Chapter 755: Living in the capital is not easy (three shifts)

After going through hardships, falling into despair several times, and rekindling hope several times, Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi finally returned to the capital.
The capital city wall is in sight.
Chen Zhuangshi was so excited that he rode his horse wildly.
His riding skills have long been different from what they used to be.
Nearly ten thousand miles back and forth, enough to make him a good enough rider.
It can be said that you can kill the enemy with a knife when you get on a horse, and you can kill with a pen when you dismount.
"Why is Brother Yang not excited? Isn't Brother Yang willing to go back to the capital? The capital is so good, Huahuaworld, every night of the song, a certain has been missing for a long time."
Yang Jisheng is calm and restrained, "Even if he is excited, he doesn't have to show it."
"Brother Yang is too boring, not good, not good. I don't know if anyone came to meet us at the gate of the city."
"There is no need to pick up and drop off, so it saves a lot of trouble and avoids welcoming and sending."
Chen Zhuangshi sneered and said, "Brother Yang can just become a monk!"
Yang Ji said solemnly: "I did have the idea of ​​becoming a monk. However, my mother didn't allow it, so I could only give up. But I gave myself a name."
"What is the law name? Brother Yang said quickly."
"Yuanshan layman."
puff!
Chen Zhuangshi laughed. "Brother Yang and I went to the Western Regions together to witness the alien scenery with my own eyes. My heart was very exciting. Brother Yang clearly had ambitions and ambitions in his heart, otherwise he would not agree to go to Xiliang to do important things. Why are you now in the capital? , Brother Yang is pretending to be a posture, looking like he is incompetent? It really makes me shameless."
Yang Ji's mouth twitched, "You don't understand, I'm not surprised."
Pooh!
High-sounding.
The fart is not surprising.
Just like to pretend to be superior, for others to look up to.
Obviously too tacky, why bother to learn from outsiders.
Chen Zhuangshi drank a sip of sweet potato wine, "has anyone ever said that brother Yang is pretentious?"
Yang Ji glanced at Chen Zhuangshi, "Brother Chen talks too much, shut up quickly!"
Chen Zhuangshi laughed.
Feeling proud of successfully angering Yang Ji.
Yang Ji was speechless.
Chen Zhuangshi is simply a curse.
The city wall is just ahead.
The two dismounted and lined up to enter the city.
"There are so many people, and I don't know how long it will take."
"That's a lot of people. The Nancheng Gate is so crowded. In order to save time, everyone deliberately spared the Nancheng Gate and entered the capital from the West Gate."
A travel merchant chatted with Chen Zhuangshi.
"You two are all foreigners, are you entering Beijing for the first time?"
The traveling merchant looked at the two of them leading the horses, very envious.
Chen Zhuangshi grinned, showing white teeth, "Our two brothers had visited the capital many years ago. After a few years, I didn't expect such a big change. It takes so long to enter the city gate."
Traveling merchants are obviously talking ridiculous, "Nowadays there are more and more people coming to the capital, and it is inevitable to line up. The most hateful thing is that the rents in the capital are rising year by year, and a shack with air leakage on all sides dares to ask for 400 wen a month. It's stealing money.
Can you two want to rent a house? I think both of them are not bad money owners. If you rent a house, don't choose to go to Xinmin County to rent a house. The houses in Xinmin County are all newly built, sturdy, ventilated, and have special bathrooms. And the rent is not expensive. If you are a scholar, it is very convenient to go to Wenqing Bookstore or Shanhe College. "
Speaking of the house, the people who lined up together all joined the group chat and started the chat mode.
Everyone is constantly complaining about the housing prices and rents in the capital.
The Nancheng house was in disrepair for a long time and was in dilapidated condition. A broken house would dare to ask for seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and some even offered a price of one or two silver a month.
absurd!
"What's even more hateful is that someone pretends to be the landlord renting out the house. When the rent is paid, the real landlord comes to the door, and there is a dispute between the two sides. I wait for the renter to get caught in the middle and get angry. Maybe I will be driven out, and the rent will not be returned. "
"My brother-in-law's cousin and brother-in-law's elder brother-in-law worked in Sihai Commercial Bank. He said that the house in Nancheng was very messy. The ancestors bought properties, and several sons were separated, sons and grandsons, and grandsons continued to separate. Several generations have come down, and a good house has been divided into dozens of houses. You have one house, and I have one house. Every family lives under one roof, and they are all handed down from one ancestor. Disputes continue throughout the day. Even the Four Seas Commercial Bank does not want to deal with this group of people."
