Chapter 14 Zhang Jin's new goal!
Chapter 14 Zhang’s new goal!
Zhang Heng did not explain his plan in detail, and Zhang Jin did not ask any more questions.
Although his younger brother is more reliable, it still sounds a bit fanciful to have Zhi Zhi Gao as his teacher.
He planned to visit more in his spare time to see if there was any better academy nearby. Even if it was more expensive, he would send his two younger brothers to study there.
As for what the third brother said about worshiping Zhu Gongliang as his teacher, it would be better to have it, but there is no need to delay it.
"From now on, just help me make pancakes at night, and I will take care of the rest. During the rest of the time, you pick up the books first and don't let them go to waste."
He assigned tasks to his two younger brothers, Zhang Shu responded, and Zhang Heng also agreed, and said: "Brother, let's rent an independent yard."
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?"
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, although the rent here is cheap, the place is too small and there is no space for us to work. In addition, if we want to cook or something, we always have to compete with others in the public kitchen, and it is inconvenient to go to the bathroom. So In a small place, the smell is mild in winter, but in summer, it will kill people.
These are all small things. Next, we have to study. It’s too messy here to study quietly. Let’s find an independent yard where it’s quiet and quiet, which is where we study.”
After hearing the previous reasons, Zhang Jun was thinking of refusing. He was very worried. Although he now had some money on hand and made a lot of money every day, he still had to save some money. After all, there would be many places to spend money in the future. .
But when he heard about reading, he immediately agreed: "That's the truth. Reading does require a quiet environment. Then let's find a housekeeper tomorrow and find an independent yard next to here!"
Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this. He was really afraid that Zhang Jun would disagree.
In fact, studying is secondary. The main reason is that he really can't stand such a large population density. In his room, the three brothers are all tall and strong. With three people in the room, it is difficult to even turn around.
In the entire courtyard, if two people were walking towards each other, they would have to press their faces against the wall to pass.
This place is not soundproof either. You can not only hear the fart next door, you can even smell it...
Of course, these are not unbearable. What makes him unbearable the most is that the smell here is simply suffocating!
The weather is too cold, and there is no independent bathroom in the yard, so every household must put a toilet. The toilet holds urine and feces. The smell permeates from the room to the corridor. You can imagine the smell...
They just did what they said. After selling the eggs and filling them with cakes the next day, the three brothers went to the store to help. They found Ya Ren who rented a house last time and told them their needs. Ya Ren heard that they wanted to rent an independent yard and he was immediately happy. Come on, after all, he can also get commission.
Yaren immediately took out the brochure and provided several courtyard options. Zhang Heng took the trouble to follow Yaren to see the house. Finally, Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and made the decision to choose a small courtyard.
This small courtyard is not a small courtyard like that in rural areas, but a small house covering an area of about eighty or ninety square meters. This is the area including the small courtyard, but the house has two floors, with a total of three rooms. There is an independent kitchen and an independent toilet in the first living room. Although it is still a small dwelling, it is already extremely luxurious.
Bianjing can accommodate more than one million people in one city. With so many people gathered in such a small place, the houses are naturally big and extremely expensive.
The monthly rent for this small yard costs more than 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to three dollars per month!
It would be even more expensive to buy it. For such a small two-story courtyard, the dentist would dare to ask for a thousand guan!
Zhang Heng originally had the idea to buy it, but he was not frightened by such a casual question. On the contrary, Zhang Xuan was frightened and trembled: "Good guy, this poor yard..."
However, despite being frightened, he started to think about it.
"The rent is three guan a month, which is 36 guan per year. Ten years is 360 guan. You can buy the house with thirty years' rent. It is actually quite cost-effective.
This thousand guan sounds scary, but now I can earn more than 20 guan every month. I can barely save 20 guan every month for rent, food, etc. In this way, I can save at least 20 guan a year.
One hundred coins, in this way, it only takes five years to save one thousand coins! This business can be done!
If you have a house in Bianjing, you will have truly taken root. The next generation will be the children born and raised in Bianjing City, and they will be considered natives of Bianjing!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun set a new goal for himself - no matter what, he must buy a house here for the Zhang family!
In recent days, as I became more familiar with Bianjing, doing business and so on, I also got to know some shop owners, and while chatting, I also learned many things that only people in Bianjing know.
According to the owner of the egg shop, buying a house in Bianjing is not easy. Although there are many people who have houses to live in, very few can afford it. Even the officials of the Beijing Dynasty may not be able to afford it. There are even rumors that even the prime minister
There are also some that can’t be afforded.
Zhang Jun was doubtful about this. After all, in his mind, becoming an official would be different. How could he still not be able to afford a house? But the egg shop owner explained to him: "Being an official is just that. Being an official is just that."
There is a clear stream of real power. If you are in a good position, you will naturally have more income. If you only rely on salary, buying a house in Bianjing City is just a dream!"
Zhang Jun said unconvinced: "I heard that the salary of the imperial dynasty is the highest in history. How can I not afford it? Are you deceiving me?"
The owner of the egg shop sneered and said, "That's true, but living in the capital is not easy. Once you become an official, you have more people to support. You can't travel like ordinary people. You have to eat better, right?
What’s the point of being an official?
As a result, there will naturally be more expenses. Their salary is quite large, but they also have many social contacts, so that salary is spent as it comes!
Therefore, it is necessary to have a good job. With a good job and some unknown income, such an official can afford to buy a house. However, how many official positions have a good job?
So, there are also a lot of officials who cannot afford to buy a house. If someone says that a prime minister cannot afford a house, don’t take it seriously. If you say that the prime minister is honest, then he really can’t afford it."
These words made Zhang Xun understand that even if he became an official, it did not mean that all problems were solved. During his chat with the egg shop, he learned that many officials actually have many properties at home, and their family expenses and so on.
, if there is no industrial support, it will definitely not be able to sustain it.
This made Zhang Jun make up his mind to buy some property for the Zhang family so that his two younger brothers would have no worries!
This house is not far from the yard where we lived before, so it is easy to move. The three brothers are all strong laborers, so they packed up their bedding and other things and came over.
However, if you rent a big house, you have to purchase a lot of things.
First of all, the three brothers have their own rooms. Naturally, each of them needs a bed of bedding. In the past, the three of them used it together, but now they need to buy two more sets.
The second is the kitchen supplies. There is a stove in the kitchen, but you have to purchase the kitchen supplies inside.
Secondly, there are some tables and chairs, etc. The rented rooms are basically not packed in, so you have to spend a sum of money to purchase these things.
So at the end of the day, he spent money like water, and by the end of the day, Zhang Jun's face turned gray, so much so that Zhang Heng felt embarrassed even if he wanted to spend money to buy brown sugar.
