Geomantic layout of Li Hongzhang's family
Let's take a brief look at how rich Li Hongzhang really is. There was a widely circulated couplet in the late Qing Dynasty. Hefei, the prime minister, is thin and Changshu, the farmer, is barren? It is the wealth of Li Hongzhang (from Hefei) and Weng Tonghe (from Changshu). Let's take a look at Li Hongzhang's resignation contract.
Li Hongzhang's family is actually small, with four wives and three sons as legal heirs. The separation contract states: 12 Zhuangtian, 1 Fentian, 1 weir, four industries in Tongcheng County, Anhui Province, and 0/4 properties in Anqing, the provincial capital, all of which are reserved for the expenses of Mrs. Li Hongzhang's Zhou ancestral hall. Managed by Li. This only applies to the first wife.
You might as well think boldly, how many things can sons and concubines get? Moreover, the "separation contract" can only be real estate, and movable property such as gold and silver treasures cannot be counted. People guess that he has about several million taels of silver, which is about 654.38 billion yuan, and it is a conservative estimate.
His eldest son is Li. After Li died, he had two sons, one named Li Houfu and the other named Li (also known as Li). They inherited their father's inheritance. The protagonist of today's story is Li Zijia, the grandson of Li Hongzhang.
Li Zijia was born in 19 10. She is of mixed blood and her mother is British. She is very good-looking, so she has been loved by her family since childhood. After her father's death, she shared her father's legacy with her brother, and her father got a lot:/kloc-0.3 million mu of rented land, a mountain farm, Hengfengcang Building on the south bank of Wuhu River, and Shanghai No.1.
It can be said that Li Zijia can stop working all his life and eat, drink and be merry every day, but overindulgence will definitely ruin a child. Li Zijia was a local since he was a child? Little bully? He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Later, he became infected with opium, and he sold many properties. He got sick because of playing with women, and his health had already collapsed, but it didn't affect Li Shifu's play. Anyway, I'm rich.
Li Zijia keeps six dogs to save face when going out. When she went out, she let the left and right footmen lead six dogs behind her, surrounded by a beautiful aunt, walking around. If grandpa Li Hongzhang saw the battle, his beard would fly with anger.
Eat, drink, gamble, and be happy? Eat it all? Li Zijia's money, in the casino, Li Zijia has always been generous. If he wins money, he will treat people and distribute wealth. If he loses money, he will take the property as collateral. It is conceivable that no amount of money is enough for him to spend, so that in the end, he was so poor that his brother gave him more inheritance, which he gave, and then he spent it all.
Later, Li Zijia was heavily in debt, suffered from various diseases, and left Shen Shi with him 10 for many years, and his biological mother returned to England. Li Zijia, who was poor and sick, looked at his empty home. What did he think of? Good idea? From then on, I started to eat in the west, and arrived at 1953.
But eating rice is not a good idea. His master, Li Zijia, couldn't stand the dirty eyes of others, so he went to his old friend, constantly chauffeured. As a result, his old friend also went bankrupt, so poor that both of them could only put a few grains of rice in porridge.
Li Zijia finally unbearable. He rushed out in a worn cotton-padded jacket. At this time, he was only 43 years old. If he wanted, he could find a job to support himself, but he didn't. Li Zijia went to a pond and shouted, You can't live happily, and you can't die happily! ? Then he jumped into the pond.
To Li Zijia's disappointment, passers-by saved him! Because the cold water in the pond invaded his body, Li Zijia's body completely collapsed. He cried in bed, it is better to let him die. Li Zijia died after a few days of fever.
His poor friend couldn't afford to bury him, so he found his brother Li Houfu, but Li Houfu had squandered his family property and couldn't afford a good coffin, so he buried his brother casually.
All this makes people feel that it is better to stay rich than to stay in Germany, not only Li Zijia, but also his brother Li Houfu and his friend Zuo Jusheng. The lesson of blood? Really?
