MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 982 People's Will (Part 1)
After Wang Guorui let Liu Feng go down, Quan Zhixian took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the gifts for the two princes and princesses from all over the place have arrived. Do you want to go and have a look? The hundred days of the prince and princess are coming soon. The presents have also arrived, and there will be a special person to judge. According to what you said, the emperor, expensive materials cannot be used, so this time there are no materials that are too expensive. However, there are many unique things. Do you want to go to the emperor? have a look?"
"Oh? Got it?" Wang Guorui asked.
Wang Guorui knew that the 100th day of his son Wang Jiaxing and daughter Wang Jiaxin would soon be here. Previously, Wang Guorui asked the people to make various gifts, and then sent special personnel from various places to collect them in the capital. Then anyone who gets the top ranking can get a lifetime title. Even if the title is only for life, and there is no so-called fief and bonus, even the privileges cannot be compared with those hereditary titles of the founding of the country. But this is enough to attract many people who have money but no status, or those who want to achieve higher development. In particular, this title will play a big role in the future. With this title, most local officials would not dare to mess with you easily. Even if a crime is committed, it must be heard by the Supreme Court, and the local court cannot hear it.
So this honor certainly attracts many people, and it cannot be exchanged for money. So at this opportunity, everyone came here one after another hoping to obtain the title, and even if you give gifts to the prince and princess, you can get these titles. Even if the hope is not high, it is still worth fighting for. After all, the cost is still relatively low, and it won't be like those other things that have to follow the world or make great contributions.
Wang Guorui came to a large warehouse, where there are gifts from all over the world, of course Wang Guorui should take a look first.
"Your Majesty, here are all kinds of works of art, not made of too expensive materials. But..." Jun Zhixian was a little embarrassed, obviously it was difficult to say the following words.
"What's wrong?" Wang Guorui asked.
Wang Guorui stipulated that the material cost of these gifts should not exceed three yuan, and for future generations, it would be less than one thousand yuan. In this way, Wang Guorui just hoped that he would not wantonly accept gifts through various birthday banquets, especially those gifts made of expensive materials, which would be "too vulgar". It's definitely not worth it to get all dressed up for this gift. Therefore, the value of this gift material must not exceed three yuan, so as to avoid excessive waste and advocating extravagance.
Luxury goods are not conducive to economic development, let alone social mentality. Therefore, luxury goods can be kept as little as possible, and even a luxury tax should be considered. This will not only curb the trend of luxury, but also play a role in robbing the rich and helping the poor. However, Wang Guorui obviously underestimated the ability of the Chinese to take advantage of loopholes.
"Your Majesty, although the material value of these gifts may not be high, the cost of making them is definitely not low! Your Majesty, look at this copper ware, although the cost of making this copper ware is not high. But many handicrafts cannot Just look at the price of the material, but also who made it. This copper sculpture is hollowed out in the middle, and there is a machine inside, which can walk by itself. And I probably heard the introduction, this technical difficulty is very Even ordinary sculptures and technicians cannot do it. I am afraid that the craftsmen who make this internal movement are very high-level craftsmen even in Europe, and the cost of making a craft like this is definitely not less than five hundred yuan."
"And there are many similar things. Although the price of materials is not high, they are all made by famous masters, so ordinary people can get them. Of course, those famous craftsmen also stated that they are free to make, so if these are strictly calculated, the cost It is indeed very low. But behind the scenes, who knows if there is any deal?"
Wang Guorui really smiled bitterly. This Chinese man is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. He just stipulated that the price of materials should not exceed three yuan, but he didn't expect these guys to be so shrewd, so he directly hired those senior technicians to make it. This kind of cost actually looks very low, but in fact, if those famous teachers are included in the production, the cost is already many times higher than the cost, and it is simply impossible to measure. But what can Wang Guorui say, should he pursue the production cost? People have clearly stated that they are free of charge, so there are many ways to bypass this method.
For example, if they don't sign any sales agreement, they can use the so-called gift relationship to avoid this law. Just like the inheritance and transfer of real estate in later generations, those close relatives can reduce the total price and secretly conduct transactions in a gift relationship, which can achieve a lot of "tax avoidance". Any law has loopholes, so Wang Guorui also understands. Such a guy took advantage of loopholes, so Wang Guorui had no good solution. It is also impossible for Wang Guorui to directly pursue it with them.
"I won't talk about this~ www.novelbuddy.com~ Let everyone evaluate it at that time." Wang Guorui didn't say much, this kind of person is no longer seen too much by Wang Guorui, those who deliberately seek profit, like this Wang Guorui was also quite dissatisfied.
Quan Zhixian next to him understood Wang Guorui's meaning very well, and these were actually telling them that such people who deliberately took advantage of loopholes should not be judged as the top few. Especially this kind of guy who drills. After all, this time the emphasis is on novelty and intention. This kind of special invites famous masters to make it, so what is it? In fact, Wang Guorui hoped that ordinary people would make it by himself, and find those famous teachers to make it. In the final analysis, this is too utilitarian. Although some of those who participated in this so-called gift were not utilitarian. But this one was made by a famous teacher, and it looks too ugly to eat. Even if it's for utilitarianism, don't eat too ugly, otherwise what will people do in the future?
Therefore, there is no need to keep those who have been invited to make by famous teachers, which is actually of little significance. The 100-day banquet for my children this time is actually to allow the royal family and the common people to interact, rather than simply making it a competition whose gifts are more valuable and whose artistry is higher. The key is the mind, as long as the mind is realized, even a not-so-artistic thing will not be unable to be valued. If you spend money to invite those famous teachers to make it, it will be inferior.
