Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The servant chuckled: "This waste flows away through the pipes."

"Because Taoyuan County is at a high altitude, there is a large pit outside the county specifically for collecting waste. Some families without flush toilets also have dedicated waste collectors who transport it to the pit."

Guo Tianyang thought for a moment and quickly realized something was wrong!

"Every time you flush so much stuff, wouldn't the pipes at the end get blocked?"

The servant clapped his hands: "You're clever, sir! Actually, this pit isn't that big and it's not far from the downstream river! But they use a special waterwheel, which is said to use the power of the waterwheel to transfer the waste elsewhere."

"Transfer it where?"

"The next county over."

Emperor Jing: "....."

Guo Tianyang: "....."

The servant became more animated as he spoke: "Speaking of pipes, it's the biggest project in our county! The whole county worked on it for two whole years!"

"I was involved in it too, back then."

"Our county magistrate said! The cesspool must be far away from Taohua County, otherwise, over time, the dirt will sink into the ground and the water will taste bitter!"

"The water in our Taoyuan County is so good! So clear and sweet! People from the neighboring county come all the way to buy water to drink, we can't let them down!"

"The county magistrate is kind-hearted, he can't bear to see others not having good water to drink!"

Kind-hearted my ass! So, you dump the shit on someone else's property, leaving only your water sweet, and you still have the nerve to sell water?!

Guo Tianyang looked resentful. I've never seen anyone so cheap, even in the palace!

Emperor Jing's throat felt tight, and he felt nauseous. Could the bitterness of the water in the capital really be due to this?

"Alas, building the pipes was really not easy. Our county magistrate is even thinking about connecting them to the moat in the capital, since there are so many people in the capital anyway."

"If it weren't too far and the terrain too complex, and the waterwheel wasn't powerful enough, it would probably be done!"

Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang glared at each other!

This is just a different kind of shamelessness!

"Isn't this manure fertilizer just being wasted! Don't you grow crops?"

"We'll keep some, but our county doesn't make money from growing crops." The servant didn't notice their expressions and continued to introduce: "Our toilets here don't have toilet sticks, so we've prepared water guns and toilet paper."

As he spoke, he took out something that looked like a wooden faucet from behind the toilet.

"See, there's a handle here, you just press it and the water comes out."

The servant pressed the handle, and a stream of water shot out.

"This water gun has an independent water tank, filled with salt water. Our county magistrate said that salt water cleans better! All the inns in the county are equipped like this!"

"Someone will come to refill the salt water every morning, or if you need more, just pull the rope."

Guo Tianyang's eyes lit up! This is great! So convenient!

Emperor Jing covered his forehead, feeling dizzy. Washing your ass with salt water, how extravagant!

The servant then opened a hidden compartment next to the toilet, revealing a stack of white paper.

"After you're done, use this paper to dry yourself and throw it in the wastebasket. Someone will come to collect it. Also, we've already crumpled this paper, ask for more if you need it."

"Wipe your ass with paper!?"

Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang were both shocked!

Seeing their confusion, the servant explained: "Alas... Speaking of this paper, I'm really ashamed,"

"Our shop can only provide this kind of paper. It's still a bit hard to use. I heard that the paper used in the yamen is as soft as a face towel."

"By the way, if you use a public toilet outside, they all use this toilet paper. Our county magistrate doesn't allow the use of toilet sticks because he thinks they're unhygienic, so there aren't any in the county."

"There's something I have to tell you! When the county magistrate first promoted this toilet paper, many people didn't adapt. There's a fool named Zhang Biao by his side, who sews up people's buttholes if he sees them using toilet sticks!"

"Don't provoke him if you see him. He has a mole on his forehead, he doesn't look like much, but he's incredibly strong and not very bright!"

"The toothbrush and face towel are all laid out for you on the side. If you have any other questions, just call me anytime. I'll be going now!"

The two were already too shocked to speak, and their anuses tightened simultaneously.

Emperor Jing waved his hand weakly, dismissing the servant.

He turned his head and saw the toothbrush and face towel placed on the side.

There was even a mirror that he hadn't noticed!

Looking at his clearly visible reflection in the mirror, he saw some new wrinkles on his face and his temples were slightly gray.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. This mirror... it's also so magical!?

Then he gave a wry smile: "Am I, old?"

"Why is everything here something I've never heard of before...."

Seeing the servant leave, Guo Tianyang pounced on the hidden compartment like a mad dog, pulling out a full stack of paper and stroking it vigorously.

"Your Majesty! It's good paper! It's good paper! You can write on it!"

Emperor Jing glanced at the white paper and nodded: "I know. I'm tired. I'll find a chance to meet the local county magistrate tomorrow. I want to see what kind of extraordinary person can manage a small county like this!"

Taoyuan County Yamen, backyard

"Xiao Tao, your massage technique is far worse than the girls at Snow Moon Tower! Lighter, lighter!"

Fang Zheng was slumped in a deck chair, chewing on candied fruit, his words somewhat slurred.

Behind him was a charming maid, with bright eyes and a kind face.

The maid's name was Fang Yu Tao. She was an orphan Fang Zheng adopted sixteen years ago, and he gave her the name. Now she is sixteen years old.

Hearing Fang Zheng's dissatisfied voice.

Xiao Tao pushed him hard and said angrily: "Then go to Snow Moon Tower!"

"Okay... I'll go."

Fang Zheng got up lazily, then Xiao Tao pressed him back down.

She started pinching with force.

"Yes! Keep that pressure up."

Xiao Tao gritted her teeth and pinched hard. Zhang Biao walked in.

"Young Master! My men have news that the two merchants who just entered the city are here to do porcelain business."

"Should we bring them over!?"

Fang Zheng shook his head, dissatisfied, "Why the rush! Are you used to being a thief?"

"When the time comes, they will come looking for us themselves."

"Times have changed. Many of the county's industries are just starting out, and many things need to go out, and we need to be formalized!"

"If we cooperate with people and cause public resentment again, it won't be a long-term solution!"

"With my achievements, I can be promoted at any time. If some disgruntled guy goes out and blabs, wouldn't I go straight to the imperial court?"

"Zhang Biao, are you hoping I leave quickly!"

Zhang Biao grinned: "Don't worry, Young Master! No one can take you away. With Zhang Biao here, you will die in Taoyuan County!"

"Get out!"
