On the morning of the next day, Li Yanqing appeared at the West Lake South Wharf, which was the former royal wharf, which used to be the exclusive use of the Son of Heaven, but now it has been changed to the exclusive use of the imperial court.

There were dozens of passenger ships moored on both sides of the wharf, and just as an official was about to go to Yuezhou to take up his post, a group of colleagues and officials were bidding farewell on the wharf, and Li Yanqing was standing in the rest pavilion above at this time, waiting for the ship of his wife and daughter to arrive.

On the other side, Hu Qing'er was holding Li Pu, especially Li Pu, who was finally going to see his mother, and his eyes were full of excitement and expectation.

After a while, the farewell official got on the boat, said goodbye to everyone, the ship departed, and the official's wife and daughter came out of the cabin and welcomed him in, and it could be seen that the family was very excited.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly asked Yin Liu Fang of Lin'an Mansion next to him, "How is the progress of the official residence?" ”

Liu Fang was promoted to Lin'an Mansion Yin by the governor of Ezhou in December last year, and five years ago he was still a clerk of the Imperial History Observatory who had not entered the product, just because he followed the right person, and in just five years, he was promoted to the fourth grade of the Zhengfeng doctor, the right Lin'an Mansion Yin.

Liu Fang hurriedly said: "Ninety percent has been completed, and there are still some finishing works in the process of accelerating construction!" ”

Liu Fang is Li Yanqing's confidant, and he knows how important it is for Li Yanqing to encircle and appease middle- and low-level officials.

Five months have passed since Li Yanqing promised to solve the housing problem of officials within half a year, less than a month after he fulfilled his promise, and Li Yanqing has also begun to care.

The reason why Li Yanqing suddenly thought of this matter was because he was very excited to see the officials and his family members just now, generally speaking, officials with real power are not very willing to be released, unless they are non-real power officials, although they can increase their qualifications and income, they will lose their connections in the imperial court, especially when the new imperial court is opened, and all aspects are released at the beginning, and many opportunities will be lost.

So Li Yanqing felt a little strange in his heart, everyone else had to do everything possible to stay in the imperial court, why was this official happy to be released? The first thing that came to his mind was that there would be an official mansion when he was released.

"I'll go to the official residence in the afternoon to have a look." Li Yanqing thought about it and decided to take a look for himself.

"The lowly will be arranged!"

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted, "Your Highness, here!" ”

Li Yanqing perked up, and hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see more than a dozen black spots in the distance, which should be a fleet, heading in the direction of the south wharf.

"Let's go down!"

Li Yanqing took his son's hand and left the rest pavilion and walked quickly towards the dock below.

Not long after, more than a dozen passenger and cargo ships of thousands of stones slowly approached the wharf, where Li Yanqing's wife Cao Yun and her party, as well as various cages for moving, filled with seven or eight large ships, they arrived in Lin'an for nearly a month this time, and picked up Li Yanqing's stepmother Yang and Li Baoyan in Ezhou on the way.

This time, it was not only Li Yanqing's family who came to the east, but also 100,000 elite western troops and a large number of strategic materials such as fire oil and firearms, but the army was assembled a little slowly, and it would not be able to reach Jiangning Mansion in ten days.

The first to get off the boat was Li Yanqing's wife Cao Yun, followed by the nurse, holding the youngest daughter Li Xia.

"Mother!"

Li Pu shouted and ran up, Cao Yun hurriedly squatted down and held her son in her arms, she heard about the palace coup, and she was afraid when she thought of it.

"It's true that your father wrote to say that you have grown taller again."

Cao Yun touched her son's head and found that he had indeed grown taller again, which made her happy.

At this time, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is no new house, for the time being, it is still our old house." ”

"Has anyone ever lived there?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "No, it's still the same as when we left, the doors are locked, and the housekeeper has been careful to maintain them." ”

Cao Yun was relieved and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to move the mansion either, the original house is not bad, and I was reluctant to leave at the beginning." ”

At this time, the nurse took Li Yanqing's youngest daughter Li Xia forward, it had been eleven months, and when she was babbling, the eldest daughter Ah Lian also ran forward to hug her father, and Zhao Fujin hugged her youngest son Li Ling forward, making Li Yanqing busy for a while, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Hu Qing'er stepped forward quietly, took Cao Yun's hand and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, how long have I been looking forward to you." ”

Cao Yun touched her stomach and asked in a low voice, "Is there any?" ”

Hu Qing'er blushed and shook her head slightly.

"You are really not angry, you have been given so long, and there has been no movement, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry!"

"Eldest sister, I can't do anything about this kind of thing."

"Forget it, let's go back and talk about it!"

Cao Yun smiled again and asked, "Husband, do you want to go back now?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled: "Let's get in the car!" We went home. ”

Although everyone was very tired, they all refreshed themselves when they thought that they were going home, and they got into the carriage one after another, and the carriage started and drove towards the palace........

