoffment ceremony, there were awards for all the meritorious soldiers. Although most of the soldiers did not umte enough merit to be granted a title, there were still many among them who made great achievements and deserved to be personally rewarded by Arthur.
Apart from nearly 200 knights and 19 barons, Austrsia also gave birth to more than 400 medal recipients in recognition of the great contributions of the Austrsian soldiers in the war.
ording to the Ministry of Agriculture, thend enfeoffed this time amounted to a total of 400,000 acres, which was a staggering 1,600 square kilometers.
Fortunately, Austrsia had a vast territory and a small poption, so there was enoughnd to distribute. The 400,000 acres ofnd were insignificantpared to the totalnd area of Austrsia, not even worth mentioning as a drop in the ocean.
In addition to subsidies for factories, Arthur also decided to provide subsidies and tax reduction to Austrsians engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry to ensure that the majority of people could benefit from ie growth.
Since thest time Arthur reduced taxes for the people, the taxes of the Austrsians have be very low. Especially for themoners, only those with annual ies exceeding 20% more than the average annual ie will be subject to personal ie tax.
Even various misceneous taxes are minimal for low-ie people, and instead, there are various tuition and medical fee reductions, which are also ways to ensure that the living standards of Austrsians will not decline significantly under any circumstances.
At the end of various ceremonies, there was a military parade celebration, which had not been held in Austrsia for a long time.
Because this military parade was to celebrate the victory of the war, Austrsia mobilized its entire army, navy, and air forces, with tanks, aircraft, artillery, and various warships, demonstrating the strength of the Austrsian army both domestically and internationally.
It is worth mentioning that not all of the native soldiers who fought for Austrsia were expelled from the territory of Austrsia.
Before Austrsia took over Southeastern colonies, there were many indigenous countries and forces in the Dutch East Indies, which also had considerable power. Some of these powerful indigenous nations hadpletely independent military, administrative, and diplomatic powers.
After upying thend, Austrsia swallowed up the vast majority of indigenous tribes but reserved a very small number of indigenous powers.
In Swesi Ind, there were originally five indigenous forces - Wando Tribe, Manda Tribe, Sultanate of Ruhunu, Gowasu Sultanate, and Toraja Tribe. After being integrated by the Austrsian government, only the southern Sultanate of Brunei and Gowasu Sultanate were left to manage the entire indigenous poption of Swesi.
Some of the yellow native people were arranged in these two Sultanate countries. They would be residents here, ready for Austrsian conscription at any time.
In simple terms, these indigenous poptions are the source of indigenous army strength in Austrsia and serve as cannon fodder for the Austrsian army during wartime.
About 2 million indigenous people were relocated to these two Sultanate countries, and together with the original indigenous poption of Swesi, the indigenous poption controlled by the two Sultanates exceeded 5 million.
This also represents that, if Arthur is willing, these indigenous poptions can be millions of indigenous armies at any time, fighting for the Austrsian Army.
In return for these natives, Arthur promised to leave them enoughnd and not expel them any further.

Of course, these two Sultanate countries where the indigenous reside must unconditionally obey the orders of the Austrsian government.
Moreover, these indigenous poptions are not recognized by Austrsia, but they will enjoy some benefits, ensuring their loyalty when fighting for Austrsia.
For these more than 5 million yellow natives, Arthur made his promise. As long as they make sufficient contributions, they can be recognized by the Austrsian government and be an honorable Austrsian citizen.
Although the conditions for obtaining citizenship are strict, the chances of these yellow natives bing citizens are much higherpared to the ck natives of New Guinea Ind.
Arthur expelled millions of ck natives in New Guinea Ind, showing Arthur’s attitude towards these ck natives. No matter how great their contributions, Arthur does not recognize them as Austrsian citizens.
Apart from these ck natives, it is not a problem to say that Austrsia is a diverse immigrant country.
Although the main ethnic group in Austrsia is Europeans, Austrsia also wees immigrants from Asia.
Currently, in Austrsia’s poption of 18.67 million, more than 400,000 are of yellow ethnicity, most of whom are immigrants from East Asia.
In fact, since the Qing government began studying the Austrsian system, there has been a steady stream of East Asian immigrantsing to Austrsia and settling permanently on thisnd.
Austrsia’s universities have also be targets for many East Asian students. Currently, Austrsia wees dozens of East Asian students every year, more than half of whom choose to stay in Austrsia after graduation.
Apparently,pared to many East Asian countries, Austrsia is an excellent choice for studying abroad.
Firstly, the various systems in Austrsia are highly simr to Europe, and its technology is also considered first-ss in Europe.
Furthermore, the distance between Austrsia and East Asia is much closerpared to the distance between Europe and East Asia, which also saves a considerable amount of study expenses.
Under the influence of various factors, many East Asian students choose to study in Austrsia and then serve their home countries after returning.
Arthur wees these people, as they can enhance the international reputation of Austrsian universities and the international influence of Austrsia.
After returning to their countries from studying in Austrsia, these people naturally have deeper feelings towards Austrsia than towards other countries.
This is the advantage of Austrsia, and it can easily win over many Asian countries.
Such study-abroad policies have been used inter generations by many countries to cultivate arge number of foreign forces that are friendly to them.
