"Sir, there is really no problem..."
Osilev has inspected this batch of military rations countless times.
no problem?
He is not very willing, and he does not believe it very much!
After all, he knew that these two Longyan people were not good people at all.
He has always been in contact with Qian and his son.
But regarding the issue of military rations, the father and son did not tell him anything. Of course, there were no problems with the father and son in the previous grain trade. But this time it's different...this time it's two million stones! And all of them are military rations and will be shipped to the war front line soon! Osilev knew that if there was any problem with this batch of military rations, Tsarist Russia would be in dire straits.
So he was cautious.
However, he could find no evidence.
This batch of military rations is indeed of very good quality.
And in the toxicity test, a lot of random checks have been carried out. And it was so important that he tested it directly on real people! As a result, there was still no problem, these people were alive and kicking.
Of course what he doesn't know is...
This is a new type of chemical poison developed by Liangzhou. And it is a chronic poison. Liangzhou has grasped the dosage and time to a very detailed level.
"Damn it!"
Osilev knew in his heart that there must be something behind this transaction, but he just couldn't find it out. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Hahahaha! Lord Osilev, what's going on? You haven't slept for three days, right? Oh, it's really hard!"
At the door of the granary, a group of people walked in.
When Osilev heard this voice, he knew who this person was.
Menshikov!
Menshikov was still dressed in gorgeous clothes, still drunk, still looked arrogant, and still had a group of followers. Among the followers, the Qian family and his son were prominently among them.
Osilev's eyes flashed: "Mr. Menshikov, this is my responsibility. It's not hard work at all."
Menshikov snorted coldly: "Mr. Osilev, the army rations are tight on the front line, but they have been waiting for us to send them over! You must know that if you waste a day here, there will be many soldiers on the front line who cannot eat. Let’s eat! Huh, I think you are a collaborator with the enemy and treason, and you are deliberately blocking our food and grass!”
As soon as these words came out, a bunch of scoundrels began to attack Osilev.
"you……"
Osilev almost vomited blood.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
Is he a traitor to the enemy?
How can it be!
"What, Mr. Osilev, what do you want to refute? Since there is no problem with this army ration, you have been keeping it here and not sending it to the front line... Oh, I understand, because our General Rumyantsev and Osilev originally Sir, there are some differences in political opinions..."
Menshikov laughed.
"You, you, you, you fart!"
Osilev wanted to slap Menshikov on the face!
The bad guys complain first!
This is definitely the evil person who complained first!
No one in Tsarist Russia knew that Menshikov was once the governor-general of Kiev, and then Rumyantsev also became the governor-general of Kiev. These two people are the real political opponents. Osilev also impeached Rumyantsev, but this is a normal procedure, and the two people have no personal prejudices at all.
Menshikov said this deliberately to provoke him!
"Master Osilev, as we all know, you are an upright person, but it is indeed a bit too much to make our soldiers on the front line suffer because of your integrity."
Menshikov personally came to put pressure today because he was worried about what evidence this so-called committee would have about him.
Although he is not afraid of impeachment, if there are too many, Peter will have great opinions on him.
For this order, his profit will not be mentioned, so he does not allow anyone to mess up his affairs.
"The emperor is here!"
Just then, someone shouted outside.
emperor?
Peter the Great?
Upon hearing this, a group of people quickly stood around respectfully.
as expected.
Peter the Great, accompanied by Catherine, came over.
He looked first at Menshikov, then at Osilev.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
He knew that the fight between these two people had recently aroused a lot of discussion within Tsarist Russia. He couldn't help but sigh deeply. Brother Menshikov was doing more and more too much. He kept warning, kept warning, but he still couldn't stop his greed.
So this time, he came in person.
"I'm quite relieved that both adults are here. It seems that everyone knows that the military rations this time are of great importance."
Peter chuckled.
The two people quickly bowed respectfully.
Menshikov said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this army ration is what the Longyan people say, use the other's spear to attack the other's shield! Hahahaha! When we win a complete victory, the Longyan people will I found out that it was they themselves who had the problem!”
As soon as these words came out, those losers also praised him one after another.
He admired Menshikov's strategy and was astonished that he was a man of heaven, a man of great talent and great strategy, and a man of great valor and bravery.
