Wang Juan was also thinking of ways to improve the lives of the people working. When she heard Zhang Xiaobao say this, she immediately widened her eyes and waited for him to tell her.
"It's Yaowang Mountain. We can't lack medicine. It's not Huaqing Pool. There's no hot spring. We can make a pool for them to bathe in. We don't know what Chinese medicine to put in, but someone will."
When Zhang Xiaobao saw others bathing, he thought of bathing in the pool. Not only could they wash off the dust on their bodies, but they could also relieve fatigue. They could also apply some Chinese medicine to disinfect and treat some diseases.
"Yes, that's right. Xiao Bao, you're right. Let's build a bathhouse for them and massage each other. Their fatigue will be reduced by a lot. Immediately go back and ask your father to fork out money from the yamen's account."
When Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao's idea, she immediately agreed. In the future, they would look around to see if there were any hot springs. There should be many hot springs around. In a place like Shaanxi, as long as they dug deep enough, they would be able to find hot springs. Because of the geology, they could also build one at home.
The sauna that was mentioned a while ago had not been built yet. They used the Mai Fan Stone to build one at home. It was the same on the other side of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "We can't use the county's money. We'll fork out the money. First, we'll try to build a few at the foot of the mountain and let people think about it. When the time comes, we'll build it on the mountain. If the yamen is built, who will earn the money in the end? We also need to find a professional for the massage. Let's practice on the people who are working first. When the time comes, we can also charge for it. "
"So that's how it is. Then in the future, we can't just build big ponds, we have to build small ones. Each person has a different position. The higher the status, the more money we pay, and the better the ponds. Xiaobao, what you're doing is immoral. You're making people use the workers to practice."
Wang Juan agreed to the first part, but she was a little conflicted about the second part.
"How is it immoral? Isn't it the same if they massage each other? Find those doctors or medical students to do this. The doctors can also do scraping, cupping, and acupuncture. When they aren't confident, let the doctors and medical students do it first.
To them, their excuse was to study medicine. Wasn't it good to have someone to let them experiment? He could teach his disciples, and in the process, he could discover some diseases in the living people. When treating them, the yamen would take care of the medicine, and it would be beneficial to the people who worked.
When he went up the mountain in the future, he would let them take care of him. They would provide him with a bath, a massage, and cupping. It wouldn't be expensive to charge a hundred copper coins for a set, right? If we sell some medicine, it will probably be a source of income. "
Zhang Xiaobao suddenly thought of the doctors at the docks. There would be more of them coming.
Wang Juan was no longer conflicted. It was indeed the case. It didn't matter who pressed. Under the guidance of others, it was much better than these people pressing each other. They must have pressed where they were sore and were not professional enough.
Thinking of doctors, Wang Juan also thought of the inheritance of medical skills. Now, most people were learning by hand. This was a little slow for medical skills to spread. She nudged Zhang Xiaobao, "Should we print some of Sun Simiao's books? We can give them to the doctors for free, but they have to help us do something."
"I think this is a good idea. We don't need movable type. We can just let people carve plates. We can print more at one time and collect all of Sun Simiao's books. In the future, we still need movable type. Otherwise, we can't afford to carve them. If there is someone with high medical skills and comments something, we can't carve it again and again.
Movable type is good. Let's make a mold first and reprint it again and again. We can leave more for reprinting. When the lead is melted, we can pour it in. We can make the words bigger so that the ink is not good and it is tiring to dip the ink. "
Zhang Xiaobao also agreed to print. It was too tiring to just copy by hand. It couldn't satisfy the doctors who came. At first, they wanted to carve plates, but later, they felt that they should use movable type.
Wang Juan reached out and pinched Zhang Xiaobao's face, "You are usually very smart. Why are you so confused now? Who said that you can't add comments to the plates? The original plates can be used, right? Can't you just carve another plate with comments? Put the two plates together and make the paper bigger. Then, it will be the original book with comments.
It is not easy to study movable type and it is tiring. You should let people think about it first and print Sun Simiao's book as soon as possible. This is a serious matter. You can't eat one mouthful and get fat. "
"That's fine too. Let's do it." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
"What do you mean by fine too? I have thought about it thoroughly. "Wang Juan emphasized her ability.
Those people were still working. They didn't know that because of their efforts, someone thought of better benefits for them.
Erniu, who was the closest to them, heard their conversation. He knew that the Little Young Master and Little Young Lady were kind. They were always the kind of people who were good to each other. If they were not good to each other, they would give them another chance. If they were not good to each other, they would not talk about using thunderous means.
They could feel sad for a child who was not eating well, but they could also look at a person who was killed and not change their expression.
