Struggle in Russia

Lu Fontana's estimate is correct. For old nobles such as Count Adrian Petrescu, the land is the lifeblood, and the land required for him is equal to his life.

And the old count has always regarded himself very high. He looked down on the upstart and looked down on the little aristocracy with insufficient family heritage. For him, tradition is everything, and no one is allowed to taint and blaspheme, even the French!

"What about the French!" The old count snapped the table angrily. "After they sent the king to the guillotine 50 years ago, it meant that the true nobles had been extinct in France. Where would the nobles who murdered their monarchs, they He has forgotten the honor and sacred mission of the nobility, and has fallen to the same base as those base men! "

"The shameless and cheap French guys haven't finished their country's suffocation, but they still have faces to rush to Wallachia! They want to bring the plague to us, and they also want to destroy us. The most precious thing! "

"My old friends, the situation is already extremely severe. These **** French guys want to fight the idea of ​​our industry and are going to destroy our most lush farmland to engage in those smoky industries. We must respond and we must be strong Opposition, we must let them know who is the master of Wallachia! "

Adrian Petrescu's old friends are naturally the same old antiques as him. This group of people includes the oldest nobles in Prahova County, which are the most conservative and most real estate. They rely on land to survive and firmly It controls the most extensive and abundant land in this county.

For example, most of the land in the Prahova Valley is in their hands. Without their nod, Li Xiao's desire to develop an oil field or refinery is almost a dream.

Of course, not everyone in this group is as tough as Adrian Petrescu, because with the rise of the new aristocracy, these parasites that rely on land for survival are not as good as the next generation.

Especially with the establishment of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia, these conservatives are basically too afraid to participate in the operation against Russia because they are too conservative, so now they have a very low voice in the government. This is also a senior official of the interim government. The reason why we are preparing to give the Prahova Valley to Li Xiao without any psychological burden: after all, it is not our own things that do not feel bad.

"Count, that's true, but you must also see that the French are coming now, and the gang of babies in the interim government haven't put us in their eyes. They just want to please them ... the gang of cubs were originally I was full of resentment and looked coldly at us before. If I were to confront them again, I would worry ... "

Adrian Petrescu didn't like to listen to this, and he suddenly said angrily: "What are you afraid of! You are afraid of those little hybrids, I am not afraid! My lands are all made by ancestors by virtue. Yes, it makes no sense to give it to someone with both hands. "

"That's not the case! Earl, calm down. The situation is still unclear and people haven't said that they should be robbed, aren't they? They just said they were going to open an oil field in the Prahova Valley. You just shout and kill easily ... "

Adrian Petrescu asked with a frown, "What's easier?"

"It's easy to mess things up. What if people spend money to redeem? Even if you want to explode, you have to wait for them to refuse the price, right?"

Adrian Petrescu burst outraged: "Stupid! Even if he wants to buy, he has to see if I want to sell it! My land is not sold, and no money is sold! Gentlemen, money is available It takes a lot of play, but the land is different. Land is a generation after generation. Our children and grandchildren are guaranteed with land. How long can money be squandered without land? What can we do once the money is squandered? "

This remark hits deep into the soul. In a sense, Adrian Petrescu makes sense. Money can be spent, but as long as the land is still in his hands, there will be more or less input every year. One is One hammer trade, even if Jinshan is short, there may be a small amount of money each year, but as long as the earth is still there is not a harvest.

传统 For the traditional old landowners, the latter has a more market. Although they also like money, they prefer land. The first choice after wealth is not to consume but to try to get more land.

I am polite to say that sincerely they are parasites, it will not help the enhancement of social wealth, but will only limit the progress of productivity. After all, their land needs a lot of hired labor or serfs. And in order to guarantee their own benefits, they will do everything possible to desperately exploit those poor people who depend on their survival.

Of course, this is natural to Adrian Petrescu, he is not ashamed, and even eloquently taught those who opposed him:

而且 "And when we start to fight, it will be too late for us to resist, because the signs are already obvious. Don't you see that people have begun to do something in the back!"

"What movements?"

"What did the Frenchman do?"

"Earl ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Come on, don't sell it!"

In the face of the "old buddies" who looked anxiously around him, Adrian Petrescu was somewhat proud and cheerful. It hasn't felt that much attention for many years.

The last time, it seemed that when his grandfather took out his family's property to support the anti-Turkish movement forty years ago, at that time, their family was also full of promises.

It is a pity that since then there has been no such grand occasion. Turkey was beaten away, the Russians came, and life became the same. With the death of grandfather and father, Wallachia and Prahova have forgotten the great contributions of the Petrescu family.

"The interim government and the city of Bucharest have already negotiated and are preparing to force us to sell our land at low prices or even free of charge ... The assistant Mayor Baron Kosoy is running around to seize the might, and many little nobles can no longer afford it Threatening to surrender the land! "

"This is only the first step. When they have finished packing up the little nobles and small landlords, the next step must be our turn! We must unite and resolutely resist these bastards' mischief! Otherwise, our land and our family will be all over! "

Adrian Petrescu caused a sensation, and the nobles were heartbroken, fearing that their property would be taken away by force, and in order to protect their own interests, they were screwed up.

"Count, speak up! What are you going to do and what do you want us to do? Let us advance together!"
