Xie Yu took his donkey and some of his belongings with him, combined with his original memory, for the first time, he returned to his original home with two entrances to the courtyard.
Although this courtyard is in a civilian street, there are many places, especially in the capital city. At least it is worth several hundred taels of silver. It was the original grandfather who worked hard with Mr. Cheng for many years.
When I was preparing to get married, I spent my savings to buy a house that was suitable for my grade, and I also wanted to give my little daughter-in-law a nest to lay eggs for.
Of course, there is also the sponsorship of the old man of the Cheng family, otherwise he would not be able to buy such a property.
Even in special years, even a thousand taels can't stop it. What's more, in recent years, the world has been relatively peaceful, and the Northern Tartars have not dared to invade.
More people come to Beijing to seek life, so housing prices in the capital have risen even more.
The man with the memory asked a high price of one thousand five hundred taels of silver from his original father.
Speaking of the Northern Tartar border affairs, according to the collected information, when there was war at the original border, in order to provide military pay for the army, the imperial court would conduct "rotating donations and imports" and "importing millet into prisons". In fact, it was to let civilians donate money and get some benefits. report.
For example, the classic "Kaizhong method" is to send grain to the border, exchange for salt in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and sell salt in the salt fields, that's it!
This "rotating donation input" can be said to have broken the ceiling for some civilians. For example, many businessmen were unable to enter the imperial examination due to their status as scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. The chance of "being put into prison" and the qualification to take the scientific examination.
It can be regarded as a legitimate path, but the quota obtained through this "rotating donation input" usually costs two thousand taels of silver. What's more, the imperial court has not released quotas for many years due to the stability of the border.
This is especially true for the orthodox reading of the nobles and civil servants in the court, and those businessmen's children who "donate money to import". This not only infringes on the rights of the scholars, but also makes their system and expression muddy, and naturally they can't see their clear stream. "Alien".
In order to keep the system "clean", they are naturally unwilling to release it. This can be said to be a tacit understanding between the nobles and civil servants in the scientific examination.
Xie Yu had thought about the path of being a civil servant. If he was not good at it, he could also take the martial arts examination and become a martial arts examiner!
Well, similarly, when the border wars stopped, the martial arts examinations naturally stopped as well.
For many general families, I can't arrange it for them. How about you?
Regardless of the industry, over time, especially after the upper-level channels become more solidified, various internal rules will restrict those who come after you.
Looking at the rusty iron lock on the door, I realized that the key was lost with my father a long time ago.
Fortunately, Xie Yu was mentally prepared. After breaking off the iron lock, he prepared a new one and replaced it with a new one.
After that, when I entered the house, the floor was covered with fallen leaves and dust.
"The security in the capital is so good? There are no thieves here?"
Thinking about it again, the surrounding people are basically all escorts, and no one knows what masters are hidden in that house or what trump cards they have.
Besides, everyone knows that in the escort profession, you can earn more, but you can't make much money. In the end, you are still a hard worker.
Many petty thieves dare not, and big thieves look down upon them. After all, there are so many wealthy families in the capital!
He first led the donkey to the dilapidated livestock shed of his original home, which also used to raise horses!
But later on, I really couldn’t afford to keep it, so I sold it anyway. If you don’t raise horses, you don’t know the cost of raising horses.
Horses are such delicate things. They need to be fed four or five times a day, three times for grass and two times for food. They also have to wake up and feed them once at the third watch of the night. That’s why there is a common saying that a horse cannot grow fat without night and grass.
It's not impossible to feed the horse a few times less on weekdays, but it's just that the horse has been trained to be a rogue.
Of course, being so delicate and well-kept, horses are naturally very useful. They can quickly kill in short distances, chase and disturb enemies, and are extremely useful on the battlefield.
But it is okay to raise them with the power of the state. Even ordinary small households can do it. Even Changfeng Escort Bureau only raises two or three horses as a token. For spectacle, the others are better to raise mules.
Indeed, it is more cost-effective to use mules to haul goods. Although they are not fast and timid, they have better strength and endurance.
It was just this broken shed and a well with wooden embroidery on the windlass. Xie Yu rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to find a water container.
Just because of the funeral, Xie Yu still has a lot of unused linen here. The Changfeng Escort Bureau will provide you with some of these things, but you have to buy some yourself, and hire people to dig tombs, carry coffins, and carve monuments. These things the Escort Bureau Just to provide convenience, Xie Yu has to spend money.
After all, the Changfeng Escort Bureau is really no better than it used to be. In the past, the Escort Bureau would have provided all-inclusive services, but now it provides more convenient channels and half-inclusive services. If you can save some money, you can save more.
But it is still better than those scattered people who don’t even have a unit. Sure enough, the Shandong mother-in-law thought the furthest!
Just now, we were cleaning for a while, and the neighbors heard sounds and saw the door of Xie's house open.
Come over, say hello, and then start helping!
Xie Yu gave five taels of silver to two neighbor sisters-in-law, asking them to buy rice, meat and talents, and make a real big pot of stew to share with the neighbors.
Although there was a human touch, Xie Yu also knew that life was not easy for people in this era, and it was rare to have the opportunity to eat meat. Xie Yu did not organize his own funeral, which also allowed them to save some gift money. Naturally, they felt a little guilty, too. Come over and help, whatever you can do for free.
And Xie Yu's method of coming over to help and then serving a large bowl of braised pork with rice was simple, but it also revealed a practical favor.
Because the important things are not in the open, there is meat and hot rice to eat, and there are many people and strength, so everyone cleans up quickly.
Mainly because people of this generation are more diligent than those who stay at home watching TV and playing with computers and mobile phones!
It's just cleaning, some still need to be repaired. When some wood and stone are needed, the neighbors also "support" one after another. Xie Yu naturally won't take it for free or give money.
But let the grain store deliver some grain and give it to everyone.
The autumn harvest has just passed, and although food prices are cheap, many families with low incomes cannot afford to buy more.
They usually only buy food for three to five days based on their income, which is enough for the family.
Most of them also need to save some money.
Xie Yu's giving back with food can be regarded as a favor.
Some people think that the fire wood and stepping stones they usually pick up are not valuable, but if Xie Yu really wants to purchase them, it will still cost a lot of money, let alone transportation.
I was originally in the escort business, and transportation costs are not low these days.
Later, the roof was repaired and the window sash was replaced with new window paper. As the day went by, this old house seemed to have a new look.
Of course, the price was inconspicuous. More than thirty taels of silver disappeared.
Fortunately, Xie Yu now has more than a thousand taels in savings, not to mention that the internship salary from Master Jia Wu has not been settled yet!
After that, I sent some of the uneaten stewed meat rice bowl to the neighboring eldest sister’s house for them to help me wash the clothes and bedding in the original house!
However, when Xie Yu returned to her original house and looked at the empty room, Xie Yu really felt that she was missing a hostess.
In the midst of emotion, Xie Yu clearly expressed his attitude towards that trip to the cottage, but why didn’t Mr. Jia Wu arrange it!
Especially the twin sisters who were less than 20 years old. Master Jia and Wu took advantage of the forty-year-old bachelor, and he didn't take advantage of himself, to a certain extent...
never mind!
