Liu Tan didn't dare to respond to this. It happened that they arrived at the post house at this time. He hurriedly got off the car and prepared to help Liu Che down, but was pushed aside by Liu Che in disgust.
Then Liu Tan discovered that Liu Che got off the car more efficiently than he did, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Standing at the door of the inn, Liu Che was a little surprised. He had never seen such an inn before - the gate and the wall next to the gate were made of glass.
Standing outside, you can see that the interior of the inn lobby is brightly lit. There is not only a counter, but also a temporary resting place.
The only thing that surprised him was that the temporary resting place did not look like a scale, but rather looked a bit like the ice sled that Liu Tan had prepared for him before.
Yes, in order to change people's habits nowadays, Liu Tan simply put sofas in the lobby of the inn, as well as tea, dried fruits and other things.
Many people have never seen such a lobby, so even if there are other post houses in the city, most people will subconsciously come in to take a look when passing by this post house.
Just look at the environment - even one room has glass windows, the windows are clean and bright, the light is bright, and the bedding smells like sunshine. The house is also very clean.
Anyone who has money will generally choose to stay here. Those who really have no money will have to leave with regret, and at the same time make up their minds to make good money so that they can come to this inn to enjoy themselves in the future.
Liu Che stood at the door and observed for a while before looking up at the plaque above. He originally didn't have much hope for Liu Tan's naming ability, but even so, when he saw the four huge words on it: There is an inn, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Don’t say it, the more this is the case, the more impressive it is.
He walked into the inn, and after entering, he found that even the innkeeper and the servants were dressed similarly, from color to style. The only difference was that the innkeeper had more dark patterns and accessories on his body.
After entering, Wei Deng went over to stop him without waiting for the servant to come over, and at the same time showed the black iron plate.
As soon as the servant saw him, he immediately led him respectfully to meet the shopkeeper.
Wei Deng whispered to the shopkeeper, whose expression suddenly changed. He quickly winked at the servant and said, "Lead the way to Tianhe Garden."
As soon as the servant heard the name, he knew that this was an important person, and hurriedly led the way.
Tianhe Garden is the largest courtyard inside the post station. Although it is not as good as the palace, it is also good. The largest room inside is basically comparable to Liu Che’s bedroom.
Well, it can’t be compared with Liu Che’s palace, it can only be compared with the bedroom.
Fortunately, Liu Che was not that demanding. After moving in, he was very leisurely and wandered around the courtyard. This courtyard was not as good as the Changshou Palace, but the design was also pretty good, especially the small lotus pond in the middle with a very short glass plank road.
Liu Che took two steps forward out of curiosity. It really was just two steps and it was over. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Liu Tan: "So short?"
Liu Tan said, "This is what my son built for fun. It's too long to be under warranty, and it's also dangerous. I heard that these glass panels have been replaced more than a dozen times."
It was also because of this that Liu Tan did not dare to build a glass plank road for Liu Che to play on.
Liu Che, who was originally standing there feeling very curious, walked down silently after listening to Liu Tan's words.
After walking around and feeling tired, Liu Che returned to his room and found a piece of paper behind the door with the names of various dishes written on it.
Liu Che asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Liu Tan came over and took a look and said with a smile: "This is the takeout menu."
Liu Che repeated, "Takeout menu?"
Liu Tan said, "Many people feel tired after their first day of travel, so if you don't want to eat out, you can order from the menu above. It will just cost extra for packaging and delivery."
However, people who can live in this inn are generally not short of money. They can eat delicious meals without having to run errands, and they are not afraid to spend a few dollars.
Liu Che glanced at the menu and found the dishes on it quite interesting. Liu Tan said directly, "Father, don't look at this. There is a small kitchen in this yard. We can have someone cook whatever you want. Tongda City should have a rich variety of ingredients."
After a long day of traveling, although Liu Che was very curious about Tongda City, he could not resist the erosion of time. He could only rest early to recuperate and wait to go out and see it tomorrow.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone went out and found that it was already very lively outside.
It was only then that Liu Che realized that there were particularly many people on this street. Even if it wasn't shoulder to shoulder, it was not much better.
Liu Tan and Lu Xuan followed Liu Che closely. Since this post station was the first one they came to after entering the city, they simply walked inside.
The shops on both sides sell all kinds of things, some sell food, and some sell various specialties.
Not long after Liu Che left, he discovered that he had seen specialties from Yan, Zhao, Qi and even Chang'an.
At first, Liu Che thought these people were just making a gimmick, but after he visited two stores, he found that they were actually real specialties.
There are also restaurants or snack stalls where you can take a look and try some authentic food.
