Chapter 538 Swimming Pool

The new house naturally needs to live in a comfortable life. From the beginning to now, Chen Xu’s least used to going to the toilet. He used to wipe his butt without paper, but now he is very unaccustomed to the way of shit in the toilet. A large pit made of bricks and stones, with a few wooden boards on it, and then he squatted on the wooden board to pull it, and then he had to be careful. If he accidentally splashed a splash of feces. Although the toilet in Qinghe Hou Mansion was improved under his suggestion, there were two chutes made of stone bricks on the cesspool, but there was no water to flush the shit. Every time he went to the toilet, Chen Xu always wanted to flush the pile of shit with his urine...

Therefore, this time, Chen Xu decided to build a new squat pit and toilet according to his own design.

The Marquis' Mansion has a large population, and the emperor rewarded the servants one after another, and the Marquis' Mansion also purchased a lot of servants. Therefore, the entire Qinghe Marquis' Mansion now has more than 500 people and more than 200 horses, which is definitely a big business. For example, the toilets for servants and servants are just built. It is enough to build a few separate public toilets for men and women according to later schools. The septic tank is arranged to be cleaned frequently, but the toilets used by themselves and their families must be higher-end. A flush toilet and a flush squat pit are necessary. Then a bathtub can be built to lie in it and take a bath. The shower must also be used.

This place is right next to the Wei River, which makes it easy to get water. Chen Xu specially asked Hu Kuan to add another canal to the dam that drives the water truck, which directly leads the river water to a manor seven or eight miles away through the canal, and creates a living water.

Originally, Chen Xu planned to build a water tower in the yard, and use the manpower water truck to send water into the water tower. Using the water pressure generated by a drop of several meters high, it can be used to send water into the bathroom, toilet and even the kitchen. But so far, it is just an idea, because this idea is basically impossible to achieve without cement, so Chen Xu has never cared about this matter.

But today is different. Cement has been developed successfully, and the production of a water tower will inevitably be completed soon. With tap water, toilets, flush squats, bathtubs and showers, no longer problems.

Follow several officials through the layers of rooms and finally arrive at the backyard.

The bathroom has been reserved, the bathroom and kitchen have been repaired, and all the trenches on the ground have been dug. A large number of pottery pipes customized in a pottery workshop have also been sent to pile them in the yard. These pipes are thick and thin, long and short, straight and bent, and tees.

After traveling to the Qin Dynasty, Chen Xu discovered that the use of pipelines was already very common in the Qin Dynasty. Each building in Xianyang City had pottery drainage pipes, one end thick and the other thin, and there were T-shaped three-way or even cross-shaped four-way joints. Moreover, these drainage pipes were connected to each other and buried underground to form a very complex and smooth drainage system. Even if it rained heavily, there would be almost no water accumulation in Xianyang City, because if water accumulation or flooding occurs, officials and craftsmen who originally designed and installed drainage pipes would be arrested to serve their sentences, so no one dared to cut corners or randomly designed and installed them.

At present, the ceramic bathtub, ceramic basin, toilet, flush squat pit and ceramic tiles have not been delivered to Xianyang.

The drawing was taken back to Qinghe Town when he returned to Nanyang to marry. Gaohe, who was in the pottery workshop, took over the glorious task of the first sanitary revolution in human history. However, these bathroom equipment was too large and very troublesome to do, so I don’t know whether it was successful.

However, whether it is a bathtub or a washbasin, the toilet does not have much technological content, and it only takes time to successfully make it. Chen Xu believes that Gao He will definitely be able to make what he needs.

There are many poor people in this era, but there are also many wealthy people. At least there are more than 100,000 royal and nobles and wealthy merchants in Xianyang. If the bathtub, ceramic basin, toilet, etc. are installed in Qinghe Villa, I am afraid that many royal and nobles in Xianyang will follow suit. After all, this is something beyond the times.

Chen Xu thinks there will still be a big market for the future development of ceramic bathrooms. Although this era is very primitive, the desire to a better life will always be the same.

When you turn on the faucet, you will see a rush of water flowing out. No one can refuse this magical feeling, especially when taking a bath, a faucet will enter hot water and a faucet will enter cold water, and then you will relax in the white ceramic bathtub, drink a glass of red wine, and have a wet hug with the beautiful little maid. That kind of temptation, hiss, is simply... shameless...

Chen Xu drove away the wet little maid who was full of white eyes with saliva, and said with a strange smile along the way: "Don't rush to install these pipes. Some of the things I customized have not been delivered yet. Today I came to design a swimming pool!"

"Mr. Marquis, what is the swimming pool?" Several officials began to sweat on their foreheads.

