The weather in Shenyang's former pawn shop

Some officials in the Qing dynasty were really not easy. Although they still hold official and semi-official positions on the surface, they are actually worse than dogs.

Li Zimu, for example, was born in a famous family, admitted to imperial academy and became an academician. This position is quite high in the imperial court, but his own rank is not high, so his rank is very low, his salary is pitiful, but his expenses are high, so he owes a lot of money. The same is true of Zeng Guofan, who is familiar to everyone. He is so poor that he has to borrow money for the Spring Festival.

There were so many such officials in the Qing Dynasty that I thought of a way to invite people to dinner and then take their mink coats to the pawnshop.

Once in winter, Beijing was very cold. Li Zimu invited many dignitaries to his party. At the banquet time, many people wear mink coats and come to the banquet happily, and encourage themselves to prepare suitable wine and food for the banquet.

Because the weather is too cold, Li Zimu has set up many ovens, and the room is very warm. Because of alcohol and temperature, everyone felt a little hot and began to take off their mink coats and continue to eat. Li Zimu is very cunning, so he quickly asked his family to take all the mink coats that these guests took off, and then quickly took them to the pawnshop for mortgage, and then paid off their debts.

Are these guests stupid? After dinner, clothes will naturally fall off, so this self-help shepherd began to cheat. Anyway, I pawned all your clothes and paid off my debts. You can do anything you like.

? Therefore, some people just accept some benefits from others because of their face, and those people dare not pursue them. So everyone ran home. And this kind of encouraging self-grazing is also very funny. The next day, I sent tickets for mink coats to those people and asked them to come back by themselves.

Although the effect is still remarkable, the consequence is that no one dares to attend his party in the future.
