Vol 9 Chapter 28: Turui rental experience


Later, some savvy private homeowners ran to discuss with the Ministry of Household Registration, and finally reached an agreement: these homeowners can also put the information of the rental house in the household registration office, which is recommended by the household registration personnel, but the price is subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Commerce The tax must be paid on time and at the same time accept the supervision of the rental house by the construction agency. Although the homeowner paid a certain price, it was naturally endorsed by the public sector of the Kingdom and was favored by those in need. Later, other homeowners had to join Come in, otherwise there will be no business to come, thus making the kingdom's chaotic housing rental market gradually standardized.
Of course, the recommendation of public rental and private rental is a big difference, especially in Turui. Corruption and bribery will inevitably occur, and reports from civil servants will be repeated. This has stirred Davers' anger. Seta supervised in person and arrested a group of household registration officials before suppressing this evil spirit. To this day, this one is still the target of the protection officials.
The reason why the person in the household registration office was glad to see that someone wanted to rent a private house is that once the renting was successful, some homeowners would thank him, such as having a meal, giving a basket of fruit, etc. This is too trivial, and the supervision department hardly manages it.
The household registration staff recommended a better private rental house to him. Massimus only regarded it as a breeze. After all, he was literate, and he already had his own requirements for the rental house. First of all, the area of ​​the house must be large enough because his family had 4 Secondly, the rent is cheaper because his savings are not enough. In the future, he intends to spend most of his money on his children's studies. According to what he knows, he needs at least five or six to become a citizen of Dionia. Years, and during this time children are not eligible to study at the Dionian School, they can only go to privately-built schools. Although the tuition is expensive and the quality is worse, he can never let the child We spend this time in vain.
Massims read all the dense renting information on the wall, locked about five or six targets, and then took 10 Opals and bought a small piece of papyrus (the original price of a piece of paper was less than 10). Opor, but it includes the service fee of the household registration office), copied the above address, and thanked the household registration staff, then went out of the household registration office, took the family, and looked for the homeowner according to the address on the paper.
The first homeowner found was a widow. Her husband was a soldier of the First Army. He died in Latinum. She did not remarry. She took her three children alone and relied on the 30 acres of land in the Subari Plain left by her husband. Their slaves were in charge of farming and renting out their houses.
But when she saw that the renter turned out to be a Roman, she immediately refused to let it out, because her husband died under the spear of the Romans, and she still had resentment about it.
Maximus had no choice but to leave.
The second homeowner he found was a disabled man, but a soldier of the Second Legion. He was seriously injured in the war with the Romans and his feet were cut off. He could see at once that Massimus was a Roman. He was kicked out of the room without giving him a chance to speak at all.
Massim has been to Turui City a few times before, but all hurriedly entered, and hurriedly returned after finishing work. He did not reach the Turui residents as deeply as he did today, this time he was deeply Experiencing the impact of the war on the Turuis, many of them may have a very bad perception of the Romans, which made Massim vigilant.
He managed to find the third homeowner, a middle-aged man. Massimus judged that his left leg was a bit disabled from the awkward posture he was walking, which made him have a bad hunch.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man said, "You must be a Roman!"
Massims was tight-hearted, but also had to say truthfully: "... Yes, I am a Roman. I have just been free and I am going to live in Turui, so I want to rent your house."
The homeowner did not answer directly, but looked at him, and then continued with emotion: "Although many people think that the Romans and Latins are the same race, they look the same, and they are not clear. In fact, the Romans and the Latins are still very different, they are more confident and more imposing.
Five years ago, I was the company captain of the First Corps and participated in a large-scale war. I fought against multiple races. In my memory, the battle with the Romans was the most difficult to fight, later than The Carthages are much harder to hit!
Among them, Ostia ’s defensive battle is still unforgettable to me. I still remember that your Roman army launched an all-out assault on Ostia city, and we managed to fight back one wave and come up another wave ... The following night, the soldiers were too tired to stand up and saw your Roman body lying under the city. At that time, many people thought that you were seriously injured. You should rest on the second day and not attack again. Who knows that on the second day, just after dawn, you blew the bugle of attack, so you attacked for three days!
