Chapter 228 Thanks to Super Duke Yurievsky
After walking into the Yuriev Palace, George found out that Ekaterina frantically changed all the security personnel inside the Yuriev Palace. As a woman, even the cat that catches mice is female.
George knew that there was an all-female guard beside Catherine.
There is no other way.
Ekaterina and her three sisters are all women, and Anna is also a woman. It is indeed inconvenient for men.
Although the guards arranged by the Tsar for the three Catherines were all Cossacks, Anna organized an all-female guard to be responsible for the personal security of the three Catherines.
The aesthetics of Ekaterina and Anna are online. The women of Ekaterina's guard are not only strong in ability, but also have certain requirements for appearance and figure.
Not to mention the Korean maid sent by Concubine Min, there was a girl who looked very much like Nana, which instantly attracted George's attention.
Don’t get me wrong, there is no other meaning, it’s just appreciation.
But George's appreciation had some special meaning in the eyes of Ekaterina.
Haha, the men in the Romanov family are really not good at all!
George didn’t know yet that this girl, also named Nana, was about to become his personal maid.
“Everything about the Yuriev Palace is good, but it’s too big and too deserted——”
Ekaterina obviously meant something.
George didn’t say anything and went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. He was too tired on the way.
Mikhail and Milyutin also knew that George needed to rest, so they sent George to Yuriev Palace and left.
So George woke up and found that it was already night.
Nana, covered in white sand, curled up at George’s feet.
As soon as George moved, Nana was awakened. She immediately jumped up and knelt down on the floor beside George's bed, waiting for George's instructions.
Although the lights were not turned on in the bedroom, there was still light shining into the room through the white window screen. This should be the reflection of the snow.
The heating was fully turned on, and the room was as warm as spring. Nana's clothes were cover-up, which was more tempting than not wearing them at all. I don't know who studied how to wear them.
“Aren’t you cold?”
George still adjusted his posture.
Pretty or not, it doesn’t matter, because the girls in Yuriev Palace are all beautiful.
The key is this kind of softness that is submissive and allows you to do anything you want, which can really inspire men's desire to conquer.
Nana shook her head slightly, and her slender neck with a hint of down began to turn red. Her body must be too sensitive.
“How old are you?”
George is no saint.
Not even a beast.
“16——”
Nana’s voice is softer than a mosquito’s.
Okay, George doesn't care whether the age of 16 is already qualified to be a mother in the Far East.
It definitely won’t work here in George anyway.
In the small living room on the second floor, Ekaterina is reading financial reports with Anna.
Anna is still Catherine's housekeeper, and Anna is also managing part of George's finances.
But Anna also serves as the president of the Siberian Bank, because the Siberian Bank itself was invested by George and Ekaterina.
“This year’s business is not very good, and the remaining money is not as much as last year.”
Ekaterina is not very happy. There are only two things that are important to her now. .
One is to make money.
One is to have a grandchild.
In her spare time, Ekaterina would focus on the medical and educational undertakings in Vladivostok.
Well, by the way, let’s study some food, design beautiful clothes and so on.
“This year’s investment is too big. Factories are expanding, railways are being built, and banks have to lend money. However, there should be income before the end of the year.”
Privately, Anna is called Grandma, the God of Wealth in Vladivostok.
Anna has never been married and is the person Ekaterina trusts most. Large expenditures on George's side require Anna's signature to take effect.
Ekaterina and George are making more and more money, and Anna alone will definitely not be able to manage it.
Anna has a professional financial team of more than 50 people to assist Anna in handling financial issues for Ekaterina and George.
This is only the private financial team of the Yuriev Palace, and does not include the accountant team of the Siberian Bank.
"George, you're awake-"
When Yekaterina saw George coming out, she immediately jumped up from the sofa.
Then seeing Nana walking as usual behind George, Ekaterina's expression turned ugly instantly.
Is this because I didn’t like it, or——
No matter which one, you deserve to die!
Although Ekaterina is usually very kind to everyone, when it comes to George, Ekaterina immediately transforms into a female tyrannosaurus.
“I’m only 16 years old, what are you doing?”
George was very dissatisfied with Ekaterina's arrangement. Yasan knew not to let Nicholas get involved in love affairs too early, and George should be more restrained.
Youdao is a teenager who does what he does when he is old. Many members of the Russian Empire's aristocracy were drained of their bodies by drinking and sex at a young age, and died in their twenties and thirties. George did not want to see tragedy befall him.
“What’s wrong with being 16! I was taken back to the Winter Palace by someone when I was 16, and your eldest brother was 16——”
Ekaterina opened her mouth to expose the Romanov family Lao Di.
“I’m hungry——”
George knew how to deal with Catherine.
