Chapter 906: History's Huge Greed and Zhu Zilong's Determination!
Liu Jin, the super eunuch of the Zhengde Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, is known as the "Emperor", and his power is full of flames, and hundreds of officials have to send at least 1,000 taels of silver to meet him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Jin was raided after the defeat, and the number of confiscated was "80 bundles of big jade belts, 2.5 million taels of gold, more than 50 million taels of silver, and his treasures are not counted".
The exchange rate of gold and silver in the Zhengde Dynasty was roughly 1:6, and 2.5 million taels of gold could be exchanged for about 15 million taels of silver, and Liu Jin's property was calculated in silver, which should be more than 65 million taels.
65 million taels of silver, how much is it worth?
According to the purchasing power of rice, the price of rice at that time was about 400 wen yuan (about 0.4 taels of silver) per stone. 65 million taels of silver can buy 160 million stone of rice. One stone of rice in the Ming Dynasty was about 150 catties today, and we calculated it at 4 yuan per kilogram of rice, which can be seen:
One stone of rice = 0.4 taels of silver = 150 catties = 600 yuan (applicable to the middle of the Ming Dynasty)!
In other words, if Liu Jin's embezzled property is put to today, it should be about 96 billion yuan, which is really a terrifying astronomical amount.
The per capita national income during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was only 4.8 stone rice, and the per capita national income in Liu Jin's era would only be lower.
Even if calculated at 4.8 stone rice, Liu Jin's wealth was 30 million times the per capita national income at that time. A commoner in the Ming Dynasty had to work for 30 million years, and he didn't eat or drink, so that he could accumulate a wealth equivalent to Liu Jin.
The premise is that the interest on Liu Jin's property is not counted.
Obviously, there are individual Donglin Party members, and they can't reach the height of Liu Jin no matter what. Unless the property of all the Donglin Party members in the Ming Dynasty is counted together, it is estimated that it is possible.
It's no wonder that Chen Yan will be stunned.
Liu Zongmin wanted to ask for so much silver on him alone, and it was impossible to ask for his old life.
Looking at Chinese history, if there is anyone who embezzles as much money as Liu Jin.
Probably just two people!
One is Comrade Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, and the other is Comrade Heshen of the Qing Dynasty.
Qin Hui's position: the property of the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty: "insatiable ink", "his family is several times richer than Zuozang". Converted into RMB in terms of purchasing power: about 17.6 billion yuan.
Qin Hui's family property is several times that of Zuozangku, but Li Xinchuan did not explain how many times, we take the median, it should be 5 times. In this way, Qin Hui's property is about 60 million.
In the early Southern Song Dynasty, 60 million yuan, if it is converted into RMB, how much is it?
During the Gaozong period of the Song Dynasty, the price of rice was roughly 1000~2000 wen per stone, and we take the median and calculate it at 1500 wen (1.5 guan) per stone. One stone of rice in the Song Dynasty was about equal to 110 catties today, and a pound of ordinary rice in today's shopping malls generally cost about 4 yuan per kilogram.
From this, we can list an equation: one stone of rice = 1500 Wen = 110 catties = 440 yuan (only applicable to the early Southern Song Dynasty)!
Qin Hui's 60 million yuan can probably buy about 40 million stone of rice. According to the above equation, it can be estimated that Qin Hui's property is about 17.6 billion yuan.
Obviously, he can only rank third out of the three big greeds.
Let's look at Comrade Heshen again!
He was the foreman of the Qing Dynasty and the Minister of Military Aircraft, according to the list of copyists included in the "Heshen Crime File".
The property of the Heshen family has been appraised, and some of them are more than 200 million taels of silver (including gold and silver, ginseng, silk, jade storehouse, pawnshop, antique shop, field, etc.), while the house and garden of the Hejia family, treasures and antiques are not appraised and are not counted.
More than 200 million taels of silver in the Heshen era, how much is it worth today?
The price of rice during the Qianlong-Jiaqing period was about 1000~1600 wen per stone, and we took the median and calculated it at 1300 wen yuan (1.3 taels of silver) per stone. In the Qing Dynasty, one stone of rice was about 150 catties today, and a kilogram of ordinary rice today was about 4 yuan, so the formula can be listed as follows:
One stone of rice = 1.3 taels of silver = 150 catties = 600 yuan (applicable to the middle of the Qing Dynasty)!
Heshen's 200 million taels of silver can buy 150 million stone of rice, but today's rice price is converted into RMB, that is, there are more than 90 billion yuan.
is the most greedy person in Chinese history, the first champion, and no one can come out of it.
…………
At this moment, Chen Yan fainted again with a scream.
Next, press it, University Scholar Wei Zaode. Wei Zaode never dreamed that he would have today. If he had known about today's events, he would have either escaped from the capital early, or he would have resolutely defended the city to the end. It is impossible to be a traitor!
