The predicament of Grand Duke Constantine is actually the predicament of all airborne cadres. Coming down directly from the top to take charge of the party is certainly impressive, but the problem is that the foundation is not old and the specific situation below is unclear.
It's easy to be sidelined by the people below.
Grand Duke Constantine made another stupid mistake before, thinking that he could make Moldavia's bureaucrats submit by showing kindness, but he misjudged the greed of human nature.
The situation in Moldavia is, to say the least, a mess. Not only are there countless rotten people in this mess, but these rotten people have no intention of cleaning up Moldavia. Instead, they only want to fish in troubled waters.
This mess would be better if it got worse.
In short, this country is in ruins from top to bottom, and there is no hope at all. It is simply unrealistic for Grand Duke Constantine to try to bribe them with a little profit and make them serve him.
Because these guys have formed an intricate interest group, in order to ensure their vested interests, they still do not buy the account of Grand Duke Constantine. It is even very likely that they have colluded together to evade Constantine.
Grand Duke Ding has reached an agreement.
In short, Archduke Constantine could not accomplish anything in Moldavia without eradicating these rotten people.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no good person in Moldavia, but these good people have been relegated to the corner by the mud, and they can neither play a role nor make a voice. Especially Archduke Constantine was eliminated as soon as he came up.
This arrangement made some people who initially planned to sit on the wall to see the situation very disappointed. They felt that the Grand Duke was just an embroidered pillow and would only be played around by those rotten people. Naturally, they did not dare to move closer to Grand Duke Constantine.
Yes, this makes Grand Duke Constantine even more unavailable.
Grand Duke Constantine actually doesn't know much about these situations. He still feels that there may be a lot of bad people in Moldavia, but it doesn't leave him helpless. He feels that since he is a prince, he can even forcefully suppress them.
Passable.
So during the negotiation with Alexey, he actually didn't know that what he really needed was not money, because no matter how much money he had now, it would still be wasted money in Moldavia.
It's cheaper for those bad people.
But Alexei is different. He has been watching the situation in Moldavia in the past few years. He knows what the situation is in this country, and he also knows what any governor who is interested in changing the situation in Moldavia needs most -
—That’s people!
To be honest, if it were not Grand Duke Constantine who became the governor of Moldavia this time, Alexei would actually wish that this country would be worse. Because of the chaos and corruption in Moldavia, the country's talents have always been poor.
Loss status.
A large number of talented and thoughtful Moldavia young people chose to leave their hometown. Some chose to go to Western Europe, while others came to Wallachia, because compared with the chaotic Moldavia, Wallachia's
The order is very stable, and Alexei, the governor, has been attracting talents. Anyway, Moldavia and Wallachia are of the same race, language, culture, and customs are basically the same, and they are very close to each other.
It is very attractive to many young Moldavia people who cannot afford to go to Western Europe.
In the past three years, Alexei has attracted a large number of talents from Moldavia. To put it bluntly, most of the young people in Moldavia who are slightly ambitious are either working in Wallachia or in Wallachia.
Studying in Guia. Moldavia has almost become a talent reserve warehouse for Wallachia. Especially after Moldavia becomes worse and worse, this trend becomes more obvious.
In short, Alexey has a large number of talents who are familiar with the situation in Moldavia. If Grand Duke Constantine really has the idea to change Moldavia's bad situation, in fact, it is these people who are needed most, not
money.
It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine didn't realize this yet, so he only bargained on the issue of money. Little did he know that the thing Alexei didn't want to give more was actually not money.
Alexey was actually happy when he saw Grand Duke Constantine asking for money blindly, but he had to pay back the counter-offer: "Two million a year for three years, but the interest must be paid!"
Grand Duke Constantine didn't know that he was wrong, and he was still asking for money: "Two million a year, for five years, and the interest must be the lowest!"
Alexei did the math and found that ten million rubles was actually a large number for Wallachia, but spending ten million to buy five years of peace was actually worth it. But he was still bargaining.
: "Yes, but you must ensure that Wallachia's reform measures are no longer attacked!"
Grand Duke Constantine laughed angrily and refused: "How is that possible? Don't you know the virtues of those old stubborns? How can they stop criticizing! At most, I can only say something for you!"
Alexei immediately shook his head: "That won't work. You must ensure that Wallachia's current policies can still be implemented. Otherwise, what is the point of my aid to you?"
Grand Duke Constantine thought for a while. If he just maintained Wallachia's current strategy, then he would not be too much at a loss. What he was afraid of was that Alexei would continue to carry out new reforms in his name. To be honest,
In that case, he would suffer a big loss.
"Yes, but you must tell me all the policies of Wallachia that require my protection. I will not care about anything else!"
Alexei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he achieved this goal, it was enough, because he really may not continue to deepen reforms in the next few years, as long as he can ensure that the current policy can continue.
Yes, both Alexei and Li Xiao know that they have basically touched the bottom line of the conservatives. Even if they continue to move forward, even if Grand Duke Constantine helps to say good things, the conservatives will not give up, even Nicholas I.
Neither will agree.
What we need to do now is to consolidate the existing reform results, develop another wave, and then wait for the situation to change. After all, according to Li Xiao's estimation, with the falling out with Turkey, a war is inevitable, and the possibility of Russia's victory in this war is
The nature is too small. Once Russia fails, the domestic conflicts that have been suppressed by Nicholas I will immediately break out. At that time, the conservatives will be too busy to think about disagreeing with the changes.
When that time comes, wouldn't it be nice for Wallachia to carry out the next stage of reform naturally?
