Although the landlord is not a serious businessman, he is also a shrewd person, where is he willing to make a loss-making business? He shook his head and said, "Everyone, it's not what I said, you go to the surrounding area to inquire, at this time in Chang'an City, where is there anyone cheaper than me?" ”

The middle-aged man frowned, and was about to speak, when the young man gritted his teeth and said, "Daddy, I won't drink tea in the future, save money......"

The landlord sighed: "That's it, looking at you like this, you must have come from far away." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info like this, eight times a month, only rent for one month, and then decide next month to see the market, how? ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... This is a good feeling! I, Wang Jiefu, thank you, brother. ”

"And don't be busy, it seems that you are all scholars, and there is no evidence to prove it. You have to make a deed and sign it, and then I will give you the key. "The landlord is obviously a veteran and knows the process very well.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Wang Jiefu, Wang Anshi. The young man was his second son, the king. On the other carriage, Wang Anshi's eldest brother Wang Anguo, third brother Wang Anshang, and fourth brother Wang Anli were on the carriage. As for his eldest son, Wang Yan, he was in the carriage in which he got down. Coupled with their respective domestic servants, there are four people in a carriage, which is said to be a large family, but in fact, it is almost the same.

Wang Anshi immediately asked Wang to take out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, write down the notes word by word, sign and draw them seriously, and hand them over together with the rent. The landlord looked at the money, looked at the words again, and generally felt that it was okay, so he said: "Don't hide it from you, I can't actually read, hehe......"

Wang Anshi was stunned, he didn't expect this layer. If you had known it earlier, you might have saved a lot of money by writing a random number. However, he is a decent gentleman, and he disdains to do these tricks and feet, and it is also his ability to have his own house in Chang'an. People rely on their ability to eat, why should they be a wicked person?

The landlord also has the cunning of Xingdou Xiaomin, he is illiterate, but he pretends to be literate and asks Wang Anshi to honestly hand over the money to him. In fact, everyone understands that the housing prices in Chang'an City are just more expensive in these two months. After these two months, it will gradually return to normal levels. After all, there was only one way out for the literati at this time - the title of the gold list, and there was no other way. However, the road to the imperial examination is the narrowest road in the world, and it is a wonderful metaphor for "thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge". "Thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge", so naturally some people are happy and some are worried. Those who are in the exam stay, those who fail the exam, the money and silver are spent, and those who return to their hometowns will return to their hometowns and continue to "Beijing Drift" and "Beijing Drift", anyway, the pressure on housing is not so great.

The landlord smiled and let the person next to him look at it, and the man nodded and said there was no problem. When the landlord heard this, he immediately took out a hundred wen from the eight pieces of money, counted them, and handed them into his hands. Wang Anshi knows that the industry that this person is engaged in is called a tooth person, as the name suggests, he is a person who eats by his teeth, also known as Zhuang Zhai Ya person, which is equivalent to an intermediary in later generations. This tooth man is not good, he mainly takes the landlord's money and does things for the landlord. To do this business, first of all, you must have poisonous eyes and recognize prospective tenants. Secondly, you must be able to speak and praise the house as if there is nothing in the sky or in the earth. In the end, it is necessary to come up with convincing evidence for the tenant. What evidence? This house is legally rented out, and there is absolutely nothing illegal. It is not enough to have these three conditions, you also have to be literate, and if the tenant is illiterate, you must also be able to write a lease contract. If there is a problem with the lease, they are the guarantors, and they will not only have to pay compensation, but also have to go to jail. It is not easy to be a tooth person, they also have to be familiar with the housing price market in Chang'an City, after all, a tooth person, his employer can not be only one. If there was only one employer, he would have gone to drink the northwest wind a long time ago.

Of course, there are exceptions, and some tooth people specialize in public housing business and make money from tenants. It's just that with the establishment of the Supervision Department, such tooth people have gradually disappeared......

After the landlord and the tooth man left, Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Go and help your eldest brother into the house......"

Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Big brother is asleep, if you ......"

A weak voice came from the carriage: "I'm fine......"

Wang Fang didn't dare to be stunned any longer, and hurriedly helped Wang Yan get out of the carriage. Wang Anguo also fell to the ground and said, "Is it true that Yuan Ze doesn't take this subject?" ”

Wang Yan's face was full of sickness, and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle, look at my current appearance, can you still last for three days?" Before he could say anything, he coughed violently.

Wang Anshi was worried, he valued his eldest son the most, and Wang Yan did not disgrace him, but this body dragged him down. "My father heard that there are many doctors with excellent medical skills in Chang'an City, and one of them is called Sun Yonghe. If you have nothing to do in the past few days, I will go to him first to see you sick. This body can't be cured, and nothing can be done! ”

Wang Yan said weakly: "The child's illness is worried about Daddy Lao. ”

"Don't be stunned, let's go in!" Wang Anshang watched from the sidelines, feeling that they had blocked most of the way on the street, so he said.

The Wang family entered the courtyard and found that it was much smaller than the house in their hometown in Linchuan. In addition to the good repair, nothing is as good as Linchuan's hometown. The king supported Wang Yan beside him, and muttered: "It's just a broken house, dare to reach out and ask for eight dollars." With this eight pieces of money, I don't know how many acres of land I can buy in Linchuan, enough for me to drink tea many times......"

Wang Anli listened to Wang's words and said with a smile: "Ping'er is right, the price is higher, but it's worth it." ”

Wang's eyes widened: "Is it worth it?" I think it's a money grab! ”

Wang Anshi said calmly: "No, this money has to be spent." ”

Wang Anguo knew Wang Anshi's temperament, and he was afraid that he would scold if he said it again, so he hurriedly pulled him aside and asked Wang Yan to sit down in the courtyard first, and then said in a low voice: "Our Wang family came to Beijing to take the exam this time, and almost came with the heart of death. Admittedly, the rent is a bit expensive, but it looks decent. I have long heard that 'in Chang'an City, under Shuangque, every inch of land, the same price as gold, non-Xun Qi family, living in no gaps', it is not a strange news. If a few of us are lucky enough to be a high school jinshi, even if we are at the bottom, we can be a ten-grade official, and it will be a matter of honoring our ancestors. The Wang family is a big family in Linchuan, and they can't afford to rent two courtyards in the capital, what kind of system is this? ”

Although Wang Bei couldn't study, he was not slow to wake up, and he understood: "I see! ”

At this time, Wang Anshi looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, dinner is still coming, and it's better to eat some dry food." On the side, Yuan Ze is sick and can't eat cold, so you go outside and buy some cooked food and come back. ”

The king didn't dare not listen, touched the coil around his waist, estimated that there was still some money, and then bowed his hand to the uncles and walked out of the courtyard. Looking at the figure of the second son in the distance, Wang Anshi sighed inaudibly, and said in his heart: "It's not easy to go to Beijing to catch the exam!" (To be continued.) )
