My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

The so-called shop and house affairs refer to the relevant housing management agencies specially established by the government in the Song Dynasty for social stability. In the words of later generations, they are in charge of low-rent housing, which is called public rental housing at this time.At this time, in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of people flooded into the city, which led to a boom in the housing rental market. For the sake of social stability and development, the country gave civilians a place to settle down.

Public rental housing is aimed at the "sandwich class" who have a certain financial ability but cannot afford to buy a house.However, with the rapid rise in prices in recent years, even some officials have begun to rent houses.

Lu Laoliu led Ye An's master and servant around, and finally hesitated in two places.

A daily rent of [-] Wen, two rooms, no kitchen.A bit like a modern youth apartment, the location is good, just across the street from Guozijian.

The other is twice as expensive as it, with five rooms and a small courtyard, but it is far from the Imperial College, near the Kaifeng government office.

After thinking about it, Ye An finally decided to rent the second one, which is farther away, but it is always safer near the government office. He and Yuan Bao are both foreigners, and they are young, so it is better to be careful in everything.

As for money, Ye An firmly believes that money is earned, not saved, so if he has that spare time, he might as well investigate the facts and continue to develop his business.What's more... With my little writing, I might be kicked out of the Imperial College within a short time. Living in a good place is not in vain, Ye An thought happily, and followed Lu Laoliu to sign the paperwork pay.

At this time, there are still some preferential policies for renting a house in Tokyo, such as the right to be exempted from paying rent for five days, and the rent will be collected from the sixth day. During the holidays, the officials may even be exempt from rent.Anyway, Ye An is quite satisfied. The average daily income of Bianliang people is [-] Wen, which is equivalent to spending one-third of their daily income to live in a courtyard house in Beijing's third ring road. It is unthinkable in modern times.

After paying the rent for three months in one go, accompanied by Lu Laoliu, he went to the market to buy some daily necessities.At the last parting, the other party gave him an iron pot.

"You can't do it, it's too expensive." Ye An declined again and again, the Song Dynasty was no different from modern times, and cooking was just becoming popular, so it's impossible to buy such an iron pot without a few pennies.

Lu Laoliu laughed and said: "This pot was replaced by Jifu. It is usually kept in the warehouse. I said hello to the master, and I will take it as a loan from you. I will send it back when you buy a new one." , don’t refuse.”

"This..." Ye An hesitated, and the family really needed something to eat, so he said in shame, "Thank you Zhang Zhang for this, and also tell the Patriarch of the Ji family for me that the boy will definitely visit him someday."

"Hey, the little old man is waiting for your lord." Lu Lao Liu nodded, and then gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Ye An sighed sadly, such a debt of affection, when will it be repaid.

But for the time being, I can't control that much, the left and right quarters are in the middle of the capital, so it's important to pack things first.After simply cleaning the house, both of them were very tired. Ye An sat on the threshold, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears.He looked around suspiciously: "What's the sound?"

Yuan Bao scratched his head, and said naively, "It seems like my stomach is growling."

Ye An was speechless, he thought it was thunder, and it was time to eat.For the first meal of the housewarming, there is always something good to eat, and there happened to be an iron pot, so Ye An sent Yuanbao out to buy some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables at random, intending to treat him well.

Yuan Bao was so excited that he jumped three feet high, and finally he was able to enjoy the young master's craftsmanship again.

In the end, Ye An cooked three dishes, namely Kung Pao Chicken, Cold Bean Curd and Chongqing Grilled Fish. The staple food was cooking cakes bought outside.Because there is no chili now, a lot of dogwood is put in the grilled fish. With the smell of pepper, it is so fragrant that Yuanbao's saliva will flow out.

When it was finished, Ye An thought that although the place where he lived was very close to the Fengfu, the alley was actually narrow and there were only a few families, and it seemed that only he and the family next to him were rented out.In ancient times, neighbors were more concerned about relationships. When they first arrived, they always wanted to visit, so they packed up some vegetables and brought food boxes to knock on the door next door.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a handsome young man came out, seeing Ye An's suspicious expression: "Little brother, can I find something for you?"

