Li Shimin's sudden arrival was completely unexpected by Li Lizhi.
You know, in the past, my father rarely came to my place.
Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi and said, "You just said that the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as an inn?"
"Father, that's not what I meant."
Li Lizhi hurriedly explained, but couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "And that's not an inn, it's a hotel."
"hotel?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
Wang De on the side quickly explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the princess is talking about the Home Inn chain hotel that just opened recently."
"What a weird name. Who is the boss of Rujia? I'm afraid he doesn't have much culture." Li Shimin said lightly.
In his opinion, this person must be a sensationalist who only knows how to do such eye-catching things.
Hearing this, Wang De's face became a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the boss of Homeinn is Mr. Muchuanmu, the new top scholar."
As soon as these words came out, even Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.
"What a shame! This Muchuan has done everything he can to lower his status."
Li Shimin said displeased: "If the world knew about it, they would think that I, the number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty, could only make a living by doing business!"
Wang De couldn't figure out Li Shimin's thoughts for a while, so he could only try to suggest: "Then the old slave will send someone to order this Home Inn chain hotel to close?"
"That's not necessary."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Lizhi angrily and said: "Wang De, go get ready, I want to leave the palace."
"Ah? Where do you plan to go, Your Majesty?"
"I want to see what is so good about this Home Inn chain hotel that my daughter will never forget it."
Li Lizhi's face turned red immediately, "Father, how can I never forget my love? It's just that Ru's room is really nice. You'll know after you go and see it."
"Okay, if it's not as good as you said, I'll close it on the spot."
Li Shimin was also very angry. This was the first time that his daughter continuously contradicted him.
You know, there is nothing in the world but the royal land. How can there be a better place in this world than the royal palace?
As a result, Li Shimin took Wang De and Li Lizhi to Chang'anfang City for a private visit incognito.
Even though Li Shimin didn't want to reveal his identity, he could still easily get two of Home Inn's highest-level room cards using Wang De's methods.
"Is this the guest room key?"
Li Shimin looked at the room card he had just received, just as confused as Li Lizhi when they first met him.
"Dad, this is called a room card. It's very magical. You'll know when the time comes." Li Lizhi snickered from the side.
"I want to see how this piece of iron can be used as a key." Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door of Home Inn.
After entering the hotel, Li Shimin's eyes were also attracted by the novel and unique decoration here.
He certainly knew about the existence of colored glaze, as some places in the palace had previously been replaced with colored glaze as windows.
However, this was the first time that Li Shimin learned about the real application of colored glaze.
Whether it was the beautiful crystal ball or the glazed roof of different colors, they all greatly refreshed Li Shimin's understanding of the hotel.
"Hmph, the appearance is indeed more attractive than an inn."
Although Li Shimin was slightly positive about Home Inn, he still felt a little disdainful.
It's beautiful, but if you want to compare it with the palace, the gap is definitely not small.
"Your Majesty, be careful, there is a hole here."
When walking up the stairs, Wang De reminded him quickly.
Li Shimin also noticed the extremely conspicuous hole.
"This Muchuan has cut corners to such an extent."
Li Shimin's face also became ugly.
If everyone followed this trend, the Tang Dynasty would be over sooner or later.
"Dad, this is not cutting corners. It was specially designed by Muchuan. I think it will have some wonderful uses."
Seeing that Li Shimin seemed a little unhappy, Li Lizhi quickly explained to Muchuan.
Even she herself doesn't know what the hole is used for.
"Forget it, when Muchuan comes back, I will listen to his explanation."
After arriving on the fifth floor, everyone followed the room card number to find the corresponding room.
Looking at the door in front of him, which was made entirely of fine iron, Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head, with some satisfaction on his face.
"The door is actually made of iron. It seems that Muchuan really doesn't know how to run an inn business."
The reason why there were very few iron doors in ancient times was, firstly, because of the high cost, and secondly, because iron doors rusted easily and were inconvenient to open.
"Dad, why don't you open the door and try it first?"
Li Lizhi encouraged from the side.
Li Shimin was happy to give it a try, grabbed the handle, and planned to push it away.
However, this push did not move an inch.
This result naturally surprised Li Shimin.
You know, there is obviously no padlock on this iron door.
"Is there anyone living here?" Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Wang De, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Wang De was also startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I'm going to call the guy for questioning right now."
"Mr. Wang, please wait."
Li Lizhi said: "Dad, don't worry first. The room card in your hand is not a decoration. Take a closer look. Is there a notch under the handle?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin also took a closer look, and sure enough he found a small socket under the handle. If you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to miss it.
"What does this mean?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.
"Dad, please insert the key card and try."
Li Shimin inserted the room card with a suspicious look on his face.
When it was halfway inserted, there was a slight resistance, which was no problem for Li Shimin. He pushed it in completely with a little force.
When the room card was completely inserted, a mechanical vibration sound sounded, which shocked Li Shimin.
Could it be a mechanism technique?
This thought made Li Shimin unable to calm down all of a sudden.
You must know that since the Central Plains was ravaged by the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, many ancient technologies have been lost, including the most magical mechanism skills.
"Dad, please pull the door handle down now."
Li Shimin didn't say anything, he just followed Li Lizhi's words.
With this pull, Li Shimin discovered that the door handle could actually move. After pulling down, the door opened directly, and there was no feeling of obstruction during the opening process.
"this"
Li Shimin's face was full of surprise, and his evaluation of Muchuan instantly rose a lot.
This Muchuan was not only well-read in poetry and books, but also had a genius in business. Unexpectedly, he also knew how to make a machine.
Under the extremely high evaluation, Li Shimin increasingly felt that Muchuan was uncontrollable.
"Dad, isn't this magical?"
Seeing that her unsmiling father had such an expression today, Li Lizhi couldn't help but show off.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Lizhi, but Li Lizhi was slightly stunned for a moment.
Why did dad's eyes look so strange just now?
However, Li Lizhi didn't think much about it and just thought that Li Shimin had not recovered from the shock.
