Chapter 265: Do Big Things

Li Xiao leisurely drank a cup of chilled bayberry soup, and said in his heart that if the holiday villa does not have a swimming pool, it can still be called a holiday villa, can it still be regarded as a high-end?

The swimming pool is standard, and it is built to a high standard, with marble tiles underneath, and there is a special division between shallow and deep water areas, and even swimming rings.

Even the water in the pool is pumped from the ground with a well truck, and it will be replaced with new pool water every night, plus these small thatched-roof pergolas on the edge of the pool, and the deck chairs under the shed, so that you can feel the feeling of a horse without leaving home.

It's a pity that in this era, men and women are on defense, and they can't let the maids at home wear bikinis to play in the water, otherwise it will be more interesting. The hateful thing is that this good thing, since it was discovered by the eldest grandson Wuji, this old boy has come to swim every day, and it seems to have become his family.

Not only do I come every day, but now Chu Suiliang, Han Ming, Yu Zhining and other retired old cadres are also staying here all day long, a lot of age, and they still soak in the swimming pool every day, and they are not afraid of rheumatoid arthritis.

"No problem, I'll give the drawing of the swimming pool to the master when I go back, and the master can find a craftsman to build one himself, it's actually very simple, and it doesn't cost a few dollars."

"Simple is simple, but I really didn't think about building a bath outside before."

"It's called a swimming pool, not a bath." As soon as the tall pool was called a bath, this grade immediately dropped several gears, and Li Xiao couldn't help but correct it.

"Don't they all mean the same thing?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically.

Li Xiao looked at him, forget it, don't worry about a former prime minister of the empire who is full of fat.

Chu Suiliang sat under the shed to write, Li Xiao admired him very much, he was worthy of being one of the four great calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, and he was sitting by the pool in the four-legged shorts he invented and improved, but after people swam around, he wrote there naked.

However, Li Xiao didn't stop it, but was very happy that Brother Chu was writing and painting here. Brother Chu's words are very valuable, many people ask Lao Chu to write an epitaph for their old father or something, and there are not many words to write an article, but they often charge hundreds of dollars, and some even bid for thousands of dollars.

But Lao Chu still has to choose, if the other party has a bit of a prestigious identity, he will write it, otherwise, he won't accept it if he has money.

"Xiangrui, how did you grow this wheat to produce five stones per mu?"

It's five stones and two buckets. Yu Zhining corrected.

Li Xiao smiled, "Without it, plant well." As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice are born to make holes. ”

"That's all?"

"No, I don't think your wheat seeds are anything special, right?"

A few old cadres are not easy to fool.

"Carefully selected seeds, each one is the best seed, to ensure that the germination rate is at least 90%. In addition, this land has been deeply cultivated with a Quyuan plow, plus a lot of manure from the Taifu Temple, and a lot of human manure juice has been poured in the middle period, and the water is sufficient and has not been lacking, of course, it is also highly productive. ”

Li Xiao told them about his method of selecting wheat seeds, when the wheat in the wheat field is ripe, he does not harvest it first, but asks people to go to the field to directly pick the wheat seeds. Take only one of the best ears of wheat for a handful of wheat, and then select the fullest wheat from the grains that have been taken off from these ears of wheat to seed it.

Not to mention the follow-up and the guarantee of deep ploughing and sufficient fertilizer and sufficient water.

"How do you feel that farming has become so easy in your hands?" Han Ying sighed.

"Farming is simple, how can it be so complicated, to increase the yield, it is nothing more than to select good seeds, deep plough the land, enough water and fertilizer!" Li Xiao said with a pretending face.

Chu Suiliang put down the pen in his hand, "Human dung juice can also fertilize the field?" ”

There are fewer fields of human manure fertilizer, and dry manure is generally used, and the manure drying method is adopted.

"Of course, you can, as long as the manure juice is treated, and then diluted with water and poured into the field, especially suitable for top dressing in the middle of wheat and rice, which can make the wheat and rice grow better and ensure fertilizer for increasing yield."

Whether animal manure or human manure, it is a natural organic fertilizer, but it needs to be fermented first, otherwise it is directly poured into the ground, which is easy to burn roots and seedlings.

The Tang people now use very little manure, and Li Xiaodu has already discovered a business opportunity here. You must know that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the group of dung workers who controlled the cleaning of manure and urine in various cities were all rich people.

Chang'an has a full 480,000 soldiers and civilians, and there are many personalities, and they are all gathered together. If you pay a little money, you can build some public toilets for free in the streets, at the city gates and in the markets, and then pull the manure to the suburban fields, which is a high-quality fertilizer that can greatly increase production.

Even the feces and urine in the toilets at residents' homes can be cleaned up regularly for free, and they can get manure for free.

In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the towns did not do this, and even many people fought for the territory and grabbed the dung and urine.

"Okay, how did you come up with the idea of building a public toilet?" The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, didn't you see me eating watermelon, what kind of and urine are you talking about at this time, can you sweep the fun?

