"Hahahaha, I heard that those British people are all blue-faced. This time, we have directly demonstrated all their methods, so that some idle and crazy newspapers in the British government will definitely come out to criticize them. Aren't they exalting the so-called freedom of speech? We let him see where their freedom of speech goes. Don't think that those guys put down the butcher's knife and pretend to be gentlemen, so that they seem to be civilized people. But they are all butchers in their bones, and they only have fat in their eyes. They pretend to be civilized people, but they are just like our vassals and elegant, but in fact they are just embroidered pillows. Wang Guorui said very disdainfully.

However, Jun Ji-hyun didn't make any comments, she still followed her daily requirements, and then prepared to send the documents in.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet suggests that we prepare a New Year's celebration in a few months' time. This time, the cabinet plans to organize a celebration well, and the estimated budget is 10 million yuan. Jun Ji-hyun took out a document and said.

In fact, the parliament is also controlled by Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui wants him to pass, but no one dares not to pass. Of course, in order to put on a show, there will still be people who will come out to "oppose", so as to embody the so-called "democracy"! However, this New Year's celebration is indeed spending, and it will cost 10 million yuan, and this cost must be approved by Wang Guorui's opinion.

"Ten million yuan? Is it worth such a cost? Wang Guorui asked.

This 10 million yuan is not 10 million in later generations, this 10 million represents absolute gold, and one yuan is a gram of gold, not the cheap one yuan in the past. So Wang Guorui also feels that it is too expensive, this 10 million yuan is really too much. This 10 million yuan, if converted at the price of gold in later generations, is probably not less than 2 billion yuan. Two billion yuan is indeed a lot. Even if it is 2 billion yuan in later generations, although many countries have more celebrations than this. However, the times are different, and the economic level of the 21st century is many times higher than that of the current era, so although it is 2 billion yuan in comparison, it is not the same for future generations and for the economic capacity of this era. At present, the fiscal revenues of all countries in the world are certainly not comparable to those of the 21st century, so this is certain. In this way, spending two billion yuan worth of wealth to hold a celebration in this era is indeed a lot higher than the total economic output of each other.

But Jun Ji-hyun said something even worse. said: "Your Majesty, this is only the budget for the New Year's celebration at the central level, and if you count the cost of counting at all levels at the local level, I am afraid it will increase by more than five times!" ”

"What? Spending so much money? Do you need it? Wang Guorui asked.

Wang Guorui didn't like this kind of face-saving project, because he also hated this kind of government's face-saving project very much, after all, these were all spent with taxpayers' money. So this celebration is so grand, the cost must be not small. What's more, if this continues, once officials are accustomed to spending lavishly, no amount of finance will be enough for them to spend. And there are too many celebrations. It will make those officials have some false and empty ideas, and deliberately make all kinds of ridiculous things for the sake of so-called political achievements.

Jun Ji-hyun nodded and said: "The central level is not to mention, the cost of conducting New Year's parades, various parades and other affairs is not low, and according to the custom, some salary increases and some daily necessities should be given to officials and civil servants of departments directly under the central government during the New Year." This is still an official's, and in the orphanage under the imperial court, there are also subsidies for some school students, the New Year's goods of some school students, and even the expenses of various lonely and widowed old people. There are also government organizations for some people who cannot go home for the New Year to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinners and so on. That's why it's really going to cost so much. This is still omitted as much as possible. ”

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No need, right? In addition to raising the salaries of officials and civil servants in various departments, there are also some lonely elderly and students. It's better to be frugal for the rest. What year is the New Year's celebration not held? In the past, the Manchu rule was not so expensive! ”

Wang Guorui is also a little worried, if the cost is too big this time, it will not give a bad impression. You must know that the Manchu era rarely had such a time to break the bill, and he had just opened the country, so if he broke the bill like this, I am afraid it would not be appropriate. Since ancient times, many founding emperors have advocated frugality. That doesn't work well for them

