Chapter 316: Advice to the World

The huge Yingtian City, with a million household registrations, if you count the temporary residence of outsiders, I am afraid that it will only exceed two million, such a big city, once something goes wrong, it is not easy to clean up.

Xu Jingchang can only try to prevent problems before they happen and deploy them in advance.

Therefore, in Yingtian City, the most common is the cleaning worker.

Every day before dawn, you will see many workers, dragging four-wheeled carts, in front of each street, collecting excrement.

In fact, as early as on the Qingming Shanghe map, you can see this kind of four-wheeled, manpower-driven car, which is very suitable for driving in a flat city.

The carriage is properly sealed, and then it goes to every street to collect the feces that the people pour on the toilet in the morning, and when the cart is full, it is immediately sent outside the city, and the price of a cart of dung is not low, usually it can be sold for about fifty yuan.

There are special farmers who collect manure and put it in the dug pit to make manure.

Including the Xu family, there are also special farms, not only for people, but also for livestock, cow dung, horse manure, and even sludge and dead leaves...... All of them are collected to form an industrial chain.

Although the output value is not high, it has extraordinary value for the environment of Yingtian.

Therefore, Xu Jingchang issued a special decree that workers engaged in fecal collection can receive a monthly allowance. In the third month of summer, there are still ten catties of mung beans every month.

In the winter months, there is also a clothing subsidy.

Xu Jingchang has never been liked by courtiers, and he can't wait for a thunderbolt to kill him. Xu Jingchang didn't think he could become a saint, after all, in his position, could he refuse the temptation of hereditary replacement?

Obviously, Xu Jingchang wants to stand on the position of "villain", but as a traverser, Xu Jingchang always retains something different.

For example, he also retains a bit of sympathy and kindness for these low-level workers who fiddle with feces and urine all day long.

In addition to the subsidy, Xu Jingchang also set up dozens of cheap bathrooms...... Workers only need a penny each time to take a bath, and in winter, there is a supply of hot water.

Although the work is dirty, the money we earn is clean, and the people are clean!

And those who do these low-level jobs are usually some poor people, and there are many elderly people who have no children...... Xu Jingchang also explained it and registered everyone.

If a person dies, there is no way to take care of the aftermath.

The local yamen will be responsible for preparing the coffin and sending it to the cemetery for burial.

These things will be included in the content of the evaluation.

Maybe the great Ming Dynasty, Xu Jingchang can't take care of every place, but at the feet of Yingtian and the Son of Heaven, Xu Jingchang hopes that this city will have some temperature, not cold.

Occasionally, Xu Jingchang would take the time to go to various places to take a look, and deal with something that seemed very simple to him...... And Xu Jingchang also made an attempt, that is, to encourage the people to take care of each other.

For example, a street, over 50 years old, in good health, can do something, and is willing to do something...... You can report it and receive a subsidy from the imperial court...... After receiving the subsidy, you have to take care of the elderly in the street, those who are old and have difficulties in life.

Or carry water, or sprinkle and sweep the house, or light a fire to cook.

Also, if the children have no one to take care of them, and the parents have to go out to work, then you can entrust the children to these elderly people and let them help take care of them.

Even Xu Jingchang encouraged those elderly people who were literate to come out, teach their children to read, read some newspapers, and reason with them...... It's preschool.

In addition, Xu Jingchang will encourage many activities...... For example, flying kites, shaking bamboos, kicking shuttlecocks, and fighting crickets.

In addition to this, he also trumpeted the Cats and Dogs Association, the Hunters Association, the Fishing Enthusiasts Association...... That's right, even the fishing guy can find an organization here in Xu Jingchang.

"How's that Taoist priest doing? But have you found out? ”

Xu Jingchang casually asked Hu Hu after the meeting.

Hu Hu immediately replied: "Dingguo Gong, it has been thoroughly investigated, he was originally a broken Taoist priest in a small temple, and after being bought, he entered the court to coax Dingguo Gong, it is not a secret that he can not eat or drink, but he has a ginseng pill on his body and hides it on the sleeve of his Taoist robe." It's exactly the same as what Ding Guogong said. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Well, what crime did you convict him?" ”

"Offering the demon book, plotting against the evil...... The decision is made immediately, just waiting for the approval of the Criminal Department. Immediate execution. ”

Xu Jingchang paused, "He was also instigated by others, so he didn't have to be killed." Give him a broom and go sweep the streets. ”

Hu Hu nodded hurriedly, "Dingguo Gong is magnanimous, this Taoist priest must be grateful to Dade." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of your resources." ”

The Taoist priest never dreamed that he would come out alive, and when he looked back at the Jinyi Guard's edict, it was like a dream.

