The intersection here has obviously become larger, the flow of people has increased, the ground is full of horse hoof prints, and the ruts are deep, showing the first glimpse of prosperity.
Song You was sitting under a stall at the intersection, eating wontons. The calico cat was lying next to his bowl, eating a ball of meat filling that Song You bought from the stall owner.
The surroundings were filled with merchants coming and going, and the sound was noisy.
"Have you heard? The fog ghosts in Liangshui Pass have been eliminated."
"real or fake?"
"The news released by the Zhengwei Escort Bureau and the Wushan Tea Merchant are spreading it, saying that that section is safe... The Wushan Tea Merchant has a good reputation, not to mention the Zhengwei Escort Agency who is responsible for this meal. There is no way he can lie!"
"Nanhua County invited an expert again?"
"I heard that's not the case. It seemed that it was a young gentleman who was passing by, and he was easily removed. If there was no movement at all, then the fog ghost is gone."
"Ouch! That's amazing!"
From afar, merchants and merchants were still arriving.
"I don't know what money is either."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
Renting may be cheaper.
There is no way, the urban housing prices in Dayan are not only the highest in the history, but also ten times higher than those in the previous dynasty. The main reason is that Dayan abolished the "equal land system", that is, it no longer allocates land and homesteads to everyone. At the same time,
The development of the commercial economy has promoted population flow, and people have begun to gather in cities. This has led to what may be the first wave of soaring prices in urban housing prices in history.
"Will not be disturbing."
"okay."
These notices are somewhat interesting. Among the wanted people are many martial arts masters and Taoist people. As for those local monsters, Song You took a look and found that the rewards for cutting them off were mostly quite generous, but he wanted to write these on the notices.
The monsters here are not that easy to deal with.
"Sir, have you just arrived in Yidu?"
"deal."
When he turned around, he saw that it was the merchant named Li and his party.
Not long after, the merchant surnamed Li and his party left the city again. On the loess road, amid the faint green hills, a group of figures became smaller and smaller.
"gentlemen!"
"Because we are short of money, we have to disturb him."
The merchant surnamed Li turned around and ran, and led someone not far behind him. He explained as he walked, and when he came to Song You, the two of them bowed again:
"Sir, this is my brother-in-law."
It can be seen that the courtyard used to be relatively delicate, with plum trees and bamboos, but it has been unoccupied for a long time, the weeds are deep, and the bamboo forest behind the house has grown into the courtyard.
Sign the contract and the agreement comes into effect.
Wang Ji did seem to be a down-to-earth person and showed him several houses. However, either the price exceeded Song You's psychological expectations, or the quality of the houses or the surrounding environment really did not meet Song You's needs.
"If you arrive one day early, you'll be gone."
"Even the experts in Tai'an Temple may not have this ability!"
"I don't know what a lack of money is."
"Why do we have to live in a ghost's house?"
In addition to the rental market, there is also the Housekeeping Service, which is a government agency that controls the housing supply, that is, public rental housing.
A few steps further is the city gate.
Secondly, in a while, there will be the largest temple fair in Yizhou, which is held once a year. It is the most lively. Maybe he can see the truly wonderful things in this world that are worthy of his interest, and add some fun to his boring life.
"The Sanhua Empress is the cat god, and the cat god is not afraid of ghosts." The Sanhua cat followed him like a follower, "But this is a ghost's house."
"That would be troublesome."
"Sir, you can go in and check."
"oh……"
Song You also followed Wang Ji into the city.
"The things I use to buy pancakes, steamed pancakes and steamed buns on the road are also the things Sanhua Empress uses to buy meat. Buying a house also costs money. If we use less money to buy a house, we can have more money.
Buy fish and meat to eat.”
In addition, there are many Ya people and idle people waiting here. There is no navigation in this era, so they can provide services such as guides, helpers, and intermediaries. However, there seem to be few Taoist priests among their target customers, or they are afraid that the Taoist priests will not pay, so they will
They were predestined, but they didn't get together with Song You anyway.
