Struggle in Russia

"Struggle in Tsarist Russia ()" Find the latest chapter!

The political arena is never clean, especially in Russia, which is dirtier than a cesspit. If you want to hang around here, you must not be obsessed with cleanliness. If you talk about being clean and proud, it is simply a way to kill.

Of course, this does not mean that the world must be as black as a crow, but it must be exactly the same as those bastards. You can have ideals and aspirations, and you can find ways to change all of this, but well, this has to be done step by step.

It cannot be said that you will fill up the cesspit as soon as you come up, and wipe out all the shit-stirring sticks inside. Then there is only one result, that is, you will be targeted by these shit-stirring sticks, and they will trample you to the bottom of the cesspit. , so that you will never turn over.

So you have to learn to disguise yourself. You have to pretend to be their kind first, let them relax their vigilance, and then you break them one by one. After you have the ability to not be trampled and suppressed by them, how to transform the cesspit can be put on the agenda.

Li Xiao patted Alexei on the shoulder and said: "If you come here and become outstanding, and make yourself a loner, as if you have to eat alone, then you, the governor, will definitely not last long!"

Alexei said distressedly: "Then do evil together with them, will you be in the same boat?"

Li Xiaoyou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course not. Let's make clear the priorities. The key things that cannot be compromised must be firmly in accordance with our wishes. Other interests that do not affect the above things can be prioritized." Give up, give it to them first to prevent them from messing with us in the first place!"

Alexei nodded half-understood, and then asked: "Then what is the main thing, and what is the secondary one?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "The most important thing is everything that you can secure the position of governor, and the second is the part of the reform project that you want to experiment in Wallachia, such as the emancipation of serfs, and the second thing is to forget about it." Don’t worry, you can let them go and let them do what they want!”

"Reform of the serf system?" Alexei's eyes widened. He felt his throat dry up and his heart beat faster. He swallowed and asked, "Isn't it a bit too hasty to do this as soon as I come up... It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm worried that the domestic opposition will make trouble..."

Li Xiao shook his head. This is what he thinks Alexei is naive. Minutes will be crushed by the opposition and there will be no dregs left.

However, if it is done in Wallachia, then the situation is different. Because it does not affect the interests of the diehards in the country at all, it is the diehards in Wallachia who are hurt. But can these guys still make trouble in St. Petersburg?

Let's put it this way, Nicholas I cared about the diehards in Russia, and was not interested in managing the life and death of the diehards in Wallachia. What's more, if Alexei followed his method, those top diehards in the country would be killed. Not only will Pai not object, but he may even applaud him and sing praises!

Alexei was shocked: "How is this possible! Instead, I am worried that they will think that Wallachia is a signal that hinders the reform of the serf system, and they will strongly oppose it!"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "So we have to dispel their doubts!"

Alexey was a little confused, and didn't know how to answer the question at all, but he was a good boy, so he just asked if he really didn't understand.

Li Xiao stretched out a finger, and said solemnly: "It's very simple, that is to share part of the profits from the reform of the serf system in Wallachia to them, and shut their mouths!"

Alexei frowned, because he felt awkward no matter what he heard, and he didn't like to share the dividends of the reform with the bastards who opposed the reform.

Li Xiao could only explain to him in detail: "My friend, you have to figure out one thing. Reform is an act of re-cutting the cake. How to cut the cake can make the reform go ahead, and how to cut it can be accepted by all parties.

It takes skill! "

"For example, now, we are carrying out the reform of the capital of the agricultural capital in Wallachia, which is to cut off the interests of the diehards in Wallachia and distribute them to more people. Obviously, the opposition in Wallachia will definitely not do it. Yes, this requires us to have strong means to restrain them, so that they can't resist nonsense!"

Alexei interrupted: "Isn't it enough that we have a strong military?"

Li Xiao snorted: "Of course not enough, because these troops listen to His Majesty in the final analysis. Only if His Majesty thinks your reforms are good, then the army will help you suppress everything. If His Majesty thinks your reforms are not good, what do you think?" Can you go on?"

Without waiting for Alexei to speak, Li Xiao continued to explain: "And how do you make His Majesty think that your reform is good? This requires someone in the country to speak up for you, especially those who have always opposed the reform. Good words! And how do you get them to say good things for you?"

Speaking of which, Li Xiao looked into Alexei's eyes and didn't give an answer, and the latter could only smile wryly and said: "Of course I can only buy them with money, share some benefits with them, and bribe them... But Doing so will harm the interests of the Wallachia serfs and cause them losses..."

Li Xiao yelled with hatred: "How can their interests be harmed? You have to think this way. If you don't do this, the reform will not be carried out. If you can't reform these serfs, you must maintain the lives of your ancestors. There will be a bright future! Now, with my method, the resistance and difficulties of reform have been eliminated, and their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Is this not good for them?"

This set of logical relationships made Alexei dizzy, and it took him a long time to straighten out the relationship, and suddenly lamented: "Although it makes sense, it still makes people feel awkward and unhappy!"

However, Li Xiao said: "Reform has never been possible to be happy. If everyone is happy, is there still a need for reform? Reform means that the change is not happy, and it is the result of pursuing a happy life in the future in the process of being unhappy. If you are obsessed with happiness, Don’t do it long ago, it’s impossible to make you happy!”

Alexei stopped talking immediately, not because he was persuaded by Li Xiao, but because he left Li Xiao's reform plan, and he couldn't come up with an effective solution himself. He remembered that his old father once said to him: "When doing things, it is better to move forward than to go backward and stand still."

After being silent for a long time, he sighed reluctantly: "Well, I don't have a better plan! Then do what you said first! But how should we do it?"
