Chapter 106
Chapter 106
The government offices in every county are very large. Ji Xuanhe stepped out of the carriage in front of the Jin'an county government office, looking at the magnificent buildings, he, who is used to government offices, couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
It seems that the princes of the various counties have invested a lot of money. The government buildings are not only solemn and solemn, but also imitate the layout of small palaces in the imperial palace. When people step into it, they feel proud. Even Ji Xuanhe has seen it like this. People in high-rise buildings and luxurious houses of various colors couldn't help admiring.
After being notified, the guards soon led Ji Xuanhe into the official office.The transfer document only stated that he was asked to report to the official office of Jin'an County in Jincheng. As for any position, it was not mentioned in the document.Reporting at the Jin'an County government office instead of going to the central government office, Ji Xuanhe thought that he should belong to the central government officials of Jin'an County, not the central government officials of the Jin Dynasty.
The result was not as expected by Ji Xuanhe. He took over the inauguration documents from the officials of the Ministry of Officials. His new official position is Jin'an County Shizi Shaoshi (Shu Ke). If the brackets are removed, this official position will be higher. The addition of parentheses at the back, hehe, the level of official position is very flexible, from the second rank to the sixth rank, it is possible.Ji Xuanhe's inauguration document clearly stated that his rank is from the fourth rank, which is the same as the previous official rank.
As the eldest son's husband, Ji Xuanhe was allocated a large house, and the guards took him to the destination and left, leaving Ji Xuanhe staring at the empty house in a daze.He didn't know what to say, at least the people in Jincheng in the outer city could get some compensation, but they had nothing here.
This is Ji Xuanhe's misunderstanding. The government has too many things to do now, and some steps have been diverted, and they couldn't keep up with it for a while. The officials are subsidized, not much, and that's better than nothing.
Ji Xuanhe asked people to bring Shao Yunchen and the others over, while he himself looked around the house.The palaces of the princes of the five counties are all located in the inner city, and the sons of the kings are also in the inner city.Zhongcheng is the residence of rich officials and officials in various counties. It is divided into four districts.
Roughly so, but not absolutely, just like Ji Xuanhe's family, Ji Ningyou has a vassal, so it's okay to want to live in the Northwest District.The house he was assigned was in the southeast district, close to the inner city, where many officials from Jin'an County lived.
I don't know what the princes of the counties think, the officials and wealthy households of the counties live together, and there is no clear distinction.Although the people in each county live close to each other, and it is not that the counties live mixed together, but this is too thoroughly integrated, as if Jin Chao is still the same as before, this can only deceive children, no one with a discerning eye knows what Jin Chao is doing situation at the time.
Ji Xuanhe looked at the residents around him, and was quite speechless.Around, around, only his house is empty.Two of the neighbors have completed construction, and the main courtyards of the other two have also been completed, and the only difference is the auxiliary courtyard.The open space is large, at least it is more than enough to build a five-entry courtyard, and it pales in comparison to one of the surrounding ones.That house occupies at least twice the area of Ji's house, so it seems that it must be a big family, otherwise it would be useless to have such a big place.
Ji Xuanhe came too late, and if he wanted to change places, he had to choose other vacant houses, most of which were near the outer city.The closer the location to the inner city, the better. A good location is what everyone wants, and it has been selected early in the morning, and Ji Xuanhe has nothing to choose.He was able to be allocated such a place, obviously someone above arranged it for him, otherwise such a good place would not be his turn.
The master of Ji's family has few children, and the three courtyards before were not fully occupied. The courtyard is bigger than the fifth one, so he has nothing to criticize.He was worried about how to design it, otherwise it would be a waste to complete the house, and the idle courtyard could only be used as decoration.
Between the inner city, the middle city and the outer city, there is traffic during the day, and the respective city gates are closed only at night.The inspection in the inner city is the strictest, the middle city is much more lenient, and the outer city is less so.
Since the middle city and the outer city are still under construction, only some inns and restaurants have been built on the main streets. At present, there is a huge flow of people in Jincheng, and the inns are almost full. .Those who don't care much about the housing environment can live in the homes of ordinary people, and those who are more particular can rent courtyards facing the street that are temporarily unused by wealthy households.
Considering that the big family has a big business and it is easy to form a monopoly, in addition to the house land that each family lives in, if you want to buy other house land, the price is not low. If it is not necessary, most people are not willing to spend this money.
Construction is going on everywhere in Jincheng, and there is an urgent shortage of masons. It is almost impossible to hire good craftsmen in Jincheng.Ji Xuanhe had already prepared for the worst—staying in residential houses, there is a market if there is demand, and the people who are a little better off can always squeeze out a few rooms. Tile-roofed houses can always have their share.
Ji Xuanhe waited for a long time before Ji's motorcade drove into his house.
"Yunchen, the houses will not be built for a while. Do you think they should be scattered among the inns and private households, or first make do with finding someone to build a few simple houses?" Ji Xuanhe has nothing to do with this, he will choose Give it to Shao Yunchen.
In recent years, Ji Xuanhe can also be regarded as rich and well-clothed, but he can still live through the hard times.Besides, relying on the conditions of Ji's family, at most, the accommodation conditions are temporarily poor, and they will not be wronged when they eat and travel.
Shao Yunchen looked at the open space covering an area of several acres, and he said after deliberation: "It is best if you can find a place to live. If you can't find a place, you can build a mud house or a wooden house here. If you can invite people, at most You can move in in two or three days."