"Anna, pass the meal——"
Ekaterina showed off her empress dowager style and did not forget to establish George's prestige.
"Olga and Xiaoye, why don't you come to meet their brother."
"Olga and Xiaoye are still in class."
Anna is elegant and calm, and is a good learning partner for Nana.
George sat down next to Catherine.
The sofa is very spacious, and George is a little far away from Ekaterina.
Ekaterina did not shy away and ran over directly to hold George's arm.
"I heard that you made a big splash in St. Petersburg and kicked the Dutch and British butts. Tell me about it." Ekaterina was not worried at all that this would bring trouble to George. It's dangerous, all I can think about is how powerful my son is.
"Nothing, I want to get a place from East India to grow something."
George said it lightly.
“The coffee in East India is good——”
Ekaterina was easily diverted by George.
"It's just that the way it's made is a bit disgusting."
"Is the coffee really made from cat excrement?"
"It seems so."
"Uh, the Netherlands People are so disgusting!”
Listening to what the two women were discussing, Anna couldn’t help but roll her eyes in a very unladylike way.
In the 18th century, the Dutch began to grow coffee in East India and banned locals from picking it.
Locals accidentally discovered that civet cats in East India like to eat coffee beans and will excrete them intact.
So the locals collected the feces of the coffee cats and made the famous cat poop coffee.
I won’t tell you whether it tastes good or not.
As far as the source of the raw materials is concerned, let’s just say it’s disgusting or not.
Mikhail arrived at the right time, just in time for dinner.
The food at Yuriev Palace is relatively famous, and Mikhail was not polite and sat down directly at the dining table to chat while eating.
"Americans are really rich. Yakov helped us raise 15 million US dollars from the United States, and there will be 15 million more next year."
The relationship between Mikhail and Schiff seems to be very good .
This is normal. Hebrews are very good at dealing with people.
A lot of people working in the Bank of Siberia were Hebrews because they were really good at lending money.
George subconsciously paid more attention to this issue.
In another time and space, the Hebrew autonomous state seemed to be right next to Amur.
This autonomous prefecture has not yet been established.
“Americans are bad, I don’t like Americans.”
Catherine had a bad opinion of Americans.
"The Americans once asked to send someone to supervise the use of the money, but I refused."
Anna also dislikes Americans.
"You are biased against Americans. In fact, I think Americans are not bad."
Mikhail couldn't help but defend Schiff.
"Misha, you have to pay attention. Americans are not as good as you think."
George reminded Mikhail to be careful not to get too close to Shiv.
George is not sure what Schiff's purpose is now.
But George can be sure that Schiff is so active in helping George raise funds for more than just the interest.
The interest that Schiff raised for George was not as high as a loan from a bank.
In other words, George can completely lend out the loans obtained from the United States through the Siberian Bank, and the profit will not be low.
“If they dare to harbor evil intentions, I will kill them all!”
Mikhail hates betrayal. In all the information leak cases in Vladivostok this year, all the people involved were sentenced to death, even if the circumstances were serious. Not serious.
"They are in the United States, how do you kill them?"
Ekaterina is dissatisfied with Mikhail's frequent shouting and killing. It is better to prevent in advance than to make up for it afterwards.
"What's so difficult about this? I can send people to the United States. Even if they hide in Whitehall, I can find them."
Mikhail is obsessed with violence.
When George heard this, his heart moved.
This seems to be possible, but it’s not impossible.
George doesn't like violence either.
But sometimes we have to admit that violence is the best way to solve problems.
For example, the Sultan of Aceh.
To be honest, he is the orthodox Acehian, while Li Sha is purely wild.
So it is difficult to solve this problem through normal channels at this time.
How can we solve this problem at the lowest cost?
Send people to kill all the other sultans, leaving only Lisha as the sultan, and the problem will be solved.
“How many churches are there in Vladivostok now?”
George took a different approach.
“That’s too much.”
Mikhail didn’t know either, mainly because he had never paid attention to this issue before.
"In the future, there will only be one Orthodox church in Amur."
George is politically correct. The state religion of the Russian Empire is the Orthodox Church. Even if the Tsar comes to Vladivostok, he must praise George for his firm stance.
“This——”
Mikhail was surprised that George had never cared about this issue before.
“Many problems are caused by religion. If you cannot accept this, you can leave.”
George knew all too well what religion was about.
Don’t listen to those people in the 21st century who shout loudly and cannot fill their stomachs. What is the most important?
Feeding your stomach is the most important thing!
In Vladivostok, when municipal staff distribute supplies to new immigrants, anyone who dares to say "Thank God" will be immediately disqualified from the distribution.
"Thanks Yurievsky Super Duke" is the correct answer.
