Chapter 611: Family (First Shift)
Who is the richest person in China?
There is no doubt that everyone will say "emperor", because "the emperor is rich in the four seas", but what is the "four seas"? The ancients believed that China was surrounded by seas, so they called the whole country "the four seas". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info that is to say, the whole world is his, of course he is rich.
Is the emperor rich?
Of course, he is rich, but no emperor has ever really quantified his wealth, and there are really few emperors who have been really rich in all dynasties, but there are so many who are poor, so "I am rich all over the world" is just an exaggeration.
But this sentence, applied to the emperor of the Chinese Empire, is not an exaggeration at all. Thanks to years of investment and the confiscation of vast amounts of assets, the imperial family of the Chinese Empire is perhaps the richest in the world. More importantly, for the first time, the Chinese Empire truly quantified the wealth of the imperial family.
Unlike the ancient royal wealth, which was only the imperial estate and land, as a "successful businessman", Zhu Yifeng had a large amount of investment in China - he was the largest individual shareholder of the Hanyang Group, and at the same time, in the past many years, hundreds of investments have also obtained extremely rich returns, of course, the most successful investment is probably the real estate in the imperial capital, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places, these enterprises and real estate can bring tens of millions of yuan to the royal family every year.
It is precisely because of the income of tens of millions of yuan that the royal family will use all the annual expenses of 12 million yuan for the Imperial Education Development Fund, and donate an additional 10 million yuan to ensure that the Imperial Education Development Foundation can have sufficient funds for education.
The donation to the Imperial Education Development Fund is only one of the royal donations, with total assets of more than 100 million yuan, as well as medical and health care, universities and other aspects to provide domestic funding. And all of this needs to be guaranteed - money, which means that the royal family must run its own industry in order to have a steady stream of money to fund education, health and all aspects of the country.
How many estates does the royal family have?
Not many people have made statistics, even if the outside world conducts statistics, I am afraid it is difficult to calculate an accurate number, and even Concubine Rong, who is the actual operator of the royal industry, cannot give an accurate answer at the first time, because the royal industry is too complicated.
Not being able to give an answer at the first time does not mean that there is no answer, and for Rong Minghui, who is in charge of the royal property with the dignity of a noble concubine, she has been trying to effectively manage the royal family's estate, after all, these industries are all the foundation of the royal family.
"Among the royal estates, the most complicated number one is probably real estate!"
When facing Rong Ziyi, the nephew of her own family, Rong Minghui said slowly.
"As far as the royal real estate is concerned, in addition to the construction of the imperial capital, because His Majesty directly invested in the royal capital to own 30% of the land and above-ground buildings in the imperial capital, in Nanjing, the ownerless real estate at that time was handed over to the local government, as for the "pseudo-king" palace and other industries should not be included in the palace, at that time the palace will be part of the idle land in the palace for real estate management, now there are 58,310 commercial properties in Nanjing, a total of 13.45 million square meters, and then Shanghai ......"
As the only one of the Rong family's descendants who graduated from business school, and is largely regarded as the successor of his aunt, Rong Ziyi silently wrote down these figures, and he did not carry forward the Rong family according to the imagination of the outside world. That's why after graduating from university, he entered the Ministry of the Interior, an agency dedicated to assisting the royal family. It is also considered a rather mysterious government agency to the outside world, and this agency is also responsible for assisting the royal family in running the imperial estate.
"There are also some royal and some imperial villages, such as 438,000 acres of imperial villages on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and 727,300 acres of imperial villages in Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuchang."
When mentioning the Imperial Village, the corners of Rong Minghui's lips lifted slightly, perhaps the cumulative taxation of the land of the rich people in the people, so as to limit the scale of their land, but those Imperial Villages are exempt without exception, not because of the royal privilege, but because the royal family gave up obtaining land rent by leasing land.
Although there is no land rent, but she is very clear about the value of these imperial villages, the value of these imperial estates is by no means the output of their land, but in the future with the prosperity of the city, the land of its imperial villages will become more and more valuable, just like those imperial villages in Shanghai, now its market value has exceeded 20 million, ten years later, twenty years or even a hundred years later, once those imperial villages are commercially developed, they will inevitably become the most important source of income for the royal family again.
"According to His Majesty's will, these estates are either lent to the Agricultural Research Institute for free use, or used to house the disabled and honored who have nowhere to go, and they do not need to pay rent, but correspondingly, these lands are used for public welfare, so they do not need to pay taxes, although there is no need to consider these, but they are also the most important industries after all, so they should also be considered."
