Li Xiao didn't know that Count Rostovtsev had already made a prediction. He did not fully estimate the difficulties in the future. He felt that there might be a certain danger, but he never expected that the danger would come so quickly.
Take Vladimir as an example. The reason why this man jumped up and down and kept causing trouble was not only because of Nicholas I's advice, but also because he coveted the fat piece of Wallachia.
I have to say that Alexei, the governor who was too good at being a governor, was also a burden. He greatly increased the value of Wallachia, which aroused the jealousy of a large number of evil wolves. These evil wolves would not care about Alexi.
How much effort Keshe put in for this, they only saw yellow and orange money waving at them!
Unfortunately, although Alexey and Li Xiao have reached an alliance of interests with powerful people such as Duke Alexander, Duke Mikhail and Duke Ordov, this alliance is still relatively fragile.
For me, enjoying the dividends of Wallachia is more natural, and solving its troubles is a bit annoying.
Especially as Wallachia became more and more attractive, these troubles also increased, which gave them a feeling that their efforts were not proportional to their gains.
When there are more and more coveting wolves, and when Alexei and Li Xiao's reforms enter deep water, as the risks gradually increase, they will naturally become more and more hesitant. When one day they feel the risk
When the profit is greater than the profit, the real person will have the idea of reshuffling the cards. In fact, this day is not far away, but Li Xiao has not realized it yet.
"Are there any new developments at the Governor's Palace?" Vladimir asked slowly.
Under him sat several Wallachian nobles, including Christian Shtyrbey, nephew of the former Wallachian Grand Duke Barbu Shtyrbey, and Kon, the Minister of the Interior of the Grand Duchy of Wallachia.
Standing Jika.
These two belong to pro-Russian ultra-conservative forces. For example, Kristin Shtyrbey chose to flee Ukraine after his uncle was forced to step down. In Kiev, he had a fierce fight with Paskovich, and for a time he became the leader of St. Petersburg.
's guest.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Kogelniceanu who took away the position of the Grand Duke of Wallachia, he would actually be a strong contender for the Grand Duke of Wallachia. As for Constantin Gyka, as the Minister of the Interior, he is actually a strong contender.
He had nothing to do with Kogelniceanu, but with the help of his good personal relationship with Duke Peter Volkonsky, he was specially placed in Wallachia by Nicholas I to act as a troublemaker.
In the past two years, although he failed to cause too much trouble for Alexei and Kogorniceanu, he still had to get involved in all matters, big and small. For example, on key issues such as the confiscation of church property, he gave no less.
Nicholas I snitched.
These two people can be said to be the most hated people by Alexei, the governor. In the past, because Alexei blocked the sky with one hand, they had no way to behave. But now with Leonid leaving, with Vladimir
After joining, they immediately found the organization, which is called active!
"Your Excellency, the Governor's Mansion has been keeping an eye on the railway and is ready to do something big!"
Vladimir is actually quite unfamiliar with railways. When he was in St. Petersburg, he took the train to Gatchina once or twice, but the experience was really not that good. In his opinion, trains are not much faster than horse-drawn carriages.
, and the swaying and bumping noise was noisy, especially the pungent smell, which disgusted him very much.
Anyway, he hates trains and thinks this new monster is meaningless. Anyway, if he had so much money, he would never invest in the railway. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a few more acres of land and raise a few more serfs?
"Really?" Vladimir leaned lazily on the sofa and asked with squinted eyes: "Then have you figured out how much it costs to build the railway?"
What Vladimir wants to know most is not how much money it will cost, but where the money comes from. Even though he has only arrived in Bucharest a few months ago, he has basically figured out what Vladimir means.
The details of Ya Dagong.
The country's fiscal revenue is basically just enough to barely cover expenses. Most of the revenue, except for the part handed over to Nicholas I, is used to honor the dignitaries of St. Petersburg. The rest of the money is really only enough to give to Vlach
Officials in Asia and large are paid.
It is simply impossible to build a railway with this little money, so we have to find out where the money comes from. If Vladimir can prove that the income on Wallachia's books is actually false, then
It is very possible that Alexei, the governor, embezzled a large amount of money. If this can be proven, then he has made a great contribution.
First of all, Father Nicholas I will be very happy, because he has always suspected that there is something wrong with Wallachia, but he has no evidence. Secondly, if Alexey cheats and deceives things, then he, the governor, is likely to be guilty.
Boss, at that time, as the hero of the whistleblower, did the governor's throne belong to him?
Vladimir has not forgotten how wealthy the governor of Moldavia next door is. In the past two years, that governor has bought nearly 10,000 hectares of fertile land around St. Petersburg alone. Such a lot of money can't be just wages!
Vladimir's requirements are not high, as long as he can be on par with the governor next door, he will be satisfied.
In fact, this was the source of his motivation to go against Alexei in everything. He just wanted to squeeze Alexei away so that he could enjoy the delicious meal of Wallachia to himself.
"The specific budget is not yet clear, but there are rumors that it contains a large amount of foreign capital, including a large amount of French capital!"
【French capital?】
Vladimir suddenly became energetic. He suddenly sat upright, looked at Constantin Jika with a keen eye and asked: "Are you sure you have French capital?!"
Of course Konstantin Jika is not sure, because someone like him who doesn't deal with Alexey will definitely not know the core secret. He heard the rumors about French capital from the salon, and it is said that Kogelnica
Nu's secretary was drunk and flirting with a certain lady, and she let the truth slip.
As for whether this rumor is true, Konstantin Jika really has no clue at all. However, people like him have an advantage, that is, they can observe people's emotions. Vladimir is obviously very interested in this, so let's not worry about it.
Whether the rumors are true or not remains to be seen first.
As long as he took over this job, he would not worry about not having the chance to get close to Vladimir, so he nodded hurriedly in approval.
And this made Vladimir very happy. The relationship between France and Russia is really not good. Not only the Holy City issue and the religious issue, but also a series of issues such as ideology are not dealt with. If it can be proved that Alexei
After absorbing French capital, then he really has an explanation!
