Dmitry Milyutin is not the kind of person who is particularly troublesome and likes to tell stories. He is not particularly interested in the grievances between Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander. Even if His Royal Highness really has some freedom in St. Petersburg Pai Xuan is so wise, he doesn't mind helping him secretly.

It's just that no matter what he saw and heard in St. Petersburg, or what he saw after arriving in Chisinau, he felt that Grand Duke Constantine had a name, and it was better to meet him than to be famous.

So he really didn't want to hear a word of the nonsense that this person said, and his attitude became business-like. Even when he returned to the post where he was staying tonight, he would immediately report the matter to Crown Prince Alexander and remind the Crown Prince to give Duke Constantine a good beating.

Grand Duke Constantine was not surprised by Dmitry's indifference, but it would be hell if he was very enthusiastic. For him, as long as Dmitri does not cause trouble on official business, then let him go, so after handing over the official duties and exchanging a few casual greetings, he served tea to see off the guests.

As soon as Dmitry left, he immediately said to Viscount Prozolov: "This time the food is still not enough, so a little bit is not enough at all, and we have to find a way!"

The food problem made Grand Duke Constantine very anxious. Ever since he embezzled the damn food, he couldn't do anything smoothly. First, the outbreak of war became inevitable, and then Li Xiao secretly arranged a trick to make him pay attention to the food problem. , I have already sent a letter asking what is going on.

It's not easy to answer this letter, because if he dares to stick his neck out and say that there is no such thing, his father will never forgive him if something goes wrong afterwards. But if you tell the truth, it's tantamount to exposing yourself, and you won't get any favors.

In desperation, Grand Duke Constantine could only think of ways to fill the hole. On the one hand, he ordered those guys who had dealt with the food problem to bleed with him to bribe the Russian commanders who came from afar, and on the other hand, he also searched for food everywhere.

Grand Duke Constantine has ruthlessly plundered all the food on the market, forcibly "requisitioned" and "confiscated" a large number of folk food, and barely managed to gather enough food to continue to give army.

It’s just that the market is boiling. First, the Moldavian landowners and noble fryers whose food was confiscated cried and asked Grand Duke Constantine to give an explanation, otherwise they would go to St. Petersburg to sue.

Before Grandpa Constantine comforted these guys, the profiteers who heard the news started to drive up prices again. The price of food tripled in less than a week for three days a day.

Even if you have money, you can’t buy food, because under this trend, as long as you are not stupid, you will know the importance of hoarding food, and it will triple in just a few days. If you hoard it for a month, how many times can it be doubled!

As a result, the market in Moldavia was immediately in chaos. The common people didn't have much food in stock, and the price of food changed three times a day, which made them complain. But there is no food to buy here, which is even more scary.

For a while, there were all kinds of rumors in the market. Some said that war was about to start, some said that the grain was monopolized by the Russian army and private transactions were not allowed, and some simply said that the Russian army was scraping Moldavia. The land, suck the blood of the Moldavians, and call on the majority of Moldavian compatriots to fight with the Russian army!

These messy rumors are intensifying, even if the police and spies from the third department and Moldavia capture and kill a group of guys who spread the rumors, it will not help. As long as the people are hungry, these rumors will not be quelled.

What's more, there is no lack of truth in these rumors, such as scratching the ground, it is true. When the profiteers started hoarding, the group of people around Grand Duke Constantine, such as the leaders headed by Viscount Prozolov, immediately realized that the opportunity to make a fortune had arrived.

They colluded with the Moldavian dignitaries and monopolized almost 80% of the grain stocks, and they are waiting to double it several times to make a lot of money!

Isn't Viscount Prozolov aware of the risks?

Of course he knew that ordinary people who didn't have enough to eat would definitely make trouble, and if they were instigated by someone with a heart, it would not be uncommon to cause great changes. So smart as he is, why does he have such a big dog gall to run amok?

The reason is simple, he has nothing to fear!

Viscount Prozolov didn’t take the Moldavians seriously at all, let’s not say that those who are all in league with him are Moldavian dignitaries, but the Russian garrison stationed in Moldavia. Enough to hang unarmed hungry people. As long as these hungry people dare to make trouble, we will use guns and bayonets to keep them honest!

This is the idea of ​​Viscount Prozolov. In his opinion, the power of the common people is not worth mentioning, but they are inexhaustible leeks. How can such a good opportunity to cut leeks be missed now.

What's more, Viscount Prozolov has not yet eaten alone, and a considerable part of his profits have been used by him to bribe the Grand Duke Constantine and his cronies and servants around the Grand Duke Constantine.

It can be said that they are one body from top to bottom, and they really want to make money together and make a fortune together, which is very enjoyable!

It's just that it's hard to say whether such a happy and happy life is really suitable, whether it is good for Russia, or whether it makes others pleasing to the eye.

Dmitri, who stayed in Chisinau, was very disliked. He walked the market several times in the past few days. It's a volcano about to erupt.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, if the Grand Duke Constantine and his gang continue to mess around like this, then when the colder climate comes later, it will be the time for the Moldavians to break out.

Maybe Russia has to quell the Moldavian rebellion before it starts war with Turkey. As long as he is not cerebral palsy, he will know what the consequences will be. Anyway, he is really a little anxious.

At this time, his adjutant reported to him an even more unbelievable intelligence: "General, according to my observation and understanding, there is a huge problem in our army's combat readiness warehouse in Moldavia, and many officers have responded , the food we just handed over and delivered will soon disappear!"

Dmitry was surprised, and said in surprise: "Disappeared? How did it disappear?"

The adjutant replied in embarrassment: "It is said that the grain was transported away as soon as it arrived at the warehouse."

Dmitry was shocked again, and said in amazement: "Shipped away? Where did it go?"
