In ancient times, how much money did people need to take a concubine?

First of all, the thing of taking a concubine does not depend on how rich you are, there are clear regulations about concubines in ancient times, you can only take a concubine if you meet the conditions, if you don't meet the standard, you can't take a concubine no matter how rich you are, otherwise you will be punished. And how much money you need to take a concubine depends on the dynasty you are in, how much money the person you want to take a concubine wants you to give, or how much money you are willing to pay, there are still a lot of doorways behind this. During the Song Dynasty, concubines were a little more expensive, while in the Ming Dynasty, they were relatively cheap.

If you have the qualifications to take a concubine, you generally need 100 yuan to take a concubine in the Song Dynasty, although 100 yuan should be more than 50,000 yuan when converted into now, but it is not equivalent to such a direct conversion. A large barrel of wine in the Song Dynasty only cost five yuan, and now a large barrel of wine may cost thousands of yuan, so in this way, a concubine in the Song Dynasty would probably need about 500,000 yuan now. <>

In the Ming Dynasty, the cost of taking a concubine became relatively low, generally speaking, the ** of a concubine is 100 taels**, and sometimes if the other party's requirements are relatively low, you can even use 30 taels to get a concubine. And 30 taels is equivalent to 30,000 yuan when converted into the current RMB. And I also said before that the direct conversion is not equal, so you have to add a little bit appropriately, so you need about 300,000 yuan to take a concubine in the Ming Dynasty.

Generally speaking, if you want to take a concubine, you need to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan, and this is the friendship price offered by the other party when you are willing to accept it. If you like that concubine very much, or that the concubine itself asks for a relatively high price, you may need millions of yuan to accept a concubine. So in ancient times, it was generally those landlords or nobles who were qualified to take concubines and had the money to take concubines, and the common people generally had only one wife, so you shouldn't think too openly about ancient times.

With the capital of most ordinary people now, it would be good to marry at most a wife in ancient times, so don't think about taking concubines anymore.

It is enough to need half a year's living expenses for ordinary people, because women in ancient times had a low status and were not worth anything at all.

In ancient times, concubines were equivalent to slaves, and the price of taking a concubine was similar to buying a slave. Generally speaking, it may take a few strings of money, at most a few taels.

In ancient times, the status of women was very low, and many wealthy families would take concubines, and they generally looked at it. What is the background behind the concubine's net worth, and what is his appearance, if it is the most ordinary, generally around 20 copper coins, like having a net worth or an official position, it may be tens of thousands of silver taels.
