"Wash and scrub, scrub and scrub, such a day is really free and comfortable~"

"Brother Tiger, hurry up, I'm still in line!"

In the Wangzhuang guard camp, in a small house, there are many old men lined up in several long lines outside, smiling and singing bath songs.

This guard battalion, naturally, is also led by the Nanyang Palace, one of the projects undertaken by Nanyang First Construction, and the speed is still very fast under the trend of money and treatment.

In addition to the normal barracks in the guard camp, Zhu Youhua also deliberately asked them to add public baths and public toilets, and even recruited a few people to be responsible for guarding and maintaining public health in the facility day and night.

In this era, the plague is rampant, and Zhu Youhua also knows this thing, this body is not like later generations, and he has been vaccinated countless times since birth.

The plague is like SARS, which can be contagious, if one person gets it, the entire military camp is estimated to die, so it is better to pay attention to hygiene in advance and prevent it from happening.

These two things are available in the Ming Dynasty, but they are not very common, and there is no bath or anything in the bathhouse on the ground floor, but it belongs to one of the characteristic social welfare of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the imperial court sent special personnel to maintain it, but now even the officials can't pay it, let alone the wages of these social service workers.

Without money, there were no maintenance personnel, and the public toilets and bathhouses that had been good became foul-smelling places, and no one visited them anymore.

At present, the bathhouses that are still opened in the local area are maintained by the merchants themselves, and special personnel are recruited to clean them, but they are generally only open to large households.

Many poor people can't even afford to eat, so what are they talking about bathing?

In the era of the late Ming Dynasty, many things were not absent, but they became no longer common for various reasons.

But then again, even in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when it was relatively wealthy, it was the first time that someone like Zhu Youhua had a separate bathhouse and public toilet in the barracks.

When will the treatment of the big-headed soldiers be so good?

Where have the soldiers experienced this kind of public toilet and large bathhouse maintained by special personnel, at first they were a little resistant, but now after a few days, they are uncomfortable without taking a shower.

Both of these require a lot of water and money to maintain.

Zhu Youhua really didn't expect these rough old men to be so able to use water at first, and when the person in charge of maintenance reported it, he also had a little headache.

In those days, there were no running water pipes and water heaters, and now the weather is hot and fine, but if it gets cold in winter, rinsing your body with cool water is simply a sin.

So Zhu Youhua called Xu Shouhui, the chief craftsman, and planned to build a few waterwheels around Nanyang City to maintain a sufficient supply of water first.

I don't know if I don't ask, I was startled when I asked, it turned out that Jiangnan Pu started to take a shower early in the morning.

Heating and water sources are not a difficult matter, the craftsmanship of Huaxia craftsmen is amazing, and the architecture is even more extensive and profound, such as the baths that are more common in the Jiangnan area now, which perfectly solves the two problems that Zhu Youhua is worried about.

Xu Shouhui still has something, and he actually knows a little about the bathhouse.

Like now, the big-headed soldiers in the military camp wash and wash with their hands, so there is no need to make it so fine, and a cistern and a heating pool should be built next to it.

The only thing that is a little technical is the small gap where the heating pool is responsible for heating, which needs to be made of tough stone, and nothing else.

But this is not in a hurry, after all, it is not autumn yet, the weather is hot and dry, and it is useless to build a heating pool.

"Well, Lao Xu bothered a lot about the bathhouse and the waterwheel." Zhu Youhua didn't understand these very well, and he didn't understand anything about it, so he just solemnly explained.

Xu Shouhui nodded and said, "Don't worry, the villain understands." ”

Zhu Youhua nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Old Xu, how many bathhouses are there in Nanyang City now, all the big and small are counted." ”

Xu Shouhui thought for a while, "The big one is the Yude Spring next to the Tang Palace, which is a natural hot spring pool, and the owner is said to have something to do with the housekeeper of the Tang Palace, and almost all of the people who go to it are the royal family and the big families in the city." ”

"There used to be a lot of others, but recently there are more and more displaced people, and there are fewer people who really have spare money to bathe, so they are slowly closed, and only a dozen or so are still struggling to make ends meet."

