What kind of life did the richest man live in the late Qing Dynasty?

Sheng Xuanhuai, known as the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty, died on 19 16. The news blew up the whole Republic of China, because the wealth left by the richest man to his children was very considerable. According to the later incomplete statistical conversion, when Sheng Xuanhuai died, under the background of land and money, he gave his children enough money to buy 20,000 sets of Beijing quadrangles. If the money is converted into about 2 trillion today, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich as an enemy.

But what people at that time couldn't understand was that the amount of property left by Sheng Xuanhuai when he died was completely incomparable with the amount of property in his glorious period of wealth.

Today, more than a hundred years later, it is very difficult to explore this huge family at that time, but through the dust of history, we can still find some clues in the cracks and clearly see the wealth of this huge family at that time.

Among them, I have to mention Sheng Xuanhuai's servant. According to all kinds of information left over, we can know that in the heyday of the Sheng family at that time, there were two or three hundred servants alone, men and women, ranging in age from teenagers to fifties, but many of them were girls. Compared with other rich families, it is a good configuration to ask three or four nannies to bring one child, but Sheng family has six nannies for each child. These do not include washing and cooking for children and teaching them to learn knowledge. Moreover, these nannies are much stricter than those of ordinary rich families, and they have high requirements for nannies' image, appearance and moral knowledge.

In today's words, at that time, Shengjia's requirements for nannies were a bit like that of big companies looking for employees now. Even though the Sheng family demands a lot, there are still many people who desperately want to be servants, because not only does the Sheng family pay a lot of money to its servants, but it is also very kind to them.

As a servant in the Sheng family, you can straighten your back a lot, because it is equivalent to half of the Sheng family. With the relationship of Sheng family, it is not difficult to do anything at home in the future. Moreover, Shengjia will also manage the servants' family members and marriages.

There is a maid in the Sheng family named Lv Baozhen. At the age of marriage, Sheng Jia found her a rich husband, and that man was Zhao Qinghua, the second son of Sheng Xuanhuai's old subordinate minister of communications.

Although marrying Zhao Qinghua can only be a concubine, he is also a rich boy, so Lu Baozhen does not suffer from marrying him. Later, Lu Baozhen gave birth to a child to Zhao Qinghua. At this time, Sheng Xuanhuai began to suggest that Tsinghua Zhao let Lu Baozhen become a full member. However, Lu Baozhen is a servant girl after all, and it is not appropriate for such an illiterate woman to take charge of the family business, so this matter will go away.

Among the four boys and three girls born to Lu Baozhen, one girl later became a world-famous strange girl, and that is the famous Miss Zhao Si. This Miss Zhao Si is later Zhang Xueliang's wife Zhao Yidi.

Another maid of the Sheng family, whose legendary life experience is not inferior to that of Lv Baozhen, is named Ni. Compared with Lu Baozhen, who often does rough work, Ni has a higher status. Her position was called "foster mother" at that time. This position is equivalent to a tutor. Ni graduated from Shanghai Beiwen Girls' Middle School and is good at mathematics. Compared with Lu Baozhen, Ni is a very talented woman.

The foster mother of Shengjia later introduced her eldest daughter and her son who came back from studying in England to seek a job in Shengjia. And her son Song Ziwen had an affair with Mrs. Sheng Jiaqi, but this inappropriate love was put out by the hostess of Sheng Jiaqi.

With Song Ziwen's talent and ability, if Sheng Xuanhuai were still alive, he would never give up such a good talent to become his son-in-law. When Ni worked in Shengjia, she was very appreciated by Sheng Xuanhuai because of her cleverness. Later, Sheng Xuanhuai helped Ni solve many problems, and she will help after she leaves Shengjia.

Later, Ni Guizhen married her poor husband Song Jiashu, and they began to learn business to make a living. On business trips, Sheng Xuanhuai often helps the young couple. Even if Ni had worked as a servant in Shengjia, Sheng Xuanhuai never despised Ni, but was an equal with Ni. Later, Ni gave birth to six children, who later became prominent figures in the Republic of China.

Why did Sheng Xuanhuai become the richest man on the rich side? Because Sheng Xuanhuai understands that if you want to develop, you need to accumulate contacts. Later, the Sheng family was lonely, and many descendants of the Sheng family were down and out. It was because Sheng Xuanhuai helped the Song family that the Song family was generous.
