Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 163 What If You Use a Merchant! (seeking subscription)
The next day.

After class, Qin Luoheng went to find Ling Shijian.

Hearing Qin Luoheng's description, Shi Jian's eyes showed a strange color, and he said with a smile, "The public toilet you mentioned is actually from my Mohist school."

"It was invented by the giant."

"At that time, the world was attacking, and the walls of the cities were high and thick. A battle lasted for several months, and sometimes it was not less than a year and a half. Knowing this, he came up with the idea of ​​setting up toilets in the city."

"That is to say, there is a toilet every fifty steps, the bottom of which is like a well, surrounded by a wall, and eight feet high"

"Ten years ago, General Li Xin attacked Chu, and I also joined the army. At that time, besides assisting in building offensive and defensive equipment, we mohists had another task. Every time we settled in a new camp, we had to design the public toilets you mentioned according to local conditions."

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

Ling Shi Jian looked at Qin Luoheng with a little puzzlement in his eyes.

Qin Luoheng said:

"The kid doesn't know this."

"Isn't the kid recently awarded a hundred acres of land by the government for his meritorious service? He wants to grow some food on the field, but there is a serious shortage of manure, so he wants to set up public toilets in the city to maximize the use of manure."

"The public toilet was indeed invented by the Mohist giant, and it was used to attack and defend the city, but there is no war at present. Why can't such a convenient public toilet be extended to the city? First, it will give the people of the world a place to defecate in the city, and second, it can also serve as a place for people to defecate. The surrounding area provides a lot of manure, which is also beneficial to increase food production.”

"Furthermore."

"The only clean city in the world is Xianyang."

"The reason why Xianyang is able to do this is because Shang Jun specially promulgated the decree back then."

"Other counties and counties do not have this qualification. There are many people who defecate anywhere, so the cities and towns are actually filthy, and epidemics will break out from time to time. If public toilets are set up in various counties and counties, it will indeed greatly improve the environment of cities and towns everywhere. "

"in addition."

"Ling Shi has never calculated how much manure a city can provide in a day. I did a rough calculation yesterday. Most counties only have more than a thousand households, and most of them have a population of less than [-]. The output of manure is as high as [-] jin."

"Most of these manures are defecated in streets, fields, under trees, and in ravines."

"After Daqin implemented the method of composting and retting, the demand for manure is very high, and the amount of fertilizer affects the yield of the field. If we can collect these 'manure' that no one pays attention to, it will not only benefit Daqin, but also benefit the world. Limin."

Shi Jian's heart moved slightly.

He secretly calculated in his heart.

Also startled.

According to Qin Luoheng's calculations, the manure produced in the world is as high as tens of millions of catties a day. Such a huge amount of manure, together with the green manure retting in various places, can basically guarantee the manure needs of all counties and counties, and solve the manure supply. Food production everywhere will undoubtedly increase greatly.

This is of great benefit to the world.

Ling Shijian looked at Qin Luoheng, and said with a fuss: "You are indeed different from others. Most of the other historians in the school focus on the way of governing and how to work hard on governing the place, but you can focus on the vulgarity of the people. place."

"Down to earth, not bad not bad."

Ling Shi Jian praised him.

Qin Luoheng said:

"It's really absurd to make history."

"I'm just a vulgar person, naturally focus on the present."

"I came to Ling Shi this time to ask Ling Shi to help me design public toilets. I don't know much about the layout of streets and alleys, and I don't know the actual structure of all lanes, so I need Ling Shi to help me with my research."

Ling Shijian nodded and said:

"It's okay."

"I've built this kind of public toilet before, and it's not too complicated, but the public toilets built in the past were only used in wartime, and the manure produced would not be transported out. Besides, Xianyang is the capital of the country, so we should pay more attention to its image. "

"I can do the design."

"It's just that you probably know that I'm just a Lingshi, and I can't reach the top in words and deeds. My Mohist family has also been on the decline in recent years, and I rarely have a job in the court. If you want to implement public toilets in Daqin, you need to find a way by yourself. "

"As for the differences in public toilets in various lanes in Xianyang, I will also design them for you."

Qin Luoheng hurriedly saluted.

"Thank you, Lingshi."

"I'll take care of the promotion myself."

Shi Jian nodded.

Qin Luoheng backed out.

The construction of public toilets is actually very simple.

The key is the distance between each public toilet, how not to affect the surrounding area, the allocation of public toilets in all lanes, and so on. That's why he came to Ling Shijian specifically.

Get out of the classroom.

Qin Luoheng also thought about it.

Who should I go to promote myself?

His first reaction was to find Huafu.

But soon.

He just shook his head.

Huafu is just a censor, and the matter of public toilets is not within his scope of functions. If he rashly intervenes in other officials' positions, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among other officials. Although he is close to Huafu, he is not good enough to make Huafu Futi is at his own risk.

Right now, there are only two people who can push the public toilet.

One is Nestern.

The other is Zheng Guo, the order of Datian.

Nei Shi Teng can decide the affairs of Xianyang City.

The Datian Order is related to food production, and both of them are capable of pushing public toilets, but he is not familiar with them.

a time.

Qin Luoheng also frowned.

back home.

