0964 The gate of the king's residence is high, and the vulgar is difficult to enter
Xinchangfang is located on the Leyouyuan in the east of Chang'an City. Due to the terrain, it has always been a yard area where noble families in the city live.
In the early years of Kaiyuan, the court issued a new "House Stable Style" to manage the transaction and residence of gardens and stables in Chang'an City. In addition, Pingyang Gong Wu Youyi, the emperor and ministers who were not afraid of the powerful and powerful, strictly enforced it, which greatly restrained the style of occupying land and building gardens in Chang'an City.
But no matter how strict the regulations are, there are always convenient methods. There are always some people who can do everything possible to transcend the rules. After the implementation of the "House Stable Style", they have gradually been explored by Shiliu to find some tricks and still build a large-scale garden house in the city. The cost is only higher, but for the nobles who can truly enjoy these, the cost is undoubtedly not a question that needs to be considered.
The Leyouyuan Zhufang is located on the high slopes of the east side of the city, so you can enjoy the scenery of Chang'an. Moreover, since a water supply system covering the houses was built in the city, the source was several lakes on the Leyouyuan, which also made it more livable. Even if the water vapor evaporates in midsummer, it still remains moist and cool.
Located in the northeast corner of the original Lingyan Temple in Xinchangfang, a garden covering an area of more than ten acres rose up, and everything from the inside to the outside is new. Today, the hosts in the garden are full of guests, and there are constant carriages loaded with wine and ingredients to transport them into the garden, and the atmosphere in the garden is also very lively.
"I remember that the owner of this park is Hu Shang He Biyan. Hu Nu entered Beijing in the second year of Kaiyuan. I don't expect that in just two years, he has such a vast presence in the capital!"
Several visitors were wandering around the park, looking at the crowd entering and leaving the park, one of them couldn't help but sigh. Several of them felt that they were in the market, but after entering the park, they found that there were many visitors who were even more amazing than them, and even a few of them couldn't get close to the main hall building in the park, and could only wander around the periphery.
Although it could not squeeze into the core of the visitors, the outside entertainment was also comprehensive, and servants kept holding food trays and wandering around, allowing visitors to enjoy the wine and food on the plate.
After hearing this, another person smiled and said, "Although Hu'er is ugly, he is rich. The site was previously used for land in the back of Lingyan Temple. The temple was vast and the tax was heavy, so it was sold. The temple slaves separated ten households and divided the mansions. Only when the land was delivered clearly at the beginning and end, Hu's slaves would have to take out at least tens of thousands of dollars!"
When everyone around him heard the inside story of the house transaction, they couldn't help but gasp. "House Stable Style" has extremely strict regulations on the area of houses for residents. In order to build a wider area, some large households have figured out the tricks of households to collect on behalf of others, and used rentals to piece together large pieces of house land to build a garden industry.
Such a lease requires filing with the Stable Bureau. In addition to paying a considerable amount of tax, the owner of the garden also has to pay a rent every year, and the Stable Bureau transfers the original head of the house to the land. After some turnaround, it is also very expensive to maintain a garden industry that exceeds the regulations.
For example, the garden industry in front of us does not consider the construction cost, the land price alone will reach tens of thousands of yuan, and the other expenses will cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan each year.
"These Hu'er Haokes are really rich!"
After a quick plan in his heart, a visitor couldn't help but sigh and laughed, "This stable style is clearly a killing order!"
Hearing this, the few people around couldn't help laughing. Since the stables, the living conditions of the local people in Chang'an have been basically guaranteed. As long as they are not prodigal sons with a lot of money, they will basically not take advantage of the opportunity to build gardens and enjoy themselves.
When people from other states enter Beijing, they can also rent a temple in the capital through officials in the capital through their own states, so as not to worry about not having a place to live. As for the Fanhus in the capital, it is not that easy.
Although there are many guest houses and residences in the Beijing yard for outsiders to live in, most of the Hu people who entered Beijing are merchants, so they need a means to demonstrate their financial resources to gain face and respect in order to make the transaction smooth.
Therefore, in Beijing, it is the best choice for those who are doing everything possible to build a residence at all costs. The high cost brought by the downward order of "House Stable Style" has become the admission permit for them to quickly enter the Beijing commercial and social circles.
After entering Beijing, you will pay a large amount of property purchase money first, so that you can gain a foothold in Chang'an. This will also bring a new trend to Chang'an's business. In previous years, these Hu merchants traveled around to the precious residences and promoted goods, but now transactions often have to be carried out in Hu merchants. If you don't even have a garden, then you will just be a small character that is not worth mentioning.
