Chapter 292: The Poor in Heishui County

Wang Lanling only felt that his palms were a little numb, and after a little more than ten seconds, he didn't care.

Because he regarded the cheats as a sleep aid cheat, he had already died and became a martial arts master, so he didn't think about that kind of place at all.

Knowing martial arts is not a great thing, and there are many people around Wang Lanling who can do martial arts.

According to Zhao Wenrou and others, after practicing internal strength, you must study hard and practice hard, and this alone can persuade Wang Lanling to quit.

Lord Wang, you have passed the age of being able to endure hardships......

Everyone knows that as long as you work hard, you can make money, as long as you study hard, you can at least improve some knowledge and skills, but most people are destined to be ordinary people.

Wang Lanling is also an ordinary person, now that he has money and women and a bright future, why should he get up early and practice martial arts in the dark?

The current internal force is very weak, not much different from ordinary people, Wang Lanling himself is not aware of it, and others are also unable to detect it.

After moving his somewhat numb palm, Wang Lanling took turns to keep five fingers alive and gradually regained consciousness.

At this time, Wang Lanling walked out, sweating a lot because of sleeping, Wang Lanling was going to take a shower.

His house was one of those large manor-like houses, with more and more buildings constantly developing around the main house.

The main house is a high-rise building with a height of 19 meters, not the style of the tower, nor the style of the palace.

On each side of the main house there is a six-meter-high two-story building, which is divided into four directions, front, back, left and right, and is connected by white brick walls to form a small courtyard covering an area of 2,000 square meters.

It's not good if the house is too big, and the few people who live there can't hold it, and I'm afraid to live by myself.

Wang Lanling's family has 200 servants, in addition to washing, cooking, and cleaning, there are also sundries such as rent collection, patrolling, and guarding.

In such a big place, it takes more than a dozen people just to clean and more than a dozen people to cook, and there are a lot of messy things in ordinary times.

Wang Lanling's bathing place is on the third floor of the main house, where there is a way to pump water from the ground to the ground, and naturally there is also a way to pump water to the second and third floors.

As long as it's not too much trouble and doesn't care about consumption, those designers can really give you a whole mess of magical things.

Wang Lanling's house has a boiler that boils water, which can provide heating in the winter and heat several rooms in the main house.

Now the weather is not so cold, mainly used to boil water, and to drive some steam devices, such as steam-powered dough mixers and hair dryers.

When I first discovered this hair dryer for blowing hair, I was really amazed by Wang Lanling.

The hair dryer is a wooden handle, connected to the steam pipe outside the bathroom with a natural rubber pipe, and two wood chip pedals extend from the pipe, and when you step on the left, you will blow hot air, and when you step on the right, it will be ordinary wind.

This thing is the only one in Heishui County, and everyone who has used it says it's good!

When he was about to take a bath, he saw Xu Baifeng talking to two maids who were mopping the floor by the window in the corridor.

Xu Baifeng held the child to breastfeed, sat on the chair gracefully and luxuriously, looked at the two maids lying on the ground and wiped the floor, and also talked and laughed.

However, after seeing Wang Lanling, Xu Baifeng quickly stood up and said, "Master, you are awake!" โ€

The place where Wang Lanling took a bath, of course, could not be too far away from the bedroom, this thing itself was for him, and the main and secondary should be clearly distinguished.

Seeing Xu Baifeng's appearance, Wang Lanling said: "It's almost time for the mountain god sacrifice, there is nothing to do at home for a while, you can rest for a few days, and leave the matter to Jin Ji and them." โ€

Xu Baifeng quickly said: "No, there are a lot of things to be busy these days, I have to kill pigs and sheep and distribute them to the farmers below, and I have to collect all the rent, I don't have anything else to do, it's good here." โ€

Xu Baifeng also thought about getting married, but now he can't find a good one, and he is even more afraid of losing this errand.

She is not the only one who has milk, and she is not the only one who can work, Xu Baifeng is worried that she will not be able to come for a few days, and there will be no place for her in the future.

