Han Shizu

Chapter 1393 The Bottom Layer
It was a rare trip, so Emperor Liu naturally wouldn't spend all his time in restaurants. After a full meal, he left for the next stop. Nanshi was just next door, so he was naturally the first place to go.

In front of the restaurant, just as he was about to board the car, Emperor Liu looked back at the plaque. The five characters looked murderous, and there was a dog barking.Emperor Liu waved to Zhang Dejun, and asked: "Dog meat is not like chicken, duck, pig and sheep. Do you know the source of meat dogs killed in this restaurant every day?"

"This, I'm sorry I don't know!" Zhang Dejun replied.

"Heh, there is something else that your envoy Zhang doesn't know?" Emperor Liu asked.

Perhaps Emperor Liu was just making a joke, but Zhang Dejun didn't dare to underestimate it, and immediately said: "Send someone to investigate immediately!"

"You don't need to spend too much time, I'm just asking casually! I heard from Aries before that stealing dogs in the countryside is really common." Emperor Liu said leisurely: "If there is anything involved in it, call the Luoyang government. That’s enough, Zhao Kuangyi should be interested even if it’s a cock-crowding dog!”

"Yes!" Zhang Dejun replied.

The emperor is lucky, even if it is a private visit in a micro-service, the place where he walks is also a blessed place. Even if he can't bring blessings, at least there will be no disasters.However, it may be difficult for the owner of this dog meat restaurant to know that after Emperor Liu Meimei enjoyed a meal of dog meat, he would cause trouble for him by turning around and saying a word, and he didn't care if his restaurant would be smashed
After shopping in Nanshi, it was almost dusk, and once again experiencing the hustle and bustle of the downtown, Emperor Liu seemed less energetic.

A trace of exhaustion appeared on his face, but what made people even more disturbed was Emperor Liu's unhappy expression.Liu Chengxun took the initiative to ask: "Second brother, I am not very interested in watching you. If you are tired, please return to the palace first!"

Strolling on the streets, the warm wind is warm, the roads are lined with green willows, and the city scenery is not only noisy, but also somewhat pleasant, especially for Emperor Liu.

Noticing the cautious gazes of Liu Chengxun and others, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said with a light smile, "I don't care about you. I'm used to it, and I'm losing my interest!"

"Second brother, if you find it boring, let someone arrange it. There are still many places to visit in Xijing!" Liu Chengxun said.

Emperor Liu thought about it for a while, and suddenly pointed out: "In the capital, not all of them are rich and well-off families, and there are no fewer poor people! I'm going to have a look!"

"Officials, there are dragons and snakes mixed together in those places. It's really inconvenient for you, the king of gold, to go there in person. If you want to know something, you can ask someone to ask." After hearing this, Zhang Dejun persuaded.

"No!" Emperor Liu said in high spirits, stubbornly: "I have seen a lot of singing and dancing, and the hustle and bustle. I will also see what kind of life the lower class people are like!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dejun was a little helpless. He stopped Emperor Liu because he really cared about his safety and had no other thoughts.

On the contrary, Liu Chengxun approved of Brother Huang's thoughts: "How can the country not prosper and the people be uneasy if the second brother cares about the head of Guizhou and the people's livelihood as much as he does!"

"It's far from here! You don't have to compliment me anymore, I feel ashamed after hearing too much!" Emperor Liu smiled and waved to his followers: "Let's drive!"

Luoyang is so big, with thousands of mansions, there are high and low, rich and poor.The city's management system has made great progress and changes compared to the past. It is more open and free. The most notable feature is that the boundaries of the square and the city have been completely broken, and great changes have taken place in Luoyang City.

However, some situations have not changed much. For example, in places closer to the imperial city, nobles and high-ranking officials often gather together, especially in the south of the imperial city and on both sides of Tianjie.

And the east of the imperial city is also rich and noble. As for the "slums" that Emperor Liu wants to see, it is located in the southeast of the city.It's not as messy and crime-ridden as imagined. For a long time, the capital's government has been very strict about urban sanitation and public security management.

