Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Then the first step has been barely solved, and the second and third steps that need to be done next..."

Chapter 199 The Tang Dynasty Edition Flush Toilet

Sometimes Li You wonders if there will be any sung content in the ballads of later generations, such as "That spring, Li You drew a circle in Youzhou..." and so on. (book-house*0small-}say-+net)

But these are things to come later. The most pressing thing facing Li You at the moment is the toilet revolution that Li You wanted to start!

To be honest, this is also closely related to the renovation of the city's appearance. The urban sanitation of Youzhou has become so rotten that Li You can't stand it. It is really in urgent need of rectification!

And is this because Li You is too hypocritical or squeamish?

No... Really, whether as a traveler or as a prince who has lived in Chang'an since childhood, Li You can't stand the terrible environment where the streets are full of feces and urine!

There was a new regulation in the "Tang Lu Shu Yi", that is, "Zero Four Three" people are not allowed to sprinkle manure on the streets, and they need to be fertilized in a centralized manner.

That is to say, in the era before "Tang Lu Shu Yi" appeared, that is, when "Zhenguan Lu" was used, there were a bunch of people who were openly splashing dung on the street!

This is not a very uncommon thing. In medieval Europe, the situation was a hundred times worse than this. You may be drenched in feces and urine when you walk on the street.

Although the common people also know that manure water can be used as fertilizer, but how much excrement does each person have every day?It's just a drop in the bucket, but it stinks and gets sick all the time, so I can only get rid of it quickly.

If it is said that the excrement is piled together, who is the fertilizer?Who can use it?It's my own shit after all.

Therefore, due to various reasons, there are now a large number of people who are not particular about it, just throwing dung water on the streets!

Fortunately, the weather is cold now and the smell is not so heavy, otherwise Li You would really be living in the stench all the time.

"It's not just about hygiene anymore... When the weather gets warmer and bacteria grow in large numbers, maybe there will be a new outbreak!"

Li You only felt that the rectification was urgent, but fortunately, the general plan had already been formed in his mind.

Soon, the carpenter foreman who was in charge of making the Quyuan Plow was called to the Governor's House again.

This carpenter foreman was named Luneng, and Li You recognized his craftsmanship and called him to help.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do this time?"

As soon as he saw Li You, Luneng was very energetic.

You must know the importance of the curved plough last time, but even a carpenter who does not cultivate the land is very clear. After thinking that such a powerful weapon was born from his own hands, Luneng was so excited that he could not sleep for several days. !

This is something that can honor the ancestors!

"This is what you are going to build today," Li You handed him a drawn blueprint, "First build one in the Governor's Mansion and try it out to see how it works."

Luneng took the blueprint and looked at it for a while, his face full of doubts.

"Flush toilet? What is this?"

It was another thing he had never heard of before. Luneng only felt that after meeting His Royal Highness the King of Chu, his career as a craftsman for the past few decades was all in vain, and all the things he had built were unheard of.

"The process and principle are very simple and suitable for assembly line production. In short, it is a good thing to improve the experience and quality of toileting."

"Assembly line...production?" Luneng chewed the word blankly, and it was a new word that sounded unclear.

Although Lu Neng understood the following words, he was still very confused.

The so-called toilet, isn't that the case?How can it be improved?

However, Luneng believes that this is the same as the Quyuan Plough. After it is built, he will be able to know what is going on!

The flush toilet is indeed as Li You said, it is very simple to build, so a Tang Dynasty version of the super-era flush toilet will come out soon.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

During this period, Cheng Chumo and Ma Zhou also came to watch curiously. Since they experienced Quyuanli, they were very interested in everything Li You made.

"Two adults, this is the thatched hut built by His Highness Li You!"

Before Li You could speak, Luneng explained.

"what?"

Ma Zhou and Cheng Chumo were stunned when they heard the words, and their mouths opened in disbelief.

what?

What kind of thatched hut did the prince build when he had nothing to do? !

The thatched hut cannot be used to eat, and it is not as beneficial to the grain as the curved plough. At most, it only deals with the reincarnation of the grain.

Immediately, both of them became less interested.

Li You looked very dissatisfied and said, "Go, go, go... What do you know, this is called improving the experience and quality of life!"

Cheng Chumo pouted and said, "Actually, this hut doesn't seem to be useful. What kind of strange hut is this?"

I saw that standing in front of them was a wooden stake with a hollowed-out center, which was placed directly in the wooden cubicle, and there was something that looked like a water tank connected to the back, but the strangest thing was that from the water tank. There is also a small leather tube stitched with sheepskin between the stake and the stake.

Not only that, a large and small stone was blocked at the opening of the water tank, and the other end was tied with a rope, which was always connected to a small handle, for some unknown purpose.

"Now that the water tank is full, you can try it."

Seeing this, Li You smiled with satisfaction, and just wanted to step in and enjoy it, and then 5.6 suddenly retracted his feet.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Ma Zhou, Cheng Chumo and Luneng asked in unison, and Li You twitched.
