After Doug's conversation with Lincoln was over, Mayor De Niro asked, "Lincoln, don't you know that your cabinet has been chosen?"

Lincoln smiled and said, "No one thinks I'm really going to be elected president, I'm still far from forming a cabinet." ”

Only then did Doug understand that Mayor De Niro was unwilling to be just a small mayor, and he had to display his talents in a higher place first.

The presidential election in the United States is not only a presidential election, but also a change in the core team around the president.

After all, even in a small business, when a new leader takes office, he wants to replace his own people.

Not to mention such an important position as the President of the United States.

Other people's people, not necessarily male servants, may be more capable than their own people, but who knows whose interests he will serve at a critical time?

Moreover, the members of any president's cabinet are not just of the president's own volition. It also represents the interests of the financiers behind the president.

If at this moment, Doug Claydon is desperately supporting Lincoln's candidacy for president, if Lincoln succeeds in running, he can add his people to Lincoln's team.

Adding people like this is not only for the sake of good looks, but also for more benefits.

The election of every president means that the interest groups behind him gain power.

If Lincoln had become president of the United States, Doug and his industry would have expanded dramatically.

Because, the policy is on his side.

If he had an idea on his side, he could in turn ask Lincoln to cooperate.

There is a policy to ask for policy, and as for asking for money, if the central bank of the United States that Doug is trying to establish is really established, he will have as much money as he wants.

However, at that time, the monetary value of money will be greatly weakened, and its nature of power will begin to appear.

If Doug wanted to put four trillion dollars into real estate, real estate would boom instantly.

This is what money has, the power that governs people.

Of course, this power cannot be used at will.

As a result of the abuse of power, it becomes more and more difficult to use.

If all the products produced in the United States are worth only 10 million dollars, but the central bank controlled by Doug has poured a billion dollars into the market.

Sorry, but if the dollar is not pegged to gold, it will depreciate rapidly, to a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

Of course, Doug wouldn't be that stupid.

Lincoln wanted to be president, De Niro wanted to be in the president's cabinet, and Doug wanted to have a central bank.

The three of them have their own thoughts, but their hearts coincide, pushing them to work towards the same goal.

And that is – let Lincoln be elected president!

Doug chose Lincoln over anyone else, not because Lincoln came to see him, or because Lincoln was once president in his memory.

Rather, they are candidates for other presidents, and there are already entrenched interest groups behind them.

Although Doug can also participate in that interest group, if it is divided according to strength, he has too few fruits.

With such a meager interest, it is better to let him gamble and support Lincoln, a presidential candidate who does not have the support of many capitalists.

Of course, the people running for president are not only from the North, but also from the South.

The financiers behind the presidential candidates in the north are all big factory owners and capitalists, while the financiers behind the presidential candidates in the south are plantation owners.

The plantation economy is based on the international trading system, and high-quality crops are widely marketed around the world.

Compared to the inferior industrial products in the north, agricultural products are easier to sell and more profitable.

However, in recent years, the presidential campaign has been the election of the president of the North.

Why is that?

The reason is simple, there are many citizens in the north.

Far more citizens in the North have votes than in the South.

Although the South is overwhelmingly numerous, it will crush the North.

However, there is a very important issue, slaves are not people, and blacks are not people.

Blacks don't have the ability to cast their ballots.

The status of black slaves is no different from that of a dog, they are all owned by their masters, although they have life, but at the legal level, they are the attributes of "things".

The president of the North represents the interests of the North.

Although the first president of the United States, he was also a slave owner.

However, the political center is in the north, the president is a man from the north, and the policy is always tilted towards the north.

It's like tariffs.

The South wants tariffs to be as low as possible, both for imports and exports.

Because in this way, it is more cost-effective to sell total products abroad, or to buy agricultural machinery and luxury goods from abroad.

But for the north, if foreign machines are cheaper, the market in the south will be occupied by foreign machines, and the machines produced in the country will not be sold at all.

This will not work!

Therefore, they advocate raising tariffs!

Of course, in addition to the increase in import tariffs, it is also good to increase export tariffs.

Although there is also planting in the north, the grain production is not as high as in the south, and the price is more expensive.

If the price after the tariff is added, foreign buyers will not be able to accept it.

They can only sell their grain at home.

The North buys cheap grain and exports expensive and inferior machinery.

In this way, the South completely became an economic vassal of the North.

Provision of primary agricultural products and purchase of intermediate industrial products.

Although the South does not aversion to being an economic colony of an industrialized region, they would rather be an economic colony of Britain than an American one.

Because Britain has an industrial first-mover advantage, no matter from what point of view, Britain's industrial products far exceed those of the United States.

Of course, there may be southerners who come up with wonderful ideas.

Wouldn't it be better to emancipate the black slaves, make them people in the political sense, and give them the right to vote?

But it was not easy to get slave owners to free their slaves.

If you have a cow at home, if you sell it, you can make someone else's life happier.

Can you sell cattle?

No!

Of course not.

Because, you really do have a cow.

Because, this cow is really bought by you with hard work and savings.

Therefore, although all the plantation owners, they were expecting someone to emancipate the slaves and free some votes.

However, no one was the first to do so.

Because, for the liberation of their own slaves, whoever comes first will suffer.

Everyone doesn't want to suffer, so it's better to maintain the status quo.

Even with the high tariffs, everyone just insulted the northerners and tried their best to export.

In exchange for industrial goods and luxury goods produced all over the world.
