Chapter 126 Your Majesty understands Ouyang Lun very well! ! (Please subscribe!!)
Soon everyone was eating and drinking. After all, sitting on the third floor, accompanied by beautiful women, playing beautiful melodies, overlooking the carefully choreographed dance on the stage below, it was like being in a heavenly palace!
Only the parties involved can experience this enjoyment.
Especially Li Shanchang and others were completely immersed in it, with expressions of enjoyment on their faces. As the former Prime Minister of the country, they lived a life that they thought was like a fairy after their retirement. However, after experiencing it in this heaven and earth today, they finally realized that Knowing that there are mountains beyond the mountains, they think that they live a luxurious life in front of heaven and earth, which is the level of the first and second floors.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little reserved at first, but after three rounds of drinking, he drank several jars of Maotai wine, and beautiful women sang and danced to cheer him up. The scene became more and more enthusiastic, and Zhu Yuanzhang gradually let go, and he was so happy after drinking.
His Majesty the Emperor took the lead, and Li Fuyuan/Wu Jingzhi/He Fang and others also transformed into top "salesmen", accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang to cheer for their experience!
All in all, in the end, it was a complete fun for the host and guest!
Seeing that everyone was almost drunk, I originally wanted to go to Lucky Casino for a second game. At the critical moment, Queen Ma stood up and said that it was getting late and everyone was already tired from traveling and traveling, so they had to rest first.
Ouyang Lun nodded repeatedly, "Auntie must be thoughtful, so let's get here first today."
"I have asked people to arrange rooms for everyone at Yong'an Six-Star Hotel. This is Yong'an Mansion. It is the only six-star hotel in the entire Ming Dynasty. The Kaiping/Funing Hotel can only be regarded as five-star, and the experience is even higher! "
After that, they arranged for people to take Zhu Yuanzhang and the others to the hotel. Ouyang Lun himself naturally went back to the government office. There was a princess and his wife waiting for him at home!
As Ouyang Lun said, the Yong'an Hotel is indeed much more luxurious than the Kaiping Hotel/Funing Hotel where Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stayed. The most intuitive thing is the height of the floors. The Kaiping Hotel/Funing Hotel is already an astonishing nine floors, but The Yong'an Hotel is twelve stories high! !
Not only the height of the building, the overall shape of the Kaiping Hotel/Funing Hotel is a bit like a tower, with a large bottom and a small top. Although nine floors is very high, it is not only built by Yong'an Mansion. There are some famous buildings in various parts of the Ming Dynasty that have reached nine floors. Get high!
Although I was shocked when I first saw it, I didn't think it was too much.
But when they saw Yongan Hotel tonight, they were stunned immediately!
"Sister, why do we feel that there is a mountain blocking the way in front of us?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were blurred and his face was slightly red. He pointed at the Yong'an Hotel in front and muttered.
"Your Majesty," Li Shanchang stammered, "Mr. Ma, you are wrong. There is not a mountain in front of you, but a big square box that glows!"
"A big square box?" Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes and laughed, "Hey, it's really a big box, but this big box is a bit too big."
"Mr. Ma, that is the Kaiping Hotel. It was just renovated not long ago. All the rich people who come to Yong'an Mansion stay there!" Although Li Fuyuan drank a lot and was supported by others, he still tried his best to introduce Zhu Yuanzhang.
Queen Ma looked at the Yong'an Hotel with shock in her eyes. The hotel in front of her was really too tall and too big, and the architectural style was significantly different from the normal Ming Dynasty buildings. It was square, angular, and the appearance was very different. The walls are covered with exquisite "tiles", and the five characters "Yong'an Hotel" are erected on the roof, which is particularly eye-catching!
"How could this be built like this? Will it not collapse?"
Facing Queen Ma's question, Wu Jingzhi said: "Madam, we don't know the details, but it is said that Mr. Ouyang invented a new material that is harder and tougher than iron. This material is used as a building material." The skeleton of the house is then poured with a mixture of cement/small stones, and the finally repaired house will not be broken down for 100 years! It can also be multi-storey!"
"I see, let's go in quickly." Queen Ma nodded, admiring Ouyang Lun's talent from the bottom of her heart.
Entering the hotel, the hall is as spacious as a palace. The floor on the ground can even reflect people's shadows. There is no problem in using it as a mirror.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma lived in a luxurious suite. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a floor-to-ceiling window made of transparent glass, and the scenery outside the window was panoramic.
