Referring to the TV series that have been chased after the 80s and 90s, I think I must have chased "The Legend of Wulin", this drama can also be said to have accompanied the entire childhood of the editor, every summer vacation, each David TV will take turns to play this TV series, so that the editor will chase several times every time, and it cannot be forgotten for a long time.
The actors of this drama were not big names at that time, the costumes and props were not sophisticated at all according to the current words, and even the director said that in order to save box lunch money, the actors were directly allowed to perform "eat and broadcast" in the play.
However, this drama has finally become a classic of a generation, Tong Xiangyu who cut the door, Bai Zhantang who is timid as a mouse, Mo Xiaobei who is childlike, Guo Furong who does not know the height of the sky, Lü Qinghou who is poor and poor, Li Dazui who is not good at cooking, plus two fast catchers who are unreliable all day long and want to handle big cases, constitute the memories of the whole play.
Of course, at that time, we had a question, that is, the salary of the guys in the play was only two dollars of silver a month, in the play we know that this salary level is very low, when the sable cicada spent ten times the wage to invite them to go to the next door, most of them were moved, so from this point of view, Tong Xiangyu did cut the door, so how much is the two silver? According to the price level at that time, can you feed yourself?
To answer this question, we must first clarify what year the play roughly belongs to, in the play we can vaguely see the East Factory, JinyiWei, Liumen and other organizations, with these few terms we can roughly analyze the "Wulin Wai biography" in the Ming Dynasty period.
According to the record of gu yanwu's "Rizhilu" of the early Qing Dynasty, "Hongwu's eighteen-year regulations, silver one or two for rice and two stones, one stone in the Ming Dynasty is equal to 188.8 kilograms today, that is to say, one or two silver can be exchanged for 377.6 kilograms of rice", and now the price of rice is about three pieces of a pound, that is to say, one or two silver can be exchanged for more than 1100, and 2 silver is 0.2 two, so the conversion is Guo Furong only 220 yuan a month.
If tong Xiangyu is absolutely sued to the labor bureau according to the current situation, and the wages of workers are deducted, which is lower than the market average, this is not just the word "door" can be described.
However, we must know that even in ancient times, the price of prices in each period was different, Guo Furong's salary was calculated according to the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and the background of the play should be in the late Ming Dynasty, the well in the backyard was during the Zhengde period, plus the emperor ascended the throne for seven years and six months, and the Longqing Emperor reigned for only six years, so the era of "Wulin Waichuan" should be in the seventh year of the Wanli Calendar Zhang Juzheng's reign:
During this period of frequent disasters, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred from time to time, and it is absolutely unreasonable to convert the price of rice in the conversion method of the Hongwu years, because the occurrence of natural disasters and man-made disasters led to an increase in the price of rice, so "things are scarce and expensive" In the past, 1 or 2 silver can buy rice that can be bought at this time.
For example, in the "Miscellaneous Records of Observations and News", it is recorded that in the sixteen years of Wanli, the price of rice has risen threefold, and the original 1 or 2 silver can buy 377.6 kg of rice, but in the 16th year of wanli, the price of rice has risen sharply, and the original rice that can be bought with one or two silver has tripled, and the original 1 or 12 silver 1132 yuan is only about 370 yuan at this time, that is to say, Guo Furong's monthly salary during the Wanli period is only about 60 yuan, which can be said to be not described as miserable.
So can Guo Furong feed herself at this level? Not to mention, although there are only two pieces of silver, but she lives quite neatly every month, just as her identity as a "second generation official", it is really not difficult for her to leave, is this not after leaving and coming back.
In addition, although Tong Xiangyu is quite sharp, but the welfare treatment is really a lot, at that time, the staff of the Tongfu Inn was packed every day, and did not need them to pay any food and accommodation fees, and we can see that tong Xiangyu did not deduct the staff food on the meal fee, the meal has big fish and meat, and the kitchen snacks can be eaten casually, which saves them a lot of expenses.
If the employee is injured, Tong Xiangyu will also bear the medical expenses for you, which is still very humane.
So on the whole, Guo Furong's salary level is definitely far lower than the average wage of that era, in that era, the living expenses of ordinary people were about one or two silver to two or two silver a month, and Guo Furong's salary was far below the average, which was absolutely irrefutable for Tong Xiangyu to squeeze the wages of employees.
But from another point of view, who in this drama is poor in money? When I was a child, I felt that they were very poor, and when I grew up, I knew that this group of people was not bad at all, and the truth of this was that you tasted, you tasted.
