Chapter 37 Housing Prices Are as Fierce as a Tiger (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The days will be unitary.
The street is full of traffic and people, most of them are going in the direction of Anyuanmen.
Wu Haogu and Gao Yu each rode a rental donkey (the sharing economy of the Northern Song Dynasty, you can rent a donkey for a day for a few dozen dollars), and also followed the crowd of cars and horses to the north.
They were heading to the north of Kaifeng Fucheng. Kaifeng Mansion is divided into two counties and eight compartments, the two counties are Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County, and the eight compartments are located in the inner city of the left compartment, the left compartment, the right compartment, the right compartment, and the outer city of the north chamber, the west chamber of the city, the east chamber of the city and the south of the city.
Among them, the right compartment and the west compartment of the city are mostly high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the palace is also located in the right compartment.
The right second box, the left first box, the left second box, the east side of the city and the south side of the city are all places where the industrial and commercial people gather. Wu Haogu's First Sweet Water Lane and the Wujia Painting Restaurant on Panlou Street are both located in the second compartment on the left.
The northeast of the north of Kaifeng is the place where the families of the forbidden army camp and middle and lower class officers and soldiers are the largest, and it is also the settlement area of the working class in Kaifeng Prefecture.
That's right, it's the working class, not the military class.
Because the vast majority of the forbidden troops who are not generals (that is, they have not been reorganized in accordance with the "Art of War", and still maintain the state of generals who did not know the state of soldiers before Wang Anshi's reform, and most of the forbidden troops stationed in Kaifeng Mansion are not generals) The forbidden army is pretending, and the officers and soldiers basically do not train, and only when they are on duty or in case of emergency, they can barely make a show.
On weekdays, most of the "elites" of the forbidden army who are not generals are busy with their own lives. The middle- and upper-class generals were either engaged in art or business, while the lower-class soldiers and those miscellaneous military ministers who did not enter the stream either engaged in petty business or sold their labor, and some of them were bullying and dominating the market......
Zhao Tieniu, who was rampant on Panlou Street, and Guo Jing, who ran errands with Wu Haogu, were all lower-level officers and soldiers of the forbidden army who lived in the north of the city.
And the future "Tai Lieutenant", the current official Gao Yu of the Horse Mansion, originally lived in the north of Kaifeng City.
As the crowd left Anyuan Gate, Wu Haogu immediately felt a little different.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has gone out of the prosperous inner city of Kaifeng since his soul pierced.
Although this inner city of Kaifeng is crowded, you can smell the smell of wealth everywhere, and most of the pedestrians wear decent clothes and have a few spare money in their pockets. The tea houses along the street are all exquisitely decorated, and you don't need to hear the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo at night.
In the world of the 11th century, the inner city of Kaifeng can definitely be regarded as a heavenly existence.
Even compared to the era of Wu Haogu's previous life, the prosperity of Kaifeng's inner city can catch up with the central area of the first-tier cities.
But outside Anyuanmen, it was a different scene.
It's not that there are few people here, but you can see the dilapidated appearance everywhere.
Most of the houses are low and dilapidated, and although the new Fengqiumen Street connected to Maqian Street is also wider than Maqian Street, there are no gorgeous and tall shops on the side of the street. Only the north tile of the state, which is not too far from Anyuan Gate, appears tall and decent.
This tile is also slightly different from many tiles in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, outside the tile gate, there is a perennial offering platform, which does not cost money, you can watch it for free.
When Wu Haogu and Gao Yu passed by, on the stage, the fight was blazing, attracting many men from the inner city, stopping and watching, and applauding loudly from time to time.
Wu Dalang was attracted by this bustle, and turned his head to look, but saw two women with slippery upper bodies and two soft flesh swaying on their chests from a distance, fighting fiercely!
"Female servants who are not wearing clothes," Gao Yu said with a smile, "In the early years, there were also in the inner city, but later Sima Xianggong wrote a book and banned it, and now only the tiles in the outer city are available, and the best of them is the tilees in the north of the state." ”
Sima Xianggong is Sima Guang, and he played a "On the Yuan Ling Women's Sumo Form" during the Renzong Dynasty, and banned the "women's sumo" sport that the people in the inner city of Kaifeng liked to see.
However, the outer city of Kaifeng, especially the tile in the north of the city, ignored this, and still went his own way to perform the female fight in public.
It's just that it doesn't perform during the day, and the hand-to-hand combat scene is staged after dusk, attracting the attention of a group of hard-working men of the forbidden army.
Wu Haogu had seen a lot of beauties in his previous life, and he had seen more exciting than this, so he took a second look and withdrew his gaze.
"The men in the north of the city are poor," Gao Yu said to Wu Haogu while riding a donkey, "There are many people who can't afford to marry their mothers-in-law, so they can only go to the north of the state to live a good time. ”
"That's all about house trouble...... Wu Haogu blurted out, and he smiled bitterly in the middle of speaking.
The city where he lived in his previous life was famous for its high housing prices, and as a "certain drifter" family, he could only look at the house and sigh.
In this life, in Kaifeng Mansion, the imperial capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, I have also seen the price of the Great Song Dynasty version as fierce as a tiger.
Kaifeng is not easy.
Any dilapidated small yard can be sold for tens of thousands!
If it is those mansions in the right box and the east side of the city, it is difficult to buy even if it is a million.
