Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

The Duke of Clarence has his own things to do, and Solovyov always has serious things to do.

He thought of the Irish, and probably could not forget the great shortcomings and virtues of the British, who were able to separate an island so close to them, and Britain had not yet declined at that time.

After that, it was even more of a Su Wei Ai thing, and he always felt like he was going to tear England apart.

If you want to get a direct impression of this place, just look at Ireland. It was very clear when Solovyov took Mihrima through the streets of Dublin.

"Master, this place looks even worse than the countryside where Madam took us."

"Do you think so?"

"Yes, when you were away at the war, we went to the vicinity of Vyborg, to the place of your ladyship's relatives, and it looked much cleaner and more beautiful than here."

"This is a city after all, and it's considered an important place on the island. Other places might be worse, but the beer is good."

"Master, you must know that according to doctrine, I cannot drink. It is because I serve you that I am in such public."

"Girl, other people don't know your beliefs either."

For Mihlima, things like fermented barley juice and fermented grape juice were not something she could use casually. Although she was unexpectedly taken in by Solovyov when she was still a teenager and had to change her clothes to live in Russia, she still kept some of her original habits.

Speaking of which, this girl has really long legs, which can be seen from the proportion of her waist and skirt.

With such a beautiful figure, it’s no wonder that Katya likes this domestic maid the most, even though she has a newly hired maid. After the previous maids who came with her as dowry got married, she always kept her by her side.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

"Girl, you look better than before."

Speaking of which, the relationship between them as master and servant is always so subtle. When Katya sent her here, Solovyov didn't understand what the word "wife" meant.

"I am here with you, my master, and I am here to serve you, but I will do it according to your instructions."

"Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed."

There was a huge age gap between her and him, and he couldn't raise her like he did Adela, with the same standards for raising a younger sister, even though the family did have a younger sister born to her stepmother, so that the last daughter the father had in his old age was younger than his own daughter.

But the difference is indeed quite big, and Solovyov can't even ignore the gap. If he lets her become a housekeeper in the future, then he will really have to follow the Duke of Clarence's words.

The status of a housekeeper in Russia often meant that she was also the mistress of the male owner, or in a higher position, a partner or concubine. In this regard, this was often the case in Europe when some great nobles lived with housekeepers or governesses of lower birth.

This girl's loyalty to me is complete and utter.

The two continued walking on the streets of Dublin. Looking at the situation here, Mihlima sighed more than Solovyov.

“Whether in Belgrade or when I accompanied you in Sofia and Greece, I never saw such poor people. Many people didn’t even have shoes.”

Fortunately, we are not in ancient Egypt, otherwise we might not even have clothes.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, Master. This place doesn't look as good as Belgrade. By your standards, those masters are probably lazy. But... Master, the masters here are probably worse."

"Good girl, you are quite venomous."

Solovyov wanted to pat her on the head, but he also realized one thing: she was a grown-up girl, and he couldn't treat her like a child anymore.

As for Ireland's tax rates, the King of London is really a tax lord, especially when he is not crazy. The tax rates eventually became more and more unreasonable.

Ireland is in its current state because it is too close to Britain, which has resulted in several unsuccessful rebellions, and the leaders were either exiled to Australia or fled to the United States and France.

The Scots used to support the Jacobites, the direct Catholic descendants of James II, and many of them also fled to Europe.

The Barclays were probably the first family to arrive in Europe, even before the fall of the Jacobites.

Later came Lacy, MacDonald, and McMahon.
Maybe even MacArthur.
After all, anything related to Scotland always has a Mike in its name, even including animated characters, such as Donald Duck's rival Mike the Wolf (wrong) and Donald Duck's uncle Scrooge McDuck.

Those who are related to the Irish always have an "O" in their names. I hope Idi Amin doesn't get angry when he sees someone with the last name "O".

Those people in England are so inhumane.

Solovyov watched on the street and had a lot of ideas in his mind.

If I could immigrate a group of Irish people to Russia, or to places where there is a need, it would probably be much better than the possible famine here in the future.

You can ask Old Deng about the hatred the Irish have for Queen Elizabeth II. When his mother found out that the hotel suite he stayed in was the one that the Queen of England had stayed in, she would rather sleep on the carpet than on the bed.

As for someone who is extremely happy, that may be another matter. After all, he became rich earlier than other Irish people, and was the first to escape from the embarrassing situation of competing with Italians on the same track.

These people are good anti-British materials no matter where they are.

Even if they went to Zhenjiang, even the Eight Banners masters who killed their own wives and children would be shocked. Would they risk their lives so desperately for the emperor's salary?

Of course, Dai Qingna had to accept these people.

But what to do, Solovyov was still thinking as he lay in bed.

It's just that Mihrima was singing while she was bathing inside, which was really...
What is this girl thinking? After all, there is a big age gap between them and the generation gap is there. It is okay to understand Katya to Anna's age, but it is not so easy for Mihrima who is younger.

But there is no need to expect her to be like those noble ladies who seduced Alexander in the past. That's it.

But she was brought over from Serbia by Soloviev, and her father was an official or possibly a high-ranking officer in the Ottoman Empire.
Thinking of the Turks, the Sultan was more considerate to the Irish than Victoria, although that happened thirty years later.

If the British cabinet and the queen are both immoral, then they are truly invincible. It would be best if the queen's possible existence could be blocked, so that she might not even have the chance to become liquid.

