Looking at the 1998 version of Water Margin, there is a problem that I have never understood. Why is Song Jiang so rich?
Some people say that Song Jiang secretly engaged in looting and secretly saved a lot of money before Classical outwitted the birth class.
Come to think of it, this statement is not appropriate. Song Taigong has been educating Song Jiang about loyalty and filial piety, and Song Jiang is also thinking about his career and getting ahead. He would never rob a house, which can be seen from what he did after he went to Liangshan.
So, where did Song Jiang get the money?
In fact, the old lady in Songjiazhuang owns a manor and countless fields. There are also many tenants in the Song family. Therefore, the income from single production is not cheap. Not to mention the developed commodity economy in Song Dynasty, whether some cash crops will be planted in Songjiazhuang Garden.
As we know, Song Jiang, Song Laotai Gong and Song Jiang's younger brother are all working hard, because there are enough tenants employed and there is no need to go to the fields at all.
Song Jiang's position is Yuncheng County Knife and Pen Officer. Although he is a small official, he is only a temporary worker in a government department. However, not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in modern times, his family did not have any savings and background. An ordinary person, you can't be a temporary worker. So Song Jiang's money comes from his family's fortune. In fact, Song Jiang is a rich second generation, who treats people everywhere with his father's money and helps others. He has a good reputation. Song Jiang saw that Zhang Wenyuan couldn't afford to eat, so he gave Zhang Wenyuan money for dinner. When I met Yan Xijiao, I had no money to bury my old father, so I gave Yan Xijiao money to buy a coffin. Therefore, it is very famous in Yuncheng County and has a nickname of "Timely Rain".
Not only that, Song Jiang also bought people's hearts with money. When he was in the county government, he invited people to dinner. County grandfather, Lei Heng and others spent a lot of money in the Song family, so that Song Jiang later killed Yan Xijiao by mistake and was given a light sentence. Obviously, money makes the mare go.
Later, Song Jiang met Song Wu at Chai Daguan's house. When Song Wu said goodbye to Song Jiang, Song Jiang stretched out his hand and gave him twelve taels of silver, which was a year's living expenses. In Xunyang, Song Jiang bought Li Kui jy's heart easily with silver, and Li Kui jy followed Song Jiang to eat and drink. Li Kui jy said that his life was given by Song Jiang. So, be dead set to follow sung river.
In reality, there are Wang Wei and Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty, who have land and real estate at home and are very rich. We know that Wang Wei was rich before he became an official. He not only built a villa in Zhong Nanshan, but also often invited some friends to drink and talk about poetry. The rich and handsome Wang Wei soon won the favor of Princess Yu Zhen, the sister of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the imperial examination, Princess Yu Zhen wanted to give the emperor a champion of Wang Wei.
Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty spent his whole life in cloth clothes, but he also made countless friends. Where did Meng Haoran get the money? Meng Haoran also has many properties in Xiangyang, so he can have money to associate with people like Wang Wei, Wang Changling and Li Bai who spend money like water.
So, Song Jiang's money comes from his own manor. He had a wife before Yan Xijiao became his concubine, but he died of illness. What Song Jiang lacked in his life was his official career.
Song Jiang in the water margin is really rich. He is ready to help others and gives alms wherever he goes. When he was in Yuncheng, he went up to his parents and down to the villagers. Whenever he met with difficulties, he gave generously, and people nicknamed him "Timely Rain".
For example, I just met the black whirlwind Li Kui jy, and the agreement was that Li Kui jy would treat me, and finally Song Jiang would pay the bill; And Li Kui jy also "borrowed" 10 silver from him at the dinner table, and lost in a few minutes. Song Jiang doesn't feel bad at all.
For example, when he went to Xunyang Building to drink, Song Jiang conveniently took out a large ingot of silver and gave it to Xiao Er. Who has ever seen such a large amount of silver? Hurriedly talking too much, Song Jiang waved and said, "Keep the change"! That verve, rich second generation Wang Sicong has never been so generous!
Then at first glance, Lu has the same confusion as everyone else: Why is Song Jiang so rich? In fact, careful analysis is not difficult to find the reason:
0 1
Song Jiang is a veritable rich second generation. He doesn't have to send money home, but he can get home.
Song Jiang's father, Song Taigong, lives in Yuncheng, Shandong Province. He is not an ordinary farmer's uncle, but a well-known doctor who practices medicine to help the world.
