Nowadays, industry is industry, and business is business, unlike the merger of industry and commerce in later generations, businessmen control capital and industrial production. Today's handicraft owners are craftsmen themselves, and although they are engaged in business activities, they are not businessmen, either legally recognized or socially recognized.

These people rely on their own crafts to eat, and they are quite proud. It was purely because Renjutang's reputation was too loud, and the order given was really unbearable to refuse, so they reluctantly accepted it together with the victims. Even so, they were afraid that the victims would secretly learn the craft, so they were only allowed to do some heavy work, unless the victims already had the craft, which would be a surprise.

Most of the order was carpentry, and a small part was made of iron. Because there are only four occupations among the disaster victims: farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons, it is easy to arrange. Only after the carpenters and blacksmiths had produced enough tools did the stonemasons have the opportunity to dig the rocks.

The first batch of orders is the basic tools of all kinds.

"Tell those who are going out to deliver goods, hire two victims to go together, otherwise don't want to take orders." Xu Yuanzuo confessed to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili has always done the work of looking at people's faces, and this time he suddenly has a lot of money, and everyone looks at his face, and he is a little unaccustomed to it at first glance. However, he is also good at balancing his mentality, and sees this order as a gift to maintain relationships, so when he gives it, he is still discussed, so that others can take it comfortably.

The feedback quickly reached Xu Yuanzuo, and the business traveler was not worried about bandits on the dozens of miles to Songjiang, but he was afraid that the victims would steal things and run away, and there was no way to catch them. So there is one more clause in the employment conditions, only the man who drags the family. Because his wife and children stayed in Tang Xing, even if he ran away, there would still be his wife and children to settle the account.

Xu Yuanzuo was certainly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it. Men who beg for a bite to eat will not object - they have no intention of being thieves in the first place. What are you afraid of? What's more, men and women are placed separately, and they don't have to worry about their wives and children being bullied after they leave.

"Women and young children who couldn't work began to help boil water and porridge." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Well, there are more orders from the brick factory, and people without skills go to move bricks." Everything will be billed starting tomorrow. It's no longer distributed for free. ”

After yesterday's unpleasantness, Xu Yuanzuo doesn't plan to buy high-priced hot water today. Moreover, the work must be assigned, and the free assistance for two days has solved the problem of food and lodging and basic warmth, which can already be regarded as the fulfillment of benevolence and righteousness. From tomorrow onwards, those who do not want to work will only deserve to starve to death.

When Xu Yuanzuo said these words, Jiang Baili, Lu Dayou and Cheng Zai were all in front of him. Jiang Baili already had his own task, and he felt that this matter should not be for himself. Cheng Zai is looking at Lu Dayou, no matter what. That was the first subordinate that Xu Yuanzuo brought out.

Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, remembering the earnest teachings of his elders: There is work to be done!

"Yes!" Lu Dayou hurriedly came forward.

In Xu Yuanzuo's opinion, Cheng Zai is the most suitable candidate to manage the disaster victims, but Lu Dayou can also try. The key is to see who is more proactive in doing this. Since Lu Dayou volunteered to be brave, he nodded at Lu Dayou and clapped his hands: "Okay, let's start doing things quickly." There were only five or six hundred victims in total, and the trouble was so big. ”

There was a lot of commotion when people came. Of course, it's scary to watch. Once the accommodation is assigned, there is a queue in and out. neatly and neatly, five or six hundred people will not seem to be too many. In fact, in later generations, many schools had more than so many people in one grade, and they rushed out for spring and autumn outings, and they didn't hear of any big trouble, so it can be seen that the key is two points: people's hearts are stable and disciplined are observed.

It's too early to say that people are at peace. At most, it is only to avoid dying of hunger and cold, so discipline is even more important.

Luo Zhenquan and Gan Chengze respectively led people to patrol in Tangxing, and the original team of 100 people recruited apprentices and nurses. Today, there are 300 people. This time, in order to ensure the social and economic order of Tang Xing, more than 600 servants from various families were brought in, each carrying sticks, and patrolling all night.

As a result, security is even better than it was before the arrival of the victims.

Li Wenming received Xu Yuanzuo's request for help yesterday, and before dawn this morning, he rushed to Tang Xing with the Zhuang class and a few "public officials".

These people all know that Tang Xing is the helmsman of Renshoutang, and Xu Yuanzuo of Renshoutang is called "Zuo Ge'er", and he also has a private nickname called "Scattered Wealth Boy", which is about the best person in the world. As long as you have a little relationship with him and be careful with him, you will never lose money.

