Chapter 031 Weifu Private Interview
"Your Majesty, you can ride a horse here......" After Hong Tao entered the business district, he dismounted. The two guards thought that the emperor did not know much about the rules here, and reminded them in a low voice.
"I know...... Which of you two is going to buy me a big cannibal turban and come back. Hong Tao pursed his lips, he looked down on the consciousness of these soldiers in the Marine Corps, couldn't he use his brain more? Riding a horse into the bustling streets, several heads taller than others, isn't it a target for others, what a quality!
"We're here for a private visit to Weifu, take it easy, stay away from me, and don't show your stuffing!" The headscarf was bought, and Hong Tao took the lead in wrapping it on his head, and by the way, even half of his face was covered, so that outsiders would not recognize him as the emperor. There were also Arab merchants and sailors who followed the ships in Golden River Bay, and it is not too strange to have turbans around their heads.
"Your military uniform ......" Hong Tao looked at the two guards as fools, and people looked at him like fools. What about the private interview, this military uniform with jewel buttons, with gold threads embroidered on the collar, is worn by one person in the whole empire, who is stupid?
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to change my clothes...... I don't have that much money with me, which of you two does? Lend me some and go buy a big cannibal robe and come back! Hong Tao patted his head, how forgetful the nobles are, they forgot their clothes with their heads, but there was nothing in the military uniform, so they couldn't go to the street shirtless.
"I know the owner who sells clothes, he lives on the same street as my family, I'll go and give you a credit to come back......" The guard grinned, he is also the emperor of the empire, and he can die with more money in his pocket! I borrow money everywhere I go, and I don't think about paying it back after I borrow it, and people are embarrassed to chase after it, where is there such an unvirtuous emperor.
"Hey, you two are getting smarter and smarter, deduct the sample, just take credit, anyway, it's yours on credit, I don't care about paying back!" What's more immoral is still to come, it's cost-effective Hong Tao didn't forget, he was determined to take advantage of a small advantage, and he still had the face to say it.
After getting dressed up, Hong Tao dressed as a big cannibal, got out of the back of the house, and walked into the commercial street in a leisurely manner, looking east and west, asking everything, asking everything, for fear of being heard by the people, and deliberately pretending to stammer. The two guards followed a dozen paces away, neither too close to the emperor, nor too much for the emperor to leave his sight, just hoping that the emperor would hurry up and go fishing, and don't wander around here.
Of course, Hong Tao does not have this consciousness, he likes this feeling of snooping on others, only in this case, can he obtain the most authentic information, and on this basis, from another angle, that is, the perspective of ordinary people, to make a new assessment of Jinheguo's opening policy.
The results of the assessment made Hong Tao quite satisfied, originally his estimate was even worse, he felt that there would definitely be a power-for-money transaction, and those who held power would more or less use power to make profits for themselves and their families, which was inevitable in the private economy, and Jinheguo should not be an exception.
However, after visiting for a long time, Hong Tao really did not find this situation, and on the whole, the hands of the officials are still very clean. This phenomenon is also very easy to explain, after all, the opening time has not been long, and everyone is still immersed in the glory of the past, and the spirit is very high. In addition, the gap between the rich and the poor has not really widened, and the laws of the empire are very strict, so everyone does not realize that they can still do this, or they realize that they dare not reach out yet.
"Let's go, I'm in for a treat today, and I'll treat you two to a good meal...... Let's go, I'm in for a treat! Don't believe it, do you? You see, I've got money! "On the whole, the current government of the empire is not bad, and the execution is also very strong, and Emperor Hong is very satisfied. When you are in a good mood, you are prone to spending too much. Seeing that the two guards didn't believe that they really wanted to treat themselves, Hong Tao put his hand into his clothes, fumbled around the waistband of his pants for a long time, and took out two shining gold coins. Their shapes were already a little crooked, and the two soldiers blinked vigorously, wondering where the emperor had hidden the money.
"Don't guess, I have a compartment on my belt. It's called life-saving money, you know? Go back and let your wife make one for you, don't say it's useless, maybe I can save your life when I can. It's better to have a father and a mother than to have it in your own hands, do you understand the famous sayings of wisdom? Hong Tao saw that the two guards were always staring at his waist, and he understood what they were thinking.
"Yo, you two are rare guests at first glance! We are the largest and best restaurant in Jinhe Bay, with everything from the sky to the sky, to the ground, to the east, to the west, to the west! If the two of you are entertaining, there is also a private room. I recommend a rare gadget to you, have you ever heard of a unicorn? O Divine Beast! We have it here, too, how about a roasted unicorn meat? Sprinkle some chili noodles and hey, don't mention how fragrant! The shopkeeper had a good eye, and at a glance he recognized the two guards from their uniforms, and he was particularly enthusiastic. The salary of the Royal Navy is very high, and the salary of the Marine Corps is even higher, and the spending power is strong.
