Although the righteous name is annoying, it is really useful sometimes. For example, if ordinary people or nobles clamor for reform in Russia, most of them will be thrown into Siberia as savages.

But Grand Duke Constantine is different. Not only has he been clamoring for reform, but he is also constantly jumping up and down for it. Although this guy's purpose is not that simple, but it is undeniable that if you join his team, at least you don't have to worry about being exiled because you want to reform.

Let's put it this way, Grand Duke Constantine is considered a banner of the reformers. Maybe not everyone in the reformers likes him as a grand duke, but most reformers admit that having him as a banner makes life easier for the reformers. few.

Of course, Alexei didn't want to take refuge with Grand Duke Constantine, because they still had a big difference of opinion with the Grand Duke. His purpose was to pretend to be a tiger or use the tiger's skin as a banner.

Why do Uvarov and his ilk keep staring at Wallachia, constantly looking for trouble? Isn’t it because Alexei doesn’t have a strong backer behind him, you see, he dared to touch Grand Duke Constantine’s tiger’s ass casually ? You must know that the grand duke has been advocating reforms all the time. According to the ability of hatred, he is much stronger than Alexei.

In fact, Uvarov was bullying and fearing the tough. He had nothing to do with Grand Duke Konstantin, but he was able to eat Alexei to death. Naturally, he squeezed the persimmon hard.

Although Alexei and Li Xiao were not afraid of Uvarov, as the old saying goes, they are not afraid of thieves, but they are afraid of thieves. What's more, how can there be a reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days?

If they could use Grand Duke Constantine's tiger skin, not to mention completely deterring Uvarov, at least it would prevent him from being so unscrupulous.

However, Grand Duke Constantine's tiger skin is not so easy to borrow. If Viscount Prozolov hadn't happened, Grand Duke Constantine would naturally ask for a lot of money, and he might even refuse to accept the bargain.

Alexei sometimes half-jokingly said to Li Xiao that his brother was simply here to send warmth!

Regarding Alexei's conditions, Grand Duke Constantine neither agreed immediately nor refused outright, and he was also weighing it.

Being very smart, he naturally knew that Alexei wanted to borrow his tiger skin for use. Objectively speaking, even if he borrowed it, it would be no big problem, because even if he didn't cover Alexei, he had to cover it. other reformers. Anyway, it's just those old and stubborn thorns in the flesh. Those who have too many lice and are not afraid of biting are just like him.

But, let him willingly protect the Alexis from the wind and rain, and he feels a little taken advantage of. After all, other reformists accepted his protection and recognized him as the eldest brother, but it is obvious that Alexei cannot recognize him. As the eldest brother, it seems that he is a bit taken advantage of!

So he decided to ask the specific conditions first: "How much economic assistance does Wallachia intend to provide to Moldavia, or what kind of technical support will it provide?"

Alexei naturally knew that this kind of question would definitely be asked, and he immediately threw out the minimum conditions: "Walachia will provide Moldavia with no less than one million rubles a year in the next five years." Interest-free loan, in addition, engineers will be dispatched to assist Moldavia in building railways and cable telegraph facilities..."

Is a million rubles a lot? Naturally, there are not many nobles like Grand Duke Constantine. When he came to Moldavia and took office, he asked for three million rubles from his father Nicholas I as an activity fund.

What can a mere one million be? Anyway, he thought the money was mosquito meat!

"That's too little!" Grand Duke Constantine snorted coldly, "At least two million a year, and what's the matter with the loan, can the aid be returned and interest charged?"

Grand Duke Constantine exposed the authenticity of the so-called assistance, but Alexei didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He replied very calmly: "Your Highness, this is quite a lot. As far as I know, you only brought three million rubles from St. Petersburg, but Wallachia provided you with five million rubles. This is more than what His Majesty gave you!"

Without waiting for Grand Duke Constantine to answer, he said: "As for charging a little interest, this is justified. You should know better than us what the virtues of Moldavian officials are. If you don't clarify the nature and nature of the money The stakes are high, those greedy pigs will ruin it in two days!"

Grand Duke Constantine blushed immediately, because what Alexei said was absolutely right, those bureaucrats in Moldavia were really not human beings, they were all greedy, and they were really plucking their hair out. Even if the dung bucket passes in front of your eyes, you have to try the saltiness.

Before coming to Bucharest, these guys asked him for an emergency fund, saying that it was used to pay salaries and bonuses to the Moldavian police and gendarmerie. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't open the pot. It's as if Grand Duke Constantine didn't give the money, and the counter-insurgency couldn't be carried out.

At that time, Grand Duke Constantine softened his heart, and he also had a little intention of buying people's hearts when the new official took office, so he allocated 300,000 rubles in the past. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the money disappeared completely. Afterwards he found out that the money was distributed to the police and gendarmerie in small fractions, and a huge part was distributed privately by the Moldavian bureaucrats.

This almost didn't make Grand Duke Constantine vomit blood, he definitely couldn't let it go, but when he was aggressively preparing to clean up a few people to make an example of others, he couldn't find any flaws in these bastards. It was perfect, and he sent people to wait for more than ten days, but there was nothing he could do.

The 300,000 rubles taught Grand Duke Constantine a profound lesson, letting him know how unreliable the locals of Moldavia are, and of course, the Russian garrison is also unreliable. In short, this group of people has colluded together up and down, trying to find fault with them-grandma!

And this is the most troublesome thing for Grand Duke Constantine. After all, he is an outsider, even if he is His Royal Highness, but no one can believe it, no one is available, and he is still struggling.

Anyway, as soon as he sees the faces of these disgusting bureaucrats recently, Grand Duke Constantine will get angry, but he really doesn't have so many talents who can replace all these guys. To put it bluntly, he has to rely on these bastards to maintain the stability of Moldavia, what do you call this!