"I didn't say I was going to build, I meant we'd build together!" Li Xiao continued to drink the chilled bayberry soup, and drank the chilled sour plum soup in the summer, which was really refreshing, refreshing to the bottom of his heart.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't eat it anymore, so he threw the remaining half of the watermelon, and half of the watermelon flew into the distance in a beautiful parabola, snap.

Almost thrown in the trash.

"Why is the old man messing around with you?" The eldest grandson Wuji said dissatisfiedly.

"Taishi's accuracy is a little bad." Li Xiao ruthlessly pointed out the piece of melon skin that the eldest grandson didn't throw in just now, and then explained, "Taishi, you think so, now that Chang'an has more and more people, and there are more horses and mules coming in and out every day, right?" The streets of Chang'an are full of people, and everyone has three urgencies, not to mention horses and mules. There are very few toilets on Chang'an Street, there are often long queues, and there are few people to clean up, which is very dirty, feces and urine are flowing sideways, and flies are flying around. ”

"What is Chang'an? That's the capital of my Datang, so many Hu merchants and envoys come every year, and they are very admired when they see this majestic Chang'an, but because of the dirty latrine, their impression of my Datang is greatly reduced, isn't it a pity? ”

"As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, especially a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, I think we all have a deep responsibility, and we have to make a contribution to the beauty of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Although I don't have much money, I am willing to spend some money to build latrines for the people of Chang'an and foreign officials and businessmen to use for free. ”

Chu Suiliang snorted, ruthlessly exposing Li Xiao's ulterior motives, "Don't listen to his nonsense, this kid has always been unprofitable, and there must be something to follow." ”

Yu Zhining stroked his beard and asked, "San Lang Mo didn't have the idea of beating Chang'an manure?" ”

"You are doubting my character and my loyalty to the empire, I am really thinking about the beauty and health of the imperial capital Chang'an, and I am willing to contribute my meager strength, are you not willing to contribute to make Chang'an more beautiful?"

"If you have something to say, let it go quickly, and talk about people." The eldest grandson Wuji interrupted Li Xiao very unceremoniously.

Li Xiao spread his hands, "I want you to let the old ministers of the empire also give full play to their spare heat, just give some money, and you don't have to worry about management, I can come here." It doesn't cost a lot of money, isn't it just to build more public toilets on official roads and post stations in Chang'an and outside the city, so how much money does it cost? ”

"But the effect is needless to say, Chang'an is cleaner and more beautiful, hundreds of people and businessmen will forget that this is the convenience and cleanliness that you have brought them?"

"What is this? That's fame. Li Xiao was heartbroken.

The eldest grandson Wuji had a dark face, "The old man still uses this and urine to invite fame?" ”

"What is the name of the invitation, that is to do practical things. It is better to do something practical for the people. Don't take the good as a small thing, this repair of the latrine is also a real and good thing. It is convenient for thousands of people, and it is a clean and brilliant imperial capital. ”

Chu Suiliang, hehe.

"After all, we pay to repair the latrines, and then you collect manure and urine to fertilize the fields?"

"How can you think of me like that, you guys got my name, I'm just a little dung. Besides, I also have to manage it, I have to arrange someone to be responsible for cleaning it, I have to buy a carriage and a horse to transport manure and urine out of the city, labor costs money, this carriage and horse cost money, and the cost is a lot. ”

Yu Zhining looked at Li Xiao, "You kid really want to do this?" ”

"It's a good thing, a good thing for you and me, why not do it?"

Eldest Sun Wuji snorted, "Since it's a good thing you came up with, then you can do it yourself, why are you pulling a few of us old immortals?" ”

"Let's do good things together."

"I knew that Lao Tzu wouldn't have come to your bath to take a bath, didn't I just take a few baths, and it ended up on my head." The eldest grandson Wuji said dissatisfied. "Tell me, how much does it cost?"

"What do you mean by slander, am I that kind of person? This is a good deed to do good deeds, and a good deed to facilitate thousands of people and businessmen in Chang'an. It's going to be spent, but it's not going into my pocket. Specifically, I make a plan, how many public toilets will be repaired, how to repair them, how to maintain and manage them after repair, there will be specific regulations, and then how much is the budget, everyone pays for it, and after completion, more will be refunded and less compensated, what do you say? ”

Han Ying shook his head.

"Such a trivial matter, you just do it, can't we still believe you?" Then he changed his words, "This is a public toilet, but you can't ignore this feces and urine, you must deal with it well." You can go back and talk to the stewards of our houses about how to make this manure into fertilizer that can be poured into the fields, and if you want to get it better, you can't just get the feces and urine from the toilet outside the city. ”

This old fox, Li Xiao originally thought that they only wanted a name, and then this little profit was kept for himself, and he was unwilling to let go of this mosquito leg.

"Okay, I'll do it when I get back, and I promise to do it."

Chang'an repairs public toilets, this kind of good thing that can not only get a good reputation, but also get fertilizer profits, Li Xiao feels that there is really nothing to care about, of course this kind of good thing can't be let go.
