Chapter 600: The Strange Queen. Palace system

"You have listened to me, and you will all be under my control from now on, and you must be obedient. You have also taken a good look at this discipline manual of the General Office, and you can't commit discipline at work in the future. Especially the discipline of secrecy, whatever you see, rot in my stomach, don't say it. If you say it, it's suspected of leaking, don't blame me for being unkind. When the time comes, I am afraid that you will be sent to court for interrogation. Don't think that your status is special, don't think that you are your husband's woman when you enter here, and I dare not touch you. You are still far from becoming my husband's woman! Kang Tongwei said.

The daughters of the newly arrived Korean nobles also listened to Kang Tongwei's lectures here, and almost all of their unmarried daughters were given to Wang Guorui by these dozens of Korean nobles, and Wang Guorui made his own choices. However, at present, they are also temporarily left under Kang Tongwei in Wang Guorui's office, temporarily serving as a female secretary. And Kang Tongwei also knows that these women may have come with a mission, all of them are aimed at seducing Wang Guorui, the future new emperor, and then it can be said that they will fly on the branches and become phoenixes and become nobles directly. When the time comes, he will be able to get a lot of benefits for his father. Especially when they heard that their father might become the king of Joseon at that time, this made them decide how to seduce Wang Guorui, because the attitude of Wang Guorui, the future new emperor of China, determined the impact on those Korean nobles. If you can't get Wang Guorui's support, then no matter how much you get military exploits, it won't be of the best use.

And these women may think that they are all Wang Guorui's women who have entered this office, but now Kang Tongwei tells them that they are far from it. This hurt them very much, obviously very unhappy.

"Excuse me, are you the queen mother?" Immediately a North Korean girl asked.

"Sort of! However, in our case, all wives of men are of equal status, and we will not forcibly divide between the main wife and the concubine. So. I'm going to be a queen in the future. However, even if you can enter the palace in the future, you can only become an imperial concubine. Kang Tongwei began to explain the rules to these new women.

"After that. Who will take care of the palace? So many queens, who will be in charge of the post. Palace? Someone asked right away.

Kang Tongwei said: "This is also the responsibility of the current Governor's Palace Service Center, and in the future, the Royal Service Center will be in charge?" Our queen is not responsible for the management of the post. Palace. ”

These words completely subverted these Korean girls for the emperor. After the palace knew that they did not think at all that the queen was not responsible. Palace. Is it actually an outside agency that is in charge? This is simply a surprise to them, and there are so many queens, so how can they be responsible?

"What does your queen do?"

Kang Tongwei explained: "The empress, in our case, is not a symbol of a position of power, but only shows that he is the emperor's wife, just an empty name, and cannot manage anyone, understand?" The actual position I am responsible for now is the Chief of Staff of the Governor's Office, and in the future I will be the Chief of Staff of the Privy Council. Directly in the service of the emperor. And the Chief of Staff is my position, the Empress is just my title, the first one is the actual power and position, and the latter is just an empty name. So how much power the queen has depends on what affairs she is responsible for. For example, Sister Zheng Hong is an officer of our Taiwanese lieutenant general and is in charge of the affairs of the General Political Department. ”

"The queen and the princess can actually do things outside. Don't you have to go home at night? You don't have to serve the emperor. Sleep? ”

Kang Tongwei replied: "Not necessarily, if it is really a little busy." You can make a phone call back to the Governor's Mansion and explain the situation, and you don't need to go back. As for the waiter. The matter of sleeping, this may not be, and the husband will not be reluctant. Anyway, whose room she spends the night in, it depends on whether she is in the Governor's Palace, or whether it depends on her husband's own mood and the mood of his woman. Not reluctantly. Because in our law-making, there is also a judicial interpretation called strong marriage. Rape, even if it is a husband and wife, cannot be forced to happen when the wife does not want to. relationship, otherwise it is considered strong. Adultery. ”

Kang Tongwei's words shocked these North Korean girls. It can even be said to be described as "destroying the three views". In the eyes of these aristocratic girls, as a concubine, they must unconditionally meet any requirements of the emperor. And he can't leave the palace casually, but Wang Guorui, the concubine of the new emperor, can go out of the palace casually, and it is not even forbidden to stay outside the palace. This palace management system is too relaxed, right? They don't understand, isn't Wang Guorui afraid that his woman will have any accidents outside?

As for the queen actually turned into an empty title, without any representation of a position of power, the real real power depends on the work she is responsible for. This makes these girls don't know what to do, they thought that they could directly become concubines and directly grasp power, but it doesn't seem to be as good as they think. However, these girls are more concerned about their treatment.