Originally, the powerful and wealthy families in Chang'an were quite resistant to the overly harsh "House Stable Style", but after several years, they realized that this homestead style was not essentially intended to squeeze the people of Chang'an, but to select fat sheep for Chang'an City!
The reason is also very simple. Although those Hu merchants have a lot of money, they are not boys who spend money. They have paid such a big price to enter the market, of course they will not just do a one-time transaction. They need to conduct long-term trades to gradually recover their costs.
Chang'an City can deal with these Hu merchants with less worries and no longer have to worry about choosing a partner. Focus on Hu merchants with industries in the capital to buy and sell with confidence. Even if Hu merchants commit fraud, they can still run away from the monks and cannot run away from the temple.
When the few people in the corner saw that Hu Shang He Bi had good financial resources, they had already started to think about how to make a fortune with this line. A young man dressed up next to him walked by, but couldn't help but sneer: "I went to the temple but went to worship the Buddha in the wrong way, and I wanted to get some reward! It's ridiculous. A mere Hu's son deserves to be seen by all the distinguished guests?"
Several people secretly discussed being heard and ridiculed, and were immediately embarrassed and annoyed. They saw that the young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and the rich slave behind him was also good. They could only suppress it. After the young man entered the park, they spat. Then one of them said with confusion: "Isn't the owner of this park He Biyan? But he had already collected the land and asked me to protect the fangfang..."
"Let's ask carefully. That man just now doesn't seem to be lying..."
Several idle people couldn't even enter the main hall where guests were hospitalized, so the faces of the people were naturally not wide. After they dispersed, they asked each other and asked again. When they gathered, one of them had already had a serious face and said in a low voice: "It's not He Biyan, that Hu'er built a good garden business, but gave it to the noble man! Who do you think it is?"
"This Hu'er is such a big deal!"
Everyone was surprised that Hu Shang was generous. After waiting for the man to keep him in a silence, he vomited out "Bea King", but he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The noble son of the Zong family is so frugal, and it's shameful to share with the humble Hu Er!"
Not to mention the discussions of idle people outside, the Neptune, who was receiving guests in the hall, had a smile on his face, pointed at a Hu Shang standing on his side with a respectful face and said with a smile: "He Hu'er entered the consul of our mansion and was in the future to travel and socialize in Beijing. Don't keep him out of the door!"
There were guests in the spacious central hall, and dozens of guests each had their own seats. When they heard the words of King Beihai, their expressions might be different, but they generally agreed with laughter.
Since Emperor Gaozong, he has been abolishing the officials of the royal palace. By the Kaiyuan period, this force has become even greater. The court only sent it to the chief minister, Sima and the marriage office to protect their lives, and the rest have been removed.
However, the affairs of such a large royal palace are very diverse, so the kings often recruit their own assistants, but these assistants only serve in the royal palace, and the court does not recognize their official identities.
As for recruiting Hu merchants as assistants in the mansion, this is a tradition. Many royal family members have large expenses but not much investment, so they often call on merchants who are good at doing business and making profits as their customers to subsidize their expenses.
Hu Shang was still waiting to get familiar with everyone by taking advantage of the introduction of King Beihai. Before he entered the front ceremony, he was toasted by a young man in the front seat and sneered: "The king likes Hu Tan, and is so close to him, it is difficult for others to argue. But today we gather in this hall for the sake of the elegant interest of appreciation, not to congratulate you Hu Nu!"
The young man's tone is quite rude, but there are many people in the hall. After all, they are young and vigorous, and they do not have a strong sense of hierarchy. Moreover, even in terms of origin, there are a few people in the hall who are not as good as the King of Beihai, and they are impatient to deal with a Hu Shang introduced by King of Beihai.
King Beihai was displeased when he was confronted in person in person. However, after thinking of his third brother's advice, he suppressed his anger and raised his hand to turn off the Hu Shang, who looked panicked and embarrassed, and then squeezed out a smile and said, "Since you are eager to gambling, then you can remove the mess and show your skills!"
The hall was in a chaotic moment, and many spectators who did not participate in the appreciation of Saibao were invited out of the hall and were only allowed to watch outside the hall.
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were already fighting and competitive. With the holding of several World Expo, this trend of appreciation and wonder spread among the nobles. A few days ago, King Beihai had spoken out on various occasions to receive a few rare objects, which naturally aroused the curiosity and resentment of many playboys, so today's treasure tournament was created.
A space was cleared out in the hall, and a long case was placed horizontally. The dandy attending the meeting instructed the slaves to set up the treasures they brought. As the owner, King Beihai was constantly appreciating and commenting. The spectators outside the hall also looked inward, constantly amazed by a rare item.
Half of the treasures in the hall were exhibited, the winners were smiling, while the losers were covered in dust. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to be set off, King Beihai planned to present his treasures and prepare to win a lot of treasures.
