Dutch Prime Minister Tolbeck understood why William IV was so angry.

Therefore, he stood up and expressed his position at this time: "If the Netherlands wants to grow and become a powerful country, population is definitely the current shortcoming of the Netherlands. Whether it is the labor force or the market, we need the cooperation of the indigenous people.

In 1865, in order to protect white people from not being able to adapt to the aboriginal membership, which brought losses to everyone, our government, with the support of His Majesty, completed and passed a "Vagrant Law".

The passage of this law made workers without employers subject to 6-12 months' imprisonment or a fine of 10,000 Dutch guilders. In fact, in this case, once the tenant farmers owed debts, they could only repay the debts in the form of labor.

, thus forming a more cruel debt repayment system. These tenant farmers were controlled by white creditors in their lives and producers. Without economic independence, they were always in debt with no labor. The debt rights were among the major plantation owners.

Transfer or exchange among others makes exploitation more serious.

It can be seen that the grain sharecropping system is not only a transition to the capitalist-socialist agricultural structure, but also based on the cruel expropriation of tenant farmers.

In order to help the white people consolidate their dominant position, Your Majesty and I both understand that this economic form has greatly hindered the economic development of the entire Dutch Far East and Africa, causing the Dutch Far East and African agriculture to embark on a slow development. Why?

The purpose is to consolidate the status of the white Dutch.

I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of His Majesty and I regarding the choices here, and I also hope that everyone here can spread the word."

Tolbeck said: “This economic form has strengthened the connection between plantation owners in some remote areas of the Far East and Africa away from coastal cities and the industrial and financial capital of coastal cities, becoming capitalist class planters, and the original slaves have also

It evolved into a new class of tenant farmers with incomplete personal freedom and incomplete production of materials. Under the control of plantation owners, indigenous tenant farmers could not give up their dependence on the land, and could not become free wage laborers, or even plant anything.

It all must be decided by us white capitalists and consortia.”

He pointed out, "You can imagine the old example of the Netherlands in the 17th and 18th centuries. The huge profits of tulips in the European market prompted local capitalists in the Netherlands to scramble for more and focus on the development of tulip cultivation.

, the plantation owners needed the capital provided by the capitalists, so they also followed the capitalists' profitable requirements on the middle finger, and tulips became a common cash crop in southern plantations."

William IV: "When tulips were worth investing in, this production method allowed Dutch capitalists to make larger profits. However, if this method encounters a price drop, disaster will strike. A single economic structure is severely constrained.

The development of agriculture in the Netherlands' Far East and Africa has caused the agricultural economy in Africa, especially, to generally lag behind that of the rest of the country.

Of course, in order to control the indigenous people, we need the economic backwardness of Africa. For this reason, we can understand that Africa's economy is slower, but the government does not want to see another ethnic conflict, especially when it involves the white Dutch."

In fact, William IV's concerns were correct.

In his previous life, he had seen a news article about the "blood-shirt" problem in the mid- to late 1990s in the United States. It was about a congressman from Massachusetts who publicly displayed a shirt in order to incite voters in northern states.

The bloody shirt of an Ohio speculator driven by terrorists in Mississippi reminded everyone that the Democrats had secessed the South in an attempt to divide their country.

Let them fall into the panic of war and assassinate Lincoln.

Once the Democratic Party comes to power and regains power, it will repeat the same mistakes and destroy all the efforts and sacrifices made by everyone in the civil war.

Many Republican lawmakers have used blood shirts to drum up more support, mask the real problems and distract northern voters from their shortcomings, a Republican speaker said.

In a speech delivered in 1878, he even preached: Anyone who attempts to destroy this country is a Democratic Party... Soldiers, every scar on your hero's body is left by the Democratic Party.

"Down"

It can be seen that blood shirts not only provide shelter and excuse for incompetent people, but also encourage many decent people to vote.

Then William IV said: "At present, the indigenous people in the Netherlands need to reduce the resources to be agitated. On the contrary, the Netherlands needs to add a lock on it to trap the indigenous people in the Netherlands and keep out the agitators outside."

He ordered Foreign Minister Hesbert von: "Immediately after the end of the diplomatic conference, I summoned the British Ambassador to the Netherlands to protest against the other party's interference in the internal affairs of our African territories. At the same time, we solemnly stated that we were dissatisfied with the British provocation of the Netherlands and asked the British to correct it.

Otherwise, we will make a strong counterattack and bear the consequences at our own risk.”

Hesbert Feng heard this and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

William IV told Finance Minister Capello: "When negotiating currency issues with the entire Deep Blue Pacific Partnership, we can first use precious metals to slowly figure it out. In short, I hope that in the Pacific, the Dutch guilder will become the most important in ten years' time.

