Early the next morning, Yang Congyi walked to the front of the Chengnan Hall as he did yesterday. There is still a lot of talk behind the scenes, but those words no longer have any touch on him, and the people can say whatever they want.

When you come to the front of the palace early, you still have to wait as usual.

The only one who came first was Feng Chen, who was on an errand to investigate the case.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Feng Chen told Yang Congyi that tomorrow was a rest day, and he could rest at home for a day, wash his official clothes, or go for a walk in the West Lake.

Being alone in Lin'an, the current rest day is meaningless for Yang Congyi, and the day of looking for a house is not enough at all.

Later, he talked about the issue of monthly salary, Yang Congyi returned to Lin'an last year to receive a salary, and he has not received it again since he left Lin'an, and now he is serving in the front division of the palace, and he still doesn't know how to receive it, so he immediately asked Feng Chen.

Feng Chen told him that the Xuanwei Army Supervisor had received it before, and where he was going to get it now, and the Yulu who served in the front division of the palace was collected in the warehouse, and the afternoon of the 25th of each month was the time to send it, and he would receive it when the time came.

He also specially reminded Yang Congyi that this month's Yu Lu is in front of the palace, in addition to silver money, there are other subsidies in kind, such as silk cloth, oil and salt corn, firewood and charcoal, etc., if you don't want these physical goods, you can also be converted into copper coins, but the same copper coins in Lin'an can't buy those discounted physical goods.

As soon as Yang Congyi heard it, he understood that Feng Chen was reminding him not to discount the in-kind money that the imperial court was going to issue to him because it was inconvenient, and the difference in the price after the discount in kind would definitely be taken up by the official who issued the money.

In addition, Feng Chen also told him that if he didn't receive it, he could keep it there all the time, and it would not be less in the account, but if he didn't receive it for more than ten years, he would no longer be distributed.

Yang Congyi entered Beijing from other places alone, Feng Chen served in the errand grinding case, and he was more clear about his background and experience, and saw that he looked more pleasing to the eye, so he reminded him.

While chatting, the door of the temple opened from the inside.

"Thank you, Lord Feng, for your doubts." Yang Congyi was grateful.

After thanking them, the two stepped into the door one after another.

Opening the door of the Military Case, Yang Congyi couldn't wait to look through the records of the merits of the various armies on the case, he just wanted to know which forbidden army was stationed near Quanzhou, since he was going to be sent to verify the merits, where to go, he should have some right to make proposals.

Soon after, Sun Miao also arrived.

On this day, Yang Congyi and Sun Miao hurriedly spent time in the process of checking and checking the documents.

When Shen Shi, Sun Miao got up and reminded: "Secretary Yang, tomorrow is a rest day, have a good rest, Lord Zhang should come before the end of the month to determine the verification object with us." Be prepared, if you're pressed for time, you may have to leave Beijing early next month. ”

"Okay, thank you, Lord Sun." Yang Congyi responded with a smile, the sooner he left Beijing, the better, he couldn't ask for it.

After Sun Miao cleaned up the bookcase a little, he left first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come, please go back early."

Yang Congyi looked at the book for a while, until he heard someone shouting in the courtyard, so he put away the booklet, got up and went out, and locked the door with his hand.

When Yang Congyi walked through the courtyard and passed in front of the forbidden soldier, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about it." ”

The leader of the forbidden army looked solemn, raised his hand and said, "Lord Yang, go slowly." ”

When he arrived at the yamen, he saw four forbidden soldiers returning to the door, ready to close the door at any time, Yang Congyi did not delay and walked out quickly.

There are a lot of confidential information in the front of the palace, and there is no one outside the yamen after the time of Shen, and it is suspected that the information is directly placed in the office, and there is neither a cabinet nor a box, which may not be safe, but now it seems that it is too much to think about.

In fact, he didn't know very well how big the yamen in front of the palace was, and when he came to report on the first day, he just walked around casually, and there were forbidden army sentry posts in some places, so it was inconvenient to approach.

The entire palace front division is under the control of the forbidden army, and the officials who come to the yamen to work do not seem to be the masters here.

How about the front division of the palace, whether the official is the owner of the yamen, in fact, Yang Congyi doesn't care, after leaving the gate, he left straight and returned to the inn all the way.

Fang An's efficiency was very high, and when Yang Congyi returned to the inn, he heard good news, he found two good small courtyards outside the city, and the price was okay.

This news is very important to Yang Congyi, Qingchen is going to take Lin'an, don't get the house done before leaving Lin'an, and it will be very troublesome when he comes back with Qingchen.

Early the next morning, Yang Congyi went straight out of Qiantang Gate under the personal leadership of Fang An and his men, walked northwest for half an hour, and then entered a small courtyard.

There are six or seven houses in this courtyard, which look relatively old, the wooden doors and windows are a little blackened, the roof tiles are covered with moss, the furniture in the house is old, but it is relatively complete, there is a chicken coop in the courtyard, a well, and the whole yard has a strong atmosphere of life.

There has been a recent accident in the householder's family, and he is in a hurry to move to other places, so this yard is only sold and not rented, and the yard plus two acres of fertile land only needs 400 copper coins or 200 taels of silver, which is still the price that Fang An and the householder have already negotiated.

