Chapter 132: The Five-Year Plan for Ruling Ah San
"What about India's five-year development plan and prospects?" Warren. Hastings looked at the thick stack of reports handed to him by Ye Kai, his head was full of question marks, he didn't think that this stack of reports alone could reverse his fate.
This is what Ye Kai took Jenna to do in five years, for a traverser from later generations, especially Chinese, writing reports, doing PPT, making a plan, analyzing the reasons for the pros and cons, and looking forward to the future development, it is simply commonplace!
Ye Kai has learned to write this thing a lot in the years when he is expected to be transferred to the embassy to work, and now he can be familiar with it.
"Father, if you continue to read it, I think that this report of Zinedin is simply perfect, and I think whoever reads it cannot ignore your credit and accurate judgment!"
However, Jenna is very confident, these few are running around with Ye Kai, she suspects that Ye Kai is simply an envoy of God, because the report completed by Ye Kai is completely more comprehensive and novel than the government report taken out by the Prime Minister.
Hastings opened the report with half a doubt, and the first argument was the overall assessment of India, starting from the caste system of India, and analyzing every high-caste colonist from Central Asia and other places, analyzing India's cultural traditions, and analyzing India's climate and land in detail.
In the end, it was concluded that the true Indians were the most obedient people, because they had been enslaved for thousands of years and had long been accustomed to being ruled.
These dark-skinned real natives are not the same thing as those white-skinned high castes, and the British don't need to disturb their lives too much, as long as they subdue those high castes, so as to narrow down the scope of the East India Company's target targets.
At the same time, robbery and oppression should also be based on the oppression of these high castes, since these Aryans from Central Asia and the Iranian plateau can successfully rule India for thousands of years, then the British can easily rule India.
The second argument is a survey of the purchasing power of India as a whole, and with the abundant data of Ye Kai's statistics, Hastings found that ordinary Indians are actually a group of people with a certain purchasing power, and they can afford to consume low-quality textiles and other goods from the United Kingdom.
India is now estimated to have a population of more than 100 million, and if this huge market can be opened, I am afraid that all the British factories will be operating at full capacity, and there will still be no shortage of solutions!
And in order to maintain the purchasing power of ordinary Indians, it is necessary to control the suppression of the Brahmins and Kshatriyas to a certain extent, and not allow them to drain all the value of the indigenous Indians.
The third argument is an in-depth explanation of Hastings's current policy, Ye Kai even said that India could also be divided into imperial territories, that is, areas under the direct jurisdiction of the Viceroy of India.
Then the states outside the crown government are subdivided according to the number of sons of the king or the khan, which is actually a variant of the Tui En order in Chinese history, to avoid the emergence of large states like Mysore or Hyderabad that can challenge the power of the British.
For the large states, which are already very powerful and slightly more combative, it is necessary to adopt a combination of suppression and cooperation, drawing them into the British economic circle in India, while at the same time creating hatred and chaos within them.
This is not difficult at all in India, where Fangists, Sikhs, Brahmans, etc., are already full of contradictions.
Finally, a few megacities will be built in various parts of India, and the city's security, public facilities, consumption level, service industry and other supporting facilities will be built, so as to attract the leaders of various states and countries to live in these cities, and turn these big cities into gold caves for British high-end goods, so that they can be cut at any time.
In this report, Ye Kai clearly shows a future development route for British India through detailed data and curve change diagrams.
At this stage, it is true that there will be a pay, but once the Indian market is cultivated, he will give back to Britain beyond imagination, and he predicts that India will become the most brilliant jewel in the crown of George III.
Warren. Hastings read the long report in one go, and a look of joy appeared on his face, many of the ideas in this report have been implemented by him, but more carefully and convincingly than he did!
He could imagine when this report appeared King George III and William. When Prime Minister Pitt is on his desk, they will surely understand their contribution to the Kingdom.
But, Warren. Hastings frowned, and now he was facing not only the king and the prime minister, but also the Whig Edmund . Burke, and the common people who believed the newspapers and treated him as a cruel slave owner.
These people can still initiate an investigation into him, and this five-year development report cannot completely offset the negative factors caused by the rapid decline in profits in recent years, at least the major shareholders of the company will not understand him like the king, those guys only have money in their eyes.
Ye Kai saw Hastings's concern, and he smiled, "Mr. Hastings, this is just the first move, this is used to solve the biggest threat, that is, His Majesty King George III and William. Pete head relative to your discontent.
Jenna and I have selected a team of Indians for you, and they will go to London with Jenna. ”
"To London? Do you mean to let the Indians explain to me that I am not a slave owner? Hastings's eyes lit up, this method was simple and practical, why didn't he think of it?
"That's right, this team of Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Fangs and Sikhs, led by Thakar's mother, will go to the offices of the East India Company at 10 Downing Street and Leadhar Street, the offices of the First Chancellor of the Exchequer, under Jenna's arrangement, to perform and appear in the Dharma.
This won't reverse the hostility of the Whigs and corporate shareholders towards you, but it will reverse the bad impression of the average Londoner.
At the same time I suggest that His Excellency the Governor should pay between three and five thousand pounds for the major newspapers, and that nothing will be lost! ”
"Good!" Warren. Hastings clapped his hands excitedly, "Mr. Zinedin, you are really a very powerful political official, if I can continue to serve as the Governor of India, I will definitely invite you to my staff, maybe you can apply to join the British nationality, and let us accomplish together in India the great cause that all the conquerors have not done to conquer the whole of India!" ”
"Thank you for your kindness, we will have one last enemy left in this matter, and that is Edmund of the Whigs. Burke! ”
Ye Kai replied noncommittally, he had done so many things just to let Hastings continue to serve as the governor of India, which would not be of much help to his plans in Vietnam, but it would definitely play a great role in promoting the development of the Ye family's Pattani!
Perhaps in the future, the Ye family can become the British thugs in Nanyang in the next few decades, specially used against the Burmese and Dutch!
"That's right! Edmund, the mad dog, is the hardest to deal with, Mr. Zinedin, what can you do about him? ”
Warren. Hastings gritted his teeth and said, he already regarded Ye Kai as an omnipotent person.
"Actually, he is not difficult to deal with at all, Mr. Hastings, think about who will benefit the most from this plan for the colonization of India, more than the King and the shareholders of the East India Company!"
"The most beneficial?" Hastings pondered for a moment, "You're, the factory owner of all Great Britain?" ”
"That's right, it's them, you have opened a large market of 100 million people for them, which will be their best place to import raw materials and dump industrial products, and it belongs only to the British factory owners, who will surely be ecstatic and grateful to you!"
Who is the biggest force in Britain right now?
Not the kings or the nobles of the House of Lords, but the British factory owners, led by the city of Manchester.
They were the guarantor of the whole of England to colonize the whole world, and many of the factory owners were originally nobles in the House of Commons, and the Whigs were only representatives of these factory owners and big capitalists.
Once the factory owners knew of the plan, the Whigs and the shareholders of the East India Company had no ability to continue attacking Hastings.
As long as the factory owners support Warren. Hastings' plans in India, Hastings' position is incomparably secure.
Finally feeling safe to talk to Hastings let out a long sigh, "Mr. Zinedin, please forgive me for my arrogance at the beginning, from now on, Warren. Hastings will always owe you a favor! ”
