Wang Kai is the uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin and the richest man in Luoyang. But since Shi Chong was transferred to Luoyang, the situation has changed. In terms of extravagance, Shi Chong began to suppress Wang Kai. Wang Kai was not convinced, so the "battle for wealth" between the two richest people at that time began.
Wang Kai painted the wall with red gypsum which can cure diseases instead of cement. Very delicate and moist, very beautiful. Shi Chong painted the walls with pepper and mud, which made the house warm, and there was still fragrance after many years. Moreover, this kind of pepper is very expensive and can only be bought abroad.
At that time, dignitaries paid attention to ostentation and extravagance when they went out On both sides of the road, screen-like steps are used to stop the wind and sand. Wang Kai's Zi Ling is wrapped in precious cloth, and Shi Chong is made of colorful brocade.
Shi Chong heard that Wang Kai used wort to brush pots, so he used candles as firewood.
Later, it was less interesting than money, so we began to compare who had the right to execute servants. While eating and drinking, Wang Kai asked a beautiful woman to play the flute to entertain him. As long as she blows the wrong beat, she will be pulled to the front of the steps and killed. Shi Chong also not to be outdone, put a banquet at home, let the beautiful women take turns singing and dancing, vomiting-inducing toasts. If the guests don't drink or drink, the drinker will be beheaded.
It is not unreasonable that the Western Jin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty.
