Chapter 549 Does the emperor also have a salary?

"Thank you brother, it's so delicious. Did it make it by Dad Liu?" After taking a bite, the sister smiled with her brows and her eyes relaxed.

"Of course, Brother Wei arrived at Liu San's shop and just watched Dad Liu come out for a walk. He finally said that the old man took action. So, Yu Qian asked him to make more, and then put it in this box and put it in the ice kiln. If you want to eat, you can just take it." I smiled and pointed to the big wooden box behind me.

"You kid, you have done so much, it's a lot of money?" After taking a bite, my mother nodded with a smile and said to me warmly.

"Mom, our family is not short of money now. Besides, it's rare for Dad Liu to get the next move. If you don't get more, I don't know when I will taste Dad Liu's skills next time." I also picked up one piece and took it down. It was fragrant and crispy, the filling was soft, the kernel was full of fragrance, and it was not easy to get tooth-stick.

I stayed with my mother and the girl, bragging, drinking tea, and eating snacks, free and happy. Suddenly, it seemed that I had returned to the ease and pleasure of driving away the two prodigal sons and returning to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Talking about interesting stories from the past and having such experiences made me feel that time passes really fast. In fact, this is not an illusion. Life is short, less than a hundred years, but the spirit and culture that have been passed down from the three streams have been passed down and will continue to be passed down, and the same is true for our bloodline.

Looking at the older mother and the lively and charming girl who has grown up and become a mother, I always feel a little unreal. Now, I finally feel that not only I have grown up, but my sister has also grown up.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" My sister looked at me curiously.

"Of course I was thinking that my sister has finally grown up. She is no longer the one who was the one who was in the past and followed me. Haha, in the future, I will be a mother." I smiled and said, with emotion, and also with joy and ease. Time will eventually flow forward, not by manpower to stop it. Since that is the case, then live well, for myself, for my relatives and lovers, for this world, and for this tributary of history.

"Hmph, brother, do you know that your girl is an adult?" Wugui glared at me with some reluctance and a little relieved and said angrily: "Brother, don't forget that although the little sister has been married, she is still the daughter of her mother. Your sister, if you have anything to do, you will know that the little sister said, although the little sister is not successful in literature and martial arts, she is always much more careful in taking care of her mother than you."

Hearing this, I touched my nose awkwardly and smiled. Well, I think this girl was angry that I was going to do something to sacrifice to heaven some time ago. I was not at home, but I didn’t know what happened to her, the dear girl.

Well, not only this matter, but I didn’t care about it several times when I got busy, and I also had less time to spend with my mother. Although my mother didn’t say anything, my sister saw it.

"Okay, Brother Wei knows that he is wrong, good girl. If there is anything at home in the future, Brother Wei will definitely not forget you, sister. By the way, there is also the fifth boy." My words immediately caused the girl to laugh happily. My mother looked satisfied and hugged Wugui, but her eyes fell on me.

"By the way, Wuyi is still studying outside during this period?" Wugui asked curiously.

"Well, yes, this kid is more willing to stay in school. Now he has become a substitute teacher." I nodded with a smile, and my heart was full of pride. My fifth brother in my family is now fully acquiring my master's true teachings on mathematics and physics.

And I am quite interested in architecture. Since I took Murong Changfeng to the Department of Architecture of Chang'an University to serve as a professor, Wu Yi was so impressed by Murong Changfeng that they often squatted together to discuss. Now, Wu Yi has made him move more and more.

This guy might be a great construction engineer and physicist in the future. This would be good, so that this guy would not get hooked on war, which would make people feel troubled. I am just a younger brother, so I must not have something to do. It would be better to have a meaningful construction work, at least the safety factor would be much higher.

I hope that the fifth brother Wuyi would have no ambitions, and it would be best to do healthy research. After all, it is still in troubled times. I don’t want my brother to become a royal child in movies or TV who always seek to seize his brother.

But I don’t think so. One day, I will stipulate the inheritance rights in the Magna Carta. At that time, no one will fight. If you have the ability, just come in line. I really don’t want to stay here for a long time.

"Brother, you are the emperor now. Our fifth brother is considered a prince, right?" The sister blinked and couldn't help asking: "If the prince still showed up like this, would there be anything wrong with it? Could it be that those ministers wouldn't come to find your trouble?"

