Chapter 135: Jealousy

So a few taels of silver......

The era of the Ming Dynasty happened to be in the era of the transformation of the small peasant economy to the commercial civilization, so the income of the officials themselves was basically converted according to the land endowment.

But at the same time, the businessmen, who were not valued at all, with the help of technological progress and convenient transportation, quickly became rich, and they were ambitious, no longer willing to be controlled by others, so they began to move around the relationship.

Hao Hairui himself said in the book that the officials did not do their business, and whenever it was time to enter the Beijing running department, they began to carry a large amount of money to drill the camp, and this money is naturally difficult to say that it was dug out of the soil, and naturally came from the contributions of the merchants.

This has caused the largest gap between the rich and the poor in human history, and the children of officials and wealthy salt merchants can spend 1,200,000 taels of silver on the game of buying thin horses, or even more, while for an ordinary small citizen, thirty or forty taels of silver is enough for a family to live for a year, even in the case of high prices and more and more bits and pieces.

Of course, the price of food is cheap, so the problem of survival is solved, and the demand of the people of the imperial capital for living standards is also rising, which is another problem.

But you can earn a few taels of silver a day, and a few talents are not good at management, so they naturally don't understand the tax income inside, as well as all kinds of odd expenses, cost consumption, but all of them have changed a little.

The man seemed to come often, and after eating the big bread and meat, he put down the two silver dollars, and went away by himself, and when he left, the bag full of money was almost overflowing.

The running guy came over to clean up the mess and said, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go, we have to go to the night market."

"It's hard to get up early and be greedy for darkness this day."

"Hey, feed your family."

The four or five Xiucai didn't say much, but there were some different things in each other's hearts that surfaced in their hearts, and the eyes that looked at each other were not quite right.

The selling of pancakes and fruits, hand cakes, is a new landscape of the imperial capital, in fact, it has only appeared for more than half a year, and it is a symbol of egg wealth.

Eggs are not uncommon in themselves, ordinary farmers who don't raise a few laying hens, accumulate them, and exchange some needles and threads with the hawkers who go to the village to exchange for some needles and threads?

But under this model, not to mention the cost, the quantity and quality assurance are naturally impossible to talk about, and the freshness is naturally insufficient.

But the territory of eggs in the food industry is definitely not low, the reason is very simple, as an egg that can give birth to a chick, it itself contains all the nutrients formed by a chicken, which can be said to be of the highest quality.

Soon after settling down, chicken farms were established, although there is a lack of egg ** species, but the Chinese domesticated these hens are also thousands of years of experience, no fish and shrimp can also be.

In the early stage, each soldier can get the treatment of one egg per person per day, of course, this is the treatment of the most core new army, and then it slowly expanded to the whole army, and then the students under their control, one egg per person at noon every day, and, learning the wisdom of President Yuan Shikai, before eating eggs every day, the students have to say that they are grateful for the good life that the elders have brought them, which can be regarded as from the Western scriptures, as well as the monthly salary when the small station is trained, and the soldiers are required to shout the kindness of Yuan Shikai.

Of course, with the expansion of layer farms and broiler farms, the number gradually reaches the point where it can be supplied, so the cheapness of eggs is normal, and it is cheap to the point that an egg costs a few pennies.

With the support of this material foundation, in line with the intention of enhancing the people's physique, the peerless artifact of pancake fruit has also appeared, he is simple and convenient, quick to make, the dough can use soybean flour or flour, soy protein is a good protein, not too much oily, and it is also very healthy.

Although the three Xiucai are not good at business, they always have brains, and soon calculated a formula in their hearts, if they can maintain a turnover of two or three taels of silver a day, then there are at least fifty or sixty taels a month, although they don't know the profits, but they can be lean money a year, I'm afraid there are not as many as seven or eight hundred taels!

