In the ancient civil service housing system, why did the Tang Dynasty only divide land into houses?

In order to save the expenses of the national treasury, the Tang court did not allocate rooms to officials, but provided officials with official residences, but the family members in charge of the hospital could not live in them. The reason why officials are given land is to let them build their own houses without court expenses. In addition, officials can rent out or use it for other businesses to subsidize their lives without building houses.

In fact, in ancient times, many officials in past dynasties were worried about houses. Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty once said: There are millions of luxury houses in Ande, and everyone who has achieved great success in the world is happy. At that time, Du Fu was Yuan Wailang in the Tang Dynasty, but he also had to worry about housing. Su Zhe in the Northern Song Dynasty was also demoted to the local post-question. Can't live in the official residence, have to rent a house by yourself? . Kou Zhun, a great official of the Qing Dynasty, had no house when he was sent to local management. Before he could rent a house, the civilians built a house for him. It can be seen that the housing of ancient officials is a big problem. If an official really has a house, it is either corruption or a gift from the emperor.

In the Tang dynasty, there was a deputy prime minister named Huai Shen who lived in a very humble hut. When it rained, the rain dripped down. Another official, Yao Chong, could only rent a hotel, but because the house was too shabby and often fell ill, the emperor couldn't stand it, so he ordered someone to build a mansion. These officials could have lived in a comfortable official residence, but they had to live outside with them because of their families. Because of the housing problem and the low salary of the imperial court, officials of past dynasties made money by taking bribes and corruption, and then their ambitions grew bigger and bigger.

But in the Tang Dynasty, the land allocated to officials by the imperial court was not in the same place as the official office. Even if the house is built and their families are placed in it, they will be returned to the court after retirement. Moreover, some officials will work in other places, and he will definitely bring his family. Therefore, it is unrealistic to build a house in a different place, and the careers of many officials cannot be smooth sailing, and there may be accidents such as dismissal in the middle.
