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

Chapter 139 The Huge Profits of Domestic Newspapers

Amid the respectful responses from the maids, Peter had almost reached the door, looked back, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Adelaide trusted her quite a bit, and she was completely naked now.

But I also saw that even the body has become rounded.

Like a little fat Scottish hen waving its white tender arms and clucking.

……

At this time, the group of them were not in the Troitz Monastery. Peter went to greet his aunt, chatted for a while, and returned to his palace.

After the meal, Peter received a group of members of the Privy Council.

He affirmed Vorontsov's work, and it was really much more secure in the palace without gunpowder.

Peter knew that this phenomenon was not unique to Russia, but also to France and England.

Large quantities of gunpowder were hidden at Versailles and St. James's Palace.

Can't help but slander, Louis XV and George II are not afraid of being bombed to the sky at night?
Vorontsov's report was simple, but Bestutev's report was long.

He even reported everything in detail.

Bestutev was excited, he was so happy now.

I used to report to Queen Elizabeth, and I didn't see each other for several months.

Now I reported to His Majesty every three days at the beginning, but His Majesty said it too frequently, so I changed it to report every seven days, and His Majesty finally stopped saying anything.

This has led to some matters that only His Majesty can decide can be decided quickly, and the efficiency is not known to be much higher than before.

After listening to Bestutev's report, Peter said:

"Prince Alexander Golitsyn's nephew asked for fiefs and serfs. Does he have military merit?"

Bestutev shook his head, "No."

"Then you still ask me what to do. During the period of Peter the Great, civilian military exploits were promoted to nobles, and isn't it a ready-made rule for nobles to be rewarded for their military exploits?"

Peter looked at Bestutev.

Bestutev couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. Now that His Majesty the Emperor is newly enthroned, no one expected this enthronement, which makes the current Russian nobles very strange.

In front of the emperor's ascension to the throne, there are no servants of the dragon.

Even Vorontsov, the father of His Majesty's maid, only began to show affection after His Majesty ascended the throne.

As a result, no one knew what His Majesty's attitude towards Feng Gong was, except for a few people who had a rough guess at the meeting last time.

Queen Elizabeth said that everyone who launched the coup d'état at that time was rewarded, but His Majesty had no reason to do it.

Some aristocrats heard about His Majesty's absurd temper, so they began to ask for the title with a few flattering words.

There are various reasons, such as having a fiefdom to serve His Majesty better, the ancestors were granted there before, please Your Majesty to reward them, and in the future they will definitely sacrifice their lives for His Majesty.

There are a lot of good words, and the nephew of Duke Golitsyn is the most important.

His attitude towards asking His Majesty for the fief actually seemed a bit arrogant in the letter, and he only pointed out that as an emperor who worshiped Frederick, he also had the same attitude, so he wanted to ask for the fief.

Bestutev couldn't help sneering, who is more ridiculous than Your Majesty?

Do they really think the emperor is fatuous?

it is ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, with your words, I am relieved, and the Privy Council will stop such things in the future."

Peter glanced at Bestutev, nodded and said:
"Let's do it this way, but for the rejection of Duke Golitsyn's nephew, give me a stern reprimand. What is his land in Russia? Chinese cabbage? He wants to walk half of the city as soon as he opens his mouth?"

"As for the name of scolding, it's up to you."

Bestutev froze for a moment, Peter looked serious.

The Golitsyn family is also a top aristocrat, the most famous being the appointment of Empress Anna.

At that time, Duke Golitsyn, who was then a first-class civil servant, and several other cabinet ministers closed the door to decide on the candidate for the throne. Anna, who was far away in Courland, was taken over, and Elizabeth was excluded from the list of candidates for emperor.

Although Empress Anna came to lead troops to surround the cabinet and tore up the agreement signed before becoming Empress, although it is not the time of Empress Anna, the family has survived many storms and is still standing.

Peter didn't want conflict just yet.

It doesn't make sense to let Bestutev decide even the matter of foreign relations.

Bestutev obviously understood His Majesty's meaning, his face trembled, and then he said:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Scolding Duke Golitsyn's nephew, it seems that he and Duke Golitsyn will inevitably confront each other in the future.

Vorontsov and Dalier were there when Peter gave Bestutev orders, and Vorontsov was very happy.

Although he is in charge of internal affairs, he is unwilling to offend the duke.

I didn't expect His Majesty to directly hand over this matter to Bestutev. His Majesty still treats him well. It is different to have a daughter by His Majesty's side.

Vorontsov secretly thanked His Majesty for not letting him deal with the matter.

Such a veteran aristocrat, it is better not to offend if he can not be offended.

Seeing that Vorontsov and Bestutev had nothing else to do for the time being, Peter looked at Dalier, who hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are free tomorrow. I would like to invite Your Majesty to visit the manor. It is about fashion."

Play and fashion?
Seeing Dalier's expression, Peter nodded happily.

At night, Peter was a little distressed. He knew that Voronzova was resting in the side hall, but he really couldn't do the thing of hugging left and right.

Caressing Ekaterina's back, Peter sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know your hard work until I started dealing with the newspaper. There are so many things for a newspaper, let alone a country."

Ekaterina lay in Peter's arms, raised her face and said.

Peter smiled and said:
"What happened, tell me."

Ekaterina laughed, tickled by Peter, moved her body and said:

"Your Majesty, as you have explained, newspaper outlets have begun to roll out across the country, but the ones in St. Petersburg and Moscow are relatively fast, and the farther you go, the slower it is in other places, but this is not a problem."

Then Ekaterina's eyes lit up, looking very excited:

"Your Majesty, guess how much we sold in just four days?"

Peter smiled and said, "I'm afraid there must be tens of millions of rubles."

Ekaterina's eyes widened. She wanted to take credit, but she was a little discouraged, and then she knew that His Majesty was teasing herself.

Ekaterina said unyieldingly:
"Your Majesty, how can there be tens of millions? Excluding other expenses, Moscow only has 33 rubles."

Even though it was nothing, Ekaterina looked proud.

Peter calculated in his mind that Moscow's population is now 560 million. Based on 35 rubles, a newspaper costs 10 kopecks. A total of 350 million people have bought newspapers, which is more than half, which is not bad.

And that's only for Moscow, and although the paper ran four editions in four days, it was still good.

This is a long-term business.

If Moscow earns 35 rubles in four days, how much does it earn in a month?
At least 245 million, what about the whole country?
According to the population of 1600 million and then multiplied by 4.5, 1102 million.

It's a month.

Ekaterina didn't know the specific population, but when Peter told the data, Ekaterina was stunned.

She jumped up excitedly.

Seeing Ekaterina's excited look, Peter was not calm anymore.

Not only because the wife has no clothes, but also because this month has exceeded the Queen's Fund.

So much money from the Queen's Fund was removed and saved for the five generations of nobles, and there is no such figure.

Only at this moment did Peter feel that his career was truly promising!
What can you do with money?
Water conservancy and the army want to do whatever they want!
