Before he arrived at the martial arts house, Guan Kunyu could feel the hustle and bustle, not only in Dongwu Village, but also in several nearby villages. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The grocery store representing the Guan family gave the samurai family a good salute, and the samurai servant in charge of the entertainment pointed to the village and said:

"The theater is set up at the head of the village, and the flowing water seat is also over there, you first find a place to watch the play, and then go to the banquet when the banquet starts."

"Thanks, sorry for the trouble."

The servant was immediately flattered and waved his hand and said, "What do you say, it was originally what I should do, and I don't deserve to thank the little master." ”

The social hierarchy during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was still very strict, and Guan Kunyu was also a member of a hundred households, and the servants who could be sent here as guides did not have any status, and they were still quite unaccustomed to hearing a thank you.

Guan Kunyu is nothing, this is a habit in his previous life, he doesn't think there's anything wrong, so he doesn't plan to change it.

was about to go to the theater at the head of the village, but accidentally found a group of people gathered in the courtyard, chatting together, judging from the attitude of the surrounding martial arts family towards them, they were definitely not guests.

Guan Kunyu asked the servants, "What are they doing?" ”

"Oh, they're all painters. Our master wanted to paint a portrait of the old lady when he was on his birthday, so he promised a heavy reward, recruiting painters, who can make the old lady say a good word, you can get ten taels of silver, and the most popular one is twenty taels of silver. That's why, all of a sudden, everyone who can draw two strokes has come.

Alas, if I could also paint, it would be good, and I didn't want to look good, just two strokes, so that I could get in, and then the dinner table would also be a painter's seat, and a table would have more than two dollars of silver! Or specially invited Dechang Lou master to take charge! ”

"The food alone costs two coins of silver!? What kind of seat does that have to be, that's how the prince's seat is, right? Two dollars of silver, to say the least, you have to add three or two plates of hard dishes! If we can eat it, we will be blessed. ”

Seeing Huzi standing there with a submissive nod, Guan Kunyu seemed to see the two old peasants discussing whether the emperor was working with a golden hoe...... At this level, you dare to compare with the prince's seat!?

In fact, if the historical materials seen by Guan Kunyu are not wrong, it is indeed a matter of complaining that these two people have little knowledge, because even Guan Kunyu, who is a traverser, is very shocked, incredible, and even seriously doubts the authenticity of the historical materials.

In December of the 31st year of Wanli, the blessed king Zhu Changxun established the concubine Guo, and got married on the 18th day of the first month of the 32nd year of Wanli, with 300,000 taels of silver!

A wedding costs 300,000 taels!

And the annual income of the imperial court in the twenty years or so of Wanli is only about four million taels!

If this is to be put in modern times, it will not be a marriage and an airplane, but an aircraft carrier! And with escort formations!

Of course, King Fu is just a favored prince, even if he is favored, the wedding specifications can't exceed the prince, right?

Wang Dewan mentioned in his speech on August 21, the 28th year of Wanli: the wedding jewelry of the eldest son of the emperor is about 9,343,000 taels, and more than 41,000 robes and clothes are made. The wedding of the eldest son of the emperor was passed on to buy more than 12,700 paragraphs, about more than 100,000 taels of silver. There are 235,000 pieces of magnets, and the cost is about 200,000 taels.

At the same time, he also mentioned another set of data: Ningxia used troops for several months, about 1,878,000 taels, and North Korea used troops for seven years, about 5,832,000 taels. Yang Yinglong, Pingbozhou, has been using soldiers for many years, and he has spent more than 1,216,000 taels of silver.

With Guan Kunyu's modern thinking, the first reaction after seeing this set of data is fake! It's still the lowest kind of counterfeiting!

After seven years of facing each other with Nima Wanli and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the amount of money spent is not as much as a wedding! A wedding cost two years of national tax revenue!

Can you believe this thing!?

Now that a wedding is spending two years of government (beep) government revenue for the big foodie empire, this money is enough to repair the earth two or three times to fight a world war, right!?

This is the case with just the wedding, so if an emperor dies, the funeral expenses can't be lower than this, right? How can the new monarch ascend the throne mean meaning, right?

Wanli is not bad, it took more than 40 years to hold a funeral, and it was not good behind him, Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo did red things on the front foot and white on the back foot, and Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, only lasted for seven years.

If the weddings and funerals of these two people are also compared to more than 9 million taels of silver, the taxes of the two of them in the seven years of reign may not be enough for the two of them to spend on red and white affairs!

But if this data is true...... Then how can I love it, I can only say that I don't die, poor Chongzhen, the injustice of the death of the man who carried the blame, when he was the emperor eight years ago, he died as the emperor, and he himself ascended the throne of the emperor, plus take the queen or something, can the treasury not run the rat that is the hell, no matter how rich the inner library left by Wanli is, it can't stand such a practice! With this extra money for marriage and funeral, do you want to play with the pie, and go to the coal mountain to hang your neck......

This matter is something that Kun Yu doesn't want to take care of and can't manage, now as long as he takes care of himself, it's OK, and now, Guan Kunyu naturally has things he cares about.

"I see, but how can I see a few well-dressed sons inside? Twenty taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, but with their status, they must not care about that money, right? People go to Qinglou to spend more than this number. ”

The servant stared at Guan Kunyu strangely, it was difficult to understand why this little kid with no hair could know about Qinglou, of course, he also knew that this kind of thing must not be said much, so he simply pretended not to hear.

"It's true that not all the people who come here to paint the portrait of the old lady come for money. There are also many people who come to the name of our master. ”

Seeing that Guan Kunyu was a little puzzled, the servant explained again.

"Our old man Wu loves to paint like an obsession, and the ability to appreciate paintings is also famous in the whole Nanzhili, and there are often famous artists who bring paintings to the master to taste; It is also good to bring the younger generations, and the younger generations of visitors are also endless. If we can get the praise of our master, then we will definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in the township, and many rich sons who are not short of money in the family are the ones who hit this idea. ”

"I see, I always thought that Master Wu was just doing the paper and pen business, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"Hehe, the little boy is still young, and he has never been out of the camp, so he doesn't know that these are natural."

Guan Kunyu thought for a while, and then asked, "Then this time only invited artists can paint?" ”

"Of course not, anyone can paint as long as they have a little skill, after all, only the painter whose painting is favored by the old lady has money to get, and if the painting is not good, it is a meal, and our martial arts family doesn't care about this. As for those who don't understand bullshit but still want to eat, do you see the nursing home over there? Fork it out and beat it half to death first! Don't be afraid that someone will cheat and cheat here! ”

Guan Kunyu thought thoughtfully: "Then I will also make two strokes, you can try it." ”

The servant laughed: "That's natural, if the little master really has this mind, I'll take you in." ”

"Okay, then take me in."

"Good...... Yes!? You're really going!? ”

"Why, no, didn't you just say you could?"

"Yes, yes...... But ......"

"Just take me in, I'm really good at portraits."

"Little master, do you really know?"

"Why am I lying to you?"

"Okay then."

The servant had no choice but to take Guan Kunyu inside.
