Poor Family Chapter 438

  Chapter 438 Renting a house in Dongcheng

Han Yaren is a well-known mansion house in Bianjing. He has dealt with countless celebrities and dignitaries. For example, Prime Minister Su Che rented a house in his father's hands. His father has handled the house for generations. He is very good at judging people. Li Yanqing sees He looks only about twenty years old, and the official rank of such a young man will not be too high, unless he is a son of the rich and powerful who wants to move out to live alone, but even if he is a son of the rich and powerful, he may not be qualified to rent a better house.

  So he first had to confirm whether Li Yanqing had the qualifications to rent a house, Li Yanqing smiled lightly and said, "I'm going to invite you to the seventh rank!"

  Han Yaren nodded. The seventh rank is just on the threshold. Generally speaking, it is not suitable to live in a house below the seventh rank. Generally speaking, you can only rent a yard to live in. He pondered for a while and asked: "Do you have fame?"

   "I am the third candidate in the last imperial examination."

  Han Yaren suddenly came to his senses, pointed at Li Yanqing and said, "It turns out that the official is the famous Li Tanhua!"

  Li Yanqing touched his nose and smiled, "Am I famous?"

   "Of course, Li Tanhua is both civil and military, and the number one general who attacked Xixia. People in the market all call Li Tanhua 'Wen Diqing', and it spreads all over the capital."

  Li Yanqing was very surprised that he actually got a street nickname of 'Wen Diqing', he didn't even know it, this is the first time he heard of it today.

   “Is fame good for renting?”

   "Of course there is an impact. For example, if the government finds illegal renting, if you are famous, you can make an exception."

   "Let's continue talking about Fang Zhai!"

"good!"

The Han Ya people thought for a while and continued: "Generally, there is no restriction on renting ordinary houses when you are an official, but mansions are different. To some extent, they are not as good as businessmen. Although businessmen cannot rent mansions, if you spend After donating an honorary officer, no one would say that he spent 100,000 yuan to buy a small house of less than five acres.

But officials are different. No matter renting a house or buying a house, they are very particular. There are official rules in the officialdom. I also deal with the rules based on experience. Generally speaking, low-rank officials live in residences, while high-rank officials live in mansions. "

   "What is the low grade? What is the high grade?" Li Yanqing asked with great interest.

"This kind of officialdom knowledge is extensive and profound. I can only rely on the experience left by my parents and grandparents. As far as housing is concerned, the seventh and fifth ranks are generally the key thresholds. It is best to live in a house in the capital. Of course, it is not impossible for you to want to live in a house. If you are jealous of your boss and you can't be promoted for decades, you still don't know why. You need to rely on the advice of experienced housekeepers. gone."

   "For example, a top villain like Brother Han!"

The Han Ya people smiled proudly, "I'm not bragging, there are also grades in our business. If officials want to rent a house, they really can't go to ordinary Ya people. They have no experience and only want to earn commissions. In the end, they will only harm the officials. people."

   "I'm all ears!"

The Hanya people smiled and continued: "Seventh and sixth ranks can live in a three-acre small house. If they have more authority or have a family background, they can live in a five-acre medium house. Fifth and fourth ranks can live in a five-mu to ten-acre house. Mu's house, if it is above the third grade, there is basically no limit, generally speaking, everyone's situation is different, so we need to analyze it in detail."

  Speaking of this, the Hanya people glanced at Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "Official Li is a seventh-rank official, and he can rent a small house of three acres. But with his fame, Jinshi and rank, I think he can rent a house of five acres."

  Li Yanqing pondered for a moment. His family is not large, and the five-acre house is almost enough. The key is to look at the environment. He asked again: "How much is the monthly rent for a five-mu house?"

"It's hard to say. The price of each house is different. The cheapest five-acre house I've ever dealt with is 15 yuan a month. It's outside the east city, next door is a goods store. It's noisy from morning to night, so the price is high. No, but the most expensive 80 guan a month is in the area of ​​Jinliang Bridge, which is a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather. The key depends on what needs Li officials have, and then I will arrange it. Let's put it this way! If you are famous, you will definitely find a house that satisfies Li Guanren."

