The beggars' follow-up plan is about feces.

Historically, the farming people have attached great importance to dung, and there are countless relevant records: "The dung of people and animals and the ash of the stove are useless, and as soon as they enter the field, they will be turned into cloth and silk." ”

The well-developed planting industry in the Jiangnan region also gave birth to the birth of the primitive urban and rural manure collection system.

As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou had special personnel to collect and transport urban human feces. Hangzhou's "hukou is complicated, the streets and alleys are small people's homes, there are no pit toilets, only toilets are used, and there are people who come out of dung every day, which is called 'tilting their feet'...... There are also boats carrying garbage and dung, which are carried away in groups. ”

...... This is the Song Dynasty, and there were already primitive dung dealers "dung masters" and primitive express "dung boats".

By the Ming Dynasty, the collection and transportation of manure in Hangzhou had been greatly improved. "Those who carry dung burdens empty the toilet for other women's women every day, and they don't have the slightest hatred, but only hate the lack of goods in the toilet", and "there are dung pits (public toilets) on the side of the road" in the city. Such dung cellars were often rented to the rich peasants in the countryside, who regarded them as "fundamentals".

......

Lu Cheng and Zhou Tong's idea of fighting was on this.

At this time period, the spontaneous dung industry of the people has evolved to the top, and then in the Qing Dynasty, guilds will be produced in the city one after another.

With guilds, there are large dealers, and this situation will continue until the Republic of China. At that time, Yu Deshun, the famous owner of the dung factory, owned 1,500 acres of fertile land, had more than 100 properties in the capital, and had deposits in banks from various countries......

The Beiping municipal government wanted to ban the "dung tyrants" at that time, but they were surrounded by 1,500 dung men wielding dung spoons...... Nothing. It was not until the founding of New China that these gangs were smashed by the iron fist of the dictatorship.

The fecal business and the beggar gang are so compatible, not only can they resettle a large number of displaced people, but also improve urban environmental sanitation to provide political achievements for the government, and there are profits in the middle, so that Lu Cheng discussed the implementation plan with Zhou Tong as soon as he finished rectifying the beggar gang.

Now that the conditions are ripe, the beggars have begun to mobilize manpower to promote this "comprehensive fertilizer utilization" project when the "clean street" operation is progressing smoothly.

First of all, it is better to salute before to soldier.

All the "public toilets" along the street began to be forcibly bought by the beggars. Those "big pit masters", and even the "second pit masters" who changed hands and contracted them, if they didn't comply, they would be beaten violently.

In fact, the ownership of these public toilets was originally owned by the government, and everyone was fighting over the original "lease contract". As for the county government? The county government only cares about whether the monthly rent has arrived, and does not ask about the rest.

As a result, the "pit masters" from all walks of life, who were weak and weak, could only wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths and sell the deed paper in their hands to the beggars with hatred.

......

Next up is "Channels".

The real gentry would not meddle in such a stinking business. Grain, silk, cloth and other high-ranking businesses are the places where the gentry gather, and as for the dung industry, if any official is ridiculed by his colleagues, he will be ashamed to death. The business involved in the gentry class is usually a business that requires strong connections and large sums of liquidity, and pawnshops have a bad reputation, but the lucrative industry is already the bottom line of the gentry.

The existing "fertilizer" purchase and sales channels in Hangzhou are very scattered and unplanned. The sites were formed over the years in the original competition, and were largely divided by street and lane. And the owners of these channels, like the later brothers who fought in the vegetable markets, stations, and wholesale markets, in the 17th century, these people were called ruffian bullies, street tigers, and bootbreakers.

Now the biggest bully is on the scene.

The first is outside the city. There is a leeward field at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, which has been bought by the beggars and transformed into a dung dump. There is a collapsed Vedic temple on this field, so the dung field is called Veda Field.

Lately, all dung boats that came out of the city had begun to be intercepted on the moat—the cargo on board had to be unloaded to the Vedic field.

The unloading is the beginning: these vessels, which hold the channels for "fertilizer to the countryside", are important resources that cannot be let go. All the ships were then registered one by one, the owners of the ships were reorganized, and the silver of the white shares was also stuffed into the hands, which was called forced shares.

The newly formed "Fertilizer Company", after surveying the usual areas of activity of these vessels, began to divide each ship into zones. From now on, these dung boats can only go to the fixed area of Hangzhou City to collect manure, and then come to Weituo to unload the goods, and then the dung ships will receive the fertilizer fermented with the temperature control technology of later generations in Weituo, and then pull it to the designated villages for sale.

As for the dung tyrants in the city, after the beggars released the wind at the beginning, everyone was ready to see where the wind was coming first.

However, a few days later, Li Xiucai died in a dung pit on the side of the road.

Li Xiucai is a person who takes over lawsuits on weekdays, puts money in print, buys and sells children, and occupies the dung road, in short, the business scope is very wide, and the boot-breaking party is also a little famous in the south of the city.

When the rumor that the beggar gang wanted to "control" the dung tracts everywhere came out, Li Xiucai was not used to lawsuits on weekdays, and his brain was instantly opened, so he began to secretly run around in the past few days, planning to contact a group of "dung friends" to go to the government to write a book, and set up a "dung shop" before the beggar gang, and first gain a foothold in law.

