Chapter 178 I bought happiness
I originally wanted to take a leave, but I found that I couldn't afford it..
With the help of Sun Xian, Emperor Wanli sat in a wheelchair and looked at all the shops in Wanli Street.
"Sun Xian, I want to test you. Look at what the building in front is for?"
Sun Xian looked along the place where Emperor Wanli pointed, and he saw a tall building called Zhaixing Tower.
The height of this building is the tallest building in Wanli Street.
Compared with other shops on the three or two floors next to it, this building is more than twice as high.
Moreover, its appearance design can almost be called a transgression. Its eaves are actually made of yellow glazed tiles and the unique flying eaves of the Forbidden City! However, the number of flying eaves of the building is quite restrained.
There is only one on each raised eaves, and it is much smaller than the beast on the eaves of the Forbidden City.
Seeing this, Sun Xian was still secretly shocked. Could it be that this is also the emperor's property?
Sun Xian didn't dare to guess, and finally he said, "I was stupid and couldn't tell what kind of building this is. But I was sure that this store must be the most noble building in Wanli Street."
After hearing Sun Xian's words, Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "I know you can't guess it. I'll tell you. This is a royal hotel! It is currently affiliated with my treasury, but it is still nominally hung in Xishan Royal Village. According to the prince's meaning, this is a hotel comparable to a five-star rating. Do you know the five-star rating?"
When it comes to five-star rating, Emperor Wanli was excited. He had never thought of this idea. This was mentioned to him by Zhu Changluo.
Zhu Changluo said at the time: "Father, our entertainment city must have a landmark building. Erchen thinks that this landmark building is made of a super luxurious hotel. In Erchen's vision, this hotel must have a five-star standard. It will become the best hotel in the Ming Dynasty. It will use the best service staff and service attitude, so that every guest can enjoy a top-notch luxury experience after arriving at our hotel. This will not only create the reputation of our entertainment city, but also attract countless rich people to join our hotel and give us silver."
However, Sun Xian must not know this.
So, when Emperor Wanli asked Sun Xian again, he could only shake his head and replied, "I don't know."
Emperor Wanli said: "Looking at your stupidity, you will definitely not be able to guess what a five-star rating is. I will tell you. This five-star hotel is to make customers feel at home, and it is even better than their home. The service staff inside uniformly provide a smile service that does not fight back without scolding or whispering. Moreover, after my special approval, the top suite here was built according to the prince's rules. When you climb on the roof, you can also overlook the panoramic view of the entire Wanli Street. It is a good place that cannot be better."
When Sun Xian heard Emperor Wanli praise the hotel so much, he asked, "How much does it cost to stay here for one night?"
Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "It's not expensive or not. This price was set by the prince and I. The ordinary guest room is only three taels of silver per night, the standard guest room is five taels of silver per night, the luxury suite is ten taels of silver per night, and the prince's suite is one hundred taels of silver per night. And the price must be adjusted according to the needs."
Sun Xian was speechless after hearing this. Isn’t this expensive?
A three-two silver is not a small amount. The workers in the capital only cost sixty or seventy cents a day. They don’t earn enough money for a month to stay here for one night.
However, this amount of money is indeed cheap for the local rich people in the capital.
The cheapest tea and water for a kiln in the capital is about two taels of silver for a night, which does not include the overnight cost of the girls. Therefore, the price of these three taels and one night is just a sprinkling of water for them.
However, this Zhaixing Tower is different from the kilns outside. It is an inn. According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", all inns are not allowed to operate paid services with colors, and drinking wine is definitely prohibited here.
So can it be sold so expensive here?
The answer is: Sure!
Because, the rooms in Zhaixing Tower sell a luxury that cannot be experienced elsewhere and a glory that cannot be experienced elsewhere.
Think about it, top-level suites are the standard of the prince! This is a standard that even if you have money, you cannot enjoy it! Whoever dares to enjoy it privately is that it is a presumption! What will happen if you are a presumption? The minor ones are exiled, and the worst ones are killed!
Therefore, with the Prince's Suite as a gimmick, it would be difficult for Zhaixing Tower to be popular in Wanli Street and even in the capital!
After a long time of conversation, Emperor Wanli finally rubbed his hands and stared at the tall Zhaixing Tower.
