Chapter 37 Housing prices are as fierce as tigers

The hour of the heaven is about to be You.

There are traffic on Maxing Street and people walking in a tide, most of them heading towards Anyuanmen.

Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu each rode a taxi donkey (the sharing economy of the Northern Song Dynasty could rent a donkey for a day for a few dozen cents), and followed the crowds of people and horses to the north.

They headed to the north wing of Kaifeng Prefecture City. Kaifeng Prefecture City was divided into two counties and eight wings, two counties were Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County, and the eight wings were located in the inner city on the left side, two wings, one wings, two wings, and the north wings, west wings, east wings and south wings of the outer city on the outer city.

Among them, the right side and the west side of the city are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles, and the palace is also located in the right side.

The second wing on the right, the first wing on the left, the second wing on the left, the east wing on the city and the south wing on the city are all places where industrial and commercial people gather. The first Tianshui Lane where Wuhaogu lives and the Wujia Huazhai on Panlou Street are both located in the second wing on the left.

In the northeast of the north wing of Kaifeng, there is the place with the most families of imperial guards and middle and lower-class officers and soldiers. It is also a settlement area for the working class in Kaifeng Prefecture.

That's right, it's the working class, not the military class.

Because most of the troops who were not in charge (even if they were not reorganized according to the "Article of Generals and Military", and still maintained that Wang Anshi's general was unaware of the state of military affairs before the reform, most of the imperial guards stationed in Kaifeng Prefecture were not in charge). The imperial guards were pretending, and the officers and soldiers were basically not trained, and they could only barely behave in a fancy manner when they were on duty or in an emergency.

On weekdays, most of the "elite" of the imperial guards who are not generals are busy with their lives. The middle and upper-level generals are either engaged in art or business, while the lower-level soldiers and those poor miscellaneous military officials either do some small business or sell their labor, and some bully the market and become rascals...

Zhao Tieniu, who was rampant on Panlou Street and Guo Jing, who followed Wu Haogu, were all lower-class officers and soldiers living in the north wing of the city.

The future "Taiwei", Gao Qiu, the current minor official of the Prince Consort's Mansion, originally lived in the north wing of Kaifeng City.

As the crowds left Anyuanmen, Wu Haogu immediately felt a little different.

Speaking of which, this time it was the first time since he had passed away the prosperous and beautiful inner city of Kaifeng.

Although the inner city of Kaifeng is crowded, it can smell a rich atmosphere everywhere. Most pedestrians wear decent clothes and have some spare money in their pockets. The teahouses and restaurants along the street are decorated in exquisite and luxurious manner, and you don’t need to hear the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo until night.

In the eleventh century world, Kaifeng inner city can definitely be regarded as a paradise.

Even compared to the era in which Wu Haogu's previous life, the prosperity of Kaifeng's inner city can catch up with the central area of ​​first-tier cities.

However, outside Anyuan Gate, there was a different scene.

It’s not that there are few people here, but that there are dilapidated everywhere.

Most of the houses look low and dilapidated. Although Xinfengqiumen Street connected to Maqian Street is wide on the side of Maqian Street, there are no very gorgeous and tall shops on the side of the street. Only Zhoubei Wazi, which is not too far from Anyuanmen, looks tall and decent.

This tile is a little different from the many tile in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture. Outside the tile gate, there is a tile offering platform that can be viewed for free without spending money.

When Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu passed by, they were on the stage and rushed to the front, attracting many men from the inner city, stopping and watching, and cheering from time to time.

Wu Dalang was attracted by the excitement and turned his head to look at it. However, he saw two women with naked upper bodies and two soft bodies swaying on their chests from afar, fighting fiercely!

"It's a girl who doesn't wear clothes to pounce on her," Gao Qiu smiled. "There were some in the inner city in the early years, but later Sima Xianggong wrote a book and banned it. Now only the tiles in the outer city are, and the best one is the tiles in the north of the province."

Sima Xianggong was Sima Guang. During the Renzong Dynasty, he submitted a memorial "On the Sumo Wrestling of the Shangyuan Ling Women", which banned the "Women's Sumo Wrestling" movement that was popular among the people in the inner city of Kaifeng.

However, the outer city of Kaifeng, especially the wazi in the north wing of the city, ignored this and continued to perform the female pounce on her own.

It was just that it was not performed during the day, and it was only after dusk that it was staged, attracting the attention of a group of hard-working men of the imperial guards who had been working.

Wu Haogu had seen too many beautiful women in his previous life, and had seen them even more exciting than this, so he took a look back.

"The men in the north wing of the city are poor," Gao Qiu said to Wu Haogu while riding a donkey, "There are so many good-natured children who can't afford to marry a wife, so they can only enjoy the pleasure of going to the north tiles of the province. Even the husband in the court is not able to take their hobbies. Otherwise, the husband will not be able to bear it."

"That's all called the house to make trouble..." Wu Haogu blurted out and smiled bitterly halfway through his words.

The city he lived in in his previous life was famous for its high housing prices. As a "someone drifter", he could only sigh in his heart.

In this life, in Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, I also saw that the price of the Great Song Dynasty was as fierce as a tiger.

It is not easy to live in Kaifeng.

