Ouyang repaired the rent, Su Zhe cried poor, how difficult was it to buy a house in the Song Dynasty

If you live in the Song Dynasty, it is too difficult to buy a house, because the housing prices in the Song Dynasty are so high that some people have calculated that if you are just an ordinary person, you can make money by working, and it will take 150 years to buy a house without eating or drinking.

It was very difficult to buy a house in the Song Dynasty, because the housing prices in the Song Dynasty were particularly high, and ordinary people could not afford to buy it for hundreds of years, including literati.

It's hard for people to buy a house now because the house prices are too high. So was it easy for people to buy a house in ancient times? Let's talk about this. Let me give you a very famous example, Bai Juyi.

In our current words, Bai Juyi is to work in the capital and buy a house in the suburbs. Bai Juyi, as a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, is a ninth-level official position, which is equivalent to our current section-level cadres who also hold the iron rice bowl of civil servants. The salary is not low, but it is precisely because of this that he saved money for more than ten years and bought a house in Weinan, Shaanxi Province, which he needs.

As you can imagine, housing prices were also very high back then. It was not easy for the ancients to buy a house.

Another example is Su Xun. After Su Xun took office, he bought a garden villa in the capital Kaifeng. Ah, how much?

The villa he bought at that time was 8,000 yuan, and his salary at that time was only 7 yuan, which meant that he bought a house without eating or drinking for the rest of his life. Taking the three poems of Du Fu, Han Yu, and Bai Juyi as examples, it can be seen that people in ancient times had a lot of pressure to buy a house. After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu moved for refuge four times.

Eventually, he built a thatched hut in Chengdu that could neither keep the wind nor the rain out.

If Du Fu's move is a move, it does not represent the general trend, then Han Yu's "Thirty Years of Difficulty, There Is This Home" can also explain some of the situation. He is the head of the Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. He worked for thirty years before buying a house.

The great poet Bai Juyi also wrote "In the spring of 20 years in Kyoto, the poor are nowhere to be poor", and in the capital for 20 years, there is still no house. It can be said that housing prices are a problem both in ancient times and in modern times. It's not easy to buy a house now, and it's not easy for the ancients to buy a house.

Because he doesn't have any money. Everything** fluctuates, but the land has always ......Su Zhe is an official, and he is meager, of course, he is worried about buying a house. Su Zhe wrote in the poem, "I don't have a house for a long time, and the sons think it's a word."

Until the third year of Yuanfu, after Su Zhe returned to Xuchang, Henan Province to settle down, he ruthlessly took out the salary he had saved for most of his life, sold a batch of books, and spent several years to buy "Bian's house", "East Neighbor Garden" and "South Garden Bamboo", and rebuilt and expanded, and placed a large courtyard with more than 100 rooms, and settled the whole family. However, his wish was satisfied, and his life savings were exhausted, "Anzhong is about to run out, and the gold in the middle is also gone", so he blamed himself for "I am too old to measure myself", and at this age, I still come to be a house slave.

The ancients must have been worried about the difficulty of buying a house, because no matter what era, housing prices are very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them. Although Su Zhe is an official, he has very few money, and he also needs a lot of money in his usual life, and he has no more money to buy a house, which is also very normal. Just like a lot of people can't afford to buy a house now.

Although Su Zhe was an official in the court, his income was meager, and he was not enough money to buy a house, and the economic situation in ancient times was not very good.

Of course, in ancient times, the housing prices in the city were also very high, and if it was the capital or several big cities, the housing prices were even higher, because the rich people were here.

The Su brothers are the Song Dynasty, and one of the big problems of the Song Dynasty is that there are too many soldiers, but there are few people, and the number of people is even less. Su Zhe obviously doesn't have much savings, so he still has to buy a house in order for the whole family to live in peace.

In ancient times, because of the level of economic development, items were also fluctuating. Although Su Zhe is an official in the court, he is meager and completely insufficient.

Because Su Zhe is a Qing official, and his grade is not high, he naturally does not have much money, so it is not easy to buy a house.

There must be a house in my hometown, but it is normal for people to go to higher places and water to lower places. It's no surprise that they will always be living here in the future, so buying a house is an urgent matter. And the high housing prices are also a problem that they can't handle.

It is very high, a decent mansion needs tens of thousands of taels**, because the location was very prosperous at that time, so the house price was very high.

The house price is relatively expensive, because Su Zhe's family is very large, and it is impossible to live together, so he has to buy a slightly larger yard, but he has no savings, so he uses it all on the house.

At that time, the area of the most ordinary residence in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was 9,400 guan, and if you wanted to buy a better house, you needed hundreds of thousands of guan, and after various decorations, it would be at least 1 million guan.

Su Zhe's annual salary at that time was only 10,000 yuan, so it obviously took a lot of years to buy a good house in the capital, which Su Zhe could not buy in his life.

The housing problem has been a problem since ancient times

In and out of the play, the story about the house has become more and more popular with the soaring housing prices in recent years. How helpless are contemporary people in this regard? However, perhaps you can't imagine that the problem of housing difficulties is not unique to contemporary times, and ancient people have already tasted the pain and sorrow in it!

House can be said to be the most concerned topic in today's society

In particular, the situation of skyrocketing housing prices has made everyone crazy. In the face of all kinds of bizarre phenomena in the real estate market, we can't help but ask, is it only modern people who are facing such a tense real estate problem? If we live in ancient times, do we still need to worry about buying a house?

Nowadays, 50% of the big bosses in this society come to real estate, so you can imagine how important the house is to human beings.

Su Zhe lived in the old house of Meishan for 18 years, and Jiayou entered Beijing in the first year

When he and he were admitted to the Jinshi, his father had also been an official for more than ten years, but he couldn't buy a house in the capital, so the brothers borrowed the office. Later, Su Zhe, Su Shi's wife and children also came to the capital, plus Ya Shui Mu, a family of dozens of people, and the office could not live in it, so Su Xun went to rent a house. In the fifth year of Jiayou, Su Xun took Su Zhe to move to Qixian County, Henan, which was also a rented house; In the sixth year of Jiayou, Su Xun took Su Zhe back to Beijing to live idlely, and he still rented a house; Until Su Xun died of illness in the third year of Zhiping, except for the old house in Meishan, he did not leave a property or a piece of land for his children and grandchildren.

The celebrity Su Zhe's family's experience of buying a house from a snail house to a house slave can reflect the embarrassment of people's housing at that time. Su Che set up a large courtyard with more than 100 rooms to settle the whole family. However, his wish was fulfilled, and his life savings were also exhausted.

In ancient times, although the price was not particularly high, it can be said that the house price has not been low since ancient times, because there was relatively little land available for building houses in ancient times, which also led to the high house price.

Su Zhe also experienced the melancholy of buying a house. And he spent all his savings to be able to buy a house, which can be said to be very difficult. For 18 years, the poet lived in the old house of his hometown, until the first year of Jiayou, when he was admitted to the Jinshi.

Because the housing prices at that time were not low for Su Zhe, and many people couldn't buy them even if they spent all their savings if they didn't get any diplomas.

In fact, this is very rare in ancient times, and this thing is very rare, which can be said that this person is too strange.

That's because the housing prices at that time were quite high, and many people couldn't afford to pay for some houses before they were admitted to the imperial examination, so they could only rent a house.

In ancient times, houses were also very popular in the city, ** was high, but it didn't matter in the countryside, you could build houses everywhere.