In the afternoon, the home is still a mess, every time I move, it is like this, there are no seven or eight days of tidying, I don't want to have a good sleep, sometimes I am about to fall asleep, suddenly I remember that something has not been placed, and I quickly got up to check, everyone has the same feeling in my heart, moving once is like having a serious illness, and I have no energy for several months.

But there is no way for everyone, they have to follow their husband's career, just hope that this time they can live for a longer time and be more stable.

However, Li Yanqing can't give a clear answer to such a question, will he move the capital again in the future?

In the afternoon, Li Yanqing, accompanied by Liu Fang, came to the construction site of the official residence, the official residence and the official residence are not the same thing, the official residence is a separate compound, covering an area of at least three acres, and only those who are above the fifth grade are eligible to apply, that is to say, as long as the official rank is from the fifth grade, he can apply for a small official residence of three acres of land, and he can live until the official dies.

Military generals stationed in Beijing can also apply for official residences or official residences, but the conditions for military generals are a little more stringent, and military generals must be above the fourth grade to apply for official residences, after all, it is much easier for military generals to be promoted than civilian officials.

As for the officials below the fifth grade, and even a large number of non-grade scribes, they should also consider their residence, they want to start a family, they want to raise children, this is to build an official dormitory, to put it in layman's terms, the official dormitory is the collective dormitory of officials, of course, the conditions are better than the collective dormitory.

The official house is built in the southwest of Lin'an City, located in the Taipingfang in the south of Fuxue, not far from the largest tile in Lin'an City, the east is close to Houshi Street, the location is quite good, the whole official house covers an area of more than 3,000 acres, divided into four districts, and the Taixue School House in Bianliang, Tokyo is very similar, surrounded by high walls, inside the green trees, green bamboo, forests, all kinds of pavilions, rockery pond fish, all readily available, just like a huge park, but not for private enjoyment, but belongs to the public scenery.

The four major gardens are divided according to grades, the sixth-grade official houses and the seventh-grade official houses are concentrated together, called the Plum Garden, the eighth-grade and nine-grade official houses are gathered together, called the Chrysanthemum Garden, and the third district is the official residence of the non-grade scribes, called the Lotus Garden.

But the largest area is called Taoli Garden, which is for the officials of the state capitals in the capital to live, the conditions are slightly worse, there are single rooms, two or three people live in one room, after all, they are all temporarily stationed in Beijing, unlike the Beijing officials who drag their families with their families.

Li Yanqing first came to the plum garden, here is the official residence of the six-rank official and the seven-grade official, very similar to the single-family villa of later generations, each family is a separate house, covering an area ranging from two acres to one acre, like the sixth product is two acres, from the sixth product is one and a half acres, the seventh product and the seventh product are one acre, but the courtyard of the seventh product is slightly more exquisite, and the orientation is also good.

The official houses of the eighth and ninth grades are all townhouses, with five rooms per family and small courtyards in front and back.

The official residence of the servant is a single room, ranging from three to one room according to seniority, and the servant who has just joined the work is a room for two people, and only after one year can he get a single room.

Li Yanqing promised that officials would be able to live in the official residence within half a year, and now there is still a month left, but the official residence has basically been completed, and now the outer wall is being built, trees are planted, and a rockery is being built.

When the officials saw Li Yanqing coming, they bowed down one after another, Li Yanqing suddenly saw his old friend Zhou Chun, Zhou Chun is Gao Shen's son-in-law, and the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "You, a high-ranking official from the third grade, have your own official residence, what are you doing to come to see the official residence of the sixth grade?" ”

Zhou Chun hurriedly saluted and said: "Xia Guan is accompanying the subordinates of the Ministry of Rites to visit the new house, and everyone is very excited and looking forward to it. ”

More than a dozen officials of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to salute together, and Li Yanqing waved his hand and said: "Many of you have been sent out to the county order, and you have your own official residence in the county, and you have to rent a house to live in Beijing, and the conditions are not good. ”

A slightly older official said excitedly: "Your Highness has solved a big problem in our lives by giving us housing, and we are grateful to Your Highness from the bottom of our hearts." ”

At this time, other officials all gathered around, dozens of officials gossiped, and their emotions were very excited, Li Yanqing said: "I am also doing it step by step from the bottom, knowing everyone's difficulties, to support the family, to pay attention to the education of children, but also to support parents."

The housing prices in Lin'an are too expensive, nearly half of the monthly income is used to pay the rent, everyone is living in embarrassment, I heard that many officials in order to save rent, their wives and children are in their hometowns, and they rent a small house in the capital, which is not good.

Therefore, I want to reform the official system, reduce redundant officials, use the money saved to increase the income of the ministers, build official houses and buildings, increase welfare, and improve everyone's living conditions. ”

As soon as Li Yanqing spoke, everyone applauded.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly found that an official was dodging and refusing to face him, he felt a little strange in his heart, so he secretly kept the official under his subordinates, and when everyone dispersed, Li Yanqing stepped forward and asked with a smile: "I seem to see you a little familiar, what is your name?" ”
