In his previous life, Mihail knew that the Russian royal family had accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the past few hundred years.
However, he did not expect that there would be so many.
This was a huge asset worth tens of billions of rubles! There were six thousand tons of gold alone. Based on the current market price, it was equivalent to more than 800 million pounds.
In this era, this was definitely a huge sum of money.
Nicholas II had such a huge amount of wealth in his hands, but he ended up like this. It had to be said that it was really a little too useless. It could be said that he had played a good hand of cards to pieces.
"Kristoff, can I use the royal family's assets as I please?”Mihail asked.
"Of course, Your Majesty. Although the royal family's assets belonged to all the members of the royal family. However, as the Tsar, you can use it at any time.”Kristoff answered.
Mihail nodded. He was relieved.
With a huge amount of royal assets as a guarantee. Then, he could carry out all his plans.
"If I spend all the wealth of the royal family, no one will object, right?”Mihail asked.
Kristoff's expression changed, as if he hadn't expected this.
It had to be known that the past tsars of the Russian Empire had all thought of ways to store gold and various treasures in the vault. However, Michael was completely different from the other tsars. He did not want to store treasures in the vault. Instead, he wanted to spend all the wealth in it.
"Your Majesty, what are you planning to do?”Kristoff asked.
" Of course not." Mikel sighed." Our country is strong. However, there were still many problems. Most of the people were living in poverty and did not even have enough to eat. Every year, because of the famine, a large number of people starved to death. They are all my people. I definitely can't let this miserable situation continue.
Moreover, there were still many enemies outside the empire. Our enemy is developing at a rapid pace and is becoming stronger and stronger. We, on the other hand, are still walking on the same spot. "If this continues, it won't be long before we'll be greatly surpassed by the enemy and left behind.
In the long run, the empire would be in a huge crisis. Under such internal and external troubles, the Imperium might collapse soon! If he wanted to change all of this, not only would he need to put in a lot of effort, but he would also need to do so. At the same time, it also required a huge amount of funds.”
For Kristoff to be able to become the butler of the royal family and receive a heavy responsibility from the Tsar, he was naturally a very smart person.
He did not expect the young Tsar to have such ambitions.
However, this was undoubtedly a good thing for the Russian Empire and its people!
The Russian Empire's current problem was indeed very serious. If they didn't think of a solution, it would be like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable. The entire Russian Empire might be destroyed because of this.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply gratified that you have such ambitions. If there's anything you need, just let me know.”Kristoff answered.
Mihail nodded. It would be best if he had Kristoff's support.
"The Imperial Department of Supervision is investigating the officials of the Empire. They are continuously collecting large amounts of stolen money from their hands. However, I'm worried that this money is still not enough. Therefore, the royal family's assets had to be ready at all times. Once the finances were unable to support it, a portion of the royal family's assets had to be allocated to the empire's finances!”Mihail said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Kristoff had no objections.
Next, Michael planned to attack all aspects of the Russian Empire.
The first would be agriculture, which had to be reformed.
The Russian Empire had a large number of serfs. They did not have their own land and could only farm the land for the landlord, bearing the high rent.
These serfs not only lived extremely difficult lives. At the same time, it was also the main source of the Russian Empire's army.
Once a war broke out, a large number of serfs would be conscripted. They would put down their hoes, pick up their weapons, and go to the battlefield.
However, because their combat skills were too terrible. At the same time, the equipment was extremely simple. As a result, they were often used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
In almost every war, the Russian Empire would suffer heavy casualties. The soldiers who died or were injured were almost all these serfs.
They didn't have enough to eat, they were in danger, and they had to pay with their lives.
No matter how much these serfs loved the Tsar, they could not last long.
This was also the reason why the Bolsheviks had won the support of the serfs in another time and space.
This was precisely the problem that Michael wanted to solve.
If he could feed the vast number of serfs, then he would definitely win the loyalty of these serfs. Then, his throne would be extremely stable. At the same time, when a war broke out in the future, they would gain a large number of loyal soldiers.
Even if he had to exhaust all his assets for this, he would not hesitate!
