As we all know, Yang Guifei was originally the concubine of Li Mao, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Later, she was taken away by her old man's house, and she was forced to take her away from Li Mao's bed. On the night when she was officially canonized as a imperial concubine, Xuanzong personally put a golden step shake in her hair (step shake refers to the golden bead jade hanging from the hairpin, a step shake). Walking is a kind of ritual jewelry, and its shape and texture represent the noble status of the woman wearing it. Yang Guifei's walking rocking is said to be produced in fertile water, and the cost is extremely expensive. In other words, on the first day when she officially became an imperial concubine, she consumed a precious piece of jewelry, which made a great contribution to expanding domestic demand and stimulating GDP growth in Datang.
Xuanzong had many concubines, not only at home but also abroad. For example, Cao Ye Naji, who gave birth to An Gongzhu, is a foreign woman from Central Asia. However, after getting Yang Guifei, Xuanzong became emotionally single-minded, other concubines were sidelined, and even Mei Fei, who was very favored before, was left out in the cold. It really makes people wonder what fascinating magic Yang Guifei has mastered. Although Yang Guifei has no queen's name, she is a queen, because Xuanzong did not establish a new queen after abolishing the queen. Because of her prominent position, the team that provides life services for her is also very large. It is said that as many as 700 people embroidered brocade for her in the palace, and hundreds of people carved utensils. The products and services created by these people every year should not be a small number, which naturally contributes to the GDP of Datang.
In addition, in order to win the favor of Yang Guifei, Xuanzong ordered local officials to collect novelty items and offer them to the palace. For example, Zhang Jiuzhang, our envoy of the times from Lingnan, and Wang Yi, the chief historian of Guangling, were promoted and knighted by Xuanzong because they presented unique treasures during the Dragon Boat Festival. Yang Guifei was born in Sichuan and loves litchi. Because the taste of litchi in Lingnan is better than that in Sichuan, Lingnan sends a courier to deliver litchi every year in the ripe season of litchi. "The world of mortals laughs when riding a princess, and no one knows it is litchi" is a true portrayal at that time. These contributions from all over the world, the service cost is certainly not low, and they also contribute to GDP.
However, even if a person's consumption is extravagant, the pull on the whole GDP is still very limited. After all, Datang was a superpower at that time, with the total GDP ranking first in the world. However, Yang Guifei's extravagant consumption is not only her, but a team. As the saying goes, "One person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Yang Guifei's brothers and sisters were all called into the palace, a total of five people. Brother Yang Zhong and cousin Yang Zhao (later N Yang) were all officials in North Korea, and the three sisters were named as Mrs. North Korea, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Guo respectively, and each gave 65,438+10,000 yuan for plastic surgery every month. Xuanzong received five tributes from home and abroad, such as the pearl of the night of Mrs. Guo, the seven-leaf crown of Mrs. Qin, and Yang's lock account, all of which are priceless and rare treasures.
The houses of five people are all near the palace, which is magnificent. Each building costs tens of millions. Once they find that other people's buildings are more luxurious than their own, they will destroy the reconstruction. In short, we must surpass other people's homes. Xuanzong visited five families every winter before going to China to avoid the cold. Five families held a grand celebration for Xuanzong. Each family had a team, each wearing clothes of one color. The five colors reflected each other and competed with each other. After the celebration, the hairpin ornaments, Baoyu and Zhucui dropped on the road can be seen everywhere, and anyone can pick them up. Someone once watched the excitement near five motorcades and smelled it for several days. This shows the luxury of the scene. The high consumption of the five major consumers is undoubtedly a huge number, and its contribution to Datang's GDP should not be underestimated.
However, people are doomed to be unfortunate. With the outbreak of Anshi Rebellion, the good fortune of Yang Guifei's family of five came to an abrupt end. In Maweipo incident, the mutinous soldiers not only killed Yang and his son, but also forced Xuanzong to surrender the death penalty to Yang Guifei, and the other five families were also killed on the way to escape.
After Yang Guifei's death, her body was hastily buried on the hillside near Maweipo Post Station. On the day of burial, a local woman found a brocade set on the side of the road, which is said to have been dropped by Yang Guifei. Later, this woman fully explored the commercial value of this sock. Anyone who wants to enjoy this sock in the past will have to pay100p for the ticket. This woman made a lot of money. If this kind of tourism income is counted as GDP, it should be Yang Guifei's final contribution to Datang GDP.
