Chapter 720 Let's squat together after the fart
"Since Qin, all dynasties have had the example of chasing the emperor's ancestors, so I hope your majesty will allow it." Wei Zheng, the judge who represents the dignity of the Chinese Empire's Legal Committee, also stood up and said in a fierce manner.
It seems that in their eyes, these ancient rituals should be followed and cannot be eliminated indiscriminately. What is important is that this represents the concept of benevolence and filial piety in Chinese culture.
I was sweating, thinking about it, and I just wanted to seal it. Since I wanted to seal it, I would seal it. Then, a group of people began to chatter and enthusiastically discuss how my family's unmasked ancestors should seal it.
Then I started looking for my ancestors, Khan. As soon as I found them, I was really shocked. My grandfather's grandfather Changsun Zhi was the King of Wenxuan of Shangdang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and my grandfather's father was Changsun Yu, the official Weiwei Shaoqing, and was granted Pingyuan Qibo, while my grandfather was Changsun Yi and the General of the Cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Then there is my father, Changsun Sheng, Duke of Qi of Sui, and General of the Right Guard.
However, at my request, I was granted only three generations, namely my father Changsun Sheng, grandfather Changsun Shi, and great-grandfather Changsun Zhi.
My father was Emperor Taizu, grandfather was Emperor, and great-grandfather was Emperor Great-grandfather. Well, it was done in the way of the former Sui Dynasty, so as to save me from being busy and busy. The important thing is that doing this not only follows the convention but also makes people have nothing to say.
However, the ministers said that the prince was very thunderous. After confirming the titles of these three ancestors, some ministers jumped up and asked for an order to gather all the ancestors and bury them in Guanzhong.
This young master expressed his opposition extremely strongly. My father stayed in the cemetery well. Could it be that he would be dug out and moved around? It's too nonsense. This is a typical theory of digging ancestral graves. This young master firmly rejected the ministers' proposal.
However, these guys are still not giving up. I hope that I can choose a place to think of future generations now. To put it bluntly, Your Majesty, you should plan for you and your descendants. So, please choose a Feng Shui treasure land quickly. We can take advantage of the opportunity that there are many refugees and many workers in Guanzhong now to build your cemetery. In this way, if Your Majesty, You are so lucky, we will stuff you into the cemetery, which is more than clean.
I'm so angry, damn, how old is now? I'm in my early twenties, a white and tender young man, can't I prepare a cemetery for me now? Isn't this curse me, an excellent young man who travels through time, dies?
But the problem is that countless ministers looked solemn, as if I was not like this, I would be sorry to the country and the people. Even my uncle looked for granted and stood on the side of the minister.
After the court was scattered, I asked my uncle to stay and wanted to make up for a lot of knowledge about being an emperor. Fortunately, my uncle was very knowledgeable and explained the matter clearly.
Since ancient times, even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, once the princes ascended the throne, their tombs would begin to be built. This has been even more so since the Qin and Han Dynasties. Just the simple four words are enough to say nothing about ⊥, at least these ministers are not wrong, so it is not wrong for ministers to ask for the tombs to build them.
"But uncle, you must also know that building a tomb will cost less than one million, and it will cost at least more than ten years of labor for more than five years, or even ten years. If you really have so much money and so much labor, then at least one cement straight road can be built throughout Guanzhong."
"Wuji, what you said is indeed reasonable, but the problem is that as an emperor, if he did not build a tomb before the New Year, it would be inconsistent with the feelings and the reason would be inconsistent with the truth." My uncle shook his head and sighed and smiled bitterly.
I rolled my eyes. "Uncle, if Wuji has built a tomb, then since my father, grandfather, great-grandfather and others have been posthumously respected, do you mean that they have to cultivate too? In this way, if Wuji is tired of becoming the emperor one day and abdicate my son, then does he have to cultivate too... Just calculate, there will be five tombs here, which will require 50,000 people and 5 million yuan of capital to achieve success."
Listening to me calculating the accounts with the wrench, my uncle's forehead was getting more and more cold sweat. He kept wiping his handkerchief and expressed his surprise from time to time. "Wuji, the account should not be calculated like this. Think about it, the former Emperor Wen of Sui started to build the imperial tomb from the date of ascending the throne. So, after all, after this, it only cost 120,000 to 100,000 yuan a year, and the working hours per year will not exceed three months."
"Uncle, no matter what, you can't deny that it's just that it's spent so much money and labor, right?" The young master spread his hands and looked helpless. The uncle could only nod helplessly in his agreement.
