Chapter 39: Be Bolder?

Before you know it, it's April.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

……

Listening to the rhythmic sound, Chunyan stood under the sun at the end of April, only to feel warm and groggy by the warm sun. If she could lie on a cot, even if it was just a recliner, she suspected that she would probably fall asleep at once.

Of course, Chunyan never dares to sleep.

Although the king never cared about this, even if she fell asleep, she would laugh at most, but the stern housekeeper Han Shan would not let her go easily, and he would definitely scold her fiercely. So even if I want to squint for a while now, my little head is always little by little, and I am forced to serve by the side.

"A total of more than 800 yuan was fined in March, most of which were paid by outsiders, and only 13 people were fined in Luzhou......"

The letter from King Yu of Luzhou had been reading for ten minutes, and it was only at this time that Li Yuanjia paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve a small arc.

Li Lingkui, that kid, did a good job!

Although it is just like the advice of several elders, Li Lingkui almost copied his predecessor after he became the king of Yu and the assassin of Luzhou, completely ignoring political affairs, and indulging in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, but under Li Yuanjia's repeated advice, he stared at those new things in Luzhou City!

The sewers, the common latrines, and the garbage cans on the street are all things that Li Yuanjia explained that they must protect. And in addition, for the various "harsh policies" left by his brother, Li Lingkui even carried them forward.

Those who spit on the ground will be fined five cents!

Anyone who deliberately throws garbage into the sewer will be fined 10 cents!

Those who throw garbage and do not put it in the trash can will be fined ten cents!

Those who defecate in the open will be fined 20 cents and 10 times with a cane!

You must know that now a bucket of grain is only three or four cents, if you take a dip in the corner of the wall, and then be caught by the "city management", it is basically equivalent to half a month's food for a family; And with a casual poof, it is also more than ten pounds!

Who isn't afraid?

Who doesn't feel distressed?

So after a new king who was also idle every day, but took his brother's words as a holy decree, the streets of Luzhou, which were already quite pleasing to the eye, instantly became cleaner. Even the people of Luzhou, after experiencing the initial complaints, slowly discovered the benefits - Luzhou City is now full of garbage cans and public pits, as long as you pay attention and be diligent, you will not be punished at all.

And clean and beautiful environment, who doesn't like it?

Merely......

"It's a pity, it's all cheap!"

After reading the fourteen-page letter, Li Yuanjia looked up to the sky and sighed.

Those facilities are all spent on his money!

Otherwise, with people's awareness of hygiene these days, let them spend hundreds or thousands of cities to build latrines, place garbage cans or something, I'm afraid no one will be willing to do it.

Anyway, after reading the letter at this time, Li Yuanjia was a little distressed.

Although the small place in Luzhou is anxious, talents and resources are scarce, but it is far away from Chang'an, the emperor is far away, and the prince is the local overlord, as long as he is not too out of line, he can transform a city at will, and if he can stay for more than ten years......

Squinting his eyes slightly, while gently shaking the recliner under his body, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but imagine this possibility.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, Li Yuanjia simply stood up: "Spring smoke, prepare charcoal and letter paper for me"

"Yes, King!"

A spirit, Chunyan's sleepiness was suddenly dispelled by this sentence, and he was busy preparing the table, chair, pen and ink for Li Yuanjia, and then took out the king's special letter paper - a kind of paper with a faint blue-green color and a rather hard texture. There are more than 1,000 sheets of this kind of paper in total, which is the product of Wang Pu's experiment, although it is not suitable for brushes because of its strong water absorption, but because of its hard texture, it is very suitable for willow charcoal.

Li Yuanjia liked this color very much, and simply made them his own special stationery.

After everything was ready, Li Yuanjia picked up a willow branch charcoal pen that Che Mu had carefully made for him, groaned slightly, and began to write on this piece of blue-green hard paper.

On a whim, he wanted his younger brother to continue to transform the city of Luzhou according to his own ideas and make it a perfect Zhenguan town in his heart.

Of course, building a "healthy and civilized city" is certainly not such a simple matter.

In the 21st century, many Chinese can't change their habits of spitting and littering, let alone the Zhenguan period more than a thousand years ago. Not to mention that there is still an extreme lack of all kinds of health knowledge in these years, and the people are basically unenlightened......

Fortunately, in these years, there is no need to rely on popular science, education or all kinds of propaganda, sticks and fines will make a fool quickly learn what to do and what not to do. For example, if you defecate in the open on a street corner by the wall, as long as you are fined and beaten every time you are caught, this kind of thing will soon disappear.

And just as fortunately, Luzhou is really a small city.

Or in Li Yuanjia's eyes, it is just a town with walls. There are few people in the city, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to build some toilets and set up some garbage cans, even if you build a sewer in the city, it won't hurt him. Why don't you try to change to a big city like Chang'an or Luoyang? Killing Li Yuanjia will not pay a penny.

And there is another advantage to having fewer people in the city, that is, it is easy to manage, even if many people are dissatisfied because of fines or something, after all, there are dozens of hundreds of people, Li Yuanjia is not afraid of what storms they will set off - if you are really unconvinced, you can just catch it and beat it hard.

So as long as there is a money to invest, plus a tough history of thorns, why can't you give it a try?

What's more, the money for the construction was all paid by him, but the money from the fine was used to maintain these latrines and garbage cans, and hired people to clean and clean them every day, and they were not diverted by Li Yuanjia or Li Lingkui for personal use......

While thinking, Li Yuanjia wrote the letterhead.

Merely......

"Huh? Hey?! ”

was writing some ideas for maintaining a hygienic environment, and Li Yuanjia seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and was suddenly stunned. After a few moments, his eyes gradually came to life, and his mouth trembled a few times at the same time!

"Why? Why didn't I think of it in the first two years?! ”

"Tear up!"

After a crisp voice, the letter that had just been written on the table was torn into four pieces by Li Yuanjia!

If it is just to build a Zhenguan health city in his mind, I believe that with these things, plus some supporting "policies" left for Li Lingkui, as long as King Yu is still the assassin of Luzhou, there should not be too much of a problem. Li Yuanjia knows this younger brother of his very well, and he will never discount his orders in any way.

But if that's all there is to it, it's too boring.

Since he could continue to control the small city through his younger brother, at least he could implement something without interfering in Luzhou's political affairs, why couldn't he be bolder?

……

I barely slept all night yesterday, and I was dizzy when I wrote today, and I couldn't read the words clearly.

Sorry, everyone, I'll check this chapter again tomorrow.