And now the wage in Kaifeng City is only one to five in January. Buying a house is an unattainable dream for the poor people crowded in the north of Kaifeng City. Although the official family had set up shops and residences to provide low-rent housing decades ago, it was a pity that there were too many monks and too little porridge (there were only more than 1,000 low-rent houses in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture), which was meaningless to most people.
As for the generals of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army who have military status, the housing of themselves and their families is theoretically not a problem, because the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army allowed their families to be stationed with the army. Many streets and alleys with the word "battalion" in their names near Wazi in the north of the state were originally military camps. It's just that there are too many families and civilians living there, and it looks like an ordinary market.
However, the number of personnel in the Kaifeng Forbidden Army is limited, and it has also been cut during the Xining Law Change, and there has always been a large vacancy. In other words, the number of troops stationed in Kaifeng has been decreasing over the past few decades.
However, the number of "***", "military three generations" and "military N generation" is increasing!
As a result, most of the "army N generation" were unable to find a place in the forbidden army, and became low-level civilians with no security. Most of them did not move out of their original camps, and as a result, the northern part of the city, where the forbidden army barracks were concentrated, turned into a crowded and noisy slum.
At the same time, those "military N generations" who cannot find the establishment of the forbidden army are still the burden of the low-level generals with military status...... No one can only care about themselves and their brothers, right? Now it's the Song Dynasty with a relatively close family relationship!
Therefore, it is not to blame the Kaifeng Forbidden Army for not having the heart to train and fight.
As for the little military salary paid by the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, at most he can take care of the food and drink of himself and a few close relatives. If you don't find another errand to make money, let alone help your brother, it is a big problem to start a family yourself...... Not to mention buying a house in Kaifeng Mansion, if you want to marry a wife and have children, you should always rent a slightly larger house, right?
And Wu Haogu himself seems to be about to change from a rich second generation with a house and a shop to a houseless household...... I don't know if Pan Qiaolian will marry herself at that time? If you are willing to marry, it must be true love!
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled bitterly again, turned his head to Gao Yu and said, "Brother Gao Yu, let's go find my third brother Guo and Liu Xiaoyi first." ”
"Okay," Gao Yu smiled, "where do they live?" ”
"They live in the north wing of Zuoying, and Third Brother Guo has two rooms there, and Liu Xiaoyi lives with him," Wu Haogu thought for a while, and then said, "I should soak in Yihong Courtyard at this time." ”
"Yihongyuan?" Gao Yu looked at Wu Haogu with a wicked smile, "Da Lang, that's a place to go for ecstasy!" ”
……
Near the north of the state, Laoying Street on the left side, Yihong Pavilion.
Guo Jing was wearing his clothes open at this moment, revealing the thick black hair on his chest, and an almost half-naked sister was pouring into his arms, drinking with Liu Wuji.
There were a mess of cups and plates on the table, and I don't know how much wine I had eaten.
Liu Wuji was already too drunk, lying in the arms of a sister who was already a half-old, he was already a little smoky, and a paw that looked a little white and tender was pinching an exposed "big papaya", and his expression was very intoxicated.
"Third brother, Xiaoyi, I'm not dreaming, right?"
"Dreaming? What kind of dreams? ”
"Drink freely in Yihong Courtyard every day, and you can also lose your soul with your sisters, isn't this just in a dream?"
Listening to Liu Wuji's drunken words, Guo Jing picked up the wine glass and drank it all, hugged the sister in his arms, kissed it fiercely, and then laughed: "Where is this?" When we met Wu Dalang, a nobleman, our brother's good life will last a long time! ”
"Third brother, I've heard you talk about Wu Dalang every day these days, who is he?"
The elderly sister who was holding Liu Wuji suddenly spoke, with a bit of envy and expectation in her tone.
Guo Sanlang smiled: "Yan Po'er, how many tender offspring do you want to eat?" Do you think everyone likes old like Liu Xiaoyi? Let me tell you, the eldest brother of the martial arts family is a decent person, and he will not come to you, a broken kiln that sells meat.
People like to ...... the daughter of the main family."
It turned out that the sister who was glued together with Liu Wuji was the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard, surnamed Yan, and known as Yan Po'er. was also popular when he was young, but he didn't seize the opportunity to find a good family.
When he was old, he found this meat kiln in the north chamber of Kaifeng City and became a bustard. I usually don't pick up customers, but I like to recruit little white faces.
Liu Wuji, a fake Taoist priest, has a good skin, and has read some books, which is very much with her appetite, so he hooked up with him, and from time to time he gave a physical ......
"What's so great about the daughter of the lord's house?" Yan Po'er smiled, "When I was popular, I slept with Xianggong."
Third brother, why don't you introduce that martial official to a slave, and the slave keeps him to go to heaven happily. ”
"You again!"
Before Yan Po'er could finish speaking, a cold voice came from outside the door.
"Who? Which one doesn't open his eyes to the old lady's territory......"
Yan Po'er was only halfway through scolding, and then she saw Gao Yu and Wu Haogu walking in one after the other.
"Ouch, tall official, the slave is offended, should be beaten...... should be beaten" Yan Po'er recognized Gao Yu, so she gently supported Liu Wuji on the rose chair, and moved up lightly.
After walking a few steps, he saw Wu Haogu, so he lost a wink, and asked coquettishly: "This big official has very good eyes, I don't know what to call it?" ”
