Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 573: Tenancy and Crop Mortgage in the Netherl

While William IV discussed in his Privy Council how the Netherlands could stop the possible riots of African natives, there was also a country in the Americas discussing them, or even "stealing teachers", so to speak.

This country is the United States of America.

Johnson Andrew is discussing the state of the Commonwealth of America with his Secretary of State Randy Bleish and Chancellor James.

And this time, Secretary of State Randy Bleish has just returned from Sydney in the far east of the Netherlands, where he has just attended the foreign minister-level meeting of the Deep Blue Pacific Partnership hosted by the Netherlands.

In addition to the foreign ministers of the Netherlands and the United States of America, there were also foreign ministers (foreign ministers) of member states such as Spain, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico. In addition, the Netherlands also invited the organization's core partner, Tsarist Russia. The foreign ministers of the Empire, Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary attended the meeting.

"The countries discussed maintaining the rules and order of the Pacific, which mainly expressed the plan of naval exercises that the countries will host in the region on a rotating basis.

At the same time, various countries will hold economic and trade consultation meetings in the region. In the early stage, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will be promoted to the ministerial level.

Countries also discussed the establishment of financial cooperation, because the current trade between countries centered on the Kingdom of the Netherlands has greatly increased, accounting for most of the cases. At present, countries have agreed to use Dutch guilders to trade in the Pacific. Next, there may be talks with the Minister of Finance and other talks to discuss Consultation on issues such as currency exchange among countries. But progress may be slow for now.

We also discussed the issue of import and export tariff reduction in Sydney. At present, the industrial and agricultural powers such as the Netherlands and Millikin are in favor, but Spain is somewhat opposed. However, under the support of the Netherlands, Spain seems to be less opposed. …”

Randy Bleish begins debriefing.

President Andrew: "What do you think of the issues discussed by the group, James?"

Finance Minister James: "We are all Dutch. Emotionally, I also agree with the Netherlands' approach. However, since it is currently the position of Minister of Finance of the Commonwealth of Millikin, I have doubts about it."

Andrew: "What concerns?"

Blaish: "?"

James: "If the Netherlands allows other countries to use the Dutch guilder, the exchange rate should be adjusted according to the appropriate exchange rate. We should discuss this point. Fortunately, this is pros and cons for the United States. I don't know yet. Therefore, I still agree to use gold as the most suitable measure, because gold is the most circulating, silver is second, and metal currency may be more attractive than the Dutch guilder.”

Andrew: "That's not bad, I think it's also where countries have doubts"

Brans nodded in agreement.

James followed up: "Spain's doubts about the tax reduction plan are also correct. At present, Spain's industrial economy is not the top in Europe. If the tax is reduced too much compared with the UK, the Netherlands, and the French, it will hurt the domestic industrial manufacturing in Spain too much. "

Blache: "That's why Spain is unhappy"

Andrew: "Why did Spain compromise again in the end?"

Bleish looked at James' equally curious look and said: "Because the Netherlands has stated that it will provide 10 million guilders (400,000 pounds - 2 million US dollars) as an aid fund for this project to help countries provide industrial manufacturing"

James: "How good is Holland?"

Andrew also looked at Bleish suspiciously.

Bleish: "There are restrictions, the projects that the Netherlands asks for aid must be in the Pacific"

Andrew showed such an expression as expected, "Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world."

President Andrew moved home and asked, "What do we need to do in the current rebuilding process in the South after the Civil War?"

Treasurer James: "?"

Secretary Blanes: 'At this point, I think we should learn from the Netherlands'

Andrew, James: "?"

Secretary of State Blaish: "In the Dutch Far East and Africa, the tenancy system became the main mode of production for the Dutch governing the agricultural economy of the Far East and African territories, where the Netherlands prior to British rule (referring to Australia) was dominated by large plantations land, but lost slaves as labor in the process, and things improved as the Netherlands changed governance.”

Finance Minister James: "I heard this, it is said that the UK is currently studying and preparing to expand in Canada"

Bleish: "Yes, although the United States of America has not completely taken back the South, there are a large number of plantations in Tennessee and the western states. With the request of President Lincoln to remove slaves and liberate black slaves , thus losing the labor force of slaves. The large-scale destruction of the western and southern economies by the war made the plantation owners lack of funds to hire labor.

