Struggle in Russia

Count Uvarov was naturally a smoker, and Count Rostovtsev's perfect and flawless plan was completely messed up.

What a good way he did before, let the Americans pay for the barren land without them paying a dime, how good!

Now it's better, they have to pay for that barren land. What's the difference between throwing money in the water?

What is even more irritating is that he can't object yet. The expression of Nicholas I has already explained everything. This majesty is particularly satisfied with the plan of Count Rostovtsev. If anyone dares to object, he will definitely not be able to take off his unpatriotic hat. .

But if you want Count Uvarov to swallow this sigh, he really can't do it. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Count, your plan is not impossible. But the question is if the United Kingdom really If you decide to invade the Far East and Alaska, what should you do? You can't just ignore it!"

This is a bit malicious, and it essentially puts Count Rostovtsev on the opposite side of all nobles who need to pay. If you think about it, it was enough for them to pay for a large piece of barren land, but now they may still not get the land after paying for it. Who is to make sense?

Count Uvarov thought that he could use this to do something. Even if Nicholas I could not be dispelled, he would at least make Count Rostovtsev feel uncomfortable for a few days, otherwise he really couldn't take it anymore!

Faced with Count Uvarov's ill-conceived question, Count Rostovtsev answered calmly: "Our main problem is the war in Wallachia. As for the Far East and Alaska, I will I've said it before, nothing to worry about. The big deal is that after defeating the Turks and the Anglo-French coalition, turn around and regain lost ground. But I think it is more likely that once we defeat the Turks, these problems will no longer be a problem, and the enemy will Take the initiative to retreat."

Count Rostovtsev gave Count Uvarov an understatement, and this was not the end, and he added at the end: "For a true patriot, there is no need to worry about failure, as long as we are united Yixin, as long as our will is strong enough, we are not afraid of not being able to defeat the enemy. Let alone the loss of a little money for the country!"

Well, this directly smeared Count Uvarov's face, leaving him speechless. Why? Just look at Nicholas I's expression.

What kind of court did Nicholas I like most? He likes obedient subjects the most. Of course, Count Rostovtsev is definitely not an obedient subject. In Nicholas I's heart, the most obedient subjects are Menshkov and Paskovich. dog.

Count Rostovtsev definitely couldn't even rank in the top ten in his heart, but in addition to his obedient subjects, he also liked subjects who could help him solve problems. Just like what Count Rostovtsev thought of for him just now, it made him particularly satisfied.

What is even more satisfying is the high-profile remarks that follow, what kind of king does not like this kind of minister who always contributes to him without asking for anything in return!

But he also knew that Count Rostovtsev mostly sang high-pitched voices, but such high-pitched voices were especially useful to Nicholas I, so whoever has an opinion on this is disloyal to him!

This is also the reason why Count Uvarov did not dare to continue raising his bar. He knew very well how serious the consequences would be if he made a bad impression on Nicholas I.

However, just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean that other people can understand the connotation. Chernyshov had already worn a pair of trousers with Count Uvarov, and he really didn't want to waste money, not to mention that his intelligence level was not as high as that of Count Uvarov. One sentence:

"Count, in that case, how much are you going to pay?"

Probably in Chernyshov's view, Count Rostovtsev was deliberately singing a high profile, and it was absolutely impossible to be so happy when it was really time to pay. And he didn't believe that Count Rostovtsev could really spend too much money, because he had never heard that the count was very rich.

As long as Count Rostovtsev can't pay a lot of money, he will definitely make a sarcastic sarcasm, and then not only can he let out a bad breath, but also let the whole Russia see clearly the hypocritical face of that guy.

It's just that Chernyshov didn't even think about how ruthless Count Rostovtsev was, and he said aloud before he fell behind: "Your Majesty, I have prepared half a million rubles for the acquisition of Alaska. Although the money is too much Less, far from enough to alleviate the financial problems. But I believe that as long as every Russian is generous, all this will not be a problem!”

Well, Nicholas I almost jumped up with joy. Count Rostovtsev's words moved him a little. He also knew that Count Rostovtsev's family was not particularly rich, but he paid so much in one go. More money to ease the country's difficulties, what kind of spirit is this?

"Very good!" Nicholas I praised Count Rostovtsev with a beaming smile, "if every Russian is as patriotic as you are, Russia will become a paradise on earth! Count, in recognition of you, I have decided to confer upon you Saint Rostovtsev. Andre Medal!"

The Medal of St. Andrew is not an ordinary medal. As for the meaning of Tsarist Russia, it is like the Medal of Honor of the United States and the Order of Lenin of the Soviet Union. Generally speaking, if there is no major contribution, it is impossible to obtain this medal.

And Count Rostovtsev just exchanged a sum of money for this medal~www.readwn.com~ To be honest, this is really a mess.

However, he also knew that the reason why Nicholas I was so generous was that the empire's finances were really too tight, and if his suggestion could be widely responded, then the money problem would be solved by more than half.

So Nicholas I certainly thought that Count Rostovtsev was doing well, but more importantly, he bought horse bones. He just wanted to show all the nobles of Russia and their subjects the role of Count Rostovtsev, and it is best that everyone learn from him.

Will he still be short of money?

Count Uvarov vomited blood, and when he caught Chernyshov after the meeting was over, he was so mad that he almost scolded the Minister of War into autism.

"It must not be like this!" Count Uvarov shouted angrily. "Let's pay for that barren land, and his calculus is really good! You go and tell the others clearly, We will definitely not pay for this money!"

Chernyshov was taken aback, looked around and persuaded: "Count, forget it, it's not like you can't see what Your Majesty means, it's easy to be hated by His Majesty! Let's save money from disaster..."