Wang Lanling looked at the child in Xu Baifeng's arms, "The last time I saw it, it wasn't so old." โ€

Xu Baifeng said with a smile: "Children grow up fast, and they change after not seeing each other for a month. I'm holding it for a short time, and I'll be able to leave in two months, and I'll be weaned then, just in time to feed the little lady's baby. โ€

Wang Lanling didn't elaborate, "Well, I'll go take a bath, and you go and ask Jin Ji or Anu to come over." โ€

Xu Baifeng agreed, and he didn't recommend himself much, Wang Lanling is not a person who has that kind of idea.

Since Xu Baifeng arrived here, Wang Lanling has always been a well-behaved person, and there are many beautiful women in the family, Wang Lanling has not moved, and when getting along, everyone is naturally not easy to take the initiative.

is like a little sister in KTV, in front of serious people, she can't let go.

People also want face, you can't pretend to be a decent gentleman and sing seriously there, and people suddenly hug you from behind, right?

Wang Lanling is not only often a polite and dignified attitude outside, but also a bird-like at home, and does not have much thought about men and women.

Soon Wang Lanling entered the bath to take a bath, and Jin Ji soon wore light clothes into the warm pool to scrub Wang Lanling's body.

"Sir, is the water temperature right? Do you want to let the people in the boiler room heat it up a little more? Jin Ji felt that the water temperature was not enough, so she asked Wang Lanling, who was taking a bath with her eyes closed.

Wang Lanling didn't bother to speak, and said softly: "No, the water temperature is just right." โ€

Jin Ji didn't say anything anymore and waited quietly for Wang Lanling.

Next to the pool, there is also a maid with a clean blanket, and Kim Ji is now also a maรฎtre d'รฆ with a helper.

Wang Lanling was accustomed to this kind of corrupt life, and he knew all the more how difficult it was to liberate the slaves of those landlords and rich officials.

People's positions of power and luxury are built on the basis of hundreds or thousands, or even tens of thousands.

If we want to transfer more manpower to production and factories, we can only find ways to do it from the countryside and county towns, and we must not point the finger at the county and state capitals.

It is precisely because of this kind of extravagant enjoyment that Wang Lanling knows better how arrogant it is to let those high-ranking people lower their enjoyment of life.

People can find a way from the rest of the place, and the most important thing here is people, but the land and wealth are always concentrated in the hands of those who are high, and struggle is inevitable.

***

At the time of the mountain god festival, every household has to prepare some food, change into relatively clean clothes and go out for a walk.

For people who don't need to celebrate Widow's Day, the mountain god festival is mainly to count the money, food, and clothing at home, and have a number of things in the house, and know in advance whether they can have a good year.

Usually too busy to have time, this festival that most people agree on has become a good day.

In the city surrounded by the city walls of Heishui County, the most buildings are not high-rise buildings.

High-rise buildings are only available in large households, or on the streets of the city, and they are basically relatively affluent.

Many more live in densely populated neighborhoods.

These residential areas are connected by houses, forming a multitude of alleys and alleys, and the scattered houses are clustered together, and at a glance there are gray patches of buildings.

The roads here are narrow enough for people to pass, but carts and the like can be a lot more strenuous.

The distance between the houses is very small, and there are shops and other shops near the outer streets, but the closer you get to the middle of nowhere, or by the river, the dirtier it becomes.

In these buildings, there are more than 100,000 poor people.

This is mainly an ordinary two-story house, replaced by a three- or four-story building like a county town, where more people live.

The living standards of the people at the bottom of Heishui County are far lower than the lower limit known to Wang Lanling.

If there are more people, the security will be poor, there will be fewer job opportunities, and it will be more difficult to make money.

According to the normal course of history, when the population swells to a certain extent, it will cause a series of problems.

The appearance of Wang Lanling seems to have eased the conflict between the government and the people in Heishui County......

In residential areas west of Heishui County, families dump their accumulated overnight excrement in designated places every morning.

There are a very large number of civilians in the residential areas of the eastern, western, and northern parts of the city, and these people add up to more than 100,000 people.

To the south of the city are the places where the rich and businessmen, officials and gentlemen like to gather.

There were a large number of slums in every neighbourhood, and slums were gradually formed.

Those who lived outside the city walls were more spacious than these people, but they were always inferior in social status to those in the city.

For these people who have a lot of patience, they would rather raise chickens and ducks under the bed, and seven or eight people huddle into a bed close to the stove and the door, and they are also willing.