He said to Sun Xian: "You go and make a room for me first, and then book the largest and most luxurious prince suite, and let the Dongchang pay the money."
After hearing this, Sun Xian froze his professional smile, which was still on his face, suddenly froze.
What? Dongchang pays money? Can Dongchang pay money to stay in a hotel? In the end, I have to pay for the money myself!
When Sun Xian's tears of distress were almost falling when the top prince's suite that Emperor Wanli mentioned just now cost 100 taels of silver per night.
However, he did not dare to disobey Emperor Wanli's intentions, so he could only pretend to be flattered and nodded, and then went to book a room obediently.
After Sun Xian left, Emperor Wanli, who was properly protected by the guards, kept looking at Zhaixing Tower.
From the moment he stepped into Wanli Street, his eyes were attracted by the tallest building. He wanted to stay for one night and experience the feeling of looking at the small mountains at the top of Zhaixing Tower. What he is thinking about now is the most luxurious and luxurious restaurant and inn on Wanli Street.
The construction of this hotel was filled with the countless efforts of Emperor Wanli. When he supervised the Wanli Street project, this place was the most important thing he was in mind.
He participated in the design of Zhaixing Tower throughout the whole process, so when he saw the Zhaixing Tower with magnificent lights on, he couldn't help but want to stay for a night and enjoy it.
After a while, Sun Xian came back cursingly.
However, when he arrived at Emperor Wanli, he put away his emotions, but he still said angrily, "Old Master, they actually rented out the prince's suite. The slave asked them to blow people, but they didn't listen. They said that Zhaixing Tower regarded customers as the most important thing, and all services were only for the guests in the hotel, but they didn't listen to the slave. They asked a person who had no identity to live in the prince's suite, which was a transgression!"
After hearing Sun Xian’s complaint, Emperor Wanli sighed regretfully, "Forget it. The prince’s suite was really approved by him, and it is not a breach of being moved in. Now there are already guests, and I can’t break the rules, I just can’t live there."
Although Emperor Wanli said this, he actually cared very much. Just as Sun Xian pushed him forward, he turned back several times to see the top of Zhaixing Tower.
Sun Xian also understood the thoughts of Emperor Wanli. If it were in the past, Sun Xian would definitely take action without hesitation and let the other party see what it means to be arrogant!
But now it's different.
Now, ghosts know that the boss behind Wanli Street is His Royal Highness Zhu Changluo. If anyone dares to smash the scene in Wanli Street, Sun Xian’s understanding of Zhu Changluo will definitely make the man regret it in minutes, and the final blame will be taken by the East Factory.
This is really a sin!
Emperor Wanli and his group were wandering around. At this moment, the guards behind Emperor Wanli were forced to stand up around Emperor Wanli. They were now carrying Emperor Wanli's winnings in big bags.
Sun Xian looked at Emperor Wanli who bought and bought, and kept admonishing: "Emperor, we don't lack these things in the palace."
Emperor Wanli listened to Sun Xian’s nagging voice and said annoyedly: “What do you know? Do I buy these things? I buy happiness. If you don’t go shopping by yourself, you won’t understand.”
Sun Xian was speechless when Emperor Wanli said this.
Is it really happy to go shopping? But why do I feel so tired when I go shopping?
Sun Xian didn't dare to question it, he said, "The Emperor, the guards have mentioned a lot now. I am worried about your safety."
Emperor Wanli said: "What are you afraid of in Wanli Street? Who dares to make trouble in Wanli Street? The property security guards on Wanli Street can take him down immediately. I have authorized the prince. The property security guards on Wanli Street can work in the form of Jinyiwei. They can enforce the law on anyone who breaks the rules of Wanli Street in Wanli Street."
After hearing Emperor Wanli's words, Sun Xian couldn't help but take a breath. Is this power given too much?
But when Sun Xian thought that the other party was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he felt that this was fine. However, Sun Xian was still worried that the property security guards on Wanli Street would steal the job of Dongchang? This made Sun Xian very confused.
Just as Sun Xian was thinking about it, their group finally arrived at the main square of Wanli Street.
At this time, the big square was gradually crowded with crowds everywhere. If the security guards on Wanli Street were not working hard to maintain order on the scene, they would probably be in chaos now.
However, Emperor Wanli was not only not bad when he saw this scene, but he was very happy.
