Chapter 588: The Greatest Rich Man

After entering the city, the Batavian Military Management Committee issued Order No. 1, which required all residents of the city to register with the offices at the sub-district entrances; For ten days, there will be a curfew in Bacheng, and the people will not be allowed to go out unless necessary; No more than three people can go out, and if there is a living problem that cannot be solved, they can go to the garrison in the city for help;

All the civilians and civilians of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who are willing to stay in the local area to continue living and doing business should indicate this when registering, and at the same time apply for a temporary identity certificate of the starting city, and those who do not want to stay in the local area, please also indicate that the military will be responsible for repatriating to India after one month; Soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who intend to become official citizens of the starting point city must pass the Chinese language test after five years and be issued with an official identity document. The soldiers hired by the original Dutch East India Company, the Tiance Army will establish a Dutch mercenary army, with a monthly salary of thirty silver coins, that is, three taels of silver.

All Chinese people of Chinese descent can go to the Batavia Military Management Committee to apply for an official identity card of the starting city, and all citizens who have obtained the official identity document of the starting point city are entitled to the rights and preferential policies of land allocation, free education, medical exemption and exemption, poverty subsidies, participation in politics, and legal possession of weapons.

All citizens, of Chinese or European origin, who have obtained official identity documents of the starting city, as long as they are at least eighteen years of age, whether male or female, have the right to vote and to be elected in the Batavian Autonomous Government; The city's governing body will be elected, and the specific election time is to be determined!

The shock that this No. 1 order brought to the entire city can be imagined. Especially the more than 20,000 Chinese people in Bacheng were shocked by such a preferential policy, it was unbelievable, even in Daming itself, they had never seen such a generous policy. In any case, Wang Shaobao's supportive attitude towards the Chinese is obvious.

However, it is strange that the first order does not mention the local natives, as if they have forgotten all of them, which is easy to reminisce. But now that Bacheng has just changed hands, who cares about the lives and deaths of the natives? I can't even take care of it.

In the private residence of the Governor's Palace, a coffee table was placed on the balcony, and Robben and Wang Yue sat together enjoying their morning coffee. As a loser, Robben has not yet come out of his depression and does not seem to be in high spirits.

Leaving Batavia was something he had decided a long time ago, and after the surrender, he and his family could only enjoy the freedom of this province. Robben, who was eager to leave Batavia, sent someone to invite Wang Yue early in the morning. Wang Yue also gave him face and gladly accepted the invitation.

The army of the Ming Empire, which had strict military discipline, did not have the arrogance of ordinary conquerors after entering the city, and they appeared very peaceful. Except for military points, no other places have been entered. After the army took control of the main roads in various places, they did not want to enter the houses. Wang Yue, as the supreme leader, was not stationed in the governor's palace, but in the strange big car in the open space in the square.

The soldiers of the Ming Empire all lived in tents on the streets, and this night made everyone seem surprisingly down-to-earth.

In particular, the soldiers hired by the former Dutch East India Company who laid down their arms lived in the designated area more steadily, and none of them thought about resisting when they laid down their arms. The conditions for recruiting mercenaries were more favorable than those of the East India Company, and many Dutch mercenaries signed up.

Why does Wang Yue not live in the Governor's Palace, in fact, he is worried about possible terrorists, it is better to live in the Jinlong RV, surrounded by troops and sentry posts, and the sense of security is relatively strong. If you live in the Governor's Palace, who knows where there is still a guy hidden, and if you fall asleep and be visited, it will be a real death.

What Wang Yue thinks and what the people in the city think are completely two different concepts. This is a military occupation, the Europeans are always fighting, of course they know how miserable the losers will be, how many tragedies will happen at night. But what they saw was a calmest night, a night after the military occupation. Of course, the sporadic gunfire is negligible. Those who do not obey the decree die in vain.

Sitting next to Wang Yue was a young girl, with a few beans on her face, which is characteristic of white women, her figure after the waist looked slim, and her smile was a little nervous, slightly flattering. This is the daughter of a Dutch banker in the city, who has lived here since her father came to Batavia. At this moment, his father was sitting next to Robben, looking at Wang Yue with a smile.

The banker's name was Davis, and he gave his daughter the very common name Judy. A sixteen-year-old girl is already very sensible and well-developed. With long brown hair, after being carefully dressed, he sat next to Chen Wangyue, and his intention was very obvious.

Of course, this intention was felt most deeply by Mr. Schozin, who came with Wang Yue, as a former employee of the East India Company and the first European to take refuge in Wang Yue, knew Wang Yue better than the former governor of Batavia and Julie's banker father, and he did not think that Judy could outwardly surpass his daughter Lisa.

When eating morning tea, it is natural to have a very casual chat. Intentionally or unintentionally, Davis suddenly asked Wang Yue in English: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you think about the banking industry?" ”

Wang Yue glanced at him, took the coffee from Judy, took a sip slowly, and was about to answer.

Schozin replied first: "Mr. Davis, the only bank in the Ming Empire is Lord Wang Yue's private property, what do you want to ask?" ”

Boom, Davis's teacup fell to the ground, and the black tea in the cup was spilled on the ground, and when he was busy asking the servant to clean up, the eyes of Judy, the girl next to her, were already red. Oh my God, the national bank of the Ming Empire is actually Wang Yue's private property. This must be a big man in the royal family, not simply some court minister. As for Robben, who had already stood up in shock, the governor's wife, who was busy with her work, looked out of the window and smiled and asked what was wrong?

How big was the Ming Empire? The Dutch could not have imagined that in such a large empire, the sole owner of the bank sat opposite everyone. Davis, who prides himself on being worth a lot of money, suddenly feels like a beggar.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the biggest rich man of the Ming Empire seemed to be sitting in front of him, he was so young, and his whole body was exuding golden light. Swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, Davis said, "Your Excellency, your bank must have a lot of assets, right?" ”

Wang Yue shook his head: "I don't know how much, last year's statistics were about one billion silver dollars." I rarely ask about business or anything now, and the most clear account is the Minister of Finance of our starting city. ”
