Chapter 726: Idle Royalty

"I also have my thoughts about the royal family who failed to be emperors. I don't want to spend a lot of money to feed those royal families like the Ming Dynasty did. The last royal family surnamed Zhu had millions of people, and then devoured the wealth of the entire country. Our country can't afford to support so many people, so I'm going to use the smallest size of the royal family. I plan to go in the future for those idle royals who have not inherited the throne. One is to be supported by the royal family's own funds, but the level of support is certainly not too high. Even if you have the title of prince and the direct princess, the monthly support standard that you can get is about 100 yuan per month. The prince's son will be rewarded as the king of the county, and the king of the county will receive a monthly payment of fifty yuan. The son of the king of the county obtained the title of general of the town and could get twenty-five yuan per month. However, these clan titles cannot be hereditary, they belong to the lifelong system, and they cannot be inherited once they die. And the offspring born to princesses can't be considered royal under normal circumstances. However, there is only one exception, if the princess has the opportunity to obtain the title of queen, then her direct descendants can be treated in the same way as male princes, with royal titles and monthly payments for three generations. How the princess can get the title of queen will be arranged at that time. ”

"As for this royal fund, I intend to take some of it from my private estate. According to my previous plan, Hong'er's descendants and I can inherit 40% of the shares of the industry, and another 10% of them will be used as these funds, I think as long as the royal family does not expand too much, it will be enough. The remaining 50% of the shares in the property can be inherited according to the ability and situation of my children in the future. However, in principle, they only inherit the right to dividends, not the right to control. In the future, these companies will be handed over to professional managers to be responsible for management. Generally speaking, the royal family does not manage it personally. ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's arrangements for those idle royal families, as well as those arrangements for the inheritance of shares and property, this also made them a little mixed. Especially when I heard that Zheng Hong's descendants would receive forty percent, I was even more envious. However, they didn't know that Zheng Hong's children received such a good inheritance ratio, which was based on the fact that Zheng Hong's descendants gave up the right to inherit the throne. Otherwise, it can't be so. However, the situation that the royal title could not be inherited made many women feel unsatisfied.

"Just for life? So why can the heroes be hereditary? Liu Xue said a little unhappily.

Wang Guorui asked rhetorically: "Then what credit do these royal families have for the establishment of the country?" Is it because of blood that they should be raised for generations? If it goes on from generation to generation, then I am afraid that the people will add countless burdens, and then in the end, like the Ming Dynasty, drag the country down? ”

"Then this is only a hundred dollars is too little, right? That's less than our current ministerial salary! Chen Lin said a little speechlessly.

Wang Guorui's treatment as a prince is simply shabby, with a monthly payment of only 100 yuan a month, which is just the basic salary of ministerial-level officials. It seems too "shabby". Compared with the days when the ancient royal family spent money in the past, it was not a grade at all.

But Wang Guorui snorted: "Do you want to eat more white food? You can have more than a hundred, and that is when you have a job, if you have a proper position, you can get that much. A hundred dollars isn't enough, isn't it? This is for them to raise them for nothing, they can get so much without working, how much more do they want without work? I don't want our whole country to be full of ideas in the future, and anyone who wants to live a rich life must work. Don't expect to steal a good tire. In this way, you can also get the wealth of the generations? If you don't work, isn't it enough to get a hundred dollars? You must know that there are many ordinary people at the moment. The monthly income is only five or six yuan, isn't a hundred yuan enough? Even, this 100 yuan is not so easy to get! ”

"All princesses and princes who accept a monthly payment of 100 yuan a month must accept the work arranged by the royal family, and they can't resist. For example, if you accept this monthly payment. That has to come at a price. Their marriage must be arranged by the emperor and cannot be refused. Whoever the emperor asked them to marry or to marry, they must also marry each other, and they cannot refuse. There is no pie-in-the-sky thing in this world, and what you gain must be paid. I don't want my descendants to have an unearned mentality, let alone encourage an unearned mentality to take root. Even if it's a royal family, it can't be unearned, otherwise it won't be earned. In this world, the law of equivalent exchange should be adhered to, and one must pay to obtain something. It may be manual labor, it may be mental labor, and if the royal family wants to obtain this pie falling from the sky, they must also have to sacrifice, which is their freedom to marry. ”

"And what if you don't want to be sent to marriage?" Kang Tongwei asked.