... My left leg was injured at that time ... I saw some familiar comrades-in-arms who had died in battle. I really thought that I would follow them to Hell. I didn't expect His Majesty to order us to evacuate and burned them. Ostti ... At that time, many of our legions were unwilling! Because this is the first time since the establishment of our first legion in the face of enemy attacks, although it was His Majesty's order ... but we have to admit that if we continue to defend, the first legion is likely to suffer heavy casualties ... ... "
Hearing the host ’s sigh, Massims was silent for a while before whispering: "... I was the squadron leader in the siege team at that time. It was those days of fighting that destroyed our confidence ... causes the final failure ... "
"Fortunately, we all belong to the same kingdom now, and there is no need for war anymore!" The host comforted him and said, "You are here to rent a house, that's OK. How much do you want to rent?"
Massimus had thought that this home wasn't working, but the owner's words surprised him, and he said immediately: "I hope to rent the building in Asinu-near the Amara Arena. 8 drachma rental rooms. "
The homeowner was about to speak, and the servant standing beside him whispered a few words. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Are you living with your wife and two children?"
Massims nodded: "They are waiting outside the door."
The homeowner thought for a while and said, "The top-floor house is cheap and has a large area, but it is wooden and high. It won't block the wind at night, and it will be cold, especially in winter. The child is still young, I ’m afraid that I ’m susceptible to getting sick ... So, it ’s still the same building. There is an empty room on the third floor that has not been rented out. The area is not small. The original rental price was 25 drachmas. Only 13 drachmas per month. What do you think? "
Massims was surprised. He did not immediately accept it, but asked cautiously, "Why do you give such a great benefit to a stranger?"
The homeowner did not feel unhappy because of his hesitation, but instead said: "Because you are a Roman and a Roman who has fought against us, your bravery has won my admiration, and you came to seek me Help, but bravely acknowledged that I was my enemy, this honest behavior makes me more at ease. In addition-- "
The homeowner looked at him carefully, and then said firmly: "You should have been working in a slave camp before. It is logically impossible to be free before the Hades celebration, but if you do, you must be acting very Only when you are good will you get an amnesty! Although I lost a little money, but I can meet a Roman worthy of friendship, I think it is worth it! "
The host's words were frank and Massimus moved. He solemnly saluted and said: "Thank you for your trust. I am willing to rent the three-story room. My name is Massy ... My name is Brutus Ma Simms. "
"Nissidamas, now the head of the village south of the slave camp, I'm glad to meet you." The host also responded in earnest.
Massims is not slightly dissatisfied because the homeowner only said one name ~ EbookFREE.me ~ According to his understanding, many Dionysian citizens were formerly refugees or slaves, and now they are the first As a citizen of the Kingdom of Dionia, they do not want to use the name of their humble father as their last name, but they want to use their first name as the surname of future generations, so they still have only the name but no sex. With the permission of King Daphs.
Jenny Damas had his servants take the Massims to the rental building.
栋 This building is located in Asinu-not far north of the Amara Arena, just off the main road and surrounded by busy traffic, which also makes the housing rent here soar.
This rental building is the most common "back" building in the outer area of ​​Turui. It was first designed by the engineers of the construction department for public rental housing. Because it can maximize the use of space and provide more housing At the same time, it can also take into account business and security, and it will soon be popularized in the densely populated area of ​​Turui.
The main body of this building is made of stone. It is about 13 meters high and has 5 floors. The bottom floor is used for shops and offices. The top 4 floors are housing. The roof can be used for storage. Money is also often used to build wooden lofts on the roof. The center of the zigzag building is an open space, which can ensure that both sides of the floor can be exposed to sunlight and air circulation.
Massimus followed the servants into the building, and at a glance he saw a square pool in the open space in the center of the building. The clear water spouted from the mouth of a statue that may be a Greek deity (Poseidon). The pool was in the middle. There is also another Greek deity statue, this one he is familiar with-the goddess of the Kingdom of Dionia, Hades.