At the same time, plus the slaves were unable to purchase production funds and materials after obtaining the freedom of ginseng, let alone land, and the liberated slaves could not gain independence or become wage workers. If it takes a long time, it will cause great harm to the society. riot"

He said: "Therefore, we can follow the example of Holland and encourage the big plantation owners in Milliken to divide their land into small parcels and rent them out to black people or poor white people when they can't afford the labor force, according to the Dutch side. Say, the Netherlands calls it tenancy."

Andrew: "How many years has this tenancy system been in the Netherlands?"

Bleish: "It is said that since 1865, it has been practiced in the Far East and Africa. It is said that the local indigenous people have become many small farmers."

"It's no wonder that there are relatively few natives in the Netherlands causing trouble. Once the tenancy system came out, it stabilized the society." James asked curiously about the specific operation of the tenancy system in the Netherlands.

"The tenancy system can be roughly divided into cash tenancy system and grain tenancy system, and its specific form is more complicated. Part of it goes as ground rent, which is called cash tenancy."

James: "Will the tenant farmers in this way be exploited by commercial capital in disguise?"

Bleish said: "Exploitation is certain, but it is relatively independent. It is called tenant farmers in the Netherlands. These people only account for a small part of the tenancy system and do not dominate"

Andrew asked curiously, "The grain tenancy system is the big one?"

Bleish: "Yes, the grain tenancy system is the main method of agricultural production in the Netherlands, not only in the Far East and Africa, but has also been fed back to the European mainland of the Netherlands, and many native Europeans have also begun to use this method to participate in white of the poor.”

James: "The Netherlands has also implemented it. It seems that the method should be good."

Andrew said: "How about the grain tenancy system?"

Bleish: "The shareholding system and the shareholding farm laborer are two forms of the corn share system.

In the Dutch Far East and Africa, most of the natives of these places in the Netherlands are divided into tenant farmers. They only have a small part of production materials such as cotton seeds and agricultural tools, and have no land at the time of harvest. They need to pay 1/4 or 1/3 of the entire harvest as land rent, and usually pay in kind. Farmers who share the system often have nothing. All the production materials and tools they use are provided by the landowner, and then according to the land ownership The owner's request is for farming, and half of the harvest is waving 2/3 as the land rent to the landowners, and the grain is divided into indigenous farmers who occupy more than 80% of the Dutch Far East and Africa. "

Andrew and James couldn't help frowning and said, "Will this cause the gap between the rich and the poor of the natives to grow wider?"

Bleish smiled wryly: "This is also something that can't be helped. In Europe, no one would think this is wrong, right? The white people are the protagonists of this world. If not, the Tolbek government will become the Dutch white man to attack the fortress. object, and will also make the Netherlands an alternative in the white world of Europe, in which case the Netherlands will face isolation”

When President Andrew and Finance Minister James heard this, they were silent. White people are the most powerful group in the world. If the interests of white people are not protected, any European government will face the fate of being eliminated. No one in the Dutch government will. I thought it would be a bunch of idiots, so the Dutch approach was quite agreeable to several people~lightnovelpub.net~ Andri finally gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Just follow the Dutch approach, in the southern and western parts of the Commonwealth of Millikin. Implement it"

James asked, "Will this make the Confederate guys follow suit?"

......

In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, William IV and members of the Privy Council are also discussing "tenant farming and crop mortgages".

“Grain share farmers are exploited in layers by high-li-credit merchants, local Dutch bankers and big planters. The local bankers pay the big planters, and the big planters supply the production and living materials in the form of credit sales. The tenant farmers make high-li-loans. The big planters ship these items at high prices, but hold down prices when the farmer’s harvest is finally converted.”

William IV sneered: "Once the tenant can't repay, the new principal becomes the original principal plus all the interest. Therefore, for the tenant, accepting the payment for goods is a high-risk practice, and it is easy to get deep. Trapped and in debt, the major plantation owners urged provincial governments to introduce laws to criminalize the breaking of contracts by tenants in order to tie them to the land.

Are the white Dutch people still dissatisfied? How dare you express dissatisfaction like this? The government has already made favorable policies for them. If they are not satisfied, do they still want to force the indigenous people to rebel? If the Netherlands has a policy of "friendly" release to the natives like the former president of Millikin, Lincoln, will the natives directly overthrow the Dutch government's rule there? Are those pig heads?

Go back and tell them, don't tell me to learn from the UK, the Netherlands is not the UK, if anyone likes the UK, get out of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. "
