In a word, the money needed to buy a servant is actually uncertain. First of all, we should examine the qualifications of employees to determine the price, such as age, appearance, talent, physical strength and so on. Secondly, the price level in different periods is also different. Although it can be compared by conversion, the actual situation is very different and the results are completely different. If you fantasize about traveling with hundreds of thousands of people in ancient times and becoming a rich man, you can live in a big house and buy a few servants to serve yourself, which is completely impossible.
In ancient times, only the rich could afford to hire servants. Buying a qualified servant may ruin your family. Therefore, the market value of employees aged 10-30 is relatively low. Here, hardworking men can be seen everywhere, and the forecast is much lower than IHHSINQUOIO, so the price is relatively low. However, if these beautiful young women have some special talents, the cost will often rise, which cannot be summarized. I mean, every servant bought his own life with less than one seventh of the silver.
There is also a special existence among servants, that is, girls from poor families were bought from childhood to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and then sold to wealthy businessmen at high prices, which is the so-called thin horse Yangzhou. These girls are qualified to be concubines, but they are different from concubines. According to the records in the golden urn, the first-class thin horse can be sold to 1500 Jin of silver. They are expensive, but they usually end in tragedy.
