Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 58

The next morning, the sun rose, and its soft light spread like golden powder on the ancient and mottled streets of North Langfang. Every inch of brick and stone and every ravine came to life under the touch of the sun.

The dust on both sides of the street seemed to be summoned, and an insignificant but vital dust dance danced between the interplay of light and shadow.

Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian stood side by side, and beside them was a man with an unfamiliar face. His eyes were bright and full of expectation and enthusiasm.

Li Dexian's eyebrows trembled slightly, and there was a hint of unnoticeable tension and discomfort in the corners of his eyes.

He slowly turned his eyes, taking in everything around him. The scenery here was far from the blueprint he had in mind. What he yearned for was the bustling and bustling Yangqu County or the dazzling downtown area in the inner city of the capital.

But with the North Langfang displayed in front of him at this moment, he couldn't find the right words to describe the gap in his heart.

He turned his face sideways and faced Lin Xiaofeng, with confusion and disappointment in his eyes, "Brother Lin, is this the place you chose?" There was a hint of disappointment in his voice that could not be concealed.

Lin Xiaofeng's face was full of pride, with a confident and cunning curve at the corner of his mouth, and a hearty laugh, "Your Highness, please take a closer look, this is the treasure land I have chosen. I can guarantee it, even if it is within the capital, no matter what Even if I search, I can’t find a place that can beat this place!”

After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng pointed to Li Yunlong beside him and motioned for him to step forward to explain. Li Yunlong instantly put on a full smile and bowed deeply to Li Dexian. Lin Xiaofeng formally introduced: "Beilangfang is under the jurisdiction of the Beicheng Army and Horses Department. This Lord Li is the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Department. Lord Li, please personally explain the situation of Beilangfang to His Highness the Crown Prince."

At the end of his duty last night, Lin Xiaofeng went straight to Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Department to say hello without stopping at all.

You must know that although the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is responsible for many responsibilities such as public security and stability, fire fighting and disaster prevention, urban management and even market supervision in the capital area, it seems to be mighty and majestic, but in fact it is a yamen with too much power and an embarrassing status. Often overlooked.

Positions such as Commander of the Military and Horse Division, although nominally holding the title of Sixth Grade, were in reality often occupied by relatives of concubines and concubines in the palace. Most of the time, they were only in name and did not actually participate in government affairs.

Li Yunlong is not a relative of the emperor. He has risen to this level step by step based on his own talents and tenacity. This is probably the ceiling that he can reach in his career.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity provided by Lin Xiaofeng to showcase his talents.

He carefully took out a dossier from his arms and presented it to Li Dexian respectfully, preparing to tell the story of North Langfang in detail and his intentions in governing this area.

"Your Highness, the prototype of North Langfang began five years ago when the war was raging. At that time, a large number of displaced people flocked to the capital. In order to properly accommodate them, the nearby Shufang Market came into being at this time." Li Yunlong His tone was filled with the accumulation of history and the weight of responsibility, "Because of its hasty start-up stage and lack of financial resources, it looks simple or even shabby at first glance."

"However, after five years of hard work, North Langfang has been improved in many aspects, and it is no longer as crude as it was back then. Today, North Langfang has more than 20 restaurants..." He paused for a moment, as if to give The audience was left with room for aftertaste, "In addition, there are many shops, inns, and stalls lined up, everything you need."

Just when Li Yunlong was about to further describe the prosperous scene of North Langfang, Lin Xiaofeng interrupted at the right time, like a calm spring washing away the heated narrative atmosphere, "Master Li, why don't we put aside these trivial matters in life for the time being, and let us go directly to the topic. Your Highness, would you like to report on the recent security situation here?"

A trace of unconcealable embarrassment flashed across Li Yunlong's face, like fallen leaves swaying in the autumn wind. After all, he succumbed to reality and had no choice but to pick up the pile of files on his desk again and flip through page after page. .

His fingertips danced between the yellowed pages, but what he read out was frowning data: "Reporting to Your Highness, last month, a total of 177 theft cases occurred in the North Langfang area. , which also included twelve outright robberies..."

