Section 306 Establishment (iv)

Generally speaking, every Chinese New Year, the elders have to pay for the children out of their pockets. This principle is also common to ancient emperors: every time the court worships, the emperor always sends a wave of red envelopes to his courtiers and soldiers and civilians after these ceremonies.

In the process, the soldiers and officials at the bottom would be given some money, cloth, and cold meat. And the high-level bigwigs naturally don't look down on this thing, what they care about is Enmeng: their children and grandchildren will get the quota of officials.

Although this wave of red envelopes was nominally distributed by the emperor, it was actually spent by the state treasury. Even if it is the quota and level of Enmeng, there are fixed numbers and rules; The emperor can make small personal adjustments, but the overall situation cannot be changed.

This usually culminated in the accession of the new emperor to the throne. Whether it is the founding emperor or the new emperor of the next generation, he will "feast the ministers" and "reward the lavishly".

This kind of reward is quite golden: this is how the heirloom titles of the Xungui Group are generated. Whenever a new emperor comes to power, there will always be a group of upstarts, powerful eunuchs and relatives...... Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Of course, the above-mentioned political resources and the accompanying large reward expenditures are still the national treasury.

In fact, the amount of money allocated by the household department to the emperor each year to support the family was limited, and in the early and middle periods when the structure of a dynasty was stable, it was difficult for the emperor to extort unreasonable funds from the civil bureaucracy for private consumption.

There's a proper noun here: inner silver.

The inner money is private money. While enjoying a part of the treasury finances, the emperor also relied on imperial merchants, imperial villages, tributes, and money to make extra money. In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor set up 886 imperial estates in Northeast China and North China alone, which were managed by the internal government accounting department.

The sum of the above various incomes is the source of private funds for the emperor to support his family, pay salaries to eunuchs and concubines, reward his subordinates with personal gifts, and purchase treasures from all over the world.

So since it's private money, there's never too much time - the emperors of all dynasties, in order to have more money on their hands, have also fought a lot with the civilian official group and tore a lot of force.

Some of these emperors succeeded, such as Song Huizong; There are also those who have been fooled and lame by civil officials, and when the country is gone, the homes of nobles and civil officials are stuffed with silver, but the emperor is poor...... Yes, it's Brother Chongzhen.

There are also some emperors who belong to the shameless type. In the later period of the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, more than 20 years before the arrival of the people, in order to enrich the inner treasury, the Wanli Emperor, who had been hiding in the harem for many years and did not go to work, actually sent a large number of mine tax supervisors to collect money in various places, which led to the anti-tax riots that occurred one after another across the country.

However, with the exception of the late dynasties and some strange emperors, who were prone to extreme situations, throughout history, most of the time, emperors had a stable amount of silver; Sometimes, when the state uses troops, the emperor has to send out the silver.

......

Things go back to the traversals.

All the materials that Cao Chuan transported to the new plane before this were in fact "public property". These materials are put on public accounts: Cao Chuan, the major shareholder, first invests in, and then the small shareholders who actually preside over the work distribute the materials as needed to build the country.

However, this is different: since there is a royal family in the structure, there must be an inner treasury. Public and private must be clearly distinguished, otherwise, the emperor will use the treasury as his own money bag, which will be even more terrible. Therefore, the government will definitely allocate a sum of money every year in the future, and the British Treasury will also issue a "monarch grant".

Note that the inner silver mentioned here refers specifically to the materials that Emperor Cao brought from later generations that could not be manufactured in the "lifetime" of the people. As for the local industrial products and gold and silver treasures of the Ming Dynasty, these things in the bag were not worth much in the eyes of the first generation, so everyone just went back and discussed the distribution ratio with the emperor, and no one cared.

Therefore, the current situation is more special: because the emperor is relatively good, he can theoretically keep all the goods that will be shipped in the future as his own and leave them as internal silver for his stupid son.

For example, the golden Rolls-Royce Phantom parked downstairs - the parts that someone had spent two "treasure chests" a few days ago had now been assembled and used for his own accession to the throne.

...... As a result, the new, not yet formally established "shadow government" is now a headache: Xia Lao Zhongtang not only has to find ways to fight against the emperors and Hans, but is also responsible for negotiating with Emperor Cao to get back most of the "imported materials" from the other side.

Well, the government was a vulnerable group in those days, and it had to live by exploiting the emperor's inner money.

However, the emperor graduated from a third-rate university, and he was not as easy to fool as Chongzhen: if the civil officials wanted to take back the initiative, it was impossible to go without some blood...... I'll talk about that later.

......

The emperor has a treasury of silver, but what about the others? In fact, there have been calls for a little private money from others for a long time.

Since the crossing, each traveler has had to find a replacement in the Ming Dynasty except for half a cubic meter of personal belongings.

