That night, after sending Wu Yong away, the ten middle attendants gathered together to discuss. After repeated calculations, even if you don't count the money from selling fecal water, as long as 10,000 people go to the toilet every day, they will have an income of more than 3 million yuan a year.

What's more, with their status, they don't have to pay a penny for the cost of building a toilet at all, and when it is built, they will sit and wait to collect the money, this is a golden rooster that will lay eggs!

Don't look at the fact that they have been forcibly seized for many years and occupy a lot of land, but they have an annual income of one million, and it would be good to have two or three hundred thousand dollars left in addition to daily expenses.

Now that there is such a good thing as gold falling from heaven, how can they not be mad? Hou Lan first suggested: "Why don't we increase the cost of going to the toilet to two dollars at a time, so that each of us can get a little more!" Zhao Zhong hesitated: "This is not good, I am afraid that there will be fewer people who will go to the toilet by then." Besides, can't we sell it for money? Hou Lan sneered: "The dung water can be sold for a few dollars, whether you want it or not, it's not necessarily!" Wang Fu immediately sneered and said: "Hehe, isn't this easy to do, after we build the toilet, let the city guards inspect every day, catch a person who does not go to the toilet, and give him a crime of immorality, and a fine of 100." Come down like this a few times to see if any of them dares to defecate in the open. After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Feng Yi, who has always been regarded as a transparent person, also suggested in a timely manner: "I think it can be like this, send the notice of rectifying open defecation to each pawn, send someone to check it every half month, and if there are unqualified, they will be directly dismissed." ”

"Okay, let's do it! Let's hurry up and build the toilet first, every day of delay is a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it hurts to think about it. So they found Liu Hong, the son of heaven, together, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids want to build some toilets in Luoyang City to improve the living environment of the people of Luoyang, and also to show those foreign ministers of Fanbang, our Han is the real civilized state!" Of course, these are all told to them by Wu Yong, and they were very excited after hearing it, not to mention the young son of heaven Liu Hong, who only felt his blood surging after hearing it, and praised one after another: "You are worthy of being my confidants, and I am very relieved to be able to think about the people so much!" Then he thought of something and asked with a cold face, "Did someone force you to do this?" The ten middle servants also reacted at this time, they were too anxious, in the past, they left the impression of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, that they were cautious, innocent and incorruptible, and today they suddenly followed, they wanted to pay for good things for the people, and they showed their flaws at once.

Therefore, they glanced at each other, and they had to push Wu Yong out to dispel the doubts of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, and no one forced me to wait. Your Majesty also knows that the relationship between our eunuchs and the princes of the court has been very tense recently, and we don't want to embarrass Your Majesty, so I asked Wu Shiyu to think of a way, and he made this suggestion to us. Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "It's really embarrassing for you, since this is the case, you can do it with confidence, if anyone obstructs it, it will be my dictation." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" And all the people rejoiced, and immediately they bowed to him. With the words of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, there will be problems in the future, and no one can help them.

Liu Hong waved his hand to get them up, and then thought of something, and said with a smile: "The last time Wu Shi read the method of printing and printing, I rewarded him with a hectare of land in the Luoyang Imperial Village, I think I am stingy, so let's do it, Cao Jie, tomorrow you go and tell the big farmer Cao Song, and directly reward Wu Yong with a small imperial village, together with the tenant farmers inside, and save him from hiring people to farm." ”

"Whoa!" Cao Jie replied, and happily followed the other lieutenants and retreated. In the next few days, as long as Wu Yong was free, Cao Jie and the other ten permanent attendants would call him over to discuss the construction of a toilet.

Apparently they are very enthusiastic about this kind of thing that can make a lot of money and gain fame at the same time.

In this regard, Wu Yong did not hide his secrets, and briefly talked about the model of public toilets in later generations, such as the site selection and construction of public toilets, the separation of men's and women's toilets, the daily cleaning and cleaning, and the construction of more in crowded cities.

These suggestions made Cao Jie and others suddenly open, and they all said that they would give him a surprise when the toilet was completed.

Originally, Wu Yong thought that they were all polite words, and he didn't take them to heart, but he didn't expect that the first batch of four toilets in Luoyang Jin City had just been built yesterday, and today he was summoned by Cao Song, the big Si Nong, and it was a Zhonghuangmen who gave him the order.

This is not a treatment that everyone has! In the Yellow Gate, the eunuch, belongs to the Shaofu, the rank is more than 300 stones, the forbidden middle, and the person who gives things within the Yellow Gate.