Li Yunlong listed various criminal facts one by one like a treasure trove, just like uncovering layers of scars hidden under the calm surface, causing Prince Li Dexian's complexion to gradually darken. As a future king, he has long been familiar with the sufferings of the people, but hearing these cold numbers with his own ears still shocked him and deeply shocked him.

"In addition, the total number of fights and fights reached 239..." Li Yunlong continued to report.

"That's enough!" Li Dexian suddenly interrupted Li Yunlong's words. His face was as serious as iron at this moment. "Such a chaotic and disorderly public security situation with rampant banditry is simply unacceptable. It is difficult for people to sit back and ignore it." He His words revealed a firm determination and a sense of urgency to improve people's livelihood and public security.

Facing the prince's majesty, which was as heavy as a boulder, Li Yunlong suddenly became like an autumn leaf caught in the frost. Even his breathing almost froze, but deep down in his heart, he felt like he was carrying a wildly jumping rabbit. The uneasy and fearful emotions were in his chest. Overflowing. He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince's profound understanding of the security situation here indicated that they were about to face more severe challenges and mountain-like pressure.

Li Dexian's eyes were like an unsheathed sword, piercing Li Yunlong mercilessly, and his words were as cold and hard as the cold wind on a winter night: "Old Lin, you brought me here specifically to let me see this mess. situation?"

An unfathomable smile formed on the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's lips. He did not respond directly, but at the moment when no one noticed, he quietly stuffed a heavy banknote into Li Yunlong's cuff. Li Yunlong's body suddenly shook, as if an invisible electric current was flowing through his body, and his awe for Lin Xiaofeng instantly rose to a whole new level.

Lin Xiaofeng's face was gentle, and his words were elegant: "Master Li, I will remember all your hard work today. In the next inspection mission, His Highness the Crown Prince and I will go through it in person. It is expected that the palace will be in the palace in the near future. There will definitely be a holy decree coming soon, and I’m afraid Mr. Li will need to pay more attention to it in the future.”

When Li Yunlong heard this, he felt as if he was walking on a rugged mountain road. Suddenly, there were twists and turns. The predicament in front of him seemed to have found a glimmer of hope, and his extremely tense nerves gradually relaxed. Deep down in his heart, he had a completely new understanding of Lin Xiaofeng. Although it was widely rumored that Lin Xiaofeng was ruthless and decisive, the man in front of him at this moment was not arrogant or domineering at all. He showed elegance and grace in every gesture, and he was even more delicate and considerate in his dealings with others, which was especially rare. However, he actually gave subsidies to his subordinates in private. This kind of behavior is really rare.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunlong approached Lin Xiaofeng's ear and lowered his voice to remind: "Mr. Lin, if you want to go to North Langfang for inspection in person, I have something to tell you. The group of feces diggers there has formed a powerful force. If If you take any rectification actions, be sure to treat them with caution."

After leaving these words, Li Yunlong left quickly, his footsteps echoing in the empty lobby, gradually getting farther and farther away. When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously very satisfied with the effect of this "investment".

He turned to face Li Dexian and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, I have a habit of only dealing with wealthy gentry. I wonder if you carry some scattered silver with you?"

"..."

Li Dexian's cheeks instantly turned as red as a cooked lobster. He waved his hands and his voice was full of complaints: "Lin Xiaofeng, this place you chose is simply a forgotten frontier place. How can I perform in a place like this?" ambition?"

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were determined and he looked directly at Li Dexian without any fear: "Your Highness, a real hero can open up a vast territory even if he starts with a bowl of light soup. Now, you are just appointed to manage a city. And with a capable assistant like me, what’s the problem?”

He looked around, and rows of extremely simple dwellings, as well as the figures of common people with sallow faces, appeared one by one in front of his eyes. His voice was full of passionate emotion: "Look at these people, how urgently their lives need to change. They place all their hopes on you!"

Li Dexian's face softened slightly, but still with a bit of reluctance, and he murmured in a low voice: "It may be bearable in the short term, but if I stay in such a dirty and messy place for a long time, it will be even more boring than staying in the East Palace. "

"Those who do nothing in the East Palace are not worthy of being my colleagues!" Lin Xiaofeng retorted resolutely, his words full of encouragement and encouragement for Li Dexian.

