Chapter 127: To Build a City (Four Watches)

Among the many dynasties, the worst standard of living may be controversial, but when it comes to enjoyment, the Song people are absolutely second to none. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn general, public bathhouses are everywhere in the city.

And there is also a special bath barrel, which can only accommodate one person to lie down, one guest and one change of water, which is more than the pool of later generations. Those who are a little more particular will also use pancreas and soap beans to remove dirt from their bodies. As for the officials of the imperial court, there are also special facial medicines and lipsticks, as the name suggests, to prevent the face and lips from drying out.

When Wang Ningan was in the city, as long as he had free time, he went to the bathhouse to soak.

The enjoyment spirit of the Song people is only a capital cost!

The same is true of the Six Arts School, which has built ten houses of special bathrooms on the hillside, all of which are made of stone, and bring in spring water from the mountains, and when the weather is cold, some people boil hot water, and in the summer, they use the spring water directly.

Bathe at least once every five days.

If a student is sloppy and doesn't take a shower, they are sent to clean the toilet and experience the smelly smell.

Such a terrible punishment, which student dares not to care.

An order,All rushed to the bathroom,In order to grab a good position,Someone hasn't entered the door yet.,Stripped naked while running.,Fortunately, there are no female students.,Otherwise you would have been scolded for being a stinky hooligan.。

Da Su took off the fastest, like a wild dog, grabbed two good positions in one go, and the slow Su Zhe rushed over, Su Shi had already pulled out the cork on the bamboo pipe, and the cool spring water was poured on his head instantly, and he couldn't help but beat a spirit.

The student bathroom is not given to the pool, one is quick and easy to wash while standing, the child has not yet been lying down to enjoy, and the second is that there are too many people, running water to clean, clean and hygienic, will not transmit diseases.

No, the body was wet, picked up the soap sent by Wang Ning'an, smeared a layer on the body, and then rinsed with water, the dirt and sweat were all washed away with the spring water. The skin is delicate and clean, and there is a light fragrance.

"It's a good thing, it's better than pancreas!" Zeng Bu praised loudly, and Su Shi also laughed and echoed, "It must be a new thing made by Mr. Wang, Mr. is amazing, I am a five-body caster!" ”

Hearing people praising Wang Ningan, Han Zongwu was angry.

This debate is not over yet!

Wang Ning'an can get some strange things, and he doesn't dare to talk about scriptures and righteousness at all, but there are such a bunch of fools who can't see through Wang Ning'an's true face, which is really hateful!

Han Zongwu washed up in a hurry, and wanted to go to Su Shi to continue the debate just now.

At this moment, a head poked out of the window next to the bathroom and looked inside. Wang Ningze, who was inside, nodded hurriedly and stretched out his small fist.

"Walk you!"

Wang Ning'an shook his hand slightly, and a piece of soap crossed the graceful parabola, and then moved forward quickly along the smooth ground. Wang Ningze shouted at the top of his voice, and all the strength of his body was used.

"Whose soap is off!"

"Pick up the soap!"

As soon as his voice came out, everyone else was stunned, but Han Zongwu, he didn't like Wang Ning'an, hated the house and Wu, and even threw away the soap he sent, Wang Ningze shouted, he subconsciously thought that his soap had fallen, and hurriedly turned around and bowed his head, coincidentally, the soap thrown by Wang Ningan reached his feet, and Han Zongwu stepped on it.

Needless to say, the next thing is that Han Dagongzi was carried out by two students, his face was broken, his nose was bleeding, and his arms and legs were injured, which was extremely miserable.

But there was another one that added fuel to the fire, Su Shi grabbed two pieces of soap and ran out and stuffed them into Han Zongwu's hands.

"Senior Brother Han, we can be regarded as friends who pick up soap, you can't blame me for the offense just now, did you hear it!"

Han Zongwu turned his head and didn't bother to pay attention to him, Wang Ningan almost burst out laughing when he heard it.

Pick up the friendship of soap!

You Su Shi can say it!

Not to mention, Da Su later wrote this paragraph into the article, and it became an allusion, specifically describing the youthful friendship between classmates and brothers, which is extremely pure......

After the students used it, they applauded, and Wang Ningan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a liberal arts man in his last life, and his knowledge of physics and chemistry had long been forgotten, but later he coded words, and he had to look at some useful ones, and the saponification reaction was more important in his limited knowledge of chemistry.

Countless predecessors have done it, and there is no need to talk nonsense, it is almost like pouring baking soda into lime slurry, and then pouring the clear liquid on it, that is, sodium hydroxide, into a hot oil pan, stirring evenly, and waiting for the soap to be produced.

What a simple thing.

Wang Ningan spent a month of hard work to figure it out, during which the back of his hand was splashed with sodium hydroxide solution, fortunately there was only one drop, otherwise his hands would have been wasted.

Since then, Wang Ningan has been completely self-aware, and physics and chemistry are really not for liberal arts students.

After being able to produce soap, another important commodity, that is, candles, Wang Ningan simply did not do it himself, he found two craftsmen who knew how to make candles from among the refugees, and asked them to do it.

The candles commonly used in the Great Song Dynasty include butter, mutton fat, and high-grade vegetable oil, such as cypress oil, castor oil and so on.

However, none of these things are comparable to the same, that is, whale brain oil.

