The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Know your identity and be honest in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the government will not side with you just because you are foreigners. Instead,...

How dare a mere foreigner make trouble in the Central Plains?

Do you not take the Heavenly Khan seriously?

Are the people under the rule of the Heavenly Khan also people you can offend?

"It has been many years since Chang'an City has been as lively as it is now." Sun Simiao sighed.

The nobles sitting in the front row, such as Li Fu, have tickets in their hands and have a special entrance. They don't need to squeeze with those outside.

There are already many carriages parked outside the arena. Fortunately, after the construction around the venue was completed, the surroundings were all cleared. There is no problem with parking carriages in a large open space.

However, this is also because the war with the north has just ended and the Tang Dynasty has won. The people in Chang'an City are still those who originally lived in the city, and the people who enter the city from the surrounding areas.

Chang'an City has just entered its development cycle.

With more and more people, the demand for housing will be higher and higher.

If you want to live in Chang'an City for a long time, you must have a house, right? You can't always stay in an inn.

The price of the inn in Chang'an City is not low at this time.

If you want to build a house, you need land.

The large tracts of vacant land or the abandoned dilapidated houses have become popular now.

There are many people who go to the government every day to do this.

But the people in the government can't do anything.

It was ownerless before, but later, these vacant lands and dilapidated ownerless houses were checked and registered by the government.

Later, they were all bought by people.

In other words, most of the fragmented land has owners, and you can't buy it even if you come to the government.

As for those large unowned lands where one or two markets were vacant, the government dared not sell them. They were all in the hands of the court. They might be useful in the future, but they had no say.

From the ninth year of Wude, it was the Jingyang Palace that began to buy land and houses in Chang'an City.

In the Wude years, the Turks in the north were eyeing Chang'an City covetously and would go south to scare people at any time, and the people in Chang'an City were also panicked.

At that time, even the court officials wanted to avoid the Turks' front, and there was no confidence that they could defend Chang'an City.

Not to mention the people.

At that time, who would think of buying land, houses, and shops in Chang'an City?

The real reason was to rush to sell the industries in Chang'an City.

Because they also knew that once Chang'an City was given up, it would not be easy to get it back in the future.

Officials are like this, and the people below will also observe the situation and listen to the wind. Who doesn't have relatives or friends? They can always find some connections by going around in circles.

For example, who's younger brother's brother-in-law's second uncle's son-in-law is a servant in a wealthy family, and what news is circulating in that mansion, let him bring it out.

It is said that the landlords are starting to want to transfer their property and want to go south.

What Turks have already fought there, and the officials in the court are having a headache because of this.

The Tang Dynasty can't beat them, it can't beat them at all.

There are many such remarks.

Do the people believe it?

Of course they believe it.

Since the war in the Central Plains and the separatist regimes, the northern Turks have to be treated with respect, otherwise their cavalry will go south, and the people's lives will be miserable, and the court will not be able to cope with it.

There was a war in the east, a war in the south, and troops had to be divided to deal with the north.

It was impossible to win, it was impossible to win at all.

Sitting together for a meal and chatting about major events was also a topic that the people had been talking about since ancient times, regardless of status.

Anyway, it was just chatting.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was trapped in the grassland.

At that time, the world was not yet a time for heroes to rise up. Although the emperor was rescued, didn’t there end up being a large-scale war?

Did Emperor Yang of Sui not want to fight? Didn’t he want to save face?

At that time, the houses and land in Chang’an City were really cheap.

All cheap to Li Fu.

There was some spare money in the mansion, and Lao Zhao took it to buy houses and land in Chang’an City, the East and West Markets, and the shops by the Qujiang Lake!

It was a generous move.

Otherwise, when Li Fu got married, he showed Li Shao the box containing the house deeds, and Li Shao would not be so shocked.

Just these things alone, there are two big boxes.

Two big boxes!

That's how many!

I can't even count them.

The shops in the East and West Markets are now gradually starting to operate in the Jingyang Palace.

The small shops are rented out.

At this time, there are people who go out to collect rent every month in the palace in Chang'an City..

For the medium-sized shops, Lao Zhao kept some and rented out some.

For the large shops, he kept them all in his own hands for the time being.

That’s how the two teahouses were opened.

The shop in front of the teahouse is three-story, with a large yard in the back, which is just enough for use.

The soap shop that was opened last year was all put to use.

Lao Zhao was thinking that if he kept them, he would rather lose some rent money every year than have nothing when his husband wanted to use them on a whim.

So he kept them for now.

Moreover, the large shops that he kept in his hands were not affordable for ordinary merchants to rent.

The shops in the east and west markets of Chang’an City were basically run by aristocratic families and wealthy families.

Most of them would not choose to rent shops. Those that could be opened, including the shops and people, were all pure self-owned businesses, and all the deeds were in their own hands, so they could feel at ease.

The situation now is different from the past.

Before the fourth year of Zhenguan, the real estate industry in Chang'an was dead.

But after the fourth year of Zhenguan, it was going to take off.

The Turks in the north were solved by the Tang Dynasty, and Chang'an was completely safe.

Look at the crowds of people in Chang'an.

But for the business of houses, land and shops, it would be too late to enter the market when you know that the price of these things will increase.

Before this year, hoarding them in your hands would make money.

But if you buy them now, let alone whether you can buy them, even if you buy them, how much can you make?

The bulk of the money is in the hands of the court.

The rest of the meat is in the hands of the Jingyang Palace.

For others, even if they want to make money, the rest is just some soup.

Seeing such a scene, Li Fu can even consider doing real estate in Chang'an.

What a high-end community, quiet in the bustling city.

What home you dream of, blooming here, every brick and tile, tells of quality and craftsmanship,

Core location, secluded space, super large scale, exquisite architecture.