Especially recently, since Zhao Kuangyi took office, he has increased his management requirements. The bureaucrats and servants under Luoyang Mansion are also vigilant and will not relax in the short term.

However, as Zhang Dejun said, it is very mixed, there are mixed dragons and snakes, there are all kinds of people.Not only the local families, but also the resident residents, from all over the world, with mixed accents, smoke from the kitchen, cocks crowing and dogs barking, and children playing. Compared with those high-spirited and serious aristocratic residences, it is obviously more atmospheric and more real.

Emperor Liu wandered around without saying a word, with only a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, observing and listening silently.It's not so coincidental, it just happened that he ran into something bullying the market, bullying men and women, and he passed it very peacefully. Everything seemed to be not too good. Bad, it is the capital after all.

Of course, there is a bright and prosperous side, but there is also a dark and ruthless side, but Emperor Liu still can't see it all.Before leaving, he encountered something that interested him.

In the not-so-wide alleyway, there was a peculiar smell in the air, the smell of feces. Looking at the dung carts that were being escorted away by a few coolies, Emperor Liu asked: "I heard that the treatment of human and animal feces in the capital is not a good idea. Has it become a business?"

This matter was naturally answered by Zhang Dejun. Although it was awkward to talk about such filthy things with the emperor, Emperor Liu was interested, so he dared not refuse to answer.

"Go back to the official house, that's right! There are millions of officials and people in the capital, and the disposal of human and animal excrement is a problem that must be solved. In order to keep the capital clean and tidy, the government can't allow the city to be filled with dirt and stench. Therefore, management regulations have been issued repeatedly. !
As early as Kaifeng, people began to go door-to-door to clean up the cesspit for the citizens of Tokyo. The excrement collected was filthy in the city, but it was good fertilizer for the farmers outside the city.

Through this method, not only can the common people in the city collect wages, but also earn money through sales, so many people have made money from it!And the number of people doing this gradually increased, and there were many followers, and later it was spread, and the same was true in Luoyang.

So far, every square and mile in Xijing, including the public toilets built by the government, has someone who is responsible for cleaning and transshipment. It is said that there are nearly 2000 people engaged in this industry in Xijing alone. There are some fights, and some people have specially researched a set of ways to preserve and dispose of feces.”

"360 lines, you can be the champion!" After listening to his narration, Emperor Liu muttered, but his expression was very kind: "This is very good! Although it is easy to be despised by people who live in dung, but it can make money to support the family. To make a living, but also to contribute to the cleanliness of the capital, it is worthy of recognition!"

For Emperor Liu, compared with the prosperous and prosperous scenes he had seen before, such a small section obviously aroused his emotions more.In Emperor Liu's vague memory, it seems that the dung business really took off late, but in his Han Dynasty, it had already developed to the present level, which naturally represented a kind of progress.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, I beg you to return to the palace!" Zhang Dejun begged respectfully, seeing that Emperor Liu's mood had improved, with a visible smile on his face.

"No hurry!" Emperor Liu was still in high spirits, after a little consideration, he said directly, "Go to the British government!"

"I've been saying that I'm going to visit a doctor, but I haven't been able to make it. Today is my chance, so let's go!" Emperor Liu said to Liu Chengxun, "We two brothers just happened to go to see Chai Rong together!"

"Yes! Yinggong is a minister of the Zhu Kingdom of the Han Dynasty. He has made outstanding contributions, is devoted to his duties, and has always been respected. It is right to visit the government!" Liu Chengxun said immediately.

After boarding the car and taking a seat, Emperor Liu sighed heavily again.Seeing this, Liu Chengxun couldn't help asking: "Second Brother, is the British Duke's condition serious?"

Emperor Liu sighed quietly: "I have become sick from overwork, and it is difficult to recover. For so many years, the founding heroes, veterans and ministers have left me one by one. I really don't want to lose another loyal minister, a close friend. Time urges people. How can it be?"

Emperor Liu's emotional words can only be said to be half true or false.
