Chapter 23 Li Yunfei's Prospects
In fact, it is not only Li Yunfei who doesn’t know the value of ancient currencies, but many people don’t know it. Everyone is watching the lot of money spent in the novel, but you should know that the output of silver in ancient times was not much. If you spent money like that in the novel, you would probably have gone bankrupt long ago!
Most people today have no idea about the value of silver. In fact, there was a lack of silver in ancient China. After reading some ancient books, you can find that the currency value of one tael of silver was quite high. One tael of silver was equal to more than 1,200 liters of money (before the early Qing Dynasty) to more than 3,000 liters (after the Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty). Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, a pound of pork (equivalent to 1.2 pounds of pork) was only twenty cents, and a mu of fertile land was only seven to eight taels of silver or twelve or three silver dollars. A few taels of silver and dozens of digits of silver were a big deal. A hundred taels of silver was a big deal today, and one hundred taels of silver was able to buy more than ten acres of fertile land.
In the Ming Dynasty, a civilian's life was only one and a half dollars a year, so Qi Jiguang's soldiers' military pay was only three cents a day, and less than one and a month was less than one and a liang. The slightly more expensive in the Qing Dynasty was mainly due to the large foreign trade surplus before the Opium War. After a large amount of silver inflow, the price of silver fell. Later, after a large amount of compensation, the price ratio between silver and copper rose again. Ordinary people used copper coins, and copper coins were used in the late Qing Dynasty, and silver was rarely used for daily transactions. Many people had never seen silver until their deaths. Therefore, when they spoken, they used "copper coins (dian) without "there was no " when there was no money (poverty). It should be noted that the annual income of the treasury reached 2 million taels during the Wanli period, and it was a figure that was only rich after the reform of Zhang Juzheng.
According to historical records, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, you can buy two stones of rice of average quality for one tael of silver. At that time, one tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which is 377.6 kilograms. Now the rice eaten by ordinary families in my country is between 1.5 yuan and 2 yuan. Based on the intermediate price of 1.75 yuan, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty can be calculated as RMB 660.8 yuan.
If this tael of silver was obtained in the Tang Dynasty, it was even more terrible in terms of purchasing power. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, material civilization was extremely abundant. A dou of rice was sold for only 5 cents. Usually, one tael of silver was sold for 1,000 coins of copper coins (also known as Yiguan), and 200 coins could be bought. 10 dou was one stone, which was 20 stones. One stone in the Tang Dynasty was about 59 kilograms. Based on the general price of rice today, one tael of silver was equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 4,130. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the rice price rose to 10 dou, which was also one tael of silver = 2,065 yuan.
In other words, Li Yunfei bought these jewelry and the money spent on creating these earrings would cost more than two million yuan in the future. This is something Li Yunfei dared not think about. Unfortunately, Li Yunfei doesn’t know at all now, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to be so generous if he killed him! But according to what Li Yunfei thought, this 500 taels would cost at least dozens of kilograms. He didn’t know whether the money he had on himself was enough. I guess gold should be a little more valuable than silver!
"Boss, please see if these are enough? If not, I'll go back and get them!" Li Yunfei poured out all the things in his wallet, and it suddenly became golden. In fact, these things were secretly given to Butler Li Shimin and then supplemented Li Yunfei's household expenses. Li Yunfei's father is a blessing! He thought of everything for his son, but unfortunately, he was not sure that Li Yunfei would not know how much worse fatherly love is than motherly love.
"This... these golden leaves!" The boss didn't know what to say! Apart from a few broken silver, the rest were all golden leaves. This person is really rich, but he didn't know the reason why wealth was not revealed. In fact, he wronged Li Yunfei. After all, Li Yunfei didn't know the value of these golden leaves at all. The value of gold was originally dozens of times the silver. Moreover, it was necessary to make such exquisite golden leaves, which would increase the value to dozens of times. Using golden leaves was also a symbol of identity.
The shop owner has never seen rich people, nor has he met noble officials, but it was the first time he had paid the bill with gold leaves. He even confirmed that Li Yunfei's identity was extremely noble, "This... these are enough!" The boss trembled and picked up five golden leaves. For him, these are all treasures and must be treasured. Looking at the perfect lines and clear lines of the golden leaves, he made a lot of money this time!
"Uh! Are these enough?" Li Yunfei didn't expect that just these leaves were worth 500 taels of silver. Seeing that there were dozens of them, Li Yunfei couldn't help but wonder how a housekeeper could have so much money? But since it was arranged by his father by his side, he probably wouldn't harm him!
"Yes! Young Master! You actually lose money like this, let's see what else you like in this store? As long as you like, you can just take it!" The store owner quickly put the golden leaves into Li Yunfei's wallet. It was not that he didn't want it, but that such a person is really unaffordable as a mere businessman!
"That's it!" Li Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly and slid the folding fan back and forth on his chin, which made him look unique, making Xiao Lajiao and Li Qingshu's eyes lit up, "This way! How about I want to cooperate with you to do the jewelry business? Then we can open the store all over the country!"
"Think about it, the name of Debao store is echoed all over the earth. Every girl will come to your store to buy jewelry. Think about it!" Li Yunfei thought that Butler Li was going to do business? Then just make a big one! Let Butler Li take care of the account at that time, isn't it great if Xiaolian manages the accounts? He also becomes a Xiaoyao little prince!
"This...is this possible?" Li Yunfei's words confused the store owner. This is impossible! He swears that he never had such a big ambition, but now if Li Yunfei supports him, it should not be difficult with his identity!
"How is it impossible? You have also seen the drawing paper I gave you just now! Tell you that they were all painted by me. As long as you cooperate with me, I promise that Debao will become the leader in leading the trend of the Tang Dynasty!" When Li Yunfei said this, an infinite momentum emerged all over his body, which forced everyone to re-examine Li Yunfei. This was not Li Yunfei's sudden change, but his confidence in his self-confidence as a person in the 21st century and something popular in later generations. If you don't believe it, you can't deal with these ancient people!
"This Qin King is really a unique flavor when he is confident!" Xiao Lajiao looked at Li Yunfei and thought secretly. He didn't expect that this man would have such a side. He used to think he was just a weak man!
"Brother Yunfei is indeed very human!" Li Qingshu looked at Li Yunfei with a bright look. With such domineering aura, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have!
"This! OK! I did it!" The boss finally gritted his teeth and agreed to this matter. Thinking about those beautiful earrings. This kind of thing is not working, it depends on how capable this person is! "Young Master, please tell me how we cooperate?"
"That's it! I'll have someone talk to you when I come back, but this share of money! We have to finalize it first!" Li Yunfei didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Since the matter has been finalized, we have to talk about the profit share of money carefully!
"Young Master is joking! In the future, our store will rely more on the young master. You are going to make a sketch and a certain amount of money. You must be the young master. This is how you are seven and three, do you think?" The store owner has this self-knowledge. With this ability, he must have made a temporary decision. If he doesn't take the opportunity to hold this strong thigh, he will be a fool. Don't look at these 30% of them, if he is really as Li Yunfei said, he will make a fortune!
"This is decided!" Li Yunfei sweated secretly. He originally wanted to share the profit of 50% but he didn't expect that the store owner was so easy to talk to. Since he said that, he had no reason not to agree! Let Butler Li talk about the details in the future! He really doesn't have this ability, maybe it's okay to give advice behind the scenes!
