Chapter 1014 It seems that you need to have a correct attitude
Alexander II sat there quietly, seeming to consider whether Count Shuvanov was really a suitable candidate.
To be honest, he didn't know much about this person. He only knew that he was close to Count Uvarov in the past. Later, he made some mistakes and offended Count Uvarov, who was punished and sent to the Kingdom of Sardinia to serve as an ambassador.
.
If he hadn't successfully prevented the Kingdom of Sardinia from joining the Anglo-French alliance, Count Shuvanov would have been like this in his life.
Although Alexander II followed Count Rostovtsev's advice and recalled him to St. Petersburg and placed him in the third department, he did not intend to reuse this person. If nothing else happens, Count Shuvanov may be like this in five or six years.
Son, whether there will be opportunities in the future depends on changes in the current situation.
Alexander II really didn't expect that Count Rostovtsev would suddenly recommend this person to him, and it was such an important task. Does this person have such ability?
Count Rostovtsev replied slowly: "There is no problem with Count Shuvanov's ability. He is outstanding in all aspects, and he is particularly familiar with the business of the third part!"
Alexander II was increasingly surprised. This evaluation was no longer extremely high. Is this Count Shuvanov really so powerful? Or is he a member of Count Rostovtsev?
It is very normal for Alexander II to have such thoughts. Any emperor would think so. However, Count Rostovtsev had already expected this. He continued to say unhurriedly:
"But Count Shuvanov also has a fatal flaw. He does have outstanding abilities, but it is precisely because of his outstanding abilities that he is a little bit confident and looks down on his colleagues. In addition, his loyalty is also a big problem. This person is too ambitious!
"
Alexander II was stunned for a moment. This shortcoming was too prominent. To put it bluntly, he would not dare to use such a person. He was very proud of his abilities and ambitions, but had no loyalty at all. This was not a true traitor.
Boy?
He hesitated. Such a double-edged sword was not easy to use. He might hurt himself if he was not careful. In his current state, wouldn't it be better to stay away from this kid?
Count Rostovtsev was very aware of Alexander II's mentality. When the tsar stopped talking, he naturally knew what he was worried about. He only heard him say again:
"Count Shuvanov's advantages and disadvantages are extremely obvious. If such a person is not used well, great things will happen. Of course, if used well, he can immediately open up the situation and reverse the situation. How to use it specifically needs your Majesty's discretion."
It seemed that he kicked the ball back to Alexander II, but Alexander II heard another meaning, that is, Count Shuvanov can use it, but what needs to be paid attention to is how to use it?
He touched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Count Rostovtsev bowed and replied: "I don't have any good suggestions, but based on my personal understanding of Count Shuvanov, this person must not have too much power, and must be firmly restricted.
Letting him run wild should avoid big problems."
Alexander II frowned and said: "Wouldn't this restrict him too much, leaving him unable to...unable to supervise Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky?"
Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about. It's just that he can't use his skills. But I want to tell you that he is the best at using small things to make big things happen. You give him three points of praise.
He dares to open a dyeing workshop, so he cannot be given too much power, otherwise he really can't do anything... Your Majesty, do you want him to supervise and promote Count Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky, and let them
He carries out his work wholeheartedly. If you give him too much power, maybe the third part will change from the current two tigers fighting to the three strong ones, and the situation will be even more difficult to deal with by then!"
Alexander II was surprised again. According to Count Rostovtsev, if Count Shuvanov had too much power, then this person would most likely be like Pobedonostsev and Dolgo
Once Duke Luckey becomes too short, the third part will really turn into a mess. Then the butt will really be wiped clean.
After thinking about it, Alexander II decided to follow Count Rostovtsev's suggestion and promote Shuvanov a little, so that he could encourage Pobedonostsev and Duke Dolgoruky to work well.
"Then this task will be left to you, Count. Please give Count Shuvanov a lesson and let him understand what he can and cannot do!"
However, Count Rostovtsev refused without hesitation: "Your Majesty, in view of the special characteristics of Count Shuvanov, I think it is more appropriate for you to motivate him personally. It can not only boost his morale,
It also allows him to know who he should serve...".
At this time, Alexander II was really relieved. Count Shuvanov was so capable, how could he not be worried? If this person was too close to Count Rostovtsev, or in other words, it was Rostovtsev
How can we get the Count's henchmen?
To put it bluntly, even if he is not Count Rostovtsev's man yet, what if Count Rostovtsev takes this opportunity to win over him?
So he wanted to test the relationship between Count Shuvanov and Count Rostovtsev. Judging from the situation just now, it was pretty good. There seemed to be no relationship between the two. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
It's just that Alexander II never expected that Count Rostovtsev would make moves much faster than him. It was just a matter of taking one step at a time. He had already done the work for Count Shuvanov in advance, so there was no loophole left for him.
Grasp?
Speaking of which, Count Shuvanov was called over by Alexander II, beaten and entrusted with important tasks, which made him both happy and surprised.
I am happy that my status has been improved, and I can be responsible for supervising and spurring big bosses like Pobedonostsev. I am shocked that Count Rostovtsev just told him that he would entrust him with an important task, and it was fulfilled within a few days.
And he asked Alexander II to fulfill it in person. What kind of ability is this? It’s so scary!
If Count Rostovtsev even ordered Alexander II to move, then dealing with this little shrimp like him would be nothing more than a joke.
If someone can make him prosperous today, then they can step him into the bottom tomorrow. How can he offend such a big boss now?
So it’s better to keep your attitude correct and don’t offend that person. It’s better to complete the tasks assigned by them beautifully!
