Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 39 Dig sewers and build water towers
When there are too many people, things start to get messy.

The first point is that the construction of toilets has not kept up.

Zhao Cheng had explained the matter of toilets, and built a batch of toilets in Qiangdi.

But Zhao Cheng obviously underestimated the randomness of people in this era.

The first is that there are not enough toilets.

To be precise, the division is not uniform enough.

Strongly say that it is not big, and that it is not small.

Big construction going on now, people everywhere.

It is impossible to repair every corner of the toilet.

In many cases, when people are in a hurry, there is no toilet nearby, so they can only solve it on the spot.

What is more important is people's habits.

Everyone has long been used to peeing everywhere.

Even if the toilet is next to it, people are reluctant to use it.

Zhao Cheng was patrolling when he saw a man standing behind the toilet, urinating against the wall.

This time, he really almost exploded with anger.

"Dali, go! Catch that kid!"

Zhao Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed, his nose was about to breathe fire.

"Yes, my lord!"

Niu Dali stepped forward, no matter what happened to the kid, he carried him and left.

The kid didn't have time to put away his stuff, and immediately peed in his pants.

Just about to open his mouth to swear, when he turned his head and saw Niu Dali, he shivered in fright.

Now, Niu Dali is also a celebrity in Qiangdi, basically everyone knows him.

"Master Niu, I... I didn't break the king's law, did I?"

This kid has no idea what he did wrong.

"Stop talking nonsense! Talk to Mr. Zhao!"

Niu Dali picked up the boy and threw him directly in front of Zhao Cheng.

"My lord, I brought it to you."

Then, he yelled at the kid:
"Your Majesty!"

Accompanied by the voice, he kicked the kid on the back knee.

tom!
The boy knelt heavily on the ground, his legs were already weak from fright.

"Lord Zhao! Spare me! I...have mercy!"

He won't say anything else, just kowtow first.

"Get up! Don't kneel in the future! We don't want to kneel here! You did something wrong, but you don't have to kneel and beg for mercy!

If you made a mistake, you should take responsibility for it!We men must have a sense of responsibility and dare to take responsibility.

What's the use of begging for mercy?Don't you have to take responsibility if you sell miserably? "

Zhao Cheng was very angry with this kid, but he didn't want anyone to kneel in front of him.

Kneeling down at every turn is because the bones were broken by the feudal dynasty.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, I have been enslaved for more than 200 years, so that the bones of the Chinese people are weak.

Zhao Cheng wants to change the world.

Whether he will be emperor or not has not yet been decided.

But one thing is certain, since he has come to this era, he will do something for the nation.

Let the men stand up.

To change the 300-year cycle of chaos.

"I..."

The kid was dumbfounded.

"Strongly! Don't let people kneel down every now and then! I've told you more than once, I don't like people kneeling!
Manchu Tartars... spit!The Jurchen Tartars always make people kneel down and make them slaves!

If you make people kneel again, I will starve you for three days first! " Zhao Cheng scolded Niu Dali.

Niu vigorously shook Lingling.

Three days of starvation... so cruel!
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear the grown-ups? Get up! Do you want me to starve?"

Niu Dali went straight to him, grabbed the boy by the collar of his clothes, and pulled him up.

The boy knelt down in a daze, and got up again in a daze.

Looking at his numb expression, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The kneecaps of the Chinese people did not start to soften or kneel down until the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that in my Qing Dynasty, it developed to the extreme.

More than 1000 years ago, dismissing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone has made people lose their ability to debate and narrow their thinking.

What Zhao Cheng really yearned for was the pre-Qin period, when a hundred schools of thought contended.

Thoughts seem to drift a little far away...

"Obviously there is a latrine, why don't you go in instead of lying outside?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I...it's too dirty inside, my lord. The ground is wet. If I go in, my shoes will get wet, and I can't do it!" The kid looked aggrieved.

Zhao Cheng glanced at him, stepped into the toilet, took a look, and came out with a dark face.

No wonder this kid!

What flashed through Zhao Cheng's mind at this time was actually this idea.

The floor in this latrine is hardened with cement.

The advantage is that it is easy to clean, but the disadvantage is that it does not seep water...

In today's stronghold, newcomers enter every day. Even if we continue to promote civilized common sense, everyone's behavior is not very civilized.

The improvement of quality takes time and needs to be improved a little bit.

This public toilet is obviously not so standardized when people go to use it, the sewage is everywhere, and the pit is also full.

Needless to say the smell, the key is the water all over the floor...it will really wet the shoes.

The soles of modern people's shoes are hard and high.

In this era, people can have a pair of shoes to wear, which is considered good.

The shoes are also soft-soled.Straw sandals or linen shoes.

When it touches water, it drenches.

What's more, it's not water, but urine...

Can't accept it!

Toilets have to be rectified.

Zhao Cheng felt that he hadn't grasped enough management details.

The main reason is that people of this era have a huge gap in their hygiene requirements compared to people from the 21st century.

"Hygiene is important. Poor sanitation can cause malaria outbreaks."

Zhao Cheng paced.

Historically, the population dropped sharply in the late Ming Dynasty. In addition to the factors of war massacres, various pandemics were also important reasons.

A pandemic will leave ten rooms empty.

The reason why the consequences are so serious is that in this era, people do not have the concept of public health, it is too dirty and messy, which provides a breeding ground for germs to grow.

……

Another reason for the poor sanitation in this public restroom is that there is no sewer or running water.

Starting from scratch, building infrastructure a little bit, building infrastructure, it really can't do without anything!
"Dig sewers. Build water towers."

Zhao Cheng immediately made up his mind.

Sewers must be dug on a large scale so that sewage can be discharged somewhere.

This time, thanks to the condition of the bathroom, Zhao Cheng discovered the problem.

Otherwise, once summer comes, I am afraid it will cause floods.

Because the cement-hardened ground area around the strong ground is getting bigger and bigger.

The cement floor cannot seep water. If there is no good drainage channel, it will definitely cause waterlogging and flood the place.

That would be a joke.

Let the trembling boy follow behind, and Zhao Cheng continued to patrol the residential area.

Although people have enough to eat now, they lack supplies, and there is no garbage on the ground... because there is nothing to throw away.

However, Zhao Cheng saw a lot of vomit.

"What's going on here? Are so many people sick?"

It seems that the situation of malaria infection is more serious than imagined!
Zhao Cheng frowned slightly.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not malaria." Niu Dali said.
