Count Uvarov took a breath, calmed down, and told himself that at times like this, he must be calmer.
He said calmly: "Have I ever said that I will hold anyone accountable? From the market value perspective, my purpose is to find out why we have failed so much during this period. Only by understanding the reasons can we avoid continuing to
Making the same mistakes and finding solutions in a targeted manner is the key!"
After a pause, he looked at the old Adlerberg coldly and said: "As for the Ukrainian problem, is it difficult to solve it? Or are some people's iron cock problem again?"
Old Adlerberg was stunned. Count Uvarov's words were simply aimed at him. Although there was no positive criticism, Pili Yangqiu's tone was really hard not to make people think more about it.
To be honest, he also has a temper. The reason he has been honest with Count Uvarov all these years is not out of respect, but just awe. And now does this old guy still think that he can do whatever he wants in his prime?
It's hard to say that he also vented a little, and immediately said to Count Uvarov: "Count, if you think the Ukrainian issue is easy to solve, then you should hurry up and tell me how to solve it!"
Count Uvarov glanced at him and became more and more sure that this old fox must have some objections. It seems that he must be careful about him making trouble in the future.
"To put it bluntly, the problem in Ukraine is still a question of money. If the state treasury has enough money, what do those mobs have to worry about? If we could send a large army to suppress it like we helped Austria in 1848, how could this rebellion be like this?
"
Old Adlerberg suddenly stopped talking. In a sense, Count Uvarov was right. The rebellion is not difficult to deal with. As long as you have enough money, you can teach those people in minutes by mobilizing an army to suppress them.
The mob behaves.
But isn’t the problem now that the state treasury has no money, and then everyone is unwilling to raise taxes and contribute money?
Old Adlerberg can be sure that nine out of ten people who came to the meeting are masters who are unwilling to pay. The core concept of this group is that of course the rebellion needs to be solved, but it is best to do it without spending money.
Don’t spend money. If you must spend money, it’s best to spend other people’s money. They don’t want to pay a penny!
That's why Duke Dolgoruky targeted the reformists from the very beginning, saying that the rebellion was all the fault of the reformists and that if there was any problem or trouble, just go to the reformists.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to spend money and pass the blame.
But Count Uvarov directly said that if he wanted to quell the rebellion, he had to pay for it, and it would be best for everyone to spend money to put an end to the rebellion immediately.
On the surface, Duke Dolgoruky’s suggestion is certainly more popular, but can shifting the blame actually solve the problem?
Mostly impossible, and whether the blame can be dumped is still a question. After all, everyone is not an idiot, and they can all see that the most fundamental reason for the serf uprising in Ukraine is the serfdom system.
The only way to solve the problem of serf uprisings is to solve the serfdom system.
In short, the most effective way to counter insurgency or suppress the continued spread of rebellion is to end serfdom.
But this is definitely something conservatives like them don’t want to see. This is tantamount to costing their lives, okay?
So anyone with a little bit of brains knows that Count Uvarov's suggestion is actually more practical and can better solve their current crisis.
If everyone provided money to help Alexander II quickly quell the rebellion, and after everything stopped, naturally no one would be able to criticize the serfdom system with the rebellion, and naturally there would be no such thing as abolition of slavery.
To put it simply, Count Uvarov's solution is to lose money and avoid disaster. Everyone should pay for it to temporarily solve this problem, and then we can get over it.
So for the conservatives, whose approach do they prefer? If it were in the past, they would have agreed to Count Uvarov's proposal without saying a word, gritted their teeth and shed some blood, and saved the serfdom system first.
But now, Count Uvarov's authority has been reduced too much. More and more people have seen that he is unable to do what he wants and that he is about to end. And behind Duke Dolgoruki, Baryatinsky
He is very likely to be the future leader of conservatives.
At this time, should we continue to support an old boss who is about to retire or support a new boss who is about to take the stage?
This question has never been difficult to choose. Who doesn’t understand red-topped white?
What's more, Duke Dolgoruky's proposal doesn't cost money, even if it doesn't cost money for the time being, that's a good thing, right?
Naturally, Count Uvarov's proposal was opposed by most people. Everyone agreed that the previous war with Britain and France had caused them to bleed heavily, and it was unacceptable to ask them to donate blood voluntarily now.
"There is no reason! We have made a lot of contributions to the country, and now the trouble caused by the liberal elements will cause us to suffer losses! Any proposal to increase new war taxes is unacceptable and we are firmly opposed to it.
!”
Count Uvarov did not seem surprised by this result. He calmly watched these stingy vampires loudly accuse the reformists. After they finished speaking, Count Uvarov said slowly: "Since you think so, then
Different people don't agree with each other, so I won't say anything more, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, Count Uvarov patted his butt and walked out of the way. He walked away so cleanly. This made the misers who were clearly accusing the reformists of opposing money were dumbfounded. They felt that Uvarov
Count Husband would give him some advice no matter what, and when the time came they would bargain with each other and make as little blood as possible, and the matter would be over.
Yes, this is what the vast majority of reformists think. The purpose of supporting Duke Dolgoruky is to lower prices with Count Uvarov. By the way, they also express their position, that is, they firmly support the new boss and for the sake of the new boss.
Boss, they are willing to draw a clear line with Count Uvarov.
This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only solve the rebellion in Ukraine relatively cheaply, but also show loyalty to the new and old bosses. Why not do it!
It's just that Count Uvarov didn't give them a chance to bargain. As soon as they said they didn't want him, he just turned the table and ran away. How would the drama behind it play out?
To be honest, all the conservatives in this group were dumbfounded. The only way forward seems to be to firmly support Duke Dolgoruky and fight with the reformists?
It's just that they really don't have the confidence to defeat the reformists. After all, the situation and general environment are very unfavorable to them. The consequences of recklessly starting a war may not be optimistic!
Immediately, this group of people began to beat their heads, looking left and right, often exchanging glances, and each of them looked so guilty!
