Chapter 302: Cheap and Selling
Jia Liang's explanation is reasonable and considerate of the people everywhere, which is really admirable. Even the Ministry of Works, who was a little disdainful of Jia Liang at the beginning, looked at Jia Liang again, and there was less contempt in his eyes.
I thought that this first-class general was just a gentleman, and he had nothing to do when he came out with this Laoshzi thing, but now it seems that he really wanted to do something good for the people as he said.
Li Shangshu really pondered what to do to improve efficiency, and how many toilets are needed in total for this full name.
As a result, he roughly calculated the original price of the toilet in his heart, and Jia Yu on the side spoke again.
"Your Majesty, in fact, this ceramic looks troublesome to burn paper, but in fact, the material is easy to find, from cost to wear, calculated together, even cheaper than wood. A wooden toilet bowl requires both manual chiseling and waste of materials. But the paper-burning toilet is different. Ceramics are shaped with clay, and there is no material waste in the first step.
"In addition, it takes a lot of work to make wood, and if you want the wood to not prickly you, you have to polish it repeatedly by hand. As a result, the construction period was delayed. There are still more than 300 prisoners in our infantry patrol camp. One more day is a day's expense, and it is also a pressure on the national treasury. ”
The sage had actually agreed to this material in his heart, so after hearing this, he asked the Ministry of Industry to start mass manufacturing, and asked the Ministry of Industry to find a place to experiment, and first make a complete set to come out and see.
As for where to experiment, this is a bit of a dilemma. You need a place where people live and you can't use the toilet consciously to see if the sewerage system is functioning properly.
Li Shangshu came out of the imperial study, still thinking about where to experiment, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jia Yu pass by him with a triumphant face.
Li Shangshu's heart moved, grabbed Jia Yu's arm, and said with a smile: "Jia Enhou go slowly." ”
Jia Liang looked back at Li Shangshu's smile, and suddenly shrank back: "What does Li Shangshu want to do, is it possible to settle accounts with me after the autumn?" I haven't offended you! ”
Li Shangshu hurriedly smiled less scary, and reassured Jia Yu: "Don't worry about Jia Enhou, it's not a big deal. His Majesty also said that he would find a place to experiment. I just remembered that since this proposal was made by you, and your Zhuangzi at home also installed such a set of things, you must be familiar with this flush toilet, right? ”
Jia Liang took two steps back, pulled his neck and shouted, "There is no door, don't pit me." Can that be the same? When the Zhuangzi was built, it was built together with the house, and it was easy to dig. Now you want to go to my house again to dig a pit in the east and a pit in the west, and you want me to live a life?
"Besides, you don't know that girl in my family, she is the most clean person, not to mention the soil on the ground on weekdays, even the hair is not allowed to be seen. If you go to my house to experiment, you won't be able to pretend to be good for a while, won't you want me to be nagged by her every day? ”
Li Shangshu smiled, pulled Jia Yu but didn't let go, raised his eyebrows and teased him: "But since this is your proposal, naturally you have to take the lead, right?" Otherwise, if you miss the day, the saint will blame you, and you won't be able to escape it. ”
Jia Liang grabbed Li Shangshu's wrist with his backhand, looked at him aggrievedly, and said with a bitter face: "Li Shangshu spared the official, this matter is really unacceptable." ”
Li Shangshu thought for a while and let go of his hand: "If you don't agree, then I can only ask my subordinates in the Ministry of Works." ”
Jia Liang tilted his head and thought about it, but dragged Li Shangshu and didn't let go: "You old boy, if you go and ask my brother, it's not a result?" ”
The two of them quarreled at the door of the imperial study, and it was impossible for the saint inside not to hear it. Sure enough, before he could fight for the ugliness of Mao Yin, Huang Gui came out, looked at Jia Yu with a smile and said: "Jia Enhou, Your Majesty has decreed that this experimental place will be chosen in your mansion." Since Jia Enhou cares about the common people, he won't even agree to this, right? ”
Li Shangshu looked at Jia Liang with a gloating face, Jia Liang looked MMP, but he was smiling in his heart, this desire to welcome and refuse is really useful.
Soon, people from the Ministry of Engineering came to measure the terrain and calculate the length of the pipeline. Jia Liang is very concerned about family affairs, for fear that these people will make a mistake and build crookedly, so he will follow before and after.
As a result, the Ministry of Industry's calculations were not wrong at all. Although Jia Liang admired the mathematics of the ancients as no worse than that of the West, he also knew that Huaxia was still weak in the area of scientific progress, and he did not feel that there was anything wrong with promoting Western studies.
On the contrary, during this period of time, Jia Liang's rapid calculation also made the people in the Ministry of Industry look at him differently, and even many people wanted to inquire with Jia Enhou about how he calculated so quickly.
Jia Liang was not stingy, and directly taught simple Arabic numerals to these people who came to the house, it may be difficult for children to learn this, but it is very simple for adults to learn.
Combined with simple arithmetic operations, no matter how complex the numbers are, they can be calculated immediately, which has further adjusted the construction period.
Soon, the General's Mansion began to be built, and batches of built copper pipes were sent in, and on the basis of Jia Liang's gave, in addition to the spiral interface, there was also the ancient wedge interface. The people in the Ministry of Engineering tried to install it, and the wedge joint was more secure, and in the absence of raw tape, it was more suitable for installation than the spiral joint.
Jia Liang once again admired the wisdom and greatness of the ancient people, and eliminated all the spiral interface pipes and replaced them with wedge-shaped interfaces of the Ministry of Industry. He also asked Xing Shuang to pay for the Ministry of Industry to buy another batch of wedge-shaped pipes, so as to replace the sewage pipes in his villa.
Under the intense work, the Ministry of Industry quickly completed all the pipe burial, and the toilet was installed even faster. The construction was completed by installing a toilet and a water tank in the room with a hole in the reserved room, and then placing a large water tank on the roof to receive water.
When Jia Liang pressed the toilet switch in full view of everyone, the rumbling sound of water came out of the water tank, a large amount of water washed on the toilet wall, and finally flowed into the sewer and disappeared, everyone cheered, and it was finally done!
Li Shangshu came to Jia Liang again, asked him to go to the Drunken Immortal Building and ordered the most expensive banquet, and thanked him in front of everyone in the Ministry of Industry.
Jia Liang held the cup with his face, thinking that this pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is really good. Not only do people install toilets and flush systems for free in their own homes, but they also want to be sought after as big heroes, well, yes, yes.
Li Shangshu was still there to express his gratitude, Jia Liang's heart was beautiful, and he thought that what would he do next time? If you have a flush toilet, do you still have to have running water?
