This King Zhou is not stupid

The storekeeper picked up a wooden sign on the table in front of the cabinet and said: "This is the place to store clothes. You can get a wooden sign here for money. The number on the wooden sign is the number of the cabinet. You can get the wooden sign after you take a shower." clothing."

"Then what if the wooden sign is lost?"

"Haha, under normal circumstances, you won't lose it, but if you really lose it, then you have to ask someone from the Ministry of Human Resources to come over."

Losing clothes in the bathroom is far more serious than losing things in ordinary times, so the store will ask someone to look at the cabinets instead of opening the cabinets with a sign.

The current Chaoge does not have such a convenient lock.

Song Yiren also nodded and didn't say much. These days, there are too many petty thefts.

"It's unavoidable, it can only be done consciously."

"Come this way again."

The shopkeeper led Song Yiren further into the bathroom, and when he entered the bathroom, the first thing he saw were two square pools, which caught Song Yiren's eyes.

"What is this pool for?" He asked knowingly.

'The bath, the bath, probably just puts hot water. '

"The pool will be filled with hot water in the future. The water temperature will not be too hot. It is the same temperature as the water used for bathing in ordinary people. The water will be brought in from the bamboo pipe over there."

The shopkeeper pointed to the bamboo pipe at the corner of the pool and said: "The bamboo pipe goes straight into the bottom of the pool to avoid scalding others. As long as you are not stupid enough to touch the bamboo pipe, you will be fine. The water in the pool can be scooped up in a basin and washed aside."

"Unlimited hot water?"

"Unlimited." The shop owner said with a smile: "But you are not allowed to do laundry here, only people are allowed."

This is what Song Yiren wanted to say just now, there is no limit to hot water, just wait until the bathroom is full of laundry people in a few days.

"There are windows next to the house for ventilation, but not too much heat. The water is left from the terrain here to flow out of the bamboo pipes in the corner, and finally flows into the gully outside, so there will be no stagnant water."

Some people may say, won't the dirty water be polluted if it is discharged outside?

However, if you think about it, people still use naturally degradable substances such as saponins or plant ash. Even if these things are polluted, how dirty can they be?

"Then how much do you pay for washing one person?"

"Not much, five dollars." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand.

"Only five dollars?!"

Song Yiren was dumbfounded.

"Hiss—let me think about it."

Song Yiren's businessman's mind began to calculate, first of all, it would cost a lot to build such a place, and the locker was also an expense, and then the firewood was needed to boil the water, and the firewood was also very expensive.

It may seem like a loss, but you can calculate it carefully.

"One person is five renminbi, one hundred people is five hundred renminbi, and one thousand people is five thousand renminbi. If there are many people, this is the way to get rich."

Song Yiren knows that the cost is not the problem, but the sales are the problem. What the merchants lack is the sales.

You can take a bath for five yuan, which is much more comfortable than boiling water at home and pouring it into a wooden basin to take a bath. Moreover, the design of this bathhouse shows that the heat is transpiring, and you are afraid of freezing in cold weather, not afraid of steaming.

Moreover, the water is heated in an appropriate amount all the time, which is equivalent to the fact that the water is alive, and the color of the water will not be too dirty.

No, even if it is dirty, someone will still wash it, because this is hot water, which is better than the river outside.

"If there is a division of labor and cooperation, several people boil water, several people carry water, and several people manage it, it would be good."

"It's pretty good, but it's a pity that this house belongs to the Ministry of Land, and I can only manage it, and I can't move it privately."

"Nonsense, you haven't done anything yet, and you still think the house is yours? Just be greedy!" Song Yiren laughed at the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't care.

Because it is true.

He definitely couldn't afford the money to build a house, and if he had that money, he would build his own house first instead of opening a bath.

"However, although you manage it, if you do something with the account..."

Before Song Yiren finished speaking, the shopkeeper covered his mouth.

"Hey, hey, you can't talk nonsense. You have seen the method of tracing back to the Ministry of Human Beings. This account cannot be faked. Otherwise, if someone has a heart to report it, I will face a lawsuit."

"You know it too."

