Chapter 2 Settlement in Chang'an
"Little brother, what are you carrying, come here for inspection" As soon as Wang Xuan arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by a soldier who pointed to his box and asked him to be checked.
"Big brother, the small one is full of some seeds and clothes" When Wang Xuan heard that he was going to check, he quickly put down his burden with a smile and opened his wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was opened, the soldier saw that it was full of seeds and some clothes in cloth bags, and Wang Xuan had a good attitude, so after checking Wang Xuan's public inspection and paying the money, he put Wang Xuan in.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother" said Wang Xuan to pick up his burden and step into Chang'an with the people who let him go.
Wang Xuan, who had just entered Chang'an, was curious about everything, and his eyes kept looking at this famous city in Chinese history, but he did not forget that the purpose of this trip was to settle here.
He went around all the way, and after inquiring around, he found a house covering an area of three acres in Yongyang Fang in the southwest corner of Chang'an City.
After a period of bargaining by Wang Xuan, he bought this already quite dilapidated mansion for 2,700 yuan.
Wang Xuan was quite happy about this, and immediately went to Fangzheng's house with the old man who sold the house to ask for a seal letter and rushed to Chang'an County to sign a contract.
On the way to the county government of Chang'an County, Wang Xuan chatted with the old man who sold the house, and from the process of chatting, Wang Xuan learned that the old man was selling the house for the owner's family.
Because of the accident a month ago, his main family was in trouble, so he was in a hurry to sell some properties, but when he said this, the old man never revealed who his main family was.
But from these words, Wang Xuan got a lot of useful information, that is, the famous Xuanwumen Incident in the Tang Dynasty had happened.
But think about it, if it weren't for this juncture, how could he, Wang Xuan, buy a mansion with an area of three acres for less than three thousand yuan.
You must know that Tang Chang'an's house is not an inch of land, but it is also a terrifying astronomical amount.
After thinking about this, Wang Xuan sighed that he was really lucky, not only did he have a real estate in Chang'an, but he also had a three-way mansion covering an area of three acres.
Even if this big mansion is in Yongyangfang, which has the worst location in Chang'an City, Wang Xuan also decided to pick up a big bargain.
As for why Yongyang Fang is the worst square in Chang'an, it should be seen from the layout of Chang'an City, in ancient times, it was important to pay attention to the east and the west, the south and the north were rich, and the imperial city was located in the north of the entire Chang'an City, and the palaces of the princes and ministers were mostly in Wannian County in the east of Chang'an, and the west was mostly those ordinary people, and these places were the best location close to the imperial city in the north.
Therefore, Yongyang Fang, located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, is not the worst one.
But Wang Xuan didn't care about this, knowing that it was not good there, he came out of the county office, and after separating from the old man who sold the house, he rushed all the way to the West Market and spent hundreds of dollars to buy a set of bedding and mats and other daily necessities, and then rushed home on his back.
When he arrived home, the door of the workshop was closed even more loudly, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, the speed is fast today, if it is late, it will be miserable."
After putting down his things, Wang Xuan didn't have time to clean up, and took advantage of the sunset to turn around in the house.
At the same time, I am also planning for the future in my heart, after all, now that others have arrived in Chang'an, they have also settled down smoothly in Chang'an, so it is not okay to plan well.
But when he finished visiting his big house, he made a difficulty, except for the well-walled house, the lobby next to the courtyard that entered the gate, the upside-down sitting in front, and the three wings behind the hall and a row of two ear rooms, the other rooms were no longer inhabitable, and some even the beams collapsed.
But some people Wang Xuan was worried, and there were also things that surprised Wang Xuan, that is, after passing through a group of dilapidated houses that were about to collapse, the back garden of nearly one acre or so.
Seeing the abandoned back garden, Wang Xuan immediately made up his mind to reclaim all this place out of the fields and plant all the seeds he had high hopes for.
After that, Wang Xuan stayed in the back garden for a while, then returned to the front yard lobby, and after simply getting himself something to eat, he went back to the back wing room and spent an hour cleaning up a room, and then went to the backyard to tear down a few door panels and build a bed for himself, and then hurriedly fell asleep.
When everything was done, Wang Xuan lay on the temporary bed, he thought back to what happened today, entered Chang'an City smoothly, found the house smoothly, and successfully completed all the formalities, and settled down.
All this went smoothly and made Wang Xuan a little uneasy at this moment, but because he was too tired after a busy day, he finally fell asleep.
"Old man, why did you take the seal letter to that foreign kid so easily, if he is not a good person, then our family will be miserable" At this time, at Fang Zheng's house not far from Wang Xuan's house, Fang Zheng's wife Liu asked Fang Zheng puzzled.
"Old woman, you don't understand this, with the turmoil a month ago, many people in Chang'an City have suffered, there are many people in our workshop who are soldiers and have been blamed, this time there are so many empty people, if no one adds in, then what can be done next year's conscription, and the location of our Yongyang Fang, it is destined not to have too many people to come, this is finally one, or strong labor, I can not stay, okay, hurry up and sleep! There is still a push tomorrow" Fang Zheng finished speaking, ignored his mother-in-law, turned over and went to sleep.
"This, old man" looked at Fang Zheng, who had already fallen asleep, Liu muttered, and quickly fell asleep.
And Wang Xuan, who didn't know anything, after a few days of worrying about his life, saw that no one was looking for trouble with him, so he settled down, and got up early every day to clean up his house there.
He first demolished all the houses that were no longer inhabitable, and this demolition took Wang Xuan a lot of time.
After demolishing the houses and putting aside the materials that could still be used, he had the time to deal with the land in the back garden, first he cleared the crazy weeds, and then went to buy a hoe, and hoeed the ground every day.
Not only did he turn over the land in the back garden, but he also turned over the land of the houses he demolished.
His idea is very simple, that is, he is alone anyway, he can't live in so many houses, and he has no land, so it is better to use those lands for farming.
In this way, Wang Xuan's house, except for the wing room where he lived, the ear room he used as a kitchen, and the lobby in front of him, all the others were reclaimed by him as land.
As the land was cleared, the seeds were also planted after he had been treated in various ways.
And Wang Xuan planted many types, including potatoes, a high-yield crop that has just reached the planting season, and essential peppers and other vegetables that can be harvested in the short term have also been planted by Wang Xuan.
Anyway, except for some crops that were planted at an inopportune time, he planted a little bit of everything else he could.
