Zhang Yue went to Bianjing to buy a house. The following question is whether to register in Bianjing.
In the past, Zhang Yue was a student of Imperial College, and his household registration was under the control of the Imperial College. Now when he buys a house in Bianjing, he can change his household registration to Kaifeng Prefecture.
I want to ask if it is difficult to obtain a Bianjing household registration?
Zhang Yue would definitely get it if he changed to the previous generation, but the Bianjing household registration of the Song Dynasty could be taken or not.
First of all, it is not difficult to obtain a Bianjing household registration.
In the Song Dynasty, Bianjing's household registration was very liberal. If a floating guest lived in Bianjing for one year, he could register in Bianjing.
However, in order to take the imperial examination with a Kaifeng official residence, you must have been registered for seven years before being allowed to do so. However, there is no restriction on the children who follow the officials to Bianjing to serve as officials.
Finally, when Fang Ya asked Zhang Yue whether he had naturalized in Bianjing, Zhang Yue refused.
Because he settled in Bianjing, he became a Chengguo household.
If you want to take the imperial examination, rural households have an advantage over urban households.
Although in the imperial examinations, there was no explicit mention of caring for rural households, and even many official households were city households. But being from a city household would always remind the examiner of business and industry.
The Song Dynasty had already relaxed restrictions on the imperial examinations, allowing those in business and industry to take the exams, but discrimination was still a matter of detail.
In addition, there is another problem, that is, you have to pay taxes when you become a Bianjing citizen.
In the Song Dynasty, rural households were divided into five classes, and urban households were divided into ten classes.
Rural households of the third class and above are considered the 'property class'. The so-called property class means they have their own fields and properties.
Zhang Yue's family had previously been reduced from a first-class household to a third-class household because they still had a nearby house, one of which had a tenant.
As for the second-class rural households and above, they are landlords. As for the third-class rural households, they are the same as the second-class rural households.
During the Qingli New Deal, Fan Zhongyan planned to allow households in Hebei to raise horses. Among them, third-class urban households and above, and rural households above second-class were required to raise a war horse that could be worn with armor. The government could purchase it from the private sector during wartime.
However, the urban households in Bianjing are different from those in ordinary prefectures and counties.
The 'property-owning' urban households in Bianjing must be of the fifth class or above.
Don't wait and see, this is related to the people's taxes and services.
Later, Wang Anshi's reform stipulated the exemption law, which stipulated that rural households below the fourth grade and urban households below the sixth grade were exempted from having to pay for service.
But when Zhang Yue went to Bianjing to buy a house, he belonged to the property-owning class. According to the conversion of property in Bianjing, he would become a fifth-class household. Although there was no explicit regulation in the Song Dynasty, the general family property money (household property converted into money) was calculated as more than
A thousand guans are considered to be first-class households in rural areas, second-class or above in county Guo households, and third-class or above in prefecture Guo households.
The price of Zhang Yue's house must be more than one thousand guan.
Once you become a Bianjing citizen, you will be assessed taxes and servitude. Businessmen must pay property tax, and craftsmen must pay business tax. Even scholars like Zhang Yue cannot escape. Those who own homes must pay land tax, which is white land tax.
.
Therefore, Zhang Yue was still a rural householder and bought a house in Bianjing as a resident of the Imperial College.
Song Renzong took good care of the students of the Imperial College. Not only did he allow them to buy a house in Beijing and live in Beijing, he also exempted them from being admitted to the Imperial College.
To the scholars, Song Renzong was certainly a good emperor, but to the common people, he was just a "ten thousand tax" emperor.
When the red deed was obtained, Zhang Yue was filled with emotion. One of his unfulfilled wishes in his previous life was finally fulfilled.
The moment he walked out of the county government office, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout three times: "Get in the car! Get in the car! Get in the car!"
Zhang Fangya didn't know what he meant and thought Zhang Yue had called a carriage.
Fang Ya, who was introduced by Yang, helped Zhang Yue find a tenant very efficiently. The other party was a scholar who came to Beijing to stay in the apartment.
Although there were stores in the Song Dynasty that specialized in renting out state-owned properties, ordinary urban households generally could not rent these houses.
The housekeepers in the shop are all officials who come to Beijing or people with connections.
Therefore, when Ouyang Xiu was an official in his early years, he lamented, "I came to the capital to shelter myself in a house with no disadvantages. There are empty squares and ancient houses, and shabby and shabby villages."
This is already very good. After all, he lives in a public rental house, which is allocated by the court. The rent does not exceed 500 yuan a month at most. Officials often sublet the public rental houses given to them by the court. For this reason, the court also issued a special order
Once officials are found to be behaving in this way, housing qualifications will be revoked immediately.
For example, the two-room "shabby house" in Zhangyue can be rented for three guan per month. In other times, it would be "looting hundreds of dollars a day."
Zhang Yue renovated the house again, added some furniture and appliances, and built another floor upstairs, which was more than enough.
The Bianjing household registration is divided into principal households and clients. The principal household is the person who has property. The clients are the people in Bianjing who have no property and must rent a house. In addition, there are floating guests who have neither property nor Bianjing household registration.