"What can they do?" This young master smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you something. Sister, you are also a princess now. According to the Constitution of the Chinese Empire, your annual salary is 500 stalemates, another 50 stalemates of rice and fifty pieces of silk cloth. In a few years, the people from the Ministry of Rites will send it to you."

Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise for a long time: "Brother, the princess's monthly salary is only so small? It's not as good as the one-day income of our Quanjude Hotel back then."

"Do you think it's too little? Do you know that in the previous dynasty, the first-rank prince, his salary was only 700 stones, his salary was only 30 stagnant, and he also had twenty pieces of silk cloth. You can calculate it yourself, is it the prince of the previous dynasty or you?" This young master couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Now your salary is the same as the prince and the first-rank official."

"It's so low..." Wugui thought about it and couldn't help but cover his lips and smiled: "Yes, back then, our family had only spent ten yuan a year. If he could get so much money, rice and grain in a year, then life would be very comfortable."

"Do you know, how much is my salary for you?" This young master pointed to his nose, raised his eyebrows at his sister and smiled.

"The emperor also has a salary? Brother, you shouldn't fool me, right?" My sister curled her lips and said in disbelief.

"You are lying to you. I really have a salary for you. It's not as good as the emperor in the past. I stretched out my hand to the national treasury all day long." I glared at the girl and said with great righteousness.

My mother couldn't help but ask curiously: "How much is it?"

"The annual salary is calculated as one ten thousandth of the total fiscal revenue of the country. This year, the estimated total fiscal revenue is about 40 million guan, which also includes the money earned by selling grain. Your brother, my dignified king of a country, has an annual salary of 40,000 guan." This young master raised his four fingers and sang at my sister and mother.

My mother and the girl couldn't help but look horrified. "No way? Brother, why are you thinking of such a way to specify your salary?" The girl gave me annoyed glance and said for a long time.

"Sister, don't forget. If I don't make such a rule, then my children and grandchildren are unwilling to save money for the country in the future, will they go on the old path again?" I sighed and smiled, then blinked at the girl: "Besides, the Constitution stipulates that no matter how much the country's fiscal revenue is in the future, as an emperor, you can get one ten thousandth. Do you think that brother will not increase the tax income of the world for his own money bag?"

"Not to mention those industries under my command, which one of them doesn't make money?" At this point, I laughed proudly.

"Brother, aren't you afraid that your children and grandchildren will not be able to do business in the future?" the sister nodded first, then asked with some concern.

"What are you afraid of? In the future, I will set up a professional foundation to manage my industries. In the future, even if my children and grandchildren do not know how to operate, they will be able to get a large dividend from the foundation every year, which is still enough for him to lose his fortune."

Hearing this, my mother couldn't help but glared at me: "Boy, what are you saying? Who is the prodigal? You don't curse your children and grandchildren like this."

This young master quickly smiled and said, "Mom, of course, I am not cursing them, I am just planning from the worst. Think about it, since ancient times, there has been an old saying that blessings only last for three generations. Why? In fact, it is because those latecomers are content with enjoyment every day and do not know the difficulty of starting a business. So, I am going to create a foundation so that talents who truly know how to do business can get a lot of money from various companies under the foundation. Even if my children and grandchildren don't know how to do business, they will not break the companies that the child has managed to do so because of blind command..."

"...At least in the future, they can have food and clothing. If they want to be prosperous, they have to rely on their own hands to fight for it." When they said this, I was quite moved.

It is a good thing to have many children, but sometimes it is a bad thing. Why are there so many palace fights or brothers killing each other in history? Isn’t it just because of uneven interests?

However, it is precisely because of uneven interests that people have the motivation to move forward.

My mother thought for a long time, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. At most, my mother will only care about your generation. When you reach your grandchildren, you have to rely on yourself."

"Mom, don't worry, my daughter will educate her children well and will definitely not worry you." The sister whispered obediently in her mother's ear.

At this moment, when he heard the footsteps outside the door, Li Yuanfang lifted the curtain and walked in: "Young Master, Shangshu Wu of the Ministry of Commerce is asking for a meeting."