Although the easiest way is to kill the Duke of Kent, this trick is probably the most useless.

Because the British Prime Minister is still the British Prime Minister, the cabinet is still the cabinet, and the parliament is the same, except that the Speaker does not always have to use various accents to shout "order", or the only way for outsiders to understand the operation of the parliament is to watch from the side, but now only a few people can enter.

As for now, the Irish are also living in dire straits. With that tax rate, even the most unscrupulous tax farmers in continental Europe would probably not be able to stand it. They are really squeezing the land so hard that sparks are about to fly.

In such a dire situation, one can only say that the British are not human beings. Moreover, the few kings who were willing to improve the environment of Catholics and Irish people happened to have very short reigns, or were too old when they succeeded to the throne, and had no ability to change the status quo.

Solovyov also felt that the Irish were a good labor force and would be of great use in the future.

As long as it is not in some English-speaking place, you can probably get your own land, take your wife there to start a family, and if you don't have a wife, you can marry one locally.
It's not necessary to buy an Irishman under the sleepers. In comparison, Solovyov used to think that his boss and his family might be more cruel, but compared to some people, it's really nothing.

As for the plan
Solovyov lit the candle a little brighter and began to write.

Even Mihrima's singing while continuing to bathe there did not interfere with his efforts to formulate a preliminary plan.

Although Solovyov's temperament would probably not change even if he turned into ashes, if he worked seriously, nothing could stop him.

According to his idea, the Irish should not only be sent to southern Russia, but also to other places, such as the west coast of North America and the islands that might be obtained at the Vienna Conference. If these places have tax-free agriculture and low taxes on commerce, they will probably be able to attract people soon.

These places may be better than Ireland, where potatoes are needed to feed more people.

In addition, it also includes clearing.

Solovyov had no feelings towards the Ming and Qing dynasties, but in order to trick Britain, he could think of any tricks.

If the Qing Dynasty could absorb some of the "Red Barbarians", it would probably be useful.

But this work will probably be done when I go on a diplomatic mission in the future. As for how to do it specifically, that is another matter.

Since he could torture people on the battlefield, he could actually do the same in the officialdom, and he could do a lot of things.

As for the British, they had people like John Staunton who were very familiar with China and even had a relatively friendly attitude towards China before 1830, but their inherent arrogance still made them mess up in the end.

But there was probably no Napoleon to mock them. Solovyov could estimate that his actions would probably start at the same time as the Amherst Mission in history, but the gap in level between the two sides was also extremely large.

The first one was probably the plan of the self-employed farmers.

Serfdom is backward, but there are ways to change it from the bottom-up design.

First, the self-cultivating farmers had their own land, and the lower-level serfs also got land, but the serf landlords
There was a lot of resistance against it, but probably Russia's biggest advantage was its vast territory. In the south, many places along the Volga River were actually suitable for farming. If they could migrate to warmer areas and use gradual industrialization and upgrading to force the serf owners to do something, it would not be completely impossible.

But the territory is vast and transportation is also a problem.

Solovyov's overall idea was to move Russia's center of gravity to the south. Although the location of St. Petersburg was good for controlling the north, it could not actually solve any problems.

If Russia's maritime issue is to be completely resolved, from a geographical point of view, it must move south.

The more Solovyov thought about, the more things he had to do, and it was obvious that he could not do everything by himself.

Some of these words cannot be spoken outside of Russia. Only after returning can a final plan be formed.

Even his own brewery business is probably not that important. After all, many industries in Dublin have begun to depreciate due to the war. The purchase price of the brewery, according to the price Solovyov knew in London, is now estimated to be higher than the market price.

You don’t have to worry too much about this in the future.

However, he wanted to buy a series of breweries because he saw that this type of alcohol is always consumed at a faster rate.

Although there is demand for spirits and red wine, it is not that great.

Although if my dad goes to Italy, he will probably be attracted by the wineries there which are no less attractive than those in France.

Mihrima came out only after he had written the part of the plan that had to do with Ireland.

"Master, do you want me to go find the landlord again and boil some bath water? I've already done it."

"Lima, go and rest first. I can wash it tomorrow. I have something to do now."

The girl changed her clothes inside and waited in the maid's room outside.

"Master, if you have any problem."

"You go to sleep first. There's nothing to do today. If I need to do anything, I'll do it myself."

Considering that Solovyov didn't really need servants or maids, he sent his adjutant and servants to Katya this time. He would set off for Vienna in a few days.
Well, it wouldn't be surprising if he did something independently.

However, Solovyov wrote all night long, and what he produced was even more than he expected.

This is about immigration, overseas territories, diplomacy, military, agriculture, industry... In short, it covers many aspects. Some of them just list the general outline, while others also go into details, even going as far as to specify how they should be implemented.

When Mihlima got up the next morning and came to help Solovyov make his bed, she knew that her master had stayed up all night and was sleeping on the table.

Although in a certain game, lying on the table may be a sign of a successful spy assassination, Solovyov was indeed fine.

With his identity, there was nothing wrong with him coming to Ireland. After all, he came here to acquire breweries, ranches and farms, which could bring some economic benefits to the local area.

Even if he does it well, the proportion of British taxes on the land that is not used by people can be reduced. The British side is really draining the pond to catch fish, regardless of sustainability. (End of this chapter)
