When the subject of buying a house in Chang'an City was mentioned, Liu Yuan immediately became interested and interrupted: "How? How many years does Master Wen still have before he can buy a house in Chang'an City?"

As soon as Wen Mingtang said this, before Wen Mingtang could say anything, Tang Yuan, who was holding a small face across from him, sighed: "A few years is not enough, let's go up to ten years!" As he said, he opened up the chatterbox, "If you want to find a position, you won't have to worry about it.

For those who are far away, coming to the Yamen every day is like going out to the city. There are police patrols, and there are less chaos and troubles. Even if it is a dilapidated house, I am afraid it will take us this long to save enough money to buy the house. Furthermore,

If there are more twists and turns, you will have to borrow more, and friends and relatives will be generous and don’t ask for interest. It will take many years to pay it off, not to mention that if you don’t borrow enough, you will have to find something else.

There’s a solution.”

As soon as the words "other ways" came out, Liu Yuan immediately said, "It's best to touch less money with high interest rates. Those who make compound profits cannot bear it."

Tangyuan nodded, looking at Wen Mingtang who was frowning and thinking in the side over the calculated accounts, he sighed and said: "Recently, the price of houses has risen faster than I thought, but in the past few years, listen to me

Dad said that prices don’t rise very much, and have even dropped for a few years. It would have been better if I had met Master Wen a few years earlier.”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Caimai, who was taking notes, stopped what he was doing, looked at Tang Yuan and shook his head, saying: "You kid, everyone doesn't understand. The price of houses has dropped in those few years, but...

It’s not a good thing!”

Bai Zhu, who was chewing rice cakes on the side, nodded and said, "It's indeed not a good thing!"

The reason why home prices fell in those years was because many people in the city sold their homes in Chang'an at a low price and left Chang'an.

Countless prosperous people in this world are so proud to see the prosperity of the capital, so... why did they sell their homes in Chang'an at a low price and leave Chang'an? It's not that the late emperor allowed the immortal masters to do whatever they wanted in the past few years, and many people died.

Seeing that his relatives and neighbors were being affected for no reason, he was afraid that the fire would burn him, and he would be dead if he ran away at that time, so he sold his house and ran away in advance?

Fortunately, Xu had been practicing immortality for many years. God saw that the late emperor was really pious and simply took him away earlier. If not, there would really have been a big mess.

Now that the price has gone up, it is precisely because the people think that the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a good thing that they have come back. Of course, like this... the price of houses has risen so fast, for Wen Mingtang and others who want to buy a house in the city, it is probably too much

It was a lot more difficult.

Of course, it is better not to mention the late emperor's affairs in private. Bai Zhu only mentioned it probably because many people who left Chang'an came back.

Tang Yuan and Ah Bing hadn’t thought so much about it, but after hearing this, they sighed with slumped faces: “I thought I had a lot of work with Master Wen this year, and the takeout stall is doing pretty well, so this is really promising.

Buy a house by yourself so that you can show it off to your family later. Now, I'm afraid I can buy a restaurant or something, but buying a house will take a long time."

Ji Caimai, who had completely settled the accounts over there, showed the accounts to the three of them. According to the rules he had set when he went out to the takeout stall, even though he could not buy a house, by the end of the year, the three of them and Ji Caimai would have a sum of money.

Small income.

"The business of our takeout stall is good, but we still need to change the rules at the Internal Affairs Yamen," Ji Caimai said, pointing outside, and said, "It would be best if we could give you a seat outside the Yamen.

Word of mouth is not widespread enough, and many people are resistant to entering the Yamen. It is still somewhat difficult to spread the word."

"Also, the ingredients provided by Zhuangzi are not enough." Ah Bing continued, "Although Ji Caimai said hello, Zhuangzi only gave me more food than the official chef usually gave me, so he couldn't cook much food."

These are all problems, but they are not without room for improvement. The most important thing is...

