The Film and Television Journey from the Big Era

The mansion gate is marked with the words 'Wangfu'...

Chapter 85 写诗投稿

"Master, here we are," the coachman said humbly.

Ding Peng asked about the money for the car, a total of 2 copper dollars.

At this time, although most of the prices are mainly in silver dollars, the face value of a silver dollar is very large.

The exchange rate is, one silver dollar is equal to 10 cents, which is equal to 100 cents.

And 1 dime is equal to 30 copper dollars, which is equal to 300 copper coins, which is 300 coins.

However, after 1920, due to rising prices, copper coins have been abandoned, and copper dollars have become the main currency in circulation.

This is equivalent to, in modern society, it is rare to see a penny, and the smallest denomination is also a dime.

With reference to prices, during this period, the monthly salary of high-skilled workers was about 10 silver dollars.

Foreman, about 20 silver dollars.

For a family of four, 12 silver dollars a month is enough to live on.

If you earn more than 50 silver dollars a month, you belong to the middle class.

Ding Peng has 5.7 million silver dollars on him. You can imagine what Ding Peng has become.

In this era, the literati were preferentially treated, and Mr. Lu Xun's monthly salary was 300 silver dollars, which was a proper high-income class.

Not to mention the professors and principals in those universities.

One by one is rich and oily.

It is precisely because they are not worried about food and clothing that these literati have the spare time to write some romantic poems that hurt the Spring and Autumn.

In contrast, the lives of people at the bottom are very poor.

A coachman can earn 5 silver dollars a month, and he is barely able to survive.

Ding Peng took out a silver dollar, and the driver found him a large amount of copper dollars.

Ding Peng thought for a while, took out two copper coins, and handed them to the driver: "You will be rewarded."

The driver was overjoyed, and bowed to thank him again and again, with auspicious words in his mouth: "Thank you, young master, for the money, I wish the young master a lot of money, a sweet wife and a beautiful concubine, and you can enjoy it..."

Ding Peng laughed loudly and replied, "I borrow your auspicious words."

After getting out of the car, Ding Peng tidied up his clothes, then knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone there?"

The door opened, and a servant stuck out his head and asked, "Master, what's the matter with you?"

Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and if they wear well, the attitude of others will be more polite.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that wearing decent clothes can protect you from being bullied by inferior people. (Mr. Lu Xun said, I did say this.)

Ding Peng smiled slightly and said, "I see that this house is good, and I want to buy it. The price is easy to negotiate."

Want to buy a house?

Naturally, this old servant couldn't take charge of such a big event. He asked Ding Peng to wait outside the door, and then went into the house and told Mr. Wang that he had gone.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a blue robe came out. When he saw Ding Peng, who was well-dressed, like a foreign student who had stayed abroad, he couldn't help asking, "Is the young master wanting to buy my house?"

Ding Peng nodded and said, "The price is easy to negotiate."

Mr. Wang looked Ding Peng up and down and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to rent it, or just buy it?"

"Buy it directly, rent it, it's a lot of trouble." Ding Peng replied.

Mr. Wang thought about it and asked, "How much can the young master pay?"

Ding Peng stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand silver dollars, not a lot, a lot, sir, would you like to sell it? If not, I'll go to another house."

This price is already very high. You must know that according to the current price, renting a courtyard house in Peiping is only [-] silver dollars per month.

And how can his house be compared with a courtyard house, it's not even a quarter of it.

Mr. Wang was very satisfied with the price. He thought about it for a while and finally agreed happily.

Of course, if the other party wants to move out, it will take time, and it will take two days at the earliest.

Ding Peng didn't mind waiting a few days. The big deal was that he would stay in a nearby hotel for a few days.

Taking out the banknotes worth [-] silver dollars, Ding Peng handed it to the other party in exchange for a house deed.

In this era, because it was still in turmoil, the identity certificate was not yet popularized. It was not until Chiang Kai-shek led the Northern Expedition, from Guangzhou to Peiping, occupied this place, and established the National Government, that the popularization of household registration and identity certificate began to be vigorously promoted. .

After receiving the deed, Ding Peng left the palace and found a good hotel nearby to stay.

He is not short of money at all now, so there is no need to save money, everything is based on a high quality of life.

Bought some good snacks on the street and brought them back to the room. Ding Peng ate and drank while thinking about his next actions.

Before crossing, he had already thought about it, this time, it was just a re-organization.

First, he's going to start publishing.

He must write explosive articles as soon as possible, quickly gain fame in the literary world, and then become a great writer in the Republic of China.
