"Have you all thought it through?" Zhu Wencong asked in return, thinking to himself that each of these bureaucrats was a sly creature.
Alex hurriedly nodded his head, as the prospect of the nobility of Saint Petersburg plundering the wealth of the Moscow Nobility was an opportunity too good to pass up.
The lion's share of the profits would belong to Jiuding; no one could outcompete Jiuding, and being content with the leftovers was better than nothing.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the issue of Nikola Mining Company?" Zampiero inquired.
The assembly had no problem dealing with their own local Nobility, but when it came to enterprises under the Tsar, everyone suddenly shrank back.
Alexander II was an emperor whose word was law; if truly provoked, his sword would swing down swiftly.
The best solution would be for Zhu Wencong to address the problem of Nikola Mining Company, preferably resulting in both Jiuding and Nikola being weakened.
