Chapter 210: Heading to Yecheng
"Back to the official, I am a merchant from Yizhou, and I am going to Yecheng to sell some pearls." The special forces pretending to be vendors hurriedly replied.
"Pearl trading?" The customs officer stroked his chin playfully, and said with a smile: "Yizhou is here, Yizhou is a colony." All traders in the colonies were charged twice as much as they were charged. Open your cargo box, and the officer will check it again! β
"Official, I have already checked and paid customs duties when I entered Guangling. And I had never heard of the colonies having to pay more tariffs on commerce......"
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the customs officer: "Presumptuous, dare to argue with this official." You are from the colonies, and you can see that your majesty hates foreign races the most. If you dare to say more, this official will seize all your goods! β
"Yes, yes, I don't dare to wait, just check it!" The special forces immediately weakened.
Yes, there are no more high-tech means of inspection. At present, the inspection still has to rely on manual inspection.
It's a must, if not, you can bring some weapons into the city, and that's fine.
The same is true for commerce, there are no online orders, telephone orders, of course, you have to go to the city to find buyers.
Although commerce and trade have developed greatly, it is still too far away from later generations.
The officers and soldiers guarding the customs carefully inspected it, but after seeing the pearls, their eyes all lit up.
Even if they steal and oppress in various ways, the big head is still eaten by the people above. These small soldiers can only take small heads.
This kind of pearl is not something they can afford.
And the official saw that although Lu Bu and his party were tall and big, they all looked like they were easy to bully.
Hmph, since it's from overseas, it must be bullied.
Therefore, this is to steal a handful of pearls on the spot, and then pretend to say that the inspection has passed, and let everyone pay the fee and leave.
Everyone "dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak" and thought they were unlucky.
Then, all the way north, they were all kinds of squeezed.
Xu Shu couldn't help but be annoyed: "I can't imagine that Jizhou has become like this, Cao Pi really deserves to die!" β
Lu Bu just smiled lightly: "If you eat it now, I will let them spit it out." Yecheng has arrived, let's find a place to stay first! β
"Yes, Boss Bu!" Xu Shu responded.
Yes, in order not to reveal his identity, this is Lu Bu's call to everyone.
In order to prevent accidentally calling the wrong one, Lu Bu asked everyone to call it like this all the way.
And the word boss has long been popular by Lu Bu.
The businessman who was once looked down upon has long since become the upper class of society.
Since it is a merchant who came from afar, he is naturally not familiar with Yecheng. Everyone inquired everywhere, how could there be a good inn in Yecheng.
Soon, everyone inquired that the best and most luxurious inn in Yecheng was Yecheng Hotel.
Well, although the name is ordinary, it is an iconic building and a store.
This is a six-story restaurant, which is considered a tall building in this era.
Similarly, LΓΌ Bu also created many departments to manage industry and commerce.
These departments, of course, were also copied from later generations.
Business licenses, tax registration certificates, fire certificates, health permits, and so on.
In other words, it's not like you can just open a store if you want to.
Lu Bu has implemented a society governed by the rule of law, and if he doesn't follow his standards, he will kill you.
Originally, I thought that even if it was the best hotel in Yecheng, it would be nothing more than that. Compared with later generations, it must be more than 108,000 miles behind.
But after entering, Lu Bu realized that he was wrong.
It's really luxurious, and the floor is completely made of marble.
And the walls are all covered with a layer of gold paper, which is completely magnificent.
Damn, this is almost in time for his palace.
Of course, that's ridiculously expensive. People who can really afford to live in Yecheng Hotel are definitely rich or expensive.
Similarly, Lu Bu also had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
Why, because the third floor is the "sauna department".
Pornography, gambling, and drugs, except for drugs that everyone can't do, everything else is done.
is so good at doing business, how can Lu Bu not sigh.
Of course, some things don't change all at once.
The waiter is still habitually called Xiao Er.
The owner of the hotel is still habitually called the shopkeeper.
Under Xiao Er's various temptations, Lu Bu and Xu Shu went to take a "sauna".
Where does Xu Shu dare, it is a big crime to be an unclean official.
Besides, Boss Bu, you have so many beautiful wives at home, why do you come out to eat wild food.
How Lu Bu didn't laugh: "It's just a bath, what is Yuan Zhi thinking?" β
"No, no!"
In this way, Xu Shu was taken to take a bath by Lu Bula.
There are beautiful women rubbing their backs, how uncomfortable.
It's very simple, since he is a rich businessman, he doesn't even take a bath, like a rich businessman.
The performance that should be demanded still has to be wanted.
It's just that Lu Bu will definitely not eat this kind of wild food.
It's simple, it's not clean.
After taking a bath, it is natural to go back to their own house and take a break.
But soon, Xu Shu came to find Lu Bu.
Xu Shu said in a low voice: "Boss Bu, there is a problem with this store. β
Lu Bu instantly straightened up: "Say!" β
Xu Shu said: "I just passed by the entrance of the building and heard someone making noise in the lobby. It turned out that a guest accidentally broke a cup, but the restaurant asked him to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation. The guest refused and wanted to find the shopkeeper theory, but was beaten out. β
"100,000 dollars!" Lu Bu frowned: "What cup is so valuable?" β
You must know that Jingdezhen is still on Sun Quan's territory, and Lu Bu has not yet developed Jingdezhen porcelain.
Xu Shu picked up the cup on the table and said, "Just this cup, although it is white porcelain, it is only a few dozen dollars." The store is asking for 100,000 yuan in compensation, how is it not extortion! β
Lu Bu took the cup and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that this store is a black shop!" β
Xu Shu nodded: "If you don't have a background, you will never dare to be so presumptuous." We show that we are rich businessmen in Yizhou, and maybe the store will design us. β
Lu Bu smiled: "Since this is the case, then I will take the initiative to give them a chance!" β
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu's hand was released, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground instantly.
Xu Shu didn't know Lu Bu's intentions, so he immediately summoned Xiao Er to deliver tea.
Xiao Er quickly entered, and when he saw the broken teacup on the ground, he immediately showed joy.
This is really sent, and you don't have to design it to have an opportunity.
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Guest, it's okay to send tea." It's just that the guest broke the hotel's items, but he had to pay compensation. β
Xu Shu waved his hand: "My boss has money, but it's just a cup, and I'll give it to you when I settle the bill tomorrow." Don't be verbose, hurry up and change the tea! β
was scolded by Lu Bu, how could Xiao Er be happy. You're rich, you're awesome, you're going to cry in a while.
Xiao Er sneered: "Guest, the little one will make it clear to you first, this is not an ordinary cup!" β
"Isn't it just an ordinary cup, what's so surprising?"
Xiao Er's waist straightened, and he coaxed: "This is the porcelain cup given by His Majesty today!" β