Song Taigong's manor covers an area of more than 20 mu, with houses in front and gardens in the back. The garden is full of exotic flowers and grasses. It can be said that modern local tyrants can't compare with his family.
Song Taigong collected some money and often helped the poor and gave people free medical care. There was a famine one year and countless people starved to death. Song Taigong bought 80 mu of land as soon as he shot, and buried all the dead victims. You can be so generous, naturally you don't have to worry about eating and drinking at home.
There are five brothers named Song Hai, Song He, Song Jiang, Song Qing and Song Huai, none of whom are "coolies". Therefore, Song Jiang didn't need to send money home at all, and it was easy to reach out to his old father when money was tight.
02
Song Jiang has a job as a civil servant with a stable income and no big expenses.
Song Jiang was originally a mortician in Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, and now he is equivalent to a grass-roots official in the county government (his position is equivalent to a magistrate's secret). Although his official position is small, his income is not small.
Civil servants in the Song Dynasty were well paid and well paid. Everyone knows that the company is an administrative clerk, and the salary is paid by the local government. The magistrate's monthly salary is 20 Liang, and the magistrate's secretary Song Jiang's monthly salary is about 10 Liang to 20 Liang. In addition to salary, the welfare treatment of officials in Song Dynasty was far higher than salary, and there were also many gray incomes.
And Song Jiangling received all the money and benefits. He didn't buy a house, a car, a field or a mountain, and basically didn't have to buy a house, let alone his wife and children. It can be said that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. I remember the only time he bought a house, he should have invested in buying a house for his concubine Yan Poxi, who was later killed by an affair.
03
Song Jiang made many Jianghu brothers, helping people "get into trouble" everywhere and making money from it.
For example, after the "Family Planning" incident, He Tao got the news and went to Yuncheng County to find Song Jiang, who arrested the principal offender, Classical. Song Jiang made a false promise, but secretly sent a message to let Classical and others escape. In order to repay a debt of gratitude, Classical sent Liu Tang, a red-haired ghost, with one hundred and twenty gold-gold! Song Jiang does not accept it on the surface (as a civil servant, it is naturally unacceptable), but he said to stay in Liangshan and take it whenever he wants-that's not the same as in his pocket. ! This kind of thing is definitely not once or twice. Everyone knows this trick, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
Through the above analysis, we will know why "leading brother" Song Jiang is so rich! It can be said that Song Jiang didn't value money, gave alms everywhere, and made many friends, which won him the respect and support of many people. There are also many people who are willing to give him money and support. As the saying goes, "Wealth scatters people" is also true!

Have a family, plus know how to spend money! This gave Song Jiang the name of timely rain. It can be said that the essence of Song Jiang lies not only in his money, but also in his interpersonal skills!
Song Jiang has no money, just think about his father's name. Grandpa Song, if he is a farmer or a common people, can his father have such a name? It can be said that Song Jiang is charitable because he comes from his own family. Although the Song family is far from the wealth of Yuncheng County, it is also a small landlord. According to the current comparison, at least it must be a giant with a net worth of18 million. Although not as good as those billionaires, he is rich enough in front of local ordinary people, so even Song Jiang has a lot of income.
But apart from his family's money, I'm afraid it's more important that Song Jiang knows how to manage interpersonal relationships. On the surface, he has been quite generous in his many appearances, either giving money to this hero or giving gifts to someone he just met, but how much did he receive in the whole process? How many people have calculated this account? When I took refuge in Chai Jin's home, I met Song Wu and gave him a silver ingot in Song Wu before I left. As a distinguished guest of Chai Jin, didn't Sung River get a generous gift from Chai Jin? This is obviously impossible. Later, on the way to escape and be sent, he received gifts from many people such as Liangshan. Even when he is in trouble, he can get so many benefits. It can be seen that when he was famous in the north, how many benefits could he get? He looks generous on the surface, but in fact I'm afraid he only takes money with his right hand and sends money with his left. He has won a good reputation and nothing to lose!
Although before the fall of Song Jiang, there was almost no notoriety around Song Jiang's head, I was surprised to learn that Classical had robbed him of his birth class. Faced with such an out-and-out robbery crime, he even chose to tip him off. On weekdays, I'm afraid this boy Song Jiang didn't do less business, but he didn't leave any traces when he ran well at ordinary times. For example, it seems that until the end of the novel, officials in the Northern Song Dynasty didn't know that Song Jiang was also one of the participants and could put hidden crimes into practice.
