A profession that makes money faster than robbing a tomb.

The three most profitable occupations in ancient China were wizards, executioners and grave robbers. It hardly exists now.

The first kind: witches

Witches have a long history in China. In ancient times, witches were women who prayed for blessing, alleviating disasters and divining. Later, whoever has a sick child or a sick pig, cow or sheep will go to the witch. Witches can make a lot of money by chanting stickers.

In ancient China, there were many witches because of feudal superstition. There are several in almost every village. When Bian Xiao was young, there was such an old man in the village. He doesn't like to talk at ordinary times, but always says something in the fog. But because modern people no longer have feudal superstitions and go to the hospital when they are sick, witches disappear.

The second type: executioner

The executioner ranks in the most profitable position here. Many people may not understand why the executioner is the most profitable occupation, because the executioner was very rare in ancient times, and few people were willing to do this unlucky occupation, so the salary was high. On average, cutting off a head is worth the income of a long-term worker for half a year.

Besides, the executioner has some extra money. For example, a skilled executioner can leave a prisoner with a complete body.

The third type: grave robbers

Grave robbers can be said to be the most profitable profession in ancient times, and the most important thing is that grave robbers can get money quickly. However, grave robbers in ancient China have a long history. If there were no shops for marching and fighting in ancient times, they would have the idea of robbing tombs. Cao Cao once set up a grave robbery for a captain who touched the gold, and Sun Dianying also robbed the tomb to raise military forces.

In ancient China, grave robbers also had many grave robbing families, and they often made a lot of money. "Either don't open it, open it for three years." High income also indicates high risk. Ancient grave robbers can only prevail in troubled times, and they will disappear in peacetime.