"Chongba, you lie down for a while, and I'll get you a cup of sobering tea."
Empress Ma originally wanted to go to the front desk to ask for sobering tea, but as soon as she opened the door, a waiter came over with sobering tea and said, "Madam, I am your hotel's exclusive butler. If you need anything, just ring the bell at the door. , I will come over as soon as possible.”
"You must need these two cups of sobering tea."
"Thank you." Queen Ma didn't expect the hotel's service to be so good. It deserves to be a six-star hotel.
When Queen Ma returned to the room with sobering tea, Zhu Yuanzhang was already sitting by the bed. Although he still looked drunk, his eyes became gloomy.
"Heavy eight?"
Queen Ma asked tentatively.
"Sister, what do you think of today's meal?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
"It's very good. Although this is my first time going to a brothel, it gives me a completely different feeling. Ouyang Lun, this kid, can always come up with unique ideas." Queen Ma said while passing the sobering tea in her hand, "I also It’s rare to see you drinking so much.”
"Drink some tea to wake up."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the teacup and said, "Sister, you know I'm not like this usually. I can still control myself even at banquets in the palace. But when I get to heaven and earth, first the environment, then the music, singing, dancing and food, I finally feel relaxed inexplicably."
"This is going to be weird too."
After hearing this, Empress Ma smiled and said, "Listening to what you said, I understand that so many people want to go to heaven and earth. Even you, the emperor, can be attracted, let alone other people."
"Our son-in-law Ouyang Lun is really a capable person. While you were changing cups, I asked the girls in Heaven and Earth. They spoke highly of Heaven and Earth. It can be seen that they have no objection to being in Heaven and Earth. , and even regarded heaven and earth as the best place to belong, and there was a sense of pride in his words."
"Running a brothel to this level is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"I believe you have also discovered this."
Empress Ma paused for a moment, and then continued: "Chongba, Ouyang Lun is Anqing's husband and our son-in-law after all. I know you look down on his cautiousness, but after all, he has done a lot for Ming Dynasty over the years. , don’t get angry at him for nothing.”
"Is he being cautious? He's clearly a coward! He's so cowardly!" Zhu Yuanzhang complained angrily.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
It is true that Ouyang Lun has some ability, but this guy is greedy for a lot of money, does not act according to the rules, and repeatedly challenges his bottom line.
But opening a brothel actually got praise from the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang always felt strange. He wanted to think carefully, but his head felt dizzy again. Finally, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.
the next day.
Zhu Yuanzhang took another long nap.
His whole face was radiant and energetic, and all the fatigue from dealing with government affairs was to the hotel restaurant for breakfast and met Li Shanchang, Li Fuyuan and others.
"Huh? Why didn't you see Magistrate Ouyang?"
Li Shanchang asked curiously.
Li Fuyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Ouyang did not stay here last night, but went back to the government office to stay."
"Why wouldn't he stay in such a good hotel?" Li Shanchang has completely fallen in love with the Yong'an Hotel. This is simply the most comfortable place he has ever lived in. To be honest, he has plans to retire here. , after all, in his opinion, with the wealth he has accumulated, it makes no difference to live here until his death.
"Mr. Li doesn't know something. Mr. Ouyang and Princess Anqing have a very good relationship and will never spend the night outside again." He Fang said with a smile.
"I see, that's it!" Li Shanchang nodded, "By the way, do you know how much it costs to stay in a luxury suite here for one night?"
"It seems to cost 1000 taels, but please rest assured, Your Majesty and Mr. Li, you are guests, food and accommodation are free. If we benefit from you, we can also eat and live for free." Wu Jingzhi explained.
"1000 taels?!" Li Shanchang looked stunned. He had just wanted to stay in the Yong'an Hotel forever, but he never expected that it would cost 1000 taels a night, which is 3 taels a month. The money he had saved was not enough. I stayed in this Yongan Hotel for two or three years.
I can't afford it. I really can't afford it!
Li Fuyuan was the best at observing words and emotions, and instantly understood Li Shanchang's thoughts, so he said: "If Mr. Li wants to live here for a long time, you can discuss it with Mr. Ouyang. Maybe he can give you a discount!"
