??Throughout the ages, if you want to find the most courageous group of ordinary people, you usually find them in the capital.
" Take modern times as an example. Taxi drivers in Beijing can talk about the Nine Elders, the American God of Sleep and the King of Understanding, and by the way, they are also concerned about the situation of the world in the past century.
The title of a member of the Civilian Political Bureau is definitely not a wasted one.
It was the same in ancient times.
Because there are so many things that come into contact with officialdom, every family has a third aunt, an eighth aunt, a brother-in-law, a son-in-law, a son-in-law¡¯s father¡¯s sister such wealthy relatives.
So everyone who chats is bound to brag, especially in teahouses and restaurants.
Sometimes I talk with great joy, and everyone listens with interest. Some people even come to bring a pot of tea or a dish.
Isn¡¯t this the same as modern times?
But what these people talk about are very superficial things, most of which are rumors and rumors.
Those who can really get in touch with the important things above usually chat in a relatively private place.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out of consideration for this group of wealthy businessmen and nobles in the box of this "Jewel Tea House".
Including Xue Jiagui, a man from Lishan who is in the salt business, Wu Biyu, a man from Anxun, who is in the furniture business, Ke Xiaobai, a man from Pingdong, who is in the fur business, and Zhai Biao, a man from Guangzhong, who is in the fabric business.
These four nobles appear very frequently, but they are indeed very representative. They are both businessmen and nobles, and their network of relationships is quite wide.
They are all in-laws, and they do business and take care of each other, so naturally they can talk more casually and the scale can naturally be larger.
Anyone who has some ability but is not in the center of power usually likes to talk about high-level matters.
The same goes for these four barons.
In the business world, they are basically good, but in politics they are seriously lagging behind, and they are only the lowest barons.
There is no guarantee for honor.
So after their generation, the sons became ordinary people.
They were a little worried before, thinking that without the noble circle and reputation, it would be inconvenient for their children and grandchildren to do business, or that they would become poor people at the bottom of society in two or three generations.
This has nothing to do with whether you can make so much money.
No matter how much money you have, as long as you meet someone who will ruin your family, the same generation will ruin your fortune.
This is also the reason why those old and fat people in later generations worked hard to send their children into the official establishment of the civil service.
As long as there is income from the national drought and flood guarantee, there will be a guarantee.
The title is actually equivalent to the guarantee given by Dakang.
No matter how low your title is, you will always be a noble in this country. No matter how little it is, we will give you some money and food every month, at least enough to survive.
¡°That¡¯s how they are now.
Under the Dakang system, "The baron's annual salary is three hundred and sixty taels of silver and three hundred and sixty hu of rice."
It is equivalent to giving thirty taels of silver and one thousand eight hundred catties of rice (or wheat) every month.
Then every year during the Spring Festival, the Queen Mother or Queen will give another reward equivalent to double the annual salary, which means sixty taels or 3,600 kilograms of food a month.
Although this income is only equivalent to a small part of their current income, it is enough for food, drink and life.
And as long as you live, there will be a typical drought or flood every year, and you will never starve to death.
This is a guarantee that the worst case scenario will happen, which is consistent with the mentality of a parent.
What should I do if my children and grandchildren fail to live up to expectations?
We must at least ensure that they can survive! ?
Previously, they had no way to continue the titles of their descendants, because this was stipulated by Taizu, and they had to be demoted in sequence, no one was exempted, including the prince of the empire.
But the year before last, because the court was really short of money, the emperor Kaien issued a "gift order", allowing them to use money to worship, and get a son with a title that is one level different from his own, and the same level as a viscount or below.
They are barons, so what they can buy is a baron.
The price of the baron was not cheap, it was 150,000 taels of silver, but these barons bought it immediately, and they bought more than one.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is definitely not worth it, because with that meager salary, it can barely be recouped in a few decades.
But the barons are businessmen and they know how to settle accounts.
Although this money seems to be a loss now, it is the greatest guarantee in the long run. It is better than letting the children and grandchildren directly squander it, right??Characteristics, so he is also respected.
?? Hasn¡¯t the Emperor begun to compromise recently? Prince Ning has entered the Ministry of Rites and helps the Minister of Rites handle affairs. This is unprecedented! Which clan member has entered the imperial court before? This means that it is almost settled. "
"Then why don't you talk about it?" Wu Biyu asked.
"Who can tell clearly until the last step of the matter?" Ke Xiaobai shook his head and said, "If King De is still the prince of Prince Yu, it would be easy to say, but now he suddenly becomes King De again. This is favored by the emperor. This pampering is truly extraordinary! In addition to the relationship between Prince Yu and the Emperor, it is the Emperor¡¯s opinion that the Prince Ding shall prevail. Until the last moment, we still don¡¯t know who will win.¡±
"Where is King Wu?" Wu Biyu asked.
"Him? He can't even become a general, let alone an emperor!" Ke Xiaobai said funnyly, "It's just that his contribution was too great before, so he was rewarded with a prince title in advance! The imperial court And the common people, no one likes a militaristic emperor! We'd better pay more attention to the follow-up of the other two princes. "
"Tsk, tsk, doesn't this mean that I will have a good show in the future?" Zhai Biao said with a smile, "Anyway, whichever one of them takes that position will be good for us, Lao Ke, are you right?"
"right!"
Ke Xiao nodded and said, "This is something that smart people don't worry about. Even if His Highness King De becomes emperor, the world will be stable, so don't worry."
"Wow¡¡"
"ah¡¡"
While everyone was talking, there was a sudden noise outside.
Xue Jiagui, who was sitting by the bed, opened the window next to the window, and the sound became clearer.
"Your Majesty is happy! Your Majesty is happy!"
"The three empresses in the palace are pregnant with dragon fetuses! I am so lucky to be well! The world is so lucky!"
"Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to the world!!"
""
Hearing the sound of these gongs and drums shouting, Ke Xiaobai, who had been calm just now, turned a little ugly.
Both King Ning and King De will be good emperors.
But if it were a child emperor who didn¡¯t understand anything
It¡¯s hard to say what will happen in the future!
