Chapter 229: Never Rest
Give to God what is God’s, and give to the Duke what is the Duke’s.
When you say Mass in the church, you can pray for God’s blessing.
When leaving the church, they must remember that everything they have in Vladivostok was given by George.
Changing religions was also normal in the Russian Empire.
Asan's queen, Maria, converted to Orthodox Christianity after marrying Asan.
Moving forward, the same goes for Ya Er’s queen.
So is it difficult to convert to Orthodoxy?
Even the queen can do this, so what qualifications does anyone else have to be special?
George is not targeting anyone. All new immigrants who become Russian citizens must do this.
"This will cause many people to leave Vladivostok."
Mikhail is worried that his understanding of religion is far less profound than George's.
“You mean that those pagans who were depressed in their hometown and became famous after coming to Vladivostok will return to the quagmire before because they converted to Orthodox Christianity?”
George doesn’t believe that religion has such a great influence on people.
As the old saying goes, those who have enough food and clothing know the honor and disgrace.
Going to church in rags to attend Mass is not respectful to God.
So fill your stomach first before you are qualified to pursue your spiritual needs.
“We don’t have to be so absolute, the key is guidance.”
Anna has been with Ekaterina for decades, and her relationship with her family has long been with her relatives. No different, the right to speak is naturally there.
“We can treat it differently. For example, when applying for a bank loan, if you are an Orthodox Christian, you can get the loan in the shortest time and get a lower interest rate. It will be more difficult for others to get the loan. , it will take longer.”
"Good idea! We can also widen the gap in salary and benefits, so that they will naturally know what to do."
Ekaterina agreed with Anna's proposal.
“Wouldn’t it be more dangerous to do this?”
Mikhail firmly opposed it.
George didn’t agree with it either.
This actually works.
But being so blatant from the official level will definitely arouse the resentment of many people.
Vladivostok is a city of immigrants.
A careless move can lead to serious consequences.
Even if the people of Vladivostok don’t want to do so much, they can’t resist the provocation.
"It will definitely not be said publicly at the official level, but this can become an unspoken rule in Vladivostok."
Ekaterina is really not as kind as she seems.
“Yes, we won’t say it, but we will do it and let everyone know that we will do it and the choice is theirs.”
Anna stayed in Yeka Having been around Jelena for decades, this kind of little trick is easy to come by.
George instantly looked at Anna and Ekaterina with admiration.
Feelings, all your intelligence and talents have been used in these intrigues, right?
Asking you to formulate a development strategy for Vladivostok, you have no clue and can’t find the key points at all.
He is very good at playing with people's hearts.
No wonder he can be so obsessed with the Tsar——
Well, you can’t say this, it’s too disrespectful to your mother.
"That's not impossible -"
Mikhail is obsessed with violence, not insidiousness.
This is not a sophisticated strategy. As long as he brings himself into it, Mikhail can feel the sinister intentions.
You are a new immigrant who has just arrived in Vladivostok. You have discovered a certain business opportunity and want to do business. When you go to the bank for a loan, you have been unable to get it approved.
At this time, someone reminds you that the reason why your loan was not approved is because you do not believe in the Orthodox Church.
You definitely don’t believe it. Go to the bank staff and ask. The bank staff swear that this is absolutely not the case. The bank can guarantee that everyone will be treated equally. Your loan was not approved because the approval process was not completed.
If you believe it, then go home and wait.
Half a year has passed. At the same time, the business of the Orthodox Christians who went to get loans has been booming, but your loan is still far away. Now you should wake up.
If you still don't wake up, then don't do any business, just find a job and move bricks.
Oh, if you go to move bricks, someone will remind you that if you join the Orthodox Church, the salary of moving bricks will be higher.
If you ask, they will definitely not admit it, and they will still treat everyone equally.
Then you actually learn about it and find that there is indeed a gap in salary.
What will you do at this time?
Mikhail left before finishing his meal.
I probably felt that it was too dangerous to be with Anna and Ekaterina.
George is not worried. Even if Ekaterina and Anna are good at playing with people's hearts, they will not use their tricks on George.
After dinner, Anna took Nana away and wanted to ask Nana some questions.
Ekaterina pulled George and kept asking questions.
“Oak Garden asked me to give it to Nikolai, and Nikolai gave me a bigger one——”
“The World Expo is very interesting, we can do it in a few years Make one.”
"I want to invest in automobile factories in the United States and increase cooperation with Americans. At least at this stage, the United States has no conflict of interest with us, and on many issues, our interests are consistent."
" Construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway will be fully started next year, and we will have to tighten our belts and live a hard life in the next few years."
