    The task pattern of this reincarnation is a bit big, Gao Peng estimates that he will have to stay in this world for a long time, and it is necessary to buy a real estate.

    The Kangxi period was indeed better than the Kangxi period. The purchasing power of silver in this era was much better than that in the late Qing Dynasty. After Tongzhi, one tael of silver was only equivalent to about 170 to 220 yuan in later generations.

    However, during the Kangxi period, one tael of silver was equivalent to about 450 yuan in later generations, and the house price was surprisingly cheap. A similar courtyard house only needed two to three hundred taels of silver, and you could buy a good courtyard house for four to five hundred taels.  , and yards above five hundred taels must have at least two entrances.

    Now that he has entered the reincarnation of the ancient martial arts world, Gao Peng will habitually exchange a pile of gold and silver and put it in the reincarnation table every time he enters, but it is a pity that the main god can only be exchanged for cash, but not for silver notes.

    Therefore, in order not to take up too much space, Gao Peng's reincarnation table also contains at most a few thousand taels.

    Well, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Wei Xiaobao in the future. Although this guy is not very helpful to the great cause of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, at least he can be used as a cash machine.

    This guy's ability to greed for money is definitely not inferior to He Shen's. He can steal 500,000 taels just by copying Oboi's house. How much is that?  That's already more than 200 million my dear.

    Thanks to the existence of such things as silver bills at that time, it was convenient for those officials to embezzle. Otherwise, five hundred thousand taels, calculated on the basis of sixteen taels a catty, would be more than 30,000 catties, or more than ten tons of silver.  It takes a lot of brains to hide money.

    After Gao Peng entered the city, he went straight to the inner city, found out the location of the broker's office in a teahouse, and then hired a sedan chair and went to the broker's office.

    The so-called Broker Office is equivalent to the intermediary companies of later generations, except that the intermediary companies engaged in by the Broker Office at this time are relatively comprehensive, unlike later generations that have been subdivided. Except for housing intermediaries, they can do all other things that require intermediaries.  .

    The capital city is divided into four areas from the outside to the inside, namely the outer city, inner city, imperial city and the Forbidden City. They are separated by a city wall. What separates them is not only the difference in the urban area, but also the status of the residents.

    Before Jiaqing in the Ming Dynasty, the capital only had the inner city, the imperial city and the Forbidden City. In order to accommodate more people in the capital, Jiaqing began to build the outer city. However, due to insufficient funds, only the southern part was built, which is the outer city of Beijing in later generations.

    The outer city covers an area of ??24.49 square kilometers. In the Qing Dynasty, Han people and Han officials generally lived in the outer city. However, because the outer city was prosperous and lively, banner people moved here continuously in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

    The inner city was rebuilt from the capital city of the Yuan Dynasty, covering an area of ??35.57 square kilometers. After the Qing Dynasty made Beijing its capital, Han people could not live in the inner city.

    The Eight Banners live in different areas, defending the imperial city. In the middle and late stages, the boundaries between different banner people's residences were broken, and after Shunzhi, Han people were also allowed to live here.

    However, the population of the inner city is still strictly controlled, generally at around 400,000, and the consumption and prices of goods in the inner city are higher than those in the outer city. According to later generations, the inner city is the settlement of the upper class.

    The imperial city guards the Forbidden City, covering an area of ??about 6.87 square kilometers. One of the main functions of the imperial city is to provide a place for royal activities, so there are Xiyuan, Shejitan and Taimiao.

    The people who live in the imperial city are mainly the princes and ministers of the Qing court, various princes, county kings, Baylor, Gege, etc.  As a minister of Gu Ming, he naturally lived in the imperial city.

    The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City of later generations, is located in the southeast of the center of the inner city, with an area of ??720,000 square meters.

    The emperor, his concubines and various court service personnel lived in the Forbidden City.

    There are more than 9,000 palaces in the Forbidden City, of which the Qianqing Palace is the head of the inner court. The fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Shunzhi and Kangxi emperors of the Qing Dynasty lived in the Qianqing Palace until Yongzheng moved to the Yangxin Palace.  Use it as a living and activity center.

    In addition, the East and West Twelve Palaces in the Forbidden City are the residences of concubines.

    Gao Peng was basically clear about those people at the grassroots level in the Qing Dynasty. With money to open the way, it was very convenient to do things. Even the biggest household registration problem was not a problem. He directly settled in the inner city and spent 800 taels of silver to buy a place near West Chang'an Avenue  real estate.

    This property originally belonged to a "red-top businessman", but because he offended someone who shouldn't be offended, the whole family was distributed and his property was confiscated.

    From the tone of the broker, Gao Peng knew that the family had offended Ao Bai, so it was no wonder, not surprisingly, the money from the sale of this property would eventually go to Ao Bai.In China, it has nothing to do with the court at all.

    But Gao Peng naturally wouldn't say much, all he needed was a real estate, and he didn't need to care about the origin of the real estate.

    This is a courtyard with two entrances. There are a pair of stone lions in front of the door, and the porter looks good.

    Entering the gate is the front yard. There are two stone tables in the front yard. There are four stone piers around each stone table. A few sparse trees are planted in the open space on both sides. A middle door blocks the scenery of the backyard.

    Follow the path paved with stones and enter the middle gate, which is the backyard. There are three wing rooms on the left and right sides, which are bedrooms, and a courtyard in the middle. There is a deep well in the courtyard for water intake.

    Directly opposite the courtyard is the hall. In the hall, several grand master chairs are neatly arranged, and on both sides are hollow wooden frames with some porcelain placed on them.

    This house covers an area of ??more than 800 square meters, neither too big nor too small. Generally speaking, those who can afford this kind of house are of upper-middle social status.

    Gao Peng is still very satisfied with this house. The living environment is not bad, and it does not appear high-profile. The most important thing is that the place is remote, and most of the surrounding houses are vacant houses for sale, so there is no need to deal with the neighbors next door.

    Just when Gao Peng finished all the affairs and officially became a local resident of the capital, when he moved into his new house, Wei Xiaobao and Mao Shiba met Hai Dafu according to their fate and were taken captive into the palace.

    ? At the same time, Lu Yifeng, an official in the west, was robbed on his way to Ao Bai's mansion to give gifts.

    A large amount of property that Wu Sangui handed over to him to buy officials from the DPRK and China was robbed by the robbers, only the Burmese Wang Baodao that was going to be given to Oboi remained, and it was impossible to buy officials.

    When the business was settled, it was already the first time the lights came on. He went to an inn to have dinner at random, and then returned to his house, secretly thinking about the next move.

    A few days later, Gao Peng had dinner, and when night fell and the city of Beijing was shrouded in darkness, he changed into the Shadowless Sharpshooter costume and sneaked to the north of the palace. Not surprisingly, that incident happened today.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
