In the afternoon of the same day, the president of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, Rod, came to Chinatown to offer condolences and brought some gifts, which was quite sincere.

In fact, Rhodes is also wiping his ass for Auterrell. Share.

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

Most of the wealth of the Netherlands in the Dutch East Indies was created by the Chinese, and 60 percent of the main commercial tax revenue each year came from the Chinese.

It also involves the income of the Dutch royal family, so the governors before the Dutch East Indies also attracted and cared for the Chinese.

The Chinese industry in the Dutch East Indies has formed a good industrial chain, and many Dutch East Indians who are attached to the Chinese plantations have the purchasing power.

There is also a good market for Dutch industrial products in the Dutch East Indies.

In fact, what the Dutch really hated were the unproductive gangsters of the Dutch East Indians, the lazy people, who had always been the most unstable factor in society, and who were the source of unrest.

Families who were willing to work and work did not participate in the riots and had the money to buy goods.

As the main mercantile class, for the Dutch, the existence of the Chinese was directly related to the prosperity of the colony and direct economic income.

Of course, there are many people who think this way, after all, it is just wool gathering every year, and for some people, wealth comes too slowly.

There are always red-eyed people, and Rhodes can't do anything to Autrell, he is just a financial officer, and he does not have the right to question the governor, but in terms of the size of his duties, he still needs to rely on the governor's breath.

If it weren't for Autrell's mess this time, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Autrell, everyone coexists with mutual benefit, and no matter what, the Chinese are outsiders after all.

And now, there is always a need to make a show.

According to Rod, when the Dutch East Indies rioted last night, two divisions of troops were dispatched to suppress the riot, killing and wounding several thousand people.

Rhodes was a businessman who brought some worthless fruits, but when he left, he took with him a lot of greeting gifts and more condolences.

Rod's so-called condolences were only verbal, explaining to all the Chinese that last night's turmoil, emphasizing the efforts of the Dutch defenders and the heavy casualties, not only resolved the "misunderstanding" of the Chinese towards the Dutch, but also obtained the "reward" paid by the Chinese on their own initiative.

In Rod's words, in order to protect the Chinese last night, the Dutch army paid heavy casualties, and the Chinese, who did not know it, immediately sorted out a large amount of money to repay the Dutch.

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

In the evening of the same day, all the bodies on the streets of Jakarta had been pulled out of the city and burned, and the blood on the streets was also cleaned.

But it can't wash away the anger and awkwardness in Li Daolin's heart.

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

Li Yishan's white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the only junior was Li Daolin, and in the face of his angry nephew, he could only persuade: "Dauling, no matter what, it was the Dutch who helped us last night, not to mention that the Dutch did kill and injured many people, we should always mean something." ”

"If it was in the past, I would definitely support you, but now is different, we can no longer rely on the Dutch to live on the snort, today they can kill them all, even if they fail, it is hard to guarantee that such a thing will not happen again in the future, don't forget the eldest brother and my unborn nephew." Li Daolin was very angry, almost gritting his teeth.

Li Yishan's face stiffened, sighed, stood up and patted Li Daolin's shoulder, and said: "We also have to think about other compatriots. ”

"But our money is also exchanged for the blood of our compatriots, and those Dutch people create contradictions between us and the Dutch East Indies from time to time, not to transfer the contradictions to us, and they can easily rule the colonies, and there have been many conflicts with the Dutch East Indians, how can we not see the shadow of the Dutch."

Li Daolin was indignant, and the anger in his suppressed heart also broke out, and said: "It's like this time, if someone hadn't transferred the Dutch East Indies to the Dutch army, do you think the Dutch army really came to help us?" The Dutch troops, who were already ambushed in the nearby streets, and the patrol teams to help block the streets, are not enough to tell the story? Now we give money to the Dutch, which is equivalent to feeding meat to the wolves, and once the wolves are hungry again, what will we do? If there is no meat for the wolf, the wolf will not eat us? ”

When Li Yishan heard this, he was silent for a moment, stared at Li Daolin and asked, "Daolin, this is not like you before, do you know something?" ”

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

"I don't understand." Li Yishan shook his head, he had thought of it somewhat, but he felt that it was completely impossible.

"Uncle, I can't say the specifics, anyway, I've had enough, in my opinion, whether it is the Dutch East Indians or the Dutch, they are a group of tigers and wolves, and we will not be bullied if we are stronger and more ruthless than them." Li Daolin didn't say anything, he believed that his uncle was also a smart person, and he should have guessed it somewhat.

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

"It's not the home of the Dutch, we've been here for decades, and some of our compatriots have even been here for a hundred years, so why make wedding dresses for others?" Li Daolin said.

"We alone are completely inadequate, the Dutch have fifty or sixty thousand garrisons here, and warships, I can't promise you." When Li Yishan heard this, he shook his head, for the sake of tens of thousands of Chinese in Indonesia, he couldn't 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?" ”