"I'm waiting for outsiders to rent a house. Don't rent in this chaotic place. It's noisy all day long. It doesn't matter if you don't have peace. I also need to guard against thieves and three aunts and six wives. It's better to rent a room in Xinmin County and have fun. For example, in the second phase of Xinmin County, the renters are all scholars, and they feel a sense of culture everywhere when they walk inside."
"The first phase of Xinmin County is also good, although they are all refugees. However, the families of the refugees are simple, the population is small, and there are few disputes. It is not only cheap but also quiet to live in."
"The migrants in the first phase of Xinmin County are very lucky. I knew there were such benefits, so I gave up my family business to become a migrant. I heard that the migrants bought houses one by one for a few hundred dollars. I can buy one."
"A few hundred yuan is a down payment. The cheapest house costs six or seven taels."
"We rented a house in the capital, and it costs a few hundred yuan a month. After a year, we can buy a house in the same year. It's a pity that I haven't been able to catch up with such good things."
"I heard that the sixth phase of Xinmin County just released a thousand homes yesterday. If anyone has money in their hands, they might as well buy a house with a loan. I heard people say that the houses in Xinmin County give priority to me and other people and give the most preferential treatment. loan."
"If you buy a house and spend money to buy a set of furniture, you can rent it. The rent can offset the loan, and there will be a sum of money left, enough for the family."
"It's really worthwhile to buy a house in Xinmin County."
"It's a pity that I was so shy in my pocket that I couldn't get a deposit of twelve or two."
"Now you can't buy a house for ten taels. For the six-phase house, the down payment has been increased to 15 taels. For the large houses, the down payment is a full thirty taels."
"Thirty taels, I can't save for a few years."
"Yeah! Too expensive."
"There is no thirty-two, fifteen-two, think of a way, there will always be. I tell you, if you miss this village, there is no such shop. In the future, houses in Xinmin County will only become more and more expensive. Don't expect the houses to drop in price. I can still afford it, so hurry up. When I come back to the capital, I will ask my relatives to borrow money. If the borrowing goes well, I will also buy a house."
"The houses in Phase 6 have been sold for thousands of units. I heard that many houses have been rented out, and they are all rented to scholars who come to Beijing. Next year is the year of the imperial examination, and there will be more scholars who need to rent houses. Now Buying a house is just in time for the year of the imperial examination, so there is no need to worry about renting out."
"This is reasonable!"
Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi listened to the small people chatting about capital gossip, and they listened with gusto.
Chen Zhuangshi whispered to Yang Ji: "I didn't expect the houses in Xinmin County to be so popular. Brother Yang, should you consider buying a set in Xinmin County?"
Yang Ji nodded, "I mean it."
Houses in Xinmin County are not expensive as long as they are not with gardens.
A set of several hundred two, it is good to buy it, live in your own family, or rent it out.
The two took a trip to Xiliang, both of whom were not bad at money.
Scholars in Da Zhou are rare in Xiliang. The nobles rushed to invite, give money and things to women.
A set of color-printed hardcover version of "Past Life and Present Life" can be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold in Xiliang King City.
The things of Da Zhou are valuable in Xiliang.
Books are even more valuable.
With the commerce and trade in the past few years, the nobles of Xiliang are very yearning for the Great Zhou culture.
Da Zhou's books are treasures to them.
Yang Ji is worthy of being a schoolmaster.
In Xiliang for a year, while busy planning Wuwang to become a national teacher, he also translated several books. Translation of Da Zhou characters into Xiliang characters, with beautiful words, was favored by Xiliang nobles.
The King of Xiliang once wanted to keep Yang Ji in Xiliang, and he did not hesitate to entice Yang Ji with a high official.
The land of the barbarians in Xiliang certainly couldn't keep the ambitious Yang Ji in his heart.
The King of Xiliang was very sorry to present his daughter and send Yang Ji away.
Yang Ji is now a rich man, a rich man.
Chen Zhuangshi is also not bad for money.
With his mouth, a lot of good things were fooled from the hands of the nobles in Xiliang.
The poor peasant students, now rich and rich, never forget their original intentions.
The team moved slowly, and finally it was their turn.
After checking the road guide and paying the city gate tax, the two successfully entered the capital.
After entering the capital, he paid another health fee.
The capital became more and more prosperous.
The two went directly to the home of Master Shan Changshi in the academy.
At Shijia, the two received the most warm hospitality.
"The old man has sent someone to notify the wife, and the madam will be very pleased to learn that you are back in Beijing. You two will take a two-day rest, then the old man will take you to see your wife."
"Thank you Shan Chang!"
"Sit down, all sit down. Talk to the old man about the customs of Xiliang."