But before he could speak, an uproar suddenly sounded outside the hall. King Beihai's face changed suddenly, and he paused and shouted: "Why do you go back..."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd blocking the door of the central hall was pushed away brutally. An old man in a green robe held a horse whip and led several strong servants into the hall. He bowed to the King of Beihai with an angry face and said, "The servants who are walking under the door of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat are disturbing the king's Yaxing. Please forgive me."
King Beihai was full of anger. When he heard the old servant report to his house, his face suddenly became angry and then he smiled and said, "It turns out that he is under the disciple of Guardian Yao. Why? Is Guardian Yao also interested in the plays of young generation Shi Liu?"
The old servant of Yao family smiled apologized and glanced at her own Alang Yao Yi, who was standing on the side of the hall with his head curled. He stepped forward and said, "My husband has returned to the residence. Please ask Alang to go home with the old servant."
Yao Yi was beaten up in the first round of Saibao, and was unhappy. Seeing the old servant coming, he felt even more ashamed and annoyed. He glared and waved his hand: "I am having fun with my friends, why are you doing Aye? Get out, you old slave, don't disturb your interest!"
"Yao Da, let's go! You're just joining here. Since Prince Yao summoned him, go home quickly and don't implicate us and be scolded by our elders..."
Although the playboys were unhappy, they knew the prestige of Yao Yuanchong, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and did not dare to take on the responsibility of seducing his son to play in a wasteland, and they all spoke out their advice.
But this did not expect that Yao Yi's rebellion would be further aroused, and he took a step forward and pushed his old servant.
Seeing this, the old servant sighed inwardly, waved his hand behind him and said, "Catch Alang!"
Naturally, he didn't dare to really go forward and beat him, but just whispered to Yao Yi, who had been held by his servants: "Alang, the Lord is really angry. If he is willful, the old servant will be afraid..."
"I won't leave, I won't... You evil slave, really dare..."
Bang!
With a crisp sound of whip, the old servant raised the whip that had been whipped in front of Yao Yi. For a moment, not only Yao Yi, who was whipped, but even the others in the hall were stunned.
"Diaolu stops and dares to commit humiliation in my family!"
Seeing this, King Beihai suddenly became angry and pointed at the old servant of Yao and cursed: "Yao Da entered my hall and was my distinguished guest. If Mr. Yao wanted to discipline her husband, he would take care of himself after the banquet, but today, he would not allow evil slaves to be arrogant in this hall! Is it so unbearable to be a guest in Yao's eyes?"
When the old slave heard this scolding, he took back his whip and bowed deeply to the King of Beihai, but did not explain any more. He stood up and looked at Yao Yi and asked, "Will Alang be willing to do it?"
"I, I..."
Yao Yi was extremely embarrassed and ate, and saw that the old servant raised the whip again, and said hurriedly: "Let's go! Let's go home... I, what kind of face do I have to make friends in Beijing..."
The master and servant of the Yao family came and went quickly. Although King Beihai was furious, he still did not dare to stop him. After this farce, half of the dozens of playboys who were originally interested in the hall slipped away while the people were not paying attention and did not dare to stay any longer.
Seeing that a party was about to end in a bad mood, Neptune remembered the purpose of today's banquet, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, but before he could speak, someone hurried into the hall to interrupt his speech.
However, this time it was not that some evil servants from the wealthy family came here to disappoint the good news, but that the servants of the royal palace entered the prequel to tell the King of Linzi that they had received the honor of Guanglu Shaoqing.
"This is a great joy, a great joy!"
When King Beihai heard this, he smiled and clapped his hands and said, "I have a happy family. I want to return to my residence to congratulate my third brother. Today's banquet ends here, and I will meet again next day!"
When the others in the hall learned that the Linzi King was promoted to the fourth rank, they were surprised and came up to congratulate him. Several people repeatedly expressed their desire to go to the palace with King Beihai to congratulate the Linzi King in person.
Hearing everyone's words, King Beihai showed a little hesitation on his face. Their brothers didn't want the guests in the palace to be mixed, so he came forward to arrange the banquet in the garden given by Hu Shang. If he agreed rashly, he would be afraid that the third brother would be unhappy.
After thinking about it, he summoned Hu Shang, who had just been detained, and asked him to entertain the guests in the hall with great enthusiasm, and repeatedly promised another banquet to go out and leave in a hurry.
"Ha, the gate of the royal residence is high, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter!"
Seeing that King Beihai left from the bottom of the royal guards, some of the playboys who stayed in the hall suddenly felt bored. Some of them felt that their family background was not bad and even kicked away the wine and food offered by Hu Shang diligently and left sneered: "Before the purple robe is exposed, you have such a family style!"