Song You sent Wang Ji away.
"tasty."
Inns usually focus on long-stay services, which is convenient, but the price may not be very good.
An hour later.
There were passers-by at the door and Fang Yazi was showing people the house, and they all looked at me strangely. It seemed that there was something wrong.
"If sir had arrived a day earlier, we should have hosted a banquet for him." The merchant surnamed Li felt very regretful, not sure whether it was true or not.
Sanhua Empress seems to understand but not quite.
"I know that there is a house in a clean location, but it is also convenient for buying groceries. It is rumored to be haunted. I have rented it to several families, but the rent was canceled within a few days. I used to quote a thousand dollars a month. If you really have an idea, sir, I will
I’ll take my husband to see the house first, and if I like it, I’ll be doing the owner a favor.”
"Tai'an Temple? Tai'an Temple is famous and well-maintained! How many experts are there in Yidu? Which expert is practicing in the city?"
"The landlord said that if you are willing to rent, you can just say one month in the contract. According to the law, the rent is paid once a month, starting from the sixth day. The first five days are for you to move and clean up the house.
time."
Song You was not very interested in this, but thought about accommodation in Yidu while eating.
Wang Ji was stunned after hearing this and looked at him:
"Don't you mind these houses, sir?"
It will also be cheaper to buy horses and mules at the temple fair.
This yard is located in Beicheng, a relatively valuable road section with prosperous commerce and convenient water access.
Many things surprised Song You.
"Really?"
Song You sucked the hot wontons.
Wang Ji muttered something as if to comfort himself.
"Um."
"The lowest price."
"I'm planning to find someone to rent a house and stay here for a few months."
What should I do if people come to the city to work, officials go to work on the ground, and they come to study in other places to prepare for exams and can't afford to rent a house? You can rent a house for shops and housework.
A military academy stood at the edge of the city to check in and out, and there were notices posted on the walls, which roughly meant a wanted order and a request to find an expert to eliminate the evil spirits somewhere.
I’ve had enough steamed pancakes and buns these days.
Two people and a cat have arrived in front of a small courtyard.
The city gate made of blue bricks is full of pits and pits and is full of the wind and frost of history.
I promised to take Sanhua Empress to taste delicacies from different places, but she didn't even eat meat a few times in a few days. It was really shameful.
"Be polite."
"I will do my best."
Song You didn't care, nodded and stepped into the courtyard gate.
"I'll stay here tomorrow too."
"It's still a thousand a month."
Just when he was about to ask the ghost what to do, he saw Song You turning to face the courtyard, giving a salute, and said calmly: "It is true that housing in Yidu is expensive, and we are short of money, so we will have to live here temporarily in the future.
If there is any inconvenience, please forgive me."
Although he came to a relatively backward era, during these years in the Taoist temple, Song You never treated himself badly in terms of his lust for words. He even found a lot of ingredients that he could not eat in his previous life to make up for the shortcomings in other aspects - doing
If you can’t get chili tomatoes, then get some bear paw salamander.
"That's true. If you want to find an expert, you have to go outside the city."
The cat at his feet also stood up after the man, imitating his example and saluting the merchant named Li.
"plz follow me."
"Sir, you are capable..."
Wang Ji learned that Song You came to Yidu for the first time and rented a house for the first time, so he talked to him about some renting regulations while walking.
A total of twenty coins.
After one bite, the delicious flavor of minced meat and green onions bloomed in his mouth, making him tilt his head up and squint his eyes, feeling a long-lost feeling.
"The villain Wang Ji, I have met Mr.
"I'll leave it to your Excellency."
Song You finished the last wonton, and drank the soup from the bowl. When the calico cat finished the meat filling, he poured the water into his palm, carefully fed the three-flowered empress until she was full, and then paid the bill.
leave.
"Thank you."
"Sanhua Empress, is it delicious?"
Song You had no choice but to use the method his master had said: "I wonder if there are any haunted or unlucky houses in this city?"
Song You saluted him.
