Many clan members, especially Li Ke's uncles, have their minds spinning. After all, these are closely related to them.
"Sanlang, in other words, in the future our next generation won't have any title titles or anything like that?" Li Yuanchang thought for a while and asked.
"No, to be precise, all the things originally prepared for them are gathered together. The royal family does not care about your own family property, but all people who belong to the clan will be registered directly, and the clan will give them to them every month. Send a sum similar to a monthly payment.”
"But the money is not much, and the whole thing that is concentrated together will continue to invest externally and open trading firms. All the profits earned will be deposited and withdrawn to maintain the entire fund firm."
"When an outstanding clan member appears and passes the assessment, he will receive the greatest support from this fund firm. For example, if he wants to set up his own firm, the fund firm will provide him with a sum of funds. If he wants to do academic research , just like the craftsmen under my name who have received honorary titles, and become a top craftsman whose name will go down in history, and who may even be canonized by future generations, then the Fund Trading Company will provide him with research funds."
"And those mediocre clan members, who are even just waiting to die, can only be ordinary people who have no worries about food and clothing." Li Ke said lightly. "Because, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his possession!"
At first, these clans were a little confused, but as soon as Li Ke, a common man, said that he was not guilty and harbored the jade, they were stunned for a moment, and they understood a lot in an instant.
Having a huge family property is definitely not a good outcome for those who are incompetent. On the contrary, ordinary people who can maintain a comfortable life and have enough food and clothing may live longer if they are given a sum of money every month.
As for the protection provided by the identity of the clan, Li Yuanchang and the others are not fools. Some princes dare to plot, and your clan is nothing. What's more, Li Ke is talking about their descendants. Many, and at that time, the clan would be even less valuable.
"But your highness, what you said about business and craftsmanship...isn't it a very low-level behavior?" An uncle couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, the Tang Dynasty has reached this point, don't you still think so? Look at those aristocratic families, which one has given up on the business industry?" Li Ke sighed, a little helpless. The aristocratic families have been promoting this for generations. One of them It is to control businessmen and make these businessmen dependent on them so that they can do business and help them work.
The second reason is that they have also mastered knowledge, and they have enough outstanding talents from concubines and even married women to do these jobs, so they don't have to worry about their dominance.
But in fact, from the wealthy business families of the Han Dynasty to the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty today, do you really think they don’t know the importance of business?
"Moreover, uncles, haven't you ever experienced the dilemma of not having money? People from wealthy families are low-ranking promoters, that's because there is no shortage of them! Ask those poor families, what do they think?" Li Ke added One sentence.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
"Although money is not everything, you can't do anything without money. You need money to do anything! So, you must not underestimate your talent in business. I won't brag to you. If I didn't have the ability to make money, You want to come to me for a shop today? Do you have this chance? You don’t have this chance, so you can only find a way to join forces with those powerful families."
"And you need to look at other people's faces. You are not on equal footing with them, or even higher than them." Li Ke looked at them and said.
The clan members took a deep breath. In fact, they have always been bound by old ideas, but when Li Ke said this, they could not understand why, especially since Li Ke used himself as an example, they could not understand. come out?
"Secondly, craftsmen, do you really think craftsmen are humble? Uncles, please excuse the harsh words, nephew, you can leave a name in history only because you are my grandfather's son, and you are half as good as yourselves. Money has nothing to do with it. In the history books in the future, you will be mentioned in just one sentence. But those craftsmen, those top craftsmen, will be passed down from generation to generation by the people, and may even be canonized!"
"To give a straightforward example, what is Dr. Hua Tuohua's status now? How many clans of the Han Dynasty do you know? Don't you still understand?" Li Ke was helpless.
These people's minds are really too rigid. Of course, Li Ke also changed his concept. After all, there was only one Hua Tuo, and there were so many doctors in the Han Dynasty.
Li Yuanchang and the others took a deep breath. Li Ke had made his words straightforward enough. If they still didn't understand, there was something wrong with their brains.
"Sanlang, we all understand." Li Yuanchang nodded and said, "I personally have no objection to your solution. I can support it, and the rewards for our children can be taken back and invested in the Tang Dynasty royal fund. Come."
"We also support it." The other people thought for a while and agreed simply. In fact, the reason why they agreed so happily was because they themselves were not affected. As for the children... This has been the case in China since ancient times. Parents always have very strict requirements for their children and think that their children are supermen.
And I also hope that they can get better, and Li Ke's education method for future generations can indeed make up for the shortcomings of many future generations who have nothing to do all day long because of their status and environment.
"No, our reform must start from the next generation. Once the rewards are awarded, there will be no way to take them back." Li Ke shook his head with a smile.
Li Yuanchang kept thinking about it, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Even though he was actually the same age as Li Chengqian, his child was as old as Li Tai's child, already five years old. Li Yuanchang became a little angry when he thought about his son's tendency to be spoiled.
"Your Highness, when will the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty you mentioned start? As soon as it starts, I will send my son to it. If he dares not to study hard, I will leave him hungry when I am about to die. With immortal money, he will donate most of his family property to the Tang Dynasty royal family fund! I see he doesn’t work hard!" Li Yuanchang said fiercely.
Li Ke almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Don't tell me, this seventh uncle is quite thoughtful and actually told Li Ke's subsequent arrangements.
The Datang Royal Fund set up by Li Ke has this function and accepts donations from members of the Tang Dynasty clan.
Hehe, in the future there will definitely be those who are angry with their unworthy descendants and will donate all their assets. It may not be much, but it definitely is.
And there are other ways for them to donate. For example, if they use taxation and donate to the royal fund, they can be exempted from part of the tax. Isn't this great? Of course only within the clan.
