Although most of the funds earned in Sijiu City were used to fill the financial black hole of the shogunate's new policy, a small part was intercepted by Song Haiping, and the courtyard of the Japanese Pavilion was not small, and after Song Haiping and Yu Deqian moved in, they greatly cleaned up and completely demolished some old houses and modernized them - water supply, flush toilets, biogas tanks, solar range hoods, saunas, jacuzzis, fireplaces, fire walls, indoor air purifiers, and so on.

After the renovation was completed, a large number of servants were purchased, and as far as possible, there were special personnel from the gatekeepers, sweepers, laundry, cooking, washing dishes, washing dishes, chopping wood and boiling water, pouring tea and water, raising horses, and driving cars. And that's not a big deal.

Song Haiping has read the literature at this time, and generally at home, the children of the gentry of a high-ranking family must have one or twenty people to serve directly or indirectly, and it is even more difficult to go out to visit friends, and it is not uncommon to bring one or two hundred servants with him -- sometimes he has to live in a friend's house for a few days, and there are dozens of cages of clothes to change his clothes, and he usually uses eight strands of text, poetry and articles for communication, and the books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that he has read recently, not to mention the inkstones.

Living in the capital, the first thing I do every morning is to buy water, yes, buy spring water from Yuquan Mountain. Although there is a well in the precincts, the shallow groundwater is bitter and undrinkable, and it can barely be used for laundry. This is why people often say that rice is expensive in the capital, and it is not easy to live in a big place.

Everyone knows that rice is expensive in Beijing, and the dishes are even more expensive. The same table of banquets in Baoding Daimyo Zhang Beijinwei and other places may be won two or three taels of silver, in this forty-nine city at least four or five taels of silver, who let here there are many officials and nobles, but in this restaurant that can support more than ten years or even several generations, there must be unique craftsmanship and signature dishes. On the days when the household is paid, the vegetables are often sold out early.

Because the territory of this country is too large, there will inevitably be disasters in the year, not to mention that the south is so chaotic now -- bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, whether it is the Taiping army or the officers and soldiers in the south, it is not enough to expect them to love the people, so this best place in the capital also sells more children and daughters and even sells itself.

After the servants were completed, there were thirty-six male servants in the Japanese pavilion, not including twenty Japanese guard samurai. There are 40 rough servants, 16 second-class maids (who serve first-class maids), and 8 first-class maids (who serve their masters) -- Song Haiping and Yu Deqian are one and four first-class maids.

There are eight horses pulling the carriage, two high-end four-wheeled carriages (in fact, it may be cheaper to raise eight sedan drivers), and thirty horses for riding. There are two ends of the mule for grinding - one is used to grind soy milk and the other is used to grind flour.

The family has more than 100 people and horses, and it is a lot of money for people to eat and chew horses every day, so that there is a little bit of the grandeur of Japanese envoys -- you must know that the Korean envoys are all Korean wealthy businessmen who act as horsemen, just to make money in business.

After the armor business was on the right track, Song Haiping and Yu Deqian were rarely idle, they were idle after morning every day, and they could make a pot of tea in the afternoon, lying in the yard and basking in the sun - someone pinched their feet and rubbed their shoulders in the middle, and what they needed in the middle was naturally sent to their mouths as long as they opened their mouths, so uncomfortable.

Song Haiping thought that in later generations, that is, the big capitalists, would have this kind of standard of living, and many of them would be replaced by high technology -- after all, not all families had the determination to support more than 100 servants, and the salaries in Europe and the United States were still quite expensive. Especially in Europe, the high-welfare society has raised a group of lazy people who eat social welfare and do not serve the capitalists.

It can be seen that the so-called social development has, to a certain extent, come at the cost of reducing the interests of the rentiers at the top. Sometimes, even the lives of ordinary people will be affected and impacted to a certain extent.

For example, since the end of the thirties of the nineteenth century, European and American countries have set off a wave of abolition fever under the wave of industrialization. Is it really the white conscience that has found out and wants to emancipate the black slaves? Engage in equality and freedom?

What are you kidding, if you have a little conscience, you won't burn down the Old Summer Palace, the garden of ten thousand gardens.

The correct answer is that the first industrial revolution was a composite of coal and iron, but whether it is coal mining or steelmaking, it will swallow countless human lives. In later generations, China also experienced a painful period of exchanging people for coal and people for steel. The same is true in Europe and the United States, but at that time Europe and the United States did not have so much cheap labor to send to the mines, and the steel mills were swallowed up.

During this period, not to mention mines and steel mills, even the enterprises of ordinary capitalists had to compete with each other to eat people. The director of an American shoe factory said, "Give me an eighteen-year-old stick boy and in three years I can make him gray hair." "Thirty percent of child laborers die every year in Swedish textile mills, but in this way they still compete with British textile factories where workers must die after only three years.

In order to solve this problem, Europe and the United States began the abolition movement, for the rich man, after the emancipation of the slave, it was nothing more than to pay him a meager salary, and then ask him if you want to work in a steel mill with an average life of one year, or do you want to work in a mine with an average life of only half a year, or stay and serve me!!

The abolitionist movement hurt ordinary families in Europe and the United States, that is, families who could only provide slaves with three meals and one night, and got a strong labor force, hurt the most. They had no extra money to pay the emancipated slaves, who soon fell into a crisis of unemployment and starvation.

Then the mine owners and steel mill owners came to recruit workers with bread and contracts. When the black slaves entered the steel mill and went down the mine, realizing the danger and wanting to leave? What do you think the more than 10,000 professional gunslingers under the famous and most hearty steel trust king, Mr. Carnegie, are here to do all year round? Naturally, it was used to arrest the fleeing workers and suppress the workers' movement.

It can be said that regardless of Europe and the United States, the black slaves who were really emancipated to factories and mines were only dead ends, except for the difference in the length of time. People only remember that under the sleepers of the American railroad, there were a lot of Chinese workers' corpses, but at that time, there were also a lot of Chinese workers' corpses in the American mining factories.

But it is not enough to have black slaves, and it is no accident that the Western capitalist world has experienced an economic crisis every decade or so, in order to bankrupt more ordinary people and send them to the most dangerous jobs -- of course, for the sake of the big capitalists and big bankers to harvest social wealth once on a regular basis.

In the past ten years, it is just the time for a generation to grow up. Men sell their lives, women laugh, this is the real portrayal of capitalism. In the 21st century, Germany, which has created an economic miracle, has recommended a job for unemployed female doctors, and if they refuse to do so, it means that they will no longer receive unemployment insurance.
