Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 456: world

456th

Summarizing the experience of the previous five lives, Wei Dongsheng knew that this physical body was gradually reaching its limit, and the sixth life could end at any time. Considering that his life has come to an end, Wei Dongsheng simply no longer focuses on those long-term plans, summing up the gains and losses of the sixth life in advance.

...

1633 was the sixth year of Chongzhen in the real world. The Zhu Ming Dynasty had already suffered from internal and external troubles. After Jin Jisi's change of army and plundered the capital, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng also became famous. But in this time and space, the Jurchen and other tribes were gradually converted by the Yan Fan many years ago. No Nurhachi, or Jianzhou Jurchen, have disappeared, as if there were no such people. Dao is Luo Fan, who was built on the ruins of the Russian Empire. A few years ago, a titan nicknamed "Wild Boar" emerged. It is said that his ancestors have some Jurchen blood. I don't know if he can resonate with Nurhachi.

However, even if there are tribes who want to make trouble, they may not be able to become a climate. Since the War between Mao Jiuzhong and Wei Yan, Yan Fan has been sluggish for many years, as if poverty and weakness are not threatening at all. However, Mao Jiuzhong and Wei Wuzu phalanx tactics have long been spread throughout the Wei Xia Empire, and Yan Fan also reformed the army based on the Wei Wuzu phalanx. There were countless field artillery accumulations and sufficient strength and organization to suppress nomadic tribes and fishing and hunting tribes. .

Of course, the climate of Little Glacier cannot be ignored.

The reduction in grain production caused by the Little Glacier climate also caused countless political and economic crises to the Tang, Zhou, and Jin vassals, and local rice prices continued to soar. However, the Tang, Zhou, Jin, and Zhao vassal states had advantages that the Zhu Ming Dynasty did not have. On the one hand, they could quickly quell civil unrest in various places, and mercilessly resell the hungry people to colonies such as Penglai in the name of exile; China actively purchases grain at high prices to make up for part of the grain gap.

In all this, Shaanxi Province and other places have at most sporadic civil upheavals, but there have never been big gangsters like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. Based on the present deduction in the future, the Wei Xia dynasty should no longer perform the sad song of Jiashen's change and repeat the mistakes of the Zhu Ming dynasty.

...

On this day, Wei Dongsheng was learning about the climate crisis in Xiaobinghe. The security department suddenly notified: “A tourist named Fang Chengtai, who claims to be the dean (Wei Dongsheng), is an old friend. I hope the dean will take the time to meet him for a while."

Fang Chengtai.

Wei Dongsheng remembered for a long time, only then did he remember who Fang Chengtai was.

After seeing Fang Chengtai again after fifty years, his face was pale and wrinkled, and his life was obviously at an end. Simply talking about the old things, Fang Chengtai hesitated and said: "I heard that Xiaoxiao Suitinghou (Wei Dongsheng) has come to Lu State?"

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "Qian Faqun and Qian Xiaoxiao helped me do things in Xiadi first, and then both settled in Ludi."

Fang Chengtai's voice trembled: "Is she okay?"

Wei Dongsheng shook his head regretfully: "She has passed away for more than ten years."

Fang Chengtai felt lost, and after a long time he asked again: "Is she happy when she left?"

Wei Dongsheng: "It should be."

Fang Chengtai muttered to himself: "That's good."

Wei Dongsheng: "The tombs of Qian Faqun and Qian Xiaoxiao are buried at the foot of Laoshan Mountain. Are you going to see it?"

Fang Chengtai got up and thanked: "Thank you Tinghou."

Fang Chengtai talked a lot about the past, saying that he did not know about Qian Faqun’s rescue of Qian Xiaoxiao, and was deliberately misled into Qian Xiaoxiao’s death in chaos. Since then, Fang Chengtai has abandoned innocence and dreams, desperately climbing up the political quagmire of intrigue. After the Xia Lu Wu War broke out, the Baron Shen family was killed, Fang Chengtai had the opportunity to support his grandson to inherit the Baron Shen family's inheritance. Afterwards, Fang Chengtai assembled the resources of the Baron Shen family to bring down several powerful enemies. He accidentally learned that Qian Xiaoxiao had actually been rescued by Qian Faqun that year. He immediately searched Qian Xiaoxiao's whereabouts eagerly, and finally found Wei He Academy.

The above is the life of Fang Chengtai.

Wei Dongsheng did not carefully question Fang Chengtai's and Qian Xiaoxiao's entanglement. Some things passed away. After all, time ruthlessly concealed all their love and hatred. Wei Dongsheng had seen many things like Fang Chengtai's lonely figure during his training.

...

Wei Dongsheng died in 1635 at the age of 71.

...

Time buffered on the 18th, the seventh life experience was unveiled.

...

In 1650, Wei Shengming died of illness and his son Wei Junyang succeeded as the 16th emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty.

From 1635 to 1653, when Wei Dongsheng left, Wei Xia divided the empire with few interesting changes worth mentioning. Lu Fan and Wu Fan made peace, Wei Fan was repelled by Zhao Fan, and the imperial family's idea of ​​annexing Wu Fan or cede Wu Fan finally ceased. The result is still a stalemate in the balance of power in Kyushu for hundreds of years.

The lens focuses on Wei Dongsheng's seventh life experience.

Wei Dongsheng's status as the seventh generation continued to decline, and his nominal father was only a small employee of the Lu Fan Hesheng Chamber of Commerce.

