Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 109 The Emperor Also Comes to Increase Shares ([-])

In the afternoon of August 1590, 10 AD.

Huang Laifu was dressed in armor, accompanied by Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu, and a few servants. He had just returned to the Qianhu House from the barracks in Wuzhaibao. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a voice from inside: "My lord has returned home."

Entering the thousand-household house, Gu Yunniang said in a repeated voice: "Quickly, hurry up and prepare the washing water for the adults, and remember to make a pot of good scaring incense."

Then I saw Gu Yunniang coming up with two maids, Liu Huan and Meiyue, and said with a smile, "Master is back? Is it still hard work?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "It's okay."

Surrounded by Gu Yunniang and the others, he entered the hall, and saw several tables set up in the hall, several sisters were playing with their mother, mother-in-law, and Jing, Feng, and Fang. There was a clatter of noises, while his father, Huang Sihao, was chatting with his father-in-law, Gu Qianhu.

Seeing Huang Laifu came back, his mother Yang raised her head and said with a smile: "My son is back, but is it still hard work?"

Huang Laifu said: "Thank you, mother, for your concern. The baby is fine." He greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law again, and then went to the backyard.

The current thousand-household house, expanded after Huang Laifu's marriage, is more than twice as big as before. A few days ago, my sisters, father-in-law and mother-in-law moved in and lived in it. More than enough.

Jiang Dazhong and the others stopped in the front yard, where some houses were also arranged for them.Huang Laifu, Gu Yunniang, and Liu Huan and Meiyue walked through the courtyard and came to a backyard. This is the private residence of Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang. Apart from Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang, this courtyard is where Liu Huan and Meiyue lived. Live in a side room.The courtyard is quite quiet, and there are several big pagoda trees in it.

When they came to the courtyard, Liu Huan and Meiyue's second daughter took off the armor for Huang Laifu. Huang Laifu stood up with a smile and let the second daughter serve him.When Liu Huan and Meiyue Ernv met Huang Laifu's gaze, their faces turned red.

Among the two girls, Liuhuan and Meiyue, Liuhuan is more handsome, while Meiyue is rounder. The two girls are housemaids, and their status in Qianhu House depends on the preferences of the host and hostess. Gu Yunniang is okay, But they were a little worried about Huang Laifu, but after the dowry came, they found that the male host Huang Laifu had a very kind temper and was usually very funny, which made them very happy living in the thousand-household house.

The only worry is when Huang Laifu will take them in, because according to Daming's etiquette, if the housekeeper has been married to the hostess for two months and the host has not taken them in, it means that the host is dissatisfied with them. Terrible thing.But fortunately, Huang Laifu took them all into the house a while ago, and the second daughter felt more at ease. At least now, they also have the status of a concubine in the Thousand Household House.

After removing the 57-jin iron armor and replacing it with a cloth robe that he wears at home, Huang Laifu also heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relaxed.He leaned comfortably on the bamboo reclining chair in the courtyard, enjoyed the massage from Liu Huan and Meiyue Ernv, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart, the joy of being at home is also a joy.

The current Huang Laifu practiced the sergeants in the field in the morning, and went back to the Qianhu House in the afternoon, and then dealt with some things in Wuzhai Fort. His life was quite regular.Huang Laifu calculated that from the end of August to now, the Wuzhaibao sergeants have practiced in formation, orders, and military discipline for nearly two months, and they have almost practiced. In a few days, they can start practicing martial arts such training.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Yunniang said: "Sir, the tea is ready, let's have a sip of tea."

Huang Laifu took the hot tea cup that Gu Yunniang handed over, took a sip, exhaled, and placed it on the tea table next to him, then said: "Miss, you have worked hard, come, let me kiss you." Pulling Gu Yunniang over and hugging her in her arms, the tentacles are plump and soft, very comfortable.

Gu Yunniang let out a low cry, blushing all over her face. After getting married, although Huang Laifu often made similar intimacy, Gu Yunniang felt ashamed every time.

She said angrily, "Master, someone is watching."

Huang Laifu took a look at Liu Huan and Meiyue, who were blushing and dared not look at them, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, Liu Huan and Meiyue are not outsiders, we are a husband and wife, and we are just and fair." The big hand slid on Gu Yunniang's upturned buttocks, it felt really good.

Gu Yunniang's eyes became watery, she gave Huang Laifu a blank look with shame and anger, and kissed Huang Laifu helplessly for a while.Huang Laifu let her go. After Gu Yunniang got up with a blushing face, Huang Laifu saw Liu Huan and the second daughter Meiyue giggling. He said with a smile, "What are you two laughing at? I didn't say anything, you also kissed together."

As he spoke, he pulled the second daughter into his arms, and the second daughter gave Huang Laifu a tight hug, and whispered, "My lord..."

Huang Laifu suddenly became interested, he said: "Shall the four of us go into the house?"

Gu Yunniang said shyly, "Sir, what are you talking about? How can there be that... that in broad daylight?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of in broad daylight? No one will see you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but drive the three girls into the house, and then...

※※※

Huang Laifu took Gu Yunniang for a walk on Wuzhaibao Street, Liu Huan and the second daughter of Meiyue followed behind them, Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu and a few servants followed behind them.

Going out shopping with Huang Laifu, Gu Yunniang was in high spirits, chatting about something from time to time.Now walking on the streets of Wuzhaibao, the original dirt roads with potholes have long been replaced by straight and solid concrete roads, with clean drainage ditches on both sides, and many big trees transplanted beside the drainage ditches.This smooth and solid cement road makes Wuzhai Fort look brand new.The paving of the cement road also allowed many merchants in Wuzhaibao to see the wonderful use of cement. Many merchants began to purchase cement in Wuzhaibao, which also expanded the scale of the Great Wuzhaibao Cement Factory.

Walking on the street, there is a rush of people, and military households and merchants come and go, but the streets are very clean, which is naturally the credit of the Wuzhaibao City Administration.This kind of scenery naturally made Gu Yunniang very impressed. She has lived in Kelanzhou for a long time, so she naturally knows that although the city of Kelanzhou is large, it is far from being comparable to Wuzhai Fort in terms of cleanliness.

Huang Laifu was also very proud of all of this. Although the urban architecture of Wuzhaibao was not as good as some big cities in Ming Dynasty at this time, the management and cleanliness of the city was no worse than any city in Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Huang Laifu, Gu Yunniang and others walking on the street, the military households and merchants they saw naturally saluted them respectfully. Gu Yunniang responded with a smile, Huang Laifu nodded slightly, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

※※※

The urban planning of Wuzhai Fort has a certain shape, and some public utilities should also be put on the agenda, such as the public baths and public toilets of Wuzhai Fort.

Public baths in China appeared as early as the time of Qin Shihuang. In the Song and Ming dynasties, public baths were even more common. These baths are equipped with cabinets for clothes, hats, and boots. No matter men or women, it only takes nineteen dollars to enter the bath. For a penny, you can get bathing, back scratching, hair combing, shaving, pedicure and other services.

Regarding the public toilets in Chinese cities, they were managed by special personnel in the Han Dynasty.By Song and Ming Dynasties, the cleanliness of Chinese cities was even more famous in the world. Whether it was public toilets in the city or feces from houses in various blocks, there were special feces collectors called Tingjiaotou, which formed the nature of the industry.

Needless to say, the cleanliness of Ming Dynasty is the highest in the world at this time, and the cleanliness of ancient Rome in the West at this time has disappeared after the Middle Ages. At this time, Europeans generally do not bathe. Queen Elizabeth takes a bath once a month and is considered a clean freak.During the period of Louis XIV in France, the Louvre was full of shit from kings, queens, princes, and princesses.The British were even more unambiguous. Elizabeth I's mother, Boline, ate and drank on the toilet at the wedding banquet.

Since Wuzhai Fort used to be a military fort, the people living in it were poor military households. This hygiene habit has been reduced to the level of the French and British. The streets are full of sewage and dirty beyond words.Now through the vigorous management of the Wuzhaibao Urban Management Bureau, the sanitation on the city streets has been greatly changed.However, this person's hygiene habits must still be kept up.

It seems that the establishment of public baths and public toilets in Wuzhai Fort, as well as the promotion of personal hygiene, is urgent.It is time for the Wuzhaibao Urban Management Bureau and the Wuzhaibao Wenwei Group to hold an event.

Huang Laifu was thinking while walking, while Gu Yunniang was looking around with great interest. She took Huang Laifu to go to the shopkeeper Du Maozhen of Derun Cloth Village to see if there were any new floral cloths.

At this time, a servant came up and reported to Huang Laifu that some local officials from Daizhou led a group of people to Wuzhaibao to visit and inspect farms in various places, and asked Huang Laifu if he would like to meet them.

A few days after Huang Laifu's marriage, Zhang Wenbao took the drawings of Huang Laifu's big water truck, the actual objects of Huang Laifu's irrigation well, the actual objects of the hand press, and several craftsmen from Wuzhaibao. After the first month, Wuzhaibao would often have officials from various states and counties organize groups to visit Wuzhaibao. Only then did Huang Laifu know that his Wuzhaibao's bumper harvest had created a commotion in the capital.

Regarding this matter, Huang Laifu and others were happy for a while. After all, the bumper harvest in their fort can attract the attention of the emperor and officials from all over the place. This is a good thing, and it is also the face of everyone in Wuzhai Fort. , Huang Laifu and others also warmly received them, and truthfully introduced the success of the various farms in Wuzhaibao. Later, because there were too many officials coming, and these people just wanted to eat and take after arriving in Wuzhaibao, Huang Laifu finally He lost interest in reception, and only let the publicity team receive him, and he seldom showed up.

At this time, Huang Laifu said: "You give orders, let Ma Wencai of the propaganda team handle this matter."

The servant answered and went.

But then a servant came in a hurry and whispered to Huang Laifu, Huang Laifu couldn't help being stunned, and then he realized that he had to see this group of people because the court's middle-ranking angel had arrived.
