The Economics of Dream of the Red Chamber

Whether it is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan or 2 to 3 million yuan is a matter of debate.

Can you verify how much it cost to build the garden? In fact, I'm quite annoyed by those who don't have the common sense to say they spent millions. You must know that Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, spent a total of 116,000 taels of silver to build Changchun Garden for Emperor Kangxi. It can't be more expensive than the emperor's palace.

Is Baoyu's birthday a hoeing day or some other festival? It's possible.

There are also eggs. The eggs in Jia's house cost one or two silver each. What about the chickens and rice in Jia's house?

Dear, Princess Hejia is included in the dowry. There are ten thousand taels of silver and other silk and satin furnishings. These also cost money~ And in the original article, when Sister Feng talked about the marriage, she also said that Sister Lin and Baoyu were getting married, and Jia Mu should give ten thousand taels to each person.

Well, Li Wanyue probably has a lot of money because she is a widow...

Dad, are you a boy or a girl?

That's fine with other things, but the Salt Patrol Censor is by no means as unprofitable as you, the author, said. You only need to consider the living standards of the Jia family in the book. The Rong family's monthly salary is probably close to ten thousand taels per year, while other things such as food, accommodation, travel, jewelry and clothes, and raising Qingke's husband and wife are even more expensive. Even 100,000 taels can't afford it. Let's do the math for the Cao family at this level. , The acres of land he copied should be real numbers. Ten thousand taels of silver is a lot of money for how much income the fields can bring in a year, and the money for the litigation and other matters is private money, so most of the Cao family's expenses come from the salt administration, and the rest is used to pay back the money. As for why this little money was copied? Of course, I heard about it and transferred it beforehand. Otherwise, if nothing else, any grandma or wife would not have only this amount of money in their private house.
