Talk about the difficulty of buying a house.

House is just needed, which is one of the topics that everyone is most concerned about. Especially in recent years, the skyrocketing housing prices have brought great pressure to everyone.

Some people queue up to buy a house in the middle of the night, some people hire scalpers to help grab places to buy a house, some people are willing to gamble on the happiness of a lifetime to buy a suite, and more people can only watch the house price rise and can't afford it.

The reality is so difficult that some people think that if we travel back to ancient times, the land can be built at will and the house is worthless, won't there be such pressure?

In fact, buying a house in ancient times was not as easy as everyone thought. In some dynasties, people were lucky enough to buy a suite after two or three years of hard work. In some dynasties, ordinary people could not afford to eat or drink for hundreds of years.

With the differences of economy, policy and population density in different dynasties, house prices are also uneven. Choose a dynasty before crossing, or you will have to rent a house when you come back.

Western Zhou Dynasty? 100 string of shells? Purchase 1300 mu of land

The king has long arms.

According to the Book of Rites? "The King System" records? It's not awkward (y? )? It means that land cannot be transferred or bought or sold at will, and the land in the whole country can only be enfeoffed, rewarded, granted or recovered by the king.

However, in 1957, a batch of Western Zhou bronzes unearthed in Qishan County, Shaanxi Province recorded a real estate transaction about 3000 years ago.

According to records, in March of the third year of Zhou Yiwang (897 BC), a man named Qiu Wei bought 1300 mu of land from a slave owner named Jumbo twice with two jewels, a deerskin shawl and an apron with flowers.

These items used by Qiu Wei were worth 100 shells at that time. In addition, the transaction was approved by the ruling minister and a ceremony was held to grant land, thus confirming the legal procedures for transferring land ownership. This is the earliest real estate transaction discovered so far.

At this point, Pandora's box was opened, and a daunting industry gave birth to real estate. What about his brother? House price? Set off a wave of Jianghu blood shed, which has lasted for more than two thousand years now!

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, civil servants could buy a house in full in the city center in two years. Although land sales began to appear in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was still limited to land, which was still different from real estate.

Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? Homestead? Statement. In the pre-Qin period, for those who won the war, the king would not only reward fertile land, but also give an extra five acres of homestead. Qin also relied on this measure to encourage soldiers to work hard and unify the six countries. However, the Qin Dynasty only lasted 14 years in history. The first harmonious and prosperous period in Chinese history appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the economy was prosperous in all aspects, as was the sale of real estate. What about the house prices in the Han Dynasty? We can find many records of house transactions from unearthed Han bamboo slips.

As now, the prices of different buildings vary greatly.

Take Hanzhong, the most prosperous city in the Eastern Han Dynasty, for example. At that time, houses in Hanzhong were sold at parity (that is, by building, not by square). Cheap as long as 10 thousand yuan can buy a property. And lots of good huxing good house to sell 2 ~ 70000 yuan, this kind of house at that time should belong to the luxury level.

You know, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Han Dynasty was much larger than today. The net worth of ordinary small-scale peasant families is about 1 10,000 yuan, which means that ordinary peasants want to buy a house, so they can buy the cheapest house with all their net worth.

If you want to save money to buy a house, it is not difficult. For example, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? According to Guan Baizhi,

The lowest-ranking grass-roots civil servants earn 96 hectares a year. At that time, 1 hectare was equivalent to 100 yuan, which was 9600 yuan.

The annual salary of Taishou (equivalent to the current mayor of a prefecture-level city) is 1 mangokumi, which is actually equivalent to 1 mangokumi, and 1 mangokumi is converted into 65438+ ten thousand yuan.

According to this salary, grass-roots civil servants can buy a house in the center of a first-tier city without paying back the loan if they don't eat or drink for two or three years. Just say, is it sour? ! But in the Tang Dynasty, I was not so happy.

During the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people wanted to buy first-line commercial housing? It's harder than going to heaven.

In my impression, the Tang Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties in ancient China, but I didn't know that the house prices in the Tang Dynasty were also unattainable, almost as high as the pressure of buying houses now.

How difficult was it to buy a house in the Tang Dynasty? Come and let Bai Juyi know.

Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was admitted as a scholar at the age of 28 and joined the work at the age of 365,438+0. At the age of 32, I became a civil servant, a secretary and a provincial school librarian. This position is equivalent to the librarian of the National Library, and my salary is about 16000 yuan per month. However, it is such a person. Was Bai Juyi in Chang 'an the same at that time? It's not easy to live in a big place? .

Because the house price is too high, Bai Juyi can only rent a house when he is an official. The rented house is still very simple: four or five huts, a horse and two servants. ?

This rental life has been going on for several years. Even though Bai Juyi appreciates the value of Jingzhao Tiger Grass, with a monthly salary of 40,000 to 50,000, Bai Juyi still has no hope of buying a house in Chang 'an, which shows how terrible the housing prices in the Tang Dynasty are.

It was not until his mother came to Chang 'an to take refuge in him that he bought the first property in his life in Jinshi Village, Yijin Township, Xiajiao County, the most remote suburb of Chang 'an.

Bai Juyi was not the only great writer in Tang Dynasty who couldn't afford a house. Like writing it down? There are thousands of luxury houses in Ande, which makes all the poor people in the world very happy. ? The poet Du Fu still lived in a dilapidated and leaky thatched cottage in his later years.

However, the reason why houses in the Tang Dynasty were difficult to buy was closely related to the policies at that time.

Tang Yaohui, who recorded the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty? Volume 85 has provisions:? All the countries in the world have fled. Youtianzhai industry. The illusion was broken. And fate owes a negative rent agent. I've already bought and sold with my neighbors. ? This means that all the land and real estate in any city in China must be asked by relatives before asking neighbors if they want to sell them. The house can only be sold if none of the relatives or neighbors want to buy it. Otherwise, relatives and neighbors have the right to sue the government and redeem the original price.

This is the real estate purchase restriction policy of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, you can't buy a house if you want to. You have to greet the host's seven aunts and neighbors before you have a chance to do it. In this way, the available housing is very limited, and it is natural that the housing price is too high.

In the Song Dynasty, it took about 260 years to buy a first-tier house without eating or drinking. The house price in Song Dynasty is no less than that in modern times. Wang Yucheng, a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote an article "Li's Garden Pavilion". In the center of the city, under the double-gate, every inch of land is worth gold, which is the same price as gold. ? This is an inch of land and gold, the most authentic portrayal.

Speaking of buying a house, eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties? One of them, Su Zhe, is a bitter tear. When I was young, I took the Jinshi exam, became a local official, and then gradually rose from the local official to the upper level of power, but I still failed to buy a house. Even children always complain in front of him: I have no house. Do you think so? It was not until he was seventy years old that Su Zhecai took out the salary he had saved all his life and sold a batch of books to raise enough money to buy a house, and it was not a first-tier city.

It is also difficult for Ouyang Xiu, a great writer, to buy a house. Even when he became a political adviser (equivalent to Premier the State Council), he couldn't afford to buy a commercial house, so he had to rent it in this humble alley, which shows the high housing prices in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Someone has calculated an account. In Song Huizong, the monthly salary of grass-roots civil servants is 3,500, which is a little more than that of 3 yuan. At that time, a house in the suburbs of Kaifeng, a first-tier city, was about 1 10,000, and the city center was sky-high.

In other words, a grass-roots civil servant bought an ordinary house in the suburbs of a first-tier city and saved it for 270 years without eating or drinking!

Looking at the huge courtyard of Sheng Zhai in Zhihu, I always feel that Sheng Xiaoliu is real? Small door and small family? Born, now it seems that the family is a serious family!

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, the housing market had eased, and ordinary civil servants could buy their own property after saving for two or three years.

Whether in ancient or modern times, the house has always been a touching topic. Seeing that the ancients were also persecuted by housing prices, I felt a little gratified smile floating on my lips. Thinking that so many writers have worked hard for the house like themselves, the motivation has increased a lot.

May there be thousands of buildings in Qian Qian, which will greatly protect people all over the world!
