Faced with rising rents year after year, young people who have just entered society will secretly swear that one day they will own their own houses in the city;
For the sake of children's learning, middle-aged people always pay attention to real estate information and consider where to change to enter a better school district.
Chinese's life is circling around the house.
Would the ancients have an easier time buying a house?
The Song Dynasty was the most economically prosperous dynasty in Chinese history and the richest people's lives.
Some screenshots of the "Qingming River Map", the crowds on the street, and the crowded stalls on both sides of the bridge are silently reflecting the prosperity of Beijing in that year
The Song Dynasty did not impose restrictions on population movement, and the urban population exceeded 20%. The Northern Song Dynasty capital Kaifeng is the world's largest and most populous city.
Let's take a look at the "home" journey of the people of Kaifeng at that time.

For example, in the case of "kai drift", craftsmen work for a day, but they get dozens of yuan, while small traders pay more than 100 yuan a day. Such a level of wages is only enough to feed and feed.
You know, the price of pork at that time was almost 100 yuan and 1 catty.
Of course, the "Kai drifters" can not afford to buy a house, according to research, the price of the most ordinary and remote houses near the city wall of Kaifeng Province is also nearly 180 yuan (1 yuan is about equal to 1000 yuan).
How do they solve the problem?
Generally, laborers who work for others should provide group dormitories, but this only applies to single young people, and once they start a family, they will definitely have to move out of the single.
"Zhakou Pan Car Map", now in the Shanghai Museum, depicts the daily work of craftsmen in the early Song Dynasty of the five generations, and many of the characters appearing on the pictures are "drifting"
There are many houses available for rent in Kaifeng Province, such as "so-and-so", "so-and-so", "so-and-so", etc. Moreover, the government has built and mastered a large number of public rental housing, and set up a full-time real estate management agency directly under the central government, "shop housework". The monthly rent of ordinary houses is about less than 200 yuan to rent 1 room, and as long as the couple works hard, they can at least settle in Kaifeng Province.

If you win the examination and become an official, can you realize the freedom to buy a house?
Not necessarily.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, su Song, an astronomer and pharmacologist, performed well as a local official and was recruited into the imperial court to serve as a surveyor of the Tangguan Pavilion of the Dali Temple, responsible for proofreading ancient books. This position has almost six to seven pins, and the monthly salary is 17 consecutive.
He spends a third of his monthly salary paying rent and raising horses. Therefore, it is estimated that the number of houses per month is about 4.
This is very much in line with the basic monthly expenses of a white-collar worker today. According to the conversion of gold as the basic bit, the Song Dynasty has always been about about 1600 yuan now. Su Song's monthly salary is 27200 yuan, 6400 yuan is used to rent a house, and 2560 yuan is used to refuel and maintain the scooter, which is very frugal.
But even if you can save 18,000 yuan a month, pay the high food and beverage expenses of Kaifeng Province, the cost of supporting the family, and pay the salaries of servants, there is not much money to buy real estate.
Su Song's former residence, his ancestral home, is located in Datong Town, Tong'an District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, and his former residence covers an area of 1,700 square meters and is very open compared to the tight pockets in Kaifeng
During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song, Hu Zongyu, who was then the emperor of the imperial history, temporarily rented a house in Kaifeng Province, and the rent was 18 yuan.
Yushi Zhongcheng was an official position from Sanpin, and according to research, the Yushi Dafu from Erpin was about 60 consecutive per month. According to this estimate, Hu Zongyu could receive a salary of about 40-50 yuan per month at that time, and the imperial court would regularly distribute grain, cloth and daily necessities.
Hu Zongyu saved a few years of money to buy a compact high-end house worth 500 yuan. However, in order to meet the status of senior officials of the imperial court, their residences often need to be more luxurious, so it is not uncommon for senior officials in the Northern Song Dynasty to spend thousands of yuan to buy a house.
According to this point of view, if you want to live in Kaifeng Province, "Tangchen Erpin" and "Kaifeng Courtyard", unless you are originally a rich second generation and an official second generation, you can only rely on windfall.

In the overhead TV series "Do You Know It or Not, It Should Be Green Fat Red Skinny" set in the Northern Song Dynasty, the protagonist Gu Tingye saved the car, and the emperor rewarded him with a 90-acre (about 60,000-square-meter) Chengyuan Garden. How big can Chengyuan be, the old woman who works in the yard has something to say:
I wish everyone a house that can't go to the end
Although the TV series is a fictional plot, the historical case of the emperor giving the house to his beloved minister is not an isolated case.
During the Taiping Revival period, Song Taizong visited the home of Fu Chuzhaofu, then privy councillor and inspector, and saw that his house was too small, so he ordered the relevant departments to expand his house. However, Chu Zhaofu believed that the expansion would encroach on the people's fields and insisted that he did not want to do so.
"Russia asked for a complaint with a foot disease, and the emperor himself came to ask. With the pass in which he lived, he had the order of Si Guangzhi, and Zhao Fu was worried about invading the people's land, and he was unwilling to rule. Di Jia Qiyi, gave Platinum Ten Thousand Two, Ling Bei Shi Di. ——" History of the Song Dynasty, Vol. 257, Liechuan XVI
Song Taizong was very pleased, so he changed to a simpler and more brutal method: reward silver and let him buy another big house to live in.
The big guy is the big guy, and the way to reward people is so straightforward
Chu Zhaofu was a founding hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the position of privy councillor he held at that time was from Yipin, and he also served as the "title" of ZhengYipin's Taifu, which was indeed worthy of the reward of Emperor Taizong of Song.
Above such a high position, only members of the royal family are left.
Princess Fukang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Renzong of Song, was so beloved by Emperor Renzong that she was crowned Princess of Yanguo at the age of 20, becoming the first princess in the history of the Song Dynasty to have a canonized title.
In the TV series "Qing Ping Le", the prototype of the princess Zhao Huirou played by Ren Min is Princess Fukang
When Princess Fukang got married, Song Renzong sent a rich dowry to his precious daughter, not only after marriage, but also enjoyed thousands of monthly salaries per month, which was equivalent to the offerings of the crown prince at that time, and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a princess house, "the first fee, hundreds of thousands of dollars", it seems that Song Renzong is also a veritable "daughter slave".

However, the real estate bubble of the Song Dynasty was also very frightening. Su Rui, one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", was even reviled at the end of Song Zhezong and the early days of Emperor Huizong of Song, and was very depressed, so he sold the property he bought in Kaifeng in the early days, worth more than 9,000 yuan. According to the gold standard mentioned above, it is 14.4 million yuan!
When I saw this number, my expression was as above
Like us ordinary people, Su Rui, who settled in Xuzhou in his later years, was grumpy about the fact that he did not have a real estate, and was very emotional when he saw his colleague Li Li build a 30-room house:
"I have no house at the age of seventy, and I am in chaos... It is better for the king's family to gain the strength of the people, and it will be thirty rooms." ——Su Rui, "Luan Cheng Ji · Three Episodes"
It was as if I saw an old man on crutches, standing in front of the door of someone else's newly built mansion full of envy.
Later, the old man was very dissatisfied with losing, and he scattered his family wealth that year and built more than 100 large houses. I don't know if after it is built, I will call Li Li triumphantly and show off to him.
Li Li: You don't have to
It seems that no matter which dynasty you reincarnate into, Chinese cannot escape the fate of pursuing the house...