Song Yiren was worried that the shopkeeper would be greedy, so he kindly reminded him, but he didn't expect him to know better than anyone else.

"In addition, the Ministry of Land has an incentive policy for bathing pools. When the business is not good, they don't need to charge profits, and the wages are still paid."

"Oh, that would be nice."

Song Yiren is most afraid of business accidents, making a lot of money and losing a lot.

But even if the bathhouse is losing money, it still pays wages, which is really good. Even he wants to let a few idle relatives from Songjiazhuang come to work here.

"Then when will you open, I will bring people to visit me then."

"Soon, soon, it will open half a month after the autumn harvest."

When the store owner heard that Song Yiren wanted to bring people to visit the business, he burst into laughter.

"I have Lao Song Yiren in the village to help me tell a little bit more."

Chapter 180 Nine: Feng Shui, if it goes along, it will prosper; if it goes against it, it will perish.

Winter is coming, but in the year of harvest, the common people have already prepared food.

In the past, when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, every household stayed behind closed doors and survived the winter with the help of the heat in the house. Even the beggars in the ruined temple had already built a fire with stones, and even filled their sleeping places with chicken feathers and weeds. It's not easy to freeze to death once you drill in.

In the past, most of the freezing days were spent like this. Even in the city, there were few passers-by on the streets.

But this year was a little different. As Di Xin expected, the baths were almost full.

As the most populous town in Chaoge, considering the total population, several bathhouses were built, but the entrances were still crowded.

"Five dollars per person, limited staff, first come, first served."

Seeing how crowded it was, some people backed off, but they also thought in their hearts, 'I must come early tomorrow' or 'Come again in the evening. '

As for the lucky people who advanced into the pool, they felt like they had entered a fairyland on earth.

"Ah, it's comfortable."

It's freezing outside, but the heat is rising inside the house, but there are a little too many people, and the pool is full.

Fortunately, Chaoge’s water burners are not ordinary people, but monks from the Ministry of Earth. Instead of firewood, there is a hydrangea burning with flames in the stove. A large pot of hot water is ready in less than a few breaths. .

Otherwise, with this flow of people, the supply speed of hot water is really unbearable.

And those small villages don't need to be so anxious, and the burning of firewood can keep up with the consumption of hot water.

A few students from the Chaoge Monastic Academy who had just finished school also came by coincidence, and happened to have a free space. After quickly undressing and putting them in the cabinet, they ran into the pool with the wooden sign.

At the moment when I slowly entered the hot pool, the acupuncture points of my whole body were really opened.

At this time, they saw an acquaintance in the bathhouse.

"Hey, teacher, are you coming to take a bath too?"

"Cough cough."

An old man with white beard coughed twice, turned his head and looked away.

"I am not your teacher, you are mistaken, I am just an ordinary old man."

There are many etiquettes for teachers in ancient big families. Basically, the 'teacher' is at the same level as the 'father', so the teacher has to be given priority when taking a bath.

But this white-bearded old man has been received with courtesy by more than a dozen monks from the Human and Earth Ministry this morning. Now he doesn't think etiquette is respect, he just thinks this etiquette is too annoying.

He just wanted to take a hot spring bath with peace of mind just like practicing in the cave.

"No, it's the teacher." The student continued to follow.

"If I say no, I won't, you three!"

The white-bearded old man moved his fingers slightly and pushed the three children into the pool. After about two breaths, he moved his fingers again and lifted the three children up again.

"Besides?" he asked.

"No, no." The three children were afraid.

"Our teacher is not so fierce."

"This water is a bit salty, and it tastes different from the river water." A child said while spitting water.

"That's right, take a bath with peace of mind, don't disturb others casually."

The white-bearded old man nodded, and then went to the area where no one was around, where the water temperature was higher and more comfortable.

On the other side of the women's bath, it is completely unsuitable for children, so I won't describe it here.

Although ladies generally don't go out, they are just average. Being able to take a bath in a normal temperature bath means that ordinary nobles don't have this kind of treatment, only the palace and princes and kings can have it.

What?What do you ask Longyang and Baihe to do?

This is not cured, let's mix it cold.

Di Xin only cared about the overall situation, not the details.

