Who is Rich !
King RajRajshekhar was ruling in South part of India and he was a very good king ,always thinking about welfare of his people.The taxes were very less,Poor people were exempted fron all type of taxes and very nominal taxes were imposed to the common men.Though Rich were on finger tips and they used to hide their real properties and money so that could pay less taxes.The King knew this,His Chief Minister Someshwar was very intelligent and very loyal to the King,and used to convey about those rich people.
A Kingdom’s all development depends upon the taxes and King did not want to take taxes from Poor or common People,Instead of it ,He wanted to take taxes from rich and provide development to the poor and the common man.He wanted some more schools,some more hospitals for them and for that he was in acute need of money.
Someshwar suggested a scheme to him,he knew all the rich will come up through this scheme,like butter from the milk.The King listened and agreed.
Next day morning it was announced that,Who ever will be the richest in the state will get a Prize he had never even imagine,but he will have to bring all his money to show to the court so that it could be decided easily who is really rich.
Hearing this announcement all rich people thought the surprize gift may be 50% part of the state,or a very big piece of land or might be marriage with the princess.
Fifty rich people arrived there early in the morning with their money full of bullock carts.Someshwar already had arranged young people to count the money as fast as they could.Up to the noon they counted all and now the noted figures were in front of the king.
The Court started,King and all the courtiers withall the rich men were present.King started speaking ,”You all say you are rich,can you buy life for ever ? they all said”No”King continued I tell you how can you live alive for ever,If one strong building is built in the name of each one.And used for the welfare of people,You will be blessed with healthy and happy life if people bless you for this good deed.
Now from each once money a school or a hospital or an inn ,or digging one well,will be done.And the complete maintenance will be done by him,by his son,then by his grandson and so on.The Kingdome’s officers will check it time to time.Every building should be of good quality,all the works will be done under Someshwar’s guidance.