The three shifts of the yamen catch fast, and the standing class soap is to save face for the county master; Catching fast hands is used to solve crimes. Both of them are considered officials and have a structure, but they are discriminated against, and even their children cannot participate in the imperial examination. The Zhuang class is a "mortal" in law, but whether the children can participate in the imperial examination depends on whether they can find someone willing to vouch for them.

This time, because of Tang Xing's matter, everyone thought about this beauty, and in the end, it was because the Zhuang class was responsible for guarding the city gate, and he was the first to know the news, so he took it. The other two classes had no choice but to wait for the next good thing.

This group of more than a dozen people, near noon, arrived in Tanghang Town, and saw that there was a porridge shed outside the city, and someone was building a house, and I didn't know what it was for.

Xu Yuanzuo stood outside the construction site, and from time to time he had to command two sentences.

Li Wenming stepped forward and shouted, "Jing Lian." ”

Xu Yuanzuo turned around and smiled: "Mr. Li, why is it too late!" ”

Li Wenming wiped the sweat on his forehead angrily, and said, "I don't think there's anything important about you here." He also told Dong Weng to worry all night. ”

"Haha, it's the student's fault." Xu Yuanzuo pretended to apologize and didn't take it to heart at all.

Li Wenming didn't really want to complain about Xu Yuanzuo, and asked: "How many victims have come this time?" How much money do you need from the county? ”

"There were 586 people in all." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Yesterday it was five hundred and seventy-eight, and eight more came this morning." ”

Li Wenming looked around, his brows tightened: "Jinglian, you won't!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Yuanzuo didn't react, what does it mean to "not to"?

"Five hundred and eighty-six people, nearly six hundred, if you want to say that you can also allocate a hundred taels of silver." Li Wenming was curious and puzzled, and said, "But you are not the one who lacks this bit of silver." ”

Xu Yuanzuo reacted at this time and said with a smile: "Sir, do you suspect that I falsely reported the number of victims to cheat on relief?" ”

"Why don't you get some people to put on a show here." Li Wenming stretched out his hand and said secretly in his heart: I don't even pretend to be a scene. It's too ugly to eat! And there are many people, God knows who will tell the truth, and they will have to suffer in the future. Young man, what a carelessness.

Xu Yuanzuo sighed and said, "Mr. can bring someone here, the main thing is to use the official authority to deter some brainless rammers." Silver is not used. The gentry of Tang Xing donated a lot, but they couldn't use it up. He watched Li Wenming's eyebrows fall together, his mouth couldn't close together, and he felt even more funny, and said: "As for the disaster victims, they have been dispersed, those who should go to work have already gone to work, and those who should help are helping." Sir, look, those who don't have the strength to work are the victims. ”

Li Wenming is detailed and discerning. Sure enough, I found that the same person who was a worker, someone walked like the wind, and he was not afraid of a hundred catties of strength on his shoulders! Some people are so weak that they can only move bricks one by one, and some look like they will die after walking a few steps.

"This ...... You're fast, but these people can still work? Li Wenming grinned.

"They can't actually do the work, and they mainly hire local labor." Xu Yuanzuo said: "But it's not appropriate to let them wander around the house." Their bodies are so depleted that they hurt their spleen and stomach, and their blood and qi are stagnant. If you only rest in bed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover for ten days and a half months. Come out and walk around. Boost the blood qi, supplemented by liquid nutrition, and recover much faster. ”

Li Wenming said: "What Jing Lian said is deeply in line with medical theory. ”

"Furthermore, they are uprooted from their homes, and some of them are still ruined, if they don't find something to do. If you indulge in misery, not only will you not be able to get better, but you will also be depressed by others. The savings are ruthless, and I can't say that I still have to fight. Xu Yuanzuo only knows a little about psychological intervention, anyway, it is better to divert the attention of the victims than to let them get together and cry.

Li Wenming's concept of "camp roar" comes from books. I don't take it seriously, but I'm quite convinced by the previous words. If you take a closer look at those who go to work, although they are physically exhausted, they are still in good spirits.

"Yesterday, someone grabbed porridge and was reprimanded by me. Today, no one is lazy and treacherous, it seems that I am a villain. Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.

Li Wenming also felt a little incredible, and said: "The most difficult thing for the victims to relieve is that 'life has no love', except for food, nothing can arouse their interest." Jing Lian can ask them to work, which is indeed very rare. ”

- Actually, it's nothing, just beat up those who don't want to do it.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Probably because the people who can come here are more or less still lovely." ”

Only then did Li Wenming think about the overall situation and asked, "Does Jing Lian know how many victims there are this time?" ”

"Not sure." Xu Yuanzuo refused to open his mouth to talk nonsense, and said: "However, half of the people who came out of Xu Huai went north, about to Henan, Shandong and other wealthy prefectures and counties. Most of the people who went south stopped in Changzhou, Suzhou, and Yingtian Prefectures. There are only about five or six hundred people who really went to Tang Xing. ”

Li Wenming stood with his hands in his hands, walked to the construction site, and looked left and right.