Being a neighbor with a city person and a neighbor from a country person is not the same social status.

Man is a fragile creature, who will shed tears because of a word from others, and will commit suicide because of a complaint from others.

Tens of thousands of people are crowded into a building that is about to explode, and it is easy to go wrong, so this is a place where officials and officials will not easily set foot in it.

The people who run this place are the ones who are selected from the regions, and they are the kind of people who speak well.

These people are not paid, and they still have to work, and they are responsible for what happens.

The feudal era is in some places with executive power beyond modern society.

Since Wang Lanling lifted the restrictions on manure, the daily flow of manure between urban and rural areas has become a problem.

No one wants to do anything that is not beneficial.

The field fertilizer in this area belongs to the kind of inferior things that are very unnutritious, and there is no comparison with the oil and water in several rich areas.

Originally, the enthusiasm of those rural dung men will gradually cool, and they will not be willing to come here to pull manure back, but the rise of biogas digesters has made these excrements a commodity again.

This is not enough, Wang Lanling knows very well how troublesome the accumulation of feces for these 300,000 people is compared to the biogas digester.

Wang Lanling walked in the alley, accompanied by Tian Yuanfang, Li Jianzhen and others, more than 20 people, and also carried guns and swords.

The person in charge of this area also followed behind Wang Lanling, waiting for Wang Lanling's inquiry.

When Wang Lanling passed by a dung truck, he said, "Aren't there any toilets here?" โ€

Xin Wuliang said: "If you return to your lordship, no, we are all in the tin bucket here, and we just pour it into the dung truck in the morning." โ€

Wang Lanling asked, "Then how do you clean the utensils?" โ€

Xin Wuliang explained: "Just pour it clean, the bucket is big enough to hold a lot." โ€

Wang Lanling continued to walk forward, and after getting away from the dung truck, he said, "What do the people here rely on to support their families? โ€

Xin Wuliang said: "There are many of these, papier-mรขchรฉ makers, matchmakers, horse stables, carpenters, sharpening scissors and repairing umbrellas, all kinds, and many of them also work for other people's farms." โ€

Most of Wang Lanling's subordinates are concentrated in the middle class in this county, and they are all people with a certain ability to live, and there are very few poor families in this area.

Even when they got married, the women who participated were mainly street women.

In this era, the people on the street were a class higher than the villagers.

There are three distinct classes: villagers, street people, and county people.

"Find a place where there is no one, repair a toilet, a simple dry toilet will do."

Wang Lanling understands the level here, and in the current era, it is still more suitable for dry toilets.

Flushing toilets require water facilities, drainage pipes, and a host of problems.

Xin Wuliang quickly said: "Yes, it's this money......"

Wang Lanling said: "The Environmental Sanitation Department will be responsible for building this, you can find an illegal place to use it, that's it." โ€

There is no compensation for demolition and relocation, there is no such thing in this era, the official family wants to use the land, what qualifications do the ordinary people have to resist?

Xin Wuliang could only agree, although he felt that it was tricky and troublesome, but this was to do things for Lord Wang, maybe he would be able to soar!

A toilet alone is not enough at all, Wang Lanling knows better than Dongfang Wei the disadvantages of not working, he needs to give this city of people a chance.

The best solution is to disperse the population and create sub-cities.

But this kind of thing is not easy to do, and if the city is divided, it will produce a series of official positions and privileges, and it will also require huge investment in the early stage.

The imperial court has been very strict with this over the years, and does not like to expand the territory and build new cities.

The people who raise animals for Wang Lanling are people from outside the city, or some people in the county who live in a large space.

The conscripts were mainly from the villages, and those who were poorer and more likely to be conscripted by the government.

These poor people in the city are the most difficult group, they cannot be recruited, and at the same time they are very poor, and they have little trust in the official family, and do not respond to the call.

Wang Lanling's several favors have sunk between the villagers and the city people, especially those on the street who have some family backgrounds have benefited the most, and have formed a small workshop-style livelihood with a family unit as a unit.

But the more than 200,000 people living in the county are also the objects of Wang Lanling's overall planning.

Unlike the hundreds of thousands of land-owning peasants in the villages and towns, the 200,000 or so poor people who lost their land are called workers.
