Everyone knows how rich the people of Longyan are now. Especially for Tsarist Russia, Longyan is way ahead of Tsarist Russia in terms of climate, geographical location, resources and wealth.
Menshikov is not an ordinary person. It is absolutely correct to call him the most powerful official in Tsarist Russia today. This guy who made a living selling pies when he was a child met Peter when he was fourteen. By chance
, Peter incorporated this "friend" into the Youth Corps as an artilleryman, and at the same time kept him by his side as an orderly.
From then on, Menshikov began his all-powerful life in Tsarist Russia.
certainly.
Menshikov must be capable, otherwise it would be impossible for him to soar up the power spectrum in Tsarist Russia and even become the governor of St. Petersburg! This was the center of power in Tsarist Russia at that time.
Later, when he led the army to fight, Menshikov also made many extraordinary achievements, and his achievements were all real.
However, his personal character makes him excessively vain and greedy.
Peter, who had endless yearning and greed for wealth and power, and who had once placed great trust in him, gave him a lot of headaches and warned him more than once.
But Menshikov, who was in a high position, relied on Peter's trust and connivance in him, and he acted against the will.
Especially the contracting of grain for Tsarist Russia - this was Tsarist Russia's most profitable business.
After that, Menshikov undoubtedly became the richest man in Tsarist Russia, and even the richest man in Europe. At his peak, he transferred five million rubles to European banks. You know, these five million rubles
The ruble is the total expenditure of Tsarist Russia in a year!
"Marshal, it seems that this Longyan businessman still doesn't want to give up our interests!"
The servant helped the gorgeously dressed Menshikov into the carriage and chuckled.
Menshikov sneered and said: "When the two countries are at war, you still don't forget to give me money! Hahahahahaha, Long Yanren, Long Yanren, you are much more greedy than what the world describes me as!"
Tsarist Russia is short of food. This is a problem that Tsarist Russia has been facing for many years.
The price of food in Tsarist Russia was already quite high when it reached the hands of the people.
Among them, there is naturally the exploitation and greed of various interest groups, and the one who controls the first-hand profits is naturally Menshikov.
Tsarist Russia has always relied on imports of food from Longyan. The agricultural technology of this era cannot allow Tsarist Russia to become the wheat exporter it was in the previous life. Some time ago, Menshikov was still worried. Now that the two countries are at war, the food problem can be
What should I do? Today, this Longyan businessman couldn't help but come to my door.
"Hahahaha, let's go!"
Suddenly, Menshikov became happy.
Return to your mansion.
Menshikov Palace, this was the palace he built for himself when he was responsible for supervising the construction of St. Petersburg. At that time, this aroused criticism from many people, so Menshikov was dragged into the workshop by Peter and violently
Beat him up.
But despite this, Peter tolerated him.
Peter's favor towards Menshikov is incomprehensible.
He even wrote to Menshikov: "Please, don't ruin your reputation for this small gain!".
From then on, Menshikov restrained himself a lot... no longer worried about petty profits, but began to put his ambitions on the most important food.
In the luxurious palace, Long Yanren with a humble expression was already waiting for him.
"Master Marshal, this is Qian Yonggui, a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Longyan!"
The servant introduced.
Qian Yonggui is a relatively thin middle-aged man. Hearing this, his face was respectful, and his followers immediately sent Menshikov a lot of gorgeous gift boxes.
"Hahahaha, welcome, welcome!"
As these gift boxes are opened, thousand-year-old ginseng, top-quality tea, fine wine and silk are all valuable hard goods in Tsarist Russia!
