Chapter 1328: Dispatch of troops

After the reorganization of the cabinet, the new problem faced by the cabinet is neither money nor personnel changes, but the problem of disposing of municipal garbage.

In the past, domestic garbage would be littered at will, and there were mountains of domestic garbage and construction wood waste everywhere on street corners, alleys, riversides, etc.

After Li Zhongyi came to power, he paid close attention to the city's public security and sanitation work, and in addition to the police temple, he also set up an agency responsible for urban sanitation - the Street Division.

The Street Division has thousands of sanitation workers dedicated to cleaning and transporting urban household or construction waste that cannot be recycled.

According to Lee's request, the manure collected by the sub-district department from each household should be collected and processed at a special manure factory in the suburbs of Gyeonggi.

Part of the manure was used to make saltpeter for artillery, and most of it was handed over to the official farmers under Li Zhongyi's name, so that they could collect it and use it to fertilize the fields.

In the past, after years of warlord warfare, a lot of landless and displaced people gathered in Kaifeng City.

Li Zhongyi sent people to select strong men from among the homeless people to serve as sanitation workers under the street department, not only to manage food, but also to pay wages.

After coming and going like this, the sanitation workers of state-owned enterprises have actually become fragrant and sweet, and many locals are rushing to do it.

In fact, among the garbage in Kaifeng City, the amount of garbage eaten is extremely rare. Anything that can be eaten, as long as it is thrown away, most of it will be picked up by beggars immediately and eaten.

As for garbage such as building timber and limestone, there are also special people who pay a little money to buy this kind of garbage. After all, families who don't have money also need to repair their houses and renovate their home facilities.

The construction waste that no one really wants will be collected by the people of the street department and sent to the landfill in the suburbs for landfilling.

The main waste in the city is manure, which can only fertilize the fields, and now the waste is also being used.

However, although some people specialize in collecting feces, there are still many people who ignore the ban and dump the feces directly into the Bianhe River.

After Li Zhongyi came to power, he always warned his ministers that they should pay attention to the law in carrying out all kinds of government affairs.

Therefore, the decree on the punishment of indiscriminate dumping of excrement was submitted to the Cabinet, which has the power to draft legislation.

In the cabinet, there is a lot of controversy about whether to impose fines, arrest and lock up, or beat up litter.

Li Qiong is inclined to fines, and the institution that imposes fines can be set as the Street Division or the Police Temple.

It's just that as for the amount of fines, Li Qiong believes that the people are still very poor, and most of them are illiterate, so it is not appropriate to fine more.

Kong Kun believes that the allusion to the horse bones of Qianjin City, in turn, shows that the troubled times must be re-enacted. He advocated severe punishment, and the starting point was to punish five sentences.

If someone can't afford to pay the fine, he has to work for the government for free, earn enough money, and then regain his freedom.

Liu Jinshan advocated that it is necessary not only to impose fines, but also to designate responsibility areas for each household, that is, to punish whoever has garbage in their area of responsibility.

As for Zhe Congruan, he has no opinion at all, after all, after so many years, the thing he knows best is to fight.

Although Li Zhongyi has not publicly expressed his position, his true attitude is to punish him with a clear banner, and the Police Administration Temple will be specifically responsible.

After all, relying on the grass people to keep an eye on themselves, although they also mobilized the masses and carried out mass control and mass defense, the deterrent effect was slightly insufficient.

Today's police temple has a team of nearly 10,000 people, and patrol police shops are all over the streets and alleys.

Li Zhongyi once went to Lijiapo, and the cleanliness of the streets of Lijiapo is even better than that of Japan.

If you throw a small cigarette butt in Lijiapo, as long as you are caught, you will be fined S$300, which is about more than 1,500 soft sister coins.

If you are caught littering the second time, there will be a mandatory labor reform in a public place. If he refuses to do so, he is likely to be sentenced to flogging by the court.

In troubled times, Lijiapo, known as the "fine city", is indeed very clean, and the streets and alleys are almost spotless.

In addition to littering the Bianhe River, most of the citizens of Kaifeng still stay at the level of drinking raw water.

If the water of the Bianhe River polluted by garbage such as feces is not boiled and drunk, there must be a large number of pathogenic bacteria.

Drinking boiled water has always been advocated by Li Zhongyi. However, there are two problems at present, one is the public's perception of hygiene, and the other is the cost of boiling water.

Although Li Zhongyi invented honeycomb coal and coal stoves, the relatively high cost still limited the promotion and popularity of honeycomb coal.

At present, a load of firewood in Kaifeng City is about ten cents and can be burned for five days. However, one honeycomb coal costs five cents, and the cost gap is too large, so that only high-ranking officials or wealthy households can afford to use honeycomb coal.

The cabinet quarreled for several days over the issue of fines for garbage, and the four ministers shared four opinions, and in the end, it was inevitably submitted to Li Zhongyi.

When Li Zhongyi convened the Xianggui to discuss, he said with a smile: "The punishment is light, no one cares, including me." The penalty is heavy, although some people will suffer because they are not familiar with the rules, but in the long run, it is better to focus on the penalty. ”

In the end, Li Zhongyi made a final decision and set the rules for heavy punishment. As long as the act of littering casually, the first fine is ten yuan. If he was caught again, in addition to doubling the fine, he had to work for the government for free for three months.