Ekaterina listened with a smile most of the time. Interject occasionally.
“How bitter is it? Can you eat?”
"Well, that's not the case."
"That's no problem!"
Ye Luoxin only came to see George the next day, mainly to report on work.
"The Koreans are very useful, they can endure hardships, keep discipline, and obey orders. I want to replace all the Cossacks in the Fu Tuan with Koreans."
Ye Luoxin's thoughts on the Korean soldiers Highly rated.
"The Koreans can be used, but they are not useful."
George understands the Koreans better than Ye Luoxin.
Whether Korean is useful or not depends on whether there is a father.
Goryeo can indeed be used as a servant army, but it can only be used to fight with the wind, and basically has no independent fighting ability.
In other words, Goryeo can be a very good fox, but he will never become a tiger.
But this is in line with George's positioning of Korea.
If Gao Li has the potential to become a tiger, George should be cautious.
"I plan to transform the Fu regiment into a teaching regiment and expand the scale of Goryeo soldiers. We now need to deploy troops in more and more places, forts, Jeju, and engineering corps——"
George The commander-in-chief was running around all day long, and Ye Luoxin also had a lot of work.
“We need to increase our assistance to Aceh and send more bullets and explosives there.”
While George has priorities, Aceh's future is unclear.
George has received news that the East Indian colonial government is expanding its army in Batavia. The current peace can only last for half a year at most, and the East Indian colonial government will launch a new attack on Aceh.
This time the East Indian colonial government will be better prepared, send more troops, and the war will last longer.
Aceh is also accumulating strength. In order to improve Aceh's combat capabilities, when George left Aceh, he left Yankov in Aceh to train in combat.
The Aceh Servant Army has made great progress, and in half a year there will be at least 5,000 soldiers capable of undertaking combat missions.
The organizational structure of the Aceh Servant Army is similar to that of the East India Servant Army. The officers are all Russians, and morale is not a problem. The key is logistics.
After talking to Mikhail and Yeluoxin respectively, George went to see Milyutin.
Milyutin was very satisfied with the Amur. Compared with the Amur, the rest of the Russian Empire was as lifeless as a cemetery.
Milyugin also has different views on some of George's actions.
One of the most critical reasons why Yasan appointed Milyutin as the governor of Amur was that Milyutin had a greater influence on George.
Yasan hopes that Milyutin, at least in some aspects, can give George some restraint and not let George do whatever he wants in sports.
So George explained to Milyutin what the 16-character policy was.
"Sounds good, but how do you maintain the morale of the troops?"
Milyugin was the Minister of War and was more difficult to fool than San and Nikolai.
“With victory and honor, and practical benefits.”
George doesn't play tricks, and if he doesn't talk about benefits and only talks about contributions, he is acting like a hooligan.
East India is very large, with 1.91 million square kilometers and 17,000 islands.
In the Battle of Lansha, six Cossacks were killed and more than 20 were injured. The highest ranking officer was a warrant officer.
The families of each of the six Cossacks who died in the battle will receive about 100 acres of plantation in East India.
Injured soldiers also have their own rewards.
100 dessiatines is equivalent to approximately 1.09 square kilometers, 1600 municipal acres.
These lands are freehold and enough to support a family.
Since the families of these Cossacks are all in Vladivostok, these plantations are managed by the Lansha official, and the annual profits are transferred to the families of the fallen Cossacks in Vladivostok through the bank.
George demanded that the entire process must be open and transparent, and anyone can inquire.
As long as these plantations are controlled by Lansha officials, the families of the Cossacks who died in battle can enjoy these benefits permanently.
But if the Lansha Sultanate failed, these gains would naturally cease to exist.
So morale?
George is not worried about this problem at all.
In the 21st century, many people take desperate risks in order to let their families live a happy life.
Cossacks are originally monks. If they can use their own lives to find a permanent asset for their family.
Milyutin was worried that some Cossacks would die in battle.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this.
The fallen Cossacks received generous pensions.
The living Cossacks receive greater benefits.
The Lansha Sultanate currently controls only Aceh and Lansha. Although the area is large, it is full of virgin forests that are in urgent need of development.
Four Cossacks were permanently disabled during the Battle of Lansha.
These four men were all placed in Aceh as sheriffs or tax collectors.
Youdao is not as good as being in charge of the county magistrate now.
Sheriffs and tax collectors are lucrative positions no matter where they are, so isn’t it good to live there?
“Have you considered the British reaction?”
Milyutin is still worried that Britain is a hurdle that the Russian Empire can never get around.
"If the British dare to interfere in the war between Aceh and East India, then I will make Britain never have peace."
