Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 466
The court is going smoothly, and the battle in Youzhou is also very smooth.

On February [-], the Youzhou Jiebao arrived in Chang'an.

Xie Shufang led his army to break through Xinchang and Xincheng, wiped out [-] rebels within three days, beheaded the rebel general Luo Shou and Luo Yi's son Luocheng, and the troops went straight to Jixian County.

Duan Zhixuan led the iron cavalry to break through Jimen, via Changping, and Luo Yi's back road was cut off.

So far, Ji County has been besieged.

After reading the victory report, Li Zhiyun ordered the Zhengshitang to issue an edict to commend them, and hoped that they would make persistent efforts and win Youzhou as soon as possible.

Luo Yi's defeat did not surprise Li Zhiyun. It is simply a dream come true to use Youzhou as a place to contend against a country.

Li Zhiyun holds hundreds of thousands of Tang elites, if he can't take down a Youzhou, it's a big joke, it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill him, just reincarnate.

political affairs hall.

Li Zhiyun looked at the document, and finally wrote, and the approval agreed.

These are two appointment documents, namely the transfer of Du Ruhui as the governor of Liangzhou, and the transfer of Xue Shou as the governor of Jinzhou.

Although he really didn't want to let these two people become local officials, but for the sake of the future, he could only do so.

Now that he is able to control the imperial court, it doesn't matter if Du Ruhui and Xue Shou are temporarily allowed to serve as local officials.

After two or three years, they can be transferred back to the court and entered the center.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun closed the document.

At this time, Li Zhen came to report, and Yuwen Rutong asked to see him.

"What is he here for?" Li Zhiyun was a little surprised.

Since Li Zhiyun took power, Yuwen Rutong has been completely busy, expanding workshops, building waterwheels, building blast furnaces, and training craftsmen. A series of things almost made him dizzy.

"The Yuwen supervisor said that the soil and fertilizer stored in the cellar can be opened."

Damn!

Li Zhiyun slapped his head, he almost forgot about it.

"Go and have a look."

"Yes."

Food is the most important thing for the people, and there is food in their hands, so they don't panic.

This is still the case a thousand years later, let alone the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago.

Food always comes first.

In order to get more food, besides starting to let people grow winter wheat and promoting Quyuanli, Li Zhiyun naturally started from the land.

Soil fertilizer is one of Li Zhiyun's methods.

Half an hour later, Li Zhiyun hurried to Weihe Workshop on horseback.Under the guidance of Yuwen Rutong, he came to the garden where the soil and fertilizer were buried.

At this time, the craftsmen have already dug out the earth and chemical fertilizers stored in an altar from the ground.

"Open the altar." Li Zhiyun looked at the pot expectantly.

Yuwen Rutong took the order and led people to open the jar.

Suddenly, an indescribable smell gushed out.This smell is not a pure stench, but an extremely pungent and disgusting smell mixed with stench.

In Li Zhiyun's words, this smell can be compared with the excrement and urine during diarrhea.

"vomit"

Several craftsmen didn't hold back, covering their mouths and retching.

Yuwen Rutong also pinched his nose, and said to Li Zhiyun: "Your Highness, do you want me to have the jar taken away?"

"No need."

Li Zhiyun waved his hand, endured the stench and walked forward to observe the quality of the soil and fertilizer.

The appearance of the soil chemical fertilizer is very different from what he made in experiments in his previous life, but considering that there are no additives, he can understand it.

"I don't know how it works." He murmured.

Seeing that His Royal Highness can bear it, the others will naturally have to endure it too.After Yuwen Rutong barely got used to the smell, he came over and said, "According to His Highness's instructions, I use cow dung, sheep dung, chicken dung and human dung, one hundred catties each, and mix plant ash, plaster powder, and water to make I took these five altars of soil fertilizers, but I don’t know how effective they are because they haven’t been used yet.”

To be honest, he still doesn't know what chemical fertilizer is. He only knows that His Royal Highness told him that this kind of thing can increase crop production.

Li Zhiyun ordered: "You will know how the effect is after a while. In the Wannian area, there will be ten hectares of upper field, ten hectares of middle field, and ten hectares of lower field. You can find a few experienced old farmers and ask them to follow the instructions I assigned. Your method, planting and fertilizing, will naturally know the effect in the harvest season."

"My minister obeys."

After reading it, Li Zhiyun hurried back to Chang'an.

Along the way, he was thinking about a problem.Soil chemical fertilizers will definitely be popularized throughout the world in the future, so the raw materials for soil chemical fertilizers must be sufficient.

Chicken manure is easy to say, but cow manure and sheep manure have a big question mark.

Not long after the world was first established, not every household could afford to raise cattle and sheep.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun has only one choice left, a choice that kills two birds with one stone.

That is inexhaustible human excrement and urine!
Wude Hall.

