All Viscount Prozolov could think of was hehe. Your Highness, the Grand Duke of Emotions, you were just singing a high-key tune. In the final analysis, you had no clue at all. You were just talking nonsense!
However, Viscount Prozolov is also used to it. For him, it is his job to advise his boss. In fact, this has been the custom in Europe for thousands of years. The nobles are responsible for arranging military equipment and practicing martial arts, and the retainers are responsible for advising and administrative management.
Although the requirements for rulers have become higher and higher in the past 100 years, and it is not something that illiterate or single-minded people can do. But in the end, rulers do not need to be extraordinary in wisdom, nor do they need to know everything. They only need to know people.
Making good use of it is enough.
It's just that whether Grand Duke Constantine really knows how to make good use of people is a matter of opinion. At least Viscount Prozolov is not without criticism. He feels that if His Highness the Grand Duke could trust him more, the result would be completely different.
However, Viscount Prozolov also knows that there is never love without reason in this world, and the same is true for trust. Without daily accumulation, who would trust a stranger?
So he must seize every opportunity that can win the trust of Grand Duke Constantine and perform well, such as now!
Viscount Prozolov said with confidence: "Your Highness, it is not advisable to repair the railway temporarily, but repairing the main roads in Moldavia should still be done!"
Grand Duke Constantine was stunned. He really didn't expect that the first suggestion made by Viscount Prozolov was also to repair and renovate roads?
He thought about it and admitted that it made sense, but he was not reconciled to it because he always felt that repairing roads with patchwork was not as good as building railways. From now on, people will talk about Wallachia as a high-end railway, and
Moldavia, on the other hand, is a small-minded mending force. How can they possibly overwhelm the other side?
Well, Viscount Prozolov was a little bit pained after hearing what Grand Duke Constantine said. This family is really a great success passed down from their ancestors. No matter what they do, the bigger, the better, the more grand, the better. Anyway, they spend money like water.
It's a toss-up.
Viscount Prozolov is not opposed to tossing. If he is rich, he is willing to let Grand Duke Constantine toss as much as he wants. After all, how can the boss make money if he doesn't toss their little pawns?
But the problem is that Moldavia is a mess, and you, Grand Duke Constantine, don’t have the ability to come back after all your money has been spent, so we can only live a patchwork life, okay?
However, these words cannot be said clearly. Viscount Prozolov could only remind him tactfully: "It is true that the pattern of repairing the road is a bit small, but it does not cost too much money. Spending small money to do big things shows your ability...and
In terms of time, it is too late to carry out major construction projects at this time, so we can only do some immediate things..."
Grand Duke Constantine was not stupid, and he immediately understood what he meant. Money was indeed a big problem. He had checked Moldavia's financial situation in recent years, and could only say that it was hard to explain. Anyway, on the books, Moldavia was
Those who didn't have much money had to reach out to St. Petersburg for help from time to time.
Anyway, in the past few years, it has been a traditional program for Moldavia nobles to go to St. Petersburg to cry out for their poverty in the winter. According to these guys, if St. Petersburg does not provide assistance, the Orthodox brothers in Moldavia will starve to death and freeze to death. That is called a
How miserable!
But Grand Duke Constantine also knew that nine out of ten times these aids would not actually be used on the poor people of Moldavia, and most of them would be shared privately by these poor nobles. Even he knew that Nicholas I
He knew the real situation, but he did not refuse help or expose 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 Britain, France and other countries will sneer at Nicholas I and Russia.
So it was not a big problem to spend a small amount of money to let these Moldavia swindlers sing their praises. At least Nicholas I didn't think it was a big problem.
Grand Duke Constantine knew very well that Moldavia had no money and could not carry out major construction projects at all, so Viscount Prozolov's method was a very pragmatic one, 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 is true that if the road is paved and corrected, nothing can be achieved, but..."
Grand Duke Constantine's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is there anything else you can say?"
Viscount Prozolov laughed: "That means we don't need to completely renovate all the roads in Moldavia!"
Grand Duke Constantine was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why? If the road is not repaired, it doesn't mean much, right?"
Viscount Prozolov shook his head and said: "Think about it, what is the purpose of repairing the road?"
Archduke Constantine replied naturally: "Of course it is convenient to transport supplies to the front line..."
Well, Archduke Constantine suddenly understood that the terrain of Moldavia was very interesting. The west was full of plateaus and mountains, and only the narrow corridor near the sea in the east was easier to use.
To put it simply, it is meaningless to build roads in the mountainous areas in the west now. It will not achieve anything good at all, and it is not of much significance to the Russian army because it is not used at all. It is better to concentrate financial resources on renovating the east passage.
First, you can concentrate on doing big things.
"That's right. The mountains to the west can be ignored for the time being, as long as the road to the east is repaired!"
Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine understood what he meant, Viscount Prozolov smiled and said: "Yes, we just need to repair the road to the east. This is completely possible and can be done very well!"
Grand Duke Constantine was immediately "overjoyed". According to Viscount Prozolov's thinking, regardless of how well the road was built, at least it would not be too far behind Wallachia. For him, as long as he did not lose too much
It's acceptable to be ugly, but as for bullshit, as long as you do it, you have to do your best, that's just a show.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, how about you take charge of repairing the road?" Grand Duke Constantine asked kindly.
Viscount Prozolov quickly refused: "Your Highness, you are joking. It is okay for me to help with suggestions for road construction, but it is beyond my power to let me take full responsibility. This matter is very important. I think you should choose a
It’s better for an expert to take full responsibility!”
Grand Duke Constantine stared directly into his eyes and said: "I don't have a particularly suitable candidate for the moment, so how about you do it first?"