It's just what I'm going to do next?

Return to the Taoist temple and continue to be a Taoist priest?

Definitely not!

So go find an errand?

But who would dare to take him in?

After all, he walked around the Imperial Prison.

When the old Taoist priest was confused, someone came over and stuffed a broom into his hand.

"Dingguo Gong said, let you sweep and work on the street from now on...... The Shangyuan County Ya advances half a month's salary to you, and you can go find a place to live. ”

The Taoist priest was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

The official looked at him and said, "You are going to offer a demon book, and the demon words confuse the people." From now on, you have to dare to talk nonsense and bewitch the people, once someone reports it, then be careful that the two sins will be one, and no one will be able to save you! ”

The Taoist priest was startled, and hurriedly agreed, even saying that he didn't dare.

After getting paid, the Taoist priest was also quite confused, and said that everything in the capital is expensive, where can I rent a house?

Do you want to find a land temple, just rub it for a night.

When he found a temple tremblingly and told him about the matter, the people in the temple told him with a smile, don't worry, go to the outer city, there is a special rental.

According to the instructions, Lao Dao came to the outer city, and he was happy when he saw it, and there was a lot of news about renting houses in the streets and alleys.

The outer city is completely different from the inner city, the outer city has a very strong commercial atmosphere, and there are not so many rules.

Some time ago, didn't Zhu Gaoxu preside over the construction of a group of workers' accommodation houses?

The first batch of houses had a small courtyard, which was pitifully small...... But in a small place, it was also a place, and someone took advantage of it and built a shed with a bed in it.

The price of this kind of accommodation is very cheap, only 100 wen a month, and the good ones are less than 200 wen.

The Taoist priest rented the cheapest one, and the one that leaked rain, only cost eighty wen.

Then he bought a few tiles himself, repaired the leaks, and then bought pots and pans, and half a bag of noodles.

When the landlord saw that he was old, he even took pity on him, and he could use the kitchen of the master's house, and only need to pay another 20 yuan a month for firewood.

In this way, this Taoist priest began the life of Yingtian.

Go out early and return late every day, wearing the stars and the moon.

He has also worked in Taoist temples for many years, and he is familiar with it...... Because of the clean and diligent cleaning, in the first month, it was well received.

The official in charge of him also encouraged him with two words, and most importantly, he gradually became familiar with the merchants and shops on this street.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse would invite him to drink a bowl of jujube tea, and the owner of the steamed bun shop would sell it half and give it away when he saw that there was any left, so that he could get a bargain.

Lao Dao was still trembling at first, and he didn't know why, but gradually he understood that in Yingtian, the former county magistrate Huang Xiaoru governed the place in this way.

The original Ying Tian was also quite messy, but Huang Qingtian made a bold move and swept away the dust.

The mess was all disposed of.

Although it is a county, it is the first county in the world given by the emperor, and it is not afraid of the powerful and invincible.

This is a matter of culture, those bad people have been disposed of, and doing business is a personal character...... The surrounding people say hello, the guests have a good reputation, and the business can get better and better.

Take care of the old and weak, cherish the orphans, give the busy workers on the street a sip of water to drink, let them rest...... It's called civilization!

That's right, this is the civilized city preached by the General Administration Department, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, we must lead the world...... It's not for nothing that you want to be a good person.

Once you get the title of civilized businessman, you can get a lot of convenience, and even encounter business difficulties, go to the bank to borrow money, and you can also get interest discounts.

All in all, good people can't be allowed to suffer.

This is Xu Jingchang's principle.

The Taoist priest observed Yingtian with a novel gaze.

Gradually, he also learned to give back to others, for example, he would carefully clean the front of each shop. When it comes to moving things, he will also help.

And with more contacts, people also knew that the old Taoist priest was literate, so they asked him to take time to read the Di Bao.

After a few more days, the big guy became more familiar with it, and asked the Taoist priest to teach the child.

These children are generally under the age of seven, which is the time when people are tired of dogs, but the Taoist priest is very patient...... And compared to those who only knew a few words, he was very knowledgeable, and he spoke well, and was very popular.

Some people even asked him to be the children's teacher, so he didn't have to sweep the streets.

Everything is changing for the better...... But suddenly, one day, the official of the yamen took him away directly.

You are a miscellaneous old man who bewitches the public, and you dare to harm children?