It's outrageous, it's outrageous, although the legend says that a Jiangnan salt merchant spends a lot of money and buys a troupe more than this money, but that basically means dozens of teenage girls, all of them are docile and obedient, but after all, they are far away, they are just jokingly and jokingly mocking a nouveau riche, and when my son wins the top prize in the examination and becomes the chief official of the salt industry, he can naturally kill you.

"Xiao Er, what's going on with that person just now."

Some of the people who ran the hall saw that although these poor ghosts definitely couldn't tip the money, and the food was average, they just took advantage of this time to kill time, but when they opened the shop to do business, they didn't greet each other with a smile.

"Back to the master, that person is a neighborhood near us, originally to work, and then the work above, but when repairing a road, accidentally smashed the hand, although there is a miracle doctor to save his life, but he can't do the work of the labor, after the injury at home, the county gave the car, teach him how to sell, but I really can't imagine, this pancake fruit is really easy to sell, out of the fast, he pulls the car every day, where there are more people to go, who is hungry on the road, buy one, there is an egg."

In later generations, there was such a joke, saying that when a white-collar worker bought pancakes and fruits, the amount was a little wrong, but the aunt said: Auntie is a person who earns 30,000 yuan a month, and she will not take one or two yuan from you children who work hard. (Whether it's a dollar or an egg is no longer available)

The white-collar workers silently stopped making noise, returned to the office and sent a message, which soon became a hot search, which caused waves at the time, everyone was concerned when they saw it, calculating the cost of their education, and a little income, so far they are just showmans, and they could have gotten a little money and food in the local area, so the amount is getting thinner and thinner.

Fear of comparison in everything, even if Dad Ma is the richest man in the world, Sicong changes a woman every day, and it has nothing to do with silk, but Wang Erxiao next door has a salary increase of one level, and he can't wait to kill the whole family, this is human nature.

Mai Tian's hands were trembling, and he couldn't hold the wine steadily, he had the heart to say something, but just looking at the tired body of the big man, and the back of pushing the pancake fruit cart to drive down the game, spitting on people as profiteers competing with the people, it was a bit excessive.

"This imperial capital, I see that it is just a flower on the outside, but on the inside it is not respectful of the Holy Religion, does not learn articles, the city is full of copper smell, morality is degraded, and peace can last for a long time, I think, I might as well wait to return to my hometown and wait for the opportunity, or it is better to go to Nanjing."

At this time, Nanjing, in the eyes of many conservative literati, almost has the symbol of Yan'an during the Anti-Japanese War, after all, the copper smell in the north and all kinds of deviant blind people can see that women show their heads to do business are light, you know, the emperor is guaranteed to marry freely, theoretically, as long as they flee to the imperial capital, a pair of young men and women who are in free love can be protected by law.

In the later generations of the new time and space, there are really many lingering love stories, which are generally rich young ladies who fall in love with a handsome man of various professions, but are blocked by feudal and conservative parents, so the two broke through many obstacles, went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and reached the paradise in their minds, the imperial capital.

This set of stories was turned over and filmed in the past, which is nothing more than a change of element, occupation, and the combination of rich sons and prostitutes is also occasional, accounting for half of the bitter love scenes, which can be said to have a long history.

There are also all kinds of things, many really pedantic and old people, basically all of them have gone south or returned to their hometowns.

But no one is stupid, Jiangnan at this time, a little famous, or the princes who are close to Chongzhen's bloodline, all bow their heads one by one and dare not speak, what is more terrible than the threat of death is that they will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history if they die.

"Don't say it, you and I are incapable people, I can't get into the eyes of others, a hard worker who doesn't understand literature and ink can earn so much gold and silver, then who is willing to read poetry and books in the future, who is willing to educate the people, then I am Chinese...... I ...... China"

"Yes, it should be written, for this kind of opportunistic and blackmailing of the people, collect taxes, and can't let them be so ostentatious, otherwise, I will ...... China."

"Originally, in my Heavenly Dynasty, even if a farmer had a little bit of money, he would send his son to study in a private school, so as to be motivated, otherwise there would be no way to survive, and life would be better than death, but if you sell pancakes can be higher than the county order, then who will read poetry and books."

