After the time has entered May, the city of Chang'an is getting hotter and hotter every day.
The County Lord's Mansion where Luo Yong and the others lived was good, with a relatively high foundation.
When wealthy families built houses at this time, they liked to put a high earthen platform under the house, so even if it was only one floor, they would have to step in when entering the house.
Walking up a few steps, like the main hall in the palace, the foundation is particularly high.
Chang'an City is sweltering in the summer, and there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
A higher foundation would have the advantage of not only being cool and ventilated, but also not having so many bugs.
But that's the upper class.
Ordinary people can't build such a high platform when building houses, and it's not in compliance with regulations.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and the number of mosquitoes and flies is also increasing day by day.
As the head of a county, Luo Yong has been worried recently.
Once the number of mosquitoes and flies increases, it is easy to transmit some diseases, such as malaria. kind.
In fact, when Luo Yong and others popularized biogas digesters in Chang'an City, there was another side project, which was to fill in seepage wells.
The so-called seepage well means that some people dig a dry well in their yard, and then pour some domestic sewage with nowhere to go into the well, allowing it to seep into the ground.
This approach may seem clean in front of you, but it will seriously pollute groundwater.
In the early years, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty wanted to build Daxing City, which is the new city of Chang'an City where the Tang Dynasty lives today.
The well water is salty, is it still edible?
When Luo Yong and others were popularizing biogas digesters this time, they filled up the seepage wells of those households and told them to stop pouring sewage into the seepage wells and into the biogas digesters.
As for the biogas slurry produced in the biogas digester, because it has strong fertility, many people grow vegetables in their own yards, which can be used to fertilize the land.
As for those who do not grow vegetables at home, or who dislike the strong smell and do not like to use it, they can give the biogas liquid to others.
When it comes to fertilizers, the Central Plains people who are good at farming have always had enough.
In the past, there were people who collected excrement and urine in the city.
Now that the biogas tank is built, there is less excrement and urine, and most of it is collected in the city.
After removing the biogas pool, there are more biogas liquid and biogas residues.
It is easy to get the biogas liquid.
Each biogas pool is equipped with a hand press device, which can press out the biogas liquid without much effort.
Biogas residue is more troublesome.
The county government has posted a notice early on, saying that training is required to teach people how to get into the biogas tank to extract biogas residue, and those who want to learn should sign up early.
Luo Yong and others are building biogas digesters and filling seepage wells in Chang'an County.
Not only do they want to do it themselves, but they also want Wannian County to do it too.
After all, the city of Chang'an is divided into two sides, Wannian County in the east and Chang'an County in the west.
The drainage ditches are all connected together.
Only Chang'an County has done it.
If Wannian County doesn't do it, it won't be of much use.
Luo Yong talked about this matter several times in court, but he never achieved the desired result.
The magistrate of Wannian County thought he was nosy, and whenever he met Luo Yong when he was in court, he always looked disgusting, but Luo Yong didn't take it seriously and focused on filling the well.
This project is indeed necessary.
Although the current Chang'an New City is not as polluted as the old city in the past, there are already traces to be followed.
On the one hand, there are more and more mosquitoes and flies every summer.
On the other hand, there are several water channels in Chang'an City.
They are not drainage ditches, but channels that bring water in from the rivers outside.
The current situation of these channels is also polluted to some extent. .
On this side of Chang'an County, there are Cao Canal, Yong'an Canal, and Qingming Canal.
Nowadays, the water in these canals is not suitable for drinking, let alone drinking.
It is not suitable even for washing rice and washing vegetables.
In some places where the water is relatively clear, it is barely suitable.

