Peter came to the cubicle again, and Johanna was unhappy.
The food here is the most exquisite and delicious. There is no intention to be cold at all, but the atmosphere is too solid.
No one noticed, no one cared, no one praised, Johanna was very disappointed.
Seeing Peter coming, Johanna couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to salute. Peter supported her, and then they sat down and chatted while eating.
Johanna obviously didn't use her chopsticks much, and Peter had only tasted it briefly in the hall, but now he is eating more freely.
Seeing that His Highness was so comfortable, Johanna couldn't help but be secretly happy. This meant that His Highness did not regard her as an outsider.
Peter rarely gave Johanna wine, but Johanna kept drinking by herself.
After an unknown amount of time, Mirkovsky stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, Duke Dalia wishes to see you."
Peter smiled slightly and said:
"Please come in, Duke, and ask the maid to add a few sets of cutlery, and continue serving the food."
Mirkovsky couldn't help but ask:
"Your Highness, how many sets will you add?"
Peter said calmly:
"Five sets."
"yes!"
Everything was arranged immediately, and Duke Darier came in with a blushing face.
"Your Highness! My dear Your Highness! Allow me to extend my warmest and most sincere greetings to you!"
Duke Darier's enthusiasm filled almost every inch of the air here, making the atmosphere here no less than that of a hall.
After accepting Darier's greetings, Peter said to Johanna:
"Madam, allow me to introduce you to you. This is Duke Dalia, who comes from the Yusupov family and is the current leader of the Yusupov family."
At first, Johanna was a little happy to be disturbed by someone, fearing that dragging Peter away would embarrass her even more, but when she heard that the person coming was from the Yusupov family, she couldn't help but be surprised.
The wealth and origins of the Yusupov family are so famous that at one time, even the Romanov family was eclipsed.
For Johanna, who was addicted to all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies between big and small countries and heard hearsay, such a family leader immediately changed her view.
After all, when she married Stettin before she became rich, she was extremely poor, and a little bit of exposure would allow her to squander her life.
"Madam, your appearance is so beautiful, like a bright pearl, and your figure is so moving, like the undulating mountains and rivers. It is truly a masterpiece from God."
Even though she knew it was a compliment to Darier, Johanna still accepted it readily and gave him a gift in return.
Then she started to observe.
While they were drinking and drinking in the hall, she had already seen this man named Darier going to greet the Queen and His Highness, but she did not know his identity at the time.
What are you doing here to find Peter alone now?
After sitting down, Daliye spoke nonsense flattery. From the 80-year-old woman of the Yusupov family to the three-year-old child, they all deeply admired the wise and powerful Peter and were willing to do anything for him.
Peter smiled, he was not in a hurry, and gave the eighty-year-old woman and three-year-old child of the Yusupov family the same care as a central air conditioner.
Daliye talked for a while and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
What happened to those officials in the family? Your Highness has nothing to do with the previous rumors.
This unlearned and unskilled crown prince could not be impatient and impatient during such a long greeting. With his demeanor, it is not too much to say that he is the important ministers of the Privy Council!
Darier felt very lucky.
Had he not asked about fashion at the request of his wife, he would not have gone to His Highness and had a preliminary meeting.
The letter left by His Highness really surprised him.
Every time I see the above content, I feel shocked.
A man with such a long-term vision seems to have given a lot of leeway, but in fact he leaves no way out. He is still the crown prince. If he becomes the tsar, what will happen to Russia?
Whether in St. Petersburg or Moscow, there are rumors that His Highness is just a man who loves dogs and worships Frederick fervently. These rumors are simply outrageous.
What son of a bitch made it up? He just fooled everyone!
It’s so abominable!
Seeing that there would be no point in talking any more, Darier finally got to the point.
"Your Highness, on behalf of the Yusupov family, I am willing to join the Queen's Fund established by Your Highness!"
Johanna looked confused. She could still understand it just now. She had heard and said such flattery many times. She knew it was just a show of words. She was just surprised that the leader of the Yusupov family was so flattering.
But what does the Queen’s Fund mean?
Peter smiled and said:
"Since the Duke is willing to join, I welcome him very much. I wonder how much he will buy?"
Daliye said:
"Your Highness, our Yusupov family has a relatively large population, and the fashion designed by His Highness is unprecedented. All the ladies said it was an honor to own such a fashion, so I humbly ordered 80,000 sets from Your Highness.
I wonder if Your Highness is willing to give me this opportunity?"
Peter said:
"50 rubles or 100 rubles?"
Daliye said:
"Holy Mary, Your Highness, it's 100 rubles."
Peter said:
"You also saw what I meant before, so let's take 50% of what you said?"
What he said is that if they remain loyal after five generations, they can receive 50% of their quota from the remaining 70% of their consumption funds.
Daliye shook his head quickly and said with some fear:
"Your Highness, we are just Dukes, how dare we receive so much? Even Your Highness only takes 10% of the payment, how can we dare to exceed the royal family?"
"If you allow it, I kindly ask you to allow us to withdraw at 35%. If you ask, we can go even lower."
Peter smiled.
A set of clothing with royal markings sells for 100 rubles, which is two years' salary of an ordinary serving noble.
Among them, 10 rubles were the royal income, and his aunt asked him to manage it. To be precise, it was his income.
The cost and labor fee of 20 rubles are overwhelming, and there are only 70 rubles left to enter the fund.
According to the previous thinking, within five generations, 50 rubles will enter the pockets of those who buy it, and the remaining 20 rubles will be used by the state.
But now Dalier proposes that it only requires 35%, which means that each generation only needs to withdraw 7% of the rubles...
You can save 15 rubles per high-end fashion item.
good.
Before he became Tsar, it was important for him to have more money.
Peter said:
"Duke, you have a long-term vision. Cheers."
Darier was immediately flattered.
Before leaving, Daliye glanced at the other four sets of tableware and couldn't help but curse inwardly. What bastard spread the rumor that His Highness was unlearned and unskilled. Just based on this city, His Highness seemed to have conquered the other four.
It seemed like they were delivered to your door.
'It's unfathomable, it's unfathomable...'
Daliye left with emotion.
After Daliye left, the scene fell into silence, and Peter couldn't help but sigh at the Yusupov family's wealth.
One set costs 100 rubles, which is 8 million rubles.