Anyone who rents out a house, that is, the landlord, is called a renter.
As for Bianjing, there are many people who make tens of thousands of dollars by plundering houses every year.
When signing the lease, Zhang Yue learned that the tenant's name was You Yue. You Yue was surprised when he saw Zhang Yue's age and asked, "Are you the head of the household?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Of course."
You Yue couldn't help but look at Zhang Yue, and seemed to ask a few questions about Zhang Yue's details.
Zhang Yue didn't want people to know about his house purchase, so he said that he was studying in Beijing. His elders gave him money to buy a house to live in Bianjing, but he is currently living in the home of a classmate.
Zhang Yue spoke vaguely, and You Yue didn't dare to ask in detail.
Zhang Yue asked him why he rented a house, and You Yue replied: "I failed the exam next year, and I plan to go to the Imperial College next year to try my luck at whether I can get a scholarship to the Chinese Academy of Literature."
The Imperial College issued a quota of 600 candidates for the examination.
In addition to Taipei students who can take the exam, there are also Cantonese students.
To become a Cantonese Cantonese student, you must have the qualifications to take the provincial examination. They are usually students who failed the provincial examination last year and stayed in Beijing.
It's hard for Taipei students, but it's even harder for students from Guangwen Hall. They have no place to live, and no food or clothing. Without support from fellow students, it would be difficult to stay in Beijing. If they fail to pass the exam again, they won't even have the travel expenses to return to their hometown.
In addition, there is another way. The Imperial College will conduct a supervisory examination before issuing the interpretation examination.
The Imperial College tried the Imperial College's internal examination to select some students like You Yue to become Cantonese students.
There are many scholars who have taken this path to their early career, such as the famous Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu ranked first in the Cantonese Language and Literature Examination, the first in the Interpretation Examination of the Imperial College, and the first in the Provincial Examination. He is known as the "three consecutive winners".
Zhang Yue heard that the other party was going to take the Imperial College examination, and he thought that this person might also be a potential competitor in the future. In this case, should he increase his rent from time to time in the future?
You Yue paid the rent for five months in one go. Seeing how neatly You Yue paid the rent, Zhang Yue felt that it would be better not to increase the rent for the time being.
Zhang Yuefangya walked out of the yard and saw the original owner and his wife slowly leaving.
They just moved out of the house today. During the previous mortgage sale, they had asked Zhang Yue to allow them to stay for a few more days. Zhang Yue agreed after seeing that the house sale went so smoothly.
While buying a house, Zhang Yue gradually heard some things about the couple.
They were locals from Bianjing. The man's ancestors had once been prosperous, but his family business gradually declined. The man used to make a living as a craftsman for others, but he was unwilling to live by this alone, so he worked for other eunuchs to make money.
In the Song Dynasty, officials were not allowed to borrow money for interest, but the law was a law, and many officials followed it with a "hehe" attitude. There were also some officials who cared about face and did not come forward themselves, but asked their families to do so.
Those who do it, let others run for them.
This couple acted as guarantees for the officials and gave the money to others, receiving half of the interest.
Half-income interest may not seem like much, but in fact, the monthly interest rate on private loans in the Song Dynasty was as high as 40%, and couples could get 20% profit.
Moreover, there were many unworthy descendants from wealthy families. At that time, people in the Song Dynasty said that there were three kinds of unworthy descendants from wealthy families.
The first class is the locust, which feeds on people selling their ancestral fields. The first class is the silverfish, which feeds on the sellers of books. The third class is the giant insect, which feeds on the sellers of people.
For example, Lu Duan, who was "not confused about big things", did not educate his descendants well. His descendants all mortgaged the mansions passed down by their father to others. Song Zhenzong felt pitiful and spent money to redeem the mansions and return them to the descendants of the Lu family.
The descendants of prime ministers can do this, and ordinary people are forced to sell their houses and fields, and even sell their children and daughters to make money.
These common people fattened up the businessmen who made their fortune by making money.
The couple engaged in moneymaking, which was a risky way to get rich. They made a lot of money at first, but in the end they were too greedy and loaned money to an embroidery businessman. As a result, the businessman ran away with all his money.
In the end, the money was not recovered.
The couple could not deal with the officials behind them, so they had to sell off their property and finally sold the house to the officials to pay off their debts.
Zhang Yue inadvertently witnessed the collapse of a family.
Before, he had never expected that this seemingly honest and honest man would actually be engaged in the job of providing rest for others.
Fang Ya on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Does the scholar know who this couple is lending money for?"
"who?"
Fang Ya whispered: "I heard that in Mr. Han's house, you must not spread any rumors."
Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this and thought, Han Qi is a famous 'virtuous minister', yet he did something like this. However, it seems that lending money is a common custom among scholar-bureaucrats.
It’s no wonder why Han Qi was so opposed to Wang Anshi’s Qingmiao Law in history.
This has cut off the wealth of many powerful people.
Although Zhang Yue thought about this, he was still satisfied with the income from renting out the house. This was a proper income after sleeping, which was called crazy money at the time.