Neptune ignored the complaints of the guests and rode his horse all the way back to Chengbeifang residence before the curfew.
"Sanlang, congratulations!"
After entering the hall, King Beihai laughed loudly, and the Linzi King, who was sitting in the hall chatting with some guests, saw his brother returning to the residence, and a little surprised smile appeared on his face: "Since my second brother is back home, I want the party on this day to go smoothly?"
After hearing this, King Beihai looked at his face and then waved his hand and said, "Let me talk later, why can you have a great deal of great importance to you? Will you enter the provincial government tomorrow morning? Then we brothers will be together, the saint will be kind to you, Saburo, you should take the lead. I think I and Silang will definitely use it later?"
Several guests in the hall had come to congratulate him. Seeing that the second brother was too explicit, the King of Linzi coughed and stood up to meet the elder brother. He pressed his wrist to tell him not to say much. After returning to the table, he smiled at the two Southern Provincial officials who entered the palace and said, "You don't need to enter the palace again tomorrow morning. After Longji Dynasty came to the provincial center, he went to the provincial center."
After hearing this, two officials from the Southern Province stood up and said goodbye. The brothers of Linzi Wang presented them to the hall.
On this night, the Linzi Palace held a banquet and hosted several relatives and friends who came to congratulate him after hearing the news. Because the Linzi Palace would enter the court tomorrow morning, there was no celebration all night long. After the guests and hosts were happy, the banquet was parted.
King Beihai kept suppressing his visitors, and after returning to the palace, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Sanlang is the best, and our brothers finally have a foothold in this court. Since the saint gives this kindness, I and Shilang don't have to be trapped in Xiansi, so you can be Saburo's strong arms!"
During this period, the three brothers, the Secretariat's works only served as the King of Linzi, also had some personnel exchanges. As for King Beihai and King Anping, they only served as the famous general of the Nanya Lang. The Beijing Camp was reorganized, and the Nanya Guards no longer led their troops. Even if they wanted to go to work with peace of mind, they could not find the Yashi.
If you have a job or not, it is a pleasure to receive a free salary for ordinary playboys, but for the brothers who are eager to get a sense of existence, they are a little worried. I heard that Li Longji has received many praises from Shi Liu, and the remaining two brothers also want to receive such treatment, hoping to promote their official positions as the trend.
"My brothers and relatives and nobles have their own family and family, and they all have their own family food, their official qualities, and they are just a vain. Don't worry too much."
Looking at the two brothers full of expectations, Li Longji just waved his hand and said.
King Li Longfan of Anping sighed and said, "Third brother, you have already climbed the heights. How can you understand the sadness of us vulgar people who work. You are not worthy of being in and out, and you have no authority in your hands..."
After hearing this, King Beihai nodded repeatedly: "That's the truth! If I could stand in front of the court, how could Wei, who was in a declining family, dared to insult me easily!" He was still worried about Wei's remorse for the recent remorse.
"I am also a little confused at the moment when the saint suddenly falls. After entering the court tomorrow, I will explore the inside story of the people and things!"
Seeing that both brothers expressed their opinions, Li Longji comforted him casually, and then said to his brother: "The day before yesterday, Wei asked for a meeting, brother, you just don't respond. Now it seems that you should not be tempted. After I enter the company, I will have to meet him at my leisure."
"I'm not seeing you!"
After hearing this, King Beihai shook his head and said angrily: "His family broke the contract before, which has made me laughed at! Now that he has been sanctioned by the saint, he knows that there is no hope of chasing high people, he has returned to beg him. No matter how outstanding his woman is, I will never be included in the family!"
"It's not easy for my brother to accumulate power. Brother, why bother to be strong! Although Wei's family has declined, they still have old friendships. It's rare for my brother to invite this arm to help, so you must never break it off!"
Seeing that his brother was so stubborn, Li Longji immediately pulled down his face and said in a deep voice.
Seeing that his brother was silent, he pondered for a moment and bypassed the topic, and said, "What is the harvest of my brother's harvest today? After Qinghai recovers, the Longxi business road will be open, and there will be no obstacles in the entry and exit of foreign goods. At present, there are still many Hu merchants in Beijing who are waiting to go out. We can take this opportunity to help them clear the tail of their positions, and also accumulate some savings and living money for themselves to use. In a few months, the prices in the Bank of Beijing will be very different. They are now in a very difficult situation!"
"When talking about this, I was even more angry! Yao Yuanchong's power traitor is really fierce, and he completely ignored my dignity..."
King Beihai angrily talked about what happened during his garden tour today.
"Good Master Yao, why... say slowly and talk carefully!"
Chapter completed!
