Chapter 9 Toilet Squatting Pit
In the next few days, Yang Guang changed his name and then took over the matter of supervising the construction of Daxing City, which was very noisy, and the court was talking about it.
The prince's party has always been strongly opposed to the construction of Daxing City, and now the matter of supervising the construction has fallen on Yang Guang's head, and the opposition is even more intense, while looking forward to seeing Yang Guang's jokes, and on the other hand, he is afraid that Yang Guang will do this thing well, and he spares no effort to form a gang in the court to oppose the Daxing City project.
When Yang Jian was about to have dinner today, he went to find Queen Dugu, who came to get angry.
"Gao Gong also helped the prince's party speak today, is he, the prime minister, my prime minister or the prince's prime minister?"
Queen Dugu knew that Yang Jian was in a bad mood, and it was rare to see him so angry.
What annoyed him was not that the ministers opposed Daxingcheng, and this kind of argument had not been in the court for a day or two, but that his prime minister Gao Gong had clearly stood up with the prince's party today to oppose it.
Gao Gong has been following Yang Jian since he was still the prime minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he is his right-hand man, and he has always been his solid supporter.
Queen Dugu appeased and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Gong came to find a concubine yesterday. ”
"Oh? Why? ”
"Your Majesty, you handed over the responsibility of Daxing City to the King of Jin, there will naturally be some criticism in the court, Gao Gong, the prime minister, has done an excellent job, everything is for the sake of Dasui, but Your Majesty, Gao Gong's daughter is the prince's concubine after all, and he is neutral because he understands that he has to do things for His Majesty, but in the end, he is also afraid that His Majesty will have other thoughts."
Yang Jian frowned slightly: "So today, this old boy Gao Gong is here for me to see, this old guy ......"
"Your Majesty, human nature, the new dynasty is square, people's hearts are unstable, don't blame too much."
"I understand, do you have any other daughters?"
Queen Dugu shook her head.
"When will the princess of Xiliang enter Beijing?"
"It's probably just these two days."
"Okay, you can rest assured that you can take care of these things, and I will talk to him over there."
"Your Majesty, what are you doing in such a hurry? It will be late, so let's stay for dinner, and the people who come will tell your majesty to eat in the palace and go to bed. ”
Yang Jian said solemnly: "Queen, I am busy with official business today and still have a lot of affairs to deal with. ”
"Your Majesty hasn't rested here in this palace for five days."
"Busy, really busy, Amor said that he wanted to add underground pipelines to Daxing City, which cost at least two percent more, and I don't know how Yu Wenkai did it, so I really accepted his suggestion, and said that the underground pipelines in Daxing City can be used for a hundred years, I have to go and see."
"Your Majesty, you can't finish busy, you have to rest when it's time to rest, it's late now, Yu Wenkai and Amand can't enter the palace overnight, Your Highness should rest."
Yang Jian can't refuse anymore, is this a break?
But as an emperor, it is reasonable to work day and night.
……
"Flush."
In the Jin Palace, with Yang Guang's order, Wang Yi, who was at the other end of the room, pulled the rope, and the water that had been prepared long ago flowed through the waterway and rushed to the other end.
Yu Wenkai was a little surprised and said: "This is what His Highness said before, is this a new way to cooperate with the sewage pipeline?" In this way, all the filth can be flushed directly into the sewage pipe! ”
Yu Wenkai was surprised because, as a planner, he knew better than anyone else the importance of sewage discharge to the whole city.
Pavilions, palaces, markets, Qionglou Yuyu are the face of this city on the surface, but the more people who live here, the more filth will be produced, and people have thought of a lot of ways, but they can't deal with this matter well.
If a man wants to live, he must eat and drink Lazar, and if he solves the problem of eating and drinking, he must also solve Lazar, otherwise the earth will be full of filth sooner or later.
Ollie is indeed an important fertilizer, but there is no place around Daxing City to consume the sewage produced by such a large number of people, and it still has to find a way to directly discharge it into the river.
The reason why Yang Guang told Yang Jian at the beginning that he wanted to lay sewage pipes under Daxing City was because he imagined that this huge city would be dragged down in the future, just like medieval Europe, and Ollie was everywhere.
If you don't do a good job in the sewage system, even if Daxing City is built, no matter how prosperous it is, that is, the wide skirts of the Miss Europe in the Middle World are beautiful on the surface and sloppy on the inside.
The thing that Yang Guang is doing now is not a flush toilet, it is just a simple flush, but it can be much faster and cleaner with the sewage system than the current way.
Only then did Yu Wenkai understand that Yang Guang was not a person who could just talk big and draw big cakes, he thought of the specifics, the subtleties that he thought of, and the places that these noble lords didn't even care about.
The nobles and rich men don't care about these things at all, because there are people who will deal with them for them, but the common people in this era have to face the matter of how to deal with sewage every day.
"As long as the water tank is filled with water, it will be flushed, this device does not cost much, as long as it is promoted, Daxing City can be free from the nuisance of sewage, Your Highness, you have done a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people." Yu Wenkai was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"It's just a small thing, and that's why I said I had to increase the budget to lay sewers."
"Your Highness's vision, Your Highness's vision!"
Yu Wenkai only felt that he had met a person who really knew how to build a city, no matter what dignitaries he had met before, he had always only cared about how grand the house was, how elegant the style was, and no one cared about the inside of the house.
Originally, I was worried that Yang Guang, a teenager, would come to supervise the construction of Daxing City, and the emperor wanted to find something to do for his son and mix up the experience, and he didn't think that Yang Guang could help anything, as long as he didn't make trouble, he didn't expect to meet his confidant.
Yang Guang said to Yu Wenkai: "Has the sand table been built?" ”
"Okay, King Jin, go to the front hall and have a look."
In the past few days, in addition to ordering people to make flush toilets, Yang Guang also asked Yu Wenkai to find someone to make a model sand table about Daxing City, and more than a dozen carpenters made it day and night.
Coming to the middle hall, there is a sand table in it at this time, you can see the more three-dimensional imperial city, and the east and west two markets, 109 squares, because of the rush period, in fact, 109 squares are currently only 20, the rest have to be added slowly, but enough to do the display.
And the craftsmen of this era are really exquisite, even if they are in a hurry, they will do their best, after all, if they don't do it well, they will smash the brand, do things for the royal family and even accidentally lose their heads, no one dares to take it lightly.
Yang Guang looked at the sand table with great satisfaction, if we want to sell the house, we naturally have to do a good job in the sand table of sales, so there is room to play.
As for why you are in such a hurry to do it, because the day after tomorrow is Yang Lihua's birthday.
Who is Yang Lihua? Yang Jian's eldest daughter, the empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is only twenty years old, because of the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Lihua and Yang Jian have a stiff relationship, but the relationship with Yang Guang has been good since childhood.
Yang Jian and his wife tolerated Yang Lihua everywhere, if there was no Yang Lihua, it would not be so simple for Yang Jian to take the position.
In the past, the queen mother of the dynasty became the princess of the dynasty, and she was the only one in the eternity, if the power of women in the capital is said, except for Queen Dugu, it is Yang Lihua.
The day after tomorrow is Yang Lihua's birthday, and guests will be invited at that time, and it is not a simple matter for these VIPs to invite all, Yang Guang wants to take this opportunity to sell the house.