The legendary candlelight dinner is not just a few candles, the candlelight dinner needs to use whale wax, that is, from the sperm whale head, the fat extracted, after coagulation and pressing, made of candles, according to legend, whale wax can increase the fun, so that between boyfriend and girlfriend, the atmosphere is stronger and more enthusiastic...... All in all, you get the idea!

It is also a coincidence that Wang Liangjin caught a sperm whale, Wang Ningan had already ordered to refine the whale oil inside, at room temperature, whale oil is solid, so it is very simple to make candles.

Find a bamboo tube, drill a small hole, and put the cotton thread in, then split the bamboo tube, put the cotton thread in place, and then pour the hot whale oil into it with a funnel, wait for it to cool, open the bamboo tube, and a candle will come out.

Candles similar to those of later generations first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, when only princes and nobles could afford to use them, and in the Song Dynasty, candles have quietly entered the homes of the people.

A candle is about 150 Wen to 400 Wen, which is almost equivalent to the income of a worker for three or four days, and ordinary people are generally reluctant to use candles unless they have something important, but they are a little rich, and there are so many clan courtiers and wealthy businessmen, they are not distressed at all when they use candles.

Making things is not Wang Ningan's forte, but he is good at doing business.

Soap and whale wax were placed in front of Cao Tong.

Uncle Cao Guo rubbed his hands, and his eyes were full of greedy light.

Wang Ning'an, this kid's ability to turn stones into gold, he can be regarded as a teacher, and the opportunity to make a fortune sent to the door must not be missed.

"This time my family only needs three, uh no, two percent, two successes, how many will be handed over to us."

Wang Ningan smiled, "Uncle Guo, how can I take advantage of you." ”

"It doesn't matter, who is with whom!" Cao Tong hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back, and said without any image: "My little God of Wealth, as far as the friendship between the two of us, even if it is the twelve hairpins of the Moon Palace, I will give it to you." ”

"The Twelve Hairpins of the Moon Palace? What's that? Wang Ningan said curiously.

Cao Tong smiled, leaned in front and whispered: "That's our family's twelve singers, don't hide it, I started teaching them to read since I was eight or nine years old, and after I was a teenager, I learned musical instruments, the biggest nineteen at the moment, the youngest is only sixteen, playing and singing, playing and flute, all of them are fine, all of them can't." If you want to talk about poetry and papers, they understand, you want to sing and drink, and they can accompany you...... I can tell you, someone made a hundred thousand dollars and wanted to ask for one, and I didn't even nod my head at home. Come to our brother, as long as you open your mouth, all twelve will be delivered! How's that, it's interesting! ”

Uncle Guo slapped his chest loudly.

Wang Ning'an had a bad chill, twelve, you want to destroy minors?

Not to mention that after receiving this gift, he will be eaten to death by the Cao family in the future, and just twelve goblins can squeeze himself dry. I'm only fourteen now, don't get sick in your twenties, and die young.

"Uncle Guo, can't you be a little noble!"

Wang Ningan was furious and directly told Cao Tong that it was still divided into five or five points, but the Wang family's share still had to be converted into food, and the Cao family was responsible for all the consumption on the road......

After finishing speaking, Wang Ningan blasted Cao Tong out of his study.

Sitting back in the chair, Wang Ning'an closed his eyes and recuperated, and suddenly there was a figure, tall and well-proportioned, full of strength and beauty, it was Yang Huaiyu's sister Yang Xi, but she mentioned marriage, but she always felt awkward...... Wang Ningan shook his head again, the figure finally changed, this time it was a gentle and elegant, bookish girl, fresh and refined, with elegant manners, and so demure that it seemed to be a moon flower.

Who is she, and where have you seen her......

Wang Ningan suddenly remembered, this is not Su Laoquan's daughter, the sister of Da Su and Xiao Su, I heard that her name is Su Banniang, God is pitiful, Wang Ningan has only seen her two or three times, how can she be full of cranky thoughts?

Did you grow up on your own? Started to get started?

Wang Ningan hurriedly lowered his head and looked at it carefully, it seems that the capital is not small, and his happiness in the future will not be far away...... In the past few days, Wang Ningan has been stupid and stupid, and he always loses his mind when he has nothing to do, which makes many students have opinions.

Lao Ouyang even called Wang Ning'an, criticized him fiercely, and asked him to lecture attentively.

However, after the matter of the school was finished, Old Ouyang immediately became pleasant.

"Erlang, several of your businesses are running, and the food has arrived, during this time, almost 100,000 disaster victims have poured into Cangzhou, and Lord Bao still wants you to have an idea, how to settle down?"

"It's easy!"

Wang Ningan rarely cheered up, "Drunkard, I estimate that we will build a city of 200,000 people." ”

"What?" Ouyang Xiu's voice changed, "Do you need so many people?" 200,000 people, north of the Yellow River, except for the Daimyofu, there are no cities with more than 200,000 people! Jiro, you're not telling a joke, are you? ”

"Of course not, two thousand sailors for whaling, three thousand for dock workers and shipbuilders, one thousand for transporters, five hundred for soap, five hundred for candles......"

Wang Ningan counted them one by one, Ouyang Xiu raised his head, silently summed up, and in the end, the old master was completely stunned, it seemed that there were more than 200,000 people, what a big deal!
