The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Who dares to be more high-profile than the richest man?

Even people like Ouyang Bijin and Wang Chongyang were dumbfounded, staring closely at the opposite side

If modern people pretend to be aggressive, they are nothing more than beauties with luxury cars

But when it comes to pretending to be aggressive, the ancients were countless LEVELs higher than today's people

Because the pretense of the ancients is more connotative and tasteful, and more... radiant

One of the concentrated manifestations is that

chair bearer

There were no cars in the Ming Dynasty, and the sedan chair was an external artifact installed by the dignitaries.Ordinary people can be equipped with four-person sedan chairs, sewn with expensive lace silver thread, which can already highlight the luxury and identity of the owner (first of all, you must be able to support at least 4 bearers, and you must have a special sedan chair hall, where sedan chairs are parked, similar to a garage), if it can be equipped with a butler, and two servants will come in front and back to hug each other, and it will have more status if it can accommodate eight seats

However, the luxurious sedan chairs on the opposite side are all eight-carrying large sedan chairs

This is so cool, it's so pretty.

Of course there is a difference between an eight-person sedan chair, a four-person sedan chair, and a two-person sedan chair.

This difference is almost quite different between a luxury car with a displacement of more than 4 and a million dollars, a good car with more than 30, and an economical car under 10.

Converted to ancient times, the cost of an eight-person sedan is definitely much more expensive than a modern million-level luxury car, at least comparable to the king's 500 million Bentley.

Being able to use an eight-person sedan chair not only shows wealth, but also shows social status

For example, Jack Ma and others who have just pretended to be aggressive, although they are also the richest man in Ming Dynasty, they can only sit in a sedan chair for four people, or a sedan chair for eight people.

I dare not sit down.Not even with affirmative action

Because the eight-person sedan chair must have the royal title, or official position, or the emperor's kindness to dare to ride, otherwise it is overstepping.

The affirmative action bill just abolished the unequal treatment of businessmen in the past, and gave them the same political status and treatment as ten people, but it didn't stipulate that you can overstep

Otherwise, the bright yellow holy cars are running all over the street, is it plausible?

Therefore, one can tell at a glance through the sedan chair, what is the social and economic status of this person?

The guys in front of me who live in eight seats at every turn must be big shots with official status

Even Jack Ma and other people on the rich list all cast surprised glances

Those sedan chairs stopped, and a group of luxuriously dressed people came down one after another

These people are all dressed in the fourth-rank official uniforms of the imperial court. No wonder they can enjoy the eight-person sedan chair on the ground.

In the Ming Dynasty, only officials of the fourth grade or above were eligible to sit in a sedan chair for eight people and live in eight seats.

But for people like Ouyang Bijin and Wang Chongyang, these fourth-rank officials are not unattainable. Ouyang Bijin himself is a second-rank official.

but

When they saw the faces of these people, they all turned pale with fright.

Why?

The names of these people are

Hu Xueyan, a steel tycoon, Shen Wansan, an arms tycoon, and other businessmen with red tops

The so-called red-top merchants are those with a strong background in the imperial court, whose business is directly related to the monopoly of the imperial court.These businessmen are mainly concentrated in industries closely related to national defense, economic monopoly and resources, such as steel, shipbuilding, cement, heavy industry, and finance.

The top ten consortiums formed by these great businessmen have basically monopolized the main industrial system and financial system of Ming Dynasty.

Although they are not as high-profile as Jack Ma, they have to attend wealth forums every time, attend third-level meetings, and deliver impassioned speeches. They are very low-key and will not show up easily. Even if some people pass by, they don’t know their true identities but

They are the most terrifying industrial + financial giants of Ming Dynasty!

To put it bluntly, they have mastered the lifeline of Daming's industry, and even the national economy and people's livelihood

Chapter 2463 Your uncle is still your uncle [2]

Just one factory needs 100 wagons every day, which means 5000 tons of transportation

A cement factory needs 250 vehicles, and a shipyard needs 300 vehicles

Calculated in such a rough way, the daily transportation volume required by the top ten merchants alone is as high as

2000 wagons!

That is 10 tons

Ouyang Bijin has been frightened by this astronomical figure

10 tons of cargo transportation

it's only one day

How terrifying is this astronomical figure?

You know, his wood-born horses have been developed for half a year under the bureaucratic and landlord class's all-out use, and they have only transported a million tons in total.

Yan Song only needs 10 days to surpass his total amount?

This kind of "[-] strike" almost made Ouyang Bijin kneel

This is no longer a dimensional competition
