Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 98 The Game in Shangshui County 9
"My lord, Lu Tianshou suddenly made an attack today, my lord, please take a look."

Before Xiangwu, the county lieutenant hurriedly came to the county government office, with an extremely hasty look on his face, and handed the interrogation record book to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate looked surprised, and secretly thought that the overall situation had been decided, and it was nothing more than a price paid by the Lu family. Based on his understanding of the whole matter, Wang Xiu didn't take Lu Tianshou seriously at all, and his gestures were calm.As a seasoned bureaucrat, it doesn't take much effort to understand Wang Xiu's detached attitude. He is a tribute judge, and he is willing to learn the truth. Fame, or make persistent efforts to gain fame, it is not impossible for the Son of Heaven to be recruited.

Therefore, he is in a good mood. The three-year term of office is about to expire, and the seven years of Zhenghe have passed safely. His examination results are at least above-average. Yamen.

When he read the record book, his face turned livid, he threw the record book heavily on the case, glared at the county lieutenant, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on, tell me, what's going on?"

The county lieutenant didn't want Zhixian to be so angry. He looked at the magistrate who had never moved in the mountains and landslides in horror, not knowing what to do.He also wanted to take advantage of the Lu family, try to hook up Lu Zhenniang, and Xiaoyi took this piece of meat with righteousness, but he didn't want to get rid of this stupid thing, so he burst out with foul language at that time: What a fucking bad luck.

The magistrate's expression was not good, and he said in a deep voice: "It's nothing more than making trouble with the rogue, it's just a means, this matter is too hateful."

To the Wang family, the rogues were not worth mentioning.At this time, the Wang family was full of joy, Xie complained about Wang Cheng for a long time, always running out in a hurry, now he finally understands.

"Mother, the Fragrant Bathhouse co-founded by Daddy and Uncle Niu is about to officially open. I'll come back and tell my mother and sister, let's go and have a look."

Not long after breakfast, Wang Xiu was going back to the house.Mrs. Xie also went to wash the dishes, but Wang Qingzhu announced the news with a smile.

"What's the big deal for me? What, your father and Niu Yao? They hang out together, what business can they do, and open a fragrant bath house."

Wang Xiu was surprised. He really hadn't paid attention to Wang Cheng, but he didn't want the blueprints he took away last time to be made by his father without making a sound. He couldn't help being a little surprised.Don't look at the simple device, maybe it will create a new era, this is by no means alarmist.

"Hehe, mother, don't worry, what daddy does is a big deal, and mine is too." Wang Xiu laughed.

"Of course what Daddy does is a big deal, why don't you see it." Wang Qingzhu smiled and gently squeezed Wang Xiu.

"Oh, mother, the elder sister bullied me." Wang Xiu avoided it exaggeratedly.

"Stop making trouble, it's not big or small." Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "It turns out that you, a girl, partnered with your father to hide the truth from me."

"Mom, it's great to be able to go out to work again. It's been a long time since I've had my mother's fried mutton with scallions." Wang Xiu smiled, and mutton with scallions was his favorite.

"Look at how greedy you are." Mrs. Xie gouged out her son's eyes. For many days, she was puzzled by Wang Cheng's mysterious appearance, which turned into a puddle of spring water.

Wang Cheng and Niu Yao planned secretly. After a month of assembly and debugging, the Fragrant Bathhouse, which cost nearly 30 yuan to buy, was finally opened. In addition to the two large pools, more than 20 compartments were remodeled. A shower is installed.In addition, there are more than [-] shower devices on the wall next to the pool, making full use of the space and maximizing commercial benefits.

After the hot water is boiled, several strong hired workers use a multi-layer gear winch to deliver the hot water to the water tank. The same is true for cold water delivery. Using the height difference, the water is supplied by double pipes and controlled by a pedal valve.

Everything adopts the bathhouse model of later generations, except that compartments are used to make it more elegant, and some people use electric pumps to pump water manually.However, multi-layer gear winches have already appeared, and when the water volume is not large, the transportation is not laborious.

Wang Cheng could feel elated, he admired his son from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but have these precise constructions, as well as the detailed instructions on the operation of the shower, which saved him a lot of effort and allowed his old friend Niu Yao to quickly see business opportunities, and things developed. It went well.

Their way of publicity is quite unique. With a swipe of a pen, they said, "A gentleman loves cleanliness, etiquette cannot be abandoned, high mountains and flowing water, enjoy it."

Although there are some that, but the meaning is very clear, the shower room with compartments can avoid the embarrassment of bathing together, so that those scholars who pay attention to etiquette can also avoid the trouble of boiling water, and come in and take a good bath.There are even five premium shower rooms, complete with showers, small sinks and bed cabinets.

According to the business method explained by Wang Xiu, the Fragrant Bath Hall will be open for free for three days, and folks can come and go at will, showers and pools are at their own discretion, and it is named "Tianlin Hall".

Since it is free, of course it is attractive, and there is an endless stream of people who come to take a bath.I have to say that the shower is quite novel. Many people come here for the rain. They don’t need a ladle, but they can get hot water by stepping on it lightly with their feet. You can also soak in the pool for a while, rub your back and then use the shower A rush.

The wine became famous within one day, but three days later there was still a constant flow of people. Dozens of separate rooms even required reservations, and finally had to limit the number of guests.

