Zhu Yuanzhang planned to stay in Shanghu County for a few days, and planned to choose an inn first, and put his things and luggage in the room first.

Picking and choosing, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the so-called Buckingham Palace was the most in line with his requirements.

From the outside, Buckingham Palace is covered with white tiles, which looks very clean and tidy.

The architectural style of Buckingham Palace is inclined to Gothic, so it looks peculiar, but it has a unique flavor.

"That's it."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang took a few people with him to Buckingham Palace.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw several beautiful women in strange costumes, standing on both sides of the door.

When Zhu Yuanzhang passed by, these beauties bent down neatly and bowed, and said with a smile:

"Welcome to Buckingham Palace and have a nice stay!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt novel, although he had never seen such a way of welcoming guests, but he inexplicably felt pleasing to the eye.

It's the clothes these women are wearing, which are a little more revealing.

The forks of the skirt are open to the thighs, which is really indecent.

Zhu Yuanzhang gradually walked to the center of the hall with curiosity.

It was found that this Buckingham Palace was indeed different from the usual inns.

The hall on the first floor does not have any tables or chairs for people to eat, only a few pieces of furniture for people to rest.

Everything else is absent, giving it a sense of simplicity and comfort.

The decoration in the hall is also very luxurious, just a huge glass cup hanging upside down above the hall, I am afraid that it is not less than 100,000 taels of silver.

The floor is paved with white tiles, and it can be seen that the owner's hygiene is excellent.

Zhu Yuanzhang could even see his own reflection on those tiles.

At this moment, Xiao Er of Buckingham Palace saw someone coming, and he also stepped forward cordially.

"A few guest officers, I don't know if it's a tip or a hotel?"

"Stay!"

"Okay, please come to me, go to the front desk to register the information first."

Xiao Er led the way for Zhu Yuanzhang and others in front, and said at the same time:

"The housing time on our side is from the afternoon of the day to the afternoon of the next day."

"If you want to check out, please inform the front desk in advance, and we will arrange a special person to clean the room."

With that, a few people came to the front desk.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this inn was quite satisfied, and asked casually:

"How do you calculate the price of the house here?"

The reception at the front desk is also a beautiful woman.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he immediately showed a sweet smile and asked Zhu Yuanzhang:

"I wonder if you need a single or twin room?"

"Oh, I wonder how much this single bed room costs? How much does a twin room cost? ”

The front desk continued with a professional smile and said:

"A single room costs 8 taels of silver for a night, and a twin room costs 10 taels of silver."

What!! 10 taels of silver for a night?

This is to take us as the big one!

"Do you think this is the Imperial Palace? The charges are so high?? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately scolded loudly.

"What about your shopkeepers? I want to see your treasurer. ”

At this moment, the shopkeeper of Buckingham Palace had just come down from upstairs and saw Zhu Yuanzhang shouting at the front desk, so he hurriedly ran forward.

"Guest officer, I don't know what makes you dissatisfied?"

Looking at the shopkeeper's chubby face, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:

"Why is your family so expensive? Even the best inn in the capital is not as expensive as yours!! ”

"Is this treating us as wronged?"

The inn immediately smiled and said:

"Don't be angry, our Buckingham Palace is expensive, so naturally there is a reason why it is expensive."

"Everyone, please go upstairs with me and have a look, and you will understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in any inn at all, and he could ask for ten taels of silver a night.

"Lead the way, if you dare to deceive us, we have to smash your inn."

The shopkeeper immediately took Zhu Yuanzhang and them and walked upstairs.

On the fourth floor, the shopkeeper casually found a vacant room, then opened the door and let a few people in.

"Look, everyone, each of our rooms is one."

"Not only are there places to stay, but even the latrines are separate."

"And you can also take a shower in the room, and these are all ready-made."

"Guest officer, please look here, this thing is called a faucet, you just need to gently unscrew it, and you can get out of the water."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper gently turned on the faucet, and sure enough, he saw a stream of clear water gushing out.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had never seen such a magical thing, and they were extremely surprised.

Zhu Di also reached out and took a handful, tasted it, and felt that it was no different from the water he usually drank.

"It's called tap water, and although it's convenient, it's all about money."

"And this thing, called a shower, you can take a shower by standing at the bottom, and there is hot water here."

"All of these things are free of charge, and the guest officer can also receive the breakfast service provided by the store for free every morning."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the shopkeeper's gushing introduction, but he was looking around the room.

The room is open from north to south, and the windows are wide open, so you can clearly feel the breeze blowing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the big bed in the center of the room, which was covered with a neat and clean white quilt.

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he was trapped in it.

Standing up suddenly, he realized that the bed was so soft.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and asked:

"Now the guest officer thinks that these ten taels of silver are worth the money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the balcony, through which he could clearly see the whole picture of Shanghu County.

There is also this independent toilet in the room, a bathing place, and the service is so thoughtful, does it cost so much money.

"Give us four single rooms."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma have one room, and the remaining three people have one room.

"Okay, guest officer, please come down and register the information."

After the shopkeeper came down, he instructed Xiao Er to put the luggage of several people into the room.

asked the front desk to register information for Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and at this time they needed a guide.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared, and their guide was the information of the merchants in the capital.

After everything was registered, Zhu Yuanzhang finished paying the money and was about to leave, but the front desk stopped them.

"Guest, please take your consumption bill!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.

Bill? What is it for?

"The guest officer is an outsider, right?"

At this time, the shopkeeper also stepped forward to explain.

"This bill is your consumption record, and we have to provide a bill for anything we buy and sell in Shanghai County."

"We businessmen have to pay taxes to the county government according to this bill."

Zhu Yuanzhang can understand the bill, but since it is something that businessmen use to pay taxes, what does it have to do with him?

"You merchants can keep this thing, why do you want to give us a copy?"

Even if the tax stamps are used to pay taxes, they have nothing to do with the guests.

The shopkeeper went on to explain:

"This thing is not just for paying taxes, it's also a kind of voucher."

"Imagine that if you buy something and don't know whether it's true or not, when you find out that it's fake, if the merchant doesn't return it to you, won't you lose a lot?"

"At this time, you only need to take out this bill to prove that this item was indeed bought here."

"In our Shanghu County, merchants who sell fake goods will pay ten for one fake."

"It's also a way to protect your guests."

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood, he didn't expect this consumption bill to have this kind of function.

He reached out and took his bill, and saw that it was written the amount of this consumption, as well as the amount of tax to be paid.

When he saw the tax amount, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

I saw that it said that the consumption amount was 32 taels of silver, but the tax amount reached an astonishing 3.2 taels, a full one percent of the tax.

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly furious and shouted:

"Why is this tax so high? Ten taxes one? ”

"Our Ming law clearly stipulates that the commercial tax is only thirty taxes and one."

Shopkeeper says:

"This is the stipulation of my county magistrate, in our Shanghu County, we have to pay one out of ten taxes."

"No one can evade taxes, and once discovered, they will immediately search their homes and deport them."

Zhu Yuanzhang is blinded, it's this Li Jin again, we only need thirty taxes and one, but he raised it three times?

Is he still an individual? Dog officer.

We're going to kill him!!
