Chapter 67: One million in the sixties, never enough to spend in a lifetime



Jia Dongsheng did not deceive Li Huaide. This medicine does have a shelf life, and it can only be kept for three months at most.

So, if Li Huaide wants to buy it this time, Jia Dongsheng really has to make it and sell it on the spot.

Fortunately, Jia Dongsheng had a very clear idea of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process and the ratio of herbs in his mind, so it didn't take him long to make it.

However, this time Jia Dongsheng did not only make the twenty pills that Li Huaide needed, but made a full two hundred and sixty pills. All the Chinese medicine that could be used to make this medicine placed in the courtyard was used up.

If you want to continue making it next time, you have to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

That’s right, there are only a few Chinese medicines stored in the fifth courtyard, and most of them are still in the pharmacy.

However, Jia Dongsheng was not in a hurry to move the space into the homestay, because the pharmacy only had ordinary Chinese medicine, and the best medicines were all in this yard.

After putting the 260 pills into the homestay, Jia Dongsheng planned to send them to the people in his mind who needed them when he had time. Then he began to pack up some things in the yard.

Although this yard is nice and big, it is impossible for Jia Dongsheng to move in in a short time, so he plans to put all the family assets left to him by the old Chinese doctor into the homestay space.

If one day a thief comes and steals all his things, Jia Dongsheng will have no place to cry.

Anyway, the space in the homestay is very large, so there is no need to worry about not being able to fit everything in. You can carry it with you, and if you want to play with antiques or something, you can take it out and play with it at any time.

Jia Dongsheng is still very interested in antiques. These days, he has sorted out the knowledge that his original body learned. When he has time, he will go to the place where antiques are bought and sold and buy some more.

In this day and age, as long as you buy antiques, you are making a profit.

Isn’t there a saying in later generations that goes, don’t be fooled by the fact that both Malaysians and non-Malaysians seem to be very rich. In fact, any top antique collector can kill them all in seconds if he takes out the antiques he has collected.

Speaking of which, the old Chinese doctor left quite a few good things to Jia Dongsheng.

Not to mention Chinese medicine, there are three hundred-year-old ginsengs, and there are also quite a few other Ganoderma lucidum and Astragalus from previous years.

The largest collection is of antiques, including paintings by the Four Ming Dynasty Masters: Tang Bohu, Qiu Ying, Shen Zhou, and Wen Zhengming, as well as the Five Great Kilns of the Song Dynasty, Ming Chicken-Glazed Cups, Ming Xuande Furnaces, Zigang Jade, and so on.

Porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as even older pottery and bronzes, really opened Jia Dongsheng's eyes when he was sorting these things!

More than 1,200 antiques were collected by Jia Dongsheng and stored in the homestay.

In addition to antiques, the old Chinese doctor also had some ancient books, which he also took away, as well as some gold and silver.

This stuff is the life savings of the old Chinese doctor. Although a lot of it was used for Jia Dongsheng's study, there is still a small box of gold ingots worth twenty taels each.

Jia Dongsheng checked and found that there were more than 200 of them. These were all the money the old Chinese doctor received when he was an imperial physician, treating high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as rewards from spendthrift old women.

From this we can see that a good doctor really makes a lot of money!

Of course, he is still making a lot of money now. The tonic medicine that Jia Dongsheng sold to Li Huaide is ten yuan per pill, while the cost is only one yuan. He can earn ninety yuan a month just by selling Li Huaide's medicine. What's more, the old Chinese doctor has left more than a dozen for people like Li Huaide.

From this, we can imagine how much the old Chinese doctor must have earned in his lifetime.

It would be reasonable if the family had more financial resources.

Then, Jia Dongsheng calculated the gold price of that era. He remembered that the price of gold had not skyrocketed in that era. Since the 1960s, the price of gold has been very stable. One tael of gold was only 240 yuan, which was more than 400 yuan per gram later. It was a huge difference.

However, one gold ingot is 20 taels, and 240 yuan per tael, so how much is that?

Jia Dongsheng's eyes suddenly widened. He figured it out. One gold ingot was worth five thousand yuan, and there were actually more than two hundred gold ingots here...

hiss!

You don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked. It’s one million!

One million in the 1960s, what does that mean?

The concept of having money but not being able to spend it.

In the 60 years, five yuan was enough for a person to survive a month of starvation, but one million yuan in China was a sum that one could never spend until death.

Even in his previous life, Jia Dongsheng was already very rich. He was able to buy such a large piece of land, build a homestay, and dig an artificial lake, which cost a lot of money.

But compared to the one million today, it is still far behind.

One million in the sixties was worth more than six billion in later generations.

In later generations, a prodigal son could squander 6 billion in a year, but in this era, one million is enough to squander your entire life.

Suddenly, Jia Dongsheng felt that he could really lie down completely and no longer be interested in money.

In his previous life, although he retired from the chef industry, he was still running a B&B and preparing to attract guests, and he had never achieved complete financial freedom.

But now, Jia Dongsheng can really shout out: "I have achieved financial freedom. I am no longer interested in money."

He happily put a small box of gold ingots into the homestay, and then took out another small box.

There are no gold ingots in this box. The old Chinese doctor’s gold ingots were accumulated before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, while this small box contains the old Chinese doctor’s income during the Republic of China period.

It’s not a small amount, forty large yellow croakers, more than one hundred and fifty small yellow croakers, and five rolls of silver dollars, each roll with one hundred silver dollars, a total of five hundred silver dollars.
