Prices and living standards of the people in Ethiopia
The general setting refers to the prices of ancient China during the peaceful and prosperous period
A family has 100 mu of farmland, including 70 mu of grain and 30 mu of silk and linen. Vegetables and vegetables are produced in front of the house and behind the house. It is produced in a year. After deducting costs, it is about 40 acres. Even if this is a well-off family, the family lacks labor, can't reclaim many fields, and the income is as small as 20-30. This is an ordinary family. In addition, if the owner is lazy and wants to hire a hired employee, he can only barely live with 15 years of income.
Daily necessities:
White rice: 2 articles per catty
Chicken: 20 yuan/kg
Fish: 25 pieces/kg
Cattle and sheep: 25 articles/jin
Pork: 35wen/kg (because it needs to be raised and added)
Duck eggs: 20 articles/jin
eggs: 25 articles/jin
Chinese cabbage: 1 article/jin
Small vegetables: 1.5 liters/kg
Garlic leek: 5-8 pieces/kg
10-20/kg
Oil: 30/kg
Salt: 10/kg
Cotton: 50/kg
cloth: 10-20/foot thick
Silk: 50-200 text/foot
Price of blades and mules:
Ordinary 30 steel knife, weighs 2 catties, 4 jin, 100 steel knives, 2 catties 20 s, blood steel knives, 8 gold equivalent to 800 s, and the sword like the protagonist weighs 5 catties and 9 taels, almost as high as 15 gold.
800 ordinary one-stone semi-recurve composite bow, 3 stone samurai bow, 500 pieces per piece. Blood-smelting long bow 15 gold, because Warcraft blood is no less than steel knife quenching, and three or four bow strings made of Warcraft tendons.
Donkey, mule 1 gold.
2 gold, ox and horned horse, easy to serve, just eat grass. Long-range climbing is similar to that of a war horse, which is extremely slow.
Ordinary war horse 4 gold, meticulous service, need to be fed with refined materials. The speed is much faster than the horned horse, but because it is easy to lose fat after climbing and needs to be raised, so remote climbing will be similar to the horned horse. Otherwise, the horse will be ruined.
Land and property prices:
Land: It's almost free. After reclamation and registration, it is to collect the cost of a certificate. Some people may also want it, about a few silver coins.
A set of ordinary quadrangle courtyards (with front and rear courtyards), 20-30 gold.
Manor-style mansion: 100-200 gold.
A two-story house with 4 gold.
Manual and industry wages:
One day of work, according to different industries, there is a big difference: general workers 20-70, technical workers 100-200, one month, 500-1500, one year general food and accommodation, 5 silver coins-2 gold (general 1 gold).
It's similar to selling and opening a store: for example, selling steamed buns, etc., is only 50 a day, selling fewer vegetables, maybe only 30 yuan, and killing pigs for meat costs hundreds, but this is not killed every day, so the average is only 780
Official's salary (nobility, non-holy):
Knight 5 gold, Baron 20 gold, Viscount 100 gold, Earl 300 gold (but under special circumstances, I'm waiting for you to give one, in fact, I don't pay the salary). The above belongs to the family, the marquis 500, and the grain cost is about 500, the Duke 700, the grain value 700, the king 1000, the grain value 1000. No more, all the land
The feudal nobles can generally collect 0.5-1 silver coins/year from each leader:
Become a scholar: Xiushi and samurai (who must be middle-class warriors), and the state gives 20-50 mu of good land, increasing 5 silver coins to 1 gold income a year
Knight 5-10, a small village, 100-200 people, and of course about 100 civilians, taxed by the state
Baron: 20-50, several villages, a large village, 1000-2000 people, 1/3 civilians
Viscount: 150-300, a town, there will be 4000-6000 people, 2/5 civilians
Count: 500-1000, half or 1/3 of a county is his, 10,000-20,000 people, half civilians
Marquis: More than 2000, there will be many fiefs, which may exceed one county, some of which cannot be calculated. He will have 50,000-100,000 people, and more than 3/5 are civilians
Duke, it can't be calculated. On the surface, hundreds of thousands of people in a province are under his control. There are not many taxes collected, only six or seven thousand gold
So, in fact, 1.5 gold is enough for a family of five. If it is a well-off home, eat more and play with decorations, then 4、5 gold
All nobles produce 1/4 of the output and 1/2 of the raise, except for the cost, there is actually not much left
Officials: 18 gold, 15 gold in the second grade, 13 gold in the third grade, 10 gold in the fourth grade, 8 gold in the sixth grade, 4.5 gold in the sixth grade, 4.5 gold in the eighth grade, 3.5 gold in the ninth grade, 3 gold in the ninth grade (staff master), and 2 gold in charge of food and housing, so the people only need some craftsmanship. If you don't want to be a job, it's better to do some odd jobs to make money; so it's called corvée, and you have to take turns to come. But as a soldier, he is extremely enthusiastic. First, everyone must participate in the battle. Second, he is meritorious and can improve his identity as a result.
If it must be compared with the current price, I think it should be worth 5 yuan - people said, how can it be? White rice costs 2 articles, and 1 article is about one yuan at most.
But I despise the comparison of food. Why? Now it is mechanized construction with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, but at that time it was only 200 catties. Moreover, in terms of social structure, at that time, the land was mostly in the hands of hundreds of surnames. The people were monopolies and the main components of society. The status was similar to that of petroleum and petrochemicals, and food prices naturally went up.
Now farmers are the lowest stripped, saying that there is no tax, but the purchase price of grain is extremely low, and foreign-subsidized grain imports are used to suppress it. Otherwise, ask: Will you refuse to charge him if the gasoline is set at 80 cents per liter and will not be taxed? Or all farmers only set up two agricultural companies, and the grain import rights and pricing rights are determined by these two companies, okay?
Let's compare it vertically: in the 1970s and 1980s, I bought 6 or 7 cents per catty of grain when the yield was 300 mu. Vegetable eggplant is 2 minutes (1 and a half when it is low), and the highest price is 4 or 5 minutes, which is only one-tenth of the grain. 3 or 4 hairs of belt fish, 2 hairs of small fish. Nowadays, grain costs more than 3 yuan, vegetables costs up to 6 or 7 yuan, Wangshi also costs 1.5 yuan, and belt fish costs 20 yuan. The price has risen 50-100 times (and now fishing trawls are rampant, and the belt fish should rise less). Other pork feed is poisonous. We can't compare with it, but it has also increased 20 times. The number of big yellow fish and small yellow fish has decreased, and it is difficult to salvage. In this way, white rice will only be reasonable until 30-60 yuan per catty (grain production is as high as 1,000 catties, but vegetable production is more than this proportion, and trawl fishing is even more powerful).
Therefore, it is more reasonable to use handmade products or manual wages,
Now a hand bow and arrow 3,000 to 4,000, a handmade sword from iron sand (not the finished iron embryo) to the finished product, weighing 2 kg and 15,000 (and inferior). The cheapest foreign workers are 2,000 (US dollars) per month, so 1 article is roughly set at less than 1 US dollar, which should be in terms of purchasing power.
1.5 gold is barely enough for an ordinary family of five, which is equivalent to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which is similar to the current situation of husband and wife working. It is also consistent with the situation of working alone abroad and the whole family.