"Okay! Okay!" Li Dexian waved his arms, as if trying to drive away an annoying mosquito or fly, but at this time, the previous resistance in his voice had faded.

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he was secretly happy. He knew that his chance had come. He took the opportunity to put his arm around Li Dexian's shoulders, with a sly smile on his face: "Your Highness, actually you don't have to worry. From the first time I saw you, I knew you had the potential to become a saint. Do you want to Do you want to build your own glory on the ruins with your own hands, or do you just want to live a comfortable life under His Majesty's shelter?"

His words seemed to have some kind of magic power, making Li Dexian's eyes gradually become fiery. Lin Xiaofeng continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Imagine when you walk down the street one day and the people cheer and pay tribute to you, how does that feel? But if all this glory is attributed to your father, you are just You are a lucky man who is sitting back and enjoying everything, what do you think in your heart?"

At this point, he paused deliberately. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet. He took out a wad of silver notes from his arms and waved them in front of Li Dexian's eyes: "What's more, Your Highness, don't forget, I am a rich man. As long as I am willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, this place You’ll be looking brand new tomorrow!”

"Also! We can @#￥%...&"

Li Dexian was still a young man at heart. When the grand vision was spread out in front of him, his complexion gradually turned from pale to slightly rosy, and a fresh vitality seemed to bloom quietly in his body. With a blazing light in his eyes, he said excitedly: "What you said makes some sense, so where should we start?"

Lin Xiaofeng's fingers gently slid through the air, and finally pointed to the bustling but somewhat messy street. There was a firmness in his words that could not be ignored: "Look at this land, how it longs for a thorough combing. Our first priority , is to restore the cleanliness here, so start by cleaning this street."

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's lips, and he noticed an old broom lying in the corner, and teased: "Oh, there is a broom in the corner over there. Is your Highness willing to experience it for yourself? Can you sweep the floor?" ?”

Hearing this, Li Dexian raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of arrogance and disdain in his eyes. He glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, with obvious doubts in his words: "How can I condescend to sweep the streets? Old Lin, you can't even think of saying this. It’s my entertainment. Looking at the idle look on your face, I’m afraid you don’t know how to sweep the floor!”

Faced with Li Dexian's provocation, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled indifferently, and said in a calm but powerful tone: "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I once drank swill in order to survive, so what's the big deal if I just sweep the streets?" Do you have the guts to try it?"

"Swill?" Li Dexian's face suddenly froze, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "Can people eat that kind of thing?"

Lin Xiaofeng snickered secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Li Dexian gritted his teeth and said loudly: "It's just sweeping the streets. Isn't it hard for me to live with such a small thing? Just wait here for a while and see how I respond."

After finishing speaking, Li Dexian took long strides and walked straight towards the broom in the corner. Lin Xiaofeng stood leisurely with his arms folded, looking like a chess spectator, looking forward to the good show that was about to take place. For this middle school boy, sometimes, only through practice can he understand the true meaning of life.

As a prince, although Li Dexian has a good character, he was born in a deep palace and grew up in wealth. Although he shows a bold and free attitude on weekdays, once he comes into contact with these real menial tasks, his true colors will most likely be revealed. .

Today is an excellent opportunity for the young prince to experience the fireworks of the world and get rid of his unworldly squeamishness.

At this moment, Li Dexian clenched his broom and waved it in the middle of the street. In an instant, dust flew up like a sudden sandstorm, causing pedestrians passing by to frown and curse.

"What kind of unscrupulous bastard makes such a big noise in broad daylight!"

"I'm going to report it to the police. This troublemaker must be arrested!"

"You brat, are you looking for death?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the chaotic scene created by Li Dexian and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves, then slowly walked to the corner, ready to enjoy the next scene.

Not long after, Li Dexian's anxious and frightened cry came from the dust: "Old Lin! Old Lin!"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard the sound, he immediately rushed forward to check, but the dust and fog were too thick, so he could only retreat temporarily.

