Chapter 290 Zhao Shao (zāng) Wu, the house of the Wu family in Sichuan
Wang Chen thought to himself: Does this calculation mean that he needs half of all the money he has now and half a bag of gold nuggets? It feels a little painful. Hey, the money he just exchanged has not been warmed up yet, and half of it will be spent immediately. Hey , who didn’t even have a place to stay when he first arrived in Chengdu?
Wang Chen said with a bitter look on his face: "Seventy copper coins? Can it be cheaper?"
Nazao (zāng) smiled and said: "Hey, among the houses in Chengdu, there are not many good houses like this in prosperous areas. They all sell goods with one "area" less than one "area". The price is still reasonable. Fair enough,
After all, it has always been this price in the past few years. These are prices in troubled times. If you are still hesitating, there are still many people waiting to buy.
I only gave you such a favorable price because you are the steward of Shujin Village. But if you are someone else, I would have to add a few percent more to sell it! Just think about it again."
Wang Shen said: "Let me think about it again."
Zao (zāng) said patiently: "Then you can think about it again."
There is a saying in ancient times: Car and boat dealers should be killed even if they are innocent. Among these industries that were hated by people in ancient times, ancient brokers belong to one of them.
China's real estate brokerage industry has a long history, and its rise can be traced back to a long time ago.
As early as the Song Dynasty, there was a record of "selling land and houses to increase the tax money" ("History of the Song Dynasty", Volume 179, Chapter 132).
According to the records in Volume 18 "Guanshi" of "Tongzhi Tiaoge" of the Yuan Dynasty, there were a large number of people engaged in real estate brokerage activities in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the intermediaries who were engaged in real estate brokerage activities, that is, house purchase and sale negotiations, were called "Fangya" ". This title was used until the Qing Dynasty.
As far back as the Zhou Dynasty 3,000 years ago, the oldest broker appeared in our country. At that time, it was called a "pledger", which was a broker who managed the market and charged a certain fee. "Big things are done with pledge, small things are done with medicine", that is, For all commodities traded in the market, such as slaves, cattle and horses, weapons, rare items, and houses, the pledger must write a deed to both the buyer and the seller.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, professionals who were familiar with land sales laws and transaction contracts were involved in land sales, that is, real estate agents who could actually be recorded.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the earliest group of people who made a living by brokering transactions appeared - zāng 侩. Whether it was land, houses, livestock or carriages, they had to help broker transactions.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the government stipulated that the purchase and sale of houses must be negotiated through "Ya Ren". Brokers who specialized in land and house transactions were called "Zhuangzhai Ya Ren" and were issued licenses similar to those of officials.
The law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that the purchase and sale of real estate must go through an intermediary, otherwise it will be treated as stealing. At that time, Ya people had the function of managing transactions and assisting in tax collection. With the backing of the state, Ya people often engaged in fraud, corruption, and bending the law for personal gain.
During the Yuan Dynasty, according to the records of "Guanshi" in Volume 18 of "Tongzhi Tiaoge" of the Yuan Dynasty, there were a large number of people engaged in real estate brokerage activities in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, people who talked about buying and selling houses were called "Fangya".
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the dental industry was hereditary. At that time, Fang Ya was called Guan Fang Ya or a real estate agent. The government would "give an official sticker" to the business before it could start business. The official sticker was compiled and reviewed every five years.
The government has issued strict official laws. If a person commits fraud, he or she will be sent to jail, which can last up to ten years. The people in Japan have to start to restrain their behavior and do business in a disciplined manner.
Wang Chen thought for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's settle the deal with seventy copper coins." Then he took out the bag full of gold nuggets that he had just exchanged for Sichuan brocade and poured out half of it, which was quite painful. He handed it to the monk and said, "These should be enough, right?"
The monk said happily: "That's enough, that's enough, that's enough. Please follow me and sign a sales contract with the homeowner. After the seller agrees, I can give you the deed of this house. The title deed is obtained,
Then you just need to find some people to clean the house before you can move in. After all, you just saw that the furniture and other things inside are quite complete."
Wang Chen added: "Can I take the liberty to ask who this seller is? If he wants to sell such a good house, it is conceivable that the house the seller lives in must be much better than this house."
Zao (zāng) Shi turned around pretending to be mysterious and said: "Please be patient for a moment. We will know when the few of us arrive."
Then Wang Chen and others followed the zāng monk and boarded the carriage that had brought them here before. The carriage drove for a quarter of an hour before it stopped.
Zao (zāng) smiled and lifted the car curtain and said: "Guys, I'm already here. Please get out of the car and go into the house."
The driver driving the carriage had also stopped the carriage steadily. Wang Chen followed the zāng and got out of the carriage. When he looked up, he saw two tall gate towers in front of the mansion, and there was a piece of wood above the door in the middle of the gate tower. The plaque of Wu Mansion,
Wang Chen secretly thought that the owner of this house was really well-established. The Wu family in Shuzhong was Liu Bei's Empress Wu, the family of Hussar General Wu Ban and Chariot General Wu Yi. Their mansions were built in such a grand manner, no wonder they would take action. The house I just fell in love with,
Wu Yi was originally from Chenliu County, Yanzhou, and his uncle Wu Kuang was an official of He Jin, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Yan moved to Yizhou as a shepherd. Because his father had a good relationship with Liu Yan, Wu Yi took his whole family to Shu with Liu Yan.
Later, Liu Yan had the idea of proclaiming himself emperor. People who were good at fortune-telling also said that Wu Yi's sister Wu would have a very noble status in the future, so he asked his son Liu Mao, who had followed him to Shu, to marry the Wu family.
In the 17th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led his troops to attack Liu Zhang and occupied Fucheng in Guanghan County.
In the 18th year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang sent Wu Yi, who was then Zhonglang General, and Liu Zhang's generals Zhang Ren, Liu Wei, Leng Bao, Deng Xian and others to lead troops to fight Liu Bei's army in the Fujian area, but they were all defeated by Liu Bei. He retreated to Mianzhu. Wu Yi led his army to surrender to Liu Bei and was appointed as the general against rebellion.
In the summer of the 19th year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, worshiped Wu Yi as his army guard, and married Wu Yi's sister Wu, who was a widow at the time, as his wife.
In the first year of Zhangwu (221), Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and established the Shu Han Dynasty. Wu Yi was promoted to the governor of Guanzhong. Now he is considered a relatively prominent family in Shu.
The Zhao (zāng) servant came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door creaked open a crack, just enough for a head to poke out. An old servant poked his head out and said, "It turns out to be Zhao Zao."
(zāng) Oh, did you help the master of the house take action?"
Zhao Shao nodded in response, pointed at Wang Shen and others behind him and said: "Fortunately, they are the ones who want to buy it."
The old servant replied: "I will report to the master right now."
Zhao Shao (zāng) clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Wu, in charge."
After another cup of tea, the old servant came to welcome Wang Shen and others into the mansion. The old servant opened the door and said with a smile: "Please, my master has agreed to see you."
