Chapter 15 The half-bald man appeared, and the short trip outside the palace ended
Peter felt that this attribute point was really powerful. Now it was clearly the Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon, but it actually turned into a dragon knight.
Then if you really become a dragon knight, wouldn't it be even more awesome?
Then he noticed Vorontsova's gaze, coughed dryly, and Peter tried to cover it up slightly.
The day hasn't passed yet, there's no need to go so fast.
A little bit of stamina and a little bit of stamina makes you so awesome...
At that time, all the noble girls and court beauties will be under his command, and they will be like the crown prince’s version of the demon monk.
So with the remaining nine attribute points, Peter decided to try again after returning to the palace. After all, the changes were a bit obvious.
Seeing Vorontsova's face turn red, he couldn't hold it anymore, so Peter woke up the boyar nobleman in an attitude of caring for the maid.
Vorontsova's face turned red. Although the daughter of a great noble could not be the queen of her country, she was proud of being the crown prince. In addition, Her Majesty the Queen sent her to His Highness, and she was already rich to serve His Highness and verify her fertility.
It means ability, so although I blush, I am still ready to take action.
Peter coughed dryly and slightly raised the car curtains. The cold wind blowing in made Vorontsova wake up a little, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
What a great opportunity!
She will never give up to serve His Highness!
Peter gave instructions to Mirkovsky who was driving:
"Don't go back to the palace yet, go to the Academy of Sciences."
Mirkovsky was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky and replied: "Yes."
It was not easy to leave the palace, and Peter didn't want to just go back.
As the crown prince, while his aunt has not given up on him, the most important thing is his attitude towards the Orthodox Church and the nobility.
Opposing the Orthodox Church means opposing Russia. However, he has been baptized and changed his name. Although he had previously dismissed the Orthodox Church because he believed in Lutheranism like Sophia, the Patriarch criticized him and had always been indifferent to him, but fortunately
There is no conflict, so put it aside for now.
But that's not the case for nobles. What did he do in Vorontsova's estate?
He used Vorontsova's money to buy winter clothes for his serfs, and this fact could not be concealed.
Vorontsova represents the nobility, and serfs are serfs, so does he sympathize with the serfs but have a problem with the nobility?
Even if he only restricted one manor, even if he said it in front of the palace guards because he was considering the nobility, three people became a tiger. In a society where the big nobles and the small nobles are the ruling class, sympathizing with the serfs can only make the serfs feel grateful.
Apart from that, it cannot bring substantial benefits at this stage.
On the contrary, someone may make a fuss about it. If it is amplified and spread randomly, he who has no authority in the aristocratic circle will be even more hated.
So he's going to the Academy of Sciences!
In 1687, after Peter I took power, he changed his name to Mikhailov, and as a corporal, he went to Europe with the "Ambassador" to study advanced shipbuilding and navigation technologies in Western Europe. After returning home, he began to implement plans for external expansion.
But although Russia at that time had a vast territory, it had no outlet to the sea. The Swedes occupied Estonia and Livonia, blocking Russia's road to the Baltic Sea.
In order to have access to the sea, Russia formed a Grand Alliance with Norway, Denmark and other countries in 1700, and began the Northern War that lasted for 21 years. In order to report on this war, Peter I ordered the publication of Russia's first printed newspaper.
On January 2, 1703, this newspaper was published in Petersburg and Moscow under the title "News on Military and Other Events in the Kingdom of Moscow and Neighboring Countries Worth Knowing and Recording" (referred to as "News").
It was published regularly, and Peter I himself served as editor-in-chief at that time.
This was the first modern newspaper in Russia.
The circulation was only 200 copies at first, and later reached 4,000 copies. After the death of Peter the Great, the newspaper was sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1728, it was renamed "St. Petersburg News" and was published every Tuesday.
At the same time, the newspaper also added a supplement called "Monthly Notes on the History, Evolution and Geography of Gazeta", which was the first Russian magazine.
Peter felt that, just to be on the safe side, he needed to visit the Academy of Sciences, and it would be best to have this newspaper in his hands!
It's only the 18th century, and Russia doesn't have a clear understanding of the role of newspapers at all. They think news is news and serious reporting, and are completely unaware of the huge power in it.
Moreover, he just inspected Vorontsova's manor and obtained 6 attribute points. Then when he goes to the Academy of Sciences, will he also obtain attribute points?
If you can also get attribute points, what about other places?
During Peter I's time, he followed the West and established factories, theaters, libraries, museums, and printing offices. Although these places are very backward, can't they also obtain attribute points?
Peter was thinking beautifully. At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook, then stopped, and Mirkovsky's voice came from outside:
"Your Highness, the Guards are not letting us move forward. They are chasing us from behind."
Peter was slightly startled, Guards?
Then I lifted up the car curtain and saw a middle-aged man, and I suddenly understood everything.
The mysterious head of the office Ivanovich!
Ivanovich is Shuvalov's cousin.
If there were any important officials in the palace who were loyal to their aunt, Vorontsov and Shuvalov were among the first.
Vorontsov is now the Minister of General Affairs of the Privy Council. Shuvalov supported his aunt to take the throne when she launched a palace coup. He successively served as division commander, corps commander, artillery director, director of the weapons office, and then became field marshal. During the Seven Years' War,
played a huge role.
It can be said that these two people, one in domestic affairs and the other in the army, are the right-hand men of the royal family and have huge influence.
The half-bald man Ivanovich in front of him is Shuvalov's cousin. Excluding Shuvalov's influence, Ivanovich himself has successively served as the chief attendant of the palace, the attendant general, and the privy officer. Until now, the mysterious
The director of the office is dull and pedantic and doesn't like to talk much. His appearance is the exact opposite of his semi-bald appearance. He is ordinary and unobtrusive. He has a keen talent and interest in intelligence collection and is a trusted intelligence officer.
Few things in the palace can be hidden from him, but this does not mean that no one knows him. Many ministers know him, but few people know who will be his eyes and ears.
But when he appeared here, Peter understood that his journey outside the palace had come to an end.
And it is very likely that Ivanovich has been following him for a long time. Seeing that he has not returned to the palace yet, he wants to go another way, so he showed up.
Peter lowered the car curtain and said calmly:
"Go back to the palace."
Peter was so straightforward that Ivanovich was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, and the Guards dispersed and began to escort Peter.
In the carriage, Peter was lying on Vorontsova's lap. Vorontsova's face could not be seen from here, and he was lost in thought.
