Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Well, it looks pretty good. It's magnificent at first glance, much better than I imagined."

……

"Are the lights in those corners candles? No... maybe oil lamps?"

"Hehe, it's a bit extravagant. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is no need for additional lighting during the day, so I just light it up for a while from dusk to midnight every day. The bathhouse's own revenue should still be able to afford such consumption."

……

"By the way, do you have arrangements for things like medicinal wine baths and milk baths that I told you about last time?"

"This is something that our Huaxia has passed down since ancient times, and it is our characteristic. If those Hu merchants from other places come in the future, they may be able to make a fortune by experiencing the traditional Chinese medical culture. gold."

After casually praising Wei Xian, Zhang Yan suddenly asked the people beside him as if he had thought of something.

And Wei Xian was also taken aback, shook his head with a smile, and answered softly to Zhang Yan.

"Master, you are joking again... We are in Jiangdong, not Changluo, and we are far away from the countries in the Western Regions. How can there be any Hu Chamber of Commerce willing to come to us to do business..."

After a slight pause, Wei Xian continued:

"However, we have arranged the things you said according to the requirements. Not only are the places that look like King Zhou's wine pool and meat forest, but even some veteran doctors have recently heard that we are short of people. Now It's almost done."

……

"If I remember correctly, there are about a hundred doctors residing in Wancheng these days, and almost one-tenth of them have signed a contract with us and are willing to sit with us."

"Not only these doctors, but also many children from poor families or blind and deaf disabled people learn massage and physiotherapy techniques from these doctors. It will not take long before they will be able to become teachers."

"The one-stop service of spa and health care is really domineering. I experienced it once with a few workers after the completion of the bathing place. The feeling of being soaked in hot water made the doctors feel very disarrayed. It’s exciting, I don’t know where those old men got so much strength in their hands.”

"I just watched them beat and knead some acupuncture points for a while, and it made people feel a lot more comfortable. I think those generals of the army will like these things very much after they are tired from training all day..."

"Oh, right……"

Turning around and walking towards Zhang Yan's side, Wei Xian's voice was suddenly lowered to a very low level.

……

"I have also contacted all the brothel women who you asked me to recruit from surrounding Wujun and other places to provide health care services. As soon as this place opens, I can serve as special technicians to those dignitaries."

"Those old bustards heard that you, the owner, are in charge of this bathing place, so they are all very obedient, and they promised not to solicit customers at random. Only those guests who have received the signal will provide special services, otherwise it will be just some massages. , recuperation and the like.”

"In this way, even if the mistress and the others come here occasionally, they won't easily see these things."

……

"Well, okay, I see."

Nodding silently to Wei Xian, Zhang Yan then put the matter behind him.

Not everyone in the world can find a wife like him who is shy and can be of the same mind. Most of the family marriages in this era are still mainly marriages, full of uncertainties and interests. exchange.

It can be said that where there is a demand, there is a market, and Zhang Yan can use this method to solve many contradictions and disputes in society.

Everyone knows that the legalization of piao prostitution will to a certain extent lead to the intensification of human trafficking, but few people have noticed that 2000 years ago when the basic living guarantees of the people were not met, places such as brothels and elegant gardens It has indeed reduced the occurrence of many snatching of relatives, adultery, and even sex robbery in the city.

Problems that can be solved with money, people are less inclined to use force and cause harm.

There is no way for Zhang Yan to quickly implement the absolute prohibition of selling yinpiao prostitution and gathering people for gambling during this period. This is the irresponsibility of the local sex workers and disrespect for the private property of casino owners.

It's just that if these dangerous industries can be gradually officialized and regulated and their harm to society can be gradually reduced, then after a long enough period of time, until people's needs are fundamentally resolved, pornography and gambling The big bad habits will break down on their own, and there will be no soil for existence.

……

"In this case, the function of this building as a bathing place is already perfect. Kuai Qi, remember to issue a decree tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, the bathing place will enter a trial operation state, and the bathing fee will be temporarily set at two five baht coins. The price for those who use private baths will be increased to ten times, and the time limit is one hour. If there is no problem with the operation, the place will be officially opened from next month, and the operating income is responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the entire water conservancy complex."

"In addition... everyone here is my own, so I won't hide it."

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard and have a look. That is the core area of ​​this building and the hub area of ​​the entire waterway."

"The bathing place outside...is just a cover, and you all know it if you think about it."

Turning around and looking around at the people present, Zhang Yan said slowly.

……

From now on, Chapter 53 will be renamed to Yaochi Wonderland

"Master, just look, this is the hub of the entire waterway."

……

After crossing the entire front half of the bath, everyone entered a spacious backyard.

Different from the magnificent and bright lobby in front, as soon as they entered the backyard, everyone could clearly feel a trace of industrialization.

It can't be said to be barren or messy... It can only be said that compared with the clean and tidy walls in the front hall, the most serious ones in the backyard are some stupid, black and thick concrete buildings.

Among these cement buildings, the most conspicuous ones are the three huge towers in the middle.

……

It is recorded in the Western Bible, the Old Testament, and Genesis that God reached a contract with the only remaining human beings after Noah's flood, promising that the rainbow is the witness of reconciliation.In the future, when people see a rainbow in the rain, they will know that the rain will not harm life and buildings, so that people can live with peace of mind.

The remaining people envied the majesty of God, so they gathered together to seek to build a tower reaching the sky, so as to fulfill their wish of leaving the earth with their feet and reaching heaven.

The Tongtian Tower in the city of Babylon has collapsed... Zhang Yan doesn't know how high that tower is.

But for him, the three giant "cylinders" in front of him, which are much taller than the buildings of the same period, have given him enough shock.