Li Shanchang nodded, "This is a good idea, then let's wait for him here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to wait for Ouyang Lun, you'll have to wait a long time, because as far as I know, this kid usually sleeps until midnight."
Zhu Yuanzhang has long been used to this. He doesn't even bother to get angry about it. At least Ouyang Lun is staying up late to accompany his daughter.
Your Majesty understands Ouyang Lun very well! !
This is the common thought shared by Li Shanchang, Li Fuyuan and others at this moment.
But asking them to sit here until noon was unacceptable to everyone.
Li Shanchang opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end. He really couldn't figure it out. When he was the prime minister, he got up before dawn every day, dressed neatly, went to the morning court, and waited until late at night before leaving work and returning home. He didn't dare to have any trouble. No slack at all.
As the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture, Ouyang Lun actually slept until noon every day, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not mean to blame him at all.
This had to make Li Shanchang think more.
In fact, the reason why Li Shanchang came to Yong'an Mansion was not only to visit because of its reputation, but also to have a particularly important mission, which was to observe Ouyang Lun.
A few days ago, his student, Hu Weiyong, the prime minister who served as a disciple, came to Li Shanchang's house to "cry", saying that since he became prime minister, he had been alienated by the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Huaixi Party had also begun to be suppressed, and The biggest culprit among them is Ouyang Lun!
Ouyang Lun committed crimes one after another, but in the end there was no punishment. On the contrary, his official position became bigger and bigger!But Hu Weiyong was scolded one after another. If this continues, I'm afraid the Huaixi Party will cease to exist!
Although Li Shanchang has retired, as long as he survives, he will still be a member of the Huaixi Party. He cannot just watch the Huaixi Party collapse, so how can he maintain his political influence.
So Li Shanchang decided to go out in person and meet Ouyang Lun for a while. However, people are not as good as God. He met Zhu Yuanzhang on the way and was asked to come to Yong'an Mansion together. Although this was a bit unfree, it gained a lot. At least it looked like By the time Zhu Yuanzhang was really tolerant of Ouyang Lun.
After breakfast, there was still no news about Ouyang Lun.
Zhu Yuanzhang suggested that they go shopping on the streets by themselves, which was exactly what Li Shanchang wanted, Li , He Fang and the three of them accompanied him well.
In Li Shanchang's impression, Yong'an Mansion is a frontier place with an underdeveloped economy and like banditry occur almost every year. Not only do the people live in dire straits, but they are also extremely miserable.
But as far as he can see now, is there any decay?behind?
The people's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they walked slowly and leisurely. One after another, children shuttled through the streets and alleys, and the sounds of children's songs and nursery rhymes could often be heard.
This isn't torture, it's clearly paradise on earth!
It seems that it took less than two years for Ouyang Lun to become the prefect, and he was able to manage Yong'an Mansion like this. Such ability
Li Shanchang was secretly frightened. He only hated talents like Ouyang Lun. Why didn't he discover earlier that although Hu Weiyong had some abilities, if he was placed in the same environment as Ouyang Lun, he would never be able to do better than Ouyang Lun!
It's a pity to miss it.
Although this is not Zhu Yuanzhang's first visit to Yong'an Mansion, he still can't help but sigh when he sees that there are many more high-rise buildings, brand-new shops, and increasingly prosperous streets in Yong'an Mansion.
The liveliness of Yong'an Mansion now is really unlike anything in Beijing!
If in the past, the center of northern Ming Dynasty was Peiping, then now we have to add Yongan!
Yongan is too rich.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his party stopped and walked, tasting street snacks or drinking tea in street teahouses. It was soon noon, but they had not even finished visiting half of Funing County.
At this moment, a "Hongqi" luxury carriage stopped in front of everyone.
Ouyang Lun opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage with a smile on his face, "Sorry, everyone, I'm late! But you got up so early!"
After hearing the first sentence, everyone's expressions were relatively natural, but after hearing the second sentence, everyone's expressions became weird.
morning?
You are really good at talking. Didn't you see that it's already noon?
Feelings are in your eyes Ouyang Lun, just wake up before noon and wake up early!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face is even full of black lines, he is really lazy!
hopeless!
If it were anyone else, such as Zhu Di, he would have already taken off his boots and started smoking!
But this is Ouyang Lun
That's all, seeing how you run Yong'an Mansion like this, we don't bother to worry about it.
