Different times, different regions, different types of work, and different ages and physiques of the helpers will affect the wages, so there is a big gap between the wages in the Chinese and the literature.

Military

Each soldier's food consumption = 1.8 stones/month, 21.6 stones/year, or 4,220 yuan/year;

Salt consumption per soldier = 3 liters/month, 3.6 buckets/year, or 144 money/year.

Clothing per soldier = 3,400 money/year

Each soldier lives on about 8,000 yuan a year

The grain consumption of each war horse = 3.3 stones/month, 39.6 stones/year, or 7920 yuan/year.

Funeral expenses = person / 3400 money

General's pension = person / 10~600,000 yuan

These are the price lists found in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If you look carefully at the price of food, weapons, workers' wages, and war horses, you can roughly calculate how much it costs to raise an army.

A war horse costs 20,000 to 100,000 yuan, and we unify one to calculate the money, so 10,000 war horses are money, that is, 500 million, which is just the money for a single war horse, and the money spent on raising these war horses in the future is more than this.

Look at the soldiers' military expenses again. Soldiers are not counted as weapons and armor, not as wages, and not as bereavement payments for the death of the dead. A soldier's living expenses for a year are about 8,000 yuan, and 10,000 troops are 80 million a year, but where is 10,000 troops enough?

Look at the weapons and armor again, 10,000 troops are equipped with weapons, if they are ordinary weapons, then they are relatively cheap, it is good to count 700 yuan, this kind of weapon will not last long, the quality is very poor, the really better is a steel weapon, a steel weapon costs 10,000 yuan. This is a single weapon, not counting armor, plus armor, a set of armor, ordinary costs 7000 money.

In this way, the equipment of 10,000 troops, UU reading book (.com) does not count the horse's vest, then it will cost 100 million yuan, and then if the horse's vest is counted, 10,000 horse armor is about 70 million to 80 million.

Then calculate the grain and grass consumed by horses in a year, 10,000 horses a year will cost about 80 million, and horses eat no less than people.

According to calculations, these 10,000 cavalry, just equipped and raised for a year, one billion will be gone...

So it is understandable that it costs billions to fight a war, and a single bow and arrow costs 10 yuan each, and it is really rare to shoot tens of thousands of arrows in a battle, and 10,000 archers are 10,000 arrows in a round, and a round will cost 100,000 dollars.

After the First World War, how many people will die, these soldiers will have funeral expenses, pension expenses, and huge costs, so if you don't have money, you can't afford to support the army, let alone fight.

There are many families in the Three Kingdoms, raising tens of thousands of customers. What is this concept? Not including food and housing, a person is calculated as low as a month, 500 yuan, 6,000 yuan a year, that is, many families, raising customers, spending tens of millions a year. It can be seen that it was normal for the family to have more than a dozen or billions at that time.

The Mi family can help Liu Bei equip thousands of troops and supply a large amount of grain and grass, but it can't be smashed without hundreds of millions. The families of the late Han Dynasty funded warlord wars, which shows how strong their financial resources were.

So the protagonist makes hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, so it's completely understandable. The reason why this happened was because gold and silver were not considered money at that time, but were only used by the upper classes... If gold and silver are used to denominate, this situation will not occur, and it can be calculated in hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels, but in the later period, after gold and silver were used as the main circulating currency, if they were converted into copper coins, they would still be calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars.
