Chapter 78 The Plague is the Most Deadly

Long Xiang shrugged his nose and reminded Feng Zhong tactfully.

"Uncle Zhong, do you smell anything?"

"Well, maybe Yunqi is standing in the wind. If you don't get used to it, just go back to the house. I'll have someone hold the lamp. That's it."

After Feng Zhong said this, he turned around, but Tang Wei didn't take it seriously.

"It should be the smell of feces and urine blown by the wind. Don't forget, we have lived in a livestock shed. Is there anything you can't get used to?"

"There is nothing we can do in Xucun, but Hefei is our home. Don't ordinary people have toilets in their homes?"

Long Xiang frowned as he spoke, thinking to himself, if the residents were allowed to wander around, would it be as clean and hygienic as Asan? Will Hefei City be able to be inhabited in the future?

I don’t want to imitate the Europeans in making high-heeled shoes, as those things are simply not suitable for a farming society.

If feces is not handled properly, it can easily cause the spread of diseases.

There are no doctors or medicinal materials in Hefei now. Once an epidemic plague breaks out, these thousands of people will almost be wiped out.

When Long Xiang first joined the construction site as a technician, the team first had to dig toilets when entering the site, and then used soil for landfill treatment before leaving the site.

The entire residential area can be described in two words: messy.

"Let's go look elsewhere."

The two rode out of Hefei, and Feng Zhong took Long Xiang to Shishui not far away.

Long Xiang said optimistically: "We can't control natural disasters, but we can't stop growing food because of floods. I believe that as long as we dredge the rivers properly, we will get some benefits. It's better than sitting on nothing."

"Have you never seen Yun Qi? You can use a kiln to make pottery, bricks, tiles and other items."

Upon seeing this, Feng Zhong immediately added: "I will notify them tomorrow and they will not be allowed to mess around. If they don't listen, they will be fined with food."

"That's not okay." Long Xiang frowned and looked serious.

No matter how perfect the plan is, it must be realistic.

Feng Zhong was worried that Long Xiang would misunderstand the different treatment, so he came closer and explained: "Although those houses were simple and simple, it would be unusual to live in them and tidy them up. The utensils at home need to be collected slowly. Anyway, there are all ownerless things in the city. If you want

Just pick it up yourself.”

Hefei has not been inhabited for a long time, and the buildings are relatively dilapidated. The houses that can accommodate people are not concentrated, so the nearly 1,000 households live in a relatively large area.

"It will be used for farming next year. You need to let more people inform and publicize it first. As for deducting grain, I will spend a few days and take a closer look before making any calculations."

Long Xiang couldn't sleep because he was worried about Hefei and how to build this empty city.

"Pooping around easily breeds diseases. Don't people need to keep it as fertilizer?" Long Xiang was puzzled.

"Um."

If you want to plan well, you will need paper and pencil rulers even if you don’t have drawing software.

In ancient times, it was no problem to build large-scale infrastructure. There was no mechanical equipment and it could be built with people.

After hearing this, Long Xiang responded softly, thinking that this was very much like a doomsday story, where the remaining people were collecting supplies in the ruins of the city.

Feng Zhong looked helpless, "The original conditions are like this. The houses that can accommodate people are not concentrated, unless they are all demolished and rebuilt."

Long Xiang returned to the couch in the Hou Mansion after dinner, and endless thoughts were intertwined in his mind, making him unable to fall asleep for a long time.

There are many dry weed piles in this area, as well as several depressions in the ground.

Since Feng Zhong had few soldiers, he deliberately closed the three gates of Hefei, leaving only the east gate for entry and exit.

Feng Zhong replied with an embarrassed look: "Of course there are toilets, but some people just can't control them."

Early the next morning, Long Xiang and Tang Wei went to Feng's house for dinner again.

Due to floods and droughts one after another, the moat outside Hefei City was filled with silt.

"Ahem, let's talk about it later." Long Xiang gave up the idea instantly.

"Proper disposal of feces can effectively control the spread of diseases. That's why I was so excited last night. There is no medical treatment or medicine in Hefei. It would be unthinkable if we get infected."

After leaving the residential area, Long Xiang stood by the road, bowing his head in thought.

Later, I walked to the resettlement area where the new residents arrived yesterday, and found that the furnishings in the building were relatively simple.

Feng Zhong asked again: "What is Yun Qi thinking about?"

Long Xiang frowned and said to himself, thinking, isn't this a ready-made building materials processing factory?

The houses in the city all have wood-reinforced earth walls. I directly used kiln-fired bricks instead of rammed earth, which is not only strong but also fast to build.

After dinner, Tang Wei went to familiarize himself with the city defenses, while Long Xiang, accompanied by Feng Zhong, began to inspect various parts of the city.

Feng Zhong introduced: "Those depressions were originally earthen kilns. Because they had been abandoned for too long, they were almost filled with sand. At first, the surrounding areas were covered with weeds taller than people. Later, they were cut down and used as food.

The wood is burned."

Because the feces problem was discovered yesterday, Long Xiang's first stop was wandering around residential areas.

To demolish and rebuild? Long Xiang was startled when he heard this and thought to himself, isn’t this my specialty?

Many roofs are leaking, and windows are leaking. In short, they can be summed up in four words: barely able to survive;

Long Xiang pointed forward, raised his whip and ran out.

Feng Zhong thought Long Xiang didn't know him, so he introduced him very enthusiastically.

Long Xiang randomly visited several families in the families who moved in first, and found that the furniture and utensils of these families were very complete, and there were also a lot of firewood piled outside the houses. They seemed to be living a decent life.

Long Xiang whipped his horse forward. He inspected from southwest to northwest like a horse, and finally arrived at the east gate in a counterclockwise direction.

In addition, if I were also responsible for design, technology, construction, supervision, and quality, wouldn't I die earlier than Zhuge Liang?

Feng Zhong shook his head gently, "When the weather is better, some people will plant fruits and vegetables near their homes. In fact, there are not many places to use fertilizer."

"Everyone lives too scattered, which is not conducive to management." Long Xiang frowned.

"I can spare it."

After thinking about it all night, Long Xiang decided to find out first.

Hefei is in the early stages of land reclamation, and there is nothing you can ask for. The existing two to three thousand dependents can only cultivate the land to be self-sufficient, so it is urgent to increase the population.

Feng Zhong dismounted, grabbed a handful of soil, and said with emotion: "The land on both sides of Shishui is fertile, and it can be turned into fertile farmland with a little cultivation. However, Huainan has rained a lot in the past few years, and Chao Lake often swells and floods the fields, so the harvest is seriously affected."

Not long after, the two came to an uninhabited area with no buildings in the west of the city.

Feng Zhong nodded in approval: "Yun Qi is right. The city of Hefei is empty and floods are only one of them. In fact, war and plague are the most deadly."

"I understand, let's keep moving forward."

"Tu kiln?"

Long Xiang looked at the moat and kept shaking his head, thinking that there was work to do everywhere he went.

In the past, the project department had chief engineer, construction, quality, safety, materials and other people to assist them, but now the grass-roots team does not have many capable helpers.

It's not because I moved into a big house, or because I don't have a maid to take care of me.

"I will take this matter to heart. Do you have any plans for farming? The people in the city have nothing to do all day long, but they will get into trouble."

It was already past noon, and the warm winter sun had risen directly above. The warm sunlight shone on Long Xiang's face, making his eyes widen unconsciously.

"Hefei is a complex location. Farming and farming must be managed in a unified manner. Once Director Cao completes the personnel statistics, I will arrange personnel to reclaim the wasteland and we will definitely be able to sow seeds next spring."

"That would be great."