"It doesn't matter if you take the holiday to take up private work. If you drive outside like this, it's like starting a new business. It will definitely be troublesome to open up the joints." Wen Mingtang shook his head and said.

This is the most important thing. It took a lot of hard work to set up a takeout stall. It is not easy to get the internal affairs yamen to open the door and allow a seat outside the yamen.

"Let's take this matter slowly!" Ji Caimai also felt a little pity, but he did not give up. He only said to Wen Mingtang, "When the day comes, I'm afraid there will be a lot of food to cook. Those pots made by Master Wen

I'm afraid one or two pairs are not enough. Let's practice it first and be able to handle it, then think about it again!"

Wen Mingtang nodded, said "Yeah", and continued to look down at the money on the account book. He was planning to use some of the money to buy two new clothes for himself when he released the money at the end of the new year. When he heard Liu Yuan ask Ji Caimai who was standing aside.

He inquired about the news: "Ji Caimai is an acquaintance at the Internal Affairs Office..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Caimai rolled his eyelids and raised his hand to stop Liu Yuan: "Stop, I know what you want to do." After saying that, he paused and continued without waiting for Liu Yuan to speak.

, "You're asking me to find a way to use my connections to find out about things like Mao Guanshi and Niu Guanshi, right?"

Liu Yuan nodded, and just as he was about to say something flattering to Ji Caimai, he saw Ji Caimai wave his hand and said, "It's useless!"

"I originally wanted to go to the Internal Affairs Yamen to talk about getting a seat outside the Yamen, but before I could talk, I asked the stewards who were close to me to stop me. Because of the hair tube

As for the death of the matter, the higher-ups of the Internal Affairs Office have received the news and they are not allowed to talk nonsense. Even my case is not clear.

All related matters have been blocked." As Ji Caimai said, he glanced at Liu Yuandong Bai Zhu, who was moving his lips in the room and seemed to want to talk. After thinking about it, he simply summed up the several stewards with whom he had good relations.

What he said came out, "I advise you not to think about it anymore. It is Concubine Jing in the palace who prevents the internal affairs office from meddling in the case."

When the name "Concubine Jing" was introduced, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu were about to continue questioning, and Wen Mingtang said: "Then it would be best to bypass the internal affairs office and use other methods to investigate the case."

Nowadays, the Dali Temple Yamen is so ruthless in investigating old cases. This may be due to the friendship between Lin Fei and the new emperor back then, but friendship and other things are secondary. The most important thing is because the new emperor wants to clean up what the former emperor did.

Trouble left behind.

Therefore, they rely on His Majesty. But the emperor is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires. Some people are so proud that they can let the people below him take a detour.

"Your Majesty is the son of the late Emperor's wife. The late Emperor came here and made his wife angry, so he left early. Later, his sister-in-law, who is now Concubine Jing, entered the palace," Wen Mingtang said, "When I was in the palace, I heard

They said that there was a lot of chaos in the palace at that time, and for fear that His Majesty, who was young, would be murdered, Concubine Jing abandoned her childhood sweetheart fiancé, broke off the engagement, and gave up herself in order to enter the palace and take care of His Majesty."

"Concubine Jing has no children, and she treats Your Majesty as her own child. She has been protecting Your Majesty all those years, and His Majesty also regards Concubine Jing as his biological mother." Wen Mingtang said, "Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, although he is frugal, Concubine Jing

But there is a special place, called the concubine, and the treatment and other things are the Queen Mother's expense. When I was in the palace, I heard that although Your Majesty is infatuated, there is only one queen in the harem, but Feng Yin, who is in charge of the harem and the internal affairs of the palace, is actually in the palace.

From Concubine Jing’s place.”

This Concubine Jing Xu was suppressed by the late Emperor for many years, and she was holding back her anger. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he took over the control of the harem as well as the internal affairs of the palace.

Of course, how well they did, Wen Mingtang didn't know the specific situation because he left the palace early. But I think His Majesty has released many people in the palace, so it shouldn't be that difficult to manage them.