Not long after Shao Yunchen and the others arrived, several of Qiu Cheng's servants who were looking for a place to stay returned one after another. Under the instructions of the left behind staff, they rushed to the location of Ji's family.
It was not far from what Ji Xuanhe had expected. The slightly better inns were all fully booked, and the only ones with some vacant beds were the Chase shops.Obviously, this is not within the choice of Ji Xuan and his husband. To live in such an inn, it is better to live directly in the carriage.Anyway, the carriage was clean and tidy, and the carriage where the masters were in was even more comfortable.
The inn was placed there brightly, Qiu Cheng and the others were easy to find, but it was a bit difficult to find a rented private house.There are so many private houses that Qiu Cheng and the others can't take care of them at all.Qiu Chengneng has been in charge of his own business for several years, and this small matter is not a problem for him. When he saw that the inn was full, he went to find middle-aged people. These people are local snakes and know the local market best.
When going out, the most important thing is safety. Qiu Cheng invited Wuzhong, the asking price is a bit high, I can't stand his good reputation, and he has a lot of contacts. He has a lot of connections in the outer city, and there are many regular customers in the middle city. .Since he could be invited, it was because Wu Zhongren had a house in his hands, and Qiu Cheng couldn't make decisions for his master, so he had to invite him over.
"This is my master, you can call him Master Ji." Qiu Cheng introduced him.
"Wuzhong people, do you think there is a way to arrange these people?" Ji Xuanhe didn't write any ink, it was almost noon, and if he didn't settle down, he would really spend tonight in the carriage.It can be tolerated in the wilderness, and it is all in Jincheng. Given the choice, no one likes to live in a narrow carriage.
The Wuzhong people looked around, and they already knew what they knew. After making an estimate, they said bluntly: "Master Ji, do you want one yard or two yards? The yards I have are not too big, and they can barely accommodate everyone. Come on, each room will accommodate four or five people, this..."
"Two yards. The environment is better. One yard can be smaller, enough for ten people to live in. The other yard doesn't need to be so good, it's a little bigger. It's better that the two yards are closer together." See Ji Xuan and Kan Looking at him, Shao Yunchen immediately reported the conditions.
Wu Zhongren understood as soon as he heard it, he took out a notebook, which was full of house listings, marking the location, size, etc. Many of them had already been rented out, leaving little room for Ji Xuan and his wife to choose.
Wu Zhongren pointed out several small courtyards that met the requirements one by one, and then stopped talking, waiting for the employer's decision.The high-quality and cheap houses have been rented out a long time ago, and the houses that can be kept until now are either not well built, or the price is too high, or the lease period is too long.
Based on various situations, Ji Xuanhe and Shao Yunchen selected two nearby courtyards, and proposed to visit these two places first.
People living in Zhongcheng are either high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants. Logically, not many people are willing to rent out houses. In fact, this is a bit taken for granted.No one thinks there is too much money, and besides, there are some families who do not take care of their general affairs properly. It is better to make a little money than to be idle.What's more, some families who don't care about face so much build these single-family houses for rent to make money.
Most of these rented courtyards are located near the outer city. The closer to the inner city, the higher the official position, the richer the family property, which naturally classifies people into grades.
The two selected by Ji Xuan and his husband are both located in Zhongcheng, one is in the southeast area and the other is in the southwest area.After the two looked at it, although they felt that the house in the southwest district was better, Ji Xuan and his wife still chose the house in the southeast district when the difference was not too big.The Southwest District is mostly rich merchants, with more people, and it is not as quiet as the Southeast District.
This side is close to the outer city, and they are all the residences of petty officials. The family surnamed Wang where Ji Xuan and he settled down only had three rents and one rented out. It is estimated that the money will not be too rich.This house is not bad, but the price/performance ratio is not high, and the price is a bit expensive. After the previous tenant moved out, it was vacant for several days.This is rare when there are foreigners everywhere.
Don't look at Wu Zhongren's book, there are still many houses that have not been rented out, they are all just vacated, and within two days, these houses will be digested, and if there are houses, they will be moved out Only then re-registered.
Those who lived with the masters of Ji's family in the Wang's house were mostly personal servants and kitchen staff, and the other servants lived in Feng's house, which was only two households away from Wang's.
There are only a few carriages owned by the Ji family. The rest of the carriages are rented from the dealership. Now that they have a place to stay, these carriages will be sent back to the dealership on the same day.
Although the Wang family's house is a newly built house, the materials used are very ordinary, but it is clean and tidy, and it looks passable.It's just a house for short-term living, so there's nothing to be picky about. If you want to live comfortably, just build your own house in a better way.
When the house was confirmed, it was already noon, Chi's mother hurriedly rushed, and finally prepared the meals for the masters at the end of the afternoon, and the lunch for the servants had to be late.
Lunch is very simple. After a long time on the road, there is no strong food. They are all fresh food. Three meat, two vegetables and one soup are the whole meal, which is enough for three meals and two snacks.
Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen were in their prime of life, and they often exercised. They both had a big appetite. Most of the dishes on the table went into their stomachs.
The construction of Ji's mansion is imminent, and nothing will bother the two masters. Ji Xuan and Tuo Wuzhong look for masons, and Uncle Qiu and his son follow up.
The people above were quite humane, and they didn't let Ji Xuanhe take office immediately, but gave him a ten-year buffer.Ji's family has just arrived, and there are many things to deal with. Both Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen are very busy.