"In addition, if I do this, then my children and grandchildren will definitely follow this in the future. What if there is a financial difficulty in my Changsun family one day?"
"I have already written the law before. If the other wealth except the salary I should have had nothing to do with the empire, then I cannot use it in the slightest." I stroked my eyebrows, with a look of sorrow.
"Uh, I almost forgot about this big thing." My uncle finally came back to his senses and gently patted his forehead with annoyance.
Well, as the emperor of China, he can only withdraw a very low proportion of funds from the treasury every year to make the emperor's salary. This amount of money is less than the net profit income of all the trading companies under this son's son's hands.
If you want to collect the mausoleum with a cost of one million yuan, you will have to expect a salary of nearly a hundred years. Although I am very rich, the money is all income from business, which comes from my business mind and economic talent.
What if my descendants and descendants lose all their property in the future? In the end, they can only receive this little death salary pitifully and want to build a tomb, that's totally nonsense.
My uncle looked at me speechlessly. It seemed that my uncle had already understood my difficulties and couldn't help but frown and think hard. After all, not every emperor, you ask him to be wise and powerful.
So, it is not a problem for me to plan from the worst.
"Uncle, don't underestimate this money. If in the future, the imperial tombs of the Chinese Empire will be funded by the state treasury, what about the ministers? Should those ministers who have made outstanding contributions to the country also be funded by the state?"
But if you have to play high-end and superb construction of a cemetery, you have to follow the ancient Spring and Autumn system, then you may not know how much taxes the Chinese Empire have to spend to make such a thing.
At least in my eyes, such things are absolutely not feasible. What specifications and sizes are all nonsense. Think about it, after the 21st century, countless professional and non-professional tomb robbers have crazily excavated the five thousand years of civilization history in China.
If there are a lot of gold, silver and treasures inside, it would be even more amazing. The tomb robbers would have dug one or two cleans a few hundred years ago. I am afraid that even the bones were thrown around. So, no matter how big or good the tomb is, how useful can it be?
"It's a headache... I said Wuji, you really have such a problem for me." My uncle looked depressed, and it seemed that he couldn't find anything good to ask for.
"Uncle... If so, if I put the imperial tomb in the Hall of Heroes, what do you think?" My eyes rolled around several times, and after thinking about it, I finally thought of a solution that was not a solution.
"Hmm?" My uncle frowned and thought for a while. "Can this method work? Although the Heroic Spirit Hall has a wide range, it is probably a lot of money to expand the imperial tomb?"
"It's okay, the imperial tomb doesn't need to be so exaggerated. When I was alive, I pursue simplicity. Could it be that after I die, I will still pursue luxury?" I smiled and waved my hand. I told my uncle what I thought.
My uncle frowned and thought for a long time. After thinking about it, hesitated. I threw another bombshell. "Uncle, I am still preparing to bury those civil and military officials who have made great contributions to the state and beside the emperor. Although these accompanying monuments must not be much greater, I am preparing to set up a statue of glory for everyone who is buried beside the emperor."
"Waiting for the body portrait?" My uncle didn't quite understand, so I could only explain patiently that the body portrait means that people first paint the appearance and posture of these ministers, and then carve them according to their actual appearance and body standards.
It will not be like the ancient stone statues of all the ministers who were buried with each other were carved out in the same mold. In addition, pavilions will be set up for their bodies and their merits will be recorded in them for future generations to remember and admire.
My uncle was swaying and was fascinated by his heart. Finally, he thought that I, the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire, was really good at calculating. In this way, how could the world's civil and military affairs not be able to fight for their own destiny? Even his elder, who was as fame and fortune as a cloud, expressed to me very reservedly and implicitly whether he could squat with me after he was a huh.
Of course, I agreed, thinking that my uncle's management of Jiaozhi was able to retain a guide to the Indochina Peninsula for the Chinese Empire and persuade Qiu He to allow the Chinese Empire to grow and grow in the South Ocean. In addition, my uncle not only has outstanding literary achievements, but also extraordinary martial arts. Since the collapse of the previous dynasty, all the hostile forces that intend to get involved in this important area of Jiaozhi were pinched by my uncle and fled in a panic, which was a great achievement.
In the end, my uncle, who was relaxed and happy by my son's flattery, understood what I meant by me. The Temple of Heroes, now many people are envious, jealous and hated. Especially the soldiers, they all yearn for being by their comrades after they grow old.
Similarly, the civil and military ministers were eager to establish enough merit for the empire and to bear the incense of all people in the Hall of Heroes in the future.
