I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 124 Bankruptcy caused by the war, the manor sees the envoy and sets up people [310]

This decision comes from the system and his own knowledge.

As for the system, he is still in a quadratic state at present, and the rewards mainly depend on the achievements of literature and fashion development, but he has a feeling in the dark that the rewards must be very important.

Maybe soap, glass, cement, etc.

Everything is a tool to make money.

Even if there is no system, he does not have much other knowledge, and steam engines and jenny looms can be made.

No matter what it is, the most important thing is to develop behind closed doors.

If the money foundation is not strong in the early stage, fighting is completely self-defeating.

Louis XIV was majestic, and the surrounding countries were screaming, but the militarism caused two financial bankruptcy during the Louis XV period. When Louis XVI was about to usher in the third bankruptcy, the revolution broke out.

It is also a powerful country.

The UK has always been the most indebted country in Europe, but its finances have never gone bankrupt, resulting in a very good credit rating, which in turn reduces the UK's financing costs.

From the Seven Years War to the American War of Independence, both Britain and France had debts of about 2.2 million pounds, but Britain only had to pay 700 million pounds a year in interest, while France had to pay 1400 million pounds in interest, because France had a low credit rating and could not pay double. If the interest rate is doubled, it is difficult to borrow. In the end, France died in this money-burning race.

By the time Napoleon was defeated in 1815, Britain was in debt of 8.2 million pounds, and the British Empire was still not bankrupt.

France: "TUI~! Brits are not human!"

And what will happen if Russia does not pay attention to finances?
During the Seven Years' War, Elizabeth, as the queen, borrowed 200 million from the Netherlands and did not borrow it from the Netherlands.

Going forward, from the late sixteenth century to the early seventeenth century, Spain and the Netherlands fought for decades. Spain threw more than 17 troops on the land of the Netherlands, causing the royal family to go bankrupt three times in a row.

In the 19th century, Africa was also very hardcore. The descendants of the Dutch ran to Africa and became African Boers.

The population of the Boers reached more than 19 at the end of the 20th century, which was similar to the population when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. He also had the ambition to establish a Boer African empire, and the Boer War broke out with Britain.

In 1899, the Boers even set off a big PK with the British, which caused the British Empire to vomit blood and even changed the British political system.

Also captured Churchill, yes, that Churchill.

The British army's fight in South Africa became more and more difficult. Like a red-eyed gambler, more than 40 troops were dispatched to Africa one after another.

The number of troops dispatched has exceeded the sum of the training and defense forces of the Qing army (the total force is more than 36, and the defense force is the main force, with 271212 people), which is more than six times the strength of the six Beiyang towns.

The Boers also carried out a general mobilization of the whole people, with a population of more than 20 people mobilizing nearly 80000 people (more than 78000 people).

As a result of the fierce battle, the British army still failed to win a major victory on the battlefield, and in the end a full 9 people were killed or injured.

Kitchener had to build barbed wire throughout South Africa (the inventor of the barbed wire became a local tyrant), built concentration camps, tortured and killed more than 2 Boers, old and weak, women and children, and finally paid the Boers 300 million pounds (equivalent to the third Indemnity for a war of crows), which was exchanged for the surrender of the Boers.

The British army burned a full 2.2 million pounds, that is, 15 billion taels of silver to settle the Boers. Because they burned too much money, the British Empire had to raise financing from the Morgan consortium. The achievements that France did not complete were almost completed by the Boers.

The impact of the war is evident.

Fighting an uncertain war without money is nonsense, but fighting an uncertain war with money becomes a game.

You can even hire other people's troops to expand your country's territory.

Money was so capricious in the eighteenth century.

So if the system gave him periodic rewards, which he expected, then it is imperative to lock the country.

After all, cement alone can be used not only in people's livelihood, but also in the military.

Let the horse-drawn horse that can be used for heavy cavalry be used in a small cement trailer, and drive a few eye-catching ones. It is not afraid of the projectiles of this era. Under the protection of cavalry and infantry, it is just like a tank.

And all other miscellaneous things have high confidentiality requirements.

That's why he decided to slowly eliminate the foreign troops among the officials. Taking into account the role of the steam engine and the textile machine, he can take Russia away.

And Peter didn't mean to disclose all this in advance, so it is naturally impossible for Bestutev to know.

At night, after a busy day, Vorontsov sent someone to invite Vivian.

With Vivienne's puzzled expression, Vorontsov said something softly. Vivian's expression was first surprised, then a little pale, and then began to blush again.

She whispered:

"It all depends on His Majesty's will."

Early the next morning, after getting out of bed and having a good time with Ekaterina, Peter called for Mirkovsky.

Milkowski has now been promoted to his herald.

"His Majesty."

Milkowski arrived.

Peter glanced at it and said with a smile:

"How's the arrangement going?"

Milkowski said:
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, and almost all the envoys from various countries have arrived."

Peter nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Mirkowski immediately led the security guards to lead the way.

Now that he was the emperor, no one would stop him if he wanted to leave the palace.

There are two famous Saltykovs in Russia, one is Sergei Saltykov and the other is Peter Saltykov. The former is a man who tried every means to hook up with the crown prince and is now in his grave.

The latter is 46 years old this year, participated in the Russo-Swedish war that took place three years ago and ended a year ago, and is now serving as the commander of the Ulan local militia.

In the future Seven Years' War, he will also become a field marshal. He defeated Frederick in the Battle of Kunersdorf and is an outstanding general of Russia.

It doesn't matter that the place Peter is going to is Peter Saltykov, it is Mrs. Sergei Saltykov's mansion.

Although there was a banquet after the enthronement, envoys from various countries have not been entertained alone. They must be very curious about their new monarch.

Moreover, Matrona Balk has been useless for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to show off his reassuring personality.

Sergey's mansion, located not far from the city center, is an asset of the Sergey family.

It's a manor.

Before Peter saw the envoys from various countries, Sergey's parents who came to welcome them were dumbfounded. On the vast grounds of the manor, His Majesty the Emperor directly let Matrona get into the car.

Then the car started shaking.

Sergey's father was Queen Elizabeth's adjutant, and his mother also served for the queen. Seeing this situation, he was not only not angry, but happy.

The two were about to watch out for His Majesty when they heard His Majesty's voice coming from the carriage:

"Go and meet the envoys. The spring is bright and beautiful, which makes people feel at ease. It's just time for the ambassadors to experience the scenery of nature."
