Chapter 387: The Most Underrated Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
Among the public toilets. The most difficult thing to solve is actually the problem of wiping the buttocks. This is well known, Datang, you must still use a toilet to wipe your buttocks, and the poorer the place, the more so.
Even...... When poverty reaches a certain point, in some places, it can be solved by simply picking up a stone on the side of the road, or picking a leaf from a tree.
And now in the public toilet system established by Li Chong, to collect money, to be honest, I really don't dare. After all, the people of Datang are too poor.
In other words, even if you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately. Even if you ask him to spend a penny and go once, it is estimated that many people are not willing.
It's better to solve it casually on the side of the road, and it's a pleasure. But...... This does not affect the establishment of a comprehensive public toilet system.
Although you can't pay for toilets now, you can still sell them if you collect manure.
Other than that...... Although ordinary people are definitely reluctant to spend that money. But what if it's a family of nobles traveling?
That person has to be face-saving, and he can't squat on the side of the road and get a stone to solve it. So this public toilet can actually play a certain role, and even, the biggest role of the public toilet is from them.
And then there's ...... They eat well, and this feces is probably more nutritious. When the time comes, sell this out, and this dung will be sold for money.
Reputedly...... In the Qing Dynasty, there were people who specially collected the feces of the emperor's concubines and sold them.
All I can say is...... Cough! Still don't talk about it. In a word...... Either way, it's worth trying. Other than that...... This also has a lot of benefits for the cityscape of Datang.
In order to make the public toilet more advanced, Li Chong also asked Li Angran to send people to find some small stories.
There are still small stories in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not as much as the number of Ming and Qing dynasties, it is not bad to use it to pass the time in the toilet.
It's best to be able to hire a group of writers to create new content every day for those who come to the bathroom. Of course!
It is estimated that if this is the case, it will be difficult to recover this cost. But regardless of whether he makes money or not, in the future generations, this investment is not like this.
First throw the money into it, and then take this market share. Whether you make money later or not, that is a matter of slowly solving the cost step by step.
Wipe your butt if you say it. Directly with paper! Make an agreement with the craftsman who makes the paper, and buy relatively soft paper at the wholesale price.
This also boosts employment. In fact...... If the people had been farming, they would not have been able to make a lot of money.
Especially during the bumper harvest, it is even more cheap and hurts the farmers. With a public toilet, you can drive the paper industry, and even the industry, so that more people can participate and make money together, to be honest, this is not a bad thing.
…… Twenty-nine years of Yuan Heng. Not long after the New Year, the operation of the Li family shocked everyone.
But don't talk about it...... This public toilet is very well built, and this squatting pit is made of ceramics. And all around, it is built of bricks and cement, and the walls are plastered with lime mortar.
All I can say is...... Even in the homes of the nobles, there is no such beautiful toilet, right? And this cement is still transported back from Liaodong.
This is not! Someone who has done it once and falls in love with it. How to say it! Just one word, advanced!
Anyway, is the toilet in the emperor's palace also like this? This question...... Let's just say, definitely not.
Even if it is Li Chong himself, Li Chong has to use the toilet. Instead of being able to enjoy such a high-class treatment.
It's cheaper for the people of Datang! And then the hotels are not much to say, they belong to normal operations. Restaurant words.
That's more to eat. is like the braised pork that Li Chong and Li Youran both like to eat. But be reasonable!
This seriously affected Li Chong's reputation. I don't know who is so lacking in morality, it is written in medical books that eating too much pork will cause a stroke.
It seems to be Sun Simiao! It's definitely Sun Simiao! But no matter what, practice makes sense, as long as you eat it, you will feel that this thing is no worse than mutton.
Of course! In order to improve people's prejudice against pork. I still want to raise my own pigs and make the pen as clean as possible.
Otherwise...... As long as others think that pigs eat, they suddenly lose interest. You can put a label on special breeding, and then raise the price.
In fact...... The dish itself is not cheap either. After all...... This sugar is in Datang, but it is a scarce product.
Not to mention, there are other spices. Of course! Li Chong has already arranged for people to plant sugarcane, and he will prepare to make his own sugar in the future.
When the time comes...... If this cost is reduced, it should be able to earn more. …… I heard that Li Chong's side continued to make some big moves.
Li Chengqian also came over to see what Li Chong was doing. But...... That's not what his real purpose is.
It's a matter of letting Li Xiang succeed to the throne. Li Chengqian figured it out, so let's retreat. So...... This is the last time he came to ask Li Chong, is Li Xiang okay at present?
Let's be honest...... Li Chong, how do you know. Everyone is an independent individual, even Li Chong very much hopes that Li Xiang can become a Ming Jun, but whether he can become a Ming Jun or not, to be honest, it is difficult for him to say.
It is estimated that any Aya will be worried about whether his son will lose. This is also true for Li Chengqian.
After all...... I'm afraid no one would want their descendants to do badly. As for the ...... Why are you willing to abdicate now?
One of the most important reasons is that I'm probably tired of it. Twenty-nine years of conscientiousness, thinking about it, it seems that he has not received much benefit.
Even...... Someone once advised him to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, but he didn't go. After all, he knows that the real pretending is always like Xiao Yan, low-key and low-key.
You went to seal Zen, so that everyone knew that you were showing off, what is the use. That's right! He was already thinking about how he would pretend to be forced if he died in the future.
I have also fought wars, and during my reign, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest, and all of them surrendered within the four seas.
The people are rich, and the warehouses are full. It should be said that compared to the father of the emperor, it is definitely not worse there.
Then Li Chengqian suddenly asked: "Teacher, you say, if we die, what will the world say about us?" Li Chong said: "If you want to ask the world what people think of you, don't bring me." ”
"But if you want me to say it, it's the rule of Yuan Heng, the most underestimated emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian: "What do you mean?" Li Chong: "Because the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will happen during Li Xiang's reign, if nothing happens, then you will not be a foreshadowing, so you will also contribute to it, so others will evaluate you, the most underestimated Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." "Then he has to think about whether to abdicate now.
