Liu Mingqi is naturally not a person from this time and space.

In ancient Eastern countries, there was no way to invent things like poker.

Even if it is invented, Arabic numerals and JQKA cannot appear here.

Speaking of which, he was also unlucky.

He was an orphan and grew up eating hundreds of families in the village since he was a child. He just worked hard to study and kept getting scholarships to support him in his studies.

After 20 years of hard work, after obtaining a double doctorate in physics and chemistry, he has received offers from two top domestic companies, with annual salary starting from 1 million yuan.

He was about to reach the peak of his life of marrying a rich and beautiful woman and having a baby. As a result, he drank a few more drinks at the cocktail party celebrated by his friends. After waking up, he arrived at this inexplicable time and space.

This is the Great Kang Dynasty, a dynasty that Liu Mingqi had never heard of. Obviously, this kind of time travel not only chaoticized time, but also changed time and space.

The origin of the body he occupied during the time travel is not simple. He is the only son of the youngest younger brother of the emperor, Prince Yu, who is the prince of Prince Yu, named Liu Mingqi.

Liu Mingqi, 16 years old this year, has been fond of climbing trees and stealing birds and eggs, and goes into the water to catch fish, and causes some minor trouble from time to time.

Two months ago, he went to the river outside the city to catch fish, but accidentally encountered a tangled water and grass. When the guards hurriedly rescued him, the prince Yu had actually returned to the underworld, and replaced it with this soul from another time and space.

When Liu Mingqi opened her eyes, she knew something was wrong. Where did a beautiful woman in ancient costume cry when she hugged her and cried? Then she was sleeping in a magnificent and ancient house?

After finally exploring the environment he was in, Liu Mingqi's spirit completely collapsed.

If it were another person, he would be the same as him.

With a BMW, you can sit in an air-conditioned room and drink coffee while working, flirt with girls, go to the bar for a casual look after get off work, or use your mobile phone to browse interesting things happening around the world, and absorb various news knowledge.

From such a modern life, I suddenly changed to an ancient era where there was no toilet even. I could only use toilet chips to use toilets. Who would be willing to use it?

Even as a little prince, such a life is not easy!

Fortunately, Liu Mingqi was able to grow up by eating a hundred families and became a top student all the way, and her spiritual will was not something she could do.

After being decadent for a while, he regained his mentality and began to consider how he should survive in this era.

He can't do it if he doesn't cheer up.

The beautiful woman who hugged him and cried as soon as she woke up, was the mother of this body, namely Princess Yu.

Seeing his son forgetting a lot of things like he was amnesia, Princess Yu was frightened. She guarded her son every day except for sleeping, chatting and talking patiently with him, talking about everything in the past, and praying that her son would recover.

Thanks to her, Liu Mingqi learned a lot of information about this world and the situation around her.

To be honest, Liu Mingqi, who was an orphan in her previous life, felt warm in her heart when she was loved and cared for by others.

Although he didn't want to recognize her as his mother immediately, he still liked Princess Yu very much and regarded her as a close elder around him.

Compared to Princess Yu's meticulous care, the father of this body, Prince Yu, has a bit of subtle feelings for his son.

If it weren't for Princess Yu's talk about it, Liu Mingqi wouldn't know that this father, who only visited him once a day, actually went to the restaurant at home in person every day and arranged for them to make what they like to eat to deliver.

The composition of Prince Yu's mansion is relatively simple, with only Prince Yu, Princess Yu and Liu Mingqi's family of three.

Prince Yu is not very good-looking. Princess Yu has given birth to Liu Mingqi in so many years, and Prince Yu has not taken another concubine because of this.

When Liu Mingqi heard this news, she felt relieved. The most troublesome thing about these noble and wealthy families has always been the struggle for power and profit by brothers and sisters.

Now that I am the only child, I will avoid misunderstandings and reduce many worries.

The small environment is stable, at least Liu Mingqi is happier than 90% of her time travel predecessors.

So what about the environment?

Many place names in this world are the same as the Chinese land in their previous lives, which gives Liu Mingqi a lot of familiarity.

