Chapter 9 What's the New Thing?

Zhu Di said excitedly: "No! We rode the one called... Just call the bike a fresh item back and you're good to go. ”

If Xu Zilin knew that he let Emperor Yongle pedal his bicycle in Penglai County, he would be able to scare his little life.

"How's that going to work? You spend a lot of money here in me, and you are also a valuable guest, and you don't have to take care of the carriage and horses, and there are too many tourists recently, how can you be comfortable squeezing the inn?

"Li Da, you personally send the two of you to the inn, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes!"

Li Da bowed his head.

Xu Zilin patted Li Da on the shoulder, "It's still early, the two of you go to the residence to settle down and rest, and you can walk around in my Penglai County in the evening." ”

The hotel of the county government is also set up by Xu Zilin, and it is the place where the officials of the county government and the county government stay if they have relatives from other places to visit.

Or the senior officials who came to Penglai County to inspect and inspect, and it is inconvenient to squeeze the inn hotel with tourists, so they are also arranged here.

The front desk saw that two people were coming, and Li Da, a big celebrity around the county order, personally escorted them and immediately entertained them.

"Two distinguished guests, please come with me."

The front desk and two clerks guide the two upstairs, and the decoration here is simple and elegant, whether it is the murals on the walls or the carpets, the color patterns are very harmoniously designed.

"It doesn't seem to be anything precious on the ground."

Ji Gang looked down and whispered to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded, he was used to seeing the bricks and stones paved in the palace, and each piece was worth a lot of money. The paving in the palace of the imperial grandmother is a priceless brick and jade, with delicate and non-slip lines.

After hearing it from behind, the clerk smiled and said: "This is proposed by the county magistrate, all the inns and restaurants in Penglai County, where the guests stay, must be covered with soft carpets in the corridors." ”

Why is that? As I recall, these things were also laid out in the tavern rooms. Ji Gang was a little puzzled.

The clerk nodded, "Yes, the county order said, whether it is a wooden floor or a brick and stone, the hard soles will make a lot of noise when they walk up, affecting the living and resting of the guests on both sides of the corridor, haven't you noticed?" When we walk on it, there will be no noise or noise. ”

Really! Zhu Di observed the same.

"What is this carpet made of? All the inns in the city have to be laid, but it is a large expense. ”

Zhu Di is most concerned about local expenditures.

The clerk smiled and said, "How come?" This mural is when Xu Xianling went out to buy pastries, and after meeting a group of homeless people who were painting in the sand, he recruited them to paint the buildings in the city, and paid them according to the size, and placed a large number of homeless people. ”

"This carpet is made by the women of all the residents of the county who have eaten the relief food distributed by the county government from discarded cloth and wool removed from the butcher's house, and the inns buy it at a slightly lower price than the market price, and the residents can also share the money."

"Unexpectedly, this Xu Zilin is quite economical."

Ji Gang muttered.

The clerk was surprised that Ji Gang called the name of the county order, and speculated that this person's official position must be above the county order.

"Here we are."

The clerk stopped at the door and pushed the door open for the two.

"Two masters, we will boil the hot water downstairs, if you need it, shake the bell at the door of the room, and there will be a little two on each floor to serve you." If you want to eat, you can take food from all the restaurants, so you just need to write it down with a pen and paper in the house and put it at the door and ring the rattle. ”

Zhu Di and the others walked into the room, the room was not big, but it was very bright and tidy.

Ji Gang nodded, "Okay, you go down." ”

There were only two people left in the room, and Zhu Di and Ji Gang glanced at each other and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Di asked Ji Gang with a smile.

Ji Gang smiled innocently, "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that such a remote and barren place in Penglai County could have such a genius." ”

Zhu Di nodded, "Yes, I think so too." The services everywhere here have been done to the extreme, no wonder outsiders are also willing to come to Penglai County for tourism, it turns out that there are county officials who are so aware of public opinion. ”

Ji Gang spied on Zhu Di's meaning, pursed his lips, and said: "According to the humble position, this person's talent is really condescending to be a county official." ”

Zhu Di glanced at him, sat on the rattan chair by the window, and hummed meaningfully.

The court employs people, officials are promoted, and it is necessary to be famous and make real achievements and deeds, so that they can be promoted, otherwise, there will always be unwarranted gossip.

Although he is a great tomorrow, it is not good to return to the capital with a county official in a small border county.

What's more, it is still his own crown prince Zhu Gaochi who is in power now, and the royal father and son must always avoid suspicion.

"Let's wait for him to do something." Zhu Di looked out the window, thoughtful, but was attracted by the noisy sound downstairs.

"What's the situation?"

Ji Gang walked to the window and saw the clothing store across the street, which was beating gongs and drums and shouting, and a lot of people had gathered.

"A clothing store, and you still have to set up a stall to sell?"

Ji Gang put his hand on the pergola and looked out, but saw that the shop opposite had a red carpet, which occupied most of the street, and the surrounding residents spontaneously formed a circle.

Zhu Di was also curious, but saw the proprietress of the clothing store opposite, who was over half a hundred years old, banging on the gong and shouting: "Come and take a look when you pass by!" Take a look! The new autumn products are on sale in advance, and you can enjoy 20% off when you buy this week! The catwalk is folded and folded! ”

The two looked at each other.

What the hell is this saying?

Ji Gang's mentality is about to collapse.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, the personal guard of the Ming Emperor.

How do you feel like coming to a small town in the middle of nowhere, like a bun entering the city?

And......

Ji Gang couldn't help but look at Zhu Di with a black line on his face.

Your Majesty, I don't seem to understand......

"Shall we go down and have a look, Your Majesty?"

Ji Gang said cautiously.

Zhu Di nodded, and the two went downstairs in silence.

A Yongle Emperor, a commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, gathered in the crowd to see an incomprehensible liveliness.

"Hey, what is this doing?"

Ji Gang used a foreign accent to poke the local middle-aged man who applauded on the side.

The man was very enthusiastic, "Two out-of-town tourists, right?" This is the pioneer of our county commander. Clothing stores, cloth stores, etc., in the county, where there is unsalable, you can hold exhibitions and catwalks. You see! ”

On the red carpet, several young women, wearing the new clothes of the clothing store, took turns to walk and generously showed them to onlookers.

"These people are called 'models', which is also the name given by the county magistrate, if you buy their autumn clothes now, you can enjoy the 'discount on the discount', which is much cheaper than buying it again in season. Oh, my lady is also rushing to buy it. ”

The man pointed out, and sure enough, the proprietress was surrounded by enthusiastic women, and they all reported the model's number and booked clothes.