However, Jun Ji-hyun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this time is different!" This is your first New Year after ascending the throne, if this first New Year is not good, how can you show your achievements? Ordinary people are busy with work on weekdays, and their daily work and life are just busy with some things around them. If we don't use this celebration, how can we reflect the difference between the new imperial court and the excellence of our new China? It can't reflect the emperor's contribution to the people after the change of dynasty? On weekdays, the people may not know it, only the celebration can be uniformly displayed! ”

Wang Guorui thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is really the truth! Although this is suspicious of face engineering, it seems that it is still indispensable. Especially after the change of dynasty, of course, a lot of face projects have to be done. For example, slandering the former dynasty is a common routine. And there is also a routine that is to do some face engineering, especially after the new emperor ascends the throne, the country and the people are safe, and then the so-called celebration is held to show that after the new court rules, that is called a country and the people, and that is called a good.

Which court does not claim to be for the good of the people, and if it does not make some ceremonies, how can it prove its prosperity? Through this kind of celebration, it is normal and natural to show that you have replaced the previous dynasty. Therefore, this New Year's ceremony is actually a show, and it is a time for the front to benefit the new court. Let the people see that Wang Guorui's replacement of the Manchu Dynasty is good, it is for them to live a good life, not as rotten as in the past.

Although Wang Guorui claimed to be the legal system that succeeded the Ming Dynasty back then, in fact this was only used as a political tool. The Manchu Qing Dynasty ruled China for more than 200 years, and it was impossible for the people here to have so-called feelings for the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of almost all ordinary people, in fact, Wang Guorui overthrew Manqing and gained the right to rule. In fact, in the final analysis, inheriting the legal system of the Ming Dynasty is just a means, in fact, almost many people understand what is going on. The people don't care about this, they actually recognize the Manchu Dynasty much higher than the Ming Dynasty, and more than 200 years is enough time for people to forget the so-called Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, this time to change the dynasty, it is necessary to show the "kindness" of the new court, so as to buy the hearts of the people. This kind of face-saving project exists in all dynasties and generations, and some people do not have face-saving projects in foreign countries, but in fact, there are definitely a lot of face-saving projects for foreigners. Later, the London Olympics were not also sprayed into a face-saving project by the British themselves? In fact, the face project also exists in all eras and different countries, so it can be completely eliminated if you don't want to.

"It seems that this first New Year's celebration really can't be saved?" Wang Guorui asked.

Jun Ji-hyun replied: "It's true that I can't save it, I can save some in other years in the future, but I can't save it this time." This is the first New Year for the emperor to ascend the throne, so if he saves this time, the people will not leave a good impression. After all, this is the first time to change the dynasty, if there is no good situation, how can you let the people see the emperor's achievements? ”

Since Wang Guorui is like this, he also simply said: "Since this is the case, then we will be smaller in the next few years, and we don't need to make so many huge ones." And this kind of military parade is enough once every ten years, and there is no need to parade every year. There is a military parade every year, and our financial resources can't stand it! ”

This kind of large-scale event is very expensive, and if you don't have enough financial resources, don't do it. Normally, regular events once every ten years are fine, but this time it is the first New Year of the founding of the country, so you might as well make it grand. In this way, the people can truly see the changes of the new dynasty, so that they can have a real sense of belonging. If nothing has changed since the change of dynasty, it will be much more difficult for them to have a sense of belonging. So a good celebration is also a very good solution. However, it is also possible to save money in this specific way.

"How can we achieve the effect of saving wealth, but also achieve a better effect? With so much expense, that's not a problem! If you rely on government investment alone, it is indeed very expensive, and if you rely on the government to spend money on every large-scale event, it will definitely lose money in the end. Wang Guorui began to think.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say it? In fact, such large-scale activities and even wars may not necessarily lose money, especially for the stimulation of some industries. Perhaps, we can use this method to stimulate the economy! In particular, if we can stimulate the economy through this kind of activity, it is not necessarily a bad thing, especially at present our economic structure is not too stable, if we can promote consumption to drive light industry and the like, it will also be of great benefit to the stability of various industries in our country in the future, so spending money is not necessarily a bad thing. Jun Ji-hyun said.

"Oh?" Wang Guorui was a little surprised. (To be continued.) )