Wang Guorui replied: "Then give up the royal status!" ”

"Abandoning royalty? Can you still give up your royal status? "Everyone was surprised.

"What's so strange? Can't you give up your royal status? I plan to set up a rule in the future royal family, that is, whenever any prince and princess or a side branch of the royal family is unwilling to live this kind of pig-like life after adulthood, then they can take the initiative to apply for the renunciation of royal status. If you are willing to voluntarily renounce your royal status, you can apply for it, and then after obtaining consent, you can voluntarily renounce your royal status. At the same time, he can get a one-time monthly payment for 20 years of his status as a fund for him to start a business. What he uses the money to do in the future, and then whether he uses it to do business, or uses it to do what he likes, it is also their own freedom. And the royal family will not give them any support, everything depends on their own efforts and luck. And if the royal family needs to marry, they will not find them, and they can have their own freedom to marry. The prince who has given up his royal status can marry that woman if he wants, and the royal family cannot interfere. And the royal daughter who has given up her royal status can marry anyone at will, even if she wants to marry a beggar royal family, she can't interfere. Wang Guorui said.

The reason why Wang Guorui came up with this regulation is that he hopes that the number of royal families can be smaller, if the number of royal families is too large, it will inevitably form a huge group, and then devour the wealth of the country. The example of the Ming Dynasty cannot be left unguarded, the huge royal family devoured a large amount of grain, money, land, and then a large amount of wealth was concentrated 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 themselves to provide for their finances, but also allow them to be free.

How many royal families have really been happy since ancient times? At that time, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was raised by the state one by one, but the price was that they could not leave the fiefdom casually, could not engage in agriculture and commerce, and even their personal freedom was greatly restricted. And they have a life of worry-free food and clothing, this is really what they want, do they really feel happy? It seems that this Wang Guorui is not necessarily, and happiness cannot be maintained by wealth alone. If you can really be happy when you become a royal family, then why is there still the famous saying "I wish to live in the emperor's family"? As an emperor, there must be a lot of helplessness, which you can't get rid of and can't bear.

Wang Guorui hopes to give them a chance to get rid of it, a chance to live the life they want, and to be able to pursue their dreams. Instead of being trapped in the "cage" of the royal family, so that you will not be mastered all your life, and then you will not be free. Everyone should have the opportunity to choose what they want to live in life, 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 they will also reduce the pressure on the royal family to provide for them.

"Rest assured, if they choose for themselves, it won't necessarily be a bad thing. Everyone should have their own life to live, not that they should be locked here, which is not good for the country and for themselves. Wang Guorui said soothingly.

These women couldn't help but sigh, obviously they could only accept this result. They knew that Wang Guorui was not negotiable on this issue, because Wang Guorui did not expect that every one of his descendants would be able to live a rich life, it was impossible. Therefore, he must maintain a balance between the interests of the country and his offspring, and it is impossible for him to let the state bear the burden of providing for each of his offspring, so that sooner or later he will not be able to afford it. It will even promote a culture of unearned gains in society, which is certainly not appropriate. It is inevitable that labor will earn income, and if a group of people who do not work hard are formed in this society, it will definitely bring about a very bad social impact. Once the number of one's own royal family is too large, and it becomes a burden to the people of the country, then the revolution will definitely break out at that time. In the future era, 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 obedient people, their people's wisdom will definitely become more and more open, and then when the number of their royal family is too large and becomes a burden on the people of the country, then they will not hesitate to launch a revolution to overthrow their empire, then this is not good.
