Wang Xin asked the merchant government to order the commercial tax to be checked, and gave these people the opportunity to make up the tax, but there were always people who felt that they could escape, or rather, there were always people who felt that they could not find themselves.

In the end, the vast majority of people did not pay the tax, and pretended not to see it. It can only be said that the saying that meat eaters despise is not wrong at all.

Wang Xin wanted to give these people dignity, but these people didn't want to be decent, so he could only let Shang Fuling help them be decent.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, Shanglin Yuan.

It had just snowed and the whole world was turned white.

Wang Xin's youngest daughter, who is just six years old this year, saw the heavy snow and shouted that she wanted to come out to play. Wang Xin was also very quiet, busy for a whole year, and also wanted to go out for a walk, so he called the queen, the crown prince, the princess, and several princes and grandchildren, and all the big families to go to Shanglin Yuan.

Wang Xin now has six sons, five daughters, four daughters are married, plus several princes and grandchildren, the number has exceeded thirty.

Shanglin Garden is a royal garden, located in the southwest of Luoyang, and Yulinwei is usually stationed. Starting from the first emperor Wang Luo, he would come to Beijing every afternoon to inspect and set a rule, requiring future emperors to come to inspect once a day.

Inspecting the Beijing camp is not to do anything, but to let the soldiers and generals know you and be familiar with you. Only in this way did the soldiers know who paid them and who gave them all kinds of preferential treatment. Make it clear to them who they are to be loyal to.

But in the later period of Emperor Wu, because of physical reasons, he handed over the matter of inspecting the Beijing camp to the prince, that is, Wang Xin, who could still insist on patrolling the camp every day in the first two years of his ascension to the throne, but he began to be lazy in the back.

It has changed from one day to three days.

Shanglin Garden is a royal garden, in addition to stationing a large army, there are also many rare and exotic beasts in captivity, such as the auspicious Rui who came up first from all over the country, there are white tigers, white deer, in addition to these, there are rare and exotic beasts offered by Lingnan and Dian countries, elephants, rhinoceros and peacocks and so on.

In fact, the royal family does not believe in Xiangrui, no matter how auspicious Rui has an ancestral god?

But it can't dampen the enthusiasm of the officials below, so the Xiangrui Imperial Court did not stop it, but it will not encourage it.

The most popular thing in Shanglin Yuan is the peacock, when you see these peacocks for the first time, you are amazed by their beauty, and many people in the royal family are fond of this animal. So Wang Xin sent someone to build a warm house and keep it well.

Peacocks like warm climates, and the winters are too cold, so they can only hide in conservatories these days.

"This peacock is so beautiful, Daddy, can you take it out to play!" A little girl who looks like a pink carving grabs a handful of millet and feeds it to a peacock.

"Then they'll freeze to death!" Wang Xin said with a smile, reached out and touched the little girl's head and said with a smile.

"But isn't the magpie able to be outside? The peacock is also a bird, why can't it? The little girl asked, looking up.

"Here, peacocks are birds from the south, magpies are from the north, and they come here to adapt to the water and soil." Wang Xin explained with some headaches.

He now also has a headache for children's curiosity, they always ask some strange questions, even if Wang Xin is well-read, sometimes he can't answer these questions.

"What is it that is not adaptable?"

"It's just that they're afraid of the cold."

"I'm afraid of the cold, so dress them!"

"Well, they don't like it"

"How warm are the clothes, how can they not like it?"

Wang Xin finished dealing with his little daughter, and the little guy didn't have time to ask why, so he ran outside in the snow and played wildly. As Wang Xin's youngest daughter, the little one is the most favored in the family, so she has also become a demon king of the world, and her nephews are afraid and afraid of this aunt.

After playing in Shanglin Yuan for a day, Wang Xin drove back to the palace. The snow on the roads in the city has been cleared, and the imperial court has special cleaning personnel, and at the same time, there are regulations in Daqian that the people are obliged to clear the snow.

When Zijue established Huai'an City, he had already formulated a set of urban health management regulations and urban traffic management regulations.

Both regulations have been implemented in earnest. The larger the city, the stricter the enforcement of these regulations.

Every street in Luoyang City has a sewer, and at the same time, there is a public toilet on every street. There are clear regulations in Luoyang City that open defecation is prohibited and you must go to public toilets.

At the same time, all livestock will be required to tie a bag to their buttocks after entering Luoyang City. This bag is meant to hold livestock manure.

Everyone who enters Luoyang City must abide by the fact that if feces are allowed to fall on the streets, they will be criticized and educated for the first time, and then they will take one day out of the following month to sweep the streets.

The second time you make a mistake again, you need not only to sweep the street, but also to pay a fine. As for the third time, it was to sweep the streets with a flail for a month and pay a fine.

Therefore, the caravan that came to Luoyang would not only tie bags on the buttocks of the livestock, but also send people to follow behind to clean up the manure, so as not to be punished.

At the same time, there are also regulations for those caravans who like to drink, get drunk, defecate in the open, etc., and anyone who drinks and goes crazy and defecates in the open will be punished for cleaning the public toilets.

Similarly, the first time is one day, the second time is a month, and as for those who refuse to change their ways, the tools of the crime will be directly confiscated.

Of course, although this system has been in place for many years, there is still no one who has not changed it.

Even if public toilets are cleaned on time, it is not a shame to be penalized for cleaning toilets. So very few people will commit it a second time.

The imperial court divided the residents and shops in Luoyang into fang cities, and each fang city was managed by the governor, such as these public facilities were managed by the mayor, and then the people in the city took turns to clean up, which was also the obligation of the people.

The manure from these public toilets is a good thing, and after fermentation, it is a high-quality fertilizer, and in this era when there are no chemical fertilizers, this kind of farm fertilizer is a favorite of farmers.

There are special people in the city who come to collect the manure, and after collecting the manure, they will sell the manure to farmers on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Even for these feces back then, there were some dung tyrants in Luoyang City. Then these dung tyrants were severely beaten by the imperial court, how can these people be arrogant in the best place in the capital?

The pursuit of hygiene in ancient China was unimaginable to others, and the big cities of Europe were still in the era when they were surrounded by dung mountains and flowing with feces and urine, while ancient China had a special "Urban Management Regulations" more than 1,000 years ago.

When Marco Polo came to China, he found the city to be incredibly clean, which is why he called it a paradise in his travelogue. - The Impact of Plague and Hygiene on Civilization