The consideration that Rong Minghui said was referring to the establishment of a special company, the establishment of a special company to manage the royal property, which was the suggestion made by Rong Ziyi, the nephew she watched grow up, after entering the Inner Servant Province.
"Of course!"
Rong Ziyi hurriedly replied.
"All royal property must be managed by a special company, and in the opinion of the minister, at least two companies should be established in each area for the operation and management of real estate, so as to avoid the company's decision-making mistakes and cause damage to the royal property, and the management company of the imperial capital is responsible for supervising ......"
As we all know, the royal family has a lot of properties, although Rong Ziyi was born in the Rong family and can be regarded as having seen the world, but after entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the amount of the royal family's industries still makes him staggered, the royal industry is too huge, and even together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for assisting the royal management, it is not clear how many there are, and it is precisely because of this that it will lead to the outflow of some industries.
In the past few years, thousands of properties of the royal family in Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuchang have been disposed of by the managers sent by the Ministry of Internal Service for various reasons, and in the eyes of Rong Ziyi, this is simply a loss of public and private interests, so he spent two years collecting evidence, which eventually led to the prosecution of hundreds of officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Niangniang, the royal family's investment in the enterprise, there is no need to worry about someone getting involved, because the company's shareholders and the law will put an end to their thoughts, the easiest thing to do is the royal estate, just like those people did before, they can always use some excuse to dispose of the royal assets......"
Only in the province of the inner servant, do you know why those ministers have treated the emperor as a fool throughout the ages, even Daoguang, who is famous for slamming the door and turning his face when he raises money, was fooled by the ministers that a patch costs five taels of silver, and it costs thirty taels of silver to eat an egg.
And the reason why the ministers do this is to take advantage of the emperor's ignorance of the outside world, although now His Majesty seems to be able to understand the outside world through various channels, and those internal servants will never dare to make an egg for thirty taels of silver, but they can always use the imperial property for personal gain, and the disposal of the imperial property is one thing, and more commonly it is to rent out the imperial property at a low price or "idle", as for how much they rent out or whether it is really idle, it is not for His Majesty to understand, that is, Rong Guifei, his aunt has no way to understand all this.
"Those ......"
Shaking her head, Rong Minghui sneered.
"They don't look at whose things it is, they dare to stretch out that hand for anything, are they also the royal things they can touch?"
And when she sneered, she also looked a little nervous, maybe for the outside world, her concubine is under one person and above ten thousand...... No, there are only a few sisters in the palace, and this majesty doesn't have any seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts.
Although it can be said that His Majesty's love for her and the queen is a bowl of water, she knows very well that she doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her, who let her hold the imperial property, and blame His Majesty for being too good at doing business, and the family business is big, it is inevitable that some people will think that he was casual when he invested at the beginning, and now he is throwing it to her.
When the words fell, Rong Minghui looked at the nephew in front of her and said.
"Ziyi, you are your own family, and you also know some things, Your Majesty handed over the family business to your aunt because the queen is not good at business......"
Rong Minghui's words were full of helplessness, and even a little bitter, because only she really understood the person next to her.
“…… Therefore, the palace can only be reluctantly managed, and in the past few years, I don't dare to make the slightest mistake, otherwise, I don't know if there will be many people who will take the opportunity to trap the palace......"
The words paused slightly, and now she is glad that the royal "family is small", if not, it is the last corruption case in the Inner Servant Province, it is estimated that someone will force her to hand over the imperial property, as for the imperial court, although they know about this matter, but they cannot interfere in the affairs of the palace, His Majesty has already set the rules, and the affairs of the court will never allow the foreign court to interfere. Therefore, those ministers who think she is a "threat" can only watch her continue to hold the imperial property, "threatening" the safety of the royal family.
"That's why this palace will agree to Ziyi's request, and the reason why I agree to your suggestion is not only because you are the nephew of this palace, but also for the benefit of the royal family, if it is...... When the time comes, not only will you not be able to explain to the palace, but the palace may not be able to explain to your majesty, but when the time comes, the Rong family will definitely give your majesty an explanation, do you understand? ”
Rong Minghui's voice was not loud, but listening to Rong Ziyi's ears, he immediately understood the meaning of his aunt's words, whether he could handle this matter well or not was directly related to the fate of the entire Rong family!
