After Xinran and Chen Ming finished eating "Song Sao Yu Yao", Xinran said to Chen Ming, "brother, your brother is an official in Lin'an. When you come to Lin'an, you should visit him. You have been away from home for some time. Today, you will take your brother to your brother's house to visit your brother, will you?

"

" let's go to my family now, brother.

Then they went back to the cruise ship where they stayed last night, settled the money with the shopkeeper, rode on their horses, and led by Chen Ming to the mansion where their elder brother lived. When the servant standing at the front door saw Chen Ming riding a horse to the gate, he quickly came forward and bowed to the front door and said, "young master, you can come back. Our adults, madam and Mrs. Tai are missing you I'm looking forward to going home early. "

Chen Ming said to his servant, "I'm not back. My elder brother is not at home. "

the servant then said," my Lord has just come back. This meeting should be in the study. I'll show you to him. "

" no, I'll go myself, "Chen Ming said.

Then he led Xinran to the inside of the mansion until he reached the middle of the main room. Chen Mingdao said to Xinran, "this is my brother's study."

Then he called out: "big brother. "

Chen Ming pushed the door and went in. There was only a 17-year-old maid cleaning the study. When they came in, they bowed and said," young master, where's your wife. "

Chen Ming said," please go and invite my elder brother to the study, and say I'll come back with the distinguished guests. The servant girl replied, "yes, I'm going now. "

after the servant girl left, Xin Ran said to Chen Ming," good brother, your elder brother is the head of the etiquette department in Lin'an, and you are also the Wanghu family of the aristocratic family. But your mansion is a small courtyard. It's really economical. "

Chen Ming said with a smile," big brother, it's not easy to live in Chang'an ". In the past, when the Jin army conquered Tokyo and the imperial court moved southward, a large number of officials and people also moved southward, and a large number of people poured into the south, especially Lin'an and nearby areas. As a result, it was difficult to get a house, and the rent naturally rose all the time;

the state of Jin settled in Beijing After the Song Dynasty spies learned about this situation, they reported to the court of Jin. The emperor of Jin sent a large number of spies to sneak into the Song Dynasty when he saw that there was a chance to take advantage of it. They posted notices everywhere, boasting that the place ruled by the kingdom of Jin was fair, and they would never let their subjects unable to afford houses. If people in the South want to have a good life, they are welcome to move back to the north and live in the capital Under the rule of Jin, the people in the South lived better than those under the management of the Song Dynasty.

the rulers of Jin tried to deceive the people of Song Dynasty in order to subdue them without fighting. After a large number of people from the North moved to the south, a large number of houses and fields in the north were abandoned. Besides, the nomadic areas in Jin were dominated by nomads There was no farming, so in the areas controlled by the state of Jin at that time, house prices and rents were naturally lower than those in the Song Dynasty.

in this way, because of the alienation of the Jin people, the majority of the subjects began to feel uneasy.

When a minister told Gaozong this question, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered him to issue an edict on renting and buying and selling houses: the house owned by the government can be free of three months' rent, and only nine months' rent a year. At the same time, a special organization was set up to manage the public houses of the government. The rent of private houses must also be reduced on the basis of the original He also announced that if any subjects did not comply with the regulations, they could report to the relevant yamen, and the imperial court would punish them severely.

At first, people thought it was a walk through, the subjects didn't seriously implement it, and the private people's rental prices didn't fall to the prescribed level. But soon after, Emperor Gaozong and officials at all levels of the Song Dynasty severely punished those who disobeyed the orders. You can see that the court was serious, and the prices fell to the level stipulated by the imperial edict. In this way, we were satisfied, Naturally, the rumor of Jin people is invalid.

But for those who come to Lin'an from other places, it is still very difficult for them to buy a house in Lin'an on their own salary. My brother is clean and honest, and his salary is fair. I can't afford to settle in Lin'an. In those days, the famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun wanted to rent a house in Tokyo, not to mention my brother. “
