In fact, it's not just Li Yunfei who doesn't know the value of ancient currency, but many people don't know. Everyone sees a lot of money spent in the novel, but you have to know that the output of silver in ancient times was not much. If you follow the situation in the novel,
If you spend money, you will probably go bankrupt long ago!
Most people today have no idea how much silver is worth. In fact, there was a shortage of silver in ancient China. After reading some ancient books, you can find that the monetary value of one tael of silver is quite high. One tael of silver is equivalent to more than 1,200 coins.
(Before the early Qing Dynasty) to more than 3,000 taels of silver (after Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty). Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, a pound of pork (equivalent to 1.2 city jins) only cost 20 taels of silver, and an acre of fertile land only cost 7 to 80 taels of silver or 12, 30 taels of silver.
A few taels of silver. A few taels of silver, a few dozen taels of silver, is a big deal. A hundred taels of silver is a big deal today, and can buy more than ten acres of fertile land.
In the Ming Dynasty, a commoner only needed one and a half taels of silver for a year's living, so Qi Jiguang's soldiers' military pay was only three cents of silver a day, less than one tael a month. In the Qing Dynasty, it was slightly more expensive, mainly because of the large foreign trade surplus before the Opium War.
, caused by the fall in silver prices after a large inflow of silver. Later, after a large amount of compensation was paid, the price ratio of silver to copper rose again. Common people usually used copper coins. In the late Qing Dynasty, copper coins were used, and silver was rarely used for daily transactions. Many people even
He has never seen silver before he died. Therefore, when expressing lack of money (poverty) in spoken language, "no copper coins (tiny coins)" are used instead of "no silver". You must know that the annual revenue of the treasury only reached 2 million taels during the Wanli period, and it was only through Zhang Juzheng
Figures that can only be achieved when the state treasury has abundant revenue after the reform.
Historical records indicate that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice of average quality. At that time, one stone was about 94.4 kilograms. One tael of silver could buy 188.8 kilograms of rice, which is 377.6 kilograms. Now the rice eaten by the average family in my country costs 1.5 yuan per kilogram. to 2 yuan, using the middle price of 1.75 yuan, we can calculate that one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty = RMB 660.8 yuan.
If these two taels of silver were brought to the Tang Dynasty, their purchasing power would be even more frightening. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, material civilization was extremely rich. A bushel of rice was sold for only 5 cents, and usually one tael of silver was converted into 1,000 copper coins (also known as Yiguanyin).
), you can buy 200 buckets of rice, 10 buckets is one stone, that is, 20 stones. One stone in the Tang Dynasty was about 59 kilograms. Calculated based on today’s general rice price of 1.75 yuan per kilogram, one tael of silver is equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 4,130 yuan. Tang Dynasty
During Xuanzong's Kaiyuan period, there was inflation, and the price of rice rose to 10 cents per dou, which was one tael of silver = 2,065 yuan.
In other words, Li Yunfei bought these jewelry, and the money spent to make these earrings would cost more than two million yuan in later generations. This is something Li Yunfei dare not even think about. It is a pity that Li Yunfei doesn't know it at all, otherwise he will be killed
He didn't dare to be so generous! But according to Li Yunfei's opinion, the five hundred taels would cost at least several dozen kilograms. With so much money, he didn't know whether he had enough money or not. He probably thought that gold should be worth a little more than silver!
"Boss, can you see if these are enough? If not, I will go back and get them again!" Li Yunfei poured out all the contents of the wallet, and it suddenly became glittering with gold. In fact, these things were secretly given by Li Shimin to Butler Li, and then to
Li Yunfei supplements the family income. It can be said that Li Yunfei is lucky to have such a father! He thinks of everything for his son, but it is a pity that it is all without Li Yunfei knowing, otherwise Li Yunfei would not know that father's love is not much worse than mother's love.
"These... these gold leaves!" The boss didn't know what to say! Except for a few broken pieces of silver, the rest were all gold leaves. This boss was really rich, but he didn't know much.
