It was already past mid-spring, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.
Su Ce brewed a pot of date tea and explained his idea to Zhu Houzhao.
"This isn't a toilet, it's a sauna.”
"What's a saunas?"
"There's a charcoal fire burning in the ground, raising the temperature in this small room. After taking a bath, let it stay inside for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
"Isn't it hot?"
"Of course it's hot now. It'll be fine in winter.”
After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he thought about it seriously. His eyes lit up and he said,"This is a good thing, brother Ce, you really know how to enjoy yourself.”
"Uh, do you want to build it yourself?"
"Yes."
"I'll help you."
Zhu Houzhao squatted down with his butt sticking out and said in a daze,""What is the mud on this brick for?”
"It's cement."
"What kind of mud is cement?"
"It's for reinforcement."
Su Ce didn't need to explain the principle of cement to Zhu Houzhao.
He squatted next to the saunas, piled up the bricks with cement, and began to pile them up.
Zhu Houzhao followed suit.
With Zhu Houzhao's help, the two of them sped up the construction. Most of the time, Zhu Houzhao was doing the work while Su Ce was very slow.
If he were to build this small round saunas, he would probably need at least six to seven days. However, with Zhu Houzhao's participation, the original six to seven days of construction was completed in just over two hours.
Zhu Houzhao curiously looked at the results of his construction and then looked at the use of the cement. He could not help but be surprised,"This is good stuff. The Ministry of Works will definitely like it.”
Su Ce smiled." The cement formula is very simple. I'll write it down for you later. If it's useful, send it to the Ministry of Works."”
This was not a great invention, but Su Ce did not pay much attention to the convenience of the construction of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ministry of Works could play a role, it might not be a bad thing.
"Hehe, don't worry, brother Ce. I won't take it for free. If the people from the Ministry of Works think it's useful, I'll sell it to them and earn two cents.”
Evil creature!
You want to earn your own family's money? Do you still have any conscience?
However, Su Ce didn't mind if it could bring him some money.
"Yes, it's up to you!" he said with a smile.”
Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said,"Brother Ce, just you wait and see how I'll take all the wool from the Ministry of Works!"”
Awesome!
As he spoke, the system's voice sounded in Su Ce's mind.
" Congratulations on completing the construction of the Sauna Room. Reward: Healing Effect."
This saunas will have its own healing function, which can quickly heal all external injuries. Life-threatening external injuries cannot be healed.
Your house experience 20, current house level LV2, progress 30%
This reward was quite reasonable. Su Ce didn't think that he would be injured by external injuries. Of course, life was bound to be full of bumps and there would always be some small injuries. It was better than nothing. Su Ce was still happy.
"I'll try to see if this saunas works first.”
Zhu Houzhao was like a cat, curious about the unknown.
"Alright," Su Ce smiled.
"Go to the pool for a while. I'll go heat up the saunas.”
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Houzhao took off his clothes and rushed into the hot spring.
Su Ce ignited the coal below the saunas. After a while, the temperature of the saunas began to rise. There would be some coal inside, so there would be no fear of poisoning and there would be a gap for ventilation.
The dense smoke in the saunas gathered and lingered around. It was all hot air.
Zhu Houzhao wrapped himself in a towel and said impatiently,""Brother Ce, Brother Ce, can I go in now?”
"Yes." Su Ce replied.
Zhu Houzhao rushed into the spa.
Although it was mid-spring, it was still a little cold. After entering, a wave of heat washed over them.
"Awesome!"
"Brother Ce's brain can really think of anything. This is really good stuff.”
"When I get back tomorrow, I'll build one in the Eastern Palace so that Imperial Father can enjoy it.”
Su Ce handed a pot of water with ice cubes to Zhu Houzhao and said,""If it's stuffy, drink some. If you wait too long, your mouth will be dry.”
This little brother was really good and thoughtful.
His mouth was indeed dry, but his body was indescribably comfortable. After drinking a glass of iced water, every pore on his body exploded.
It was a top-notch enjoyment!
It was said that the people of the royal family would enjoy themselves, but compared to Brother Ce, it was nothing.
Su Ce didn't enter the sauna room. He sat down at the stone table under the big banyan tree in the backyard and wrote all the information he had collected in the market in the past two days.
For example, the long-term workers at the Huitong River Pier could earn 100 to 500 wen a day.
Some were hired by the government, while others were privately hired. However, the common people were more willing to work for the privately hired long-term workers, even if the income was lower.
Another example was the commoners who did not have any skills. Apart from farming, they would also work as night watchmen and go to rich families to deal with feces.
The income of these laborers was even lower, but that was all the people without skills could do.
Zhu Houzhao had already come out of the saunas comfortably. He was dressed and walked to Su Ce's side with tea.
If anyone else saw the crown prince pouring tea like this, their jaws would probably drop.
However, Su Ce was not flattered. They were all equal. Su Ce had always thought so.
"Brother Ce, what are you writing? Drink some hot tea. I didn't add ice for you, so you should drink less ice water.”
Zhu Houzhao knew that Su Ce had a phthisis disease, so he didn't dare to let him drink ice water.
"Yes."
Su Ce nodded and pointed to the stone bench beside him.""Sit down."
"Alright."
After Zhu Houzhao took his seat, Su Ce showed him the statistics he had gathered over the past few days.
Zhu Houzhao watched and learned seriously. Gradually, he had an intuitive understanding of the livelihood, income, and expenses of the common people.
However, Zhu Houzhao asked curiously," Brother Ce, why aren't these river workers willing to take on the government's work? The government is clearly offering a better price. Why do they still choose to take on private jobs?"”
Su Ce thought for a moment and said," I've told you a lot of things. You might not have the direct feeling. I'll bring you to take a look."”
"Alright, alright."
Zhu Houzhao liked to go out and wander around, but Su Ce was the opposite. Unless it was necessary, he did not like to go out. However, the matter of teaching the Crown Prince was more important, so he went out.
The two of them walked very slowly. Su Ce would occasionally greet the people he knew from the shops on the street, and the neighbors would always respond with friendly smiles.
It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. Zhu Houzhao also saw people smiling at him, but they were all fake smiles. He envied Su Ce, but at the same time, he knew that this was Su Ce's charisma.
The two of them arrived at the dock.
Coincidentally, he saw the minor officials of the Water Transport Yamen handing out wages.
Zhu Houzhao's face turned red when he saw this. He finally understood why the commoners would rather take private jobs than work for the government.