The yard is in the middle of an alley. There is a big tree not far from the door. There are stone tables and benches under the big tree for people to enjoy the shade. The red paint on the wooden door has faded and become old. The trees originally planted in the yard have branches and leaves from the top of the courtyard wall.
stretched out.
When did it start? It seems that after I bought it a small fish as a betrothal gift three days ago, it began to occasionally follow Song You's words and deeds.
The clicking sound of unlocking the door had a rustic metallic texture. As he pushed open the door, with a sour sound, the courtyard appeared in front of Song You.
He plans to stay in Yidu for a few months.
Wang Ji said, but he stood at the door.
"Is Sanhua Empress afraid of ghosts?"
Traveling merchants rely on traveling merchants to make money, and the safety of the journey is indeed their biggest concern. Bandits are okay, they only want money, but ghosts are serious.
"I'm going to stay for a while."
"There is a small courtyard behind our tea shop. Although it is a bit crowded, if Mr. wants to stay for a few days, you can make do with it and save some money on rent."
"Please sir, wait a moment!"
Dayan's fangyazi is quite particular, mainly because renting a house and fangyazi in Dayan are strictly controlled by the government. Renting a house must go through fangyazi, and only through the contract of fangyazi can it be recognized by the government, so every fangyazi is a government official.
If it is registered, the commission is also stipulated. The government has even issued many laws to protect the rental market, such as buying and selling without breaking the lease. This idea has been around in this era.
"Suck!"
"There really is! There are more than one set! Some will make you sick and unlucky if you live in them, some will ruin your fortune, and some will be haunted every night. Which one do you want, sir?"
"I was delayed for a few days on the road."
"Suck!"
It was not that I was surprised that there were these things, but that I was surprised that these things already existed. Then I realized that my surprise seemed to come with a sense of superiority and arrogance from a more advanced civilization, but this was really
It shouldn't be, so I couldn't help but fall into reflection.
"I don't think you like it, sir. But Yidu is in a very deep position. I have a brother-in-law who also works in Yidu. He is quite honest. If you need me, sir, I will bring him to see you sir."
"The merchant surnamed Li said with a grin, "When the time comes, I might as well come and visit you sir."
Song You was pacing in the courtyard and turned around to ask:
"What's the price?"
"oops!"
"It's just that I don't have much money."
It looked like he was leaving the city and going back to Wushan.
"That's good."
Like most cities of this era, Yidu has a square and square layout with straight and horizontal roads. It is not easy to get lost, but it is easy to go around in alleys.
"That's true!" The merchant surnamed Li was stunned again, "I wonder how long sir will stay in Yidu? Where will he live?"
Song You walked to the door and was thinking about finding someone to rent a house for him, when he suddenly met an acquaintance.
"This house seems to be really haunted."
Come and stop here to rest, experience the prosperity and culture of Yizhou, the third city in the world, and visit the surrounding famous mountains, palaces and temples.
Sanhua Empress was looking left and right in the courtyard. After entering the new environment, she began to feel uneasy again. She sniffed here and there, seeming to have some insights. Suddenly she turned her head and asked Song You in a low voice: "What are we going to do today?"
Do you live here?"
Then you have to find a place to stay.
At present, the price of a house in Yidu City may start at a thousand dollars, and the rent will naturally skyrocket accordingly.
A bowl of wontons costs ten yuan. The stall owner said that the price of a bowl of wontons will be charged for this ball of meat fillings, but there will be no charge if you eat the wontons.
The merchant surnamed Li quickly returned the gift. When he saw the cat saluting at his feet, he was stunned for a moment and returned the gift again, but he did not dare to ask or neglect:
Those merchants were still discussing him and Wugui.
"..."
The calico cat quickly followed and saluted:
"Please have a good time..."
The courtyard was quiet except for the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboos. It was almost dusk, but the sunlight had not dissipated and was hitting the tiled roof of the courtyard slantingly. The tiles looked like colorful flowers.
Regardless of the weeds in the garden, this is really a beautiful little yard.
