Chapter 0042 Homestead Land Not for Sale
"Can't find the homestead?"
Yang Mansion, the side courtyard, looking at Yang Da bowing his head with an aggrieved face, Yang Yi suddenly felt incredulous.
"Today, there are only more than 80,000 people in Chang'an, less than 20,000 households, and there is no homestead within a radius of one or two miles from Weiyang?"
He was fortunate enough to witness the scarcity of housing prices and land in the capital city of later generations, but it was still difficult for Yang Yi to accept this reality.
- This is just Chang'an, the capital of Han!
It's not the Kyoto of the Hereafter!
What's more, if you have just entered peace today, Chang'an City has not yet been built, and it has only been a few years since Liu Bang promulgated the "Decree on the Granting of Fields to the People"!
In the internal history, there are only one million households in Guanzhong, and the population is only more than six million!
Compared with the more than 200,000 people at the peak of history, Chang'an City at this time, even if you count the thousands of heads in Shang Guanli, there are more than 80,000 people at most.
Why is Chang'an's land so scarce?
Yang Yi's doubts are obviously not the answers that a house slave like Yang Da can give.
Seeing that Yang Da muttered a little, he explained with a little weakness: "Young boy, it's true!" β
"Weiyang Palace is adjacent to Changle in the east, and Changle is still sandwiched by Shangguanli and the arsenal, and there is no homestead at all."
"And the west and south of Weiyang Palace, in the future, they are all outside the city wall of Chang'an, if the young son settles here, I am afraid that he will enter the palace in the future, and there will be many inconveniences......"
As soon as Yang Da said this, Yang Yi's confusion eased slightly.
Even though the city walls of Chang'an City have not yet been built, the regional planning of roads, markets, and residences in the city has long been finalized by Prime Minister Xiao He when he built the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang.
If the Chang'an City on the map is compared to an erected rectangle and divided into six areas similar to abdominal muscles, then the lower left corner is all occupied by Weiyang Palace.
The lower right and middle right areas are occupied by Changle Palace.
Between the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle is Zhangtai Street, and on the side of Zhangtai Street close to Weiyang Palace, from north to south stand the arsenal, Shangguanli, and the high temple near the south city gate - Anmen.
That is to say, half of the six existing planning areas in Chang'an City are occupied by the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang.
The remaining half, too, is not entirely residential.
ββTo the north of Weiyang Palace, Qili, across Artemisia Street and Weiyang Palace, occupies the left and middle part of the 'six-pack abs', and the remaining half is only two residential areas in Tiesuo Village and Huangjiazhuang.
The only remaining upper left and upper right 'abdominal muscles' have to take on the functions of residential houses and markets.
Remove the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, and then remove the 'government areas' such as the arsenal, Gaomiao, and Taimiao, the gathering areas of 'special classes' such as Shangguanli, Qili, and Xiaoli, as well as the two cities of East and West, and Xiaoli City......
In the end, the entire Chang'an, the area that can be used for the people to live will definitely not exceed one-third.
Moreover, more than ninety percent of these one-third areas are concentrated in the top two parts of the 'six-pack abs', which are obviously more than one mile away from the Weiyang Palace in the lower left corner......
"It's farther away, north of Changle, or nearly one or two miles to the left of the east and west cities, isn't it impossible?"
Thinking about the regional division of Chang'an, Yang Yi took the initiative to reduce the requirements for the selection area according to the experience of later generations.
- It's okay to stay a little farther away from the unit, just within the second ring road.
But it's a pity that Yang Yi didn't see the expected ease from the expression of the loyal slave Yangda.
For example, when Yang Yi wandered in the northern capital in later generations, the real estate agent showed a sense of relief when he heard the requirement that 'the subway can be passed'.
"Second Son......"
"Non-slaves are not dedicated, but now Chang'an, there is no place for sale......"
If the mourner let out a wail, Yang Da added another sentence: "Emperor Gao gave the people fields, lords, and homesteads only a few years old, and the people of Chang'an regard their own homesteads as treasures, so how can they want to give them goods?" β
What Yang Da didn't expect was that it was precisely this sentence of dying and struggling that made Yang Yi completely relieved.
"I see......
If you think about it, you will know: when the Han dynasty was first established, the capital was Chang'an, and the people who were not fools would inevitably cherish their Chang'an household registration very much.
There is no need to question this, looking at the later generations, the contempt of the people of Kyoto and the Demon Capital for outsiders is enough to explain all this.
Naturally, the people of Chang'an are naturally reluctant to sell the homestead that has just been handed over and has not yet been hot.
- Not to mention the sale, I'm afraid that as soon as the homestead was obtained, it was changed into one farmhouse after another in October!
As for why the area within the city walls of Chang'an City is so sought-after, in addition to the extremely compelling title of 'Chang'an people', there is also a little factor, which must also play a key role.
Law and order issues.
Although the Han family has enjoyed the state for 12 years, in fact, the troubled times and wars are not very far from now.
Fourteen years ago, Xianyang City, which was across the Weishui River from Chang'an City, was still the capital city of the former Qin!
About nine years ago, Xinfeng, more than 100 miles north of Chang'an, was still the capital of Sima Xin, the king of Sima Xin, who was named the king of Sai by Xiang Yu - Liyang!
Counting the former Qin, as well as the several princes who briefly controlled the land of the Three Qin after the fall of Qin, the current Guanzhong region has been controlled by the third force in just over a dozen years.
Naturally, whether it was more than ten years ago, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu led the army to break through Xianyang, or the Han King Liu Bang returned to the Three Qins, it will inevitably make some of the 'remnants of the previous dynasty' hide in the mountains and forests and fall into the grass.
In addition, in the land of Guanzhong, the Ranger Rebellion that has occurred since the Warring States Period has made the security situation in the vicinity of Chang'an a big question mark.
ββNow, under the command of the lieutenant, he is the 'Captain of the Thieves' who specializes in fighting thieves and thieves, but he is still a super high rank of 2,000 stones!
This alone is enough to show how bad the law and order situation in the area near Chang'an is.
The public security situation outside the city is terrible, and the countryside and mountains are full of professional households, so that 'living in Chang'an City and being protected by the city wall of the capital' has become the most simple and strongest desire of the people of Chang'an.
In this way, how can those people who are lucky enough to have their homestead in Chang'an City exchange this homestead for money?
"Yes."
"Chang'an should not be landless, but the vacant land is not in the hands of the people."
Historically, Chang'an City once housed a population of more than 200,000; Today, Chang'an has a population of 80,000, which means that there are still many areas that can be lived.
It's just that......
"Hi ......"
"The son of the dignified young mansion, I didn't expect to be like ordinary people, go to the internal history to register the household registration and receive the ...... of the field."
Laughing at himself, Yang Yi stood up and walked towards the outside of the mansion.
"I'm going to see that old guy again......"
