Speaking of "showing off wealth", some people may think that this is unique to modern people, and it is also a very offensive behavior, but in fact, the behavior of "showing off wealth" has also existed in ancient times, even more exaggerated, and the meaning of the existence of local tycoons is to think of ways to show off your wealth, lest the people of the world do not know how rich they are, and today I will tell you about The Crazy Man shi Chong, a rich maniac in the Western Jin Dynasty. Shi Chong's home can be said that in addition to the imperial palace, the tallest building in the capital, the most magnificent looking, the most magnificent, are all his family. Needless to say, the living room bedroom, even his family's toilet is simply a super five-star standard, luxurious decoration, exquisite details, and a dozen very iconic waitresses wearing brocade embroidered clothes, specially for the toilet guests to provide thoughtful and considerate service. However, there are also many rules for going to the toilet in the home of the local tycoon, and Shi Chong has specially stipulated that all guests who go to the toilet at home must change their clothes after the end. Of course, this dress is provided by Shi Chong for free, not because he is afraid of the smell on the clothes, mainly because some are money, and they must have style.
There was an official named Liu Shi, who was very frugal, did everything himself, and did everything himself. Once, when he went to Shi Chong's house as a guest, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and wanted to go to the toilet. But after entering this high-end bathroom, I saw that there was a chest of drawers, a tea seat, a bed, a futon, and a dozen beautiful waitresses, and his intuition told him that he might have gone to the wrong place, so he withdrew and said to Shi Chong, I really can't help it, I just wanted to go to the toilet but ran to your inner room. After hearing this, Shi Chong laughed and said triumphantly: You are not wrong, this is my family's toilet. Liu Shi was very embarrassed to say, your pomp is too big, I can't afford to enjoy it, I have to go out to find a public toilet.
In addition to these hardware conditions, Shi Chongjia's software does not have to say, the wife group of more than a hundred people is also very eye-catching, and all of them are born beautiful and beautiful, and the decorations worn on the body are also particularly exquisite, jade agate gold and silver jewelry are rare in the world, and many are privately customized products. In addition, Shi Chong is also very experienced in managing his wives, and girls should know that if they want to maintain a perfect body, the most important thing is to control their diet. Because the Shi Chong's family was poor, there was only money left, so Shan Zhen Hai Wei became the biggest enemy of the Tai Tuan. Shi Chong, in order to make each of his wives become international supermodels, sprinkled agarwood on his ivory bed, and then let the wives walk cat steps, walking past who did not leave footprints to show that the body is light and the body is well-proportioned, and 100 pearls are rewarded, and if anyone leaves footprints, he has to think about the wall.
In this way, Shi Chong's feeling of being alone and seeking defeat is not fun at all, because there is no harm without contrast, and there is no sense of achievement without contrast. At this time, there was a person who was eager to try, seeing that Shi Chong was too deserant, and wanted to give him some color, this person was Wang Kai, the uncle of Sima Yan, the emperor of The Jin Dynasty. Wang Kai is also a big family and a relative of the emperor, so he is also a rich and wayward lord, so the two people began to secretly compete and began several rounds of show off their wealth performances.
In the first round, Wang Kai finished eating, and even washed the pot with sugar water to show that his family had a lot of sugar and could not use it. Here Shi Chong heard about it, so he used the candle as a firewood to burn, proving that my family's candles could not be used up, so it was said that the two sides of this round were drawn. In the second round, Wang Kai made forty miles of purple silk cloth step barriers, equivalent to screens, and Shi Chong did fifty miles of splendid embroidery steps, and the splendid embroidery here was much more expensive than the silk cloth, so it was obvious that Shi Chong had won the game. In the third round, Wang Kai used red stone grease to paint the wall, that is, to use a red mineral to smear his own wall, Shi Chong directly pasted the wall with peppercorns, and the peppercorns were very, very valuable at that time, so Shi Chong won again in this round.
Wang Kai was very annoyed, this is also too faceless, it seems that he must make a big move, so he went to his nephew Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu, to see if there were any strange treasures in the palace, and he could definitely kill Shi Chong in a second. Sima Yan was also very attentive, in order to save the face of the Wang family, he carefully selected a coral tree two feet high among the many treasures, which is rare in the world. After Wang Kai got this big treasure, he quickly invited Shi Chong to come and fight the treasure, but after Shi Chong's arrival, he skimmed his lips, and then he did a surprising thing, he actually used the iron ruyi he carried with him to smash the coral tree into a mess, and his mouth still muttered: These are all some broken things. Wang Kai was very angry, thinking that Shi Chong was jealous of himself, but Shi Chong said to Wang Kai: My lord, what is the use of keeping these broken things, brothers give you better. Then let people move out of the home a lot of coral trees, Shi Chong's coral trees, some three feet high and some four feet high, and all of them are the world's finest, Wang Kai this time is a complete failure.
So where did Shi Chong's huge wealth come from, and why did his family have more treasures than the palace? Shi Chong's father was Shi Bao, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, so he can also be regarded as the second generation of officials of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, but his starting family has almost nothing to do with his father, and when his father died, the family property was divided, and other brothers and sisters were divided, but they were not given points, why? In the words of his father: My son will definitely have a future appearance. Therefore, it seems that Shi Chong,From an early age, shi Chong's unique temperament is different from other people's, and then in his 20s, his official achievements are also very prominent and very accomplished, so he was promoted all the way, and his career was particularly smooth, but when he was official to Jingzhou, his entire painting style suddenly changed, and perhaps people were prone to become greasy as soon as they reached middle age, so he changed the image of the virtuous and capable before, and became particularly greedy and obscene, and his large wealth was also accumulated during this period.
Shi Chong's way of accumulating wealth is also simple and rude, that is, he uses the power in his hands to directly do the business of the underworld bandits, and the rich merchants who come and go do not leave their wealth, then leave their lives, and they will soon become big local tycoons. Some people may wonder, so unscrupulous, is no one in charge? Someone must have managed it, but Shi Chong didn't care, because there were people above him, and the object of Shi Chong's attachment in the official arena was Jia Nanfeng's nephew Jia Mi. However, life is sometimes a parabola, and when you stand at the top, fate begins to decline. In the sima zheng period, the imperial court was very chaotic, and later Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, launched a coup d'état and killed Jia Nanfeng, and Jia Mi was also killed later, because Shi Chong's party was Jia Mi's party, so he was later dismissed, which is not difficult to guess what the final outcome of Shi Chong's later was.
Sima Lun, the King of Zhao, had a fierce general named Sun Xiu, who had a crush on one of Shi Chong's wives named Lu Zhu, but this Green Pearl girl also happened to be deeply favored by Shi Chong. Sun Xiu naturally wanted it in particular, and Shi Chong naturally did not agree, so Sun Xiu made rumors to Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and eventually caused Shi Chong's killing. When Shi Chong was dying, he suddenly realized: They are not actually taking my life, they are trying to take my family wealth!