Li Yanqing already had a standard in mind, and he said slowly: "The first requirement is safety. I live in the Bianhe area outside the city now, where there are mixed fish and dragons, it is really unsafe, so try to make the surroundings mainly residential, and secondly, the room is not required. There are many, but there must be pavilions, ponds, and trees. Third, the walls must be high, and there must be no high-rise buildings around them. These four points."

Hanya people laughed and said: "The requirement of a pavilion has already removed most of the mansions, but I really have three mansions that meet Li Guanren's requirements, all of which are five acres, and one is located on the north bank of the Jinshui River. , that is also the place where officials' residences are concentrated. It is the residence of Zhang Miaotai, a doctor of the household department. He has just been appointed as the magistrate of Langzhou, and he will not be able to return to Bianjing for at least five years. He asked me to rent out his residence for five years. Fifty days of the month, the mansion is an ancestral house, the big tree is really nice, the only regret is that it is a little old, by the way, how long will Li Guanren plan to rent it for?"

   "About two or three years!"

Although Li Daqi hoped that his son would become an official in a local prefecture or county, Li Yanqing wanted to stay in the court. He planned to use the past few years to accumulate some connections in the court. In terms of appearance, it is already difficult to recognize her as Li Shishi, who was famous in the capital a few years ago. Li Yanqing is not worried that she will be recognized by others, and she will not show her face easily.

Hanya people smiled and said: "It's not a big problem in two or three years. There is another house that I want to recommend to Li Guanren. It is located next to Fayun Temple on Yunqi Bridge in the south of the city. It's relatively far away, and there are very few foreigners.”

   "Is it also a five-acre house?"

"To be precise, it is a five-acre five-cent house, which is probably new. The owner is a Taiyuan fur merchant. He offered a price of 100,000 yuan to sell the house, but there have been very few people buying houses in the past two years, and it has been closed for a year. , so he asked me to rent out the house for as long as possible. The house is absolutely quiet and exquisite. There is a lotus pond of an acre and a half in the back garden, surrounded by winding corridors, shaded by big trees, with pavilions and pavilions. It doesn't feel like a five-acre house at all, but an eight-acre house, with tall walls. The only drawback is that he asked for a relatively high price, sixty per month, and the landlord still refused to give up the price. To be honest, this The price is already enough to rent an eight-acre house, and there are basically no officials and officials around, which is not impressive enough."

  Fayun Temple is not far from Taixue, Li Yanqing has been there, the environment is really quiet, the security is very good, and you can see the famous winter snow scenery of Baigang in the southeast of Bianjing.

The monthly rent of 60 guan has no pressure on Li Yanqing. It is only more than 700 guan for a year, and it is only about 2,000 guan for three years. He still cares more about the environment. Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Bai Wen No see, let's go take a look."

  Han Yaren chuckled, "That's right, it's better to go and see it in person than my mouth is worn out."

  Han Yaren took the key, and asked the man to pack an ox cart, and he took Li Yanqing to Fayun Temple.

The house that the Han Ya people said is located next to the Fayun Temple. It is a very short alley. After all, it is the only family. Although the gate is not grand enough, it is not bad that the carriage can drive directly in. The gate is facing a screen wall , the house is indeed very new, it has only been renovated for two or three years, it has a front house, an atrium and a back house.

In fact, the back house is built in the back garden. There are about seven or eight rooms. Behind it is a rockery about one foot five feet high made of soil. Two big trees on the mountain cover an exquisite small house like an umbrella The pavilion, under the small pavilion is a clear water pond, which is full of lotus flowers, surrounded by a circle of hanging eaves and curved corridors, and there are three half pavilions on the curved corridors for viewing fish.

Li Yanqing walked into the pavilion on the rockery. Standing in the pavilion, he could see the hills several miles away. The walls around the courtyard were so high that he could not even see the bell tower of the temple. Li Yanqing suddenly had a feeling that this place was very similar. In the past, Li Shishi's mansion was also a rockery pond, and there was also an exquisite pavilion. He immediately decided to rent this house.

   "How about it, you are still satisfied!" Han Yaren smiled from the side.

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I am basically satisfied with this mansion, I can pay a deposit, and I will send someone to complete the lease at the latest the day after tomorrow."

  Hanya people readily agreed, as long as Li Yanqing is willing to pay the deposit, then anything is easy to talk about.

  【Please recommend a ticket! 】
