Xiaosan nodded vigorously, a hint of envy in his eyes:
"Yes indeed, that's the priciest area in the capital."
Xu Yun glanced again at the Alum Building, which would be known as the famous Fan Building in later times, the surprise in his eyes still lingering.
Actually, what he didn't know was.
At this time, the housing prices in the Northern Song weren't any less than those in later times.
In the early Northern Song period.
The price of an ordinary residence in Bianjing was about just over one thousand coins, which wasn't considered expensive as it was a house for a family of several or even a dozen people.
With the comprehensive price level roughly equivalent to six hundred thousand to one million in later times, it was still acceptable.
But by the late Northern Song period.
Bianjing's housing prices went crazy, jumping significantly each year.
According to Professor Bao Weimin from Renmin University History College's 2014 publication "Research on Song Dynasty Cities."