"Don't talk nonsense, return the unicorn meat, you will be blinded, Your Majesty...... Must not be believed! "The Marines are really not easy to be fooled, and the more they have seen and the more they understand. What is the green dragon and white tiger, Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, they don't believe it at all, after all, they have followed the emperor around for more than ten years, and they have seen everything, but they have never seen a divine beast. According to Emperor Hong, there are no divine beasts in the world, and in order to prove his theory, Emperor Hong will kill a few and eat any animals that may look like divine beasts whenever he goes to a place. He took the lead in eating, and whoever dared not to eat was not allowed to go on board.
"Little brother, bring the unicorn you said and I'll see what it is. Let's make a bet that if I get it right, I won't tip you. If I'm wrong, the three of us will give you a copy, what's the matter? You're taking advantage of one game and three of you. "What is the unicorn in Xiao Er's mouth, Hong Tao doesn't know, but there is still fun in taking advantage of this matter to gamble. Hong Tao felt that he had been in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and he had been a little invaded by the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and his gambling interest was getting bigger and bigger.
"Objectively, your accent is really weird, I've never heard it, dare to ask where your old hometown is? Name? After listening to Hong Tao's words, the shopkeeper didn't say that he would bet or say no, but asked about Hong Tao's origin.
"My hometown...... Iraq, my name is Hussein. Saddam! Hong Tao began to talk nonsense again, and he was now beginning to suspect this shopkeeper, because just a few seconds ago, he saw a familiar light in the shopkeeper's eyes. This kind of look has been seen in the eyes of many people in the Ministry of Supervision before, and the origin of this shopkeeper is not simple.
"Iraq...... It's a big food country, right? The unicorn is too big to take it, if the guest officer wants to see it, we have a unicorn map here, I will go to the counter to get it, please ...... later" Listening to Hong Tao's answer, the shopkeeper's face was overshadowed, but he still maintained a professional smile and retired to the counter.
"You two just revealed my identity to someone else, right? Cheng, you two boys wait, one day when I become the commander of the fleet again, I will let the two of you taste what the sea is like in every sea, and more so that you two can write a book! Taking advantage of Xiao Er's efforts to get the unicorn map, Hong Tao looked at the scenery of the commercial dock from the window, and then found a face that he was very unhappy to see, Ciqi was wearing civilian clothes and mingling in the crowd in front of the teahouse opposite. Since he came, he must have been surrounded by special personnel from the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Supervision or the police department, which means that his whereabouts have been exposed. Hong Tao was very confident in his makeup skills, so it must have been these two guards who exposed him, and Ciqi was called when they went to help him buy clothes and headscarves.
"Your Majesty, this is your own rule, we are just enforcing the ......" The two guards did not dare to be careless, they were convinced that if there was another war, the emperor would definitely have a way to become the commander of the navy again. And this emperor has a good memory, especially grudges.
"I'll give you two a chance to atone for your sins now, and it's up to you to see if you can seize it......" Hong Tao didn't want to wait so long to take revenge, he wanted to take revenge in the world.
“…… You order, we're in for a treat! The two guards looked at each other for a while, and they understood what this opportunity was, and the Emperor was going to eat again!
"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm so embarrassed, I should have invited you...... "You have to have to be faced."
"It's our strong request, please give us a chance!" The two guards were insistent.
"Alright then, I'll see what this unicorn is first...... Gotcha, little two, you won't be able to earn my tip today. This is a hippopotamus, there are a lot of them on the African continent, and you guys are from Cape Town, right? Emperor Hong was so gracious that he reluctantly agreed to the guards' request to pay the bill for him, and then took a picture handed over by Xiao Er, and after only one glance, he lost Xiao Er's tip.
"Your Majesty, Shengming, if I knew that you were here, I wouldn't dare to make this bet with you, and I lost my tip for nothing......" The shopkeeper smiled cheaply.
“…… How do you know who I am! Hong Tao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two guards again, they notified Ciqi even if they didn't forget it, how could they even tell the shopkeeper!
"Your Majesty, don't blame the two of them, it's the ID card around your neck that is exposed......" The shopkeeper didn't go to embarrass the two guards, and immediately answered Hong Tao's questions.
“…… Don't make a noise, don't laugh so tastelessly, go get me a roasted unicorn meat, some side dishes, a pot of big food and wine, and they will pay the bill! Only then did Hong Tao realize that he was careless, and when he was drinking tea just now, he lifted half of his headscarf and accidentally exposed the base of his neck. It seems that the level of this shopkeeper in the Ministry of Supervision is not low, and he can read the identity of others through the password under the ID card, and he is a specially trained person.
