"Opening 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne (

The Dutch Privy Council held the latest meeting. This time, there was also the East India Governor Jane Simscock, who had returned from the Far East.

"A lot of people are puzzled about why we include people of color in the nation"

William IV said to the members of the Dutch Privy Council: "I was reading a book recently, which was given to me by Jane Simscock, the Governor of the East India from the Far East, it is from the ancient times of the Qing Empire, we in the Far East The translations completed by the Dutch contain stories about the local customs and the vast land and resources of various places, but the one I am most interested in is that some people in it say that people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on.

Governor of East India, Jane Simscock, can you tell us how the Qing Dynasty was divided into ranks? "

Jane Simscock nodded yes.

"The registration of many things in the Qing Dynasty will divide them into very fine grades, which are further divided into upper-up, upper-middle, upper-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle, lower-lower, etc. Sixty-nine and so on."

In addition to William IV's apparent calmness, in the dazed surprise of the other members of the Privy Council, Jane Simscock explained: "They divided the mantra of the upper and the nine streams as: the first-rate Buddha and the second-rate heaven. The third-rate emperor, the fourth-rate official, The old six prime ministers of Wuliu Pavilion. Seven advances, eight actions and nine solutions."

In the nine-class: first-class scholar, second-class doctor, third-class Danqing, fourth-class skin (shadow puppet), five-class playing and singing, six-class divination (divination), seven monks, eight paths and nine chess.

Xia Jiu Liu: First-class Gaotai (singing opera), second-class blowing, third-class circus, fourth-class push (shaving head), Wuliuchizi (bathroom in the north), six-back rubbing, seven-repairing and eight-matching (breeding for livestock), nine prostitutes. "

After Jane Simscock explained the meaning of various words about the Qing Dynasty, she said: "Simply put, people are divided into ten grades, and people are divided into high and low. Officials, three monks, four Taoists, five doctors, six workers, seven craftsmen, eight prostitutes, nine scholars, and ten beggars”

William IV said: "Look, the country where the Qing Dynasty is said to have a history of thousands of years, although it is not necessarily more prosperous than us in terms of economy, but in the long river of history, there are also places worthy of our study. As far as I know, the initial stage of the British Empire’s cabinet system actually refers to the empire’s previous dynasties cabinet system hundreds of thousands of years ago, that is, their chancellor and bachelor’s system.”

Seeing that they did not believe it, William IV asked Jane Simscock, who was familiar with the history of the Qing Empire for thousands of years, to explain the evolution of the government in the emperor's rule of the country. , Step by step to the current Qing Empire.

Everyone was attracted by the magnificent and undulating changes in the country, and everyone sighed on their faces.

Philip. Howe, the Dutch undersecretary of industry.

Although he already knew that the country was extraordinary, it was only a brief overview before, but he never wanted to know such a detailed understanding. Like many people present, his energy was used in Europe in the past few hundred years. Knowing the history, I couldn't help but exclaim:

"Sure enough, no great country is built simply"

The Minister of the Interior, Qiong Leer, also sighed in amazement: "It's hard to imagine that the ruler of the Qing Dynasty today is just a small nation to counterattack and complete the rule of the big country. Your Majesty, it seems that you will not rule from the Qing Dynasty. That country, derived from"

"good"

William IV said: "In the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Qing Dynasty conquered more with less, and achieved the power to dominate in terms of military force. After that, it was integrated into the local customs, and there was no difference in governance from the previous dynasties.

The Qing people of the Qing Empire can, why can't we. "

William IV said solemnly: "Everyone, the United Kingdom has 30 million people, and France has more than this number, so these two countries can use local soldiers to maintain the rule of the local colonies, and they can provide such human and material resources. The market is large enough to support the dominance of colonial and domestic? Rapidly rising industrial development.

The Netherlands needs industrial development. In terms of manpower, it needs to change the traditional concept of planting.

You can look at the current gap between the rice union and the rice federation between the north and the south.

The south is inefficient, relying on planting, and the instability of black slaves in manpower has caused social unrest.

The north is due to industrial development, and the scale of economic development is even compared with the south. The industrial output value of the north is 1.5 billion US dollars vs. the south's 15.5 million US dollars, and the difference in GDP is more than ten times.

Comparing the population of 22.34 million to 9.1 million, it is conceivable how big the domestic gap is.

The Netherlands cannot waste too much human resources on planting, but food security is also the national policy of the Netherlands, so”

William IV looked around and said solemnly: "In this era of abolition of slavery in Europe, instead of passively accepting enslavement to help us grow food, and finally making trouble like the United States, it is better to cut across the board and directly. In one step, the identity transformation of these indigenous people and black people has been completed. In fact, they are still doing the same work, but in terms of patriotism, it is an earth-shaking change.