When the dust settled, the scene in front of me was both sad and hilarious. Li Dexian held the broom in one hand and leaned on it like a broken reed. His face was horrified and his voice was crying: "Old Lin, I... I seem to have stepped on feces!"

Lin Xiaofeng: "..."

··················································

In the context of the transition between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the prosperous Kyoto and Beijing concealed a major issue that was ignored but related to people's livelihood - the sparse number of toilets has become an embarrassing scar that cannot be covered up in the city.

Just as flood-prone areas need to focus on dredging rivers instead of blindly building dams to block them, the solution to the toilet problem lies in reasonable drainage rather than simple bans.

Due to the shortage of toilets, the streets and alleys of the capital often become open-air sewage dumps. Human and animal feces are intertwined in the place. corner.

"Yanjing Miscellaneous Notes" describes this unsightly scene in detail: Passers-by are used to urinating everywhere, and women openly place toilets on the street, and the urine of horses and cows is mixed in, making the already filthy road surface To make matters worse, the stench reaches the sky and is shocking.

There is also a similar narrative in "Miscellaneous Notes of Old Beijing": Although the government has strictly prohibited this and punished it, such bad habits are hard to get rid of, and even some officials themselves are not immune to it and openly do it on the road.

Even at the peak of the glory of the feudal empire, during the Qing Dynasty, various places, including Jingjiang Kingdom, had little effect on improving toilet problems.

Lin Xiaofeng, who had recently traveled to this time and space, was frightened by the cruel reality that plagued people's lives as soon as he landed on the ground, and was filled with doubts. He secretly encouraged himself that as a man of destiny, he would be able to overcome obstacles and turn danger into safety.

However, when he stepped into the dilapidated so-called "toilet" for the first time and witnessed the disgusting scene, his mental defense collapsed instantly. He had to admit that the world after traveling was far from his ideal paradise.

"What the hell time travel!" he roared angrily, with unbearable humiliation and indignation flashing in his eyes, "How can people maintain their dignity when they don't even have a decent toilet!"

Time flies, and several years later, Lin Xiaofeng resolutely launched a "toilet revolution" in Yangqu County without fear of hardships. He firmly believes that only by fundamentally changing the poor sanitary conditions can people's quality of life be truly improved.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of his friend Li Dexian accidentally stepping on a piece of dirt, and the familiar painful memory suddenly came to his mind. He couldn't help shaking his head, smiling bitterly, and sighed softly: "It seems that we still need to continue to overcome this toilet problem."

Li Dexian couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Lin Xiaofeng: "Oh my god, this place is really not for humans!"

Lin Xiaofeng was about to step forward to comfort him, but suddenly found four notorious street gangsters approaching Li Dexian step by step. His heart suddenly sank, filled with worry.

This group of people all look like bullies with rough faces and gnarled muscles. They clenched their fists and cursed incessantly: "Boy, make this place dirty. I wonder if I won't teach you a lesson!"

Li Dexian sensed that the crisis was approaching. Although he was frightened in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and put on a defensive posture.

Lin Xiaofeng rushed forward without hesitation, with a firm and resounding voice: "Come to me if you need anything!" His figure looked particularly tall in the sun.

The villains turned around when they heard the sound, locked their fierce gazes on Lin Xiaofeng, pressed forward step by step, bared their teeth and roared: "What did you just say? Say it again if you dare!"

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's world was like a sudden change, his heartbeat was beating wildly, and it was as if he could hear the violent drumbeat in his chest. "Damn it, I forgot to carry that guy Xie Hongxin when I went out today. I dared to dance with them with swords and guns one on one. Now it's okay. Four on one. What should I do?" His eyes were bright and clear in this place. He was swimming quickly on the mirror-like ground, secretly cursing in his mind that this piece of land was so flat that he couldn't even find a stone for self-defense, which was cleaner and more flawless than his face.

Li Dexian looked on anxiously, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing the four black figures surrounding Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes began to wander aimlessly. Finally, his eyes were drawn to an indescribable object at his feet, as if he had found a life-saving straw. He burst out with an earth-shattering roar: "You bunch of bastards, that's it!" Then he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and a fierce force surged out from the bottom of his heart. Immediately afterwards, he kicked the ground hard, like an arrow from a string, and swung hard towards the indescribable thing. In an instant, it was like an exploding cannonball, flying in all directions with a disgusting smell, directly towards the target. Refers to those four arrogant gangsters.

