Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

There was a lot of discussion among the people. Although some literate scholars read it out, they didn't know what it was just by listening to it.

"Forget about the flush toilet, this thatched hut...how come there is a public one?"

Everyone was puzzled, but after seeing that it was developed and ordered by Li You, they all nodded in understanding.

"If His Royal Highness King Chu wants to do it, then there must be something we don't know about, right?"

If any of the ministers in the imperial court were here, they would definitely sigh involuntarily when they saw this. After experiencing the treatment of smallpox and Quyuanli, Li You's reputation in Youzhou has simply crossed over to the Youzhou of the past dynasties. The highest position in the history of the state governor!

As long as it's what Li You wants to do, even if it doesn't make sense, ordinary people will subconsciously think it's a great thing!

Chapter 202 Unprecedented

However, there is only one content in the announcement, which all ordinary people can understand.

"Recruiting people to lay pipelines, build public huts, provide short-term quick training, include a day's food, 30 cents a day..."

As soon as they saw the announcement, many people rioted.

"His Royal Highness is recruiting people to work?"

"30 cents a day...that's a good price!"

"And he also took care of the meal!? My God!"

"Just what is this short quick training?"

Amid the discussion, many people rushed to the gate of the government office immediately, which shocked the yamen officers.

"Sir, recruit me! I haven't had any income for many days!"

"Yeah! If it goes on like this, the family can't even afford rice!"

"Please recruit me, my lord! I am willing to endure hardship and have strength!"

Although they were surprised, the enthusiasm of the people was still within the expectations of the yamen.Because they know very well that since the smallpox epidemic, a large number of people have lost their source of survival and are about to go to the streets to beg.

There are new opportunities to work at this time, how can they not be crazy about it?

More than 200, not to mention the remuneration and treatment itself is very good!

"All quiet, all quiet, come one by one! All have a chance!"

The yamen can only desperately maintain order, register one by one, and then take them to the carpenters who have learned how to build flush toilets for training.

In fact, the content of the training is also very simple. After all, assembling this simple toilet does not require much technology at all, and you can watch it on the spot.

Soon, starting from Jicheng as the center, a vigorous toilet renovation activity quickly spread to the whole of Youzhou!

As the saying goes, more people are more powerful, not to mention the rich ones. Therefore, the construction of public huts is in full swing, and it will be close to completion in a few days.

During this process, even those ordinary people who did not participate in the construction often came to watch curiously, because they had never seen such a thatched hut.

The so-called thatched hut... Can there still be so many doorways?

And from the looks of it, it always feels more refined than the luxurious thatched cottages of many landlords and grandfathers! Because of the superposition of these various factors, as Li You expected, the public thatched hut was already famous in Youzhou before it was built.

It is because of the lack of entertainment means for the ancient people, so even if there is a little new thing, it can be said for a long time, not to mention that this flush toilet is something that has never been seen before, it is more than a little bit new.

……

Today is the last day of the construction of the public thatched hut.

Luo Hong got up early and didn't even eat, so he picked up his tools and prepared to go out.

"Alas, it's a good thing to pay 30 cents a day to take care of meals, but it will be gone after today."

Thinking of this, Luo Hong couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, he was the second shopkeeper of a small restaurant in Jicheng. Due to the influence of the smallpox epidemic, the small restaurant with no background quickly closed down, and Luo Hong's family was completely out of food.

The money and food borrowed from relatives and friends are almost completely exhausted, and now that everyone has no surplus food at home, how much can they give to Luo Hong?

Fortunately, at this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu announced this well-paid job. From this point of view, Luo Hong was very grateful to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Although the construction period was short, it at least solved his urgent need.

"His Royal Highness of Chu has come down to be the governor of Youzhou. It's really a blessing for me..." Thinking about it, Luo Hong couldn't help but sigh, "He is different from the fat-headed and fat-headed officials in the past, he is a practical man. Good officer!"

However, although he boasted so much, Luo Hong himself did not dare to say whether the public thatched hut he built with his own hands was a real thing.

With all the thought in mind, Luo Hong came to the construction site, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"How is this going……!?"

I saw that outside the public thatched hut, there were crowds of ordinary people, and everyone's eyes were shining with curiosity.

"Could it be because of this public hut?"

Luo Hong couldn't help but think, because the public thatched hut was actually built yesterday. Today's so-called last day is the ribbon-cutting day that the foreman said. It is said to be a special ceremony passed down by His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Although Luo Hong didn't know much about this ribbon-cutting ceremony, it would be good to have one more day's wages, plus his gratitude to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he felt that he must do what His Royal Highness ordered, so even if he could do everything. No need to do it, Luo Hong still carried all the tools on his back.

"Everyone be quiet!"

At this moment, an official came onto the stage and shouted.

It took a long time for the people to suppress the discussion and look at the official together.

"Today is the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the public hut, but there is one more thing to announce, and that is the rules for the use of this public hut."
