Red Alert 1895: Chapter 726 idle royalty
"I also have my own thoughts about those royal families who failed to become emperors. I don't want to spend a lot of money to support those royal families like the Ming Dynasty. The last royal family named Zhu has millions of people, and then forced It swallowed up the wealth of the entire country. Our country can't support so many people, so I plan to use the smallest royal family. I plan to have several directions for those idle royal families who did not inherit the throne in the future. One is It is supported by the royal family's own fund, but the level of support is definitely not too high. Even for those who have the title of prince and direct princess, the monthly support standard that can be obtained is about 100 yuan. The son will be rewarded as the king of the county, and the king of the county can get a monthly payment of 50 yuan. The son of the king of the county will get the title of general of the town, and he can get 25 yuan a month. However, these clan titles are not It can be hereditary, it belongs to the life system, and once it dies, it cannot be inherited. And the offspring born by the princess, under normal circumstances, cannot be regarded as the royal family. However, there is only one exception, if the princess has the opportunity to obtain the title of queen, then her The direct descendants of the biological family can be treated the same as male princes, and have the royal title and monthly payment within three generations. How the princess can obtain the title of queen will be arranged at that time."
"As for the royal family's fund, I plan to take part of it from my private property. According to my previous plan, the descendants of me and Hong'er can inherit 40% of the property shares, and draw another 10% from it. Ten as these funds, I think as long as the royal family does not expand too much, it will be enough. And the remaining 50% of the property shares can be determined according to the ability and situation of my children in the future. However, In principle, what they inherit is only the right to share dividends, not the right to control. In the future, the company with these shares will be handed over to professional managers to be responsible for the management. Generally speaking, the royal family will not manage it personally."
Hearing Wang Guorui's arrangements for those idle royal families, as well as the arrangements for the inheritance of shares and property, this also made them feel a little mixed. Especially when I heard that Zheng Hong's descendants will get 40%, I am even more envious. But they don't know. The fact that Zheng Hong's children obtained such a good inheritance ratio was based on the fact that Zheng Hong's descendants gave up the right to inherit the throne, otherwise it would not have been possible. However, the situation about the inability to inherit the title of the royal family. It makes many women feel dissatisfied.
"It's only for life? Then why can the meritorious officials be hereditary?" Liu Xue said a little unhappy.
Wang Guorui asked: "Then what credit do these royal families have for the establishment of the country? Is it because of their blood that they have to be raised for generations? If it goes on for generations, I am afraid that the people will increase countless burdens, and in the end it will be like Ming Dynasty. In that way, bring the country down?"
"Then this one hundred yuan is too little, isn't it? It's even less than our current ministerial salary!" Chen Lin said a little speechlessly.
The treatment of Wang Guorui, the prince, is simply shabby. A monthly payment of only 100 yuan a month, which is just the basic salary of a ministerial official, seems too "shabby". Compared with the days when the ancient royal family spent money like water, it was not at the same level at all.
But Wang Guorui snorted and said, "How much do you want for free? You can have more than a hundred yuan. That's when you have a job, a proper position and a proper job. You can get so much. One hundred yuan is more Not enough? This is for them to support them for nothing. They can get so much without working. How much more do they want? I don’t want our whole country to be full of ideas of getting something for nothing in the future. Anyone who wants to live a rich life , Labor is necessary. Don’t expect to steal a good tire. In this way, you can get rich for generations? If you don’t work, is it not enough to get a hundred yuan? You must know that many ordinary people currently have a monthly income of less than It's only five or six dollars, isn't one hundred dollars enough? Even, this one hundred dollars is not so easy to get!"
"Those princesses and princes who accept a monthly payment of 100 yuan must accept the work arranged by the royal family and cannot resist. For example, if they accept this monthly payment, they must pay a price. Their marriage must accept The emperor's arrangement cannot be refused. The emperor asked them to marry or marry someone. They must marry each other and cannot refuse. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky in this world. What you get has to be paid , I don't want my descendants to have the thinking of getting something for nothing. I can't encourage the thinking of getting something for nothing. Even the royal family can't get something for nothing, otherwise they can get something for nothing. In this world, the law of equivalent exchange should be followed to get one thing It must be paid. It may be physical labor, or it may be mental labor, and if the royal family wants to get this pie that fell from the sky, they must sacrifice, which is their freedom of marriage."
