Chapter 33: Lonely Friend
"Chirp, tweet"
Wow - 噫 -
For half a year, from April to October, Peter was in a state of great depression, depressed and depressed, and even Catherine could not see him. Peter spent his days playing the bears and playing the violin and piano in the court theatre.
"Hey, Katyusha, you know what?"
Peter leaned against the iron cage and said to the big black bear who was eating fish inside.
"You are much luckier than me, right, you were not shot in the head by a hunter and then took off the bear skin, chopped off the bear paws and took out the bear bile, but sent to St. Petersburg to be bought by me, and the crown prince of the Great Russian Empire personally fed the fish every day, which is a noble treatment that no other bear in the world can enjoy!"
Wow - 噫 -
Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Of course, the big black bear didn't understand, and slapped the iron cage vigorously and begged the fish to eat.
"You guy is so dishonest, obviously a girl, the same as the Misha I used to raise, but you are so greedy, hum, you have to be fat! It's like the old fat woman upstairs who can't marry in her life! ”
Whoosh –
Peter grabbed a fresh fish from the barrel and threw it into the cage.
"Eat, eat, eat! You are also quite pitiful as a bear, you have been captured by hunters and far from home, you can no longer breathe, play, and play with other bears happily, your enemies are no longer those wolves, foxes, wild boars and other things in the forest, but humans, despicable and hypocritical humans, I am actually quite despicable to put you in this cage... Alas, but I'm just a bad guy living in a cage, and I can't do anything but talk to you in the cage, and I can't change anything..."
Peter sat weakly on the grass and sighed.
Wow - 噫 -
The big black bear walked over and rubbed his tongue against Peter's neck through the cage.
"Hey, warn you, I'll be angry if you dare to bite me! You'd better eat less, or you'll really get fatty liver and gallstones like that old fat woman."
Peter turned around and patted the big black bear's nose gently.
"If you don't be honest, I'll marry you, hum! Find you the ugliest and ugliest big black bear! The old and ugly kind! ”
Babbling - babbling -
The big black bear suddenly stood up and slapped the cage excitedly, as if something particularly happy had happened.
"Hey, Katyusha, you're a lady, aren't you! Don't think about other male bears all day long, you will be deceived if you are obsessed with men! Do you know that there will be bears! In this era, there is no Durex Minting to give you contraception, don't think about those shameful things, okay! ”
Babble-babble-
The big black bear shook his head vigorously, as if he was yelling, 'The old lady disagrees!' ''The old lady just wants a man, huh!'' ’...
"Good, good! I've really lost to you... If you want a male bear so much, I'll find you one tomorrow, hum, you'll be killed! ”
Babbling - babbling -
The big black bear is standing and clapping his hands!
"Hey, hey, Katyusha, you're a fake bear, aren't you? At first glance, she is not a serious girl!! ”
"Your Highness, you're really here, haha"
When Peter heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was the Deputy Prime Minister, Duke Volyntsov.
The only one willing to take the initiative to deal with Peter at this time was this Volyntsov.
"Why are you here again? Aren't you afraid that bald head will sue in front of your aunt? ”
Peter's bald head was naturally referring to the bald clerk of the mysterious office.
"Haha, Your Highness, don't come unharmed! Oops, why is Katyusha so happy today? She dances like a woman! ”
The stocky Volyntsov was too similar to a big black bear.
"Alas, it's still so boring... Forget it, do you have any news that will make me happy? ”
Peter quickly returned to his thoughts.
"Haha, it is true that as His Highness said, I really have good news to tell His Highness personally"
Volyntsov said with a smile on his face.
"Oh? What is it? ”
"Do you remember the last time you were in the conference room, you pointed to the globe and said to me?"
"Pointing to the globe? Oh - it seems like a colony thing, right? ”
As a time-traveler in later generations, Peter naturally knew relatively well where the future would grow rapidly and which would remain barren in hundreds of years.
For the interior of Africa and the northwest coast of North America, which were still unknown to the European powers in the 17th century, Guo Zijing in Peter's body is a man who knows Menqing, who was a representative of geography classes in middle and high school, and has a particularly deep memory of the gold mines in South Africa, diamonds in Namibia and Angola, the gem riverbed of the Congo River, and the gold mines of San Francisco and the Aleutian Islands. So during his brief regency, he strongly advocated exploring and colonizing these places.
It's just that I didn't expect Aunt Elizabeth to recover so quickly, and all the plans that she was ready to implement were vetoed, so she has been depressed and depressed to this day.
"Yes, what His Highness said has always been in my heart. Luckily, at the beginning of this month, I met a merchant who had returned from Siberia and had traveled to the Far East to raise money for the trade of sea otter skins. After learning from below, this person was willing to venture across the Bering Sea, because the northern coast of the continent opposite the Bering Sea was rich in sea otters, so he became the patron of this person."
"It always feels like you're spending a lot of money, Earl..."
Peter said with some embarrassment.
"It's good to help His Highness fulfill his wish, it's just a small amount of money to spend a little money, so why talk about breaking the cost haha"
As the deputy prime minister, Volyntsov was also in charge of the imperial finances, so he naturally would not be an ordinary nobleman.
"Then there's Count Law."
Peter excitedly shook Volyntsov's hand.
"Haha, if Your Highness has anything else you want to do but it's inconvenient to do, as long as you entrust it to your subordinates, you will definitely do your best!"
"It's a pity, alas, I wanted to use the power of the church to develop Siberia, but it's a pity that my aunt can't see so far away..."
"Your Highness doesn't have to be melancholy, Your Highness is standing at the top of the empire, and at that time, it's not Your Highness who has the final say, haha"
"Hmm... Yes, I'll wait until that day comes."
Peter looked at the setting sun and said firmly.
