VIP072: It's all because of that kid
[69 Book Bar-www.] It’s all the trouble caused by Lianhong’s child!
There was a lot of trouble under the stage. The rose she threw was grabbed by a muscle-studded man full of flesh. People were still surrounded by the stage and refused to return to their seats. Various eyes shot at her.
Obsessed, stunning, contemptuous, envious, jealous..., there is only a bunch of uniqueness, that is anger. Mo Qingwu felt the scorching eyes on the right side of the stage, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
But he still hangs his eyelashes and remains indifferent.
The madam walked onto the stage with a smile on her face. She looked at the chaotic scene in the hall with joy and said with a smile: "Oh..., it seems that all the masters like our Carmen shopkeeper's singing and dancing so much? They all couldn't bear to sit down.
Son?"
"Madam, I want Miss Carmen to accompany me tonight." The man who grabbed Mo Qingwu's rose said to the Madam first.
"Why?" There was a booing sound from the stage, and someone immediately spoke up to embarrass him, "Tan Datou, do you think you can hold the beauty by telling it first? This is Mingxianglou, everything is spoken by money."
The madam smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang is right. We open the door to do business in Mingxianglou, and only recognize money but not people. Which old man will pay the highest price tonight? Who can kiss Carmen girl Fangze
.”
The young master Zhang, who was dressed in brocade clothes and robe, looked like he was a playboy who was not good at learning. He looked determined to win and shouted to the madam: "Madam, don't behave well, no one knows the rules of Mingxianglou, you can do it.
Let's quote us a price!" A scream came from the audience and everyone was eager to try.
Mo Qingwu is really a piece of pork to be slaughtered!
Her face was always smiling, her eyelashes were slightly lowered, calm, as if all the troubles in the audience had nothing to do with her. In this way, she should have the style of a famous brothel prostitute, right? From the moment on, Hong Hyun's suppressed and furious eyes were overwhelmed.
I have never taken it back from her. If nothing unexpected happens... I will smile in my heart.
There was also Feng Zhisu in the corner. When she looked at her, she was a little familiar and confused. When it was more, she was inexplicably angry...
The madam cleared her throat and smiled and said, "The starting price of Miss Carmen's accompanying guests tonight is 100 taels of silver." As soon as she said that, everyone in the audience took a breath and heard Tan Datou shouting just now: "1000."
Two silver, you are really going to ask for a price all over the place.”
One hundred taels of silver? Mo Qingwu sighed. This Mingxianglou is indeed a gold bank. I liked to read some idle books in my previous life. Once I saw her ancient currency conversion system in that time and space, compared with the plot of watching modern TV series
, often felt ridiculous. The ancients in the play often used dozens of taels, even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of taels of silver. What's more, they were often able to take out hundreds of taels of silver bills from their pockets.
There are actually two misunderstandings here. One is that one tael of silver in ancient times is equal to one dollar today. The other is that the silver notes in ancient times are today's banknotes or checks.
In fact, in ancient China, silver was lacking, and the value of silver was very high. One piece of money (i.e., standard square-hole copper coins) was called "Wen", and silver and gold were melted according to "two" ingots. Ancient money was from the Tang Dynasty and above.
Although the units of the dynasty are different, at least they are not much different after the Tang and Song dynasties, so relatively stable and reliable data can be obtained. The exchange ratio between copper coins, silver and gold is like the current foreign exchange price, and it often changes.
It is not as clear as one yuan equals one hundred. The price ratio of gold and silver rose from 1:8 around 1600 to the mid-twentieth century and the end of the twentieth century.
The period was 1:10, and it doubled by the end of the 18th century, reaching 1:20. Taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, in the early years of Daoguang, one tael of silver was exchanged for one liang of money, which is one thousand citations; in the 20th year of Daoguang, opium was
During the war, one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,6700 ci. Since Xianfeng, the price of silver has soared, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 2,200 ci. From this we can see
Under normal circumstances, one tael of gold can be exchanged for about eight to eleven taels of silver; one tael of silver can be exchanged for about one thousand to one thousand five hundred coins. In ancient times, the common money or one hanging money was one thousand coins.
Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. The monthly salary of the ninth-rank official is five stones (equivalent to 70 kilograms) of rice. The upper white rice is nine cents per stone, the medium white rice is nine cents per stone, the lower white rice is eight cents per stone, and the white flour is eight cents per stone, and the white flour is
Jin (equivalent to 1.2 jin) Jiuwen, a stone of rice will not exceed one tael of silver. From this we know that the monthly salary of a ninth rank official in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to five taels of silver.
Until the Qing Dynasty, a sixth-rank official had an annual salary of 45 taels of silver, less than four taels of silver per month. In the late Qing Dynasty, a pound 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.
Two silver, dozens of taels of silver are a big deal. Having a hundred taels of silver is today's wealthy man, and he can buy more than ten acres of fertile land. In the Ming Dynasty, a civilian's life for a year was enough.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang's soldiers' military pay was only three cents of silver a day, less than one tael per month. It was a little more expensive in the Qing Dynasty, mainly because the foreign trade surplus was large before the Opium War. After a large amount of silver flowed in, the price of silver fell.
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, speaking
When there is no money (poverty), use "there is no money" instead of "there is no silver". This is why people often regard silver as precious, and this can also be seen as "the "
Three years of Qing Dynasty magistrate, a corrupt official who had a hundred thousand silver silver, had high methods of making money, was cruel to plundering people's wealth, poison to the heart, and the miserable lives of ordinary people.
As for silver notes, it is also an example of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is a foreign exchange voucher issued by Shanxi Piaohao. It has a secret deposit, not a bank note (bank) that is exchanged as soon as you see the bill. The exchange fee is to be paid with silver notes.
It can be used by merchants who do bulk transactions. It can avoid the risk of carrying a large amount of cash bank, and it is convenient, and it is similar to the cost of carrying a large amount of cash bank by yourself. It is not necessary for ordinary people and officials, so they will not be able to get out of their pockets.
Take out hundreds of taels of silver notes to pay the money. Even if you take it out and pay it, ordinary merchants and ordinary people will not accept it. The circulation level is even worse than that of today's personal checks.