Qin Luoheng took out the bamboo slips, thought for a while, wrote down the matter of the public toilet, and then left the residence in a hurry.

He didn't go to Nestern.

Instead, he went directly to Zheng Guo's mansion.

The matter of public toilets is of great benefit to Daqin. He is really unwilling to implement it only in Xianyang. In his eyes, it is time for spring plowing. If public toilets can be promoted nationwide, it will greatly increase food production.

The current Daqin is windy and windy, and the increase in grain production can stabilize the people's hearts to a certain extent.

In all fairness.

He didn't want Great Qin to be in chaos.

After searching for a while, he found Zheng's house.

Sure enough, Qin Luoheng was stopped outside the gate of the mansion, so he told Zheng Guo's servants that he was Qin Luoheng, the historian of Xianyang School, and he had something important to report to Datian Ling.

directly rejected.

Afterwards, Qin Luoheng also talked about saving Wang Jian and his son, which made the official officials in Zheng Guo's mansion look at him as high as he did, but he didn't allow him to go in for an interview, but agreed to send in the bamboo slips.

When Qin Luoheng saw the bamboo slips being sent in, he also stood outside the gate and waited.

Time passed little by little.

Waiting is the most exhausting.

He didn't get a reply, it was impossible for Qin Luoheng to say that he had no emotions in his heart, but his face was still calm.

He is very clear.

This is actually the normal state.

Daqin's military merit system divides people into three, six, and nine ranks. Those with high ranks are always superior. Daqin never recommends people with low status to leapfrog their ranks to petition.

It's just that Qin Luoheng was somewhat looking forward to it.

Time passed slowly.

Qin Luoheng said: "The article I wrote about public toilets is always beneficial to Datian Ling. As long as these ministers send it over, Datian Ling will still be moved when he sees it."

He cheered himself up.

After waiting outside for an unknown amount of time, Men Li walked out a young man with a weak crown. He said a few words to Li Chen at the door, and Li Chen looked at Qin Luoheng curiously.

Seeing this, Qin Luoheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man with a weak crown hurried forward, bowed and said: "Ah Weng is not in the mansion, and the documents under his feet are in the study room. I happened to go into the study room to look for things. Out of curiosity, I found this article. I asked Li Chen just now. Satisfied, I am Qin Shizi who has recently become famous."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After Qin Luoheng returned the gift and recommended himself, the young man suddenly said: "This is Zheng Ru."

Qin Luoheng cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you, Young Master."

"Go in and talk, please." Zheng Ru said.

Qin Luoheng gave way, and followed Zheng Ru into Zheng's residence.

The two of them passed through two doors and entered a spacious living room. Zheng Ru and Qin Luoheng were seated separately as guests and hosts, with officials and concubines beside them.

Just sit down.

Zheng Ru curiously asked about Qin Luoheng's medical skills, and Qin Luoheng answered a few words patiently. Although the two have different identities, they can generally get on with the conversation. After all, they are both less than twenty. A time of curiosity.

After chatting for a while, Zheng Ru talked about the document.

Said:

"I've seen Qin Shizi's document before, and it's written in detail about the public toilet. I don't know why Shizi sent the document to Zheng's residence?"

Qin Luoheng said:

"Naturally, there is something to ask for."

"The Datian Order is in charge of the world's land, and food production is the most important thing in the assessment. If public toilets are implemented nationwide, it will not only beautify the city, but also provide a lot of manure for the counties and counties, and increase food production. I would like to suggest to the Datian Order to promote it. The law of public toilets."

Zheng Ru was straightforward and said without hesitation: "Qin Shizi is sincere, but Qin Shizi should have heard that some time ago, the court discussed the land administration, and now the land has become a problem for the Great Qin, and other courtiers are avoiding it. Not enough."

"Recently, the three counties have implemented the new land policy, and Ah Weng is already very busy. If we continue to implement the law of public toilets in various places, with so many actions, even if the law of public toilets is beneficial to Daqin, it may cause a lot of criticism."

"I don't actually recommend pushing."

"Right now Xianyang's people are fluctuating, and it's uncomfortable to act. Shi Zi's suggestion is very good, but it's a bit out of date."

Qin Luoheng raised his eyebrows.

Puzzled:
"Currently, spring plowing is just around the corner. Most of the fields in Daqin are not fertile enough, but the method of public toilets can make up for it. Why would you say it's inappropriate?"

"I don't understand something."

Zheng Ru said:
"Shi Zi's thinking is too simple."

"Any policy implementation depends on people to implement it."

"We need people to build public toilets, people are needed to supervise the left and right sides of the country, and people are needed to carry manure. Now that spring plowing is approaching, even the guards have gone back. Then so many people come to build public toilets, to supervise the already irregular Lu Zuo? And how to distribute the manure after collection?”

"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources."

"There is no place to divide energy."

Qin Luoheng said:

"What your son said is very true."

"But I see it differently."

"It's true that the local government can't allocate so much manpower, but this is not something that can only be done by the local government. If the local government is only responsible for supervision, how about leaving the specific conduct of public toilets to the merchants?"

"Local planning and coordination, collective wisdom and efforts!"

"What do you think, son?"