It's fine for washing clothes.
Generally speaking, compared with later generations, this level of pollution is not particularly serious.
However, as the population of Chang'an City continues to increase and pollutants continue to accumulate, the level of pollution will inevitably increase.
Therefore, we should start to control it from now on.
It's still necessary.
If you just want to do these things, you will inevitably have to spend money.
Those people in the Ministry of Accounts are in charge of the money coming in and out of the entire national treasury.
They say they want money all the time, and others say they want money.
How can they give it to everyone?
, if it were to be so lenient, the treasury would have been empty a long time ago, so we are very stingy, and we usually don’t give money if we can.
But last time they said they had no money, but Luo Yong turned around and did something for them, which made everyone very upset.
As the saying goes, one learns from every experience, so this time they didn't tell Luo Yong that they had no money.
He didn't even say anything, just protested with silence.
After the last donation incident, although Luo Yong successfully obtained funds to promote biogas digesters in Chang'an County, it also damaged his personal image to a certain extent, making some old-timers in the DPRK and China dislike him.
The good-hearted person asked Luo Yong again during the banquet and asked him what he thought about this matter.
As a result, Luo Yong said: "Anyone who dislikes me because of such a trivial matter is not worth dating.
There is nothing to care about."
As a result, his words were spread quickly.
"Who the hell would want to date him?"
"It's really a bit too proud."
“I really treat myself as a treasure” "Look, if I give him another good look, my name will be written upside down." "" Luo Yong: He said it as if he had given me a good look before.
In fact, Luo Yong really doesn't care much about the attitudes of these people.
In addition to being concerned about the promotion progress of biogas digesters, he is more concerned about the application of steam engines in the textile industry.
Although this matter has not yet been realized, he knows that it will happen sooner or later.
Once this becomes a reality, it means that the price of cloth will drop a lot.
Many families who originally did not have a few pieces of cloth at home may be able to use a relatively small amount of coins or food in the future to buy enough for the whole family. of fabric.
In terms of results, this is certainly a good thing, but in this process of change, it will inevitably cause harm to some groups, such as some old-fashioned cloth mills, weavers, and many others other than spinning and weaving.
A woman with no talents.
What Luo Yong has to consider now is how to minimize this damage.
In Chang'anfang, south of Chang'an County, there is a family with the surname Ye.
The girl's name is Ayan.
She is in her twenties.
She was married earlier, but she had nothing to do.
She was divorced by her husband's family as soon as she wrote a letter of divorce.
The mother's family.
The courtyard of their home in Chang'anfang is quite large, and there are many people living there.
Chang'an City is not like a place in the countryside.
After the old man above passed away, the brothers separated their houses.
If the existing houses were not enough, they would find another place and build a new one.
The courtyard where their family lives in Chang'an City was during the previous dynasty, when Daxing City was newly built, and the entire old city moved here.
Ayan's grandfather's family, as residents of the old Chang'an City, were divided into the new city.
Got a house.
Later, Ayan's grandfather passed away, and her father and uncles and brothers still lived in this courtyard.
Later, the previous generation spread out, and many cousins appeared in the family.
Later, These cousins have nieces and nephews.

With such a large family living in the same courtyard, it is inevitable that there will be some quarrels on weekdays.
In addition, they are not from a wealthy family, and life is tight.
They are just barely making ends meet.
People like Ayan, who was divorced by her husband's family, Those who returned to their parents' home were in a particularly difficult situation.
She would also go out on her own to find some work to do.
She had been to Auntie's grocery store in the north and south, but those places rarely hired people.
She was currently working as a sweeper in a restaurant, trying to earn a living, but it was not easy.
There was a lot of work, little pay, and it was very fickle.
These days, she heard that Naluo Erniang was going to open a hijab workshop in the city, so she risked being fired and lied about being unwell and going to the hospital.
She reluctantly asked the store owner for a half-day leave and planned to apply for a job at the hijab workshop.
Dunyifang, where the hijab workshop is located, is very close to Chang'anfang, where her home is located.
Chang'anfang is close to the west city wall, and Dunyifang is a little bit in the middle.
There is only a railway square between them.
The weather was quite hot at this time of year, and the sun was shining brightly.
When I took her to the hijab workshop, I was sweating a little.
However, when she got there, she saw that the door was closed and there was no one there.
I asked an older woman on the street.
The woman was in her forties or fifties.
She was sitting under a tree to enjoy the shade, holding her grandson in her arms.
She looked like she lived nearby.
"You know, this facial towel workshop has not started yet.
We don't need anyone right now.
I heard that we are short of some equipment.
Then the Luo family sisters and brothers need to build a machine workshop first.
Only when all the items are complete can we start work here.
"This woman was quite enthusiastic.
Seeing Ayan asking, she told her everything she knew.
"It will take a long time before it can open."
Ayan was worried that she would miss it again.
"Then I don't know."
The woman shook her head and replied.
""Ayan was very disappointed.
She turned around to look at the closed door, hesitated, and turned away unwillingly.
The old woman opposite was sitting on the stone strip in front of her house.
While coaxing her grandson, she turned to look at the woman who had just asked the question.
He is dressed in burlap clothes, the color of which has faded greatly.
He has been wearing them for an unknown number of years.
He is also very thin, his face is sallow, and his hair is withered and yellow.
At first glance, he looks like a miserable man.
"I heard that their machine shop is located in Chongxianfang, which is the Chongxianfang next to the county government.
Did you know that the machine shop is recruiting people these two days?
I heard that it is open to both men and women.
Why don't you go and take a look?"
After a while , the old woman said to her again.
"Both men and women are welcome."

Ayan felt a little strange.
The machine shop was a workshop for making equipment.
That kind of place should have more craftsmen and strong laborers.
What should women do?
"I don't know either.
I just heard someone say it, so I don't know whether it's true or not."
"Thank you grandma."
"If you want to go, go as early as possible now and don't miss the curfew."
"Why."
Ayan walked towards Chongxianfang in a daze, without much thought in her mind.
She just wanted to go and have a look, but it probably wouldn't work in the end.
Little did she know that Luo used these days to paint a picture of "women can also be craftsmen" and "women can also make a lot of money".
This time when recruiting people for the machine shop, he deliberately increased the proportion of women. , there are even plans to cultivate a group of female craftsmen. gd1806102:
