    "Over there, post over there too!"

    "Oh, you posted it crookedly, move a little to the left!"

    ""

    Zhao Zhenfang wandered around the yard, ordering servants to put up Spring Festival couplets at each door.

    Pan Qimei is also busy. She has learned a lot of pastry recipes this year, and has been making new year snacks by herself these days.

    ?As for Fei Rulan, she wrote Spring Festival couplets at her own pace.

    Spring Festival couplets have been around for a long time, but they used to be hung on wooden plaques, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that they began to be written on red paper, and it seems that Nanjing originated.

    This is the first Spring Festival when he moved to Nanjing. After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Han will proclaim himself King of Wu.  The agencies under the Dudu Mansion will also change their names, and some departments need to be expanded or adjusted.

    The King of Wu is just the title of the king, and the future title of the country is still not determined.

    "Husband, come and write a copy, hang it at the gate." Fei Rulan came over with a pen and paper.

    Zhao Han picked up the brush, but he heard the guard at the door reporting: "Captain, Mrs. Qin is here."

    "Ask them to come in."

    Zhao Han didn't deliberately show courtesy to the corporal, he knew that Qin Liangyu was visiting Nanjing yesterday.

    Qin Liangyu led his grandson through the halls and courtyards, and did not see groups of servants along the way.  This made her a little surprised, but she also felt that it was reasonable, as if Zhao Han's family should be like this.

    Arriving at the inner courtyard, Zhao Han was writing Spring Festival couplets.

    Waiting for Zhao Han's handwriting, Qin Liangyu cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Governor Zhao."

    Zhao Han put down his brush: "Old Madam Qin, I have admired your name for a long time!"

    Fei Rulan stood beside her husband, bent down and gave Qin Liangyu a blessing.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I have just written a couplet for the Spring Festival, and I invite Mrs. Qin to appreciate it."

    ? Qin Liangyu took two steps forward and read: "For a hundred years, the heavens and the earth will regain their vitality, and the mountains and rivers will be unified, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Good Spring Festival couplets, so bold!"

    After setting up chairs, everyone sat down around, Fei Rulan brought snacks to entertain, and asked Xiyue to make a pot of tea.

    Zhao Han asked: "Is Mrs. Qin still used to living in Nanjing?"

    "Everything is fine." Qin Liangyu replied.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "How do you feel about Nanjing?"

    "Excellent!"

    Both parties did not go straight to the point, Qin Liangyu asked casually: "Why are the low-rent houses leased for 30 years, and the real estate belongs to the tenants."

    "Since it is rented out, no one is willing to move out unless they are forced to evict. If it is possible to force eviction, there may be no chaos in Nanjing, and chaos will inevitably occur in other cities," Zhao Han said with a smile.  Ten years of rent, the government barely recovers the cost of building the house, so what if the old house is donated to the people?"

    Qin Liangyu praised: "The governor has far-reaching considerations."

    Zhao Han continued: "The same is true for the division of land. Now it can be divided into individual names. The longer it takes, the more difficult it is to find out. Thirty to fifty years have passed, and after one or two generations, the land must belong to a certain household.  If it is a subdivision, there will be more chaos. At that time, we can only make adjustments, stipulating that the property of a certain household should not exceed the number, and the population of a household should not exceed the number."

    Qin Liangyu didn't want to understand: "As long as the government controls the household registration and field records, why can't they tell the difference?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The daughter of a certain family has land under her name, and she can't take it away after she gets married. These fields can only be attributed to a certain household. The government can forcefully intervene, but it can't be controlled at all, otherwise it will be taken away every day.  Officials are exhausted. In addition, the man of a certain family goes out to be an official or does business. After many years, he moves out of his household registration. The land under his name must be left to his family. One or two households will definitely be able to get it back. There are everywhere in the country.  How to deal with this phenomenon?"

    In ancient times, there were no computers, and the efficiency of the government was very low. If there were more such things, it would be impossible to ban them.

    Still the same sentence, you can't take back what you give.

    ? If you want to get it back, you have to expand the number of officials, and the administrative cost has risen sharply.

    Zhao Han didn't dare to build official housing in various cities too well, they were only a little more expensive than low-rent housing.

    This is learning from Daming's experience and lessons!

    After Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, he built many official residences, which were also distributed to officials, and they would be taken back after the officials retired.

    As a result, in just a few decades, Beijing officials have no place to live.

    Because more and more officials, after being allocated a house, don't even mention retirement, they don't even hand over the house after they die.

    So from the mid-Ming Dynasty, the houses where Beijing officials lived were either rewarded by the emperor, purchased by themselves, or leased with money.

    ?With the high housing prices in Beijing, if Beijing officials are not corrupt, after paying the rent every month, the salary can only barely"Brother Ma is versatile in civil and military affairs, how can he be a pawn?" Zhao Han said with a smile, "It happens that I want to expand the cavalry. If Brother Ma is willing, he can be the cavalry commander."

    Qin Liangyu said: "I know that the Datong Army has strict rules, and officers must be promoted based on their merits. Let him be a pawn."

    Zhao Han shook his head: "The Datong Army is short of cavalry generals. Brother Ma is a grievance to be the sentry commander. For the time being, he can only command a hundred cavalry. When the war horses multiply and expand the army again in the future, Brother Ma can command three to five thousand cavalry.  also."

    "Thank you, Dudu!" Ma Wanli was very excited.

    Although he practiced bow and horse since he was a child, Shi Jie did not have a large-scale cavalry at all.

    When Ma Wanli thought of commanding fine cavalry, crossing the battlefield, and being invincible, he felt very refreshed.

    Suddenly, Ma Wanli couldn't help asking: "The governor is so young, how dare you ask Gui Geng?"

    "Almost twenty-three years old." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Ma Wanli was speechless for a moment, he was one year older than Zhao Han.

    Qin Liangyu was also a little surprised, but he didn't dwell on it, but asked, "Where is the prince and princess?"

    Zhao Han said: "I went to study, I ate at school at noon, and I ate at home in the evening. They eat with me every day."

    "I see." Qin Liangyu was completely relieved.

    The two sides did not talk about the attachment at all, let alone the treatment after the attachment, it seems that talking about those things is superfluous.

    (To explain, small buildings with three or four floors don¡¯t need much steel bars, or even concrete. Even if they are used, they only need to be poured once at the transition of each floor. As for the frame structure, it emerged after the 21st century.)