Major currencies, remember, are not one, but the most important.”

Kapeluo also agreed.

William IV said: “Because of internal and external factors in various countries over the years, governments in the region have assumed a large amount of war debts. When borrowings and taxes cannot be repaid, they have to postpone coin payments and issue coins in each country.

banknotes. However, the current domestic people in various countries cannot accept this change for the time being. They suspect that the government's move is to avoid passing unpopular tax laws, and believe that the issuance of such banknotes will bring inflation risks, even in the United States of America.

Many people in China are calling for a return to precious metal currencies.

It can be seen that precious metals are the standard for countries to recognize you. The Dutch guilder can then be bound to the equivalent value of precious metals, which will slowly be accepted by capitalists and people around the world who seek stability, and eventually surpass the British pound and become a world-class currency.

Precious metals have become the standard of value measurement in any era and in any region of human society. This law will not be abolished by the gravity of the earth, let alone by bills of Congress of various countries."

William IV explained to Industry Minister Wem Cote: "In addition, the tariff issue is also a major problem in the Netherlands. Currently, I have received information about Spain and the United States. In addition to theoretical analysis of the economy in the United States and Spain,

According to experts, almost no one supports lowering tariffs. Businessmen believe that high tariffs will help block competition from overseas products, while workers believe that tariffs protect industry, create employment opportunities, and prevent cheap labor from entering the indigenous or neighboring poor countries.

The country has lowered their wages, and even farmers in these two countries support tariff protection policies, because the agricultural product market does not have much overseas competitiveness, at least when it comes to Dutch agricultural products, it is at a disadvantage. Therefore, in the future,

The Netherlands has a tough battle to fight in its tariff negotiations with other countries, and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce all need to cooperate well on this point."

In fact, with the development of Dutch technology, many industries no longer need high tariffs to compete with overseas. Tariffs have actually become an economic issue and become a political issue.

The same is true for the Commonwealth of America as an emerging power. The Republican Party ostensibly endorses tariff reform, but when it really needs to submit a reform plan for discussion, it secretly conducts transactional votes with other representatives to set its own industry as the highest tariff.

Whenever the leaders of the Democratic Party try to propose lowering tariffs, Democratic congressmen from industrial states such as New York and Pennsylvania stand up and side with the Republicans. Therefore, no one really pays attention to the actual situation.

In response to the public needs and national interests, all tariff reform parliaments ended up becoming nothing more than politicians lobbying each other and intrigues.

This is not only the case in the Commonwealth of America, but also in Spain, Mexico, etc. In the Netherlands, it is more suitable for the fiercest plutocratic war struggles between major consortiums and capitalists.

Within the Privy Council, many officials are representatives of major financial groups. The Netherlands was the first country in the world to use the East India Company as the main body to control the entire domestic, foreign, military and political affairs of the Netherlands for several centuries. It even became a world-class powerhouse at that time.

Qiang Guo has rich experience in this aspect.

Before, his great-grandfather William I mainly relied on the Nassau family's financial and material resources and connections to become the controller of the Netherlands. Later, his grandfather William II gained political support by marrying into the Russian Empire. Even so, it was only after his great-grandfather was imprisoned that

It was only after forcing the withdrawal of Italy that it received support from the United Kingdom.

It can be said that the Nassau family is not very strict in controlling the Netherlands.

By the time of his father William III, Belgium, with the support of Britain, had overpowered the Netherlands. At this time, many people in the Netherlands even believed that Leopold I of Belgium was more suitable to manage the Netherlands than his father William III. However,

This is only a minority.

It was under such circumstances that William was reborn. After his rebirth, he immediately increased his control over the Dutch consortium. For this reason, William became the largest conglomerate controller in the kingdom during his period as crown prince. He became the Dutch conglomerate.

The largest shareholder and chairman of the East India Company.

In order to avoid the dominance of one company and the royal family's over-reliance on the old local families in the internal structure of the Dutch East India Company, William single-handedly established the Dutch Far East Arms Company in 1857. In terms of weapons, it has become comparable to the weapons department of the Dutch East India Company.

It became the springboard for the Netherlands to establish all-round development including science and technology industry in 1866. It can be said that the Dutch Far East Group and the Dutch East India Company formed the leading world-class consortium Gemini in the Netherlands.

Perhaps if we want to compare in later generations, only South Korea's Samsung Consortium and Sweden's Wallenberg Consortium can be compared. Don't even doubt that William even suspected that the idols of these people were exactly the same way that the Dutch East India Company was doing business in the 17th/18th century.