……

"Huh, fortunately this is in Jiangdong. If such a tall building is built in Luoyang, I'm afraid that those courtiers will show up to the emperor and punish me as trespass?"

"The reason for dedicating the sundial to Liu Hong in the first place was that apart from the lack of money and the help of his adoptive father, the main reason was that the height of the sundial had already surpassed the city wall of the Luoyang imperial city. Although the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty could bring me A lot of convenience, but from the perspective of the development of the whole country, there are still quite a few restrictions."

"When you have a chance in the future, try to revise and subscribe again."

……

"What do you mean by that sentence... To develop a style and system that is in line with national characteristics according to local conditions, history and culture must not be allowed to become a stumbling block to the development of the country."

Muttering to himself, he looked at the building in front of him. It wasn't until half a day later that Zhang Yan wiped off his sweat and looked away.

In front of him, the three towers are 30 meters high, one big and two small are distributed in the courtyard in a triangle shape.

The two smaller water towers are not bad, only three or four meters in thickness, while the diameter of the trunk of the larger water tower directly exceeds five meters, and even ten strong men may not be able to complete it completely hold on.

In the current Lujiang River... no, in the current Dahan, the average civil building will not exceed three floors, at most around ten meters, which is already the scale of the main house of a local wealthy family.

A huge building like a water tower is naturally beyond the scale that most people in Lujiang can touch in a lifetime.

……

"After trying for a while, we built a total of five water towers near here, and two of them failed to pass the acceptance due to quality problems. We demolished the above-ground part, and transformed the underground part into an extremely huge water storage tower. well."

"As for the three water towers you see now, they are the only remaining achievements during this period, and they are also the main source of power to support the water supply of public buildings in the core area of ​​Wancheng."

"As of yesterday, the water tower here has been connected to the underground waterway and the water supply of the bathhouse, the Lujiang government office, the Wancheng government office, and the large library. We only need to adjust the valve to carry out the water supply and discharge work. And our The water supply channels are all made of pure copper and reinforced with cement on the outside, so there is no problem in terms of water pressure bearing, this has been confirmed with Ma Jun and Zhang Ju many times.”

"In rainy days, these water towers will close the valves to store water, and when it is dry, they can open the gates to release water. It is very convenient and efficient whether it is to supply water to buildings in the city or to irrigate the farmland outside the city that is extremely water-scarce. Far beyond the original human transportation."

……

He kept describing the function of this set of water supply and release hubs to Zhang Yan. Every time Wei Xian finished talking, Zhang Yan showed a more satisfied look on his face.

What surprised him even more was that the other party not only fully realized his request, but also built many novel things from the perspective of the Eastern Han Dynasty on the vacant land.

Such creativity and initiative make him extremely satisfied.

……

"Master, these two water storage wells are rebuilt from the foundation of the failed water tower, and the water storage capacity is only a lot more than the water tower."

"If it is rainy, we can store water in it, and when there is a drought, we will artificially transfer the retained rainwater to the water tower for unified irrigation."

"Although this is a bit labor-intensive, it is always good to store more water, in case there is a drought in the future, isn't it?"

……

"Master's house, this is the place where the boiler boils water. It's a bit dirty inside, so don't go in."

"I saw Kuai Qi and the others tell me that it was extremely painful to work in the government office when it was freezing last winter, and they happened to have the relevant technology, so they remodeled the boiler you gave me to supply hot water for the bathing place. built one."

"This thing has no technical content, and it doesn't cost much, but it can supply hot water to several public buildings in winter, and even increase the temperature in those places after long-term recycling. This is simply killing two birds with one stone."

……

"Master, this is the control center. Usually, the hot and dirty water from the bathing place will be put in this pool to cool down, and then used as irrigation water for the farmland, which can effectively reduce the water consumption of the water tower."

……

"Master, and here..."

……

Unknowingly, under the guidance of Wei Xian, Zhang Yan browsed the entire bathing place and the waterway hub area behind the bathing place.

I don't know if it's because I haven't cared about wonders for too long, or because cement, a highly malleable building material, helped Wei Xian open the door to a new world.

In short, in Zhang Yan's eyes, many things that he thought were very complicated before, such as plumbing, heating and other projects, were actually realized one by one with Wei Xian's efforts.

Maybe there are still relatively few places where these water towers can supply, but if it takes a long time in the future and these technologies are still extremely strong after years of testing, he may mobilize the whole city to achieve the great feat of heating the whole city in winter. It's not too difficult either.

These things have little to do with his original purpose of building waterways, which can be said to be a complete surprise.

……

"good, very good!"

"It's still the old rule. I won't ask you about rewards. I will reward you with gold, silver, and treasures depending on the situation. Don't shirk Wei Xian, Kuai Qi, and the rest of you. You deserve it."

"In addition, Wei Xian, you really proved to me your potential... This really surprised me a bit."

"That's it. In the future, the Lujiang government will add a new construction department. The veterans of the construction team will all change their staffing and transform into technical officials. This is an iron rice bowl. It should be very good for many workers' families."

"As for the people..."

Touching the handle and thinking for a moment, Zhang Yan simply gritted his teeth and said to everyone:

"People over there, Kuai Qi, go and issue a notice. All the people who participated in this construction can receive a subsidy of [-] yuan from the Lujiang Finance Department with their identity certificates. This is not much money, but it is also part of our A lot of heart. The people have worked so hard for so long, this is the reward they deserve."

"What's more... Tomorrow, except for the official offices, all non-official institutions in the city will be closed for three days. Just in time for the opening of the bathhouse, let the common people relax."

Smiling and giving instructions to everyone, Zhang Yan planned to leave here.
