The content of the accommodation guide is divided into several sections.

The first part is an introduction to the facilities in the hotel and suites. The text in this booklet is the same as all the words that Master Bu saw after he came to the master, all of which are vulgar characters with a lack of pen and few strokes.

After reading the first part of the booklet fluently, Master Bu learned and sold it now, and instructed the little servant to go to the bathroom and put hot water for him...... He was going to take a bath.

Lying in the white bathtub, feeling the delicate touch of white porcelain, accompanied by the steaming mist, Master Bu sighed comfortably.

A large bathtub of more than one meter will naturally not be fired in porcelain, not to mention the high difficulty, even if the porcelain is burned, it will not be able to bear the weight of water and the human body. In fact, Master Bu regarded the surface of the enamel as white porcelain. Ming people take a bath, either a wooden barrel, or a stone bath, so it is normal for Master Bu to have never seen a bathtub in later generations.

This most ordinary bathtub in later generations was quite technical in this era. Because of the lack of welding technology, the sanitary ware factory needs to make the whole thin steel plate into the shape of a bathtub with sheet metal technology, and then use surface glaze to enamel the inside and outside of the bathtub to make the finished product.

The bathtub that is no more ordinary in later generations is currently not exported except for personal use due to many technical difficulties and high waste rate, which is also the reason why Master Bu has never seen it.

After taking a bath comfortably, he called the little girl to come in and rub his back, and Master Bu found that the only regret was that he didn't bring a maid this time - usually these jobs are done by the little girl.

Dressed in a moon-white mid-sheet and the rush slippers provided by the hotel, Mr. Bu sat on the single sofa, took a sip of orange-flavored soda in a classic Coca-Cola glass bottle, and then opened the accommodation guide to continue studying.

The second part of the guide lists all the attractions in Tainan in detail. These include the famous Taijiang Night Market, the Kiln District Industrial Tourism, the scenic natural lagoon, and some of the local high-end restaurants and shopping malls.

The guide not only shows the location and map of the above places, but also the various bus stops, private car rentals, and walking tours.

"I'm not afraid of people pondering." After Mr. Bu muttered, he turned to the next page.

There are a few things to keep on this page. Including hotel notices, health checks, emergency calls and so on.

When Master Bu read all the contents, he called the chief and the little servant over again, and told them to go to the service desk downstairs and exchange all the silver they brought for local currency.

Although Master Bu despised the Cao gang in terms of ideology, this does not mean that he has no wisdom in life. On the contrary, the truth of people under the eaves is still very clear, especially for a square person like him who is used to doing things according to the rules.

Therefore, when he saw the exchange instructions on the guide, he did it in time: during the stay of the foreign businessman, he must go to the designated place to exchange the money in his hand for local currency before he can spend it. This exchange is two-way, and the business traveler can also exchange the money back before leaving.

This monetary policy, which was essentially a two-dollar monetary policy, was implemented at the beginning of this year after the general meeting: from January 1629, within the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the empire (Taiwan Island), the use of the old system of silver money was no longer allowed for daily consumption, and it was forced to switch to a mixed monetary system of silver money and paper money.

The chief and the little servant answered the call and went downstairs with the burden of silver. There are many places designated by the Ministry of Finance to exchange money, including banks in commercial areas, savings points in residential areas, and the front desks of foreign-related institutions such as Taijiang Hotel.

So the two men were gone, and they came back after about half an hour.

After a "bang", Chang Sui Bugui poured the banknotes and silver dollars in the baggage on the table: "Master, it's all changed." ”

"Well, I'll see." At this time, Master Bu put down the tea bowl, sat up, and used two fingers to clip out a shiny silver coin from the pile of banknotes on the table.

What caught the eyes of Master Bu was a silver cake the size of a walnut with no hole in the middle.

First, the edge of the silver cake has a dense ring of straight teeth. The next outer ring is engraved with a wyvern with horns and claws; This lifelike, scaly wyvern just circled the silver coin, head to tail, and looked very delicate.

The following is the pattern that surprised Master Bu: in the center of the silver coin is the head of a man who is about the year he was standing. The man wore a crown on his head, his neck was exposed, and his resolute gaze slanted into the distance, solemn and domineering, not angry and arrogant.

Although Master Bu said that he used copper coins and silver ingots on weekdays, he immediately relied on his keen political sense to guess the intention of this portrait: this is the name of the year, which is the same as the words of the emperor Tongbao on the copper coin!

Holding back the turmoil in his heart, Master Bu turned the silver coin over the reverse side with trembling fingers.

The outer ring on the reverse side also has a flying dragon, but the dragon head and tail are opposite to the front side. The design in the center of the coin is simple and straightforward: the traditional Chinese character "Yiyuan" surrounded by ears of wheat and rice.

Below the two big characters of "Yiyuan" written vertically, there are several Arabic numerals of the new calendar, "1850", which Master Bu did not know.

