Chapter 191 Sulfur Soap

I can't get enough to eat, so what else is there to pay attention to hygiene?

This is a very real problem.

Many people do not have enough awareness of hygiene.Even some families with good conditions are included, and some of them are actually not very particular about this aspect.

As a particularly ferocious mouse since childhood, within the "jurisdiction" of the butcher, he can absolutely rule in terms of hygiene.Even when he was very young and hadn't established enough power, he would use Grandma Ye's influence to make the bandit den in the Ye family's residence fresh and beautiful.

He didn't even need to tell others why he did it, he just needed an order.

Warriors pay less attention to these things than literati.But as female relatives, they are of course more willing to accept a clean husband and son.The men of the Ye family are quite obedient to the female relatives. At first, they found it troublesome, such as washing their hair, taking a bath, and cutting their nails.But after a long time, they got used to it. Occasionally, if they didn't take a bath for a few days, they would still feel itchy and uncomfortable.

As a mouse who lived in a relatively closed environment since he was a child, Tu Hao had a very intuitive understanding of the hygiene situation of the big man this time.

Xu Mingxu said that he wanted to promote deworming, but it was not a sudden idea after chatting with Tu Hao now: "I heard something from the imperial doctor, and I know that keeping clean can prevent most diseases. People can't cure diseases, so try to get sick as little as possible. gone."

As a parent officer, he was a little ashamed when he said the last sentence.But for a while, he had nothing to do.Seeing a doctor is a very expensive thing.He dared to say that if he was sick when he was a child, the family would not ask him to see a doctor, and would just let him fend for himself.Although he is an unfavored bastard of the Xu family, his life must be much better than these ordinary people.

It is definitely not casual talk that a disease may ruin a small family fortune.

He can't make it possible for everyone to see a doctor, he can only try to make people less sick.

Tu Hao showed great enthusiasm for Xu Mingxu's deworming work.He didn't even work overtime that day, so he left on time. When he got home, he washed up and ran to ask Xu Mingxu, "Come on, how are you getting ready?"

Xu Mingxu was checking the maintenance ointment given by the imperial doctor. He misunderstood Tu Hao's words greatly, and said angrily, "I can do it anytime, isn't it that you are not ready?" He can understand that it is later than other people's homes.Otherwise, in these days of getting married, how could he live on soup alone?But this little mouse stabbed him with words.

"What?" After Tu Hao turned his head to see what he was holding, he suddenly realized that the topic was off topic, and glared at him with a blushing face, "I'm talking about deworming."

It's not about intercourse!Xu Mingxu inexplicably felt even more lost in his heart. After putting away the almost empty ointment box, he took a new box and put it in the drawer beside the bed, and said dryly, "I drew some pictures and made up some pictures. Some nursery rhymes, now let the artists make corrections."

Now the matter of water control is in turmoil, and there are many painters following the water control team.Some of them even learned to draw simple engineering drawings in a short period of time.There are more painters who use brushes to record the scenes on the construction site every day.He needs to find a few painters to help modify it, which is not difficult at all.

The two were talking, when suddenly a servant came in from outside and said: "Da Lang, Qi Lang, Master Zeng is here to look for you."

The two looked at each other when they heard the words, and they didn't know what the guard Zeng was looking for them at this time.While tidying up some appearances, the two hurried out, not forgetting to tell the servant: "Let the kitchen prepare an extra dinner, and clean up the guest room again."

Zeng Weiwei still had a serious look on his face. He sat up straight when waiting, and stood up straight when he was waiting, which was completely different from some shapeless mice in private.

After the three of them met the ceremony, Zeng's guard quickly expressed his intentions: "Your Majesty heard that the two of you are doing pest control. I wonder if it can be implemented in the army first?"

The two of them were not surprised at all. Boss Zhang already knew what they were doing before they started.

Xu Mingxu realized this, and he was originally inspired by the imperial physician to do this, and the imperial physician was behind the scenes to provide technical guidance.For Boss Zhang, this matter is originally a cross-departmental cooperation, how could he not know about it?

Tu Hao rubbed his paws, wishing he could agree with Xu Mingxu first.To make the common people change some living habits, they need to rely on various propaganda methods; but to make the soldiers change their living habits, all they need is an order.

Shave them all!

Simply not too much fun!

After all, Xu Mingxu was doing this.Instead, he took a look at Tu Hao, found his eyes sparkling, and agreed directly: "I can't ask for more. I don't know when the military preparations will start, and what kind of cooperation do I need from the lower officials?" It's just a matter of experimenting with the military first, and later. A good day is promoted among the common people.

Zeng Weiwei said: "The army can start at any time, and the time is still as soon as possible. Xiao Xu, just make arrangements, and the army will cooperate with you in other matters."

These words were very gentle, and the difference from the way the guards faced them before, when they could not speak without speaking, was very obvious.Both of them noticed it, but they didn't want to understand the change.

The three of them have known each other for many years, and nothing happened today that could bring the relationship between the two sides together; Zeng Wei didn't need to please them, and I don't know why it happened suddenly?

They couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't a bad change after all, and they didn't want to ask too many questions, so they warmly invited Guard Zeng to stay for dinner and overnight.

The next day, Tu Hao was busy with recruiting work, so he went to the construction site early; Guard Zeng took Xu Mingxu to the camp of the Imperial Army.

