Chapter 008: Where does wealth come from?

Yang Qing pursed his lips disdainfully, he was greedy, he was still so ostentatious. It's not a royal relative, a prince and a nobleman, what are you doing with an official who makes your own door so luxurious, who will you arrest if you don't arrest you? Should!

Chang'an's "property market" is no worse than it is now, and wanting to own a house of your own in Chang'an City is also the biggest dream of most "working" people who come to Chang'an. If outsiders come to Chang'an and have no ancestral property to inherit, if they want to buy a house in the capital city, let alone ordinary people, even officials with a considerable level seem to have the problem of not being able to afford a house and having difficulty in buying a house.

In Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most generous treatment for officials, but except for the border generals and civil and military ministers who had made great contributions and were given mansions by the emperor, ordinary officials did not have the treatment of welfare and housing. In addition to living in the government office, private houses have to be purchased or built by the officials' own money.

The great poet Bai Juyi first entered Chang'an, and the spring breeze was full of ambition. Twenty-seven-year-old Zhongjin Shi, first served as Zhou Zhi County Lieutenant, and then promoted to school secretary, Bai Hanlin bachelor, according to his rank at that time was not too low, and the rank of Yulu was not too small, but in this way, he still couldn't afford to buy a house after 20 years, and he also wrote poems to laugh at himself, "Traveling in Kyoto in the twenty springs, there is nowhere to be poor in poverty." The envy snail still has a house, and it is better to hide the mouse. ”

This poem is actually similar to a joke that Yang Qing heard in the 21st century. It is said that the bee butterfly has been in love for a long time and finally decided to get married. But on the eve of the wedding, the butterfly married the snail. The bee was puzzled and asked, "Where is he better than me?" Butterfly replied: People have their own houses, how can it be like you live in a collective dormitory?! It seems that human beings envy snails for having their own houses, which have been around since the Tang Dynasty.

Han Yu, the great writer, the official worship department (deputy director of the Central Personnel Organization Department, the same as Yang Wang) and Jing Zhaoyin (equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing), also stayed up for 30 years at this level before buying a small house: "I first came to Beijing to teach, and I stopped at carrying a book, and worked hard for 30 years to have this house." Han Huizhi was in addition to Yu Lu, but there was also a lot of "pen money".

No wonder he took Bai Juyi's name half jokingly and half reminded him back then: "Everything in Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place." ”

If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor giving this big mansion to Yang Wang, Yang Qing's family would have to find a cheap small courtyard in Chang'an City and rent it to live in, and most of the old servants in Rongzhou would be dismissed because they would not be able to settle it.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing felt a little strange, the Ministry of Officials is an important department, and the official position of the Ministry of Officials is by no means small, but how many people are staring at the deputy of such a critical department, how can my father be too guarded by Xiazhou to listen to the heavens, and from then on one step into Chang'an? You must know that not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the officials of all dynasties in China are proud to be Beijing officials, and the decentralization is either the experience before reuse, or they are very unkind to see you, so you can go and play.

Even if the ancestral tomb of the Yang family is smoking and the heavens favor it, the old Yang family has the shit luck of winning the special prize of the 20 welfare lottery, and this official should be Yang Wang's servant, but it would be even stranger to give such a big house before he took office. You must know that it is too much honor to be given a residence by the emperor in Chang'an, and it is not a border general who has opened up the territory or a bachelor who has settled the country in peace and stability cannot receive this honor. It's true that Qingming has a good reputation under Dad's rule, but it hasn't reached that either.

I haven't heard that there is a big tree in the Yang family's court, and his future father-in-law is the founding county prince, but it is a shadow attack, it is an honorary position, and the court is speechless. It's certainly unjustifiable that no one is behind it.

In the past ten days, my father and mother haven't spoken a few times, and they haven't mentioned this stubble at all, no, I have to find someone to ask.

Thinking of this, the old lady had already walked in, quietly pulled the housekeeper Ding, and asked, "Lao Ding, you have been in Chang'an for a few days." Have you ever heard of why the Holy One gave the old man a house? Also, whose house used to belong to this house, I heard that it was a corrupt official who committed crimes? ”

Steward Ding was very unaccustomed to hearing the title of "Lao Ding", and almost fell into a beating. Hurriedly bowed: "The second son, don't call me that, just call me Steward Ding like before." This new house of our family is indeed the former residence of Song Hun in the former imperial history, which was confiscated because of the corruption of ink, and a few days ago the saint Shanglong gave it to the master. Belch...... I heard that Lord Yang Zhao and Lord Yang praised my master a lot in front of the saint, but the old slave didn't know whether it was true or not, so he didn't dare to say more. ”

Yang Zhao? I've never heard of such a character in the Xuanzong Dynasty? can speak in front of the emperor, according to the word, this quality should definitely not be low.

"Who is this Yang Zhao Yang?"

"Lord Yang is the brother of today's noble concubine Niangniang, and now he is the official residence of the military department and the middle of the imperial history, and the saint is in the middle of the throne a few days ago."

Isn't that Yang Guozhong? Why is there another Yang Zhao?

Yang Qing is beating the drum in his heart, won't it be because I have traveled through time to change history? So fast? I just entered Chang'an, and I haven't heard of this Yang Zhao at all. It stands to reason that it shouldn't have anything to do with me!

Why did Yang Zhao say good things for his father? I didn't hear my father mention such a person, but repeatedly warned myself that we have no relatives and no reason in Chang'an, but be careful in everything, and don't arbitrarily cause trouble. As the saying goes, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief", why did Yang Zhao support his father? It can't be for everyone's surname Yang, and it was a family five hundred years ago.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing was stunned. All surnamed Yang? Xiang'er said that we and Yang Yuhuan are still fellow countrymen?

Yang Guifei's brother, this relationship will be said in the next generation: relatives! Since ancient times, relatives have attached great importance to the development of their clansmen's power, not to mention, martial artists have done this before they became female emperors. What Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, Wu Youji, Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Huaiyun...... Piles of mother's family members have been promoted to high-ranking officials regardless of their talents and qualities, and they have become female queens, and they are directly crowned kings and generals.

Is it because of this?

Yang Qing turned his head to look at Steward Ding, his eyes were strange: "Old ...... Steward Ding, our Yang family and the concubine are ...... Related? ”

Steward Ding was furious by Yang Qing, so he simply lowered his head and replied, "The old slave hasn't heard the old man talk about it." However, everyone is surnamed Yang and is in the same Rongzhou, so it may be impossible to say whether there are some origins in the previous generations. ”

Ding Guan is an old man, and when he heard the little boy ask about this, then Yang Zhao and Lord Yang spoke for his own family, and he didn't know what he had in mind here, so he gave an ambiguous statement.

"Childe! Why are you still standing outside? Xiang'er saw that Yang Qing was still standing at the door, thinking that she was waiting for herself, and her heart was very sweet. Xiao Si and I assigned them to put things in before going in. Go in first, the sun is poisoning outside. ”

Yang Qing woke up from his contemplation and responded. Forget it, I don't want to, the old man went to the pier, and came back in the evening to ask him. Now, visit your new home!
