Chapter 24 The talents under his command are complete, and the seeds have been planted
Peter readily accepted Vorontsova's praise.
Then he smiled and said:
"The number of words in the detective collection is relatively large. There are nine parts in total, about 1.5 million words. I haven't finished it yet."
Ekaterina couldn't help being surprised when she heard 1.5 million words. Peter said to Vorontsova:
"Thanks to Zova, Zova has made a huge contribution, and now almost 500,000 words have been completed."
"Your Majesty, this is what Zova should do."
Vorontsova looked at Peter with affection hidden in her eyes.
Peter smiled and said:
"This serialization must be controlled well. The first "A Study in Scarlet" has 100,000 words. It should not be serialized as fast as "Beloved"."
Ekaterina nodded, feeling secretly happy because of the name of this detective collection.
Peter Sophia's Detective Collection, just like Peter Eyre, is about His Majesty and her. Thanks to Peter Eyre's shock, she can't wait to read this book.
And "A Study in Scarlet", judging from the name, isn't it about love?
Is it related to detective work?
What does explorable case mean?
Then Ekaterina said:
"Your Majesty, is the study of Scarlet Letter also printed simultaneously at home and abroad?"
Peter said: "Yes."
Ekaterina hesitated and said:
"Your Majesty, can I ask if this is just to make money? I want to understand this so that I can better serve Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Peter couldn't help but sigh, Yeka is indeed Yeka, she has an extraordinary intuition at the age of 15.
Peter said:
"Yeka, International News is for the outside world. It not only wants to make money for the country, but as you asked, it does have another purpose, which is to influence."
He doesn't mind talking about it here.
Yeka and Vivian are all participants, and Vorontsova is also a writer. In a sense, they are all working towards a goal at this time.
Peter glanced at the three of them and explained:
"In my design, International Newspaper will become the most influential newspaper in Russia, with the potential to radiate around the world."
"Yeka, what I want you to try now is just the literature section. In the future, the fashion section will also be involved. When the two are added together, the influence will increase very quickly."
"In the future, there can be economic sections, etc., but you don't have to think so much now. Do the first two parts well first, because the content itself is good. If you make money, the influence will naturally come."
Ekaterina listened carefully, nodded and said:
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will do my best to do a good job! I will live up to your expectations!"
Peter felt very relieved to see that the Russian business had another employee.
He said to Yeka and Vivian:
"Okay, one of you is literature and the other is fashion. I look forward to your performance. At the same time, in order to let you go free, I will prepare a starting capital of 100,000 rubles for both of you."
100,000 rubles?
Vivian was taken aback and then said:
"Your Majesty, fashion is free."
"I have already let the wind out. Every girl and lady who participates in the fashion selection has to pay money, and it is not just a small sum. Many people have already signed up."
Peter was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Vivian with something strange in his eyes.
Good guy, what a talent.
He had forgotten the huge influence brought by his aunt's fashionable clothes. Now except for those five stores, it has not been officially launched for sale. It seems that these nobles are anxious.
Peter said without hesitation:
"Okay, good job! Submit the report later. It must be detailed and accurate."
After receiving His Majesty's praise, Vivian saluted happily and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly, and all the money belongs to Your Majesty!"
She has always been grateful to the emperor for not only allowing her to attend such an important meeting of the Privy Council, but also for allowing herself to participate in this matter.
How much you value yourself.
She was determined to show off and live up to His Majesty's trust.
Seeing the honest countess, Peter felt happy.
He is always concerned about Vivian's physical condition, but he doesn't see anything wrong now.
Looks very good.
He didn't remember why Vivian died, but he had sent some people to the east in his name.
He really lacks confidence in Western bloodletting therapy, and now he can only hope that the veteran Chinese doctors in his home country can give him some help.
He didn't want anything to happen to Vivian.
As for the church, what will happen if the Holy Revelation fails?
He is the emperor now, what can be done to him?
At that time, after establishing the majesty of an emperor, the church will also become a state institution with a single order.
Seeing Vivian's performance, Ekaterina hesitated for a moment, but finally did not say anything about not asking for money.
She thought very clearly that fashion had the role of a queen, but the newspaper was different. If she had no money, it might not be successful.
Just use it first, and if there is anything left, return it to Your Majesty.
But no matter what, she will not lose to the Countess!
Just by glancing at Yeka's pure yet stubborn eyes, Peter understood what Yeka was thinking.
I couldn't help but smile and feel happy.
Yes, everything is good.
Although Ekaterina is only 15 years old, she has no impulse at all. At this point, her 32-year-old mother Johanna has been left behind to no avail.
He wouldn't be worried if Yeka said he didn't want money.
Newspapers are government agencies. Before they make money, they are two different things from fashion. They have to pay for it.
"Okay, your affairs have been arranged. If you want someone, go to the Privy Council and tell me my instructions. Everything will be approved for you... Well, open the door and let go, for the sake of Russia's tomorrow!"
Peter signaled to Vivian that she could go about her business on her own.
Then he hugged Ekaterina again, winked at Vorontsova in her resentful eyes, and walked out.
Time passed unknowingly, leaving literature to Ekaterina, fashion to Vivian, and control of the army. Peter had nothing to do and was light-hearted.
If he develops like this, he can become an existence like Catherine the Great without doing anything.
But is he someone who does nothing?
The current stage seems to be.
The seeds were planted. The farmers were Bestudev, Vorontsov, Ekaterina, Vivian and others. He was like the sky. It only rained from time to time. More often than not, it would be better.
While enjoying life, waiting for the seeds to sprout.
"There's no rush, there's no rush..."
Peter, who was competing with his aunt on horseback and hunting rabbits, smiled in his heart.
I have to say that my aunt is actually afraid of porcupines.
It was a baby porcupine that could be held in two hands, but my aunt screamed in fright, and then ran away in embarrassment.
He laughed heartily when he saw it.
…
Thanks to Peter's instructions, the transportation of gunpowder from the palace went smoothly.
A huge amount of gunpowder is hidden in a separate place, with no other buildings nearby, and guarded by several times more guards than usual, ensuring the dual safety of the gunpowder in both natural and man-made ways.
