Ulanov was in a very unhappy mood. It took him a long time to get to the position of Governor of Ukraine. During this period, he spent a lot of money and owed so many favors. He thought he could make a lot of money, but it seems that this time he will lose his pants.
No more left.
The matter has become so serious that it is beyond control. If you think about it with your buttocks, you know that he, as the Governor of Ukraine, is probably done.
But Ulanov is very unwilling to do so. If he steps down in such a dejected manner, he will lose all his money!
He doesn't want to live the rest of his life like those shabby nobles, at least not worse than before he became the governor!
Suddenly a sense of urgency came up, and he knew that he had to find a way to make money quickly! Otherwise, there would be no shop like this in this village!
Yes, the first priority that Ulanov thought of was to make money. He never thought about how to turn the tide or clean up the situation.
To him, these are not important at all, so what if he has the ability to be king of Kuanglan? There are countless people in St. Petersburg who are coveting his position. These people will never say good things about him, and they will not shamelessly criticize him when they seize this opportunity.
!
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, even if he has 10,000 mouths, he will still be blamed. So since the future is already dark and everything is useless, why don't you care about him so much!
"What is the Governor doing?" Anton suddenly asked, "When such a big thing happens, it's impossible for him to do nothing, right?"
The person in question was Anton's spy, working in the Governor's Palace, specifically one of Ulanov's secretaries.
Yes, one of the secretaries! Because Ulanov's appearance is not ordinary, there are more than a dozen secretaries around him, ranging from personal secretaries, work secretaries to confidential secretaries. I wish I could have a secretariat together.
Vasily Nikolayevich Kasinin was one of his working secretaries, mainly responsible for handling various documents.
As for why he became Anton's spy, it has to start with his relationship with Anton. Let's put it this way, Cassinin has known Anton since he was a child. The two are cousins, and Cassinin's mother is Anton's aunt.
.
It's just that the two brothers' career trajectories are completely different. Kassinin is better at reading and went to college, while Anton joined the army.
It's just that these two brothers are very capable. Anton is now the commander of the Kiev Gendarmerie, and Kashinin has become one of the governor's many secretaries. Strictly speaking, they are both considered top men in Russia.
Cassinin sneered: "Of course he can't do nothing. Everyone knows that he will not last long as governor, and St. Petersburg may remove him from office at any time. Recently, in addition to busy writing letters to friends in St. Petersburg asking for help,
Just busy making money."
Anton said in shock: "Are you still making money?"
Cassinen snorted: "Of course, nothing is more important to him now than making money!"
To be honest, Anton sometimes can't understand the way of thinking of these bureaucrats. It's time for them to burn their butts. Instead of putting out the fire, they go to make money? Isn't this crazy?
Kassinen explained: "Putting out the fire? He lit the fire, how can he put it out? What's more, what's the use of putting out the fire? The mistake is already there, no matter how hard he tries to fix it, some people will still criticize him, so he might as well make money quickly.
It’s real!”
At the end, he added: "What's more, if you make more money, you can give it to those good friends in St. Petersburg and ask them to help him speak. Not to mention keeping his official title, it can at least reduce his guilt, and maybe the big problem will be trivialized.
!”
Anton shook his head. He knew that Cassinin was absolutely right. This kind of thing seemed like something that bureaucrats could do.
He sighed and said: "Then you collect the evidence that he made money. When Count Dmitry Milyutin arrives, you hand it over and make that bastard spit out everything he has eaten!" m...
Cassinin looked at Anton in astonishment. To be honest, he couldn't understand his cousin. Their family background was very ordinary, and they could barely be regarded as run-down little aristocrats. The future of children from families like theirs was basically fixed, like
At most, he can help big nobles like Ulanov become nobles. If they feel comfortable, he may be able to get a moderately high official position.
And Anton is even more pathetic. He will only be a colonel in this life. Even if he has outstanding abilities, it is unlikely that he will become a general.
But Anton broke this inherent trajectory and became a colonel in his early twenties, and he was also a colonel with great power like the commander of the Kiev Military Police. Let’s put it this way, as long as he doesn’t make mistakes later, he will definitely become a colonel by the time he is forty.
General, it is possible to become a lieutenant general or even a general in the future.
When Kassinin first arrived in Kiev, he couldn't understand what kind of bad luck his cousin had got. But later he discovered that Anton had a close relationship with the reformists, and guessed that he must have hooked up with a big boss of the reformists.
Boat.
It is very likely that he was Count Speransky, the former governor of Wallachia.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Cassinin joining the reformists. At least the reformists are more willing to give opportunities to people of their background. Anton can have a bright future, so he must be the same!
This is also an important reason why he is willing to become Anton's spy to monitor Ulanov. After all, for Ulanov, he is just a little secretary who has no connections or backstage and does dirty work. He kneels down and licks his anus.
In the end, nothing was gained.
But just now Anton asked him to collect evidence of Ulanov's corruption and encouraged him to report it. This seemed a bit out of line to Kashinin.
To do this is to offend Ulanov to death. Yes, Ulanov is definitely doomed, but as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With Ulanov's financial resources and connections, it is basically impossible to make a comeback.
I hope, but it is not difficult to kill such a little secretary like him.
Isn't this seeking death?
To put it bluntly, even if Dmitry Milyutin admires him and is willing to protect him, as Ulanov's secretary, he openly reports against his boss. In any case, he is a bastard!
Although he is indeed a young man, there is still a big difference between being a secret young man and being a well-known young man.
The latter has simply cut himself off from the people. Who will dare to let him be his secretary in the future, and who will dare to trust him?
Isn’t this self-destructive?
Cassinin hesitated, and Anton also saw his hesitation and knew why he hesitated.
He was a little funny about this. He admitted that Kashinin was very smart and capable, but some things still looked at things from the perspective of a little person or a little secretary, and the conclusions he drew were naturally very different.
In his opinion, Kashinin's standing up to accuse Ulanov did have a bad reputation, but it could also open a door to a new world!