It is the middle of May, and the weather is hot. They have been suffering for several months to build this Qinghe Villa. It is almost completed. The Marquis actually asked for additional projects. This is the most deadly thing, because this Qinghe Villa has been in a hurry to work. Hundreds of prisoners suffer from heatstroke every day. The longer it is, the greater the consumption and loss.

Looking at the faces of several officials like bitter gourds, Chen Xu comforted him considerately: "Don't worry, this job is very simple. I'm helping me dig a large pool in the backyard that is ten feet wide, twenty feet long, four feet deep and seven feet deep. The shape does not have to be square. You can dig as you see how you dig it more conveniently!"

Several officials breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

This pool is not small, but digging a pit is the easiest to do when it comes to building a house. One of the senior officials asked in confusion: "Mr. Marquis, you already have a pool in front and back yards. Why do you do this too much?"

"This is a swimming pool, not for raising fish and flowers, but for playing in the water to cool off. You see, there are so many women in the family, so you can't take off all your clothes and go to the river to play in the water. With this swimming pool, the hot weather will make the women in the backyard... "

"Hey, the Marquis's idea is indeed novel and wonderful!" Before Chen Xu could finish his words, several officials immediately thought of a very beautiful scene and scene. In the clear pool, many women without clothes were stripped off and played in the water, with their plump breasts and fat buttocks full of temptation.

"Hiss~~" Several of them swallowed each other.

"How about it, what's my creativity?" Chen Xu stood under the eaves and said proudly with his hat suffocating the wind.

"The Marquis's idea is naturally very good, but it is best to use bricks and stone to build the bottom of the pit and the walls, otherwise there may be mud and sand!" a craftsman reminded.

"Well, just do what you said. The bottom of the pit and the walls are made of bricks and stones, and the water inlet and drainage pipes must be designed well. Go find paper and pen. I will draw a simple sketch. You can dig the swimming pool with the terrain of the yard. However, there is no hurry when building the bottom of the pit and the walls. The factory has successfully developed a magical material called cement that turns mud into stone. It is much more convenient than the three-fold soil. With cement, the swimming pool should be repaired quickly and there is no leakage..."

When Chen Xu was speaking, a craftsman quickly brought hemp pulp and graphite strips. Chen Xu quickly drew the shape of a swimming pool, and the water inlet and drainage pipes were drawn, the depth of the pool was also marked, and several steps and handrails were designed to enter and exit the pool.

"Mr. Marquis, this swimming pool can only be used in summer, so it is best to build it in the most remote place in the backyard. There is also an open space near the entrance of the canal in the backyard, close to the wall. The subordinates think it is more suitable there!" said an official from the Inner Palace.

"Let's go and have a look!" As a large yard of more than 200 acres, the front yard has about 150 acres and the back yard has about 60 to 70 acres. There are courtyard walls in the middle. Such a large yard is full of houses. Chen Xu has come here for the third time, and many places don't know what it looks like, so he can take the opportunity to carefully observe his new house.

Leading a group of officials to the wall of the backyard, there is a canal directly leads to the front yard, connecting the two ponds of the front yard and the back yard. This canal is led from the river, which ensures that the Qinghe Villa flows clean water all year round.

"Mr. Marquis, it's here!" The officials of the Ministry of Works pointed to a wasteland in the shape of a crescent-shaped wasteland beside the canal. "This place was originally intended to be used to plant a piece of bamboo, but the weather is hot and cannot be transplanted, so it is empty here. Moreover, the terrain here is the highest, the water inlet and drainage is the most convenient, and it is also the most hidden place. It is surrounded by trees and walls. Female family members will not be looked at by anyone in the water. It is very safe..."

"It's not bad, this place is just right and the size is enough. Let's just let me know here. After digging, I'll go to the factory to find Zhang Wen, the cement workshop. He will arrange for craftsmen to guide you on how to use cement. After repairing it, I will notify me that I will stick tiles at that time!" Chen Xu nodded with satisfaction.

"Marty, what are the ceramic tiles?" Several craftsmen looked at Chen Xu again in confusion.

"Porcelain tiles are tiles that are as smooth and white as porcelain. I have arranged for someone to fire them in Nanyang. Then use cement to paste the bottom and wall of the pit next to each other, and then fill them with water. This swimming pool will be very beautiful..."

While a group of officials were thinking about what this swimming pool full of tiles looked like, Chen Xu braved the scorching heat and drove back to the Academy of Sciences.

Now that cement is available, ceramic tiles are definitely not a big problem. It only costs a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it from Nanyang to Xianyang. However, there is no way to do so. Because there is no porcelain clay found near Xianyang, it is only the easiest to fire it from Qinghe Town and transport it.