Liu Zongmin asked him for money, but he insisted that he didn't.
In the end, Liu Zongmin was furious: "You have been an official for three years and then promoted to a cabinet minister, you must have spent a lot of money on the way." If you don't give money, you can return the former emperor to the truth. Where is the emperor sorry for you, and dare to accuse him of being a dumb king? Give the money quickly, or you will be worse off than dead! ”
Wei Zaode howled bitterly, and all ten fingers were broken. Faint on the spot!
Immediately afterwards, it was Zhou Kui's turn.
Liu Zongmin changed the criminal law and imposed the punishment of cannon branding, which made the sound of his skin and flesh burning.
Zhou Kui screamed that he really had no money, Liu Zongmin didn't believe it, and tortured his son to death in front of him. The Zhou family immediately cut off their children and grandchildren!
This is not over, Liu Zongmin also let people all the women of his family to death in front of him.
The tragic situation in front of him made Zhou Kui feel like he was in a dream. Before he died, he remembered what Wang Chengen said to him a few months ago: "What is the benefit of saving and being prolific when big things go?" ”
It's a pity that in this world, there is no regret medicine to take.
Finally, when he was dying, he repented.
Tears rolled down, muttering to the sky and shouting: "Your Majesty, the old minister regrets it...... In this world, it is still good for Daming. ”
After speaking, Zhou Kui swallowed his last breath, and the whole family died so far.
In the dark cell, the British Duke Zhang Shize was curled up on the ground, and he was no longer human. As an official who has practiced martial arts, he has been able to survive until now.
However, it is also about to reach its limit.
In a few days, he tried eighteen criminal laws.
Sticks, cannons, brains, etc...... And before that his wife, and his sons, and his daughters, all were defiled and died in his presence.
Especially the sons, in front of them, let Liu Zongmin explode chrysanthemums and die!
The other Donglin Party officials in the same cell, seeing the miserable situation of the others, regretted it one by one.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is ashamed of you, I knew today, and I will support the early relocation of the capital."
"Wechen is also ashamed ......"
When they regretted it one by one, the British public Zhang Shize also died at the same time.
Just a few days!
Liu Zongmin's "Biyu Zhenfu Division" achieved fruitful results, and the stolen silver increased, reaching more than 90 million taels of silver, 20% more than recorded in history. Coupled with nn 10,000 stone grains and countless treasures, it is really a super bumper harvest!
For a time, the officials of the capital were honored and their relatives were exhausted.
In the homes of some officials and local tyrants and landlords who are fortunate not to die, men serve as cannon fodder and miners or miners. Female family members all act as official prostitutes, thousands of people touch, ten thousand people ride, and the world is ****!
The young white-faced person even made Longyang, and gave some thieves as male prostitutes and chrysanthemums.
Just when Li Zicheng was in the capital abandoned by Zhu Zilong, according to his calculations, he cleaned up the property and the officials who should die.
Far away on the front line, Zhu Zilong's army and the army of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty also fought a decisive battle with the Qing army to the final stage.
The current situation is that if Zhu Zilong leads the team to attack, the final victory is certain, but the casualties will be very large.
And this is obviously not in the interests of Zhu Zilong and Daming.
At the same time, it is also one of the strong supports that Dolgon believes that he can hold on to the present and the two sides hold each other. During this period, he kept arranging and meticulously sending a message of cooperation and encirclement to Li Zicheng in the capital.
It's a pity that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin are making a fortune with all their might, so they don't care if his teammates live or die.
What's more, it's really Li Zicheng who came, his Qing army, Shanhaiguan was surrounded before and after, and he was the first to die.
The question now is whether Zhu Zilong is willing to pay such a big sacrifice.
Is Zhu Zilong willing?
Oh, of course not. His power has developed to the present, what is most important. Talent! Especially in this illiteracy rate of the Ming Dynasty, as high as 99%. Can his little brother be sacrificed casually?
Sometimes, he really wants to throw the nuclear warheads in the Dragon Ball space over and forget about it.
However, thinking that the vicinity of Shanhaiguan is his own territory, it will also be of great use in the future, and it will be cool to have a nuclear warhead when the time comes. But how to explain it?
And, what about nuclear contamination?
Is this place still going to live and develop?
It doesn't seem to be even more calculated!
After thinking about it and patting his thigh, Zhu Zilong decided to go back to the modern 21st century, and it should not be too late. Buy a batch of conventional, non-polluting modern weapons, and risk solving the post-gold in one go.
You must know that the Qing army is pouring out of the country, and if they are all wiped out after this battle, there will basically be no Qing Houjin race in history.
The cost is not proportional to the risk, and it is definitely worth the investment.
