The details and pricing years are slightly different, so here it is regarded as the same period.

1937 Chengdu price: 1 yuan of ocean can buy 16 kilograms of rice, 17 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of pork, 40 eggs, 45 kilograms of green onions, 47 kilograms of cabbage, or 5 kilograms of sugar.

Information 2, in "Life History of the Silver Dollar Age":

A meal of two chickens (eggs) and an oil cake for breakfast in Shanghai requires four copper rounds. The restaurant is called a plate of green onion and a large dish of roasted rice, a few vegetarian dishes, and two bowls of rice. It is better for two people to eat, and it costs 100% of star anise.

Two people have a meal, and a silver dollar can eat mutton hotpot in Peking.

In Shanghai, you can eat two Western food, take a bus once, and five copper coins.

Information 3, according to the "List of the Middle Class of the Republic of China":

Dong Shiyuan recorded that in the daily expenses of the 25th year of the Republic of China, it took 1 yuan to buy books, a cigarette case, a handkerchief, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. It also took a piece of ocean to buy gray cloth shoes.

It costs 2 cents to take a bath, 3 yuan to buy tea crystal glasses, 2 cents to buy laundry soap. It costs 3 cents to wash the laundry quilt, 2 cents to buy fresh meat, 2 cents to eggs, 5 cents to tell fortune, 2 cents to repair hair, 50 kilograms of watermelon, 2 cents to 2 oceans. In addition, 3 cents to lard and 5 cents to soybean oil.

A newspaper retails 3 copper circles, and a silver circle can only buy newspapers for one month.

One "Scream" costs 7 cents, and you can buy a thicker book or two thinner books for a piece of silver.

If you are chasing girls, it is cheaper to visit the park. You can buy 20 tickets for five copper coins and one silver dollar.

1 silver dollar = 100 copper dollar

However, if you watch a movie, especially if it was just released, it would be expensive. At that time, it would cost 1 yuan and 2000 to buy two tickets to the comedy "Golden Sprint" filmed in the 14th year of the Republic of China.

2. Luxury goods price

Compared with daily necessities, some leather shoes, pens, suits and bicycles are much more expensive.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, a bicycle was sold in Chengdu and cost about 150 yuan.

Camel Xiangzi bought a new rickshaw first-class car for 100 yuan.

Shanghai leather shoes with 2.5 silver rounds.

In 1934, the Central Army imported 18 silver rounds of high-end boots from the United States through Jardine Massachusetts.

Mrs. Liu Jiwen, the mayor of NJ City, spent 25 yuan to buy a pair of stockings.

From this perspective, a time travel article makes money by selling stockings, but it is not groundless. However, earning hundreds of millions is too much. How many noble ladies in the Republic of China can afford 25 yuan of stockings?

Stationery, tobacco and alcohol are also very expensive. At that time, I bought a Kang Keling pen at the stationery counter of Yong'an Company, which was worth 4 yuan.

The "Cigarette King" English "Yalik" cigarettes are packed with 50 iron cans per can, and it takes one yuan to buy them.

The famous three-star brandy, six oceans a bottle.

At that time, this was just a standard "small" fit for riding a bicycle, suits, leather shoes, and pink noodles.

If there were cars as in TV series, it would be expensive. The cheapest car back then was "Pepe Austin", which was a small Austin RV.

This small car is similar to the earliest Xiali. According to the history of life in the Silver Round Age, the price of this car was 1,100 yuan, and the gasoline fee was 40 cents per gallon, but another driver had to use, and the driver's monthly salary was 20 yuan at that time.

If it weren't for a rich man, he could not afford it back then. The Dodge sedan at the same time was 1,595 silver dollars at the discount event. This was the cheapest. The ordinary sedan at that time was generally 2,700-3,000 oceans.

3. The income of employees at that time

The income of senior staff: at that time, I could get about 40 yuan.

In the records of the middle class account books of the Republic of China, as a foreign bank manager, Dong Shiyuan's income includes several parts, including a monthly salary of 25 yuan, a holiday banquet fee of 3 to 4 yuan per Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, and a bonus of 62.5 yuan at the end of the year. In other words, Dong Shiyuan's average monthly salary income is about 46 yuan.

Ordinary staff: The monthly income was only 14-20 yuan, and factory workers were about this level of income at that time. This ordinary staff member was more than ten or twenty yuan a month, which was very difficult.

You should know that the rent was very high at that time. After the January 28th Incident in 1932, renting the cheapest pavilion in Shanghai would cost about 18-20 yuan per month. At that time, if most ordinary employees did not live in the company dormitory, they could only share the rent. The monthly rental cost of two people would account for about half of their income.

And the small employees at the bottom are even more difficult.

When the teacher worked in the Peking University library, his monthly salary was 8 yuan. Although he didn't have to spend rent in a dormitory, and the teacher's support, he was only enough to spend money every month, leaving only a few copper coins.

At that time, the apprentice gave food and accommodation, but only paid two yuan a month, which was barely enough to shave your head, take a bath and buy daily necessities.

4. The income of soldiers during the Republic of China

The income of soldiers in the Republic of China was mixed. There were both capital garrison troops who received double salary, full salary tax police regiments, German-style divisions who received 70% of the national crisis, warlords who received half the salary, and even poor troops who not only did not pay their wages, but could not even afford military uniforms.

General: 800 (usual salary) 240 (national salary)

Lieutenant General: 500 (usual salary) 200 (national crisis salary)

Major General: 320 (usual salary) 160 (national salary)

Colonel: 240 (usual salary) 120 (national salary)

Lieutenant Colonel: 170 (usual salary) 100 (national salary)

Major: 135 (usual salary) 80 (national salary)

Captain: 80 (usual salary) 50 (national salary)

Lieutenant: 60 (usual salary) 40 (national salary)

Second Lieutenant: 42 (usual salary) 30 (national salary)

Warrant Officer: 32 (usual salary) 24 (national salary)

Sergeant: 20 (usual salary) 15 (national salary)

Sergeant: 16 (usual salary) 12 (national salary)

Corporal: 14 (usual salary) 11 (national salary)

Private: 12 (usual salary) 8.5 (national salary)

Private: 10.5 (usual salary) 7.5 (national salary)

Private: 10 (usual salary) 7 (national salary)

According to the relatively high-income old Jiang Deshi, an ordinary soldier costs 7 yuan a month, and a second lieutenant is only 30 yuan. In fact, his monthly income after graduation is 42 yuan, but after September 18, he received 70% of the national crisis salary, which is only 30 yuan. Moreover, not all of the 30 yuan was paid.

First of all, the food cost will be deducted by about four or five yuan.

Then the clothing cost is more than ten yuan.

Finally, we have to deduct five yuan per month for weapons.

After a lot of miscellaneous things, a second lieutenant who just started working had a nominal salary of 30 yuan, but in fact he could only get 5 yuan that month. Of course, this is the first month. Usually, there is only food expenses and weapons money that need to be deducted, which means that he can get 15 yuan home in a month.
