One hundred and seventy-six chapters chicken price one cent
As one of the ten scenic spots in Hangzhou, Leifeng Pagoda is well-known. Kang Fei said at that time that it was a landmark building. It seemed useless, but in fact it could enhance the happiness of residents. When others asked, what is the famous place there, you can proudly say that there is Leifeng Pagoda there... Could it be that you have to tell others that there is a rich horse man there? Wouldn't this make others underestimate you?
Therefore, as soon as the fire burned, Song Tonggang felt aroused in his heart and his momentum was greatly depressed. Kang Fei looked around and wanted to comfort him a few words, but when he looked at the people around him, it seemed that the atmosphere had solidified. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again, but he could understand them.
He sighed and said, "Brother Tonggang, there is an expert who once said that if you have land and people lose people, people and land will be lost. If you have land and people lose land, people and land will be preserved. As long as people are fine, nothing can be built?"
At this time, Ergouzi next to him also interrupted, "Brother Kang Fei was in our Yangzhou before, but he donated 20,000 taels of silver to the Zhenyuan monk of Shaolin. The monk had a rare idea and built a seven-story pagoda outside the city. Of course, it has not been built yet, but when we left, our feet had already dripped (the foundation has been laid). After another year and a half, we will definitely be able to build it. There are so many rich people in Hangzhou, and then we will build another one."
After he said this, Song Tonggang was very surprised, "Why have you never heard of this when I meet an immortal?"
Kang Fei's face suddenly shone on his face. Five hundred years later, in his era, Yang Guocha's bad money was so ugly. He called the Green Poison ruling all day long, but no one condemned him. Why? Isn't it just that Yang Guo donated more than 100 schools? It can be seen that those who do good deeds are more confident than others.
Therefore, he pretended to be modest, but in fact he felt so happy that he felt very happy. It was like drinking a bucket of ice and drinking it in his stomach, and his whole body was completely dry and heated.
Song Tonggang was very impressed and said, "Jixian is a tenth-level Bodhisattva... Erkou what you said makes sense. After today, I will donate... two thousand taels of silver, and I will definitely rebuild Leifeng Pagoda." As he said, he was a little embarrassed. He looked at Kang Fei and said, "You can't compare with Yuxian. There are more than a hundred people in my family, even though I am loved by my parents, I don't just say it."
He is the youngest son in the family. As the saying goes, the emperor loves his eldest son and the people like his youngest son. But even so, he can't really donate 20,000 taels with just one mouth. In this era, 20,000 taels are a huge sum of money, and his family's silver was not blown by the strong wind. Donating 2,000 taels was a gritting one's teeth.
Kang Fei said in a fake way, "The donation is not much, it is only in the heart. Brother Tonggang, you are a hero. What do you care about this? Let's go quickly!"
To be honest, when people are proud, others can feel it, so Tie Shengnan whispered: "It's really hypocritical, how can you be beautiful in your heart!"
When Kang Fei heard this, he glared at her, but seeing that she had made contributions to comforting the masses just now, she did not care about her. She carried the knife and walked forward with big strides. Although it was dark, his eyes were good... However, a person's eyes were not worth it. Most people in this era have blindfolded eyes, which is night blindness.
It is easy to treat with blindfolds. You only need to eat more poultry and eggs and animal livers. But where can you eat so much for people to eat?
In the Ming Dynasty, a master liked to eat duck necks. A salt merchant invited him to a banquet. Seeing that he was gnawing his neck so hard, he quietly ordered someone to go, slaughtered more than a dozen ducks, and made a plate of duck necks for him to eat.
He ate with relish at that time, but after he got home, he reflected on it and said that today was too luxurious. He ate more than a dozen ducks in one meal. He liked to write a diary or something. He wrote this matter seriously in his diary, and later it was passed down as notes by Ming people in later generations.
There were no Zhou Hei Ya in the Ming Dynasty, nor industrial duck farming. To be honest, eating more than a dozen ducks in one meal was indeed a luxury. In other words, salt merchants of this era could only afford to go to Jinshan Temple to sprinkle gold foil to play, otherwise it would be difficult to eat.
It was not five hundred years later that the people had to eat 66 billion chicken feet a year. That was because the whole world had opened up its supply. The small peasant economy of the Ming Dynasty ate chicken feet by themselves, and the emperor could not afford it...
Xiao Anzi, I want to eat chicken feet.
Master, the royal kitchen price, one tael of silver for eggs, and fifteen taels of silver for chickens. How many chicken feet do you want to eat?
I'll do it, one or two stone brown rice, fifteen taels of chicken, then I want ten chicken feet, wouldn't I want seventy-five stone rice? I'm rich all over the world, but this is too expensive...
Master, what you mentioned is one or two liang of brown rice. That is the price outside the imperial city. In our imperial city, rice essence is expensive and requires ten taels of silver...
The emperor even had to turn over the table, but, as he said, what if you are rich in the world? If you want to eat chicken feet, you have to pay the silver for this price.
The Ming people did not like to raise chickens and ducks. The reason is very simple, and they made too little profit.
There is a note from Mingren: Chicken and duck make a very small profit. Now, it is estimated that one duck will be consumed for each year. It is worth 2 cents and 5 cents, and about 180 eggs, which is worth 7 cents.
As for how much does the chicken itself cost? The first person in the world who is transparent about government affairs, the master who wrote [Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes], posted the yamen expenses at the yamen every day, and the book was written very clearly, and the chicken was priced at one yuan.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty raised chickens and ducks, which are those who lay eggs such as hens, and they would never eat them themselves. They were all used for money, rice, oil and salt. As for the chickens themselves, they were indeed not valuable, but they were not valuable. They raised eggs and would not sell them!
Therefore, the blindfolded bird in the Ming Dynasty is probably an incurable disease.
When we read a book, when we saw Fusang daimyo Tokugawa Ieyasu eating eggplant and dried fish, we all sighed about happiness and laughed at Fusang's small country and few people. But in fact, although the Ming Dynasty was stronger than Fusang, it was not much stronger. Everyone was a small peasant economy, which was just a fifty step to laugh at it.
It’s nothing more than eating dried fish. I eat fish. The difference is that there are, but how big it is, it doesn’t start industrialization and can defeat the small peasant economy.
If you really want to beat and crush, then the British Empire will never set, with 200,000 industrial workers, beat the whole world. Of course, later, I started beat the whole world with 400 million industrial workers.
It's too far, in short, Kang Fei stepped forward, and there were too many people who couldn't resist the drag. Two or three thousand were mostly blindfolded. Once at night, it wasn't much different from blinding his eyes.
Kang Fei was so anxious, but he could only stare at him. Not to mention that he was just a cheater, even if he was really a god, he could not stand and cure the two or three thousand blindfolds of the two or three thousand people.
Therefore, he could only be anxious, and he just stomped his feet and scolded his mother.
At this moment, there was a noise in front of him. Ergouzi ran to the front first, built a pergola with his hand, and looked at it pretentiously. It was pitch black, and there was nothing to see. Then he turned around and asked where Song Tonggang was.
Song Tonggang looked around and said, "It's Xiangji Temple."
