Chapter 37:Fleecing Overseas Chinese

In the afternoon of the same day, the president of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce came to Chinatown to express condolences, but also with some gifts, quite sincere.

In fact, Rod is also for Auttrel to wipe the ass.

At present, the main income of the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies is commercial income, although the Dutch have their own plantations, but compared with the industrious Chinese, in the Dutch East Indies islands of the Netherlands, only a small part of the industry.

Most of the wealth of the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies was created by the Chinese, and 60% of the main commercial taxes were from Chinese every year.

Among them, it also involves the income of the Dutch royal family, so several governors before the Dutch East Indies were also clamoring and taking care of the Chinese.

The Chinese industry in the Dutch East Indies, the formation of a good industrial chain, many of the Dutch East Indians attached to the Chinese plantations, have the ability to buy.

The Dutch industrial products also have a good market in the Dutch East India.

In fact, what the Dutch really hate is the confusion among the Dutch East Indians who do not work, and these lazy people have always been the most unstable factor in society, and these people are also the source of unrest.

Families who are willing to work and work will not participate in the riots and have the money to buy goods.

As the main business class, for the Dutch, the presence of the Chinese was directly related to the prosperity of the colonies and the direct economic income.

Of course, there are many people who think of this kind of Autrell, after all, it is only wool every year, and for some people, wealth comes too slowly.

There was always a red man, and Rod could not say anything about Autterel, he was only a financial officer, and he did not have the right to question the governor himself, but in terms of the size of his duties, he still needed to rely on the governor's nose.

If it wasn't for the Auttrell this time, he wouldn't have dared to do it to Auttrell, everyone coexisted for mutual benefit, and anyway, the Chinese were outsiders after all.

To this day, things always need to be done.

Rhodes' arrival, several representatives of the Chinese, also received him warmly, according to Rod, last night in the Dutch East Indian riots, the army of two divisions, to suppress the riots, killed and injured thousands of people.

Rod was a businessman who brought some worthless fruit, but when he left, he took a lot of greetings and more condolences.

Rod's so-called condolences, only verbally, explain to all Chinese, last night's unrest, emphasizing the efforts of the Dutch defenders and heavy casualties, not only to resolve the Chinese "misunderstanding" of the Dutch, but also to obtain the Chinese initiative to pay the "remuneration".

In Rhodes' words, last night in order to protect the Chinese, the Dutch army paid heavy casualties, unknown Chinese, immediately sorted out a lot of money, in return to the Dutch.

Rod's hand not only saved the image of the Dutch, but also exempted the kingdom from all pensions and made a profit.

And this matter, it seems that it has been completely revealed here, and in the evening, the bodies on the streets of Jakarta have all been pulled to burn outside the city, and the blood on the streets has been cleaned.

But the washing could not clean Li Daolin's inner anger and awkwardness.

After hearing about Rod's affairs, Li Daolin directly broke into Li Yishan's study and directly robbed Li Yishan's books, and said very unscrupulously: "Uncle, are you old and confused, the Dutch are obviously self-inflicted, why should you give them such a huge condolence money."

Li Yishan white haired people to send black hair, the only descendants is Li Daolin, in the face of angry nephews, he can only persuade: "Dao Lin, no matter what, last night was indeed the Dutch to help us, not to mention the Dutch people did die and hurt a lot of people, we should always mean it."

"If it had been in the past, I would have supported you, but it is different now that we can live on the nose of the Dutch, and today they can kill them all, even if they fail, it is difficult to ensure that such a thing will not happen again, and do not forget the elder brother and my unborn nephew."Li Daolin was very angry, almost gritted his teeth.

Li Yishan looked frozen, sighed, stood up and patted Li Daolin's shoulder, said: "We must also consider for other compatriots, money such things do not bring death, it is a financial disaster."

“But our money is also exchanged for the blood of our compatriots, and those Dutch people who from time to time create our conflicts with the Dutch East Indians, not to transfer them to us, to rule the colonies themselves easily, and to have many conflicts with the Dutch East Indians, how can they not see the shadow of the Dutch.”

Li Daolin was indignant, and the anger in his suppressed heart broke out, saying: "It is as if this time, if no one transferred the Dutch East Indians to the Dutch army, do you think the Dutch army really helped us?"The Dutch army, which had been ambushed in the streets nearby, and there were inspection teams to help block the streets, is not enough to explain the problem.Now that we have the money to the Dutch, we feed the wolf with the meat, and what shall we do if the wolf is hungry again?If there is no meat for the wolf, the wolf will not eat us.”

Li Yishan heard the words, was silent for a moment, and stared at Li Daolin and asked, “Dao Lin, this is not like you before, do you know anything?”

Li Daolin took a deep breath, he knew what he had just said, revealed a lot of information, but he did not regret it, said: "Uncle, do you think we should continue to compromise?"

"I don't understand."Li Yishan shook his head, and he thought of it more or less, but he felt that it was completely impossible.

"Uncle, I can't say specifically, I've had enough anyway, and it seems to me that whether the Dutch East Indian or the Dutch are a bunch of tigers and wolves, we can't be bullied only if we are stronger than them."Li Daolin did not say broken, he believes that his uncle is also a wise man, how much should also be guessed.

"But this is not our home."Li Yishan shook his head and said.

"This is not the home of the Dutch, we have been fighting here for decades, some compatriots have even fought here for a hundred years, why should we make wedding dresses for others?"Li Daolin said.

"We alone cannot do it, the Dutch have 50,000 troops here, and there are warships, and I can't promise you."Li Yishan heard the words and shook his head, in order to tens of thousands of Chinese in Indonesia, he could not do stupid things.

"Uncle, I'm sure you'll make a decision soon."Li Daolin said.

Li Yishan did not respond to Li Daolin's words, but thought of something, and asked, "Is that Mr. Fan in the backyard?"