But in addition to the above, we need to pay more attention to the fact that although Song Jiang is charitable, unlike Chai Jin, his gifts are often selective. To put it bluntly, I like him, I am willing to make friends with him, and I am more willing to promote him, so I will consider making friends with each other and giving gifts. To put it bluntly, he is good at dealing with people rather than being a sucker. For example, when he was sent to Jiangzhou, he was blackmailed by Li Kui JY who didn't know his identity. Song Jiang would rather be almost beaten than pay for it. Facing the threat of Yan Po, the wife who is about to marry, Song Jiang, who can be sealed with money, has no choice but to back down. It can be said that Song Jiang is not only rich, but also spends all his money on the cutting edge, leaving a good impression on the other side before giving it to the other side. Are you afraid that his reputation will not spread?
First of all, Song Jiang's family is well-off, and Song Jiang is a rich second generation. His father, Song Taigong, is a landlord in the village, with many tenants and guests. "Live a good life" at home, without worrying about food, clothing and expenses.
Secondly, Song Jiang is single and has no burden. He is also an escort in yamen. Although he is a small official, he does not belong to the official. However, he specializes in criminal cases, and he is also a red man in front of the county magistrate. There are still many oil and water.
Therefore, Yan Poxi, who later married him, hit the nail on the head: Your official mission sees silver, just like a fly sees blood. How can there be no gray income?
Even Lei Heng has nothing to do with going to the countryside and going on business trips. He can also have an autumn wind from the village chief Chao Gai.
Thirdly, Song Jiang also made many friends in the Jianghu, such as disciples Kong Ming and Kong Liang.
These rich second-generation families are always filial on holidays. On the way from Sung River to Jiangzhou, the plans made by various heroes can be seen.
Therefore, Song Jiang has always been well-off, generous, spending money without blinking an eye, having the financial resources to help the poor, and getting the reputation of "timely rain".
Hello, in the 1998 version of Water Margin, Song Jiang is really rich, which can be seen from Song Jiang's charity. How can a person repay charity without money? But in "Water Margin", it really didn't improve where Song Jiang's money came from, so make a bold guess:
1, Song Jiang's salary
Song Jiang is the escort of the county government, equivalent to the current civil servants, with a fixed salary every month. The salary of the county magistrate in the Song Dynasty was about thirty taels of silver per month, and the escort instructed a small civil servant not to exceed fifteen taels. However, seeing Song Wu in Chai Jin Palace after exile, he can also give twelve taels of silver directly, which shows that he should have other income.
2. Gray income
Although Song Jiang is only a small escort, he is also a celebrity around the county magistrate. Many things of the government are entrusted to him, and in the process of dealing with things, he needs to spend money. As long as he spends money, he will have a certain income or kickback, so this income should be quite a lot.
2, the family is well-off, according to the current words, it may be an "old family."
Song Jiang's father, Song Taigong, is a landlord, equivalent to the current land contractor and manor owner. Moreover, the landlords in the Song Dynasty, like the heads of small countries, had the power to manage, pay rent and help the government pay taxes, so their income was still very high.
You can trust me privately if you have any questions after reading it. If you think what I said can still be recognized by you, please pay attention and like it. Novice Xiao Bai needs your attention. Thank you. ......
Song Jiang has a nickname "Timely Rain". He is generous, generous and willing to help others. He also gave money to others many times in the Water Margin.
Song Jiang is a well-off family, but it doesn't make him so rich. Moreover, the work is hired by the county grandfather, and the salary is not much. If you think about it carefully, you may know that the Song Dynasty was rich, but the wind of corruption and bribery prevailed, the officialdom was corrupt and the social atmosphere was not good. Even managers with bigger sesame seeds can make money. The Song Dynasty mainly collected taxes, handled prison affairs and colluded with blackmail, which not only earned money, but also bought people's hearts. Therefore, the root of Song Jiang's generosity mainly comes from his income, officials' exploitation and prison fishing. His income is considerable.
However, some people speculate that even though Song Jiang has considerable gray income, his boss, the county grandfather, is greedy for officials who go up again. It doesn't match his feeling of spending so generously. Bold speculation, the year before last, Liang Zhongshu's birthday program for Cai Jing was robbed. It may be that Song Jiang robbed it and hid it in the cellar, so all kinds of money were scattered later. Nature has no factual evidence, just an idea, which makes its behavior seem reasonable.
People who kill for nothing are not short of money.
Maybe he is a rich second generation, and then his father arranged a civil servant position for him.