Ye An saw that he was dressed in a bunt, and his appearance was imposing, so he knew that this person must be extraordinary, so he introduced himself and explained the purpose of his visit.

The young man laughed as soon as he heard it: "That's a coincidence. I went out during the day on business, and when I came back, I found that the side has been rented out. I just smelled the smell of food and I was hungry. Brother, thank you here in advance. I will show you next time. Zhao, from Changzhou Prefecture, although he has not been to Bianliang for a long time, but he is familiar with it, if you encounter trouble, just come to me."

Ye An was completely stunned after hearing the word "Zhan Zhao", and didn't pay attention to what he said later.Yuan Bao on the side also shouted: "What! You are the 'Nan Xia' Zhan Zhao who hit the flying bear with one palm! I, I adore you so much!!"

Ye An wiped his sweat, but fortunately, with this iron powder on the side, he would not be ashamed, and went back to add chicken legs to Yuan Bao.

After all, Zhan Zhao has been in the Jianghu for so many years, and he has seen a lot of brain-dead fans, so he would not be too rude, but said rather helplessly: "Thanks to the love of the Jianghu people, I gave him the title of Nanxia, ​​but Dafei Xiong and so on are indeed nonsense, because my name is Xiong Fei, so it has become what it is now."

Ye An: "..." What the hell, he just said what he's doing to beat a bear, so that's the case.

"Ah..." Unlike Ye An, Yuan Bao's expression was very disappointed, without the bear's halo bonus, the idol himself didn't look so stalwart.

Ignoring the servant, Ye An warmly invited Zhan Zhao to his home as a benefactor who made him understand the current situation.In the book, he is a hero, with good conduct, modesty and courtesy, and his righteousness is beyond the sky. Now that he has the opportunity to meet, Ye An naturally wants to observe carefully.

Zhan Zhao couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to go home instead.Ye An even asked Yuan Bao to buy two jugs of wine, saying that today he would never return home without getting drunk with Daxia Zhan.

Looking at the young boy in front of him amusedly, Zhan Zhao thought in his heart that it was a blessing to meet a little friend in a foreign land because he was bored.

After arriving at Ye's house, I tasted two mouthfuls of delicacies. The chicken was smooth and tender, the tofu was delicious, and the fish was spicy.Zhan Zhao has traveled all these years, but he hasn't eaten such dishes, so his appetite suddenly whetted, and after two glasses of rice wine, he began to talk more.

"Mr. Ye Xiaolang, Zhan really admires your cooking, especially this grilled fish. It's spicy and spicy at first taste, but people can't stop eating. People in Bianliang are fond of sweets, so maybe they are not used to it. If they were in Sichuan, It must be very popular." Zhan Zhao's handsome face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was spicy or drunk.

Ye An smiled and said: "Brother Zhan, you can call me Brother An from now on. This is Sichuan cuisine. I just changed the ingredients a little bit, but the taste is still not enough. I will cook it for you again when the tools are ready."

"That's a good relationship, and Zhan is lucky again." Zhan Zhao is also a straightforward person, and since he has become friends, he doesn't hold back.

The two chatted for a long time, only to feel that the more they talked, the more speculative they became.They are both young people, Zhan Zhao is calm and calm, Ye An is active in thinking, and they soon became friends.

After drinking and eating, Ye An hesitated and said: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly. I heard that Big Brother Zhan is a hero, but seeing him today, Big Brother seems to have something on his mind. If you don't mind, you can tell me that you can help me as a staff officer." Although Knowing that he was a little shallow, but the worry on Zhan Zhao's brows was too obvious.At any rate, he had read the original novel a few times, maybe he could really be of help, and he would also know where the plot was going.

"This..." Zhan Zhao hesitated, and Ye An quickly said, "If you have any difficulties, brother, you don't need to talk too much, and younger brother is just talking casually."

