Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 406 Sewage and Fire

Whether above ground or underground, how to ensure the lives of residents when building a city must be a key issue that needs to be considered.

Perfect thought he had considered enough, including water supply, sewage disposal, ventilation, fire prevention, etc. when designing the underground city...

It can be said that she considered much more in every aspect than the city builders of that era.

However, even so, Perfect still felt that he had not taken some things into consideration, or underestimated the seriousness of some problems of this era.

The most prominent problem is not any other problem, but garbage.

It sounds a little unbelievable, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

After all, this is the Steam Age, which is equivalent to the 19th century in the original world. The rise of the First Industrial Revolution brought about the development of productivity, which made people's material life richer, but also caused more domestic waste.

It was also from this era that environmental pollution began to appear before people's eyes and became one of the headaches for urban managers.

Because Perfect was a time traveler, he knew the seriousness of the pollution problem from the beginning, so he put a lot of effort into designing the sewage disposal in the underground city, so this aspect was not a problem.

But Perfect didn't give enough consideration to the problem of domestic waste.

The era she lived in before she traveled through time was already an era where garbage needed to be sorted and disposed of, and the quality of ordinary people was also high. Things like littering, dumping sewage, and urinating and defecating anywhere had long disappeared.

But in this era... Although she has set up garbage stations on every street, it is obvious that some people are not used to throwing garbage into the garbage stations, but still pile them up in places like corners, or even throw them directly onto the streets.

This is true for garbage, and even more so for things like sewage and feces.

Although the underground city has sewers and sewage systems, some people's living habits are still relatively bad, or they are not used to living with toilets and sewers in their rooms, and they still dump waste into the streets as in the past.

Perfect didn't find this particularly difficult to understand. After all, even before she traveled through time, when she was a child, she had seen her family members pouring sewage or something directly at the door.

That was only a short thirty years away from the time she traveled through.

Perhaps this is a very long period of time for an individual, but for an era and the entire society, it is still just a short moment.

So Perfect was not angry about this. She just told the officials in charge of the management of the underground city to punish anyone who was caught littering or dumping sewage on the street.

As for the punishment standards, in addition to fines, they will also be forced to clean the streets for a week as a warning.

Not only that, a sanitation management fee needs to be collected for each street in order to hire specialized workers to clean the streets and remove garbage, rather than simply relying on the municipal sanitation department.

Although the work is done by the municipal sanitation department, the money is collected from the residents instead of relying on financial allocations from the municipal government.

The official in charge of the underground city management certainly did not dare to neglect the matter that Perfectcot had told him, and hurriedly assured her that he would deal with it seriously. At the same time, he also gnashed his teeth at those who littered. After all, it was because of these people that he was punished by Perfectcot, and it was because Perfectcot was in a good mood today that he did not punish him, otherwise the Northern Territory Lord would be very harsh to his subordinates.

This official had worked very hard to obtain the position of dungeon manager. He had been thinking about showing off in front of Perfecto today, but unexpectedly he almost made a fool of himself!

How could he not hate those who caused trouble for him?

Perfect noticed the official's mood, but she did not stop him or give him a warning.

Environmental sanitation in the underground city is a big problem. If it is not strictly managed, it is easy for bacteria to breed and diseases to spread due to rotting garbage and sewage problems.

After all, this underground space is not as good as the ground. Even if Perfectoct has made special designs, it is still not as good as the ground in terms of air circulation.

The problem of epidemics is prone to occur. If it is not strictly managed, problems will easily arise, and even serious consequences will occur.

Therefore, there is no harm in letting this official be stricter. As long as he does not take the opportunity to engage in corruption and extort heavy taxes from the people, Perfectok does not care what means he uses to enforce his orders.

When it comes to things like this, from the perspective of ordinary people, they definitely hope that the executors can enforce the law in a civilized manner and with a friendly attitude.

But from the perspective of law enforcement, whispering is often useless.

Especially in this era when the overall quality of the people is generally low, many people will not understand when you talk to them about reason.

They only recognize what they have been taught since childhood. If you tell them that things are not like that now, they will just think that you don't understand.

The better ones may pretend to obey you, but they will still do their own things behind the scenes.

In more serious cases, they may even deliberately go against you, thinking that everything you do is wrong and that their way is right, because that is how their ancestors have been doing it for generations.

When facing this kind of person, reasoning doesn't work, so you can only resort to more brutal means, using force and punishment to let the other party know what the rules are and what the price will be for not following the rules.

In addition to the garbage problem, Perfect also noticed that there were fire hazards in many places in the underground city due to problems such as lighting and heating.

Although fire prevention was taken into consideration when the dungeon was designed and built, Perfect was still worried, so he gave extra instructions to the officials who managed the dungeon.

"Sometimes it doesn't seem to be a problem, but the problems often lie in these small details, so you must be careful and attentive in your daily management, and never be careless. For fire hazards and bad fire habits, punish them if necessary, and put them in jail if necessary, and don't have any concerns." Perfectot finally said this to the management officials of the underground city, which was like giving the other party permission to act expediently.

After all, Perfecto knew that severe punishments had to be used in troubled times. Sometimes appropriate leniency was needed, but sometimes sufficient iron-fistedness and toughness were also needed.

The fire problem is precisely the thing that cannot be tolerated. Once a fire occurs in a place like the underground city, the consequences will be disastrous. What Perfectcot can do is to make city managers as vigilant as possible and eliminate all hidden dangers.
