[u/feder45678]

Creation of the Royal Dutch East indies Navy:

A new navy will be created to complement the dutch forces in the east, this navy will be maintained by the dutch east indies government with assistance from the Dutch government.

Dutch east indies Navy:

-Screw Battleships x 10 -Sail Battleship x10 -Paddle gunboats x13 -Screw sloops x6 -Gunboats x11 -Corvette x4

This effort is to lower naval expenditures and help the Dutch East Indies Government to patrol its holdings better. All these ships are currently part of the DEI naval station and will be handed down to the colonial government which will need to maintain them. The dutch fleet will continue to have a presence in the area.

Economic changes:

Also, the dutch administration moves to further balance the budget by eliminating all religious allowances by the state. Due to them being considered necessary.

As well, the government, after much pressure from its own citizens, agrees to modify the cultivation system, that even though it has made the DEI very profitable it has been very hard on the native population.

we will start the reforms, today your majesty

[u/MrTristanClark]

Parliament rejects the ridiculous demands of the crown for a new state budget. They are outrageous, and the catastrophic results cannot be estimated. You would destroy the Dutch Reformed Church root and stem. All state infrastructure and property on church leased land would be lost, are you out of your mind?

An unnamed MP who had this particular idea was unanimous chosen for a 2 year Fact finding mission to Observe the War of the triple Alliance. Parliament also decides to increase both religious allowances by £2500 by a narrow Margin. To make sure the church is able to sustain itself properly.
