In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the city of Luoyang was not too big as a whole, with an area of about 14 square kilometers, and two-thirds of the area in the city was used for palaces, government offices, and offices.

The total population of Luoyang City is about 200,000 to 250,000, and ordinary residents generally live outside Luoyang City, and only powerful officials, powerful and wealthy businessmen can get houses to live in the city.

Therefore, the land price in Luoyang City is frighteningly expensive, and the price of renting a house is not cheap, several times that of other places.

Especially after the revival of Taixue, a large number of students from all over the world poured into Luoyang to study, and 20,000 or 30,000 people poured into Luoyang in a short period of time, which indirectly pushed up the housing prices and land prices inside and outside Luoyang City.

Originally, there were some "low-rent houses" in Taixue, but because of the large number of people, the number of "low-rent houses" that could be allocated to Taixue students was limited.

Some people have a hard relationship and can be mixed together.

Some people are so poor that they come to Luoyang and drag their families to bring them to the old and the young, and the old and the young can also get a set by selling miserably.

It is difficult for people who have no access and are not so poor to get a low-rent house to live in, so most people still have to enter the rental market in Luoyang to rent a house.

That can make a lot of money for the landlords and landlords in Luoyang.

At the beginning, when Liu Bei had not yet made a fortune, as a national-level tyrant of Banbu County in a remote area, he wanted to rely on his own property to win a property in Luoyang City to live, which was a fantasy.

It's not just about money, it's about not being qualified at all.

Even if you are qualified, regardless of location, size, just a set of entry-level small living rooms, you have to smash the pot and sell iron.

If you want to build a decent property in a prosperous area and live comfortably, according to his development speed, rely on yourself, save money and pick and search, and work hard, it will take about seven or eight years.

The reason why he was able to have a decent house in a quiet area in Luoyang City at that time was very simple, if I wrote an article to summarize it, it would probably be-

"My Father-in-law".

Han Rong has been a local official for many years, and he has the benefits of local salt and iron, so he has a lot of family resources, so in order not to let his daughter suffer, in order to let his son-in-law know his ability, he is willing to pay.

It is easy to do things with money, and then Lu Zhi asked an acquaintance in Luoyang City to help him, and chose a small house for Liu Bei, which was very close to Lu Zhi's house, so Han Rong bought it.

At that time, Liu Bei didn't think there was anything wrong, Han Rong was willing to give it, so he accepted it with peace of mind, and the soft rice was eaten hard, and it was very fragrant.

But obviously, not everyone is the same as Liu Bei, there is a father-in-law who is a taishou and has a lot of money, and there are houses in the city to live in as soon as he comes to Luoyang City.

Many ordinary scholars of the ancient literature school lived outside the city of Luoyang, mixed with ordinary residents, they were all old and dilapidated, the houses were dilapidated, leaking wind and rain, the price was not cheap, and the distance to and from Taixue and other places was very long.

Moreover, the public security and hygiene in those places are very bad, and the limited strength of the government and officers and soldiers will only maintain public order and hygiene in the city, but the inside of Luoyang City is very safe and clean, and the living environment of civilians outside the city has nothing to do with them.

Sometimes people are sent to inspect on a whim, and sometimes the dead people are pushed by two, five or six, and they don't care at all, just treat the dead people as air.

Therefore, many ordinary scholars live in places where the security is very poor, there are many thieves, and the sanitary environment is also very poor.

If you live in such a place for a long time, you will have no physical problems, but you will have psychological problems.

Because of his background, Liu Bei prefers to communicate with scholars from poor families and send them warmth.

He often went to these places to meet them and talk to them, but to be honest, he was no stranger to the dilapidated posture, and he had seen it in his previous life, but he had never seen it when the street was splashed with and urine, and the whole dirt road was yellow and yellow, and he really had never seen it.

Therefore, Liu Bei keenly grasped the urgent needs of the scholars, and in addition to paying salaries, he was also ready to build welfare housing and low-rent housing for them, help them improve their living environment, help them in their personal life to the greatest extent, and increase their sense of belonging and loyalty.

But to realize these welfare systems, it takes a lot of money.

People live in this world, they can lack everything, but they can't lack money, otherwise they can't do anything, even if the emperor wants to do things, he needs a lot of money, so Liu Hong worked so hard to make money.

Now Liu Bei also fully feels the pain of lack of money.

engaged in an organization, but there was no financial source, Zheng Xuan was not a rich person, Lu Zhi was not a big money, and Liu Bei's own property was obviously not enough to be divided into this organization.

His own property has already been used to build his own military force in his hometown, and it is really impossible to build political forces here.

But it doesn't matter, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out, Liu Xuande has been walking in Luoyang for so many years, and the most important thing is friends!

So he took a fancy to Cao Cao and Zhen Yan, the big dogs.

At that time, he found Zhen Yan first and explained the importance of this matter, and what made him happy was that Zhen Yan didn't say a word, and asked Liu Bei how much it was.

Liu Bei thought that although everyone had a clear relationship between the top and bottom, and Zhen Yan was also holding his thighs, it was not a face-saving thing for the big guy to ask the younger brother for money.

Concerned about his face and image, he tentatively said a figure that was not excessive, and asked Zhen Yan if he could support it.

If there is a difficulty, it is okay to be less, and he can also find someone else to think of a way, and he can always get enough money.

Zhen Yan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said that he would pay five times, so that Liu Bei could squander it, and it was not enough to ask him again.

Two hundred years of family inheritance, his family lacks everything, but there is no shortage of money.

Liu Bei didn't know that Zhen Yan's biggest trouble at this stage was not that Liu Bei asked him for money, but that Liu Bei didn't ask him for money.

Because he felt that in addition to loyalty, he only had money, and everything else was given to him by Liu Bei, or was going to be given to him, Liu Bei could move forward step by step by himself, and with Liu Bei's step by step, Zhen Yan could move forward step by step.

On his own, no amount of money can move forward.

So apart from money, he couldn't give Liu Bei anything, and he couldn't show his value.

If you have not been able to show your value, then what is the meaning of your existence?

When Liu Bei has more valuable subordinates in the future, will he be abandoned by Liu Bei?

In their circle, having money is really not a big thing.

He was very anxious about this, suffering from mental internal friction syndrome, and was very worried about the future that Liu Bei might abandon him, so he was restless day and night.

Now Liu Bei asked him for money, and he died happily-

"Three sentences, the prince cured my spiritual internal friction".

He looked at Liu Bei's stunned appearance, and asked very intimately.

"Junhou, isn't it too little? Or a little more? Ten times as good as it gets, it's fine, just use it! Not enough and more, I really have money, don't worry about me! Don't bother anyone else, really! ”

He seemed to be even a little afraid that Liu Bei wouldn't ask him for a lot of money.

Liu Bei reacted slowly, grinning, and barely squeezed out a smile.

"Enough, enough, really enough, too much is not good, we are just a small team, we don't need so much money."

Say so, but ......

It's so angry!

It's really infuriating!

It's good to be rich!

I want to be that rich, too!

Liu Bei's face was silent, and in his heart, the pot had exploded, and it took a while to calm down his emotions.

But to do things in Luoyang, it's not enough to have money, you also need people.

So the second big dog came into play.

Cao's.