Any dilapidated yard can cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan!

If it is the big house on the right side and the east side of the city, it is difficult to buy even if it is a million pieces.

Nowadays, the wages in Kaifeng City are only one to five yuan per month. Buying a house is an unattainable dream for the poor people crammed in the north of Kaifeng City. Although the official family set up a store and housekeeping service decades ago, it was a pity that there were too many monks and too little porridge (there were only more than one thousand low-rent housing in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture City), which was meaningless to most people.

As for the military-owned imperial guards and generals of Kaifeng Prefecture, the housing of their own and their families is theoretically not a problem, because the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards allowed their families to stay with the army. Many streets and alleys near the northern Wazi area of ​​Zhoubei were originally military camps. But there were too many families and civilians living in it, which looked no different from ordinary markets.

However, the number of the Kaifeng Imperial Army was limited, and it was cut during the Xining Reform period, and there was still a large vacancy. In other words, the number of the Kaifeng Imperial Army has been decreasing in the past few decades.

However, the number of "***", "Three Army Generations" and "N Army Generations" continues to increase!

As a result, most of the "N-generation Army" were unable to find a membership in the imperial guards and became unprotected civilians. Most of them did not move out of the original camp, and the north wing of the imperial guards was transformed into a crowded and slum.

At the same time, those "N-generation military generations" who could not obtain the imperial guards' organization are still the burden of the lower-level soldiers and generals with military status... No one can only care about themselves, regardless of their brothers, right? Now it is the Song Dynasty with relatively close family relations!

So we can't blame the Kaifeng Imperial Army for not having the heart to train troops and fight.

Just the little military pay paid by the Song Dynasty officials can at most take care of their own food and drinks with their close relatives. If you don’t find another job to make money, let alone helping your brothers, it’s a big problem to get married and start a family and start a business... Not to mention buying a house in Kaifeng Prefecture, you should always rent a slightly larger house if you want to get married and have children?

Wu Haogu himself seemed to be about to go from a rich second-generation with a house and a shop to a houseless household... I don’t know if Pan Qiaolian is willing to marry her then? If she is willing to marry, it must be true love!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled bitterly again, turned to Gao Qiu and said, "Brother Gao Qiu, let's go find my brother Guo San and Liu Xiaoyi first."

"Okay," Gao Qiu smiled, "Where do they live?"

"They live in the north wing of Zuoying. Brother Guo San has two rooms there. Liu Xiaoyi lives with him," Wu Haogu thought for a while and said, "It should be soaking in Yihongyuan now."

"Yihongyuan?" Gao Qiu looked at Wu Haogu with a smirk, "Dalang, that's a ecstatic place!"

...

Near Wazi, Zuoxiang Laoying Street, Yihong Pavilion.

Guo Jing was now wearing his clothes open, with thick black hair exposed on his chest, and a nearly half-naked sister was lying in his arms, drinking wildly with Liu Wuji.

There was a mess of cups and plates on the table, and I don’t know how much wine I ate.

Liu Wuji was already drunk and lay in the arms of a half-old sister. She was already a little flirty. Her paws that looked a little white and tender were pinching an exposed "big papaya" with her expression very intoxicated.

"Brother Third, Xiao Yi, I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Dream? What kind of dream?"

"Isn't this a dream when drinking in Yihong Courtyard every day?

Listening to Liu Wuji's drunken words, Guo Jing picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He hugged the sister in his arms, kissed her fiercely, and then laughed and said, "Where has it been? After meeting Wu Dalang, the noble man, our brothers have a long time to live!"

"Third Brother, I heard you talk about Wu Dalang every day these days. Who is he?"

The older sister who was holding Liu Wuji suddenly spoke, with a little envy and expectation in her tone.

Guo Sanlang smiled and said, "Yan Po'er, how many young girls do you want to eat? Do you think everyone likes old people as much as Liu Xiaoyi? Tell you, the eldest brother of the Wu family is a decent person and will not come to you, a broken kiln who sells meat.

What people like is the daughter of the master’s family…”

It turned out that the sister who was stuck with Liu Wuji was the madam from Yihongyuan, whose surname was Yan and known as Yan Po'er. She was also popular when she was young, but she didn't seize the opportunity to find a good family.

When he was old, he found this meat-selling kiln in the north of Kaifeng City and started as a madam. He usually doesn't pick up customers, but likes to attract young men.

Liu Wuji, a fake Taoist priest, has a good reputation. He has read some books and is very close to her appetite. He has sex with her and gives her body from time to time...

"What's so great about the daughter of the master?" Yan Po'er smiled, "I was so popular when I was a popular man, even my husband had slept.

Third brother, why don’t you introduce the official from Wuda to Nu, and let him go to Le Shangtian.”

"You woman are talking nonsense again!"

Before Yan Po'er finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the door.

"Who? Who is not open to my eyes and goes to my territory..."

Yan Po'er was just halfway through the scolding, and saw Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu walking in one after another.

"Oh, Gao Daguan, Nu Nu has offended him, he should be beaten..." Yan Po'er recognized Gao Qiu and gently helped Liu Wuji on the rose chair, and moved his lotus steps forward to meet him.
