Wang Guorui suddenly came up with an idea, that is to prepare some gifts for his two newly born children in the future, that is, to collect gifts from the people all over the world. This gift actually represents some wishes of the subjects of the world. Strengthen the interaction between the royal family and the hearts of the people, and increase the presence of the royal family in the hearts of the people. ※%※%, don’t think that this sense of presence is not important. If the royal family no longer has a sense of presence in the hearts of the people in the future, it will be very dangerous. At that time, anyone could come to the city to change the king's banner once, and then inexplicably changed from an empire to a republic. This is not impossible. Once the royal family loses their sense of existence in the hearts of the people, the people will not feel their existence at all, which is very dangerous.

Especially in the future, the royal families of almost all countries on the earth will live like walking on eggshells. Doesn't even the British royal family often "explode urine" on the news? Even if there is no news, some news is often made, such as a certain princess gave birth, or a certain prince has a scandal! There are even pornographic news with some celebrities, in fact, there are all kinds of things, and it is very easy for gossip reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world to dig out. Even the things of the royal family are mostly news, so let them inquire about them.

The news media want news, and the royal family actually hopes to gain a sense of presence through these news media. This sense of existence is extremely important. We must let the people of the world often hear the existence of our royal family, and let the common people know that this royal family is on their heads, so that they can have a sufficient impression, so that when the time comes, some It is not so easy for people to turn an empire into a republic.

And this inevitably requires the interaction between the royal family and the common people. This interaction is actually very simple, that is, it is diverse. For example, Wang Guorui thought of collecting gifts this time as a method commonly used by British people in later generations. What is the queen's birthday, what is the birth of the prince and princess. They will also solicit gifts from the common people or the international community or even countries in the Commonwealth system. Then everyone used various methods to pay homage to the queen's birthday, or various princes and princesses, and then sent their own blessings.

This is actually a very important interaction, letting everyone know that the royal family is still here, and giving them a cohesive force. Such interaction through some activities has greatly strengthened the communication between the royal family and ordinary people. This made them have a great relationship. In this way, after the royal family and ordinary people get closer, they can let the people support the royal family. This is the most important means to ensure that the royal status will not be lost. Otherwise, once the status of the royal family is lost, those who hold economic power behind them will often lose their cohesion, and eventually become unmaintainable.

Don't think that the royal family has no power, but as long as the members of the family are still on the throne, it means that most people will be scruples about the influence and dare not attack you casually. Although even the emperor of the other party's royal family may not have the power directly, but once they lose the throne. Then those bureaucrats can kick you out at any time. Although Cao Cao knew that the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no power, why did he choose to coerce the emperor to order the princes? In fact, even an emperor who has no power is still valuable. As long as the other party does not have absolute power and the people's support, they will not dare to abolish you, the emperor.

In fact, the future royal family is to gain the support of the people through showing off, and then use this so-called nominal throne to maintain the privileged interests behind it. And the privileged interests of the other party can further feed back the royal family and maintain the image of the royal family. This made the image of the royal family deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then the bureaucrats didn't dare to do anything to them casually. This throne without power. That is also of great value. Even if it's just a false throne, it's enough to make people scratch their heads.

"Jeon Ji-hyun, hurry up and prepare for this task, then prepare for me, and then start preparing to solicit gifts. These are solicited from the whole people, and then the next fifty days will be in the solicitation period. When the solicitation period is over, our royal family will People will be sent to various places to collect various gifts, and a comprehensive review will be conducted in the last 20 days. Then some creative experts will conduct a review, and after the review is completed, awards will be made. We can reward gifts with good ideas. And award lifelong Honorary knighthood. Whoever wins the first place will be awarded the lifelong non-hereditary Marquis of Founding County. The second and third place will be awarded the lifelong non-hereditary county viscount, and the fourth to tenth will be awarded the lifelong non-hereditary county baronet. "

