I Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Chapter 14 Deputy Minister of Commerce, the country's foreign relations! [1/10] [This chapter must be read]
Chapter 14 Deputy Minister of Commerce, the country's foreign relations! [1/10] [This chapter must be read]
"Daliye, you serve as the Deputy Minister of Commerce under the Privy Council, and you are granted the title of fourth-class civil servant."
Then he looked at Vorontsov and said:
"The current personnel of the Privy Council will remain unchanged for the time being, but from now on only second-class civil servants and above can join the Privy Council."
Vorontsov was stunned for a moment and said:
"yes."
Then I had some doubts:
"But Your Majesty, there is no Department of Commerce under the Privy Council now, only the Commerce Committee."
Peter smiled and said:
"Change this and call it the Ministry of Commerce from now on."
It’s called the Commerce Committee. Isn’t the word “member” an understatement?
Vorontsov nodded, understood it and then said:
"What about the candidate for the minister?"
Peter said:
"It will be left vacant for now. These people on the committee will first be assigned to the Ministry of Commerce, led by Dalia. Only third-class civil servants can serve as ministers."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone present fell into deep thought.
Minister of General Affairs Vorontsov is now the highest-ranking first-class civil servant, and Deputy Minister of General Affairs Bestudev is a second-class civil servant. If the Minister of Commerce can only be held by a third-class civil servant, doesn't it mean that the Minister of Commerce is a springboard to enter the Privy Council?
Darier couldn't help but feel excited.
Suddenly he went from having no official position to becoming a fourth-class civil servant. It can be said that the fashions he bought before were a great deal!
Not only is it saving money for future generations, but His Majesty actually gave me such a huge reward.
"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your cultivation and promotion. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Dalia stood up and solemnly promised.
Peter nodded. The higher you go up the team, the more pure you must be. As a minister, he will not let go so easily. Anyone who serves as a third-class civil servant must be financially transparent. This matter can also be dealt with later.
The road is long and long, but he is only 16 years old now. National policies are usually calculated on an annual basis, but he has enough time.
The national destiny of the Russian Empire will be strong because of him!
Having said most of the above, only military and war reserves are left.
The most important things in the country are military and religion. Peter is not prepared to make any changes to religion now, but military and war reserves...
After asking, it was obvious that it was all about conventional warfare.
Peter hesitated, but ultimately did not propose his own changes.
National carriage competition, all transformed into war horses during wartime,
Border warehouses were established across the country to ensure logistics in times of war.
Properly arranging military meals, preventing septicemia, and improving combat morale all cost money after all.
But now, I originally thought that tens of millions of rubles would be more than enough, but it cannot be moved outside. Even if he puts his own money in it, it is too little for the entire country.
You have to find a way to make money.
Peter knocked on the table and said:
"Everyone, today's meeting is here for the time being. Minister of General Affairs, potatoes are the top priority. Arrange it immediately. There must be no neglect. If this matter is done well, you will always be a distinguished minister in my heart. Otherwise,
, I don’t want to embarrass your family, understand?”
Peter's expression was very serious when he spoke.
Vorontsov's heart was agitated, and he immediately said solemnly:
"Yes! Your Majesty! I will do my best!"
Peter nodded and explained:
"Daliye, you are responsible for selecting girls with tall figures and outstanding temperaments among the nobility across the country, including ladies. I want to hold a fashion exhibition in Russia to build up our reputation in Russia."
"yes!"
Darier was also in a very excited mood. He started to do something as soon as he took office, and it was related to fashion. He was full of energy.
Peter looked at Vivian and said:
"You are responsible for organizing the palace's first fashion conference, and get this done before the princesses from various countries leave. I hope to maximize the impact of this event."
"yes!"
Vivian was also nervous and excited. She was grateful for His Majesty's attention, but she was a little worried about whether she could do it well.
Peter looked at her again and said:
"We can discuss it with Ekaterina."
Vivian bowed again and accepted the order.
Then Peter looked around at everyone and said:
"I would like to emphasize the confidentiality regulations again. Whoever proposed what happened today is not allowed to be told. Regarding the changes in Russia, if there are rumors outside, they must be initiated by Vorontsov and Bestudev. I am still ignorant.
Do you understand the emperor who likes to have fun and knows nothing about national affairs?"
Everyone's expressions were suddenly shocked, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused after thinking about it.
Judging from His Majesty's words, it turns out that Your Majesty was just pretending when he was the Crown Prince.
From the crown prince to the emperor, he still pretends to be the emperor. What should he pretend to be? To unify the whole world?
Everyone responded with strange expressions.
Peter spoke:
"Others can go, Bestudev and Vivian stay."
"May your Majesty be safe!"
"May your Majesty be safe!"
"May your Majesty be safe!"
"..."
As the ministers left one by one, Bestudev finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Majesty planned to talk to him, otherwise he would be really uneasy.
But now his hopes are greater. If His Majesty was just pretending before, it means that Your Majesty is not stupid. Judging from his behavior just now and the pleasant expression on his courtiers, he is actually a wise master.
Talking to Master Ming about things makes him happy and excited!
Peter glanced at Vivian and said, "The rest of the conversation is none of your business, just keep writing."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Vivian said respectfully. She could hear the solemnity in His Majesty's tone, and it was obvious that what he was talking about was not a trivial matter.
She lowered her eyes and only stared at the paper and pen in her hand.
Bestudev took a deep breath and spoke cautiously:
"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to your loyal subject?"
Peter smiled and said:
"What to talk about?"
"Bestudev, you are the Deputy Minister of General Affairs in charge of foreign affairs. Naturally, what I want to talk to you about is international relations."
Bestudev's heart skipped a beat, he shouted for excitement and let his horse come over.
He became more and more respectful and calmly said:
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Peter said: "Let me tell you your opinion first. I won't have any room for you to refute once I speak."
:……
Bestudev was silent for a moment, straightened his expression, his breathing began to become longer, and he slowly said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive my abruptness, one of the core of Russia's foreign affairs is to deal with the ever-expanding Prussia."
After carefully observing the emperor's expression and seeing that there was no change in his expression and no sign of anger, Bestudev continued:
"As for other countries, the UK is the furthest away and the most powerful. It is the first country we should unite with."
"Although France is far away, it is a powerful country in Europe after all. We are also a big country on land. There will be a war in the future and we cannot form alliances."
"If we want to contain the ever-expanding Prussia, Theresa, who had a deep hatred for Frederick, must unite."
"Saxony borders Prussia, and its national strength is not as good as that of Prussia. In order to prevent it from being annexed by Prussia, we must also form an alliance."
"Although we have the Baltic Sea as our outlet, it is not as significant as the Black Sea. If we want to develop further, the Ottoman Empire must solve it, but now peace is the most important thing."
"Switzerland was defeated by us just last year. Johanna is about to become Queen of Sweden, which can temporarily ensure peace in the north. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is an obstacle to our westward advance and must be removed."