As a result, Li Xiucai died, in a dung pit not far from his home.

Li Xiucai inserted vertically into the pit in the standard "upside-down onion" posture, and after the Qiantang County appraisal was completed, he said that this was a "stumbling into the pit".

As for how Li Xiucai surpassed Guo Jingjing's waist and abdomen strength, jumped up like a fish in the air, and then turned around and inserted vertically into the dung pit only a few tens of centimeters high from several sides, this is unknown - maybe Li Xiucai is a lover of the half-meter platform diving, or maybe he is a hidden descendant of ancient martial arts.

In short, Li Xiucai's ambition in the south of the city was unpaid and he fell into the pit, and his friends in the torture room also helped him identify the case, and his family members said that they were emotionally stable.

After Li Xiucai in the south of the city, it is Hei Tai Sui in the north of the city.

Hei Tai Sui is a tyrant of the Wulin Gate in the north of the city, and his subordinates have twenty or thirty sturdy skins, who gather gambling and take advantage of the water on weekdays, set up cards to cross the water, and also do "fighting" business, in short, they are all good men and women.

Therefore, there are always men in the world. When the heroes from all walks of life in Beicheng died down and the rivers and lakes were full of thousands of horses, Hei Tai Sui learned that this gang of bastards wanted to rob the dung on his territory, so he ordered all the people and horses on the same day, gathered more than 60 elites who had seen blood, and entered the small school field.

The small school field is in the Wulin Gate to repay the favor, in the middle of the two squares of Baohe, there were soldiers stationed in the early years, and now it has long been abandoned, and the weeds are everywhere, which is the common hall of the two squares of the beggars.

In Hei Tai Sui's calculations, his strength is advantageous - the fighting men in the mouth of the beggar gang can break the sky if there are thirty or forty on weekdays, as for those homeless people who drink vegetable paste and hang their lives, they are all war scum, Hei Tai Sui did not count this generation as a person.

Then Hei Tai Sui died.

Every day, the war scum who used animals to go into the water, multigrain rice and boiled radish to feed three meals, roared wildly and raised the bamboo pole and rushed up, and Hei Tai Sui and they instantly fell into the vast sea of the people's war.

Not to mention that the overall quality of the beggars is declining now: these homeless people who are accustomed to fighting for water and land in the countryside are not as measured as the city people at all, and their quality is too poor - when Hei Taisui was finally pulled out, he was no longer human......

Hei Tai Sui, the first good man in Wulinmen, paid a heavy price in order to help the neighbors empty the toilet.

......

The big brothers on the road can see clearly: I'm afraid that it won't be possible if I don't admit it now, and it's better to sell the dung for two dollars and put it in my pocket. There is no way, the collusion with the government and all kinds of rogue tricks that these people rely on weekdays to bully ordinary people works, and they can't be used when they encounter a beggar gang.

The beggar gang is now operating as a company, and the yamen of one government and two counties do not talk about official affairs, but only talk about personal relationships, and Zhou Tong is also an unprecedented top filial piety household. In later generations, how did those pharmaceutical companies settle the nurses, chief deans and directors in the hospital, and how did Zhou Tong settle the officials at all levels.

As for those Jianghu methods, there is no need to mention them: Li Xiucai and Hei Taisui couldn't even see Zhou Tuantou's face, so they were killed by two soft and hard methods.

Since then, the beggar gang's plan to acquire the city's manure has been carried out smoothly, and Zhou Tong's promise to the government has also begun to implement the performance project.

After unifying the manure channels in the city, in fact, anyone who has done instant noodles and drinks wholesale in later generations knows very well how to distribute the points, divide the area, and arrange sales representatives to maintain the market.

Lu Cheng, a channel master who has sold Yunbi and Master Geng, is naturally relaxed and happy in this regard. There is now a huge plan of the area in the helm of the beggars, and the number of toilets in every manure pit and every street is carefully marked. Whether it is the courier brother carrying the dung bucket on his back or the area manager rowing the dung boat, they are now a chess piece on the map.

At the same time, the first batch of 50 aqua privies was erected. There are the previous open-air manure pit reconstructions, and there are also new sites - one of the political achievements that Zhou promised someone.

The second achievement is the garbage heap.

Including the collection and burial of corpses, the disposal of municipal garbage, and the public welfare undertakings of night watch, which were originally contracted by the beggars half-dead there; Nowadays, under the guidance of the traverser, a large number of displaced people who have been raised will participate in the work of cleaning up urban garbage with full energy.

It's the 17th century, and the cities of London and Paris built on dung heaps don't care about it, in fact, the cities of the northern region, including the capital, and abroad are also half a pound or two.

The southern cities of Hangzhou are doing better, but only to a lesser extent: huge piles of garbage are everywhere in the city, and the government's poor administrative capacity is the culprit behind the frequent plagues everywhere.

And this garbage is essentially fertilizer – in the 17th century there was no oil and plastic that could not be degraded, and the garbage heaps in the cities, except for the dirt, were some organic matter. You know, this is an era when firewood and grass need to be bought for money, cloth is used to hold the soles of shoes, and garbage heaps, in the eyes of travelers, are more like manure heaps of rotten soil.

In fact, the Vedor field, which was equipped with a temperature probe outside the city, was already hungry and thirsty.