When the gangsters heard Li Dexian's voice, they all turned their heads to look, only to see a filth covering the sky like raindrops, drowning them in an instant, and rushed straight to the door, covering their heads and faces, and they were in a miserable state.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng was behind the four people and managed to escape the sudden attack. He witnessed all this with dumbfounded eyes, admiring Li Dexian's kick deep in his heart, as if he was witnessing a ridiculous football match, but instead of football, there was something unspeakable.

A gangster wiped the unknown object from his face with trembling hands, sniffed it close to his nose, and said blankly: "Brother, this is... dada."

"Ah! Fuck! @#￥%...!" The gangster leader's face was livid and his heart was burning with anger. However, the situation was out of control at this moment, attracting the attention of the street patrol officers. In desperation, they could only curse incessantly, turn around and run away in confusion. Seeing this scene, the other boys also followed behind in fear.

Lin Xiaofeng stared at Li Dexian with deep respect, thinking in his heart: With this foot power, he will form a football team for him in the future. I am afraid this will be the first strange team in history to use feces as the ball. It can be called An alternative interpretation of the Eternal Emperor!

Li Dexian's face was stern, and he jumped over on one leg. On his raised leg, his shoes were stained with bits and pieces of ancient Chinese medicine dregs. Lin Xiaofeng wanted to hide his nose and hide, but he remembered Li Dexian's sacrifice of his own life just now and put down his hand.

He stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness is very skilled. Are you okay?"

Li Dexian shook his head indifferently and responded calmly: "I don't want to stay here for a moment longer. I want to go back to the palace! This leg, that's all, let it be broken!"

After finishing speaking, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. Lin Xiaofeng looked at this dramatic scene and sighed in his heart: What a bad start!

Lin Xiaofeng's expression was tense and determined, like the protagonist of a big drama, and he spoke the philosophy of life: "Li Dexian, look at this life, it is like a big drama, with highs and lows, how can it always be smooth? The stumbling blocks we are encountering now are just part of the drama, so why bother getting stuck in them and finding it difficult to extricate yourself?"

He stepped forward quickly, grabbed the hesitant Li Dexian, and stepped straight into the store regardless of the disdain and disdain on the face of the clothing store owner behind him.

The boss's eyes and brows were filled with dissatisfaction, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't seem to see it. He just rummaged through the dusty clothes and finally selected a new set of clothes suitable for Li Dexian.

Li Dexian calmly accepted this series of actions and allowed Lin Xiaofeng to help him take off his old clothes and put on new ones.

When he was wearing brand new clothes, he was sitting weakly on the threshold, his eyes were empty and blurred, as if he was staring at the distant ends of the world, and his mind had already drifted to the sky.

The shop owner originally planned to wave his arms to drive away these two seemingly down-and-out young men, but the one tael of silver thrown by Lin Xiaofeng instantly won him over to a smile. He frowned, nodded hurriedly, and stopped meddling.

Lin Xiaofeng sat down next to Li Dexian, and his heart was in turmoil. He knew that the prince, who had been tightly wrapped up in the prosperity and dignity of the palace, was suffering an unprecedented tremor in his heart at this moment.

Time seemed to stand still, and Li Dexian remained silent for a long time, with only the wind gently blowing the tips of his hair.

Lin Xiaofeng's voice was gentle but tough: "Your Highness, life will inevitably have ups and downs, so don't criticize yourself too much." He told the ancient fable - a blessing in disguise, maybe today's difficulties will be a turning point tomorrow, Some people may even like the feeling of being reborn from adversity. For example, if we sell shoes in the future, wouldn't you be the best user experience officer?

However, when Li Dexian heard these words, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he was being stung.

There was an awkward silence between the two again. Lin Xiaofeng realized that this situation could not last long, so he stood up and left.

