Chapter 36 House Prices

Wan Qiyang walked out of the ready-to-wear store after speaking, and saw a signboard blue flag hanging in front of the store without taking two steps, with the same word "tea" on both sides.

At this time, Wan Qiyang walked on the street, and the flow of people was still not small, but because he was relatively tall, there were not many people who could exceed his height, and he was either a hat or a high bun at a glance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's just that the protagonist of this play is himself, and the director is also himself, and there is no chance of NG in this play, whether the performance is good or bad, and no one knows what the ending is, all of this can only be confirmed by waiting for time.

Wan Qiyang came to the big road opposite the Qihua Gate that the shopkeeper said, stood at a big intersection to identify the direction, and then looked along the street to the south and saw the signboard flag of the ticket number "Huibaoyuan" ticket number, which is said to be as loud as "Bozhou Qianzhuang".

This Qihuamen was originally a grain transportation channel. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the grain produced in the south of the Ming and Qing dynasties must be transported to Beijing through the Huihe River and to Tongzhou in the east of Beijing by water. When you enter the city, you will be greeted by Chaoyangmen. Therefore, on the top of the city gate cave of Chaoyang Gate, there is an ear of grain engraved. When the grain entered the Chaoyang Gate, it was stored in a nearby granary.

There is also a vacant lot not far from both sides of the city gate, and there is a bulletin board erected on the vacant land, because Qihuamen is a special bead channel for transporting grain, and there are usually some announcements here, what is the price of grain, what grain is transported from where, whether there is an empty ship to return and other information release, but there is also some personal information released during the harvest season, such as which family has what inventory, what place needs to buy something. Therefore, there are usually some people standing under this bulletin board, because there is a demand for a way to live, and many people stand aside and wait for someone to hire temporary workers.

Wan Qiyang also came over at this time, he felt that every time he read an announcement, there would be a certain surprise, and this time he came over to see if there were any surprises.

Some of the information on the announcement is really messy.,What's for sale or something.,A certain workshop needs a few workers.,It's very messy.,There's a word for selling real estate under a recruitment notice that has just been posted.,Because it's covered with some, I can only vaguely guess these words.。 As soon as Wan Qiyang saw this information, he immediately had a thought in his heart, and he had a mind to buy a house in the capital. He thought that it was impossible for him to buy real estate in Beijing in modern society, even in the Fifth Ring Road, and he didn't know how many years he had to work to earn a down payment, but now there was an opportunity here, you must know that real estate in the Ming Dynasty was not expensive. A few dozen taels of silver can buy a set of courtyard houses, Wan Qiyang remembers that there is a clear transaction record in a book of historical research: in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Fu Shangzhi, a resident of Zhengyangmen Street in Beijing, sold a small courtyard house, two south rooms, two north rooms, and one wing room, and the selling price was only 33 taels. In other words, even in Beijing, the capital at that time, it only took a few dozen taels of silver to buy a set of courtyard houses.

Regarding the low housing prices in the Ming Dynasty, there is also a strong circumstantial evidence: in the fourteenth year of Chenghua (1478), the imperial court issued house purchase money to the descendants of the surname Zhu who were divided into various places, and the emperor's elder brother, younger brother, uncle, and uncle could each receive thousands of taels to buy super mansions; The emperor's cousins and cousins were able to receive a few hundred taels each, which they used to buy less luxurious mansions; Those who are a little more estranged, like the fourth nephew of the third grandson of the second uncle of Ming Xianzong, can only receive a few dozen taels to buy a relatively ordinary house (see Wanli's "Ming Huidian" volume 18). This shows that there must be houses of hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels, but there are also houses of dozens of taels, and they cannot be too bad, because in the eyes of their royal children, it is the lowest grade, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is at least the standard of being well-off.

During the Wanli period, in the Beijing labor market, ordinary migrant workers worked hard for a day, and could earn 5 points of silver, that is, 0.05 taels (see Shen Bang's "Wan Department Miscellaneous Records" volume 15), if there is work 365 days a year, you can earn 18 taels of silver, if you don't eat or drink, you can buy a set of courtyard houses with two years' wages. You see, how cheap the prices were back then!

Wan Qiyang walked up at this time to see the covered sales address on it, but the group of people who were looking for something to do immediately walked up and surrounded him, what was going on?

It's not that his clothes are causing trouble, you think he is dressed so richly, those people don't all think that it is a rich person who comes to publish the recruitment information, so as long as one person comes forward, then these people have to follow and ask if they want someone, this time Wan Qiyang was dumbfounded, and he couldn't get close to the bulletin board at all.

There was no way but to give up, and hurriedly ran out, and some people were reluctant to chase after and ask if they wanted to recruit people. It wasn't until he got angry that the people left. After Wan Qiyang left there, he came directly to the "Huibaoyuan" ticket number, that is, Qianzhuang, which is called Qianzhuang in the south and the ticket number in the north.

As soon as Wan Qiyang entered the door, someone immediately came to greet him, and the guy didn't ask what he was doing when he came in after making all the tea, of course, he came here to either withdraw money or save money. But Wan Qiyang is an exception, he neither takes nor save, he just turns the large amount into a small amount to facilitate his purchase.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "Welcome to this treasure, do you need any help?" "In fact, at this time, this kind of money bank already has that kind of lending business, but it has done very little, and the target group is also small.

"Oh, I'd like to exchange this silver ticket for a small amount, can I?" Wan Qiyang took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and handed it out.

When the other party looked at him, he was still quite young, and the shot was five hundred taels, so it seemed that he must have a background. Of course, even if you don't have a background, you can be considered a rich person if you can take out a large amount of silver tickets, "Of course you can, I don't know how big the denomination of the son is, I'll change it for you in the next place." After speaking, he handed the silver ticket to Wan Qiyang.

Wan Qiyang saw that the service was good, obviously the other party thought in his heart for the safety of the guests, he must wait for a small amount to be exchanged for a large amount, so that the guests are more down-to-earth, in fact, the reputation of this kind of money bank is quite good, and it will not do those small tricks at all.

"Oh, I need two for a hundred taels, three for fifty taels, and two for thirty taels, four for twenty taels, and one for ten taels. Thank you! After Wan Qiyang finished speaking, he was thinking, such a person in charge of the money bank must be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Maybe its status is not low, and I will ask if the people in the tooth shop know each other.

Just drinking tea, the middle-aged man just now came out with a small amount of silver tickets that had been exchanged. "Childe, please take stock to see if the plan is consistent as you just said."

"Thank you!" Wan Qiyang took it in his hand, and then he didn't count it, so he put it in the hidden pocket of the underwear point.

"Thank you Childe for your trust. Don't know how else I can help you? The middle-aged man also expressed his admiration for Wan Qianyang's action, and he directly accepted such a large denomination of silver tickets without counting them, and this kind of bearing is not generally comparable.