Wang Guorui issued a reward, and then indicated that he would be awarded an honorary title. In fact, this honorary title cannot be hereditary. This honorary title is only for life, and there is no so-called fief. At most, when a crime is committed, the central court must be responsible for the trial, and other local courts cannot conduct criminal trials against nobles with titles. Of course, it is not because of the knighthood that criminal punishment is not required, and the trial at the central level court only represents authority, and it is also to avoid too much fear from the judges of those local courts, so that the central level court The court's trial can not only represent the importance it attaches to Xungui, but also prevent Xungui from using his political resources to interfere in the judiciary. The courts at the central level are very authoritative, and all forces are also staring at them. It is more than a little bit more difficult for you to interfere in the judiciary. Even the judges of the central court may not pay attention to those nobles, and their identities are also different. Not bad, this guarantees authority and avoids interference.

But even if this honorary title cannot be hereditary, it is enough to drive many people crazy. Titles are only available at the founding of the country, especially only those who have made great contributions. Currently, those who hold titles are Wang Guorui's women. But for Wang Guorui to give her the title of a woman, in fact, it will land on her descendants sooner or later, so it is not for nothing. Anyway, the title of the future royal family is relatively less valuable than the title of a hero. The title of the royal family is relatively low compared to the title of the hero. Therefore, Wang Guorui gave his women a higher title, in order to get better treatment for his future children. This way everyone understands, so I didn't say much.

However, this honorary title is definitely what many people who wish to improve their social status are looking forward to. If this news gets out, it will definitely cause many people to go crazy. Even having this honorary title means that they have a seat in the House of Lords. Although they may not have much real power, they will definitely be five people and six people when they go out, and they are not something ordinary officials can offend. So this is enough to drive people crazy.

"Your Majesty, what is the standard for this evaluation?" Quan Zhixian asked.

Wang Guorui said: "Of course, novelty must be the standard for this selection, but it must not be too extravagant and wasteful. The maximum material cost for this gift must not exceed five yuan, especially gold. Silver and other precious metals, not to mention jewelry and jade, and all precious materials are not allowed. If expensive materials are used, no matter how exquisite they are, they will not be able to participate in the selection and be eliminated directly. This time we want to pay attention to our intentions, not to show off our wealth. And this gift will also set up an exhibition hall, dedicated to the exhibition of gifts received by our royal family members for various reasons. It represents the blessings of the people to our royal family, It is also to let the world see our people's innovation ability, art appreciation ability, etc. This time, it will definitely not focus on expensive gifts, but innovation and art. Don't make this smell like money, That would be bad!"

There is no need for Wang Guorui to make a fuss about those valuables. If Wang Guorui accepts gifts made of precious materials this time, such as gifts made of gold, silver, jade, and jade, then he will have a bad habit of accepting gifts casually. ~lightnovelpub.net~ Is Wang Guorui short of money? He has no shortage, but if these valuables are casually collected, it will cause a lot of trouble. And once the royal family started to accept such expensive gifts, wouldn't all kinds of bureaucrats follow suit in the future? If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, once a valuable gift is received, it is easy to get involved with bribery and bribery.

Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, Wang Guorui did not need to take the opportunity to collect these expensive items, so for them to focus on creativity instead of the so-called expensive. If the royal family's gifts are so full of the smell of copper, what's the point? As a royal family, the first thing to value is elegance and art, not so-called preciousness.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty actually knew that many works were imitations, but he still collected them and wrote inscriptions. In fact, he is very aware that these are fakes, but he also recognizes his artistic value, and will not look down on him just because he is a fake. Since even Qianlong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could know something, how could Wang Guorui not know it? Art does not lie in the preciousness of materials, but more importantly, in mind and creativity. If we only pursue the preciousness of materials and all kinds, it will make the whole society vulgar and unpursued. Although art seems useless, it is absolutely impossible to deny its importance to human progress. Of course, with the popularization of culture, many people also call themselves artists, which in turn destroys the image of real artists. However, it is not possible to give up eating because of choking, which negates the importance of artists. (To be continued.)