The corners of Osilev's mouth began to twitch when he heard this.
Peter chuckled, nodded, and looked at Osilev: "Master Osilev, what do you think?"
Osilev sighed: "Your Majesty, after three days of inspection, there is indeed nothing wrong with this batch of military rations. And the quality is all of high quality..."
Peter pondered: "Can we send it to the front line? That guy Rumyantsev writes letters every day! Eight letters a day, I can't stand it anymore!"
"this……"
Osilev must be unhappy in his heart.
But he couldn't find any reason to refute this matter.
Peter seemed to have lost his patience and waved his hand: "Send it to the front line! As long as the battle situation eases this time, Osilev will be credited with a great credit!"
Menshikov said excitedly: "Why don't you thank Your Majesty quickly!"
Osilev cried out sadly in his heart. He had no choice but to thank him respectfully.
Peter the Great then turned and left.
Menshikov quickly followed behind.
Ekaterina beside Peter sighed slightly and glanced at Menshikov angrily. The latter smiled, as if to say, as long as you are here, in the whole of Tsarist Russia, who am I afraid of?
"Menshikov..."
Entering Peter's carriage together, Peter the Great looked over slowly.
"His Majesty……"
Facing Peter, Menshikov still did not dare to be presumptuous.
Peter the Great smiled coldly: "There are some things that you still have to pay attention to..."
Menshikov immediately made various assurances, as before.
Peter shook his head: "It's very tiring to be in charge of a country. The higher the position, the more things you have to do. Menshikov, one person can't make all the money."
"What?"
When Menshikov heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Peter in disbelief.
This was the first time Peter had told himself this.
It’s so straightforward to discuss the issue of getting rich.
Peter smiled bitterly.
In fact, he also knows the current national conditions of Tsarist Russia. When he was young, he came back from studying in Europe. He naturally knew that economy and business would become the biggest factors in determining a country's national strength in the future. He also knew that in powerful Britain, businessmen began to slowly take power. Almost half of the people in the Parliament were businessmen, squires, and capitalists from all walks of life.
capitalist.
No benefit, no early morning.
In the future, countries must develop in this direction.
The same is true for Tsarist Russia.
While Peter was still alive, he could suppress these people. But what happens after he dies?
In his heart, he hopes that Britain can enter the orbit of Britain. Then, these businessmen, these oligarchs, and these country squires are the people he needs to consider.
And the current Tsarist Russia is not healthy.
The overall situation is unhealthy.
Menshikov, in this regard, already has a feeling of monopoly.
No one can challenge Menshikov in this regard. Naturally, this will create many political enemies for Menshikov. Although these political opponents will not break out for the time being, and will even compliment Menshikov, but again, what if he dies?
Peter thought about it a lot.
He is called a hero of the generation, naturally because of his foresight.
He once put himself in Menshikov's position.
When you are really dead...
Namenshikov has only two options to choose from. One is to leave Tsarist Russia with the wealth that he has been squandering for several lifetimes. Peter could not accept this. He did not want Tsarist Russia's wealth to flow out. Second, he rebelled and became the emperor of Tsarist Russia... Peter would naturally not accept this. Although he was his brother, he certainly could not be the emperor of Tsarist Russia.
so.
No matter what, if Menshikov continues like this, it will definitely be a dead end.
So he came in person today with the intention of admonishing Menshikov.
Money cannot be earned by one person.
He was advising Menshikov that the huge profits from this military ration order could be distributed to those political opponents as appropriate.
In this way, Menshikov will not become a real "oligarch" in terms of his position.
Many people will support him.
This situation has precedent in Long Yan.
Then Liu Zheng, isn’t it?
This boy is now the most powerful person in Long Yan. He is also very profitable, and he, too, ignores the imperial power, but he can still make a living in Long Yan. Why?
Because he is willing to give up his own interests instead of holding them with one hand.
so.
Peter had already finished his words today, and he also knew that Menshikov was a smart man.
He can understand himself.
But whether he will do this will determine his own destiny in the future.
Menshikov naturally stirred up a storm in his heart because of Peter's words.
What does it mean?
Are you warning yourself?
Or are you giving yourself an ultimatum?
this……
Has the matter gotten to this serious level?
He didn't quite believe it, but he had to believe it.
For a moment, he was also a little confused.