This is a very sad thing. Most of the people who crossed the country used straw paper to wipe their buttocks, and before the chemical plant was built, they used soap horns for bathing, and the first group of people to cross, especially those who worked in the field, had rotten shoes, rotten pants, rotten coats, and even their underwear was finished.

When the little early daily necessities in the "treasury" were used up, even the rough old men complained bitterly.

And none of these are the hardest, Armani broke the big deal and put two corduroy patches on his elbow to pretend to be casual...... The hardest part is that the smoke is gone.

For a normal smoker, one pack a day is the average. So no matter how these people save, today, after one and a half years, all the smokers are out of food.

This incident also indirectly contributed to the launch of the cigarette factory in the kiln area. However, things are not so simple: the cigarettes of later generations are high-end industrial products, which not only contain flavors that cannot be produced now, but also include special cigarette paper, silk fibroin in the filter mouth, and non-toxic EVA glue for the spout and mouth, which are not capable of being produced by cigarette factories.

Coarse, spicy, choking, smoking a puff of cigarette residue of the home-made cigarettes brought happiness to the majority of employees, but the old men scolded their mothers every day. Cigarettes are no longer visible in the section of the forum that is now dedicated to internal trading...... The eldest girl can't be replaced.

Well, this matter has finally been resolved since there was an emperor. Cao had already announced that on the day his old man ascended the throne, he would reward each of his ministers with a Danshu iron coupon..... Wrong, it's a blank list, and all the servants can fill in the list with a volume of one cubic personal belongings.

This move was sincerely supported by all the subordinates, and everyone was almost shouting long live. In the evening of the same day, N small gangs were spontaneously organized at the forum...... There are not a few people who plan to get together a US Humvee.

A vote of officials, including Xia Xianze, was also happy to do so: the import of more than 200 cubic meters of private consumer goods was not something that "government officials" like them had the courage to make...... It will be sprayed to death by the emperors and some of the industrial party with red eyes and other equipment.

Yes, while smoking imported cigarettes, it is the preserve of the minority party to lash out at the government that it should not import luxury goods.

If the emperor comes forward now, even if everyone is happy: one cubic meter of materials per person is equivalent to the emperor's personal pocket, and no one has anything to say.

......

The party that holds the right to supply and distribute resources will always be the stronger party. That's why when everyone went to the palace for a meeting to "face the saint", Bai Hongda and they were afraid of Cao Chuan.

There is no need to intimidate these bastards with big moves like "take it away": Cao Chuan only needs to announce that the rewards of all the emperors will be halved, then Bai Hongda and Wei Hu will step down overnight, and then be tied up with a straw mark on their heads and sent to the palace to apologize......

Therefore, the meeting in the Jianyuan Hall that day, since Cao Chuan came out, there was no obstacle. As soon as the emperors and Han changed their past wrongs, they were honest and matter-of-fact, and soon settled the few things that had been pending before.

The first is the country name.

Among the previous options, the top one was "Qin" proposed by Cao Chuan himself. The third-rate college students who did not learn and did not know how to do it were originally said to be "Eastern Qin", but after being privately pointed out by the courtiers, it was changed to "Qin".

The second-ranked country is the "Golden Dragon Empire" launched by the Conservatives. The title of this dirty scum comes from an object: the ring in Cao Chuan's hand. When the stored energy is sufficient, what appears in the ring face is two golden dragons circling around.

Because everything that has happened to the traversal so far is derived from this ring and from the two dragons, so the Conservative Party believes that everything in the empire should be linked to the ring, after all, the existence of this mysterious high civilization has been hammered, and the crossing country can be regarded as having a origin.

In addition to these two titles, the emperors and Han naturally came up with a bunch of country names with the words "Tang Han".

And after Cao Chuan came forward today, several parties sitting in the Jianyuan Hall quickly reached a consensus: the final name of the country was the "Golden Dragon Empire".

The reason is very simple: Cao Chuan's "Qin" and the "Tang Han" of the emperors and Hans canceled each other out. Negative and negative are positive, since it is not appropriate to delete any of the country names in the old time and space, then simply don't use them.

After setting the name of this earth bun country full of fantasy spirit, the national flag is logical: the starry sky surrounded by two golden dragons is the pattern of the national flag...... In fact, the face of the ring was copied.

The national emblem is similar. Two golden dragons surround the crown and the crossed scepter, symbolizing the emperor and the founding nobles who came to power under him.

The last one to settle down was the national anthem.

The song from the previous life must not be used here: as soon as they heard the phrase "Arise, you who do not want to be slaves", the faces of the slave owners sitting in the hall suddenly turned green.

As a result, a murderous song that is very suitable for the expansion of the empire was decided - "Soviet March", the theme song of the Red Alert.

Well, the lyrics and title of the song need to be changed slightly...... Everything else is good, anyway, this song has been changed many times by netizens, presumably the American author won't care.