Jing Zhaoyin, Dugu Huai'en and Chang'an Ling Pei Xuanji were summoned by the prince and hurried over.

"Chen Dugu Huai'en, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Minister Pei Xuanji, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Zhiyun put down the memorial, looked up, and said, "You two lovers are welcome."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Zhiyun said: "The two lovers are called here because I have something to entrust to you."

"Your servant is waiting to listen." The two bowed slightly.

Li Zhiyun said: "The lonely father said that Chang'an is the most benevolent place in the world, the ancient capital of thousands of years, the location of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the foundation of the country. Therefore, with the atmosphere of Chang'an, one can get a glimpse of the atmosphere of the world. A city How can you rule the world if you don't rule it, how can you manage thousands of sects if you don't care about one family.

I summoned the two Qing families alone to pay them the heavy responsibility of rectifying Chang'an. I hope that the two Qing families will work hard and don't be disappointed. "

Dugu Huai'en cupped his hands and said: "Please give orders from His Royal Highness, I will do my best."

Li Zhiyun said: "There is nothing else but neat and tidy. Looking at the people of Chang'an alone, if they change their clothes in a hurry, they will turn into changing rooms all over the place. This is not advisable. Han Feizi said that he knows what he sees. It is okay for one person to change clothes in a hurry, but if ten thousand people change clothes quickly If you change clothes in a hurry, Chang'an will be uninhabitable.

Since the previous dynasty, most of the excrement from changing clothes has been placed in the Weihe River. If things go on like this, the Weihe River will not be usable.Therefore, I decided to order the two Qing families to build a public dressing room in Chang'an, and use special personnel to clean up the excrement. This will make Chang'an clean and tidy. What do the two Qing families think? "

Do you spend a long time building a locker room?
Dugu Huai'en had a strange expression on his face, and immediately asked, "May I ask Your Highness, where should the feces in this public locker room be placed?"

There are also public toilets in Chang'an City, but the number is relatively small, and it does not meet Li Zhiyun's needs for collecting feces. He needs to transform public toilets.

Li Zhiyun said: "I have ordered Yuwen Rutong to make soil and chemical fertilizers. This excrement and urine are the main materials. In the future, the excrement can be handed over to Yuwen Supervisor."

Having said that, Li Zhiyun coughed.

I feel sorry for him for turning the dean of his science academy into the head of the excrement station.But fortunately, this is only temporary.

When the results of the soil fertilizer experiment come out, it will be promoted to the common people. At that time, people will naturally clean up the manure and bring it back to make soil fertilizer.

Just like Quyuanli, the imperial court directly opened up the production skills, and now folk craftsmen can easily make it, and there is no need for the imperial court to open up a special department for making Quyuanli.

Why is it said that building a public changing room kills two birds with one stone, because it can not only collect feces and urine, but also relieve the pressure on urban sanitation.

Chang'an, the land of the first good, the most prosperous city in the known civilized world, of course it must be clean and tidy!

Li Zhiyun doesn't want to step on shit when he walks in the future.

Pei Xuanji asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, what are soil fertilizers?"

He had never heard of this word.

Li Zhiyun waved his hand and said, "You will know about this in the future. Now, take the lonely blueprint and go to Chang'an East and West City to build a public locker room."

In terms of the flow of people, it must be the commercial area and the red light district that are the largest, and it is most suitable to build toilets there.As for other squares, there is not much need.

Because there are many noble families in Chang'an, and every household has a dressing room.If public toilets are built everywhere, when the wind blows, the smell of Chang'an is unimaginable.

The public locker room transformed by Li Zhiyun is based on the public toilets of rural schools thousands of years later.

There are tunnels, and there are urethras.

Of course, only the men's locker room.

Li Zhiyun does not distinguish between men's and women's locker rooms, and mainly considers women.After all, this is a feudal dynasty, and many things cannot be eliminated at all.

Not everyone is a gentleman.

If you encounter a crazy animal and break into the women's changing room, then it will be a case.

Therefore, it is better for women to settle in each family.

As for the country?

The sky is big and the earth is big, play freely.Separate men and women, but limit human beings.

Dugu Huai'en and Pei Xuanji were ordered to go down.

Afterwards, Li Zhiyun also sent orders to Yuwen Rutong, asking him to arrange for someone to collect manure and make soil fertilizer.

When Chang'an is on the right track, soil and chemical fertilizers will be promoted, and other cities in Datang, such as Luoyang and Jinyang, will definitely have to build public changing rooms.

Again, it is the county of the state, and then it is popularized to the local small counties.

When the common people know how to make soil and chemical fertilizers, maybe local villages will also set up public changing rooms.

The materials needed for soil fertilizer, whether it is human excrement, plant ash, or water, are all common things, so there is no need to worry about insufficient materials.
