In Jing'an Fang, the original residence of Liang Chui (Liang Chui was a minister during the Zhenzong period. According to archeology, his old residence was in Jing'an Fang and there is a clear epitaph record). Now it has been completely demolished.

This former largest residence in Jing'anfang has now become the exhibition area of ​​the 'Bianjing Academy'.

Walking among them, Wang Xuan felt as if he was a rich man from the countryside entering Beijing for the first time.

I was overwhelmed, at a loss what to do, and even a little scared.

Because it’s so beautiful here!

The snow-white walls are painted extremely smooth and feel very comfortable. If you tap the wall gently, you can clearly hear the sound of masonry.

On the flat floor, there are clean and neat wooden boards.

There are no burrs or bulges, so even if you walk barefoot on the floor, you don't have to worry about your feet getting hurt.

And the furniture displayed in this room opened his eyes even more and he liked it very much.

All the chairs, cabinets, beds, and tables on display have a vermilion appearance.

Touch it gently, it's smooth and cool.

You can also smell a light natural spicy smell in the nasal cavity.

It smells very comfortable!

What surprised him even more was the texture on the surface of these furniture - brown or black wood texture, elegant, fresh, elegant and beautiful.

Compared with these furniture, the lacquerware that he spent a lot of money to build at home is not worth mentioning.

As a native of Bianjing and an old Bianjing—Wang Xuan’s grandfather, when he was in Renmiao, he followed Sun Xiang to serve in Shaanxi and participated in the reform of the Banknote and Salt Law that year!

The banknote salt method was the biggest trend in the Renmiao era - in just a few years, it created a dozen large salt merchants with a fortune of hundreds of thousands of coins.

As someone close to Sun Xiang, Wang Xuan's grandfather also participated in that feast and left a huge fortune to his descendants.

Relying on the property and connections left behind by their grandfather, Wang Xuan's parents truly took root in Bianjing City.

Up to Wang Xuan's generation, the family property Wang Xuan inherited from his father included three Wang Erjia drink shops under the Zhouqiao Bridge and two "Jiuzhu Wang Yuanwai Di Shop" on Ma Xuan Street.

Three rouge shops in Tushizi.

Although he is rich, he still has the legacy of his father and ancestors and the connections can protect him.

However, Wang Xuan always felt that something was missing.

Until he saw the news published in the Bianjing Newspaper.

Only then did Wang Xuan realize what he was missing?

There is no scholar in the family!

Without scholars, no matter how much wealth you have, you may not be able to keep it.

Therefore, almost as soon as Wang Xuan saw the report in the Bianjing Newspaper, he immediately pooled all his family's working capital and registered the number plates of four houses at the Fund Recognition Department of Bianjing University.

He has decided to cultivate a son who is a Jinshi at all costs.

The official from the "Bianjing Academy" Acquisition Department beside Wang Xuan introduced him with a smile: "The house of the 'Bianjing Academy' that Yuanwai Wang has is mostly in the same style as Yuanwai has seen..."

"It's just the size of the residences that vary."

"Currently, all the houses in the 'Bianjing Academy' are uniformly one thousand square feet (approximately three hundred square feet now)..."

"A thousand square feet?" As a businessman, Wang Xuan immediately realized something was wrong and immediately asked: "Is it that big?"

The merchants of the Song Dynasty had an idea of ​​how big a square foot was, and could even measure it visually. No way, silk cloth is also a kind of currency in circulation, and the price of silk cloth is closely related to its size.

How wide and long is a piece of cloth?

Merchants can basically determine it by visual inspection - if you don't even have this skill, there is no need to go out to do business.

Therefore, Wang Xuan took a look with his eyes and found that the total of all the houses he had seen in the exhibition area could not be a thousand square feet.

It has shrunk by at least 30%!

The clerk explained with a smile: "The so-called thousand square feet naturally includes the area of ​​supporting facilities, gardens, elementary schools, and primary schools..."

"So, the actual room size of this house should be about 600 square feet...the remaining 400 square feet are all outside..."

"These are the gardens, landscapes and waterside pavilions that members will enjoy when they live here in the future..."

"It is also a place where children from outside the Communist Party will study in the future..."

"This is a 'public stall'!"

"Um..." Wang Xuan, as a businessman, is very sensitive to numbers.

So he quickly reacted: "Why should I pay for those public stalls?"

This is a typical forced buying and selling!

What kind of gardens, landscapes, waterside pavilions, attics?

Can I not want it?

Also, isn’t the school a supporting facility of Bianjing Academy?

Do I have to pay too?!

But the official seemed to have been prepared for it. He said politely: "You don't have to buy it if you are a member!"

He pointed out: "Commissioner, you can leave now, take the bronze medal and go to the pledge department to refund the money!"

"As long as you pay 10% of the fee, you can get back all the pledged funds."

Bianjing Academy is a fair, open and impartial sales organization.

We will never buy or sell by force, but sell to everyone based on the principle of free coming and going.

No matter who he is - as long as he can afford it, he can buy a house here.

Even, no proof is needed!

It was a place open to the entire Song Dynasty, and to all wealthy people who wanted to send their children to study and find a way out for their children and grandchildren.

Here, only money is accepted.

The official thought about the training he had received these days and looked at the crowds of people that were coming.

The inner confidence is extremely sufficient.

Note, in order to sell a house.

Bianjing Xinbao started building momentum early.

Some people even took the Bianjing New Paper and sent it to Luoyang, Damingfu, Taiyuan, Yingtianfu, Yingchangfu and other places where the wealthy people of the Song Dynasty gathered - if not for too little time, they would even send it to Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Zhenzhou in the south.

,Runzhou,Jiangning.

In order to attract the rich people from all over the Song Dynasty to Bianjing.

By the way, these people are also allowed to enter Beijing with the wealth they have accumulated over generations.

It is said that this is an opportunity given by officials in person.

It is also a grand strategy of today's officials, called: strengthening the capital.

Now it seems that the effect is remarkable.

This is because the Street Department recently discovered many wealthy businessmen in Bianjing who came to Beijing with accents from other places.

But after these people entered Beijing, they discovered today that they need to raise funds to buy the house in Bianjing University.

So, now outside Jing'an Square, there are a lot of people queuing up to pay!

Wang Xuan listened, but was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Buy! Of course I want to buy it!"

No matter the cost, we must cultivate a son who is a Jinshi!

and……

Wang Xuan looked at the people walking in and out around him.

At the same time, I also listened to the noise coming from the lottery office outside.

His attitude was extremely firm.

purchase!

Must buy!

You have to buy even if you are trying to sell iron!

Because no one knows whether such good things will happen after the Bianjing Academy in Jing'anfang?

So, Wang Xuan asked: "How much does the house here cost?"

The official smiled and said: "Exceptor, this Bianjing Academy is outside Donghua Gate, located in the old city of Bianjing, adjacent to the Imperial City. There are both Dawa Temple and Panlou Street nearby. When you leave the door, you can go to Dongxiang Imperial Palace. Street, it can be said to be the best location in Bianjing!"

Wang Xuan nodded and agreed with this.

Although in the past, Jing'anfang was the most chaotic and complicated place in the entire old city of Bianjing, so housing prices have not been able to rise.

But the past is the past.

Now, Jing'anfang has been completely pushed down, and all the old alleys and shanties have been demolished.

The ditches and sewers that used to have a foul smell were all cleaned up and then filled up.
