"So, this house is yours?" Lin Liangyou looked at the deed in his hand.

"It's mine." Zhang Ben honestly admitted, after all, his name was written in black and white, as well as the big red official seal of the political secretary.

"I really can't imagine it, big brother, you are in Daming, and the real estate has been earned." Lin Liangyou returned the deed to Zhang Ben.

"You don't want to think about how long I've been here?" Zhang Ben took the deed and stuffed it into his arms, "Twenty-eight...... It's been almost 30 years, and even if I move bricks honestly, I can buy a house, right? Although this is a Jingshi, the current housing prices are not too exaggerated. ”

At the beginning of Yongle, the streets and alleys of the capital were still full of thatched houses, and considering that fires often occurred, they burned down the official and private houses, and then all of them were changed to tiled houses. This is also the case in Beiping, after the Yongle Emperor moved the capital, it was renamed Beijing, and the city of Beijing became more and more prosperous.

At that time, although there was also a large influx of immigrants in big cities such as Beijing, the urban aborigines did not have the same strong pursuit of real estate as hundreds of years later, and real estate was not an industry at all, and it was impossible to make a fortune by hoarding houses.

Real estate is a demographic dividend, and at that time, the government was not enough to employ people, where did the demographic dividend come from?

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, Nanjing was already "the people without the natives". At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu settled in Nanjing, "migrating to the Quartet giant clan", so most of the residents of Nanjing later came from the Quartet. Those who have no house or land, the official gives cattle seeds, exempt from three years, the four people have their own fixed employment, and the people are content with the farm.

Those who come to the capital to do business often have long-term rental inns, which are more cost-effective than buying a house. Moreover, the ancients paid attention to the return of fallen leaves, and few people would take the initiative to change their registration and settle in other places. Migration and immigration are all forced by the government, how can anyone take the initiative?

As for the nomads who do not have houses and are unwilling to farm and produce, in addition to living in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, there are also good places to shelter from the wind and rain in the city, such as Jingshan Pavilion and Shenming Pavilion.

As for government personnel, the Ming Dynasty implemented a recusal system, and locals could not be local officials - of course, it meant that they were big officials. Officials above the county magistrate level must serve as officials in a place 500 miles away from their homes, and there is a term limit. Petty officials and officials do not practice a recusal system, and they are all locals who understand the local people's feelings.

Big officials have mansions, and small officials have self-built houses, so they don't need to rent houses.

Therefore, there are very few people who rent houses, so naturally it will not become a business to do house rental.

Like Lin Liangyou and Yang Fang, one is promoted from the border army to Jinyiwei, and the other is transferred from the county government, and there is no house in the local area, so they naturally need to rent it.

Some people will say, isn't it "a long life, it's not easy"?

Don't forget that it was the Tang Dynasty, wait for a few decades, and look at the Ming Jingshi, whether the house is expensive, and whether the rice is expensive!

The house of Daming at this time is really used to live, not to be sold!

"I'll just say you're so generous, you don't have to pay rent at all." Lin Yanyou said with a smile.

Zhang Ben said: "Hey! I only charge you two 500 wen a month, isn't it enough to be righteous? ”

"Righteousness, righteousness." Lin Liang lobbied, "I didn't say that you weren't righteous!" Now I feel embarrassed to live with you at such a low price. ”

"Don't!" Zhang Ben said, "I knew that if I told you early in the morning that this was my house, and the price was high, I wouldn't want to go; The price is too low, and you will definitely not want to stay. ”

"Yes! How unwillingly? Lin Liang lobbied, "I'm willing to give me a free stay." ”

"Don't let the third brother know, he is a person with a strong temperament, and he must be unsteady if he knows it." Zhang Ben said, "Hey, I'm just too lonely, I live alone in such a big yard, so I'm looking for you to be my companion." ”

"I'm not lonely now." Lin Liang lobbied, "Not only do we have you as a companion, but there are also four great beauties!" ”

"Hey, hey." Zhang Ben grinned, "Second brother, you have to believe in the eldest brother, the eldest brother only has the little sister in his heart, the little sister is Qiu Xiang, and the other women are in my heart, just like Sister Pomegranate." ”

"I don't believe it." Lin Lanyou lowered his head and scrubbed the table, "I think with your taste, what you like is Sister Pomegranate." ”

"Actually...... Pomegranates are indeed good. Zhang Ben also wiped the curtain.

"You're hiding too deeply." Lin Liang lobbied, "Martial arts, houses...... Hide everything from us, I won't trust you anymore. ”

"What you said, my eldest brother is sad!" Zhang Ben said, "In addition to martial arts, do I have anything to hide from you in this house?" And this is not deliberately concealed, it is purely low-key. It's better to be a low-key person! ”

"Anyway, I think you still have something to hide from me."

"Can we still have fun together?"

……

The two lieutenants really reported to Ji Gang that Yangwu Hou got a beautiful Daogu, and they were fully prepared, and they also sneaked into the Hou Mansion and secretly drew a portrait of Daogu and presented it to Ji Gang.

Jinyi Wei Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, among which there are many painting masters, for most of the detective schools, in addition to eavesdropping and tracking and other techniques, painting is also a basic skill.

I think that during the Hongwu period, Song Ne, the prince of the country, went to the court one day, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked him, why was Aiqing unhappy last night?

Song Ne was taken aback at the time.

Emperor Lao Zhu took out a painting, which was the portrait of Song Ne's angry expression last night - presented by the Jinyi Health Inspection School. The painting is so lifelike that I even drew the vegetable leaf between my teeth.

Song Ne: Fortunately, the curtain of the bed tent is thick, and I usually turn off the lights...... Alas, when I go back, I have to tell my eldest wife and concubine that I have to use a screen to block it when I bathe.

The painting skills of this lieutenant under Ji Gang should not be underestimated, and he painted this Daogu vividly and smartly, as if he was about to come out of the painting.

Ji Gang has never been stingy with his praise of women, and the best praise for women is......

"Looks like a fairy." Ji Gang's eyes shone through, "Isn't a real person more beautiful than this?" ”

"Great Kingo, the real person is more than several times more beautiful than this!" The lieutenant said.

But since Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, has already made the first move, he is not good at winning people's love......

The lieutenant is also a person who is not afraid of many things: "Originally, Jiang Hua's people took a fancy to this Daogu first, and when the little ones rushed over, she had been taken away by Xue Lu. ”

Ji Gang was a little unhappy: It has always been me Ji Gang who robbed other people's things!

In the fifth year of Yongle (1407), Empress Xu was called Empress Renxiao...... Zhu Di issued an edict for the national beauty pageant. After the beauties sent from all over the country arrived in Beijing, Ji Gang picked out the stunning beauties and hid them in his own home.

This kid even dares to rob the emperor's woman, let alone a little Yangwu Marquis?!