The Dakang Dynasty inherited the turmoil of the previous dynasty and established the throne. It has been more than 80 years since its founding. After eighty years of rest and recuperation, and God has been appreciating the face, it has been good weather for seven or eight years, and Dakang's national strength is constantly increasing.

But in recent years, I have not been so lucky. For example, the severe drought in the west five years ago, the major flood in Guangxi the previous year, and then the super typhoon in Fujian last year. Every time, millions of people were affected. The treasury's silver was spilled out like water splashing, greatly consuming the accumulated financial resources.

In fact, there were not so many people who were originally used. Liu Mingqi knew about the emperors of all dynasties, and they were all "in their capacity" to provide disaster relief, and they would not care about it if they were sent. Thank God for one tenth of the victims who received assistance.

Jing is different from the emperor. He not only saves all the people as much as possible, but also sends imperial guards to guard and provide disaster relief. This cost is much greater than that of other emperors.

Therefore, the consumption naturally increased several times or even dozens of times. The national treasury and internal treasury were visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the wealth of the money, it would have been a headache.

The Great Kang Dynasty is in the thirty years of Jinghe.

Since taking office at the age of seventeen, Zi has been kind to others, strict in discipline, and has repeatedly reduced taxes and reduced burdens for farmers. He has repeatedly made every effort to rescue disasters, which has been very popular among the people.

How did Emperor Jing He treat his relatives from the royal family?

The answer is equally good.

It was not just Emperor Jinghe, but the ancestral system of the Dakang Dynasty was to take good care of the royal family as much as possible. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the royal family must not be killed.

In the past eighty years, no member of the royal family has been killed by successive emperors.

One hundred and thirty-nine royal families were stripped of their original titles for various reasons and became the lowest viscount among the royal family titles, but they can still be said to have no worries about food and clothing.

Most members of the royal family can enjoy a rich life for the rest of their lives.

The Great Kang Dynasty was not as hard as the Ming Dynasty, and it could not even pay the salary of the royal family.

On the contrary, the Dakang Dynasty always treated the royal family with preferential treatment. In addition to a fixed and generous salary, it could receive various rewards during festivals.

Take his father, Prince Yu, for example. Prince Yu and Emperor Jinghe not only have the same father, but also the same mother. The old empress dowager in the palace is also Liu Mingqi's grandmother.

Except for the twenty or thirty years that just founded the country, I really couldn't afford to spend more money. Since 60 years ago, the children of the royal family have received double salary.

The salary of the prince of the Dakang Dynasty was "the annual salary of 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 hu of rice."

In plain words, you can give 10,000 taels of silver a year, plus 600,000 kilograms of grain. Among them, you can choose how much wheat and rice you want.

There are only three people in the palace of Prince Yu, who are connected to Liu Mingqi’s family of three, but there are only more than 300 people. Six hundred thousand kilograms of grain are distributed to more than 300 people. Each person has two hundred kilograms of grain per month. How can he finish eating it?

Not to mention that King Yu received a prince's double salary. In addition to the 20,000 taels of silver, he also received 1.2 million kilograms of grain.

Because she couldn't finish her meal, Princess Yu, who was good at managing her family, simply started a restaurant business a few years ago and opened a total of five restaurants around Gyeonggi. The business was pretty good, and the surplus was several thousand taels of silver every year.

Yes.

Although the royal family of the Dakang Dynasty did not allow participation in politics, they were allowed to do business, and the tax rate was very low. According to different levels, it floated between thirty-one and fifty-one.

This is also a kind of compensation. Compared with our Ming Dynasty pig farming policy, it is really much tolerant.

Although a prince earns less than 30,000 taels of silver a year, the money from the Dakang Dynasty is still very valuable.

This year, the price of rice in Beijing is slightly more expensive, with an estimated rice of 18 cents per liter. It was placed in the Jiangnan area of ​​the large granary, and the price was only seven cents.

It is enough for adults to eat one liter of rice a day. The annual cost of an ordinary family of three in Beijing on rice and grain is only 19,200 cents, totaling 19,200 taels of silver.

The above speculations are a bit too ideal.

How can ordinary people eat rice every meal?

The common people in remote places have mixed rice with some mixed grains, some wild vegetables or their own vegetables, or two steamed buns at a meal. Five taels of silver in a year are enough for all the expenses.