Lao Dao thought that he was finished, and this time he must be unlucky.

But he never thought that on the street that day, there would be several shopkeepers and a few old friends who knew him, and they jointly signed a guarantee to guarantee that he was not talking nonsense.

Then the children's families also stood up, and dozens of people spoke for him.

The yamen also had to check carefully, and the next day, it was confirmed that there was no problem and the old road was released.

From the Jinyi Wei Imperial Prison to the county government prison, this is the second time to enter the palace.

Although it hasn't been for a long time, it should have some insight.

The Taoist priest remembered the so-called Taiping Sutra...... He thought about it carefully, the first part of the Taiping Sutra talked about a lot of gods, and then talked about the method of cultivation, and the most precious thing is to advocate cherishing the people, taking care of the poor, relieving the victims, and caring for the sufferings of the common people.

Achieve peace and prosperity on earth.

There is nothing wrong with these contents, and the Taoist priest also thinks that it is a wonderful way to govern the country, and the axiom of the country should be accepted.

After encountering a wall in Xu Jingchang, and after experiencing this again, Lao Dao suddenly had a realization, what Taiping Sutra is, it is nonsense at all, or too shallow!

Under the Duke of Dingguo, in Yingtian City, isn't he doing what the Taiping Sutra says!

It's just a matter of doing better, being more reasonable, and more disciplined......

Ying Tian has detailed rules and regulations, and will tell everyone about things, and there will be rewards for good deeds, and punishments for bad deeds.

Young people work outside the home to earn money and support their families. The elderly are also fed, so they will not be lonely.

Children can read and write, and later become famous and officials.

What you see in your eyes, what you think in your heart, what the book says...... Isn't this a time of peace and prosperity!

What the Taiping Sutra says has been realized in Yingtian!

I am still stupid to take the Taiping Sutra to offer treasures, even if the Taiping Sutra is not nonsense, isn't it also a class with an axe?

Thinking of this, Lao Dao's face was feverish...... It turns out that the clown turned out to be himself!

After thinking about it, he decided that he had to write something.

What the Taiping Sutra says is false, and what the Buddhist Sutra says about Elysium is not true...... What else is the White Lotus Sect, what is the childless parent, vacuum hometown...... That's even more.

In the past, I said these things just because the court was dim and the people were struggling to make a living, so they had to send their feelings to the Taoists, hoping to find a way out...... And those ambitious people just use these scriptures to deceive people, coerce the people, raise troops to rebel, and cause chaos in the world.

And now, the Son of Heaven is Shengrui, and the virtuous ministers are full of dynasties.

Although it was only Yingtian, I still saw hope.

The imperial court has the ability to make the people live better and achieve a peaceful and prosperous world. Why should you be bewitched by demons and turn your back on the court?

It doesn't make sense!

After the Taoist priest figured out this, he was really enlightened, and he spent half a month writing a "Good Words for Persuading the World", in which he refuted the claims of Buddhism and Taoism, and as for the White Lotus Sect, he was scolded by him, all of which were deceptive.

He also appeared to explain and introduced some methods.

For example, fried imps and the like, he also talked about how to deceive the people, and he also told the common words.

In the end, the Taoist priest advised the people of the world that he should believe in the imperial court, work hard, and everyone should also try their best to do good, cherish the old and the poor, do good deeds, and be a good person.

In this way, it is a peaceful and prosperous world, better than the heavenly court.

After writing this article, the Taoist priest hesitated for several days and did not dare to hand it over.

He was afraid that someone would say that he would bewitch the public and be arrested again.

It took him more than half a month before he had the courage to send this thing to the newspaper...... As a result, half a month later, he found that his article was actually published in the Di newspaper.

And that didn't matter, he received a full twenty percent of the manuscript fee.

I also got an invitation...... It was commissioned by the General Administration Department to send it to the Di Newspaper, inviting people from all walks of life to talk about the changes since the Yongle Reform and make suggestions.

And the envoy will come in person to collect opinions from all parties and thank the big guys for their contributions.

Are you going to meet Dingguo Gong again?

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, his heart was pounding, the whole person was not good, he also pretended to be a ghost in front of him, and even cursed Dingguogong's family...... At this time, what can he say when he meets Dingguo Gong?

Or don't go...... But he was a little hesitant, he really wanted to talk about it, talk about his experience, and say his thoughts, it was really tangled!

The little one is also a little entangled now, how should the plot be deduced...... I'm sorry for today's update......
