If you are a reader who likes to watch costume dramas, it is inevitable that you will yearn for the life of the harem, not to mention, how good is the treatment of the concubines of the Qing Dynasty? Let's take a good look at it, the Qing court has a strict harem system, and concubines are divided into eight grades, namely empress, imperial concubine, noble concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, always present, promised.
According to the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the highest ranking empresses distributed the following supplies every year: "Silver 1000 taels, python satin 2 horses, supplementary satin 2 horses, woven gold 2 horses, makeup satin 2 horses, Wu satin 4 horses, glitter satin 2 horses, gold satin 2 horses. 5 horses of three-wire cloth, 40 horses of wool green cloth, 10 pounds of velvet, 6 pounds of cotton thread..."
In addition, the daily expenses of the day also include: "16 catties of pork, 1 plate of sheep, 1 chicken and 1 duck each, 1 liter of Goryeo River rice and 5 he, 20 eggplants, 20 king melons, 5 pieces of white wax, 4 sticks of yellow wax, 10 sticks of mutton oil wax, 1 wax of sheep fat, 10 pounds of red charcoal summer, 20 pounds of winter, 30 pounds of black charcoal summer, 60 pounds of winter..."
This is not all, in contrast, the lowest level of promise, it is a lot of shabby, only 30 taels of silver a year, a few horses of palace silk cloth, a pound of 8 two pork a day, 5 chickens and ducks per month... There is no harm without comparison, and it is not difficult to understand why the concubines of the Qing Palace are scrambling to climb up.
So how much yuan is the Queen's 1,000 taels of silver equivalent to today? Taking the fifteenth year of Guangxu as an example, calculated according to the price of rice, the grain price of Suncheon Province and Daming Province can be worth one or two or four dollars and six cents of silver per stone, while the qing Dynasty's one liter (equivalent to 1.5 kg today) of the best quality rice is about 10 yuan.
According to the conversion probability of 1,000 yuan equal to 1 two silver, one or two pieces of silver can buy 150 kilograms of rice, equivalent to 500 yuan, which is equivalent to the empress for a year, can receive 500,000 pocket money, not counting the reward of the emperor and the price of gold every New Year's Festival, it is inevitable that people will wonder, the harem is worry-free, the concubines take these money, is it enough to spend? In fact, the cost is not a small amount.
First of all, in terms of food treatment, the concubines, as the masters, naturally rely on their servants, so most of the silver money in their hands is also used for tips.
In addition, including the purchase of harem daily necessities, it is impossible to rely entirely on the Ministry of internal affairs for production, which also requires expenses in this regard.
As the owner of the harem, the empress's expenses were obviously even greater, taking the Guangxu Emperor's Empress Longyu as an example, according to the income bill of another concubine, Concubine Jin, although Longyu was not favored by Guangxu, she would reward Concubine Jin with 10 taels of silver every New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, Longyu birthday, and Concubine Jin's birthday, and spend 50 taels a year.
In addition, Longyu supported cats, dogs, birds and insects, coal tea miscellaneous uses, sacrificial incense offerings, gifts to princes and nobles, Aggege fruit point clothing, and various sporadic foods, and the annual expenditure even reached more than 10,000 taels at the largest time, far exceeding the number of rewards given by the imperial court.
Empress Qianlong followed the emperor down to Jiangnan, and every time she went to a temple, she rewarded 5 taels of incense money, which accumulated into a lot, which was still a considerable expense.
The empress is still like this, not to mention other concubines, many noble women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, so it is not as smooth as everyone thinks, and even in a state of not being able to make ends meet, take Guangxu's favorite concubine as an example. According to the eunuch's memoirs, Zhenfei originally came from a large family, had generous hands, and had many rewards for the characters in the palace, but her annual routine was only 300, and after being demoted to a concubine by Cixi, there were only 200 taels, so Zhenfei also had the phenomenon of selling officials and knights.
According to the Inspector Yushi Hu Sijing's "National News Preparation", it is written: "The first empress dowager tortured Concubine Zhen and found a book in the secret room, and the inner book was included in a certain month and day to the Inspector of Henan Yuchang.1. ”
This incident eventually became an excuse and evidence of Cixi's overthrow of Zhenfei, and after the East Window Incident, Guangxu could only issue a holy decree, "Recently, Xi Shang is still flashy, there have been many begging things, and the emperor's deep concern has gradually become unspeakable." According to the actual face, if you do not measure the precepts, you are afraid that the near attendants will think that they will be blinded by the fate of the enemy, and they will suffer from invincible defenses. Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen were both demoted to nobles (seventh rank) to show leniency and to suppress internal affairs. "It seems that the life of the queen concubine is not so good!"
Back to reality, how do we raise good and successful children?
I believe that every parent is looking forward to Jackie Chan, looking forward to the female chengfeng, at the end of the article for parents to share a recent, hot selling 4D "black technology" product - globe. This globe is called the AR Technology Globe, an "encyclopedia" that you can see the world at home.
According to statistics, most of the people who buy globes are parents, because AR globes are products specially designed for children.
Ar technology globe, make countless parents crazy secrets
So what is the magic of this black technology, which can make countless parents crazy, and the secret behind it is the good intentions of the AR globe designers under the "deliberate consideration".
4D graphics attract children's interest
Children's lack of interest in learning and always like to have fun is something that most parents have been struggling with. There are never really stupid children, they just don't want to learn.
In this attraction of children's interest, the AR globe design is very clever.
Children open the AR globe, they will see, a flag, floating above the earth, a delicate three-dimensional building, lifelike, vivid animals and plants, all floating in front of the children.
It's like watching a 4D movie. I believe that at this time, children will not be able to help but touch these pictures. Thus, the designer's "conspiracy" also succeeded.
If a child touches a British flag, the AR globe will introduce him to what "Britain" is?
If a child touches a cute panda, arborimeter will tell him that it is a national treasure of China.
If a child touches a magnificent tower, ar globes will tell him that it is the world-famous Al Jacobs Tower in Dubai.
Encyclopedic knowledge teaches children common sense
The AR globe contains countless encyclopedias, which will use the simplest language to tell children what the 197 countries in the world are like. What is the difference between a polar bear and an Antarctic bear, and why a panda is our national treasure.
There's also a wealth of astronomical knowledge, such as how the weather is formed, why the sky rains; how the planets move, and why there are stars above our heads.
These common senses will accompany the child throughout his life, so that he can recognize the true face of the world from an early age.
Live-action explanations tell children everything
Of course, children can't recognize so many words. Fortunately, this is also in the consideration of AR globe designers.
On the AR globe, in addition to the text, it will match the voice of the relative real person. As a result, in addition to seeing real 4D pictures, children can also be accompanied by live commentary. The real thing is to go see a wonderful world-class 4D movie.
With such a wonderful AR globe, will children still not pay attention to learning? It is also this secret that directly sold out 100,000 units in one minute!
AR technology globe can stimulate children's imagination, let children feel the wonders of the world at home, help children open up a broader vision and vision, and win at the starting line. The original price of 299 yuan is now the New Year's event price free shipping only 99 yuan! It is only the cost of the child's last cram school, but it is the basic common sense of the world that affects the child's life.