When he talked with his master, he mentioned that officials could give him some benefits when the lives of the people under their rule were better. However, he absolutely disliked the idea of being greedy when the people were not able to eat. An official who was greedy and could let the people live a good life was better than an official who could not do anything and could only suffer together with the people.
Erniu could not understand. The two were almost extreme. Yes, they were extreme. According to what the Little Young Master and Little Young Lady said, why would two extreme things appear in one person?
"Erniu, why are you in a daze? You have another mission. Go there and bring back more Mai Fan Stones. Bring more money and buy more seafood. If you can buy a place with Mai Fan Stones, that would be even better. When you find a wife in the future, we will definitely arrange a decent wedding for you. "
Zhang Xiaobao just called Erniu, but Erniu did not respond.
"Ah? If I leave, what will happen here? "Erniu was a little worried as he accompanied the two little ancestors.
"We can't live without you. Find someone smarter in the inner court. My father is an official. Tomorrow, Cuckoo and I will come out with a guard of honor. There will be twenty horse-drawn carriages with canopies and umbrellas. There will be people holding signs in front. Along the way, yellow sand will pave the road, and still water will sprinkle the streets. When the civil officials see it, they will get off the sedan chair, and when the military officials see it, they will dismount.
What do you think? "Zhang Xiaobao joked with Erniu. Erniu also laughed," I will be beheaded. I will leave now. Little Young Master and Little Young Lady, you two be careful. This is not like Sanshui County. "
After talking, Erniu mounted the horse and left. Only he knew about this matter. It was impossible for others to be involved. Just like how Pomegranate was in charge of the loyal fungus, Cherries was in charge of the hatching of the chicks, and Xiao Hong did not tell others about the adjustment of the feeding recipe.
After Erniu left, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan continued to stroll leisurely. The road leading to the mountain had been built for more than two hundred meters. Baskets of soil and stones were carried down, and some wood was carried up and nailed to the side. When the time came to pull the rope, there was no need to worry about anyone falling down.
At the same time, they had to walk among the children and the elderly, listen to them chat, play with the children for a while, and ask them if they wanted to study. The two of them also carefully looked at the younger children. When they returned, they would ask their father to find someone to teach them how to take care of children and set up a kindergarten.
They did not expect to learn too much, as long as they could take good care of the children.
They stayed until lunchtime. Then the two of them washed their hands and prepared to eat together. For lunch, there was no stew. When there was meat, it was stewed. Scrambled eggs with cucumber slices, scrambled eggs with chives, and sweet and sour slices. These three dishes were really good, but there was not enough oil.
The two of them each had a bowl of small rice. They ate the dishes with extra eggs. That was the disadvantage of the small rice. It cooled down slowly, and they had to blow on it while eating.
The people were already used to the county magistrate eating here. They also knew that the two children were not picky and did not have the slightest restraint when eating.
In the afternoon, the two of them continued to observe the terrain and prepared to repair the lake. Because Erniu went to greet them, another clever person was sent over. He was seventeen years old and had been living in the main family. There were also three generations of his family. He usually did things quickly and did not cause trouble, so he was sent over.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also knew each other. His name was Zhang Xiangru, a man who gave a woman a name. No one knew what he was thinking at that time.
As soon as Zhang Xiangru arrived, he said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, "When I came, Master said that you two should go back quickly. The ship cannot be delayed."
"Oh, I know. Then let's go. In fact, it's not a big deal. The purpose of life is to enjoy. When the arrangements are made, just wait. We can't think about it all day."
Zhang Xiaobao stretched. He had just finished eating and was sleepy. He and Wang Juan went to the river to wash their faces and cool down. Then, they rode back on the horse.
A group of guards carefully followed around, afraid that the two little ancestors would fall asleep while riding.
When the two of them returned to the yamen, Zhang Zhong was there dealing with the people who came to report to the yamen. It was not a big deal. The number of people who were arrested a few days ago had reached four hundred. Those who were not killed were all sent to the road repair site to work.
After dealing with an old lady who had a lot of mice in her house and asked the adults to think of a way to get a few kittens, Zhang Zhong could finally rest for a while.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan just happened to come back.
"Xiao Bao, the news just came in this morning. Those people are staying in the first house in Linshui. The letter has also been delivered. What should we do next? I'll leave this matter to you. I still have to deal with the government affairs. "
Zhang Zhong called Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to the study. He decided not to care about the people on the boat. Recently, there were more people coming, so there were more trivial matters. In the past, the people would think of their own ways. Now, as long as they were close to the yamen, they would come to ask. There were all kinds of things happening.
