Chapter 64 Clear division of labor


Chapter 64 The division of labor is clear

Nikolai’s teachers include the British and the French. These two countries only fought with the Russian Empire twenty years ago. If they cultivate a wise man for Russia The Shenwu Crown Prince, then they will become sinners of Britain and France.

So in his memoirs, Lanson bluntly pointed out the problems that Nicholas had in his studies, but did not find a solution.

George sincerely hopes that Nicholas can grow up healthily.

This is also the basis and premise for the Tsar to give George limited trust.

"We have a clear division of labor, and we each do what we are best at." George did not ask Nicholas to sleep on the ice and climb in the snow with the Guards cavalry. Nicholas should play a greater role.

“What am I good at?” Nicholas looked confused. He really didn’t know what he was good at.

"As the crown prince of the empire, what you have to learn is to integrate all the resources you have to the greatest extent." George guided Nicholas according to his own understanding.

Nicholas does not need to know how to fight, he just needs to know who can fight.

Nicholas doesn’t need to make money, he just needs to know who will make money.

In the final analysis, what Nikola needs most is to know people well and leave technical matters to professionals.

“How to integrate?” Nicholas needs George’s patient guidance.

"Constantine is neither learned nor skilled. If he wants to win the competition between us, he must choose an excellent deputy. Go and find out who Constantine's deputy is -" George taught him step by step .

"No problem!" Nicholas was confident, he was the best informed, and this was indeed what he was good at.

“I will be responsible for the training of the troops, and Qin will be responsible for improving the morale of the troops——” George was also consolidating resources.

"How can I improve?" Nikolai became energetic. Can I do this job too?

“If you have nothing to do, go hang out in front of the soldiers. Even if you have just woken up, pretend to take time out of your busy schedule to visit them - find someone who is good at writing articles to help you write your speech. After memorizing it, give a speech in front of the soldiers - if you see someone's clothes are torn, give him a new set of clothes - give extra meals to the troops every three to five, and if the troops achieve good results, then allow them to have a drink - "The more George said, the brighter Nicholas's eyes became.

Nikolai has always been less confident, and his teachers rarely praise him.

Asan is busy with official duties and has no time to accompany Nicholas.

The queen was busy showing off her wealth, but her son really couldn't do anything about it.

Only here with George can Nicholas get a steady stream of praise.

"There is also the most important issue. I need absolute power and the best soldiers-" George will also take the initiative to create favorable conditions for himself. If he and Nicholas win, they can also provide General regiment brings honor.

"Leave this problem to me, I will go to the army commander and give you all the support you want!" Nicholas' confidence was completely inspired, and no one was willing to be ordinary.

Even if he is a crown prince, Nicholas hopes to become an excellent crown prince.

Then everyone takes responsibility.

Nicholas really needs someone like George to remind him at all times. That night, Nicholas rejected Peter's invitation.

Peter is also doing what he does best.

Peter is a master of atmosphere. When he first came to the Guards, he always had to prepare a greeting gift or something for his colleagues in the Guards.

So Peter prepared Nicholas’s favorite dance.

"This guy must be planning to use the dance to inquire about our news. I won't give him a chance!" Nicholas's execution ability is pretty good. He just went to see the uncle of the regiment commander, hoping to get some information about us in general. Select some outstanding soldiers within the regiment.

The standard of excellence here is definitely not who is tall or handsome. Nicholas needs soldiers with the best shooting scores, the best riding skills, the best physical strength, the bravest, and the most hard-working soldiers.

The uncle of the regiment commander accepted everything without any obstacles. He would give Nicholas whatever he wanted.

Nicholas did not want it in vain. He suggested holding a competition within the general regiment to select the soldiers with the best results. Nikolai would reward them with private funds, and then recruit the best soldiers into the 4th company. .

“I did the math and found that the total reward would cost about 10,000 rubles.” Nikolai is confident, he is also a person with an income now.

George had a salary, but Nicholas, the crown prince, had nothing, because the entire empire belonged to Nicholas.

Nicholas used to have to ask the Tsar or Queen for money, so Asan and Maria knew Nikolai's every move.

Now Nikolai and George are doing business together, and Nikolai earns about 300,000 rubles around Christmas alone.

The royal family's money is really easy to make. A bottle of champagne costs ten rubles, which is like picking it up for free.

Half of the money Nikola earned should be given to Georgi.

Georgi didn't get the money for nothing. Before and after Christmas, Georgi went to various princes' houses and brought orders for more than 50,000 bottles of St. Louis for George.

Constantine was taken advantage of. He was forced by Georgi to buy five thousand bottles of St. Louis, so he spoke unscrupulously.

Also forced to place an order, Peter remained silent.

How about someone kidnaps Yasan’s sixth princess?

“I will pay for this money.” George still had plenty of private money, so he didn’t feel bad spending it on Nicholas.

Anyway, no matter how much they spend, Nikolai and Georgi can help George double his earnings.

“No, I’ll do it!” Nicholas did not forget that his words made George spend an extra 90,000 rubles.

After such a long time, it’s time to get an idea of ​​what happened.

George decided to urge it if he had time. If the smokeless gunpowder was stabilized one day earlier, George would be able to make more money.

While George and Nicholas were thinking about spending money, little Nicholas was a guest at Gatchina Palace.

"Nikki is a good boy. He will definitely become an outstanding general." Little Nicholas was full of praise and said a lot of good things.

"The Guards are very important to the empire. We need a more powerful Guards." Ya San is even more worried about the combat effectiveness of the Guards.

Yasan knew the situation of the Guards, but he had no good solution.

A large number of aristocrats entered the Guards for gilding. It originally started from the royal family. Although Asan was the tsar, he was unable to change it.

During the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, Ya Er, who served as the commander-in-chief, in order to attribute "honor" to the royal family, appointed his two younger brothers Nikolai and Mikhail as commander-in-chief of the Danube Army respectively. , and Commander-in-Chief of the Caucasus Army.

This Nicholas is the father of little Nicholas.

For the sake of honor, Yaer could force his younger brother into the expeditionary force, and other nobles followed suit. As a result, the aristocratic group controlled a large number of senior positions in the Russian army, and those who were truly capable had no way to be promoted.

If this situation continues for a long time, it will be very detrimental to Russia.
