Today it seemed that Ye An was wandering around Tokyo with Miaozhen and others, but in fact he was "wandering" in the most prosperous place, and he wanted to find the most suitable place to open a store.
It is good to have a prosperous location, but there is also a problem. There are so many shops on an overly prosperous street that it will inevitably be difficult for people to choose.
Especially on Nanmen Street next to the Daxiangguo Temple, there are many restaurants, and large and small main stores are clustered together. This is not a good phenomenon.
If you want to open a shop here, you must have enough signage to stand up, otherwise the Song people with tricky tastes will not visit your shop.
The best place to take a break from the bustle is the shops around Daxiangguo Temple. The shops here are relatively quiet and very elegant.
The monks of Daxiangguo Temple are not stupid either. Only those shops that can get on the market can rent their buildings.
For example, tea shops, incense shops, or shops selling elegant things, such as chess boards, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques.
This is a smart approach, which has improved the cultural environment of the entire Daxiangguo Temple. Of course, during the Wan surname trade, everything was sold around the Daxiangguo Temple, which is considered inclusive.
For Ye An, this place perfectly fits his definition of a tavern. At present, there are no taverns in the Song Dynasty that sell all kinds of drinks.
For people in the Song Dynasty, they either went to eat in a foot shop and asked the waiter to sell wine in the main shop, or drank the wine brewed exclusively in the main shop.
Ye An's method was relatively simple and crude, using more types and flavors to meet the needs of Song people for wine. Eating wine was no longer simply eating wine, but tasting wine.
Isn’t one word difference so much more elegant?
As for the Daxiangguo Temple, it is an excellent place, at least for Ye An, it agrees with all his requirements for a store.
If you want to rent a shop next to Dasangokuji Temple, the first step is not to find a monk, but to find a middle-aged man. If you ask what is the most popular place in Tokyo besides the main restaurants for eating, it is tantamount to "real estate agency".
"Yes.
Due to the prosperity of the market, the leasing and buying and selling of shops are extremely frequent. The rich and the poor have no fixed status, and the land and houses have no fixed owners. Don’t underestimate the housing prices in this era. Most officials in Tokyo cannot afford to buy a house!
"In a heavy city, under two towers, every inch of land is worth the same price as gold." This is not just talk.
The reason for this situation is not that house sellers deliberately raise housing prices, but that there are too few circulating houses on the market...
Ye An looked at the wooden signs in the dental market. It was almost difficult to find people who were selling houses. They were all renting houses. The reason for this situation was the weird restriction system of "Zhao Er".
Although Zhao Er was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, people understood a truth thousands of years ago, "A house is for living in!"
In order to regulate private private real estate transactions and limit vicious speculation, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the formulation of house purchase laws: If you want to sell your own property, you must first ask within your own boundaries.
If no one cares about it, go to the neighbors and wait until all the people have signed and pledged "according to the account" and the neighbors express "approval to return", then you can sell it.
Based on the interpersonal relationship and the consumption level of your neighbors, when you first sell to your neighbors, the selling price is likely to be lower than the market price, unless your neighbors all lie for you and set up a trap, but it is very difficult. Once someone is reported, everyone will
You have to go to court.
If you don't ask your relatives and neighbors, and they discover that a new person lives in your house, they can file a complaint with the government within one year and request that the house be redeemed at the original price and re-sold in order of relatives and neighbors.
Unless there is a natural disaster and your relatives and neighbors have fled to other places, you are in urgent need of money and cannot ask for it, so you have to sell your house. At the same time, there are witnesses who have signed and pledged, there is a sales contract, and the tax payment official seal of the government office, the government will not allow it.
Investigate.
You also have to be convinced that this system limits real estate speculation to the greatest extent.
Unless forced to do so, who would sell their house at a low price?
No matter what your status is, when it comes to selling a house, you must be courteous to your tribe and neighbors in order to get their signatures. After passing the "asking relatives and neighbors" step, the buyer and seller can sign the contract.
Although this restricts real estate speculation, it also makes housing scarce and prices naturally higher.
Of course, you don’t need to go to a government office to buy, sell or rent a house in Tokyo, because Fang Ya is present when the contract is signed. Although Fang Ya is not an official, he can play a big role in the transaction.
These people are both intermediaries, guarantees, appraisers, and agents. They also serve as tax inspectors, responsible for urging home buyers to pay taxes...
And you can't bypass the fang-ya barrier, because since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a system of requiring fang-ya protection, and it was inherited again in the Song Dynasty.
In other words, there must be someone to guarantee the transaction between the buyer and the seller, otherwise it will be regarded as theft...
Even if Ye An wants to rent the shop in Daxiangguo Temple, he still needs to use Fang Ya as a guarantee. As for Ye An's proposal to buy the shop.
The beard on Lao Fangya's chin trembled, and he burst out laughing when he saw Ye An's serious expression: "Xiao Langjun, do you really not know the rules in Tokyo, or are you deliberately making fun of me? This is from Da Xiangguo Temple.
It doesn’t matter whether the shop is for sale or not, even if it is for sale, you have to be able to afford it!”
Seeing the two fingers stretched out by Lao Fangya, Ye An gave up the idea of buying a house. He joked that one finger was one thousand guan, which was far more than the value of the house itself.
It seems that no matter in which era, housing prices are not a luxury item that ordinary people can afford...
Lao Fangya licked the tip of the brush, looked Ye An up and down and said, "What is the purpose of renting this shop?"
"Selling wine."
"Selling wine?!" Fang Ya looked at Ye An up and down in surprise, and then said: "It turns out to be the yamen, and the young man is neglecting him."
In Lao Fangya's opinion, at Ye An's age and wearing a royal robe, he must be in the yamen of some big company that owns a wine brand.
He didn't know that Ye An was really poor. He didn't dare to touch the thousand gu given by Wang Hao. The money for opening the store was all earned from the grain he sold in Yangcheng County.
Even the brocade clothes on his body were given to him by the Wang family after he became a disciple of Wang Yuan.
Lao Fangya spoke again: "I wonder where Xiao Langjun lives? Is it similar to the eminent monks of Xiangguo Temple? Can there be an agreement in advance?"
Without Ye An opening his mouth, the Wang Gang next to him stepped forward and said, "My young man is a disciple of Mr. Guanmiao from Shangqing Palace, and he has an old relationship with Monk Kongkong of Daxiangguo Temple!"
Now Fang Ya became angry and said coldly: "Although I say I am old, I am not confused. If I want to play tricks on you, I am looking for the wrong person!"
"How come you, an old killer, are talking to my young master? How can you still pretend to be Mr. Guanmiao's disciple? Monk Kongkong still wants to be my young master as his teacher!"
Tieniu's temper got worse, and when he saw Lao Fangya looking down on others, he immediately became furious.
But Lao Fangya didn't accept his trick. He had obviously experienced a lot of storms and waves, and said with a sneer: "I'm not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue! Monk Kongkong is an eminent monk of Daxiangguo Temple, and he worships Xiao Langjun as his teacher? What a joke?"
!”
Ye An waved his hand to stop Tieniu and the Wang Gang who were about to come forward to argue. No one would believe anything he said now. He turned to the Wang Gang and ordered: "Go and invite Monk Kongkong to come over now. As for this old man,
, how about we go check out the store first? Regardless of whether you know Monk Kongkong or not, this store will eventually be rented!"
Lao Fangya obviously had a very professional ethics. He snorted and stepped forward to lead the way……