Excluding food, King Yu's annual salary plus business income of more than 20,000 taels can be called wealth.

In addition, every year, during large festivals, celebrations, etc., the emperor and the empress dowager will reward hundreds of taels and thousands of taels at every turn. The accumulated ten thousand taels a year will definitely be stable.

The income of Prince Yu’s Mansion is not just that.

Liu Mingqi, who was named Prince Yu at birth, also received a salary according to the etiquette system, which was "annual salary of 6,000 taels of silver and 6,000 hu of rice."

Such a salary is one level higher than the "annual salary of 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 hu of rice" of the county prince.

Unfortunately, there is no **** in the Dakang Dynasty. The next generation of the royal family members must be demoted until the Viscount. Otherwise, Liu Mingqi's descendants will be able to receive the salary of the prince and the prince in the future, which would be really happy!

Putting aside this unrealistic dream, every time the emperor and the empress dowager give rewards, as a nobleman officially enthroned by the Dakang Dynasty, the prince also has a share, and he can get almost 5,000 taels a year.

Of course, these incomes have been taken by Princess Yu for so many years, and it is called saving his wife's book for him.

After Liu Mingqi, who had traveled through time, received such a reply, he finally understood that no matter which dynasty or space, his mother was born to deceive children.

But Liu Mingqi didn't care either.

Princess Yu can satisfy him any expenses he has to spend on weekdays and is not short of money at all.

Liu Mingqi, who was used to hard life in his previous life and often struggled with whether to buy a bowl of porridge or two steamed buns to satisfy her hunger, was still very satisfied with her current state of endless spending money.

At least expensive mutton buns are enough.

Based on the above situation, Liu Mingqi has a new plan for her future in life.

In Dakang Dynasty, he was one of the top groups. Dakang Dynasty was very tolerant of the royal family and never killed. As long as he did not encounter alien monsters, he would definitely be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.

Since that’s the case, I was so hard in my previous life but had not had time to enjoy myself, I would definitely be as comfortable as I could in this life. It doesn’t matter if I am a happy rice worm that lets me go!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the happy days of carrying a bird cage and taking seven or eight foolish slaves out to tease the little girl and the eldest daughter-in-law are a bit exciting.

Second, the Dakang Dynasty did not allow the royal family to discuss politics, but could do business, which gave itself the opportunity to display its strengths. After all, it was modern. Is it difficult to do some business with modern knowledge and become a contemporary Tao Zhugong?

At any time, the more money the better. Dakang Dynasty never punished the royal family because of the more money they had.

Third, in this world, I no longer have the pursuit of utilitarianism. I have no chance of being a top scholar in the juren and Jinshi, so I must not treat myself badly in terms of quality of life.

The first thing to do is to get excited and celebrate your happy time travel!

...

Note: In ancient times, there were many ways to exchange coins, and a copper coin could be used to create a variety of tricks. This book takes the exchange rate for normal years, that is, the official 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 jin of silver = 10 jin of copper coins = 10,000 copper coins as units of measurement. The private exchange will be slightly different, and I will write it carefully in the subsequent plot.

In addition, the weight conversion of "jin-two-money" is actually changing because in ancient times, each jin is equal to jin. In order to make everyone closer to modern life, this book takes a unit of measurement of 1 jin (500 grams) = 10 taels = 100 coins; including distance units, sometimes more intuitive "rice", "cun", "zi", and "zhang" are used together in the narrative, and it is also easy to understand. I hope you can understand.

By the way, the annual salary above was taken from the Qing Dynasty. The annual salary of the royal family in the Ming and Qing dynasties was very different. There were too many specific numbers, so I won’t list them one by one. However, compared with the royal family of the same level, the annual salary of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty was definitely 5 to 10 times that of the Qing Dynasty. In the late period, the old Zhu family had such a heavy burden and was not invincible.

In the Qing Dynasty, the royal family did not become a burden to the court. It can be said that they were still very good at learning from experience and lessons. Even the hard-core crops of the children of the bannermen were not as exaggerated as in the books. Otherwise, since Qianlong, countless bannermen would have taken the initiative to escape from the flag and would not have had this iron salary.