Summarizing the background of the previous seven generations, Wei Dongsheng gradually understood the law. The nominal fathers of the previous four generations can all be classified as the ruling class. The strong can lead to the direction of national policy, and the weak can also control a certain region or industry to a certain extent.

The nominal fathers of the fifth to sixth lives can only be classified as the middle class.

The fifth-generation father, although the official title is the mayor, can actually be regarded as the secretary of a real-world county party committee or deputy department-level cadre in China. They are inextricably linked with the ruling class, but it is difficult for them to impose their will on a certain region or industry, the so-called seven-grade sesame official.

The sixth-generation father can be regarded as a small business owner. It is difficult for them to establish close and seamless cooperative relations with the ruling class, but they have their own business. The popular opinion of successful people in the general sense of public opinion refers to the wealthy civilians in this class. Ordinary civilians can sigh proudly when they reach this level: "I finally have my own career, and I will live this life in vain."

The seventh-generation father can be regarded as a small employee of a well-known enterprise. They do not have their own business for the time being, but they have some future hope or room for improvement. If the workplace is running smoothly, there is a chance that you will enter the sixth level, or climb to the senior management of the company, and have the influence to interfere with the direction of the company; or quit your job and start a business and own a small business of your own. And if the workplace is squandered without success, then you can only follow the trend for a lifetime, pin the future on the future of the enterprise, and stay honestly in the seventh class.

The nominal fathers of the fifth to seventh generation belong to the broad middle class. However, because the seventh class has the largest population, it also has the most universal significance. Even if it belongs to the low-end middle class in nature, it is gradually distorted by public opinion and rendered into the mainstream middle class and gradually transformed into the image of the middle class.

In other words, Wei Dongsheng's seventh-life experience background was further reduced to a typical middle class.

The nominal father died in 1650, leaving Wei Dongsheng with a residence and a deposit of 250 silver dollars.

The sixth generation father left to Wei Dongsheng’s small Wei family firm. When the nominal father died, the net profit was only 350 silver dollars. So simple comparison, it seems that 249 yuan is also a huge sum of money. Moreover, when the nominal father worked in the Hesheng Chamber of Commerce as a small employee, his annual salary was as high as 83 silver dollars, which is more than the annual salary of Qian Faqun during the period of the small Weijia Commercial Bank. However, the account book cannot be calculated in this way. First, the annual net profit of the small Weijia Commercial Bank is not the same as the fixed assets. Secondly, the value of 1 silver dollar in 1582 and 1 silver dollar in 1653 are completely different.

Especially in the past 1652, because of rumors that Lu Fan was preparing to issue silver dollars with less silver in his financial crisis, "the face value increased by 25%, and the silver content decreased to 80%." A tragic crisis broke out in the financial market, and the risk of devaluation of the silver dollar increased. Several times. The nominal father and the nominal mother worked hard for the first half of their lives and barely left Wei Dongsheng with a total deposit of 250 silver dollars.

The estate has only one residence and a total deposit of 250 silver dollars. Finally, Wei Dongsheng no longer has to worry about the regents or the slaves to deceive the Lord.

It's not that people's hearts suddenly changed for the better, but that the nominal father has neither subjects nor servants.

Without the family business of captive vicious slaves, it is naturally impossible for vicious slaves to deceive the Lord.

Of course, upper-class families have troubles of upper-class families, and middle-class families also have troubles of middle-class families.

The seventh-generation nominal parents have a sense of anxiety that prevails in the middle class. They hope that Wei Dongsheng can break the yoke of the class and climb up. Even if the hope is shattered, they must at least keep the seventh-class status and never fall to the eighth class. Because of this and that kind of anxiety, the seventh-generation parents do their best to provide their children with the best educational conditions. When the nominal father's annual salary is only 83 silver dollars, they are frugal and send Wei Dongsheng to a school. A high-end private school with an annual tuition and fees of up to 72 silver dollars. With such a heavy burden of education, parents of the seventh generation can still save 250 silver dollars, which shows how much they value their children's education.

Unfortunately, Wei Dongsheng failed the ardent hopes of the seventh-generation parents.

Similar to the setting of the sixth generation, Wei Dongsheng's seventh generation came from a background that was also a failed student.

At the same time, in the three years from 1650 to 1653 when the nominal father died, after deducting 72 silver dollars per year for tuition and miscellaneous expenses and the necessary expenses for survival, the 250 silver dollar inheritance has almost been spent. Wei Dongsheng turned the interior and exterior of the house upside down, and found that there was only a pitiful 3 silver dollars 187 left.

Remarks explain some monetary policies. When the Wei Xia Empire tried to implement the silver standard system, one silver dollar could be exchanged for 600 copper coins, but as the price of silver depreciated and copper prices continued to increase, it was forced to adjust to one silver dollar for 360 copper coins.

The money cannot be said to be small.

Considering that Wei Dongsheng owns his own house, 1 silver dollar and 187 yuan can completely survive for two to three months at low cost. However, it was difficult for Wei Dongsheng to make a difference with this. Don’t talk about starting a business, just want to go back to the alma mater for a year, there is no way, after all, the tuition and miscellaneous fees of the alma mater are expensive to 72 silver dollars a year, how can no father and no mother can afford it? It is not feasible to go to other schools, because contemporary schools are all elite education, and the cheapest one in the surrounding schools also has to pay 28 silver dollars in tuition and fees every year.

The truly poor are not qualified to study at all.

Even after more than three hundred years of development, Lu Fan is still illiterate everywhere.