"Okay, Liu Yuqi, you take someone to Yudequan and take that piece for the king." Zhu Youhua said.

This relationship may be a trump card for ordinary people, but in this king's case, there is no use for fart.

Liu Yuqi nodded and asked, "How much silver?" ”

"This king helped him run Yude Spring, that is to look up to him, and use the silver?" Zhu Youhua raised his head and glanced at Liu Yuqi.

The latter was full of excitement and hurriedly said: "What the prince said is that he is confused." ”

Zhu Youhua was still thinking about other things, but saw Liu Yuqi go out a few steps and ran back in a hurry, "Wang, Wang, go and see, Gao Guiying is in the barracks." ”

"Someone found it?" Zhu Youhua was also surprised, and saw that there was nothing at hand, so he rushed over.

In the barracks, it was originally the time for dinner, and all the soldiers practiced for a long time, looking forward to this mouthful of food, but at this time, they all forgot to gather in a circle, and kept applauding.

"A woman, such a good marksman!"

"Gao Guiying?"

Zhu Youhua and the others were very surprised, walked over quickly, and saw that it was Gao Guiying who was competing with the officers selected from the barracks, and there were already three lying on the ground.

Gao Guiying was holding a red-tasseled spear in her hand, her hair was scattered, and her face was covered with fine sweat, but the corners of her mouth gently outlined a smile, and she reached out and pulled up the fallen officers one by one.

Those officers were carefully selected, all of them were honest men, and although they were defeated at the hands of a woman, although they were underestimated and did not dare to die, they were all willing to gamble and lose.

"The girl is superb in martial arts, I took it."

"The first time I saw such a capable girl, my Lei Dahu can be regarded as an eye-opener, the king of Nanyang is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"

"Lei Dahu, you can't beat her?" Liu Yuchi was taken aback, and walked over to look at Lei Dahu, who was covered in dust.

The latter grinned, "There is one thing to say, I Lei Dahu doesn't like to lie, although this girl doesn't have much strength, but that ingenuity is very spiritual." ”

Lei Dahu's ability Liu Yuqi has seen it, if it weren't for the recklessness of this guy, even he wouldn't be sure that he would be able to win.

Liu Yuqi looked Gao Guiying up and down, and still felt a little puzzled, how did this Gao Guiying's thin body take a strong man like Lei Dahu down?

It seems that I have to compete with her another day, of course, I still forget it today, everyone is watching, in case I lose, this is not good.

"What to see, what's there to see?" Liu Yuchi walked over, "I don't want to stay well in the afternoon, right, okay, I'll practice you myself!" ”

Only then did everyone realize that it was Zhu Youhua who came, and they all put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and knelt on the ground together.

"I've seen the King of Nanyang!"

Zhu Youhua smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Everyone has worked hard, sweat more on weekdays, and only then can there be less bloodshed in wartime." ”

Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and they all nodded their heads, and they all laughed heartily when they talked about the situation of Gao Guiying's defeat of three people in a row.

Zhu Youhua didn't do much, after all, these batches are all recruits, and the officers only choose those who have some foundation, unlike Gao Guiying, who has killed a lot of people.

When they go to the battlefield once, those who survive will be reborn.

Gao Guiying also knelt in the middle, with the straight gun in her hand still standing, and beside her, there were several women in the same strong suits, who also knelt in a circle.

"How many days have you been out for this?" Zhu Youhua looked at the women who were eating in the camp, and their appearance was a little miserable.

Gao Guiying nodded and said, "They are all poor people who were caught by the royal family and brought to the mansion, please ask the prince to punish them." ”

Zhu Youhua didn't speak, like those women rescued by Gao Guiying.

These women, all in rags, pitiful and miserable, and some with dull expressions, seem to have suffered a lot of inhuman torture and abuse.

Seeing that they were miserable, the men in the army also shared some food, and at this time, these women were holding bowls, and their expressions were still a little panicked, and they were afraid that Zhu Youhua would drive them away.