In the past, they were forced to fight, but now they are required to participate in military service, which is an obligation and responsibility. It is no longer forced but should be.

In all aspects of social work, the dirty work and the clean work always have to be done by someone, and after these natives and black people joined, they competed for a position in front of us Dutch people, everyone should know what the result will be. Therefore, In the case of low competitiveness of the upper-level jobs, they will succumb to the bottom of society. Complete the ascent of the Dutchman to reach the upper level.

Of course, we can help them appropriately in terms of various security and reasonable demands on them, so that they can return to their hearts willingly.

Of course, the media are constantly resolving disputes, and even citing comparisons from other countries, such as how miserable the Tu people in the colonies of Britain, France and other countries have come to, which highlights their hard-won environment and makes their inner sense of comparison and satisfaction. It can make them better accept the atmosphere we create for them.

And these changes have enabled the tight 9 million people in the Netherlands to free up a lot of people to do other things. Think about it, how powerful this will be. "

"Indigenous people are at the bottom, and the Dutch have become the upper class." Samuel Horch, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Netherlands, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I think this will cause social rupture and the sense of hierarchy is too clear. I’m afraid that it will lead to ethnic disputes.”

Prime Minister Tolbeck explained for William IV at this time: "Therefore, we have created a policy of meritocracy"

"What elite policy?"

Jeremy Harmon, the undersecretary of the Dutch Ministry of Education, also stood up and asked curiously.

The three are all second ministers, all because their superiors are currently sent to the Far East to gradually develop the Far East. Therefore, all three currently attend Privy Council meetings on behalf of their respective departments.

"No matter where it is, society will be dominated by the powerful minority and the majority without power. This is the concept of the power pyramid. The amount responsible for the distribution of social benefits is always the minority.

Therefore, the formulation of policies has never been made by the general public, and the power of formulation has always been in the hands of a few people.

And the minority of the ruling majority does not mean that they fully represent the interests of the majority, so there will be a gap, so it does not mean that the minority of others is the upper class. "

Prime Minister Tolbeck said this and added: "But after referring to other countries, Your Majesty and I feel that in order to stabilize and avoid the occurrence of the United States, even the great revolution in Europe in 1848 === life is repeated, and non-elites will rise to the status of elites. The process must be in place and happen uninterruptedly, but we can master its pace, so that the general public, non-elites, can only subconsciously feel that it is not thankful to resist and may even pay their lives, it is better to work a little harder point, become the elite at the top of society, join the basic views of this circle, and become the ruling bloc in the Netherlands.”

Hearing this, everyone changed color.

In fact, there are people here who have advanced from the bottom of the society. Civilians are better. Military military officers have worked **** the battlefield. Therefore, I have the most empathy for what Tolbek just said.

Tolbeck: "This part of the elite may have slightly biased views due to their origins, but as a whole, they will be consistent with the basic principles of society and many aspects of maintaining the current state, with only a few points of interest. There are differences.

Therefore, as long as the government grasps the general direction and follows up the values ​​that we need them to change as the country's policy changes, it can alleviate or even prevent accidents such as zheng=change. "

In short, it is to complete the development of the minority elites in the society to guide the development of the majority, and to influence them to follow the flight route of the preceding geese. Continue to dominate the nation's strides forward. "

William IV said: "Everyone wants a better living environment~lightnovelpub.net~ We can promote some people who are loyal to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and have talents among the natives and blacks, and give them channels to develop in In villages and small towns, first try to elect members of local governments and local councils. These institutions can effectively help us manage their ethnic groups. Of course, we also need to take charge of the general direction. , and gradually give them more power, but the process can be gradual. Gradually reserve local talents, and then, from these reserve talents, you can gradually choose to play higher-level roles. "

William IV's eyes lit up and said: "When they gradually occupy an important social position and establish a close relationship with the economy and politics of the Netherlands, they will try to change their original aboriginal colors to suit us. This big dye vat in the Netherlands, they will drive the people below, and the people below will also feedback to all the indigenous people, telling them that the Qianjun is sad for the single-plank bridge, but the bridge is there, we have set the rules, we will continue to nest. There, watching others cautiously pass to become the upper class, or follow the squeezing and colliding to grab the position, that is what they should be anxious about.

Those who pass will be pretentious to form their own cultural circles, because they will all have similar backgrounds and energy, and they will not allow others to slander their social status that they have managed to achieve. Therefore, it is the biggest thing to cooperate with the Dutch rule and maintain their status. common factor of . "

Finally, William IV: "The rising channel of the indigenous elites must be opened, which is the best way for us to govern them. If it is done, then the indigenous people are really our help and not a problem."

When William IV was discussing how to manage the natives, the North and South sides of North America had the biggest war since the United States went to war.