"The money was cashed over the counter? Can it be named? After reading the silver coin carefully, Master Bu first closed his eyes for a while, and then he slowly opened his eyes and opened his mouth to ask.

Seeing the old man's question, Chang Sui Bu Gui hurriedly replied: "My lord, it's all from the counter." Listening to the court, this Qian official's name is Yinyang, and there is a nickname named Cao Datou. ”

"Cao Datou...... Hum...... Cao Datou. Master Bu laughed angrily at this time: "I can't get rid of that General Cao, what a proper name!" ”

Bu Mo, the little guy on the side, is not very old, so his ability to look at his eyes is still poor. Seeing that his master was laughing, the child thought that the master really liked this exquisite silver cake, so Bu Mo hurriedly picked up a piece of silver with two fingers, puffed up his cheeks and blew it vigorously on his mouth, and then put the silver coin in the master's ear like a treasure: "Master, listen to this sound!" The court said that this was a defense ...... Oh, anti-counterfeiting, other companies can't cast such a loud one. ”

"Do you still need to listen?" Master Bu shook his head, drove the long echo from the silver coin out of his ears, and then he stared at the fine hair molded out of Cao's image, and said leisurely: "It's this pattern and color, which craftsman in Daming can cast it?" Hmph, this one can be exchanged for a tael of silver, right? ”

Chang Sui Bu Gui had already sensed the master's displeasure at this time, so he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, the total weight of the silver ocean in this garden is seven coins and two cents, and we have exchanged one or two pieces of silver on the counter." ”

Master Bu snorted coldly and said, "No loss, this kind of workmanship, seven dollars is worth one tael." ”

Comrade Bu Daxing subconsciously said this sentence, which just pointed out the real price of Yinyang at the moment. In fact, since the release of this "Cao Datou" at the beginning of the year, its exchange ratio with ordinary silver has never fallen out of 110%.

In other words, in private exchange activities other than the official exchange points, each silver dollar can always be exchanged for more than one tael or one piece of broken silver, and at one time at first, it can even be exchanged for one tael or three coins.

The delicate pattern, the precise and consistent individual weight, the scratch-resistant edges, and the distinctive humming sound of the silver coins were as technological as the Zippo windproof lighter was to the fire sickle, and were quickly discovered and recognized by the Ming people, making the price of Cao Datou strong for a long time.

After inspecting the silver coins, Master Bu looked at the pile of colorful banknotes on the table one by one.

The pattern on the banknote is similar to that of a silver coin, with a bust of Cao on the front and a denomination of the banknote in traditional Chinese characters and various flowers on the back.

It's just that according to the different denominations, these images have also changed into marshal uniforms, suits, tunics and other clothing, and someone's head shape is also constantly switching between styles such as big back, three or seven points, and middle points...... It seems that Mr. Cao is really attentive this time, for fear that there will be no material when future generations issue new versions of banknotes, so he took n multi-high-definition digital photos.

Master Bu quickly saw the fame from this pile of banknotes: the larger the denomination, the larger the volume of the banknotes. Except for the smallest "One Cent" denomination on which a middle-aged man in his forties with a big back is the pattern, the pattern on the rest of the Yuan Jiaofen, although the clothing has changed, is still the same General Cao.

After carefully reading all the banknotes, Master Bu laughed twice again.

However, the master was not laughed at this time. Master Bu is a scholar, and he knows a lot about a series of operations after the Ming Dynasty issued the "treasure banknote". Including the brain-dead behavior of the government not accepting the treasure money issued by itself when collecting taxes, including the failure of the treasure banknote, Master Bu was very clear before and after.

Therefore, when he saw these banknotes on the table, it was easy to think of the essence of banknotes: this is the "treasure banknote", no matter how beautifully printed, it is used to loot the people's fat and ointment.

"Let's see how it ends!" After Master Bu laughed twice, he couldn't help but feel much better, he was already fantasizing about the future of these unlearned and unskilled Haikou officials.

......

After checking the banknotes, Mr. Bu became in a good mood. Stretching his waist, he turned his head to look out the window, and found that the sky was covered with burning clouds, and Taijiang was already shrouded in golden light—it was time for dinner.

"Yinyang lock up, bring some banknotes, let's go to the restaurant!"

After knocking on the suite on the other side of the corridor and calling the master and servant of Tang Jing above, Master Bu and his party went downstairs to forage for food.

Taking out the accommodation guide in his sleeve and following the map along the way, Master Bu easily found the nearby food street. Then under the influence of Fang Tangjing, the old man entered a century-old aboriginal store of Xingang Society with a white-bearded Lao Suo as a signboard.

This fried chicken restaurant, which is run by naturalized Xingang people, is doing very well. Mr. Bu and his entourage sat on the novel train seat, ate the signature savage ancestral fried chicken, ate hamburgers, ate old Xingang chicken rolls, drank homemade cola and coffee, and finally ate ice cream.

Afterwards, everyone unanimously stated: It seems that the naturalization of the savages of Xingangshe is still meaningful, and the fried chicken tastes quite good.