"Then what if you don't want to be sent to marry?" Kang Tongwei asked.
Wang Guorui replied: "Then give up your royal status!"
"Give up your royal status? Can you give up your royal status?" Everyone was surprised.
"What's so strange? Can't the royal family status be given up? I plan to set up a rule in the future royal family, that is, whenever any prince or princess or a branch of the royal family becomes an adult, they are unwilling to live in this kind of pig raising." life, then you can take the initiative to apply for giving up your royal status. If you are willing to voluntarily give up your royal status, you can apply for it, and then after you get the consent, you can voluntarily give up your royal status. At the same time, you can get his monthly payment for 20 years, As a fund for him to start a business. In the future, what he will use the money to do, and then use it to start a business, or use it to do what he likes, that is their own freedom. And the royal family will not give them any support, everything It all depends on their own hard work and luck. And if the royal family needs to marry, they will not be found. They can have their own freedom of marriage. The prince who gave up his royal status can marry that woman if he wants to. , the royal family cannot interfere. And the princess who has given up the status of the royal family can also marry anyone she wants, even if she wants to marry a beggar, the royal family cannot interfere." Wang Guorui said.
The reason why Wang Guorui came up with this rule was that he hoped that the number of the royal family could be reduced. If the number of the royal family was too large, it would inevitably form a huge group, and then devour the wealth of the country. The example of the Ming Dynasty cannot but be guarded against. The huge royal family devoured a lot of food, money, and land, and then concentrated a lot of wealth on them. On the surface, this is good for them, but it is definitely not good for the country. Reducing the size of the royal family will not only reduce the pressure on the country and itself to support financial resources, but also allow them to be free.
How many royal families have been really happy since ancient times? The royal families of the Ming Dynasty were raised by the state one by one, but the price was that they could not leave the fiefs casually, could not engage in scholars, farmers, businessmen, and even their personal freedom was greatly restricted. And they have a life without worrying about food and clothing, this is really what they want, do they really feel happy? It seems that Wang Guorui is not sure, happiness cannot be maintained by wealth alone. If being a royal family can really make you happy, then why is there such a famous saying "May you not be born in the emperor's family forever"? As an emperor's family, there must be a lot of helplessness, which you can't get rid of and you can't bear.
Wang Guorui hopes to give them a chance to escape, a chance to live the life they want and pursue their dreams. Instead of being trapped by the "cage" of the royal family, you will not be controlled for a lifetime, and then you will not be free. Everyone should have the opportunity to choose the life they want, but it depends on whether you are willing to give up something. Wang Guorui is willing to let those royal families give up their royal status, and then live the life they want, and also reduce the pressure of supporting the royal family~www.mtlnovel.com~ Don't worry, if they choose by themselves, it may not be a bad thing . Everyone should have their own life they want to live, instead of keeping them here, this is not a good thing for the country or themselves. " Wang Guorui said comfortingly.
These women couldn't help sighing, obviously they could only accept this result. They knew that Wang Guorui didn't discuss this issue, because Wang Guorui didn't expect each of his descendants to live a prosperous life, which was impossible. Therefore, he must maintain a balance between the interests of the country and his own descendants. It is impossible for him to let the country bear the support of each of his descendants, so that sooner or later, he will not be able to support it. It will even encourage the atmosphere of getting something for nothing in society, which is definitely not appropriate. It is necessary to obtain income through labor. If a group of people who get nothing without labor are formed in this society, it will definitely bring about very bad social impact. Once the royal family has too many people and becomes a burden to the people of the country, a revolution will definitely break out at that time. In the future, the people will not be as servile as in the past. They will definitely make their voices heard when they encounter dissatisfaction, so don't expect the people in the future to be submissive. Their wisdom will definitely become more and more enlightened. Sometimes their own royal family has too many people and becomes a burden to the people of the country, then they will not hesitate to launch a revolution to overthrow their own empire, which is not good.
