$24, which in 1872 was a lot of money for a small child, and even for a family, it was a lot of money.
In 1883, the Illino Bureau of Labor Statistics made a statistic that a man worked for 30 weeks in 1883 and earned $250, and he and his wife and five children lived in a two-bedroom apartment for $6 a month, and that year, the family spent a total of $80 on food, and their family diet included bread, coffee, and bacon.
Look, in 1883, the family lived for a year and only spent a total of 80 US dollars, and the US dollars in 1872 must be worth more than the US dollars in 1883, and Li Mu's pocket money for a child was 24 US dollars per month, which was indeed very good.
Moreover, Li Mu's pocket money has not been calculated since he landed in the United States, but has been calculated since the day he boarded the ship, so Li Mu now has the $24 that Chen Liqiu paid Li Mu in advance, which is considered a deposit.
After getting the pocket money, Li Mu is ready to continue to replace the identity of this "child".
If you want to talk about Li Mu, he is an ordinary ordinary person in the 21st century, he has not carved "early" on his desk since he was a child, nor has he made a great wish to "study for the rise of China", Li Mu goes to school when others go to school, Li Mu works when others work, Li Mu has no great ambition to save the country and save the people, and there is no urgency for justice and justice in the world, Li Mu is a little selfish ordinary person, he just wants to live his own life, although he will not make such earth-shattering contributions to the country, But it will not make trouble for the state, in fact, this is the state of life of ordinary people in the republic in the 21st century.
Throw such a person into the middle and late nineteenth century, although Li Mu's compatriots are still living under the rule of the feudal class, but Li Mu will not immediately give birth to the idea of overthrowing the Manchu government and establishing a republic, that is what great people should do, and it has nothing to do with Li Mu, Li Mu just wants to live this life without worrying, and An An will just mix up this life.
Of course, if there is a revolutionary party determined to overthrow the Manchu government in a few decades to come to Li Mu to raise donations, Li Mu will also generously help, but don't expect Li Mu to take the initiative to be born and die for the country and the people, that is not the character of the programmed ape, the programmed apes are very cherished of themselves, and they like to be keyboard warriors behind the screen.
It's a pity that in this turbulent era, whether the development of things will satisfy Li Mu, Li Mu doesn't know yet, but it's useless to worry about the future, or live in the present.
What is the best way to eat and wait for death?
Of course, it is to be a public servant, Li Mu's most envious thing in his last life is those demolition households in urban villages, playing mahjong and drinking wine every day, and collecting rent from door to door at the end of the month.
Considering Li Mu's identity as a "traversing household", it must be better than a "demolition household", so Li Mu wants to be the world's largest apartment in this era.
That's not a big deal.
After returning to the room, Li Mu did not light the candles on the table, and lay on the bed to think about his thoughts.
If the location of the house is not good, no one will live in it even if it is given away, so the location is very important, where is the richest place in the United States is undoubtedly New York, then what is the most valuable place in New York, there is no doubt that it is the Manhattan Peninsula.
Well, Li Mu has now determined his ideal, Li Mu wants to buy the Manhattan Peninsula and then build the Empire State Building, and he will definitely have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Just when Li Mu was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly knocked on Li Mu's door.
It's all at this time, who will come to find Li Mu Could it be that Old Man Chen felt that he had suffered a loss and wanted to get the money back Li Mu decided that if he opened the door and saw that it was Old Man Chen at the door, Li Mu would smash the money in Old Man Chen's face, and then get off the boat and escape, giving Old Man Chen a good look.
When Li Mu and his "Liutong" arrived in San Francisco, there would definitely be reporters waiting at the San Francisco docks.
As a result, it was not Old Man Chen at the door, but the little fat man in the brocade robe who was next to no one in the restaurant.
As soon as the little fat man opened his mouth, he was really domineering: "You can already go to the restaurant to eat today, is your body already better, if it is good, then let this single room out, I want to live here" Hey, this is really a young master, although the first half of the sentence is a question sentence, but the tone does not have the slightest doubt, it is so natural and natural, the earth revolves around this lord.
"It's not good."
Of course, Li Mu will not give up the private room, which is one of the benefits of the wounded.
Li Mu already knew from Mike that except for Li Mu on this boat, the other children were four people in a room, and Li Mu was also stained with the light of the wounded in order to enjoy the treatment of a single room, which was the main reason why Li Mu asked to rewrap his head.
Li Mu didn't want to move to a cramped cabin with four people to sleep with the other children, and God knows if those children would wet the bed at night.
"Whether it's good or not, this house is going to be decided, let's say, how much do you want" The little fat man in the brocade robe was not polite, ready to solve the problem in the most simple and rude way.
If the fat pig that took the initiative to send to the door is not slaughtered, it will definitely affect the enthusiasm of the grandfathers to vote So the corners of Li Mu's mouth showed a disdainful smile: "How much can you afford?"
What children can't stand the most It's someone else, then they look at it as a child So the little fat man immediately took the bait: "If you can afford the price of the master, it will scare you to death, ten taels is not enough" Tsk, it's rich Chen Liqiu, a three-grade man, earns only 130 taels a year, and now the voyage is nearly half, and he will go to the United States in two weeks at most, and he will live in a single room for half a month for ten taels of silver.
Who is Li Mu?
Li Mu has seen a lot of things like fighting for wealth, although there is no coral at hand to fall, but the dollars he took out casually are also dollars: "Come on, come on, give you ten dollars to play on the side, good, don't make trouble" This tone is really bad, the key is that it is still the dollar that is taken out, which makes the little fat man who was still hanging the silver on his lips just now how to get off the stage.
The little fat man touched his body for a long time and didn't find the silver, and he was born in a rich and noble family, so he didn't have the habit of carrying silver with him at all, but looking at the increasingly mocking color in Li Mu's eyes, the little fat man ruthlessly took off the wrench on his thumb: "Give you this and you can't change it."
Of course, change Li Mu didn't say anything, took it from the little fat man's hand and walked away.
Anyway, I don't have any luggage