Liu Che looked at Liu Tan in surprise and asked, "How did you do this?"
He knew that this street belonged to Liu Tan, so no matter what happened, he wouldn't find it particularly strange.
Liu Tan's ability to make money is really unmatched by ordinary people, but the fact that he created so many local characteristics also shocked Liu Che.
Liu Tan laughed and said, "After all, this is a gateway city. People from all over the country come here, so I ordered people to make it more comprehensive and open the eyes of those who haven't been there. Maybe it will boost tourism. But for now, it seems that this is the only place that can be visited. Only the more prosperous vassal states or cities can have a place."
He was actually not very satisfied, but the street was only this long, and it was not easy to achieve this.
Liu Che calculated his son's workload after the New Year, from plowing in the northern border to handling the things for welcoming the emperor, and then to Tongda City. It is said that there are many new and interesting things in the customs market. With this calculation... does his son still have time to rest?
But it must be said that Tongda City was indeed made prosperous by him.
Liu Che recalled the previous information about Dunhuang County. He remembered that Dunhuang County had always been a lower-class county, and even among the lower-class counties, it had always been the last one. Now with Tongda City, maybe it could turn things around.
Tongda City was bustling during the day, and it was no less lively at night. What surprised Liu Che was that there was no curfew in the entire city of Tongda!
He looked at the crowds that continued to flow into the night and couldn't help but say, "Although it's lively, you're a little too bold."
Liu Tan smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll impose a curfew. The main reason is that this city originally had a different positioning. As a commercial city, I want to turn it into a den of wealth. As long as you want it, you can find anything you want here."
Liu Che pinched the back of his neck and said, "You are quite ambitious."
Liu Tan said confidently, "Since we have the best time and location, we must work hard to make money! Right now, money is needed everywhere in the Northern Territory!"
Liu Che patted Liu Tan's shoulder and understood his son's feelings very well. He was also short of money, otherwise he would not have made peace with the Wusun marriage. Wasn't it because he was no longer suitable for fighting that he needed to win over those people?
Thinking of the marriage alliance, he thought of Princess Danyang. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Xuan who had been quietly following beside him.
Even before he gave up his daughter, he was unable to make the Wusun more inclined towards the Han Dynasty. If his son had not instigated his daughter to seize power in advance, giving up this daughter might not have had any effect.
But his son... brought back the King of Wusun, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But no matter what, the current popularity of Tongda City seems to reflect the popularity of Guanshi, so after Liu Che finished touring Tongda City, he suddenly said: "Let's go to Guanshi to take a look."
Liu Tan was caught off guard when he heard this, and his whole body tensed up: "Why did Dad suddenly want to go to Guan City?"
Liu Che said, "I heard you also opened a shop in Guanshi, which is also very unique. Why not go and take a look?"
Liu Tan advised earnestly, "It's not open yet, so they might not be ready. Besides, it's outside the Great Wall, so it's too dangerous. You should..."
Liu Che sneered, "Why are you so worried? How many people outside the Great Wall know me?"
Liu Tan whispered, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Liu Che glanced at the black-clad guards behind him and said, "Send over some more elite troops. Hey, how come your elite troops only had a thousand men last year and the same number this year?"
Liu Tan looked at him and said, "Father, Emperor, the elite regiment is my guard."
In fact, most of the princes' guards only had 500 people. The 1,000 people he had were specially approved by Liu Che, after all, they were on the border.
Liu Che thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you want to make some reforms before? Write a document and send it to me later."
Liu Tan stared at his back in deep thought for a while. Seeing that he didn't move, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Liu Tan turned to look at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression: "When did I ever say I wanted to change the system?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing and whispered in Liu Tan's ear, "Your Majesty thinks you need to change your system."
Liu Tan: ...
Okay, so this means that he should find his own excuse to increase the number of guards?
He chased after him somewhat helplessly and found that he was often stopped from doing things he was determined to do, while ordinary people could not stop Liu Che from doing things he was determined to do.
Liu Tan was puzzled by this. What had gone wrong? Was it their approach to governance that was wrong?
It is not known whether their approach to governing is correct, but Liu Tan feels that there must be something wrong with their approach to leaving the country.
Because he had just come out of the customs and had not yet reached his own shop, he saw a group of people from afar. When he got closer, Liu Tan saw that the man leading the group on horseback looked a little uneasy.
He stepped forward, stood beside Liu Che, and said, "Father, it's Wu Shilu."
Liu Che: ...
He couldn't help but turn around and look at Liu Tan, wondering if Liu Tan had something special on him. As soon as he came out, Wu Shilu was summoned.
