Struggle in Russia

This suggestion given by Li Xiao was an eye-opener for Nikolai Milyutin, because Russia's advanced people have always had the same opinion on how to abolish serfdom, that is, to shout for the abolition of slavery.

But they either don't know how to abolish slavery, or they deliberately pretend to be stupid. Even the most familiar and conscientious people at the grassroots level only propose a redemption system.

The question is, how many serfs can afford to buy their freedom or even their land?

Anyway, once the abolition of slavery reaches the critical stage of operation, everyone turns a blind eye and can't come up with any practical and effective methods.

The final result is always loud shouting, but when it comes to operation, it is blinding. Then it’s over!

But Li Xiao's method opened up a new situation. He didn't mention abolition of slavery, because it was impossible to do it for the time being. He started by protecting the personal rights and interests of serfs, instead of pursuing those abolitionist policies that looked very bluffing but had no way to be implemented. Instead, he prioritized protecting the life rights of serfs.

After all, the reason why everyone is clamoring to abolish the serfdom system is simply because they feel that this system is too inhumane and greatly limits the labor force and locks all precious human resources in the fields, which is not conducive to the development of industry.

Now Li Xiao will first protect the serfs' right to survive and ensure that they have food and clothing. Although it is definitely impossible to live a good life, at least they will not die of hunger, right?

In this way, the power of the serfs to live was eliminated. What's more, he also specially added policies to restrict the serf owners so that the serf owners could not abuse the serfs. This is almost overflowing with mercy, okay?

Nikolai Milyutin immediately thought of the benefits of this method. The most basic life rights of the serfs were satisfied, which naturally reduced the possibility of them rising up, maintained the stability of Ukraine, and allowed Ukraine to carry out pilot work smoothly.

Secondly, the serfdom system was not completely abolished at once, so as not to suddenly stand on the opposite side of the serf owners. Although the power of the serf owners was greatly reduced, the serfs and the land still belonged to him. This reduces their incentive to resist.

This two-pronged approach can indeed temporarily maintain stability in Ukraine and help the reformists completely control Ukraine and conduct further reform experiments in Ukraine.

It can be said that this is the only feasible way for the time being!

Nikolai Milyutin was suddenly inspired. The thorny problem that had been bothering him for many days finally had a solution.

Although this method only treats the symptoms and cannot fundamentally cure Russia's chronic diseases, it is still the most peaceful and feasible method.

"Excellent! Your Excellency, your method is wonderful and has solved a big problem!"

Nikolai Milyutin said happily: "I can't wait to share this method with others. I think this is the only strategy that can solve our current problems. So, you can find a time and we can discuss the details. Let’s chat, no! We have to find a few more people to chat with, I’ll contact the count right away, I believe he will be very happy to hear this!”

Li Xiao felt that Count Rostovtsev would not necessarily be happy after hearing this. He always felt that the count did not like this compromise method. He did not like boiling frogs in warm water, but preferred to stir-fry them vigorously. After all, he What he wants is to completely solve Russia's stubborn problems in one fell swoop. He doesn't have the patience to wait another twenty or thirty years.

I don’t know whether Count Rostovtsev was happy Nikolai Milyutin, but Grand Duke Constantine was quite unhappy when he learned about it.

He couldn't help but find Nikolai Milyutin and strongly opposed Li Xiao's suggestion: "This suggestion is a piece of shit! It's worse than shit! Only that Polish **** would come up with such a disgusting idea. I strongly oppose it." Do it, this is never acceptable!”

Nikolai Milyutin was confused because Grand Duke Constantine's attitude was so bad. Not to mention that Li Xiao's suggestion was not stinking shit, but his attitude in speaking was unacceptable. How can you talk like this? Has the aristocratic cultivation been eaten by dogs?

Nikolai Milyutin was naturally a little unhappy, but Grand Duke Constantine had to talk about the cultivation of nobles.

He asked patiently: "Is there anything wrong with this idea?"

Grand Duke Constantine was stunned. He did not expect Nikolai Milyutin to ask this. Because he was strongly dissatisfied, shouldn't Nikolai Milyutin appease him first?

This naturally made him even more unhappy, and he said arrogantly: "What do you mean there's a problem? This is a terrible idea, it's totally useless!"

Grand Duke Constantine felt that he had completely stated his attitude this time, and Nikolai Milyutin must have understood what he meant. But what he didn't expect was that the latter frowned and said: "Your Highness, I think this idea is very good and the best way to solve the thorny problems we are currently facing. How is it as unbearable as you said? I think you should take good care of it. Calm down your mind and think about it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and don’t get carried away because of the past unpleasantness with Grand Duke Andrei!”

These words were very serious and direct, and they almost took off Archduke Constantine's pants. He almost didn't say clearly that the reason for his opposition was because of personal grudges.

But Nikolai Milyutin was really wrong. The reason why Grand Duke Constantine fiercely opposed Li Xiao's suggestion was not entirely because of his grudge with Li Xiao, but more importantly because of his interests.

As mentioned earlier, he is a representative of the radical and ignorant angry youth among the reformists. This group of people knows nothing about how to carry out reforms down-to-earth, but they are very knowledgeable about party unity and opposition to differences and clear-cut fundamentalism.

They believe that reform must completely abolish the serfdom system. Even if it can actually improve the personal rights of serfs, it is unacceptable as long as slavery is not abolished.

The abolition of slavery is the core of the struggle for them. As long as the abolition of slavery is achieved in name, there is no need to think about the rest.

As for whether slavery can be abolished, and whether the life of serfs can be guaranteed after abolition, they have no interest.

They abolished slavery for the sake of abolition.

How can someone like this possibly solve real problems and care about real problems?

Although Grand Duke Constantine is not as extreme as these angry youths, he relies on these angry youths to cheer for him, so he must comply with the demands of these angry youths and strongly oppose Li Xiao, a revisionist!

To put it bluntly, it is still the **** that determines the head, not to mention that he and Li Xiao have personal grudges, so naturally they cannot just watch Li Xiao go smoothly and rise within the faction!

Suddenly he waved his hand and said: "Earl, you really disappoint me. As our leader, how can you be so short-sighted!"