Between putting prisoners in prison and re-education through labor, Li Zhongyi is particularly fond of re-education through labor.

Putting people in prison has almost no benefit except for giving the jailers more opportunities to collect black money.

On the contrary, it is possible to achieve a win-win situation by sending prisoners with minor sentences to labor reform. How to choose, don't ask for self-explanatory!

After the duty, Zhecongruan, as in the past, took a carriage back to Cidi in the capital.

The Zhe family originally bought a mansion in the capital, but after Zhe Congruan gave up the foundation of Shengzhou, Li Zhongyi was in a good mood and rewarded another mansion to the Zhe family.

Since it was a gift, Zhe Congruan naturally wanted to live in a new house to show his gratitude for Heavenly Grace.

"Prime minister, Da Lang is here, and he has been waiting in the study for a long time." As soon as the chief butler got off the carriage from Ruan, he reported that the prince was coming.

Zhe Congruan lived in the pavilion before, and it was inconvenient for Zhe Yukou to find it, and the grandfather and grandson never met.

Back in the inner courtyard, after folding into a loose shirt, he walked to the inner study.

As soon as Zhe Yukou saw Zhe Congruan, he quickly got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "Grandson knocks on grandfather." ”

Zhi Congruan waved his hand and said, "We are our own people, there is no need to be too formal, get up and sit." ”

When Zhi Yukou sat on the chair in front of him, Zhi Congruan asked him with a smile: "Is the girl okay over there?" ”

Zhe Yukou reported in detail, and the various details of the grandson of the Zhe family's thriving, Zhe Congruan nodded while listening, but did not interject.

After Zhe Yukou finished his introduction, Zhe Congruan asked him: "Other people's opinions, and put them aside first." What do you think, what is Li Zhongyi's attitude towards Brother Xing? ”

"Don't hide it from my grandfather, in the opinion of my grandson, the current emperor's attitude towards his sons is probably the same."

Zhe Yukou has been staying in the capital, and he has been secretly paying attention to Li Zhongyi's attitude towards his sons, so Zhe Congruan attaches great importance to his opinion.

"Well, the emperor has not yet had a son-in-law, and the education of several concubines is the same, and they are not separated from each other, obviously to establish a virtuous person or a successor." Zhe Congruan saw very clearly that Li Zhongyi probably had little interest in Li Yan.

With the extreme expansion of Li Zhongyi's power, the important matter of choosing a successor has become more and more valued by important ministers.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, people have no long-term concerns, but there must be near-term worries!

The real power of the so-called Saga gate valve lies in the fact that after reading through history, you can always find the rules and choose the most suitable long-term plan.

To put it simply, when Li Zhongyi was in power, the family gate lords had no way to take the land restriction order and the wide tax order.

However, they can achieve the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the gate valve by edifying Li Zhongyi's successor.

For example, during the reign of Cao Mengde, he always attached great importance to the selection of talents from the Hanmen and Shu tribes.

After Cao Pi came to power, Chen Qun instigated a three-inch incorruptible tongue, which made Cao Pi confused, and actually changed to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

In the end, the Sima clan replaced the Cao clan's regime, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was actually inextricably linked.

As a matter of fact, although Li Zhongyi has not explicitly stated that he has established a successor, a long-term manager, or a virtuous person, the establishment of a secret reserve system alone can very well illustrate his tendencies.

"Hehe, Kong Yushan has wanted to be an emperor for a while." Zhe Congruan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "A group of ministers in the Hanlin Academy are already looking forward to it. ”

Today, Li Zhongyi's eldest son, Li Jiyi, is more than ten years old, but Li Zhongyi has never designated a Confucian teacher for him.

Others can't see the twists and turns clearly, but Zhe Congruan can see it very clearly, Li Zhongyi is obviously not interested in the old-fashioned set of Confucianism.

Li Zhongyi would rather teach his sons himself than hand them over to the so-called erudite Confucians, probably because he was worried about repeating Cao Pi's mistakes, right?

"I joined the cabinet, although it has not been for a long time, but I can also understand the thoughts of today. The so-called land restriction order, as well as the tax order, I am afraid that it is a lifelong insistence on this. He turned from Ruan to the front, and said, "You tell the eldest girl that today is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and at this juncture, whoever dares to mention the matter of establishing the prince will definitely be unlucky." ”

"Grandfather, grandson...... Grandson, I want to go to the front line and get a knighthood back. ”

Zhe Yukou is also an understanding person, and the title left by Zhe from Ruan has nothing to do with him, his adopted son, and he must go to the battlefield to earn a title back.

The decree that no knighthood will be awarded without military merit has been strictly enforced, and there has never been an exception.

The General Staff Department has been secretly dispatching troops, and seeing that the unification war of the Western Shu, the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wuyue is about to start in full swing, it is inevitable that the Imperial Kou will also be moved.

Fame, but take it right away!

Good man, aim for the field!

PS: Now it's 572 monthly passes, more than 592, and there must be at least one more!
