Long Xiang shrugged his nose and reminded Feng Zhong tactfully.

"Uncle Zhong, have you smelled anything?"

"Uh... Maybe Yunqi is standing in the wind, if you can't get used to it, go back to the house, I'll let people hold the lamp. It's just.."

Feng Zhong was about to turn around after saying that, but Tang Yu didn't think so.

"It should be the smell of feces and urine blown by the wind, Yunqi, don't forget that we have all lived in the livestock shed, what is there to smell unaccustomed to?"

"There is no way to do it in Xu Village, but Hefei is our homeland, and there are no toilets at home?"

Long Xiang frowned when he spoke, and said in his heart that if the residents were allowed to pull around, they would be as clean and hygienic as Ah San? Will Hefei City still be able to live in the future?

I don't want to learn from the Europeans who made high heels, which didn't fit in with an agrarian society.

If feces are not properly disposed of, they can also contribute to the spread of disease.

Now Hefei City has no Langzhong and no medicinal materials, and once an epidemic plague breaks out, these thousands of people will almost be wiped out.

When Long Xiang first entered the construction site as a technician, the team first had to dig a toilet when they entered the site, and then use soil for landfill treatment before leaving.

Feng Zhong replied with an embarrassed face: "Naturally, there are toilets, but some people just can't control them."

"Everywhere is easy to breed diseases, don't the people have to stay as fertilizer?" Long Xiang was puzzled.

Feng Zhong shook his head lightly, "That is, when the weather is better, some people will plant some fruits and vegetables near their homes, and there are not many places for practical fertilizer..."

"That's not going to work..."Long Xiang frowned and looked serious.

Seeing this, Feng Zhong immediately added: "I will notify them tomorrow, and they are not allowed to pull around, and if they don't listen to the greeting, they will be fined food." ”

"You can use it for farming next year, you first let people notify and publicize more, as for the deduction of grain, you don't have to do it first, wait for me to spend a few days, take a closer look and then make a calculation."

"I can save it."

Long Xiang returned to the Hou Mansion after dinner, and his mind was full of infinite thoughts, which made him unable to sleep for a long time.

It's not because of moving into a big house, and it's not because there are no maids to serve you.

Long Xiang couldn't sleep because he was worried about Hefei and how to build this empty city.

In the past, there were chief engineers, construction, quality, safety, materials and other cadres to assist him in the project department, but now the grass platform team does not have few effective helpers.

After thinking about it all night, Long Xiang decided to find out the bottom first.

No matter how perfect a plan is, it must be realistic.

Early the next morning, Long Xiang and Tang Yu went to Feng's house for dinner again.

After dinner, Tang Yu went to familiarize himself with the city defense, and Long Xiang, accompanied by Feng Zhong, began to inspect various places in the city.

Because of the fecal problem found yesterday, Long Xiang's first stop was to wander around the residential area.

Hefei has not lived for a long time, the houses are more dilapidated, and the houses that can live in people are not concentrated, so nearly 1,000 households live in a large range.

Long Xiang randomly sampled and looked at a few families in the homes of the dependents who moved in first, and found that the furniture and utensils of these households were very complete, and a lot of firewood and grass were piled up outside the house, and the days looked decent.

Later, when I walked to the resettlement area of the new residents yesterday, I found that the furnishings in the house were relatively simple.

Many roofs leak rain and windows leak air, all in all, it can be summed up in four words: barely able to live,

And the entire residential area can also be described in two words: clutter.

Leaving the residential area, Long Xiang stood on the side of the road and bowed his head in contemplation.

Feng Zhong was worried that Long Xiang would mistreat him differently, so he approached to explain: "Don't look at those houses just now, it's not ordinary to live in and tidy up, the utensils at home need to be collected slowly, anyway, the city is ownerless, you can pick up whatever you want..."

"Hmm."

Long Xiang replied softly after hearing this, and said in his heart that this was like a story of the end of the world, and the remnants of the people were collecting supplies in the ruins of the city.

Feng Zhong asked again, "What is Yunqi thinking?" ”

"Everyone lives too scattered, which is not conducive to management..."Long Xiang frowned.

Feng Zhong looked helpless, "The original conditions are like this, the houses that can live in them are not concentrated, unless they are all demolished and rebuilt..."

Tear down and rebuild? Long Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't this my major?

If you want to plan well, you have to use a pen and paper ruler without drawing software.

In addition, if he is also responsible for design, technology, construction, supervision, and quality, wouldn't he die earlier than Zhuge Liang?

"Ahem, I'll talk about it later." Long Xiang instantly dispelled this thought.

In ancient times, there was no problem in building large-scale infrastructure, and there was no machinery and equipment to rely on people.

Hefei belongs to the early stage of land reclamation, there is nothing to want, the existing two or three thousand dependents can only farm self-sufficient, so it is urgent to increase the absorption of population.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Long Xiang pointed ahead, raised his whip and ran out.

After a short time, the two came to a no-man's land with no buildings in the west of the city.

There are many dry weed piles in this area, as well as several depressions in the ground.

Feng Zhong introduced: "Those depressions were originally earthen kilns, because they had been abandoned for too long, they were almost filled with sediment, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds taller than people at first, and then they were cut home and burned as firewood..."

"Earthen kiln?"

Long Xiang frowned and muttered to himself, and said in his heart, isn't this a ready-made building materials processing factory?

The houses in the city are all made of wood and earth, and I directly use kiln-fired bricks instead of rammed earth, which is not only strong but also fast to build.

"Haven't you seen it yet? The kiln can be used to fire pottery, bricks and tiles. ”

Feng Zhong thought that Long Xiang didn't know him, so he was very enthusiastic to introduce him.

"I see, let's move on."

Long Xiang whipped his horse forward, and he walked from southwest to northwest, inspecting like a horse, and finally came to the east gate counterclockwise.

Due to the small number of troops under Feng Zhong's command, he deliberately closed the three gates of Hefei, leaving only the east gate for entry and exit.

Because of floods and droughts one after another, the moat outside Hefei was also filled with silt.

Long Xiang kept shaking his head as he looked at the moat, and said in his heart that there was work to be done everywhere.

The two rode out of Hefei, and Feng Zhong took Long Xiang to Shishui not far away.

Feng Zhong dismounted and grabbed a handful of soil, and said with emotion: "The land on both sides of the water application is fertile, and a little reclamation will become a good field, but a few years ago, Huainan had a lot of rain, and Chaohu Lake often rose water to irrigate the fields, so it seriously affected the harvest." ”

Long Xiang said optimistically: "We can't control natural disasters, but we can't not grow food because of floods, I believe that as long as the river is well dredged, there will be some benefits, it is better than sitting on a mountain and eating nothing." ”

Feng Zhong nodded approvingly: "Yunqi is right, Hefei is empty, and floods only account for one of them, in fact, war and plague are the most fatal." ”

"Proper disposal of feces can effectively control the spread of the disease, which is why I was so excited last night, and now there is no medical treatment in Hefei City, once the epidemic is unthinkable."

"I'll take this matter to heart, do you have any plans for farming? The people of the city have nothing to do all day long, but they will be idle. ”

At this time, it was past noon, and the warm winter sun rose directly above, and the warm sunlight shone on Long Xiang's face, making him unconsciously empty his eyes.

"Hefei is a complex location, and the tuntian farming must be managed in a unified manner, and when the Cao master book completes the personnel statistics, I will arrange personnel to reclaim the wasteland, and I will definitely be able to sow seeds next spring."

"That's great."