"The queen mother, then how much money can you, the queen and the future princess, get every year? Or what is the year? ”

The so-called annual example, that is, in ancient times, the concubines were given a certain amount of property every year as living needs, which were taken out of the emperor's private treasury. However, these wealths are actually paid by the people, which is equivalent to the people paying money to support these concubines.

"If I am in this position, I will be able to receive a direct subsidy of 20 yuan a month. And these money are all given to me by my husband himself, and they are not government expenditures. Twenty yuan, in fact, is about the same as a month's salary income of a department-level official, that is, a month's income of an official with about nine grades. Kang Tongwei said.

These North Korean girls almost fainted, and the dignified queen's monthly income was actually only the income of a nine-rank official, so this queen was definitely the most bitter queen since ancient times. How to live such a life, these North Korean girls really dare not imagine.

"However, my real income is not here. My real income is the income brought by the position, my position is the chief of staff, the future is probably equivalent to the ministerial-level officials, the current monthly income above the position plus various allowances, benefits, as well as a variety of regular meal subsidies and other activity subsidies, etc., on average, a total of 130 yuan a month! ”

"And Zheng Hong's sister has a higher income than me, she not only has a service allowance, but also a salary for the rank of lieutenant general, rank salary, military age allowance and so on. She can make about 170 to 180 yuan a month. ”

"Chen Lin, another woman of the husband, is the director of the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee, because the Ethnic Affairs Management Committee is a Qingshui Yamen, which is not as good as our General Office and the General Political Department, and it only costs about 100 yuan a month."

"As for the husband's foreign dancer. Duncan, she is very tall, and she earns tens of thousands of yuan every time she performs dances in foreign countries, which is definitely not low. ”

These girls almost fainted when they heard Kang Tongwei's explanation, they understood it, and after the new emperor. In the palace, those women can not only go out to work, but these Wang Guorui will only give these women a basic fixed income of twenty yuan, if they want to get more wealth, they have to rely on their own efforts to earn money. The money earned by Wang Guorui and these women when they go out to earn money by themselves is many times higher than the basic income given to them by Wang Guorui, so the income from the money given by Wang Guorui is probably just a fraction.

"When you become a queen, you still have to work to earn money? Oh, my God! "The girls almost broke down.

These girls don't understand at all how they should enjoy the support of the people of the whole country when they become queens, but the reality is not like this at all. When they become queens, they have to work on their own to earn money, which completely subverts their past ideas. So, it makes them feel incredible.

And they don't know that the reason why Wang Guorui is like this is that he didn't let the whole people support his family. even stipulated such a strange regulation, even if he married Wang Guorui, the new emperor, he only received a very low subsidy, only twenty yuan, which is not very high, at most equivalent to the salary of a department-level official. Even if you become a queen, you don't have to work on your own to earn money. Wang Guorui just gave him a "minimum guarantee", and if he wants to live a better life, he still has to earn his own money.

Wang Guorui knew that although he was not a feminist, he was in favor of improving the status of women. Wang Guorui does not agree with the feudal family in the past, where the husband is the wife and the husband has absolute power. However, from the experience of later generations, he actually said that if you want to improve the status of women, you must first start by making them financially independent. If women are not financially independent, how can they ensure their place in the family?

Therefore, if Wang Guorui wants to break the old thinking, he must start from himself, not only only gave his "queen" a very low subsidy, but also really wanted to live a better life, so he had to earn money by himself. Wang Guorui actually wants to dilute the privileges and benefits brought by being a concubine, and return the marriage to the real combination of human survival and reproduction. If he gives his women too many privileges and benefits, then not only does this not conform to the mainstream of democracy in the future, but will also cause many women to sharpen their heads one by one in order to be this concubine and enjoy a rich and noble life without work. Drill inside the palace.

Wang Guorui's goal is also to promote a culture that does not advocate that women can improve their lives by finding a rich man, and it really depends on how much money they earn. Only by truly dispelling this idea of letting women get rich and noble by marrying directly without work can we really "force" women to do their own work and their own careers. Otherwise, if there are too many such examples, and you can directly enjoy a rich life by getting married without work, then this society will definitely become very impetuous.

Wang Guorui started from me, and he would not give his women to directly enjoy the worship and various privileges of the people for nothing, but to obtain income by letting them hold positions, so that he could really take the lead. However, these North Korean girls don't understand this at all, and they are about to collapse. (To be continued......)
