    Anyway, when Gu Weijun introduced Zhang Hanqing to Gates, Zhang Hanqing was determined to facilitate this matter.  Although we know that Concorde eventually settled in China, knowing the history and contributing to the history have different psychological impacts.

    At this time in Beijing, there were many wealthy families who were in dire straits.  Since the end of the former Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners disciples who had lost their status politically and relied on charity for their livelihood could no longer hide their honorable faces and broke up their families one after another.

    During the more than 200 years of Manchu rule, bannermen had special privileges, but at the same time, they were not engaged in production and were prohibited from engaging in industry, commerce, and trade.  The problem of living in poverty became more and more obvious later on.  High-minded but low-handed, indifferent to production, and incompetentit has become a cancer that hinders social development and stability.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the court also made some changes, allowing them to either engage in farming or business, with the goal of solving their personal livelihoods, but the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 pulled them into a new era in advance.

    In Lao She's play "Teahouse" it is vividly shown that the living conditions of the banner people have evolved to the point of collective destitution.  On May 23, 1920, Shanghai's "Republic of China Daily" published an article "The Living Conditions of Today's Banner People", which roughly divided the living conditions of the Banner people that day into four categories: Noble official refers to those relatives and nobles who enjoy the "Preferential Treatment Regulations"  Although this group of people in the clan have accumulated assets, they cannot make ends meet, and because they are young and inexperienced, "all the members of the family will share the fat" and are expected to "not die of poverty in the future"; the livelihood sect is those who are diligent, strong, and capable  Those who operate and are self-reliant, "this sect is the best among the banner tribes", and can gradually be assimilated with other ethnic groups; the Labor sect is made up of Han military banner people, who generally make a living by rickshaws, and are poor but can still survive on their own  The "waiting-to-die" faction are those destitute people who are destined to "die in old age".

    This Prince Yu's Mansion is the so-called "noble official faction".  According to later generations, as long as you have your own big house in the capital, you will not starve to death no matter what.  But the tiger will never fall. In such a large family, there are hundreds of mouths to deal with, so it is no longer enough to rely on the ancestors.

    The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, thanks to the efforts of the Eight Banners soldiers.  In recognition of his contribution to the establishment of the Qing Empire, there were the so-called Twelve Iron Hat Kings, who were hereditary and indiscriminate.  Among them, eight families were related to the country and had made military exploits at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. They were granted the title of "Gongfeng" because of their merits; four of them were granted the title for their contribution to stabilizing the country in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.  , that is, "enfeng".

    The earliest Prince of Yu was Duduo, who was famous in history.  But in later generations, his descendants, like other Eight Banners disciples, became uneducated and ignorant playboys.

    After the Qing emperor abdicated, the small imperial court still existed in the Forbidden City, leaving a group of clan elders to remember the past glory.  In 1913, Prince Yu died of illness. In order to "continue" the favor of the imperial court, the small court specially issued an order: Duuanzhen inherited the title of Prince Yu.  The small court did nothing, it was just a way to show off the court's airs, and it had no practical significance at all.

    Duanzhen, whose courtesy name was Dongping, was named Jinping when he became an adult. He was 4 years old when he inherited the title and became the last Prince of Yu.

    Unlike before when there was still a prince¡¯s salary, the Qing Dynasty was gone, so naturally no one paid the salary, and everyone went their separate ways.  Without income, life becomes difficult.  But in the huge Prince Yu's Mansion, there must be some people on duty, right?  Sweeping the floors, repairing and repairing the house, and guarding the house are still a lot of expenses.  Therefore, the actual owner of Prince Yu's Mansion and the biological mother of the last Prince Yu, Tong Jia, became the legitimate Taifu Jin.  Now that she had the real power to dispose of the property of Prince Yu's Mansion, she began to have ideas about this large courtyard that only spent money but did not make any money.

    Since the big house is a burden, it¡¯s better to sell it, and then everyone can find their own mother, and their family can live a good life That¡¯s why Butler Tong was appointed to find a middleman to sell the palace.

    I heard that the buyer was a foreigner, and Butler Tong felt that something was wrong.  Foreigners are rich, and although foreigners are a bit domineering, their spirit of contract is truly admirable.  Anyway, as long as it is written in black and white, people will definitely abide by it. Maybe this is the so-called chivalry?  But it seems that the Chinese government has repeatedly signed unequal treaties and others have always asked China to abide by them.

    Anyway, Butler Tong is interested, but he is still a little worried about Zhang Hanqing's identity.  For such a big thing, it's a bit too casual for such a young person!

    But Zhang Hanqing seemed to understand his thoughts and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't talk about such a big thing casually, and you won't do it casually. There must be a charter, right? In this way, I will go back  Arrange for the owner to come see the place, and the owner will negotiate the specific price with you."

    Butler Tong asked unintentionally: "May I ask this little brother, what does your boss's family do? What should you call it?"

    Seeing that Zhang Hanqing is young, he may really have this information, but it would be best if he could make a deal without him.nbsp; And selling the house to a foreigner will not damage your face. Otherwise, selling it casually and spreading it around will not look good after all.  "

    Of course, Mrs. Tong Jia hopes to cut off the trouble quickly. Anyway, the house is not her own, so letting it sit for nothing will be a waste of money and she will also face the dilemma of being unable to make ends meet.  She pondered and said: "This is a good idea. But are the American buyers that Master Zhang mentioned reliable?"

    Zhang Hanqing understood what she meant: "Absolutely reliable, they are used to do good things, uh, build schools. As long as Tai Fujin signs the contract, no matter how your clan members object, they will definitely act in accordance with the contract, and they are not afraid of lawsuits going to the Forbidden City."  go!"

    Tai Fujin was also very straightforward: "Deal. As long as the deal is negotiated, two points of this price will be paid at that time." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
