Chapter 1572 Su Yonglin is actually quite rich

Throughout the second half of the 12th year of Hongwu, apart from dealing with military affairs, Su Yonglin devoted most of his energy to the organization of the Central Representative Conference and the People's Representative Conference.

The number of representatives of the Central Committee is limited, so it is easy to solve the problem.

People's representatives are not the case. Every province, every state capital, and even every county in the country must have appropriate representatives. The number does not need to be too many, but three to 4000 people are needed. If it is more, 5000 people may not be the base.

This is also the first national public representative meeting. If this system is successfully implemented in China, it will be needed in every province and even every state capital in the future.

This democratic right cannot only appear in Zhongdu. The local government also has a certain power of autonomous administration, and their actions also require strong supervision. A local people's representative meeting is also in Su Yonglin's plan.

But at present, it is still necessary to organize the first meeting as soon as possible, make a sample for the whole country, and accumulate some experience.

Therefore, Su Yonglin, as the chairman of the Revival Association, kept in touch with all parts of the country to arrange for the representatives of the people to go to Zhongdu, either by land, by water, or both.

At the same time, because it was too late to start building the venues needed for a thousand-person conference, Su Yonglin decided to use local materials and use the imperial palace as a symbol of Ming's farewell to the imperial era.

After all, Daming is a democratic republic anyway, and it is inappropriate to keep the imperial palace as the seat of administrative organs.

The place needed for the people's representative meeting is very large and very wide, so Su Yonglin decided to use the Wanmin Hall as the basis for the reconstruction, and transform the Wanmin Hall and the large square in front of the Wanmin Hall into a meeting place for the people's representative meeting.

The number of people at the Central Representative Conference was small, so Su Yonglin took out the Hall of Mental Cultivation as the basis for his daily handling of government affairs and rebuilt it into a venue for the Central Representative Conference.

The two palaces are just one after the other, belonging to an entire building complex.

Only the properties are completely different.

Not only that, but Su Yonglin doesn't plan to keep the name of the so-called imperial palace, nor will he continue to live in the palace. He plans to leave the palace with his family and buy a property in Zhongdu City as a residence, just like other officials.

In addition to the necessary parts of the palace being reserved as the seat of government offices, there is a part of Su Yonglin who decided to open it up. As a museum, it is open to the public across the country. Everyone is welcome to come and see what the palace looks like.

Since it was decided to depose the emperor, it would be most appropriate to move out of the palace and live outside without leaving a single thought.

As a symbol of oppression and exploitation in the era of imperial power, the important buildings of the palace are used by the public, and other parts are used as museums for the public to watch, which is wonderful.

Su Yonglin personally supervised the work and participated in the discussion on the reconstruction of Wanmin Hall and Yangxin Hall.

In addition, he started to choose his future residence in Zhongdu City.

In the end, he chose a place very close to Xin Qiji's home and Kong Maojie's home, which was still an open space. He bought it with his own money, and then decided to hire someone to build the house himself.

Su Yonglin is actually quite rich, and looking at the whole of Daming, he can be regarded as a rich man.

Of course, he was not as rich as he imagined, because he did not buy royal properties, and he had barely saved any money earlier, but only used the royal funds provided by the Ministry of Finance, and he did not even have a money bag institution like Shaofu.

At this stage, Su Yonglin was a complete pauper and had no personal property.

Later, he began to write books and sell them in bookstores, such as "Hongwu Political Theory" in three volumes, "Su Yonglin Selected Works" in two volumes, and "Su Yonglin's Stories Selected" in one volume.

Because these are national bestsellers and even the entire Greater China region, and even the countries of the Western Regions will buy them, so the sales volume is huge.

Because these books are Su Yonglin's personal works, Su Yonglin earned a lot of income from the royalties from the book sales. After paying taxes, it is his personal legal income.

After the third major purge, he decided to eliminate the emperor's sacred attributes, so he proposed to pay the emperor a salary. Of course, his salary was the highest in the country, so this became Su Yonglin's second personal legal income.

Of course, it's all after-tax and clean.

Whether it is the Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance, the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society, or the Imperial Court, even if they go together and use a magnifying glass to examine one number at a time, they will definitely not find any problems.

Apart from these two fixed incomes, Su Yonglin has no other personal income.

All the financial revenue of the imperial court belongs to the national treasury, and he does not take a penny, no matter how high the financial revenue is, it has nothing to do with him personally, and his personal integrity is beyond doubt.

As for his family, which is actually his wife's family, the Zhao family, it is also very clean.

Zhao Xirui is the director of the Women's Department of the Renaissance Society and has a good salary.

Zhao Zuoliang served as the minister of the Central Shangshutai and had a high salary.

The second son, who is the head of the judicial branch of a certain state in Hexi Province, still has a salary, and the eldest son, who is farming in his hometown, has a farming income. The third son is still studying law at the University of Political Science and Law, preparing for the imperial examinations. Only spend money, no income.

In addition, the Zhao family has no other income. It is clean, and the annual income is voluntarily submitted to the auditing department for review, and there is no problem.

Therefore, in a broad sense, the Su Yonglin family is also very clean, without any property problems.

Both Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui's income are managed by Zhao Xirui, and their daily expenses are mainly on the children. They buy some mother and baby products for the children, and some are specially customized.

Neither Su Yonglin nor Zhao Xirui themselves are the masters of spending money, and their daily consumption is also very limited.

After Su Yonglin received his salary, the so-called imperial kitchen was his personal expenses, and had nothing to do with the state. It was the biggest expense of their family.

But compared to the Su family's family income, these expenditures are small numbers, and it doesn't matter.

So after so many years, the amount of savings belonging to this family of four is still quite considerable. It is not difficult to buy land and build a house, and it can even be said that it is more than enough.

After moving out of the palace, Su Yonglin plans to further simplify his life.