The truth is that wealth should not be revealed. In fact, he wronged Li Yunfei. After all, Li Yunfei did not know the value of these gold leaves. The value of gold is ten times that of silver. Moreover, the value of such exquisite gold leaves must be increased.
to dozens of times, and using gold leaf is also a status symbol.
It’s not that the shop owner has never seen rich people, nor has he never seen dignitaries, but this is the first time he has paid with gold leaves. He is even more sure that Li Yunfei’s status is extremely noble, “This... these are enough.
Got it!" The boss tremblingly picked up the five gold leaves. To him, these are like treasures and must be treasured. Looking at the perfect lines and clear lines of the gold leaves, he made a lot of money this time.
Got it!
"Uh! Are these enough?" Li Yunfei didn't expect that these few leaves were worth five hundred taels of silver. Seeing that there were dozens more, Li Yunfei couldn't help but wonder how a housekeeper could have so much money? But since it is
The person your father has arranged for you will probably not harm you!
"Yes! Master! In fact, you are still losing money, so be it! Take a look at what else you like in this store? You can take it as long as you like!" The store owner quickly put the gold leaves into Li Yunfei's wallet.
It's not that he doesn't want it, it's that he really can't afford to offend such a person 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 and made Xiaojiao and Li Qingshu's eyes light up. "That's it! I want to be with you.
How about cooperating in the jewelry business? It will be possible for us to open stores all over the country by then!"
"Think about it. When the name of Debao store reverberates throughout the land, every girl who goes to buy jewelry will come to your store to buy it. Think about it!" Li Yunfei thought, doesn't Butler Li want to do business? Then he might as well do it.
Just make it a big one! Isn’t it great to let Butler Li take care of it and Xiao Lian take care of the accounts? You can also be a happy little prince yourself!
"Is this... is this possible?" Li Yunfei's words made the store owner a little confused. This is impossible! He swore that he had never had such big ambitions, but now if Li Yunfei is supporting him, with his identity, he should
Not difficult!
"How is it impossible? You saw the drawing paper I just gave you! I tell you that it was all drawn by me. As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee that Debao will become the leader in leading the trend of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yunfei said
When he said these words, endless momentum surged through his body, which made everyone have to re-examine Li Yunfei. This is not that Li Yunfei suddenly changed, but his confidence in himself as a person in the 21st century, something that will be popular in later generations.
I can’t believe that we can’t deal with these ancients!
"This King of Qin is so confident when he is so confident!" Xiaojiao looked at Li Yunfei and thought secretly. She never thought that this man would have such a side. I thought he was just a weak man before!
"Brother Yunfei is indeed very human!" Li Qingshu looked at Li Yunfei with burning eyes. With such domineering power, it is definitely not something ordinary people can possess!
"This! Okay! I'll do it!" The boss finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the matter, thinking about those beautiful earrings. This kind of thing is not impossible, it just depends on how capable this person is! "Master
Please tell me how we can cooperate?"
"Well! I'll let you talk to me when I get back, but this is the share! We need to finalize it first!" Li Yunfei didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Now that the matter has been finalized, the profit sharing needs to be discussed carefully.
Got it!
"Young master is joking! From now on, our store will rely on you a lot. If you come up with sketches and a certain amount of money, he will get the big share. Let's do it this way! You have seven and I have three, do you think that's okay?" The shop owner has this self-knowledge, and with this
He must have found his ability temporarily. If he didn't take the opportunity to hug this thick thigh, then he would be a fool. Don't look at the small 30%, if it is as Li Yunfei said, he will make a lot of money!
"It's settled!" Li Yunfei sweated secretly. He originally wanted to say 50-50, but he didn't expect the store owner to be so easy to talk to. Since he said so, he had no reason not to agree! More details later
Let Butler Li talk about the place! I really don’t have this ability, maybe I can make suggestions behind the scenes!
