The Tsar's resolution: short and clear! Bashny.Net

In 1892 Alexander III issued a decree on the construction of the port in Feodosia. This case was selected astronomical for those times the sum — ten million rubles!





But officials at that time were no different from modern, so most of the budget went to the construction of houses for these officials.

Autumn came, was necessary to the king the progress report to send, but at the time it was made no more than 20% of the target. What to do? Officials in the letter wrote that, say, on the shore fell autumn storm and all the buildings were destroyed. Element, force majeure and all that. The king became angry and again allocated money for the construction of the port.

And again the greedy officials have hogged most of the budget for their needs. Again he sent a telegram to the king that the storm, all spoiled. "All is lost, the king-father, we ask for more money." — it was written in it.

Again Alexander III deducts from the Treasury amount to the construction of the port and at the signing of the decree adds a resolution: "Again there will be a storm — all hanged!". Needless to say that the port of Feodosia was the year built in record time?