Not long after, he returned with two bunches of red-tinted candied haws, and handed one of them to Li Dexian: "Try these sweet candied haws first, and then I will take you to enjoy a sumptuous meal. First Warm up the appetite.”

Li Dexian took the candied haws and bit it hard with his teeth. His voice was so low that it was almost full of grief and anger: "I used to want to be a wise monarch, but now I have been marked with such shame. All this is because of you." Gifted!" His words were full of sorrow and unwillingness.

Lin Xiaofeng tried her best to calm down his emotions and comforted him: "Your Highness, this matter is only known to you and me. As long as you don't mention it, who else in the world will know about it? Why let it become a stone in your heart?"

After hearing this, Li Dexian slowly turned his head, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "Okay, I will strangle you to death with my own hands, and then everything will be over!" Lin Xiaofeng could only smile helplessly after hearing this. The prince was really in such a mood. Children's faces in June will change as soon as they are told.

Li Dexian sighed deeply again, with a decisive tone: "I will never set foot in Beilangfang again. My life will probably be ruined here."

Faced with Li Dexian's negativity, Lin Xiaofeng was extremely anxious and couldn't help scratching his head: "Your Highness, this is just a small setback. Are you ready to admit defeat so easily? How can the road to entrepreneurship be smooth and smooth? It would be unavoidable to talk about failure just after starting. It’s too pessimistic!”

"..."

Lin Xiaofeng encouraged Li Dexian with all his strength: "You have to stand up! In my eyes, you are a resolute and strong man. How could you be defeated by such a trivial matter?"

"..." Li Dexian remained silent, his face full of confusion and struggle.

Lin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and made the final decision: "Let's do this, I'm willing to give you one hundred taels of silver, as long as you can show a smile!"

When Li Dexian heard this, he trembled slightly, just like the autumn wind blowing through the fallen leaves, cold and distant.

He stretched out his thin palm, took the bank note full of heavy promises, glanced at it expressionlessly, and then, as if being gently provoked by an invisible force, the corners of his mouth formed a curve that looked like a smile but not a smile. .

This smile, against the dappled sunlight in the corner, looked particularly deep and unpredictable.

"There's a show!" Lin Xiaofeng felt happy and continued: "Another hundred taels of silver!"

"Another hundred taels of silver!"

"Another hundred taels of silver!"

……

As the banknotes were handed to Li Dexian one by one, the smile on Li Dexian's mouth became more and more natural.

･･････････････････････････

After a day of hard work, Lin Xiaofeng relied on his perseverance in eloquence to finally get the prince to change his mind and avoid being humiliated by this trivial matter.

The next day, the sun began to shine and the three of them walked together. Lin Xiaofeng, the prince, and Xie Hongxin once again set foot on the stone road in North Langfang that was covered with traces of time.

In order to prevent Li Dexian's identity from causing unnecessary trouble, he still kept his name anonymous and walked in the world as Zheng Dexian.

Lin Xiaofeng, on the other hand, always adheres to the disguise of "Mr. De" and plays his role quietly.

The daily affairs on the streets are all left to the shrewd and capable Li Yunlong to handle. With such a clever layout, many trivial and complicated matters were solved smoothly.

Standing on the bustling street, Li Dexian frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He turned to Lin Xiaofeng and asked: "Old Lin, why do you think people in this world insist on relieving themselves in the streets?"

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were indifferent, as if he was observing all the changes in life and he answered calmly: "It's just because of the word 'convenience'."

Time flies. Although the public toilet facility has sprouted in the long history, its real widespread use among the people can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, in North Langfang, although there are public toilets occasionally standing in the streets and alleys, they are few in number and cannot meet the needs of many people.

Those who don't care about details often urinate in inconspicuous corners, leaving a series of marks.

Even though there are sewers, drainage channels and other facilities in the capital, the actual performance is not ideal.

People in the world always mistakenly believe that having such facilities solves the fundamental problem, but they don’t know that they are like blind paths in modern cities. They seem to be useful, but in fact they are useless.

If you rely too much on these facilities, you may get into trouble.

In the absence of scientific management and technical support, ancient sewer systems often got into trouble with siltation.

Moreover, the cleaning cycle is long, and a thorough desilting often only takes place every two or three years.