"Hey, it's actually not a big deal, but it's really hard to tell, but it's okay to tell Brother An." Zhan Zhao frowned, and said to Ye An eloquently.

Ye An listened, and the more he listened, the more wrong he became, until the end his expression changed from "O_O" to "=.=".

"...So, you mean, you have no money now, and you want to find a job so you can live in Tokyo."

Zhan Zhao nodded shyly.

Ye An was speechless, how did the good-for-nothing prodigal son's pride suddenly turn into a realistic story of difficult employment? Do you want to be so realistic! ?Well, fairies also have to poop, and heroes have to live.

"Based on Brother's fame in martial arts, it shouldn't be difficult to find a job." Ye Xiaoan, who was hit hard, still advises the idol. Willing to spend money.

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "I've thought about it too, but I just arrived in Bianliang a while ago and encountered some injustice, so I couldn't help but take action to teach me a lesson. Those yamen are very powerful, and I'm afraid of causing trouble to others."

It turns out that this is something Xiang Zhanwei can do.Wait, exhibition guard? !

Ye An tentatively said, "I don't know if you know Mr. Bao, the prefect of Kaifeng? Didn't you say that Mr. Qingtian brought down Taishi Pang a few years ago, and now he has a bright future?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned: "Brother An means that I should go to Baofu Yin to seek revenge? I do know him, but that gang of yamen did not do anything bad except occasionally bullying men and women, and there are so many of them. I'm afraid even Mr. Bao can't do anything about it."

Ye An's expression was complicated, and he hated iron and steel: "I mean, why don't you go to Kaifeng Mansion to take up a job? How dare the second generation ancestors make trouble in Kaifeng Mansion again? As far as I know, Brother Zhan, you also worked for Mr. Bao. A lot of strength!"

"Your Excellency is honest and upright, Zhan is just helping, but..." Zhan Zhao was still hesitating. At that time, Bao Zheng tried his best to persuade him to stay, but he still refused. It is really embarrassing to go back now.

"Ham, what's the matter?" Ye An didn't think so. "Although my younger brother lives in a corner, he also knows Master Bao's reputation. If you follow him, you are working for the welfare of the people. When it comes to right and wrong, what is more important."

Zhan Zhao suddenly realized, raised his glass and said solemnly, "I'm the one who is on the edge of the horns. I didn't expect my brother to be so transparent at such a young age. Zhan is ashamed. Here is a toast to you."

Ye An toasted and drank together, the two drank until dark before they dispersed.

After a few days, when Zhan Zhao reappeared in front of Ye An, he was already a fourth-rank guard with a knife in Kaifeng.

Ye An nodded in satisfaction, not bad, not bad, red-clothed and black-hatted, heroic, coincided with the handsome Zhan Daxia in his memory.

Zhan Zhao was obviously a little embarrassed, and explained: "Originally, I went to find Mr. Bao, just to do some errands at random, but who knows that the official is also there, and the adult recommended me, so I was lucky enough to get an official."

"Not only that," Ye An teased: "Isn't it still named 'Royal Cat'?"

Zhan Zhao was shocked, "How could it spread so quickly?" Then he said sadly: "At that time when he showed lightness kung fu, the officials just said it so casually. Now it's better, it's not as good as being called Xiong Nan before." At least it's more majestic .

Ye An snickered, not only that, your name will cause big trouble in the future, but I really look forward to the moment when the cat and mouse meet.

Knowing that his little brother wanted to watch the fun, Zhan Zhao just smiled casually, after all, if he hadn't woken up, he would still be worrying about his livelihood.Seeing that he was neatly dressed, he couldn't help asking: "Brother An, are you going out? Do you want to give you a ride for brother?"

Ye An's expression changed all of a sudden: "No, I have to fight this tough battle myself!"

His face was ashen, and even the strands of his hair exuded a sense of despair: "I, I'm going to school."
