Struggle in Russia

Viscount Prozolov's heart is full of hehe, Your Royal Highness, you were just singing high-profile, after all, you don't have any score in your heart, it's just nonsense!

However, Viscount Prozolov is also used to it. For him, it is his job to advise the boss. In fact, this is also the custom in Europe for thousands of years. The aristocratic gentlemen are responsible for rectifying the military equipment and practicing martial arts, and the retainers are responsible for making suggestions and administrative management.

Although the requirements for rulers have been getting higher and higher in the past 100 years, it is not enough for illiterates and single-mindedness. But in the end, the ruler does not need extraordinary resourcefulness, nor does he need to know everything, as long as he knows people and uses them well.

It's just that whether the Grand Duke Constantine really knows how to use people well is up to the benevolent. At least Viscount Prozolov was not without complaints. He felt that if His Royal Highness could trust him a little more, the result would be completely different.

But Viscount Prozolov also knows that there is never love without a reason in this world, and so is trust. If there is no usual accumulation, who would trust a stranger?

So he must seize every one that can win the trust of Grand Duke Constantine and perform well, such as now!

Viscount Prozolov said confidently: "Your Highness, it is not advisable to repair the railway temporarily, but it is still necessary to repair the main roads of Moldavia!"

Grand Duke Konstantin was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect that the first suggestion made by Viscount Prozolov was also to build roads, did he repair the roads?

He thought about it, and admitted that it made sense, but he was not reconciled, because he always felt that repairing roads was not as compelling as repairing railways. From now on, people will say that Wallachia is a high-end railway, while Moldavia is a petty supplementary road. How could this overwhelm the opponent?

Well, Viscount Prozolov felt a little pained when he heard the voice of Grand Duke Constantine. This family is really a great success passed down from generation to generation. No matter what they do, the bigger the better, the grander the better. Anyway, it's a toss about spending money like running water.

Viscount Prozolov is not opposed to tossing. If he is rich and powerful, he is willing to toss around with Grand Duke Constantine. After all, how can the boss make money without tossing them?

But the problem is that Moldavia is a mess, and you, Grand Duke Constantine, don't have the ability to return it after all your wealth and wealth, so we can only live by sewing, okay!

It's just that these words can't be said clearly, Viscount Prozolov can only remind him very tactfully: "It is true that repairing the road is a bit small, but it doesn't cost too much money. It is only when you spend a small amount of money to do big things... and In terms of time,

At this time, it is too late to start construction, we can only do some things with immediate results..."

Grand Duke Constantine was not stupid, and immediately understood what he meant. Money was indeed a big problem. He had checked the financial situation of Moldavia in recent years, and he could only say nothing. Anyway, Moldavia doesn't have much money on the books, and it has to go to St. Petersburg to ask for help from time to time.

Anyway, in the past few years, when winter comes, it is a traditional program for Moldavian nobles to go to St. Petersburg to cry poorly. According to these guys, if St. Petersburg does not provide assistance, Moldavian Orthodox brothers will starve to death and freeze to death. Miserable!

It's just that Grand Duke Constantine also knows that nine out of ten of these aids will not be really used on the poor in Moldavia, and most of them are privately distributed by these crying poor nobles. Even he knew that Nicholas I was aware of the real situation, but he did not refuse assistance or tear down the diorama.

reason?

The reason is that Moldavia has become a mirror. If it is not more glamorous and beautiful, it is very likely that the parliaments such as Britain and France will ridicule it and say that Nicholas I and Russia are not the same.

So it's not a big deal to spend a little money to get these Moldavian crooks to help sing the praises. At least Nicholas I didn't think it was a big problem.

Grand Duke Konstantin knew very well that Moldavia had no money, and there was no way to build large-scale construction projects. Therefore, Viscount Prozolov's method was a very pragmatic method, but he was a little skeptical about how effective this level of renovation would be. .

Viscount Prozolov smiled and said: "With Moldavia's financial resources and traffic conditions, it really won't achieve much if the road is corrected, but..."

Grand Duke Constantine's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there anything else to say?"

Viscount Prozolov said with a smile: "That means we don't need to completely renovate all the roads in Moldavia!"

Grand Duke Constantine was taken aback for a moment, and asked inexplicably, "Why? If the road is not repaired, it doesn't make much sense, right?"

Viscount Prozolov shook his head and said, "Think about it, what is the purpose of our repairing the road?"

Archduke Constantine replied as a matter of course: "Naturally, it is convenient to transport supplies to the front line..."

Well, Grand Duke Constantine suddenly understood that Moldavia's terrain is very interesting. The west is full of plateaus and mountains, and only the narrow and long corridor near the sea in the east is easier to use.

To put it simply, it is meaningless to build roads in the mountains to the west now, and nothing famous can be built at all, and it doesn't make much sense to the Russian army, because it is useless at all. It's better to concentrate financial resources to renovate the passage on the east, so that we can concentrate our efforts on major tasks.

"That's right. The mountains to the west can be ignored for now, as long as the road to the east is repaired!"

Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine understood what he meant, Viscount Prozolov said with a smile: "Yes, we only need to fix the road to the east. This can be done and it can be done very well!"

Grand Duke Constantine was immediately "joyful". According to Viscount Prozolov's train of thought, not to mention how well the road was built, but at least it would not be too far behind Wallachia. For him, as long as the loss is not too ugly, he can accept it. As for the bullshit, as long as he does it, he must do his best, that's just a matter of appearance.

"Okay, just do as you said, how about you take care of repairing the road?" Grand Duke Constantine asked kindly.

Viscount Prozolov hurriedly rebuffed: "Your Highness, you are joking. It is okay for me to help with road construction, but if I am fully responsible for it, I will not be able to do it. This is very important. I think you should choose one It would be better for an expert to take full responsibility!"

Grand Duke Constantine stared straight into his eyes, and said, "I don't have a particularly suitable candidate for a while, so why don't you do it first?"