The vast majority of officers in the Custodian Army were of good birth.In the entire military system of the Han Dynasty, the Forbidden Army is the army with the highest personal quality.The conditions in all aspects are more superior than other armies.

So is hygiene, of course.

But when he stepped into the camp, Xu Mingxu almost couldn't help but want to cover his nose.

There is a lot of rain in summer, and the ground of the camp is muddy.It rained a lot last night, and the ground is not dry yet, and it is all muddy.Forget it, many soldiers started to practice in this muddy place without paying attention, most of them were still wearing full armor.In this weather, just wearing this suit is already hot and sweaty.The buzzing of some flying insects flying around these soldiers is simply tingling.Without getting close, you can smell the overwhelming "masculinity".

Zeng Weiwei said: "In summer, it will be cooler in the morning and evening, so we can only practice at this time."

Xu Mingxu sat stiffly on the horseback, silent: No, it's not a matter of when to practice.And secretly thankful that it wasn't a little mouse who came here.

He used to joke in his heart that his little mouse didn't know the sufferings of the people, but the news of the world came.

He struggled a bit, but in the end his sense of responsibility prevailed. Accompanied by the guard Zeng, he carefully walked around the entire barracks.In order to avoid re-entering, his memory was so extraordinary that he memorized almost all the details, and then he left the camp without stopping, and said to Guard Zeng, "I know it."

"The rest of the matter will be left to Mr. Xu." Seeing him like this, Zeng Weiwei was a little surprised in his heart, but also wanted to laugh, thinking that a scholar is a scholar, and he likes to pay attention to these things.

Xu Mingxu left the barracks almost as if fleeing for his life, and immediately took a shower and washed his hair, but he still felt itchy all over, fearing that he might also be covered with strange bugs like lice and fleas, so he asked the servant to check his hair carefully and point out Looking at the changed clothes: "It's all burned."

It was the first time the boy saw Xu Mingxu like this, and reminded him in a low voice: "Qilang, this is an official uniform."

Xu Mingxu was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly became extremely troubled: "Then wash it twice more, and wash it clean."

The boy didn't dare to say that the laundry at home couldn't be more clean, so he took the dirty clothes he changed and sent them to the mother-in-law for washing.

Xu Mingxu couldn't sit still, he ran to the front office to write and write, wrote several letters, sent people to deliver them separately, and solemnly ordered: "Be sure to hurry up!"

Seeing this, the colleagues thought that something serious had happened, and asked one after another: "What's wrong with Mr. Xu? I wonder if the officials and others can share their worries?"

Xu Mingxu was a little confused sitting on the chair at the moment. After hearing their question, it took a while to react, and suddenly asked: "I don't know how many days you all take a bath?"

"what?"

Xu Mingxu ignored his foolish colleagues, and used his authority to recruit all the barbers in the county. After receiving the reply letter from the commander of the imperial army the next day, he immediately took a few barbers to the barracks...outside.

Before the renovation is completed, unless necessary, he doesn't want to step in again.

A group of big-headed soldiers lined up to be shaved into bald heads, and then dug a pit by themselves and threw their hair into the bottom of the pit and set it on fire.

Shaving their heads was nothing at all, but this kind of burning made them feel a little creepy about performing some evil rituals.But the Commander and the coach stood on both sides with a bald head, even if they had something in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it.

The number of barbers is still relatively small.It took several days just to shave the tens of thousands of bald heads.The masters are also happy.Their business has always been very light, and shaving their heads is the easiest way. They can still eat and drink every day, and they even received a lot of wages before leaving. They are very happy.

As soon as the barber left, Xu Mingxu's preparations for the next steps were also completed.

He transferred a large amount of sea salt from Yurao through Zheng Han's relationship; he also transferred a large amount of sulfur soap from Taiping County; he transferred a lot of lime; he even recruited some excellent reserve soldiers from Xinshanguan military doctor.

In his impression, Tu Hao brought soap with him when he was in the Imperial College.Sulfur soap is also commonly used at home, and it is very good for cleaning.It’s just that fat is needed to make soap. In the past, there were not many people who raised pigs, and lard was very expensive. Soap was used among butchers and people close to them.

Later, the pig farms in Taiping County flourished, and there was more and more lard.Ye Yao simply set up a soap factory to buy lard from pig farms, which is considered to increase production.

The medics are still on the way.He has almost turned the entire Forbidden Army camp upside down.

"Everyone come and get a piece of sulfur soap, and go to the river to wash themselves clean."

"You have to wash your face too!"

"Those with wounds, redness, and discomfort, all gather here!"

"Boil the changed clothes in water and wash them clean!"

"Fill up all the puddles and sprinkle lime!"

"All tents are cleaned!"

……

After all, Xu Mingxu is an accomplished martial artist, with extraordinary lung capacity, a series of orders without others to do it for him, and he was full of breath. After a series of orders, he finally said, "If you fail the inspection, run around the camp ten times!"

A group of soldiers and generals murmured in their hearts: This little white face looks weak, but his voice is quite loud.

The author has something to say:

Soldier A (>dish<): the parents of the body, hair and skin.

Big Sun (* ̄ー ̄): Shave him!

Soldier B (/ω\): I, I'm shy.

Big Sun (* ̄ー ̄): Strip him naked and throw him into the river!

Soldier C ( ̄ω ̄): Let me go, I will give you money.

Big Sun (* ̄ー ̄): Don’t let it go, I’m not short of money.