Xu Yuanzuo called Qimiao to beckon those people and the "gongs" to go to the inn to rest, and at noon they had to serve more meat and vegetables to entertain them well. A group of strong class officials smiled, and even sighed that there were not many things to do this time, and the oil and water were not small, and it was really worth it.

"Jing Lian, what is this house for?" Li Wenming saw that the inside was dug deep, and he didn't open the window even after he was overhead, so he didn't look like a resident.

"Public baths." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Many diseases in the world are born from filth. As long as you wash it frequently, you can avoid diseases and prevent plagues. ”

"It's a bathhouse,......" Li Wenming muttered, "But the bathhouse is not like this?" ”

The origins of public bathhouses are ancient and cannot be verified. Broadly speaking, a group of people gathering in a building to take a bath should be considered a bathhouse. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the capital of Nanjing was built, and in order to solve the problem of bathing for 200,000 servants, a large number of bathhouses were built under the suggestion of Liu Bowen. Because the shape looks like an upside-down urn, it is also called an urn. One of the urns was open for business until 2013, when it quietly closed.

If Xu Yuanzuo has anything to say to future generations, and let the people of that urn be passed on from generation to generation, it is probably the most reliable.

"The pit you dug down here doesn't look like a fire road." Li Wenming compared the flow of the culvert, and was even more puzzled: "And it's so shallow, how can you soak it?" ”

The standard shape of the bathhouse in the Ming Dynasty is two "bags" on the top of the head, the windows are not opened on all sides, the pool is divided into left and right, and the bottom of the pool is burned with firewood.

Because the head is a dome, it is easy to store heat, and the condensed water droplets will run down the smooth walls and will not drip on people. Not opening the windows is also for insulation. There are two baths in the "urn", the bottom of which is empty, so that you can make a fire and keep the water warm.

People soak in the bath, and the fire burns underneath, as if they were being slowly cooked by a cannibal tribe.

Li Wenming saw that the bottom of this bathhouse was only dug so shallowly, and he couldn't imagine how Xu Yuanzuo planned to burn the fire.

"If you really want to be comfortable, you have to go to another house." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "I am here for the cleaning of the victims, and the emphasis is on the word 'fast', so there is only a shower." After that, Xu Yuanzuo took out a drawing and showed Li Wenming his exclusive design for the showerhead.

However, because he was a poor liberal arts student, he couldn't figure out how to draw hot water, so he had to cleverly put the water supply on the roof of the building and use the height difference to supply the water. This requires the quality of the house to be excellent, and it would be a tragedy if it collapsed due to too much water on it.

After listening to Xu Yuanzuo's explanation, Li Wenming fell into deep thought, his lips closed one by one, and he stopped talking.

Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "If there is anything unclear about Mr., you can ask directly." ”

――In the end, it involves the principles of junior high school physics, and it's normal to not understand it, so don't be embarrassed, hahaha!

Xu Yuanzuo laughed in his heart: This is the most satisfactory design he has made since he crossed over.

"Since the water potential is low, and the water supply is supplied by the height difference, why not choose the mountains in the east of the city?" Li Wenming has been to Tang Xing a few times, and the surrounding terrain is imprinted in his mind, and he blurted out at this moment: "Relying on the hill over there, the furnace is on top, and the bathroom is below, the project can save a lot of money." ”

- I was ridiculed, how can I be scolded!

Xu Yuanzuo was like a lightning strike.

Li Wenming was strictly a friend of Xu Yuanzuo, and he didn't eat his food, so he was unconscious, and said to himself: "Jinglian, if you want to use it in a hurry, you still have to move over there." Besides, if this bathhouse is placed at the city gate, it is inconvenient to enter and exit the water. On the other side of the mountain, it is more convenient to slotted to divert water. Oh yes, it's more convenient to cut wood for firewood. ”

Xu Yuanzuo wiped his face lightly and said, "What else does Mr. want to teach me." ”

Li Wenming thought for a while and asked, "Does Jing Lian still want to use iron pipes?" ”

"This ...... What do you think, sir? Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Iron pipes are durable, but they cost too much." Li Wenming said: "If you are in a hurry to put it into use, the bamboo pipe is the most convenient and the most economical." If it's broken, replace it, and don't feel distressed. If you want better, burn some pottery pipes. This is not the head of the family, how can it be so exquisite, it has to be iron. ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed lightly: "Mr. is reasonable! ”
