To be honest, from Liu Mingqi¡¯s personal point of view, it doesn¡¯t matter if he loses a little on the emperor¡¯s favor quota.
The clan and the nobles have to lose money when they buy the quota of Shengjue, and the interest is in. Why can't the court lose money?
You spend all the money you have in the next few decades for now without paying any price. How is this possible?
And this loss is only relative to the overall situation of several decades. At this moment, at this juncture, there is no loss at all!
It can solve imminent big problems, resettle tens of millions of disaster victims, and can bear any losses.
Moreover, with this money, we can also use the rest through various investments to offset the interest loss cost - just like taking a loan to buy a house, the real estate appreciates, and the loan becomes money!
But Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t dare to say this, and he didn¡¯t want to use the money to help the court invest.
Do you know the story of Shen Wansan?
Or maybe we should read more about Hu Xueyan¡¯s story?
For such an extremely sensitive matter, it is better to do less than to do more.
But there is one thing to say.
In ancient times, it didn¡¯t seem unusual for emperors and courts to take advantage of other people¡¯s affairs without losing money, and no one thought it was wrong.
??Moreover, to be specific, this business is not that easy to do.
From the perspective of the clan, the three titles that can be promoted are duke, marquis and earl. Viscount is already the lowest, so there is no need to buy one.
The most valuable and most valuable thing is actually the Duke.
The Duke¡¯s price is too low, which is definitely not in the interest of the court.
That¡¯s why the ministers set a sky-high price of eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
But the Duke is not necessarily the most profitable.
You must know that because the clan members are of the royal family, they must be separated from the country, and at least they must be viscounts, so they will not lose the support of the country.
The nobles are different. Even if you are a Duke with great military exploits, your descendants will one day become ordinary people.
"Furthermore, nobles can only have one son to inherit the title, but not all their children can obtain the title, even if they are downgraded by two levels, they are not qualified.
So in fact, nobles have a greater demand for titles.
It¡¯s just that they won¡¯t be greedy. It would be good for an ordinary family to buy one more viscount. If they can¡¯t afford it, they can buy the lowest baron because it is for the sake of their children and grandchildren.
Of course, wealthy first- and second-generation families will definitely want to buy a duke or marquis, so that at least four or five generations can enjoy the support of the court, as well as business benefits, and will not be expelled from the ranks of nobles. outside.
Many members of the former noble families who have become civilians have been ignored in this way.
Therefore, except for the richest families, those lords who are barons themselves are actually the happiest and most nervous people.
They have no qualifications to become barons, that is, they are no longer members of the nobility. Even if they have some traces of their ancestors, they will be completely excluded from this circle in one or two generations at most.
It can be continued for one generation now, and it is very likely to continue again in the future, which is really great!
This means that they may always be in the aristocratic circle and always be higher than others.
"Tell me, how eager are these nobles to buy it?"
" If Emperor Jinghe and the court were evil enough, many people would buy a baron title for 300,000 taels.
But it is a pity that the emperor and the court bosses still have integrity and do not completely get into the eyes of money.
According to what Emperor Jinghe just said, the price of being promoted to the title of baron is 150,000 taels of silver.
" Compared to the salary of a baron, the price is slightly high.
But in modern terms, people who are in immediate need must buy it, and price is not a problem at all in their eyes.
If there are problems, they must be overcome!
This is called a necessity!
¡¡
Liu Mingqi was right. Apart from the sons of the princes at the top who wanted to get the title of duke, the most urgently needed group of people were the barons at the bottom.
After the news spread, the barons in the capital who were from relatively good families gathered together in small groups.
For example, Xue Jiagui, a man from Lishan who is in the salt business, Wu Biyu, a man from Anxun who is in the furniture business, and Wu Biyu, a man from Anxun who is in the fur business.It's so expensive, I definitely won't be so stupid to buy it, so I have to give them a hard time. "Wu Biyu said, "Let's stick to the original plan then! My ability as a father is limited and there is nothing I can do! "
"Who says it's not? I also have three in my family. If I have the ability, I would like to give them a thought." A rough man like Zhai Biao also showed a trace of tenderness at this time, "Three of them who had no hope at all , have been promoted to the position of baron, my life is considered complete."
??Everyone nodded heartily.
On the one hand, there is unlimited hope, but on the other hand, it is a high price that is very likely to be unbearable.
This reason is also very simple. If the price is cabbage, does the emperor need to spread the word first?
He just told me how much it would cost!
Now the emperor is watching everyone¡¯s reaction.
Just like what the four people discussed just now, if there are too many fierce objections, maybe the emperor will shrink back and never mention this matter again.
This is something barons like them, whose next generation will become commoners, cannot tolerate.
So it¡¯s hope, speculation, joy, and worry. It¡¯s really hard to describe this feeling! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