It can be said that in addition to the middle attendants in the palace, the Yellow Gate is the closest to the Son of Heaven. Under normal circumstances, unless the Son of Heaven receives an audience, there will be no situation where the Central Yellow Gate herald is introduced.

Wu Yong has been studying with the Son of Heaven in the palace for a while, and of course he knows the power of Zhonghuangmen, so he is a little embarrassed and said: "The Lord personally sent the order, it was really a tormenting boy." ”

"Haha, don't worry about this, I happened to go to Dasi Nong's Mansion today to have something, it's really a good move."

"I see!" Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Dare to ask your surname?" ”

"A certain surname is Lu Mingqiang, the word Hansheng, and Henan Chenggao people!" Lu Qiang? This name sounds familiar! It should be a celebrity.

Wu Yong thought quickly, and suddenly he thought that this should be the Lu Qiang who took over the position of the middle attendant after Hou Lan's death.

According to records, Lu Qiang entered the palace as a eunuch when he was young, and when he first entered the palace, he was very appreciated by the great eunuch Cao Teng, and was recognized as a confidant and reused.

Later, Cao Teng served as the permanent servant of Da Changqiu, and when he was named Cao Tinghou, he promoted Lu Qiang to Xiaohuangmen. When Liu Hong ascended the throne, Lü Qiang was promoted to the Zhonghuangmen, and after two years of Hou Lan's suicide, Lü Qiang would take over his position as a regular attendant.

Later historical records recorded that Lu Qiang was honest and loyal, and abided by the law. Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, named him the capital of the country, but Lu Qiang resolutely refused to accept it.

In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and Liu Hong, the son of heaven, asked Lu Qiang for advice, and Lu Qiang proposed

The opinion of "first killing the corrupt officials left and right by the emperor, giving amnesty to the party, and examining the history of assassination and the merits of officials with a rank of 2,000 stones" was adopted by Liu Hong, the son of heaven.

After that, Lü Qiang's opinion aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhao Zhong and Xia Yun, so they jointly framed Lü Qiang and the party members to discuss the court, often read Huo Guang's biography, and wanted to abolish the emperor and set up another emperor.

and said that the places where the Lu Qiang brothers are located are corrupt and pervert the law. Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was very unhappy and sent Zhonghuangmen to summon Lu Qiang with weapons.

Lu Qiang said angrily: "If I die, the country will be in chaos." How can a husband be loyal to the country, and obey the disposition of the jailers! So Lu Qiang didn't want to be humiliated in prison, so he committed suicide in the weeds outside.

So Zhao Zhong and others confirmed Lu Qiang's crime, arrested his clansmen, and confiscated all his property.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong remembered that Lu Qiang and Cao Teng's adopted son Cao Song called him brother and brother, and he was a friend of the world. Cao Cao called Lü Qiang Shibo.

Lu Qiang also has a brother named Lu Bohao, no wonder he wants to go to the Dasi Nong Mansion to do errands, it turns out that he is going to meet his old friend Cao Song.

Thinking of Cao Song, Wu Yong thought of some information about Cao Teng and Cao Song. Cao Teng's ancestor was originally surnamed Xiahou.

This should be traced back to the founding of the Han Dynasty, when Liu Bang had a famous minister who was Cao Shen, that is, the ancestor of Cao Jie.

At that time, Cao Shen had a general surnamed Xiahou under him, who was loyal to him, and later Cao Shen asked him to change his surname to Cao, which is why the Cao family and the Xiahou family in Peiguo County called each other brothers, in fact, they were originally a family.

The Cao family began to decline in the generation of Cao Teng's father Cao Meng, and Cao Teng's father sent his youngest son Cao Teng to the imperial court as an official eunuch in order to revitalize the Cao family, originally to protect the children of the family.

When Cao Teng was in the Han Dynasty, he was promoted to the official of the Yellow Gate. In the first year of Yongning, Liu Bao was made the crown prince. Empress Dowager Deng selected the young and gentle officials of the Yellow Gate to serve the crown prince to study, and Cao Teng was selected.

The prince was especially dear to him, and he was rewarded with food and drink, which was different from all others. and Liu Bao ascended the throne, and Cao Teng moved from Xiaohuangmen to the middle of the permanent servant.

In the first year of this year, Cao Teng and Changle Taifu Zhou Fu and other seven people made a decision to welcome Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and made a meritorious title of marquis, Cao Teng was named the Marquis of Feiting, moved to Changqiu, and added a special position.

