Let me calculate an account for you first. Li Bai spent more than 300 thousand a year when he first went out of Sichuan.
What is the concept of more than 300,000?
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the price of rice was about 100, and one stone was 53 kg. Converted, 300,000 yuan can buy 3 1.8 million Jin of rice. Now the price of rice is around 5 yuan, which means that Li Bai spent 654.38+0.58 million RMB more than one year.
However, what is even more shocking to us is that this 6.5438+0.58 million yuan was not spent by himself, but was used to help those down-and-out literati;
Less than a year after traveling to Weiyang in the east, more than 300,000 people have been scattered. I know all about having a son down and out. History of Peichang in Shang 'an County
Just spend/kloc-0.8 million to help those who are down and out and strangers, so it seems that Li Bai's real luxury is endless. So, what is Li Bai's economic source, and what does he live so freely?
First of all, you will be reborn!
Ma Yun once said that there is no fairness in this world. Bill? Gates' children were born in Gates' family and enjoyed the best material life and the best medical education in the world since childhood. The children of those poor families are short of food and clothing, malnourished and even unable to receive education as adults. At a young age, they have to rely on heavy manual labor to make a living.
Brother Li Bai is quite lucky. Although he is not the son of the richest man in the world, he is not too bad by comparison. At that time, Li Bai's father was quite rich, and his ancestors were still famous.
Regarding Li Bai's life experience, Li Bai once said that he was the grandson of Li Gui IX, the founding monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Xiliang.
Li ke is a great man. His ancestor was Li Guang, a flying general, and his eighth grandson was Tang Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, Li Bai is still Li Shimin's brother. Of course, some scholars think that Li Bai may be Li's great-grandson. As for the truth of this statement, everyone has different opinions.
Ancestors used to be rich, but now they are not so bad.
According to Li Bai, his ancestors began to do business in the western regions from the late Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, and by his father's generation, they had accumulated hundreds of millions of property.
At that time, Li Bai's eldest brother and third brother had inherited his father's business and made a fortune. Only Li Bai, unwilling to inherit hundreds of millions of wealth, fantasizes about becoming the same name as Guan Zhong every day.
At the age of 25, maybe the old man couldn't beat him and agreed to let Li Bai go out for a trip, so he gave Li Bai 300 thousand yuan as a travel expense.
Li Bai is brilliant and knowledgeable, but because he is a businessman, he can't take the imperial examination. So he can only choose to rely on his talent and fame to be an official. In this way, Li Bai began to make friends with celebrities, hoping to get their recommendation, so as to become an official in the DPRK.
Unfortunately, it backfired. Li Bai spent a lot of energy and never got the chance to be an official. Besides, his money is running out. Seeing that there is no hope, it is possible to go home and inherit hundreds of millions of property. At this time, a new hope appeared.
Secondly, I will marry a wife.
Someone summed up several people's opportunities to change their destiny. The first is to thoroughly remould oneself, and the second is to study hard to make yourself outstanding. The third time is by marriage, when a woman marries a rich family, the western Western jackdaw instantly becomes a phoenix, and when a man marries Bai, he immediately reaches the peak of his life.
During the first financial crisis, Li Bai was introduced by his friend Meng Haoran to marry the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Xu. Xu Shi's dowry is huge, and in this way, Li Bai instantly resolved the financial crisis.
With money, Li Bai didn't spend much money. He is wrong, isn't he? Flower Festival? ,? A bar? Yes. Li Bai spent all this money traveling around the world, making friends with powerful people, and with his world-famous poems, he gradually entered the circle of people in Li Longji.
In 742 AD, 42-year-old Li Bai was recommended by Princess He. Li Longji also saw Li Bai's poems and instantly became a small fan. He immediately invited Li Bai to take office in the palace.
At this time, Li Bai was very excited, thinking that Li Longji, the emperor of the dynasty, was my little fan, and it was just around the corner to get ahead, guide the country and be immortal. Therefore, Li Longji adores Li Bai's poems and can't wait to read them every day. So Li Bai works in the Imperial Academy. Every day, in addition to writing poems and songs, he also goes out for an outing and hunting with himself.
With such a gap between ideal and reality, Li Bai's passionate heart suddenly cooled a lot and he planned to retire. At this time, Gao Lishi and other women in the palace were also favored by Li Bai because of jealousy, and constantly spoke ill of Li Bai in front of Li Longji, so Li Longji gradually alienated Li Bai.
Finally, Li Bai withdrew from the Chang 'an court. However, before Li Bai withdrew from the palace, Li Longji also gave Li Bai a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
In 745 AD, 45-year-old Li Bai traveled to Shandong, married a local woman (Li Bai's original wife had been dead for many years, and his second wife broke up because of disagreement), and also bought a lot of real estate and land in the local area. Later, Li Bai was in charge of travel, and Shandong women took care of property.
A few years later, Shandong's wife died, but Li Bai met Tang Gaozong's granddaughter, the prime minister of the imperial clan.
Zongjia is also quite rich. Once, Li Bai got drunk in Liangyuan, wrote the famous Poem of Liangyuan on the wall of Liangyuan, and sprinkled a bubble of urine in the corner. As a result, people in Liangyuan wanted to erase the poem after reading it. At this time, Zong spent a lot of money to buy this wall.
After that, Li Bai and the master hit it off and naturally came together.
After the marriage with the Zongs, Li Bai's wealth instantly reached a higher level. Of course, the master is not only rich, but also a good family with both talents and looks. Most importantly, the master is a loyal Taoist believer, who shares the same beliefs and hobbies as Li Bai and wants to soar to immortality.
Li Bai caught up with the Anshi Rebellion in his later years and worked for the rebels. Results Li Bai was sent to Yelang (Guizhou) after the Tang Dynasty put down the Anshi Rebellion. Two years later, the imperial court granted amnesty to the world; The dead were completely pardoned, from the stream and below. Li Bai was very excited. He immediately accelerated down the Yangtze River and reached Jiangxia. On the way, he wrote the famous "Early Sending Baidicheng".
Say goodbye to Baidi Caiyun and return to Jiangling one day.
The cries of apes on both sides of the strait are still unconsciously crowing in their ears, and the canoe has passed the heavy green hills.
Li Bai, who was unhappy all his life, also traveled to several places in the last stage of his life, boating in Dongting, enjoying the moon and drinking, visiting Xuancheng and expressing his feelings with poems. In the end, due to the embarrassment of life, he went to Jinling to go to his uncle, stayed here for a year and died.
Throughout Li Bai's life, he was born in a rich family and received a good education. He didn't have to worry about money since he was a child. As an adult, I was extremely lucky to have married the granddaughter of the Prime Minister twice with my talent and fame. However, because he has never experienced the hardships of the world since he was a child, he has never been hit by life and refused to lower his arrogant posture, which also led to Li Bai's arrogance and unruly life, bumpy career and frustration.