Niu Yao and Wang Cheng were quite surprised. Although they found a business opportunity, they never expected that Wang Xiu's small improvement exceeded their expectations. After the bath, everyone praised the convenience, two yuan for a large room, five yuan for a single room, and five yuan for a luxury single room. Twenty dollars, that's still in short supply.

"Nephew Xian is really a genius. You look at the faces of the youngest and the others, they are almost green." Looking at Rijin Doujin, Niu Yao couldn't close his mouth. Just outside Tianlin Hall, he looked at Wang Xiu. It's like saying no money.

Wang Cheng looked at his son with relief, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help smiling with his beard.

The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth were twitched by Niu Yao's praise, and he stared blankly at the big yellow-toothed mouth that spewed out saliva, carefully keeping a distance so as not to swallow his saliva.

"Uncle Shi, you can't rest on your laurels, how much money can you earn in this small place!" He had already thought about it, and seeing that the two elders were in a good mood, he took the opportunity to propose.

"Nephew, do you have a clever plan?" Niu Yao's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and if he didn't know it, he thought it was burning with anger.

Wang Xiu glanced at her father, smiled, and said, "It's just a small county town. Besides, the exquisite things will be known sooner or later. It's better to make a batch of devices as soon as possible, and collect enough money to go to Wanqiu and Kaifeng. Jiantangzi will definitely win the first place in the fragrance bath industry."

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and Niu Yao's eyes widened even more, and the two nodded in unison.

Niu Yao turned to Wang Cheng and said, "Brother, your boss is really a genius among my generation. This proposal is very good, just like the saying in the art of war: by surprise, the one who gets the first opportunity wins."

Wang Xiu saw that Niu Yao was serious and even pulled out the magical horse art of war, and couldn't help sweating profusely.

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "It's good, this money."

"Don't worry, bro, you and I will have half and half, and we will also put our livelihood in the government. Da Lang is right, small counties don't make money!"

Wang Xiu couldn't help but admire that this five-year-old and three-year-old Niu Yao was actually a wonderful person who was decisive in his actions.

Just at this time, there was a voice: "The two virtuous brothers are here, alas, the two Xiangyutang is open for business, and the brother has not arrived for some reason, ashamed, ashamed."

Wang Xiu pursed her lips, no need to ask, Zhang Wenshan's weasel paid New Year's greetings to the rooster, and he still had that little thing, Zhang Qiyuan.

Although everyone knew it in their hearts, they were more polite in public, to see who was enthusiastic and who thought of stabbing a knife in the back.

"Brother is so lucky that your family came up with a solution. It's really unexpected!" The elders talked and laughed hypocritically, and Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan retreated to the side tacitly.

Wang Xiu smiled very happily and sincerely, and said: "The luck is good, but I have to ask my classmates to take care of the business. Dude missed the free trial washing, why don't you go in and do the washing today, the younger brother decides to save the dude a few pennies. "

This is a naked slap in the face, completely a villain's ambition, Zhang Qiyuan hated the toothache, but had to wear a gentle smile on his face, and said: "A gentleman bathes and cleanses himself, how can he be seen in public, this is different from those Barbarians are so different, although my disciples of Confucianism bathe in the court, we still have to follow the etiquette."

Wang Xiu raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhang Qiyuan's hypocritical expression, felt like she was going to vomit, and said with a smile, "Don't be joking, bro, if Xiangyuxing finds out, I will definitely let you go."

"By the way, I heard that Lu Tianshou." Zhang Qiyuan seemed to say something casually.

"Master Bo."

Before he had time to speak, Wang Xiu turned his head after hearing the names of several elders, but saw Bo Youzai, the Lord of Shangshui County, coming out of the door.

"How is your lord washing?" Wang Cheng asked cautiously.

Zhu Bo is considered a famous person in the county. His surname is Hong and his name is Zhen.He glanced at Wang Xiu lightly, followed suit with a smile, and said with a smile: "As soon as you enter the small room, there will be bubbles in the soup pool, rain from the sky, a small knock on the narrow bed, combing, scraping, repairing, and a few cups of closed wind wine. Refreshing from the inside to the outside, the shower, the idea is ingenious, but it is in harmony with the way of heaven and man."

Zhang Wenshan's face was a little ugly. It seemed that the Wang family was in full bloom. Wang Xiu's single-handed sugar production was booming. Wang Cheng opened another hall, which was affirmed by everyone from the beginning.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I met two candidates outside Tianlin Hall." Hong Zhen looked at Wang Xiu with a smile on his face, but his expression was quite playful.

Wang Xiu chuckled, not sure if it was possible, but Zhang Qiyuan said respectfully: "I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet an adult."

Hong Zhen's official position is not high, and Huang Jia's title is also given to Jinshi who came from a lower background, but it does not mean that people will despise him. Besides, he is still young, and he is easy to talk to others in the official world, not to mention that in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Qiyuan is originally a gentleman. polite.

"I participated in Lu Ming, a small official that day, but I didn't get close to him. I read a masterpiece a few days ago, and the more I read it, the more interesting I am." Hong Zhen only smiled at Zhang Qiyuan, but turned his eyes to Wang Xiu, and his tone was full of politeness.

masterpiece?Wang Xiu couldn't help smiling, it was indeed a masterpiece, and he also wanted to be too modest to make people feel hypocritical, so he said flatly: "Your Excellency's exaggeration is just reasoning, just like mountains and rivers, there is nothing good about it."

"Brother, don't be rude." Kong Hong was really displeased when Wang Cheng saw his son's aloofness, so he scolded him in a low voice.