People who went out after taking a bath were covered in heat, and the road covered with a thick layer of snow was not so scary to them. The road in the village was not far away, and they would arrive home soon.

Not to mention in the city, the more popular it is, the faster the snow will melt.

Winter doesn't seem so scary either.

And Di Xin naturally had a better enjoyment. He took the concubines of the Sangong Sixth Court alone in a flying boat to a mountainside in the land of Nandu. There was a village here, most of which were destroyed when the cattle rolled over, but now it has been completely rebuilt.

I saw that it was between the mountainsides, and the clouds and mist shrouded the mountains, and the scenery was like a fairyland.

"My lord, this cloud and mist is not only the cold air, but also the heat rising from the hot spring in the mountain. The temperature of the hot spring is even more pleasant, and it also has the effects of strengthening the body, whitening and skin care. It is very suitable for the king and all the ladies."

E Chongyu was next to him, disregarding his identity as Nan Bohou, and explaining the benefits of Nandu Hot Spring to Di Xin with all his heart.

These emperors all know that because the hot spring is a natural mineral spring, it is equivalent to a medicinal bath, but it cannot be soaked for a long time. It is good to come here once or twice.

On the contrary, many concubines behind Di Xin were laughing and discussing something, and Empress Jiang was among them.

"Nan Bohou, your heart is lonely, and I plan to enjoy it here this time, but I also want to remind you that you should not be too indulged in pleasure as a human emperor or a prince. There is only one human emperor. But there are more than one hot springs in Nandu, why don't you develop one and make it a Nandu feature?"

Although it is not very good to say this, the land of Nandu has always been the poorest of the four continents.

Because the geographical environment is too complicated, if there are many mountains and forests, it is easy to have insects, ants, snakes and beasts. This means that there are many resources, but it also means that it is difficult to develop.

Even if there is a mountain of gold in front of you and you don't have a hoe, can you dig it out with your hands?Naturally, it is impossible, and only sporadic pieces can be taken.

Traffic is difficult and there are many dangerous places. Although the people of Nandu have lived here, it is still difficult to compare it with the great plains in the north, the land of fish and rice in the east, and the main roads in the west.

"My lord, these ministers have also thought about it, but there are many mountains in the south, which are not conducive to road construction. Even with flying boats, it is difficult to cure the root cause."

"Simple, go to the Ministry of Land, let them explore the terrain, open a road without affecting the mountains, and hollow out the mountains if necessary."

Where there are mountains, you have to learn from the dwarves who have a magical world view next door.

If it is time to dig a tunnel, you have to dig a tunnel. As long as the spiritual veins are not damaged, nothing is a problem.

No matter how much the human race destroys the prehistoric world, it will definitely not be able to break the prehistoric world into countless small worlds like the Great War of Western Magic, the Great War of Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin, and the War of Liches.

At most, it's helping Mother Earth with nail art.

But the spiritual pulse can't be moved, this really can't be moved, if it is moved, it may turn the blessed place into a fierce place.

"But I want to remind you that Fengshui is very important. Gu respects heaven and earth, because heaven and earth give people a place to live and leave a glimmer of life; but if someone dares to touch heaven and earth for their own benefit regardless of Fengshui, let alone someone else It is you, the position of princes and kings, and Gu also withdraws for you, understand?!"

"I understand!"

E Chongyu had been an official for many years, so he naturally knew what Di Xin meant when he said these words.

He doesn't understand Fengshui, but Xibohou understands, the four princes are old friends, and he has heard Xibohou say a lot about it.

In the novel, Feng Shui is just a family matter, but in the big picture, it is enough to change the dynasty.

Can imagine how terrible.

E Chongyu didn't dare to violate this taboo. When he returned to Chuzhou City, he had to imitate Emperor Xin's trick of killing chickens and monkeys to frighten the officials in Nandu.

Chapter 190: Expansion of Armaments in Xiqi, the Ritual of Ancient War

The people of Chaoge are living a prosperous life, but Xiqi's side has not changed much.

After Ji Chang took over the position of Marquis Xibo again, although he was still the sage Ji Chang, his sage index seemed to be a bit insufficient.