Cao Teng has been in the court for more than 30 years and has served the four emperors. is good at entering the virtuous ability, and the Chen Liuyufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuan Tangxidian, etc., are all ministers, and do not boast of their merits.

The Taishou of Shu County repaired the book to Cao Teng through the officials, and was found out by the Yizhou Assassin Shi Chong, who impeached Cao Teng as a minister and made friends with foreign officials.

Emperor Huan thought that the book came from outside, and it was not Cao Teng's fault, so he did not punish the crime. Cao Teng not only did not take this matter to heart, but praised Chong Wei as a capable minister.

After Cao Teng became famous, he succeeded his brother's son, that is, his nephew Cao Song, and entered the officialdom through the relationship to fulfill his father's last wish.

In the second year of Yanxi, Cao Teng died in Luoyang because he was ill for a long time. After Cao Teng's death, his adopted son Cao Song became the Marquis of Fei Ting.

According to the system at that time, Cao Teng was to be sent back to his hometown for burial, and his heirs and relatives had to resign from their official positions.

At the end of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, relying on Cao Teng's relationship and treating people decently, Cao Songguan worshiped Sili and Lieutenant.

When Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, ascended the throne, relying on Cao Teng's previous connections, Cao Song was promoted to the rank of Great Si Nong, in charge of the country's finances, and ranked as the ninth secretary, which can be described as a high power.

Dasi Nong's rank is two thousand stones, one of the nine Qings. Zhangqian Valley, the chief financial officer of the state, is ranked alongside the Shaofu who manages the emperor's private wealth.

The subordinate officials include Taicang, Junyi, Pingzhun, Dunei, Jitian Wuling, Cheng, Huiguan, Tieshi two chiefs, Cheng, and the county and state Zhucang Agricultural Supervisor, Dushui, a total of 65 chiefs and Cheng.

Dasi Nong collects more than 400,000 yuan from the people every year. All expenses for officials, military expenses, and engineering construction were paid by the Dasi Nong.

Guantian, salt, iron smelting, and other government-run handicrafts were also under the supervision of Dasi Nong. Cao Song is not an honest person like his adoptive father Cao Teng, and in the past few years of being a big farmer, he has made the Cao family prosperous because of his power.

Wu Yong unconsciously thought a little too much, and by the time he reacted, he had already arrived in the Dasi Nong Mansion.

With Lu Qiang's leadership, there was no need to communicate, and the two walked straight to Cao Song's office. Cao Song was quite surprised when he saw Lu Qiang, and greeted him from a distance.

"Haha, which gust of idle wind blew Brother Lu over today!" After the two saluted each other, Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Cao Changshou personally ordered me to handle the matter of Wu Shiyu taking over Luoyang Huangzhuang, how dare I slack off!" Cao Song was stunned for a moment, and then saw Wu Yong beside Lu Qiang, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wu Shiyu is favored by the Son of Heaven at such a young age, and he is really envious of others!" I have witnessed the demeanor of Wu Shi in the Deyang Hall several times, and I have to be convincing! See you today, three lives are lucky! Wu Yong hurriedly saluted and said: "The adult has praised it falsely, but the kid has admired Master Sinong for a long time!" ”

"Haha, although the old man is one of the Jiuqing, now in terms of fame, he is far inferior to you. If I spread this word of yours, I don't know how many colleagues I will envy. It is said that it is difficult for many people to see you now. Saying that, Cao Song shouted to the inside: "Bo Hao, you must find a high-quality Luoyang Imperial Village for Wu Shiyu, you must have fertile land and tenant farmers are diligent!" ”

"Whoa!" There was an answer from inside. Then Cao Song introduced with a smile: "That is Lu Bohao, who is from Tianling, and he is also the younger brother of this Lord Lu!" Wu Yong was stunned, he didn't expect that Lu Boyu would be mixed with Cao Song now, and he didn't know what Cao Cao was doing at this time!

Next, Lu Qiang said that Wu Yong proposed to the ten permanent servants to build a toilet, which made Cao Song look up to Wu Yong even more, and sighed one after another: "Giving birth to a son should be like Wu Waiter!" Wu Yong said modestly: "I heard that several young men from Master Sinong's family are all dragons among people, and I can't wait to see them." Cao Song laughed heartily and said: "Okay, I'll introduce them to you in a few days, you are not much different in age, and you should be like-minded." ”
