Naturally, France is somewhat dissatisfied with the recognition of the independence of the Republic of Haiti. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Due to the existence of the Tang Dynasty, the expansion of other colonial countries has been seriously squeezed out. A large number of colonies in British history were preempted by the Tang people, and France basically did not take advantage of them in recent years.

If it weren't for Datang's support for France's control of the Maharashtra region in India, France would never have finally reached a compromise with Datang on the Haitian issue. The loss of Haiti caused France to lose all its substantial colonies in the Americas, before the Tang Dynasty advocated the merger of Dutch Guiana and French Guiana, and merged into a new colony with the most favorable treatment for the three countries, and according to this road of development, Guyana will eventually become an independent country like Haiti.

However, there were still many far-sighted progressives in France, and many could see that the Warsaw system was in fact a new way of thinking about breaking the barriers of the old colonial pattern, within which many countries and regions no longer confined their own territories and colonies, but everyone opened up to free trade, so that goods and services could circulate on a larger scale.

In the short term, for many up-and-coming countries, this framework will impact their national industries, just as many capitalists in France have given up setting up their own enterprises and choosing to cooperate with the Tang people in joint ventures. Through the joint venture, the French have obtained the advanced technology of Datang and learned the excellent management of the Tang people, and these things can be transformed into France's national competitiveness later. Moreover, Datang's overseas territory is too vast, and Datang has less than 30 million local people at this stage, and the business in many regions is actually not very well taken care of, and the competition is not sufficient. After the implementation of the Warsaw system, French goods can enter Datang's overseas territorial markets with relatively low tariffs, and there are still very, very many business opportunities.

Moreover, the prices of raw materials and other consumer goods purchased throughout Datang have also been greatly reduced, which will inevitably help French companies reduce costs and increase profits. For example, Datang's domestic metal minerals can not only be used in China, but also exported to other countries and regions. France imports a considerable amount of bauxite, copper ore and tin ore from Datang. Datang's import and export are mainly manufactured products, but all kinds of goods in the industrial chain from high to low are sold.

There are also many voices in France, calling for emulating Datang's economic model, actively expanding free trade, and developing France's economy. Haiti's independence was inevitable, but France immediately adjusted its posture to defend the interests of the French on the island. Later, however, Louwitour announced that the French plantation owners who remained in Haiti must make a moral apology and compensation for their former slaves, as well as give their employees a substantial discount in terms of wages and treatment. Most plantation owners would not be able to accept such conditions, so they had to accept the Haitian government's offer to buy their plantations at very low prices.

On the other hand, France is still actively setting up its own trading companies in Port-au-Prince and other places. This time, the French heard the news relatively well, and the Tang people obtained the mineral exploration rights granted by the Haitian government in many places through mediation of the Haitian dispute, and the Tang people found some valuable minerals in these places almost immediately. Tang companies will enter into joint ventures with the Haitian government to develop local resources, and it is clear that Datang companies will not be the only customers who will digest the output of these ores, and the French will also have a good opportunity, and French businessmen hope to continue to buy valuable goods from Haiti and sell them back to Europe. In addition, France itself is also advancing its industrialization well, and some goods are enough to withdraw from exports. France also hopes that the Haitian market will be able to accommodate many light industrial products produced in France.

Haiti is just below Datang Yuzhou, and French goods will inevitably face stronger competition from Datang goods, so the French are very strategic to choose a few Datang commodities that are not in sufficient supply, and choose to give up on salt, textiles and other commodities that Datang is particularly strong.

After Haiti became independent, a series of policies were introduced, and Datang's assessment was relatively reliable. If Haiti is determined to advance its national development strategy in this era, perhaps in 100 years' time, Haiti in the Caribbean will become a developed country. However, there are still some people who scoff at this, who are often prejudiced by skin color, who believe that black people who prefer leisure to work by nature have a hard time building a developed country. Datang officials have no particularly optimistic expectations for Haiti's development. However, the president of Lou Weitour, who only began to study culture after the age of 40, still attaches more importance to education in Haiti. He made the decision to hand over many resources of Haiti Island to the Tang people, but also proposed that Datang support a group of Haitian teachers to help Haiti build its own education system, and also selected international students to study in Datang.

Haitians don't seem to attach much importance to their own national defense and security, and with the care of Datang, Haitians don't believe that anyone else will get into trouble. In addition to retaining a small number of military forces, most of the rebel army has been disbanded and returned to their homeland. Almost all blacks were proletarians or slaves, and the plantations were now in the hands of the state, so the Haitian government began to dominate the plantations itself, and began to grow cotton, coffee, spices, and other cash crops that sold well for export.

Haiti's population is small, in fact only a few hundred thousand. The island is the second largest island in the Caribbean, second only to Cuba, with an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers. The main food crops were cassava and sweet potatoes, but after trading with the Datang, Haitians found that they could buy wheat and rice from the Datang at very low prices, and the value of growing tropical cash crops was clearly more cost-effective than growing food. Following the example of Datang, it has established a grain reserve and basically abandoned large-scale grain planting, and tropical plantations mainly grow tropical cash crops, which has also become an important national development strategy for Haiti.

In fact, the island of Cuba, to which Tang Yuzhou belongs, is also like this, with only small-scale grain cultivation on the island, and more tropical cash crops such as tobacco. Datang's local grain production is off the charts, so in many Datang areas, they choose to give up grain production appropriately and rely on transshipment of grain from other regions. Even South American countries such as Peru and Colombia mainly rely on imports from Datang for food supply, and these countries also know that if they rely on one less grain, they will not reduce their dependence on Datang much, so they are not worried.