"Yes, that's the problem!"

Civilization needs defenders, that is, if this civilization is threatened, the people who resist most fiercely tie up their own interests, that is, the problem.

The imperial examination system is "smart" to tie civilization and political power, once civilization is harmed, then even with it, those Confucian students with vested interests are also finished, just like at this moment, under the call of deposing the eight shares and rebuilding the new imperial examination, don't say anything about showing talents, people don't recognize your academic qualifications!

For these scholars, academic qualifications are everything to them, although if there is a real interest, no one will take it seriously.

Of course, the elders' methods of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle are awe-inspiring, just as the talented people of Donglin who originally knelt on the ground found out that the Manchu Qing Dynasty collected taxes in earnest, and it was not something that could be stopped by a few Xiucai crying temples, and there were countless people who were determined to resist the Qing Dynasty.

The German people will always be loyal until they are taxed.

Although Hitler was insidious, this sentence was close to the three flavors of politics.

The imperial capital, according to some people's words, is full of money, just see if you pick it up, at this time, just like the four trillion water injection in the era of 2008 in the later generations to stimulate domestic demand, if you can seize the opportunity to buy ten houses ashore, then there is nothing to worry about.

However, it is a little difficult for them to ask these scholars to move bricks, their Maslow's needs are much higher than those of the fart people, just like the man who sells pancakes and fruits, himself came out of hunger, once he finds that he can get so much money for working every day, he really can't control his hard work.

People who have lower physiological needs at an early age, especially those who lack basic security such as food and water, will be more thirsty when they grow up.

The scholars are basically from wealthy families, and they pursue the needs of family security, and even spiritual needs, as for the highest level of life, the pursuit of self-realization, which is only pursued by a small number of people.

In a word, people can't pull this face.

The imperial capital was a paradise for adventurers, where uneducated coolies could rely on hard work to earn no less than the income of county officials, merchants selected novel products from all over the place and shipped them home to earn huge profits, and even the north-south trade route had been opened.

And countless wealthy businessmen came to pounce, countless betrayals and betrayals were staged, and many people came to walk around, hoping that in this change of dynasty, at least the family wealth should be preserved, of course, it would be great if you could earn a fortune of the founding heroes.

Even countless foreign devils who tried their luck also ran over, of course, they themselves were born in their own Luther, and they could stutter in the imperial capital.

Of course, there are some so-called scholars who need to be read here, but the presbyterians need the old-style readers, the first criterion is loyalty, blind obedience and obedience.

There is a paradox in this, the more poetry and books are read, and the better the academic performance, the more convinced they are of what they have learned, and even anything that is different from what they know is regarded as disobedient.

Whether it is Huang Chao who failed the exam, or Hong Xiuquan, who basically can't do it, his cultural level is not good according to the standards of the time, but I can't do it in the exam, and you can't rebel.

Therefore, the cultural people used by the elders, except for the people recruited by Enke, who were trained as administrative officers, the others liked to use old children, or those who used their own writing skills to do things after giving up the imperial examination before, at least many old gentlemen who were proficient in the eight stocks got job opportunities in the Sun and the Imperial Daily, and as for many businessmen's children, they also got the opportunity to be hired, but many of them sent their own articles and poems to the door, eager to learn from those whites who slapped their faces, and used poetry to impress the big people There are indeed a lot of moves.

However, it is ineffective for the elders, if they have written that the falling flowers are not ruthless things, or if life is only as it was first seen, they will look at it differently, let you come over, ask your brother what era you have traveled through, what kind of work you need, and reward you with a mission.

As for the staff emperor division, naturally there is none.

However, the three of them actually discovered the New World.

It was a carriage, not fast, walking slowly in the night, followed by a few men in the distance, not daring to approach, but unwilling to leave.

The scene was peculiar, and since it was evening, the carriage did not go fast, apparently at the behest of the driver. 2k reading web