Whenever the rainy season comes, it becomes even worse. Even the sewage system in the capital was not immune to the disaster, and the scene was a mess when the floods occurred.

The situation in the era that Jingjiang Kingdom was living in was naturally more severe.

Therefore, the most feasible way is to rely on the hard work of dung pickers every day to transport the filth in the city out of the city one by one, bringing cleanliness to the urban and rural areas.
-

The mottled streets and alleys are like a frozen ancient painting. In one corner, the figures of Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian are like the only flowing brushstrokes in the painting, standing opposite each other.

The hustle and bustle of the surrounding market quietly solidified, and only the two of them performed vividly in this quiet market oil painting.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were like two shining obsidians, deeply embedded in his face, firm and profound, like the brightest star in the dark night, shining with irresistible light.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and that resolute smile was like a hammer wielded by a blacksmith, condensing unquestionable determination in the hammering. It was a power of faith that radiated from the inside out, as hard as iron. Unshakable.

"Your Highness, the top priority we are facing now is to lay a solid foundation behind this prosperous scene." Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a bell, melodious and profound, and every word seemed to be made of real gold that had been tempered for thousands of times, and had a ringing sound. , inspiring, “We should first promote the construction of public toilet facilities, and must assign dedicated personnel to clean them every day.”

"We must not let up on the sanitation of the streets and alleys, and we must make them spotless. As for other matters, we can take care of them slowly and proceed steadily."

When Li Dexian heard this, his brows furrowed, like a thick dark cloud blocking the sun, indicating his inner doubts and confusion about Lin Xiaofeng's views.

He stared at Lin Xiaofeng closely, with piercing eyes, and a slightly teasing and sarcastic smile on his lips: "Oh, Brother Lin, are you and I prepared to work on this shit thing? Why don't you do it? What about more glorious things? For example, demolition and reconstruction, or road renovation, I don’t believe that anyone would still defecate on our carefully laid stone roads!”

Faced with Li Dexian's doubts, Lin Xiaofeng did not show the slightest anger. Instead, he gave him a tolerant and patient smile. This smile was like the spring breeze blowing through the winter snow, melting away the cold barriers, and said gently but without losing force: "Your Highness's concerns are not unreasonable. The dilapidated residences are indeed in urgent need of renovation and renovation."

"However, although hygiene may seem trivial, it is related to the dignity and spiritual outlook of people's lives. Imagine that if people lose the pursuit of cleanliness in their hearts, then all the yearning for beautiful things will wither."

Lin Xiaofeng spoke earnestly and in a deep and powerful voice, as if she was revealing to Li Dexian a social truth that has been ignored by everyone: "More importantly, poor environmental sanitation is actually a breeding ground for diseases. Once we relax our vigilance, it may cause It has become a serious disaster, so this problem urgently needs to be properly resolved.”

When Li Dexian heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The original joking expression quietly faded away, replaced by a strong interest: "Oh? There are such serious consequences?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked solemn and said word by word: "Indeed, the improvement of environmental sanitation can be directly related to the reduction of crime rate. I already deeply understood this when I was in charge of Yangqu County. Opening the case files of the Military and Horse Division, The crimes are numerous and number in the hundreds, and the number is even greater, not including those who have not been reported.”

After hearing this, Li Dexian let out a contemptuous snort from his nose, with some doubt in his tone: "Where is the evidence?"

Lin Xiaofeng was neither impatient nor impatient, and said: "The evidence is in the actual cases of Yangqu County. Every change in the street and every improvement in public health have witnessed the significant improvement of the public security situation."

When Li Dexian heard this, a trace of irritation flashed across his face: "I won't accept this trick of yours. In terms of the days I spent in the capital, I have been here much longer than you did in Yangqu County. How can I be fooled by you so easily? "

He immediately turned to Xie Hongxin for confirmation: "Xie Hongxin, do you think Master Lin's words are reliable?"

Xie Hongxin's eyes were like a rusty sickle, gouging slantingly at Li Dexian's immature and public face. Deep in his heart, there was a surge of complex emotions towards this ignorant and frivolous little brother.