To tell the truth, Yang Congyi is still quite satisfied with this yard, although it is a little old, but it does not affect the residence, he and Qingchen are both people who have suffered, and they will not be too picky about the house, but the price of buying the yard is far more than expected, and now he has little money on him, and he can't afford it at all, even if he receives seven or eight months of Yulu together, it is not enough, so he is a little hesitant.

Fang An saw some clues on the side, Yang Congyi had nothing to hide, it was not a shame to not be able to afford a house in Lin'an, so he bluntly told him, this yard is good, but now he is a little short of money, he can only rent it, and he can't afford it, and it will take a few days to get it.

This is indeed a problem, the head of the household is urging more urgently, and the price of the yard is also very cheap, Fang An can also see from Yang Congyi's expression and attitude that he is more satisfied with this yard, if he can take it down, of course it is the best, but unfortunately the money is not enough.

After Yang Congyi asked about the situation of the other courtyard, Fang An was more sure that this courtyard was what Lord Yang liked.

So he tentatively proposed to Yang Congyi that he could help buy this yard first, and then slowly repay him when he had enough money.

Yang Congyi did not immediately reject this proposal, thought about it for a while, and said that it was better to borrow money directly to buy a house by himself, and then borrowed money from Fang An.

Fang An had already prepared, and immediately took out two hundred taels of silver bills.

Yang Congyi borrowed pen and ink from the head of the household, wrote the IOU on the spot and handed it to Fang An.

After a while, the purchase procedures were completed, and Yang Congyi successfully obtained the title deed and house deed, and agreed with the householder to come to collect the house three days later.

As for the two acres of fertile land on the title deed, Yang Congyi didn't care very much, he didn't know how to farm, and he didn't have that mind, he didn't care if there was good land or not, so he didn't want to go to the field to inspect it.

On the way back to the city, Fang An took the initiative to propose that if Yang Congyi didn't have time, he could find someone to help tidy up the house first and rest again.

Yang Congyi really doesn't have time, even if he buys a house, he won't live in it before Qingchen comes to Lin'an, because the distance from there to the front of the palace is too far, if there is no means of transportation, it is very inconvenient to go to the front of the palace every day, but with his current financial resources, it is difficult to buy a bad horse, and he will leave Beijing soon, and there is no need to buy a horse and a car at the moment, so it is better to continue to live in the guest house before leaving Beijing.

But now that he has bought a yard, it will definitely not work if no one takes care of it, so the shopkeeper Fang offered to help, and the house was handed over to him for the time being, anyway, the deed was in his own hands, and it was unlikely that he would be a businessman to fight the idea of the court officials. So after pretending to excuse himself, all the things about the rest and care of the yard were handed over to him.

After returning to Lin'an City, Yang Congyi did not return to the inn with Fang An, but went to the horse market.

Quanzhou is different from Lin'an, in Quanzhou City can walk for half an hour to complete the slightly prosperous area of the city, and in Lin'an for a day, you can't turn a few streets and squares. Qingchen is a female dependent, after coming to Lin'an, there is no means of travel that is not suitable, and the carriage is a necessary tool.

The carriage in the city does not need to be fast, it is stable enough, so the horse that pulls the carriage does not need to be very good, practical first, as far as this is concerned, the horses raised locally in the Great Song Dynasty are just right, Yang Congyi has no money, and the official position is not high, and the horses in the northern grassland cannot afford or use it.

When he came to the horse market, he just looked at the prices first, so that he could be prepared.

The horse market in the city is very small, and there are horses of all kinds of prices, but they are only for sale, and if you want to buy horses, you can go to the horse farm in the northern suburbs of the city. According to the guy, the suburban horse farm is very large, as long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of famous horses, such as Korean horses, Qinghai horses, grassland horses, and Western Regions sweat and blood horses, of course, there are also a variety of horses with lower prices, which can meet everyone's needs.

The northern suburbs of the horse farm, Yang Congyi has heard of it for a long time, and has never been to see it, I heard that the actual controller of the horse farm has a deep background, even if it is really when the Song and Jin are fighting fiercely, they can get hundreds of high-quality war horses from the north at one time, but the war horses that come to Lin'an will not be supplied to the army, but will be sold at a price, and will eventually be bought by wealthy families at a high price.

When the relationship between the Song and Jin countries was the most tense, a high-quality war horse in the northern grassland could be sold for 300,000 guan, and now the Song and Jin peace talks, there is no war between the two countries, and there is a field on the northern border, it is not too difficult for a good horse to go south, the price has decreased, and it can be sold for 300,000 guan before, but now it can only buy about 200,000 guan, but once the top war horse in the north comes to Lin'an, it will not be sold at all, and will only be lent to high-ranking officials and magnates to play, because this kind of horse is very rare, and anyone who sells it will offend people.

Yang Congyi took a few turns in the horse market, and took a fancy to a kind of local horse of the Great Song Dynasty, which was not big, very docile, and very suitable for pulling a cart, and the price was only 50 yuan.

After seeing it, there was nothing else to do, so I wanted to go to West Lake for a walk.
