From Du Fu's poem "An De Xia Guang Bay", we can see that his situation is very bad, his family is displaced and his house is in ruins.
Li Bai in Ronghao Li is very popular in the street. Every time he hummed "If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai", I wondered if he knew Li Bai's situation at that time-and! Don't! All right! Ah! He has no room!
According to historical records, Li Bai lived on a boat all his life. Drinking wine every day and drifting from Sichuan to Anhui can be regarded as the first person drifting on the Yangtze River in history. Sadly, in the process of drifting along the Yangtze River, Li Bai got drunk. He wanted a monkey to catch the moon, but he accidentally fell into the water and died. ...
In fact, in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, it was not so easy to get a house easily. Bai Juyi and Du Fu, aren't they all house slaves? Why couldn't the Tang Dynasty afford a house?
Mainly because the land policy of the Tang Dynasty was cruel enough-in order to ensure that Murphy's land was forced by the world, the Tang Dynasty implemented strict land policy control.
For example, "purchase restriction order".
The imperial court stipulated that every three people in an ordinary family were given an acre of homestead, and every five people in a "Dalit" family were given an acre. If there are more, "one acre is ten", which means 10 boards per acre. At the same time, it also stipulates that it is not enough to sell real estate or immovable property only through negotiation between buyers and sellers, but also to solicit the opinions of neighbors and sellers. "Neighbors have the right to buy and sell first", that is, neighbors and people have the priority to be transferred.
The purchase restriction has greatly increased the difficulty of real estate transactions. However, this system also reduced some neighborhood conflicts and family disputes, so this system was not only implemented in the Tang Dynasty, but also has been passed down to this day.
For example, the right to use rural homestead stipulates that if farmers voluntarily withdraw from the right to use rural homestead, villagers in the same collective organization shall enjoy the right to use it.
In addition to the purchase restriction, the Tang Dynasty also introduced another property management policy, which is also very popular now-property tax!
The property tax levied in the Tang Dynasty is called shelf tax, which is based on "shelf". According to Zi Jian, "shelf" means "two rooms in a family", that is, the space between two parallel roof trusses is called a room. As for how to charge, according to historical records, the luxury so-called "upper house" charges 2,000 yuan per room every year, and the house in a broad sense, the so-called "middle house", charges/kloc-0.000 yuan per room every year, and the poor house, the so-called lower house, charges 500 yuan per room every year.
It is said that just a few months after the property tax was implemented, there was an army mutiny outside Chang 'an. In order to win the hearts of the people, the rebels played the slogan of "Don't tax you to drive away strangers", saying that if they gain political power, they will immediately cancel the property tax and other arbitrary charges, and the people have supported the rebels. Tang Dezong, the emperor at that time, was so scared that he peed his pants. Immediately after putting down the rebellion, he wrote to abolish the "property tax".
When it comes to buying a house, the worst thing is civil servants.
In the Tang Dynasty, if you were an ordinary civil servant or a cadre below the bureau level, you could wait in line for a house allocated by the government. Once you retire, you must make room for new people immediately.
The most pitiful thing is that the Tang Dynasty was one of the most frequent times for cadres to communicate in different places. Many people often change places in a few years, so civil servants basically don't buy houses. As a result, when I retired, I found that there was no place for the elderly. ...
Fortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, retired officials had some pensions, and with their savings when they were officials, they could afford to buy a house with a little effort.
So, what are the salaries and pensions of officials in the Tang Dynasty?
"New Tang Book" wrote that in 6 18 AD, the annual salary of Zhengyipin in the Tang Dynasty was 700 stones, and that of Zhengyipin was 300 stones, and there was little difference further down.
The annual salary of Jiupin Sesame Officer is about 40 stone. The annual salary of Jiupin Sesame Officer is about 40 stone. These grain-based wages are paid in one lump sum within one year. Sadly, local officials outside the capital have no annual salary. For a considerable part of the Tang Dynasty, the treatment of local officials was far inferior to that of officials in Beijing. What about the standard of pension? Half of the on-the-job salary. How much is the house in the Tang Dynasty worth?

How much is the house in the Tang Dynasty worth?
Han Yu, the eldest of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, is the highest official assistant in North Korea, equivalent to the current deputy director of the Central Organization Department.
I bought a satisfactory commercial house in my later years.
After buying a house, Minister Han was filled with emotion and wrote a poem: "When I first came to the capital, I stopped at a book. After thirty years of hard work, I have this house ... "
The assistant minister of the official department was the "top four" level in the Tang Dynasty.
According to the regulations, the salary at this level is 74 1 10,000/year. Previously, Han Yu was also a doctor of imperial academy, that is, the president of the university, with an annual salary of 20,000.
Minister Han spent 30 years on salary and manuscript fees, which is basically the same as the 30-year mortgage. ...
Having said that, I finally understand why Du Fu wrote that famous poem-there are thousands of spacious buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy! The real estate policy of the Tang Dynasty is the root of all evil! No wonder Li Bai and Du Fu have become house slaves forever ~
