A lot of things happened during this time, but Zhu Youhua was still at ease in Nanyang.

Because the special service provided by Zhu Youhua is different from that of the literati who went to the Qinglou in the past, a new term has appeared, called foot washing.

Yude Spring is the largest foot-washing city in Nanyang City under the golden signboard of Nanyang Palace.

In addition to Yude Spring, there are eight foot washing cities in Nanyang that operate special services in the name of bathing bodies, all of which have been renovated before they are made public.

Zhu Youhua's foot-washing city, in the ordinary people's bath, is even lower than the original price, but when it comes to the "special service", it has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The women who are called out at different prices are also different, and the top attempt is an astronomical amount.

Some people say that the bath body is too cheap and the "special service" is too expensive, but Zhu Youhua never cares about it.

Now where do the people have the money to bathe their bodies, and the little money collected for the people to bathe is not for profit at all, it is to distinguish it from free!

As for special services, ordinary people who even have problems with food and clothing will not engage in this thing, and the things specially set up for the children of large families are naturally as high as possible.

The higher the price you ask, the more they feel that this is a high-end service, and the children of large families have a bit of a comparison atmosphere, your Wang family can afford it, why can't my Li family?

The money earned once from a large family is not even comparable to the bathing of a hundred people every day and night for a month, which is the big head.

Earning the people's money is not much ability, let the big family willingly pay you money, hate you so much that you have to come, this is called ability!

Unfortunately, for big households, Zhu Youhua is such a person now.

Therefore, the big families in the background gave Zhu Youhua a nickname, called the prince of foot washing, because this girl monopolized the bathing business of the entire Nanyang, and there was only one foot washing business, and there was no other branch.

It's okay for ordinary people not to take a bath for a month or even half a year, but they can't, they are people with status, and they have to take a bath every few days.

Every other day, I came to the interest, called a special service, pinched my feet, and then accompanied by singing, eating, sleeping and dancing, anyway, the service you can think of, the foot-washing city of Nanyang Wangfu is all there.

In a word, you should scold, you should go!

In more than two months, the profits of the Foot Washing City are very amazing, and 99.99% of them are naturally provided by large households.

Active giving and passive giving, in fact, are the same, Zhu Youhua is eyeing the richest group in the Ming Dynasty today, the children of big families and relatives.

This income gave Zhu Youhua the confidence to continue.

Because although the principal given by the Fuwang Mansion is large, when it is always used up, it is always impossible to sit and eat empty.

But although the income of Foot Washing City is large, Zhu Youhua still has to run Nanyang into his own place, and he will expand his armaments in the future.

In this way, this income is far from enough in the long run...

During this time, the development of the bird gun has also made some improvements, as far as the arquebus gun is concerned, the Nanyang palace has been able to achieve complete self-sufficiency without relying on the guard.

The only problem is that compared to the West at this time, the arquebus is still too backward, and there is a lack of experts who can upgrade firearms and equipment.

The officers and men of the Nanyang Battalion, before they set off for Zhenping, had already armed themselves with a bird gun, and the sufficient ordnance and equipment made them all full of confidence.

At this time, outside Nanyang City, there were Wang Zhuang under the name of the palace everywhere.

These Wangzhuang are inhabited by the relatives of the Nanyang camp and the labor camp, as well as the displaced people and ordinary people taken in by Zhu Youhua, and what they do every day is to open up the wasteland and cultivate.

Many of the displaced people and ordinary people are poor and white, and Zhu Youhua also has a countermeasure, that is, borrowing!

What the people lack, we can borrow from the Nanyang Palace, seeds, farming tools, fields, and even ploughing cattle.

And in order to let the people be self-sufficient as soon as possible and leave surplus grain, Zhu Youhua also separately stipulated that all land in Wangzhuang will be exempt from taxes and taxes for three years!

This one went out, but it made the people very excited.

Three years of tax reduction, that is to say, within three years all the defenders in the fields are their own family income.

In the past three years, the things in my hand are enough for myself and my family to start a new life again, this is a great benevolent government, and the court will not have it!

For these, the official office is not unaware, but Zhu Youhua's Wangzhuang is actually the same as the prince's royal village, and all the income is attributed to the Nanyang Palace, that is, the private property of the vassal king after being approved by the Changshi Division.

And Changshi Si has long been tied to the Nanyang Palace, and Fei Deng is understanding a truth called the cold of lips and teeth, and has become Zhu Youhua's big housekeeper.

This means that no matter how Zhu Youhua tosses in Wangzhuang, it is his own business, and even if he goes in, even if he is a heinous criminal, he will have to wait until he escapes out of your government before he can be arrested.

In the territory of Wangzhuang, it is Nanyang Wang Zhu Youhua who has the final say!

This is the ancestral system left by Taizu and Grandpa Cheng, and Emperor Chongzhen will not change it today, let alone the local government.

It's so domineering, once the royal family becomes strong, they don't give you room for local officials to theorize at all.

If you borrow it, you still have to pay it back!

Within three years, it was the Nanyang Royal Mansion that was losing money, but after three years, after the first batch of people really reached self-sufficiency, they would start to repay their debts!

Year after year, Zhu Youhua has to repay his debts, generation after generation, and he will be tied to the land of Wangzhuang, and it is difficult to move an inch!

This is just like the Huabei of Ma Yun's children's shoes in later generations, there are a large number of people who owe money and repay money every month, and he sits and comes to pay.

This is still a short-term plan, but what about many years from now? Who knows!

Zhu Youhua didn't know if he could survive until that time, there must be a way before the car arrived at the mountain in the future, and when it was time to solve it, he had to come up with a solution.

Each Wangzhuang is like an independent small system, in addition to a large number of people who are begging for life in the interior, there are also Zhuang Ding who belong to the Nanyang Palace, responsible for the security of Wangzhuang.

Most of these villagers are stationed in small camps in Wangzhuang, and there are simple drill equipment such as straw men and shooting ranges in the open space of the camp.

Zhuang Ding, the police station in Wangzhuangli, has to deal with all kinds of major affairs and quarrels between the people every day.

Needless to say, the blacksmiths naturally lived in the labor camp in Nanyang City.

The labor camp was renovated from the Auxiliary General's Palace, and it occupies a large area, with only a small part of the occupied area, and more places are accompanied by the sound of beating.

In addition to the area where iron was smelted to make ordnance, a large open space was set aside in the labor camp for testing the newly made bird guns and weapons.

Just when Nanyang was busy day after day, the camp had already received the news that Yuan Shizhong had killed Shao Shixin.

Li Zicheng was furious, but because Sun Chuanting had already left the customs by the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen, the battle between the camp and the official army in Shaanxi was inevitable, so he could only let Tian Jianxiu, who stayed behind, go by himself.

In fact, as early as when discussing the division of troops, Song Xiance and others considered this situation, and Li Zicheng left Tian Jianxiu with an army of 40,000 before leaving, which was twice as much as Xiao Yuan's battalion.

According to them, such a number is not more than enough to take a small Yuan camp.

Tian Jianxiu received an order from Li Zicheng to the east, and with 40,000 horses, he rode down the river in Lantian by boat.

However, he did not go directly to the inner countryside city, but stopped at the mouth of the West Gorge, which was six miles away from the inner countryside.

After landing at the mouth of the West Gorge, Tian Jianxiu died down, planning to take Yuan Shizhong by surprise and directly take Yuan Shizhong to save his position in the camp.