Even outside Chang'an City, the surrounding areas are OK.

Modern living concept, work in the city, live in the suburbs.

It depends on how you brag, everything is good.

For example, by the Qujiang Lake, do it.

The beautiful scenery of the lake is in front of you, with the lake as your neighbor, and nature as your companion, bathing in the lake light, close to nature.

Doesn't this fascinate a lot of young men who are engaged in literature?

Especially those in teahouses.

As for bragging, I don't accept anything else, but I really accept the real estate developers.

Let alone the Qujiang Lake.

Even if there is a stinky ditch in front of the door, it can be described to you to make you yearn for it.

What a rare waterfront residence, upwind and upwater.

Just this, you can taste it.

It's like a fucking jargon. Once you understand it, you'll know what you can buy and what you can't buy.

Li Fu and Sun Simiao walked towards the entrance. There weren't many people going through this entrance, but there were a lot of carriages at the entrance.

How can we expect the nobles to walk here on their own?

So, we still have to wait at the door.

"With so many people in Chang'an City, it's not easy for this area to be vacant." Sun Simiao looked around.

"It has to be empty. This stadium can accommodate so many people, and admission and dismissal are both problems. This was considered when it was built." Li Fu explained, "Once there is a problem in the stadium, this stadium, with more than a dozen entrances, can quickly evacuate people inside to avoid crowding and trampling. So even if there are more people in Chang'an City in the future, this empty space will not be moved."

"When the stadium is idle, the surrounding area will be paved with bluestone slabs." Li Fu said, "This is a safe area. Building houses or sheds is absolutely not allowed."

"There are more than During the competition, at the edge of the safe zone, that is, the area that is a little further away. "Li Fu pointed to the outside and showed Sun Simiao: "That part can be left for the people to set up stalls. Before entering, buy some food and drinks to bring with you."

"This way, they can also create some opportunities to make money."

"A venue can accommodate so many people. There will be many competitions every year, and there will be many people watching the excitement. It will drive small businesses around. This is a good thing."

A venue can please too many people, from dignitaries to ordinary people.

The rich spend more money, and the poor spend less money. The same game brings the same happiness.

Of course, this is when they don't have a private bet.

How they play privately is out of their control.

When gambling, there are wins and losses, and watching the game again, the mentality is different.

Li Fu doesn't believe that he can still be happy after losing the bet."Master Sun, once this venue opens, it will be a good thing for the people of Chang'an City." Li Fu said.

It is mainly to promote consumption and promote economic circulation.

Although it is only a point in Chang'an City, the radiation area is only Chang'an City and its surrounding areas.

But this is just the beginning, a successful example.

There are many familiar people waiting in line outside.

They are all powerful people in Chang'an City, and they know each other and some are familiar with each other.

It was Li Fu's turn to come to the door. The people at the door checked the tickets in Li Fu's hand, and the people in the palace searched everyone.

Even fire sticks cannot be brought in, let alone weapons.

Therefore, Wu Liangye and his brothers left a brother outside to guard the carriage, and they unloaded all the small things on their bodies and put them on the carriage for the time being.

The venue was guarded by the Jinwu Guards in the palace, and the guards in the palace were also arranged to patrol continuously.

Safety must be guaranteed.

After all, there were many dignitaries in the venue, even the emperor, his majesty and the empress would come.

How could they not pay attention to safety?

Only Li Shimin's direct troops and guards could carry weapons in the venue.

For the rest, if anyone dared to disobey the rules, a big hat would be put on them and they would die.

After entering the venue, everyone was even more shocked by the situation inside the venue.

The venue was not small, and the huge empty space in the middle was where polo was played.

There were seats around.

They were on the second floor, with a good view and not far from the venue.

The second floor had four sides, while the first floor had three sides, and one side was a preparation area reserved for the polo teams on both sides.

There were rooms on both sides of the passageway to the back of that area for rest and preparation.

The first floor was not as good as the second floor because of its height and view.

So the second floor had the best location and the most expensive price.

Many people have already taken their seats in the venue, and there are also many patrolling Jinwu Guards, maintaining order in various areas. Once they find someone making trouble or not looking for a seat according to the ticket, they will be asked to leave directly.

The number of Jinwu Guards is sufficient.

Under their supervision, no one dares to act rashly.

There are more than a dozen entrances, and people are still entering continuously.

"I have lived for so many years, and today, I have really opened my eyes." Sun Simiao looked at the scene in front of him and sighed constantly.

"There will be many new things in Chang'an City in the future." Li Fu smiled and said, "It is the best choice for the Taoist priest to stay in Chang'an."

Sun Simiao shook his head when he heard this.

"It's hard for me to make any progress if I just stay in one place. I will go out again in the future." Sun Simiao said, "However, I will go out for a while and come back to repair, and repeat this cycle."

"Since I went to your manor, I know that my previous secluded life can no longer continue."

Sun Simiao had a smile on his face when he said this.

This is positive and positive.

Not secluded, coming out again, in the manor, in the academy, he can do more than he led people to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Li Fu and Sun Simiao sat in the front seats, while Shitou and Wu Liangye sat on the benches behind them.

This small area is relatively independent compared to the row seats in the back.

Although there are people on both sides, there is still a small path in the middle.

Li Fu is not familiar with the people sitting on both sides, but it seems that they should also be favors sent by Li Yuan.

The relationship between the two families and the emperor was quite good.

The two families on both sides also saw Li Fu sitting down with a Taoist priest.

They wanted to approach him to talk, but they were a little timid.

They had no contact with each other on weekdays, so it was a bit presumptuous to approach him to talk.

But sitting together, watching a polo match, and chatting for a few words was also normal, right?

At first, no one took this half-way prince seriously.

But when the current emperor ascended the throne, this Jingyang Prince was even more extraordinary.
