In the past, everyone had to splash any dirty water at the door Not to mention the impact on the aesthetics, it will also leave a variety of smells, passing by the door of a row of houses, I don't know how many strange smells will be smelled What the smell of blood, the smell of feet, etc., you name it.
But after the appearance of the sewer, more and more people, finding out by themselves, or under the influence of others, learned that it seemed that they could pour dirty water or something into the sewer Anyway, there is a pit in the kitchen of my house, which is not dirty water or something, and it is not beautiful to pour it into the pit Although if you squat on top of the cave and get close to smell it, you can still smell it, but who has nothing to do with going to the cave mouth all day long In addition, the manure of many livestock and mounts was also put into the sewer before the manhole cover was covered, which directly led to the cleanliness of Chang'an City skyrocketing All kinds of odors are attenuated to the greatest extent, and animal manure is also treated cleanly In this not too long time, everyone has tasted the sweetness.
After all, if you can survive in a cleaner and more hygienic environment, and it is more convenient and fast, who would choose to return to the original dirty and messy living environment Yes, although after the manhole cover is covered, people can't pour dirty water, feces or anything into the sewer at will, but fortunately, there is still a kitchen at home Thinking about it like this, people can accept it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with building a manhole cover, and there is nothing wrong with building a manhole cover The only thing that is a little unhappy is the merchants who come and go, or the hunters who come into the city to sell their goods.
A few days ago, they could throw their mount feces into the sewer nearby, but now they have to find a way to dispose of it themselves or they will be fined However, on this day, a notice was posted throughout Chang'an "Announcement of the Division" "The department is the seventh department newly established a few days ago" "It seems that this department is going to do something, just established to make this kind of announcement, and the other six departments may not make any announcements in a year and a half."
"Whatever he does, Sister Liu, don't you know how to read, read quickly, what is written on the announcement?"
"I'll take a look at what I'm anxious about before I talk about it" The woman who was called Liu's eldest sister was not in a hurry, she looked at the announcement slowly, and had to pause from time to time to think for a while.
Obviously, although she can read and write, her cultural level is not good, and many words are very rusty and need to be guessed and recognized.
Fortunately, the words on this notice were not difficult, and she finally read it after spending some time.
At the same time, her face, for some time, was already full of surprise.
"Everyone, listen to the good news, great news."
"Oh what good news, you should say it quickly" "What's the matter, aren't you kidding us?"
Under the urging of everyone, Sister Liu coughed dryly, and finally slowly opened her mouth to explain what she saw from the notice.
"This department is a powerful department, although the quasi-prince is a man, but everyone knows that he is very capable, and he is a strange man who is rare to see in the ages."
"He, the position he holds is the secretary of the department, what is the book, and he is the biggest official of the department."
"The notice said that this sewer was the idea of the department."
"These days, everyone has been secretly pouring dirty water into the sewer or something, and I was afraid that the people above would know about it, and I would punish him, which is really ridiculous to think about."
"The purpose of building sewers is to let us discharge sewage and feces into them."
"However, the notice also said that it is okay to discharge pickled things such as dirty water, and some small household garbage is no problem, but animal bones, large objects, etc., are not allowed to be thrown into the sewer, otherwise a fine of silver, 100 taels" hiss As soon as these words came out, there was an instant gasp around him.
"A fine of one hundred taels of silver, my heavens, I don't have so much silver when I sell it" "This punishment is too severe" "If you don't throw it into it, it'll be fine, the quasi-prince will arrange it like this, so naturally he has a reason" "Again, if we don't break it, we won't be punished."
Everyone nodded, although they felt that the punishment was too heavy, but it was not unacceptable.
As long as you don't commit a crime, what you are afraid of is like a death sentence, you are afraid of death and you will be violated, you know that it is a death sentence and you still do bad things, and then you go back and say that the punishment is too heavy "The notice also says that the pit in our kitchen is only temporary" "After that, what kitchen appliances will be launched by the department?"
"Not only can you plug the pits, but you can also perfectly mask all kinds of flavors" "In addition, if we think that it is too troublesome to pour incense every day, we can build a thatched toilet at home, which is the kind of simple thatched toilet that steps on both sides of the river, everyone understands."
"While the sewers are still relatively clean, dig a latrine and connect it to the sewer" "In the future, I don't need to worry about the distress of pouring primrose, and I don't need to spend an extra amount of silver for pouring nightshade." rumble As soon as these words came out, most of the onlookers ran away in an instant Dozens of people scattered in a hurry, pulling out their legs and running away, which made Sister Liu a little dumbfounded.
"What are you running yet?"
"Hey, what else are you talking about, why don't you go home and dig the toilet to go to my side, I didn't react, so I just said a few more words to you, otherwise I would have run away" "yes, the sewer isn't too dirty now, if you don't dig it now, it's disgusting to think about it for a long time."
"Yes, yes, let's go, go home and dig the latrine" More people left, and only two or three big cats and small cats remained.
Everyone is an ordinary person, but they are not stupid.
Know what's good, what's bad, what's convenient, what's troublesome.
The emergence of sewers is indeed very convenient for everyone, especially after I heard that after digging a latrine, it is clean and can save money, where can everyone stay In particular, during this time, they can be regarded as having experienced the benefits of sewers, so they are naturally more convinced and more proactive.
"Hmph, what to save money, no matter how big the sewer is dug, there will always be a day of overflow, do you want to dig the thatched toilet because you want to be flooded by pickles for a period of time?"
At this moment, someone snorted coldly, expressing disdain.
Sister Liu squinted: "Yo, this is not Zhao Li from West Hutong, you don't want to collect your evening primrose, how can you have time to come here to see" "Oh, it can't be that after the sewers appeared, you guys, there was no business, right?"
"You" Zhao Li gritted her teeth and wanted to refute, but she couldn't speak, so she could only snort coldly: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you" On this day, early in the morning, Lin Zifan arrived and resisted a large number of clothes, shoes and socks, hairpins, etc.
"Come on, come on, Your Majesty is going to court today, a few of you, quickly change into official clothes and go to court with Ben Shangshu":
