Chapter 386: Attack and Defense of Dalinghe City

Huang Han was not worried that this club would not attract dignitaries and nobles who had so much silver that they hid in the cellar and grew hair.

Because there are not only novel entertainment methods here, but also a lot of kitkats, it is impossible for the Ming people to see the fragrant bathroom decorated with tiles, and the flush toilet will attract many eyeballs.

Huang Han's explanation of the operation of the club Zheng Xiu'e listened to the clouds, mountains and fog, Chu Chu was already so excited that her eyes were full of little stars, because she was bought to learn art since she was a child, and she knew that it was too easy to do Fengyue business to earn money from officials and nobles.

I heard my husband say that the club that is ready to invest is probably ten times the size of Yichun Courtyard, and there is no shortage of Yichun Courtyard, and there will be many novel utensils presented to the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and there are different enjoyments for people to experience.

She thinks that once it opens, it will definitely be in the market, and Xizizi will take out her private money to prepare for the shares.

Chu Chu has lived in Jingshi since he was a child, and he is also extraordinary, and he feels incredible after using the bathroom designed by his husband and completed by skilled craftsmen.

She especially likes the feeling of taking a hot bath, and also likes the shower bath that her husband said, and admires the luxury of being able to take a hot bath at any time.

This is because the Huang family's private house in Tiger's Den City was completed in the summer, and the designer was Huang Han, who of course wanted to use the technology of this era to make his house as standard as possible for later generations.

With the purpose of research, Huang Han drew drawings and gathered many top craftsmen and skilled craftsmen to use nickel and white copper casting to polish by hand, made dozens of watertight valves, and built a water tower that used wind power, manpower, and animal power to drive the waterwheel to lift water to a high place to replenish water.

These things are actually not complicated, as long as modern people who have seen them understand the principle.

Huang Han often drew drawings in later generations, and now he drew sketches for the ingenious Ming craftsmen to ponder.

The water supply pipes are all insulated white copper pipes, and there are coal-fired boiling water stoves on the third floor above the bathroom on the second floor, pottery jars for storing hot water, and maids are responsible for maintaining the hot water level.

As a result, the Huang family's private home became the first mansion in the world to have a running water system, and five bathrooms can meet the needs of hot water supply throughout the day.

The water system is more luxurious, requiring a number of nickel and white copper pipes, the cost of the drainage system and sewer pipes is not high, all ceramic pipes are used, and the sewers against the wall occupy little space in this era.

Chu Chu knew that the building complex invested by Jingshi was an enlarged version of the Huang family's private residence, and immediately realized that in the future, this place would be full of customers, and the dignitaries and nobles who came just to feast their eyes on it would not know how many.

As long as people give enough silver, the Huang family can also undertake the business of building toilets for local tyrants in the future, which is an exclusive good deal, and it is easy to make a lot of money.

There is no doubt about it! The Ming government in financial crisis is really poor, and the grassroots people in Daming are too poor to live.

However, in the more than 260 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the output of gold and silver has been rising, and the trade with foreign countries has a net inflow of gold and silver, and the total amount is increasing year by year.

In the cellar of the dignitary's house, in the treasury of the landlord's old wealth! Therefore, the thieves laid down the Ming Jingshi, the Ming treasury was able to starve the rats to death, and the thieves' bones were almost empty-handed, but after the torture of the officials and nobles, it is said that they had 70 million taels of silver.

It can be seen how stupid the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty were, they didn't know how cold their lips and teeth were, Chongzhen asked everyone for help many times, and they all violated the yang and yin, and finally all of them were cheap and crazy thieves.

According to history, the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful for more than ten years, and it is the right time for Huang Han to make some novel enjoyment and earn the silver of the officials and nobles.

Chu Chu took Zheng Xiu'e's hand and saw that she was still meditating, and said with a smile: "Sister, what did you think when you first saw our bathroom?" The buildings we invested in Jingshi are all built into such houses, what effect will it have? If you have a good place, you still can't make money? ”

Zheng Xiu'e thought more complicatedly, she muttered: "In this way, isn't the trend of extravagance intensifying? I don't know what the attitude of the saint is. ”

Chu Chu said: "Seven or eight out of ten extravagant places in the Ming Dynasty are in the north and south of the two capitals, and the emperor has ordered three orders and five times to put an end to extravagance, and who listens?" The place is still in the market, our Huang family has the ability to do business unparalleled, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing not to make a lot of money? ”

"Our high-ranking officials are generous, I'm afraid we can't all rush to make money, we always have to see the reaction of the courtiers and the attitude of the Son of Heaven."

"Sister, don't forget that the 'Red Banner Army' will double next year, and the shortage of food and salary will probably be as much as hundreds of thousands of taels, and the defensive war will basically not be captured, it is all consumption, if the supply can't keep up with the defeat, our family will be nothing."

The rise of the Huang family is based on military merits, relying on the "Red Flag Army" that has won many battles, and only by raising this army can Zheng Xiu'e of the Huang family be protected.

She said: "It's true, if we can't afford to raise the 'Red Flag Army', our family will lose everything, and it's really good to make some kitkat out and earn the money of the nobles!" ”

After the two women reached a consensus, they immediately chattered about how to do business, their big girl and Huang Han's maid Red Sleeves, Cailian, Peach, Red Sleeves, etc., a total of 14 people, are now capable of financial management and business, and they are all gossiping and giving advice at this time.

Huang Han will return to Jinzhou to celebrate the New Year with the front-line soldiers in a few days, he is seizing the time to write and paint, and Tian Xiang has always been by his side.

Leave the concept drawings and manuals and let Zheng Xiu'e and Chu Chu and the big girls participate in the design, after all, these girls have learned sketching for nearly a year, and it is difficult for them to draw a sketch.

With the sketches and their wisdom, it should not be a problem to complete the construction of the main building of two or three floors and a small number of four-story buildings, after all, the plasterers have practiced building the three-story concrete masonry structure of Huangfu and the large hall of the "Red Banner Army" camp.

At this time, the historical trajectory is still moving in the general direction, but it is slightly different, it was originally the reinforcements led by Zhang Chun in the battle of Changshan A few days after the defeat, Zu Dashou who had eaten up the people in Dalinghe City killed He Kegang and surrendered.

The current situation is different, although the losses of the Guanning army are not small, but there are still eight or nine thousand people holding on to Dalinghe City, and their grain and grass can hold on for at least four months.

There was a lot of grain and horse feed in the city, of course, because of the loss of more than 6,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses.

While organizing the traitors to persuade them to surrender many times to break the fighting spirit of the Guanning army in Dalinghe City, the slave chieftain stepped up the siege drills of shield vehicles and ladders, and saw that almost a month had passed, and the persuasion was still fruitless.

The Red Gang finally lost his patience, it seemed that it was impossible to capture Dalinghe City without bloodshed, he gave up his illusion and gave the order to take the city by force.