The daily income of the people in the Song Dynasty was only 75 to 100 qian, and the richer people in Bianjing were not like this. For example, the annual salary of a Xiang soldier was about 30 guan, and the annual salary of a forbidden soldier was only 50 guan.
A daily income of one hundred yuan is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person.
Zhang Yue returned to Taixue after finishing his work. When he came to the gate of Taixue, he saw an official squatting under the wall.
Zhang Yue looked carefully and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tang Jiu!"
When the other party heard this, he looked up and saw Zhang Yue. He stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I've seen Mr. Sanlang."
Zhang Yue said: "How could Tang Jiu be like this? So embarrassed?"
Tang Jiu sighed: "Sanlangjun, it's a long story. Tang Jiu is in trouble today, so he shamelessly came to borrow money from you."
Zhang Yue said: "What are you talking about? Let's find a wine shop and have a good chat."
After saying this, Zhang Yue took Tang Jiu to the wine shop and sat down. Zhang Yue first said to the bartender, "Let's get the five-cent wine first."
The bartender listened and laughed and said, "Does Mr. Xiu Cai drink so much?"
Zhang Yue said: "Go if you are told."
The bartender laughed and left.
Zhang Yue said to Tang Jiu: "Tang Jiu, aren't you working as an errand in the metropolitan area? How did you end up in this situation?"
Tang Jiudao: "They all blame me for drinking and causing trouble. After drinking, I slandered the governor for a few times and was kicked out by the governor. I haven't eaten for three days now."
Zhang Yue changed his expression and said, "How can this be so? You were recommended by Mr. Wu Dalang, and the governor dared to take you after eating a bear's heart, and did he not care about the Wu family's face?"
Tang Jiudao: "It was all because of me drinking...that made things happen."
Seeing Tang Jiu's words like this, Zhang Yue asked with a shiver in his heart: "Isn't that right? Could it be that the governor did this deliberately? Tang Jiu, please tell me the truth."
Tang Jiu hesitated for a moment and said: "Although I usually like to drink, I do have a good relationship with the governor. Although I was drunk that day, I was not that drunk. As for verbal conflict, I am used to it. I don't know why that day
There was such a big fire in the capital."
Zhang Yue felt angry in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't blame others. He said: "I will find out about this matter. You can stay here for now, and I will make arrangements for you in a few days."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue took some five or six taels of silver and put it in Tang Jiu's hand and said, "You use this money first."
Tang Jiu accepted the money without any hesitation and said, "Sanlangjun, you don't have to explain it to me. I'll just go back to Jianzhou."
Zhang Yue said: "How can I do that? If I don't help you get rid of the crime of assassinating your concubine, how can you go back to Jianzhou? You live in Bianjing. Don't think too much, I, Zhang San, will have a mouthful of food and I won't let you go hungry.
.”
After settling Tang Jiu, Zhang Yue returned to Taixue.
He knew that Tang Jiu was fired from the metropolitan area, which must be Wu Anshi's intention. It is said that Tang Jiu's job was arranged by Wu Anshi to save face. Now that Tang Jiu has been relieved of his job, there is no way to blame him. And if Wu Anshi really meant it
It's okay to throw dirty water on Tang Jiu and punish him severely.
In this case, it seems that this marriage...this marriage cannot be concluded.
This Wu Anshi is really awesome.
This time I failed in the Yinguan examination.
You must know that even if you are granted an official position, you must pass the imperial examination before being granted an official position. However, the difficulty of the Yin official examination is not the same as that of the Jinshi examination, and it is not even comparable to the examinations of ordinary state and county schools.
The Yinguan examination was conducted in a manner where two people choose one. His younger brother Wu Anchi passed, but Wu Anchi failed and will have to take the exam again next time.
Zhang Yue sighed with emotion when he thought of this. It seemed that he and the Wu family were no longer destined to be together.
Zhang Yue had a few glasses of wine, but he did not dare to drink too much, otherwise he would be so drunk that he would not be able to get in.
After Zhang Yue returned to Taixue, he heard that Ouyang Fa had been waiting for him all afternoon in Taixue.
Zhang Yue wondered what Ouyang Fa was doing here?
So Zhang Yue saw Ouyang Fa and asked doubtfully: "Brother Bohe has really troubled you to wait for a long time. I wonder why you came to me?"
Ouyang Fa saw Zhang Yue and smiled and said, "Sanlang, you really made it easy for me to wait."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Bo He is still so impatient."
Ouyang laughed and said: "Can you not be in a hurry? No more words, just let me go!"
"Why are you so anxious? It's already dark."
Ouyang laughed and said, "Don't I know? What's the point of feeling weak?"
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, almost forgetting that Ouyang Fa was also a student from the Imperial College, so he was really well-educated!
Ouyang Fa couldn't tolerate Zhang Yue's words and pulled him into the mule cart and said with a smile: "Sanlang, there is something good that will affect your life."
Zhang Yue was also speechless for a while. He tried to ask more details, but Ouyang Fa didn't say anything and just kept laughing. Zhang Yue felt nervous in his heart and thought he was going to turn him somewhere.
