I am utterly gobsmacked by the plethora of financial gobbledegook contained in those few lines.
Enron or Lehman`s could have used your obvious skills.
You say that Holland was `cash negative for the Empire` - what does that mean?
I see, also, that `debts were abrogated` - please explain; owed by whom to whom? abrogated = cancelled?
Are you saying that cash flowed from France into Holland? If so how much? when?
What about cash flowing in the other direction?