Because these people are all silver!
What can they do when they come to Wanli Street? They must eat, drink and have fun, right? Whether they go to the self-operated store in Xishan Huangzhuang or other shops, the money they sold in the end will be taxed to the treasury.
Don't mention how happy I was when I received this money.
Therefore, Emperor Wanli was happy to see this scene.
Emperor Wanli, sitting in a wheelchair, still couldn't squeeze in after several efforts from Sun Xian.
In the end, Emperor Wanli, who was anxious to watch the Wanli Street Square party, finally couldn't hold back.
He said to Sun Xian: "You go find the prince and ask him to arrange a seat for me."
After Sun Xian heard the orders of Emperor Wanli, he immediately went to find Zhu Changluo.
Sun Xian, who was so fat, crossed the turbulent sea of people all the way through the crowd, and he finally saw Zhu Changluo's shadow.
Sun Xian immediately shouted loudly: "Crown Prince, I am Sun Xian!"
After Zhu Changluo heard Sun Xian's voice, he could see the fat Sun Xian in the crowd, who was like a wave.
Zhu Changluo said to the people around him: "Go and take Eunuch Sun over."
Immediately, a team of security guards came to the crowd and built a wall of people that could barely pass through.
Sun Xian touched and sweated to Zhu Changluo.
Sun Xian bowed to Zhu Changluo, then carefully leaned over and said, "Master, the emperor is here. The emperor wants you to arrange a seat. He wants to watch tonight's party performance."
Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "I understand."
Then, Zhu Changluo said to Wei Zhongxian standing beside him: "Give me the door sign to Eunuch Sun."
Wei Zhongxian immediately took out a chapter of exquisite door sign from his arms.
On the front is the seal script "Wanli" surrounded by auspicious cloud patterns, and on the back is the two neatly written characters "Jiayi".
Zhu Changluo said: "This is the best prince's suite in Zhaixing Tower. You can take it to your father. It is the most suitable place to watch the evening performances here in Zhaixing Tower's highest prince's suite."
When Sun Xian received the door sign, he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately bowed to Zhu Changluo and left in a hurry.
After Sun Xian returned to Emperor Wanli, he respectfully handed the door sign to Emperor Wanli.
When Emperor Wanli saw this kind of door sign, his mood instantly improved.
"It turns out that the prince had guessed that I was coming."
Emperor Wanli was so happy that he lost the best suite in Zhaixing Tower and found it again. Not everyone can understand this feeling.
After all, it is the first day of business. If someone else has lived there and then go to live there, then it will be much worse.
Unexpectedly, the prince was so sensible that he had left the prince's suite long ago.
Seeing Emperor Wanli happy, Sun Xian also followed Emperor Wanli's mood and said, "This is all the pure filial piety of the prince. He must have thought that the emperor would come early in the morning. So, he left the best position for the emperor."
Emperor Wanli nodded, "You are right. The prince has been sensible since he was a child. He will feel sorry for me more than anyone else. This child is so considerate."
Sun Xian said: "That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks about the emperor in everything, and the servants feel ashamed of themselves."
Emperor Wanli said, "Of course you are not as good as you. He is my son. Can you compare with me?"
Sun Xian trembled in fear and slapped the round and chubby face here, "Slaves should die, how can a slave compare with His Royal Highness, a slave deserves to die."
Looking at Sun Xian who was slapped in the face, Emperor Wanli said, "Okay, okay, I don't know your little thoughts yet? Push me to Zhaixing Tower quickly, and the party will begin."
Sun Xian stopped immediately and replied: "Yes."
Sun Xian pushed Emperor Wanli to Zhaixing Tower. After arriving at Zhaixing Tower, the lobby manager of Zhaixing Tower saw the door sign in Sun Xian's hand, immediately came respectfully to Emperor Wanli, Sun Xian and others and bowed to him. Then, with a professional smile, he asked gently: "Hello, distinguished guest, what can I do to serve you?"
Emperor Wanli said, "Go upstairs!"
After hearing Emperor Wanli's request, the lobby manager looked at Emperor Wanli and the body of the fat man behind him. His face narrowed, but out of professional training, he immediately smiled and replied, "Customer, wait, I'll make arrangements."
Chapter completed!
