Guo Wei wanted to sacrifice to heaven, which was the greatest privilege of an emperor, and it was also an important means for an emperor to demonstrate the legitimacy of the regime to his ministers and the people.

It was originally a good thing, but with the intention of being active, he began to guess whether there was something wrong with the emperor's body.

When a puffer fish encounters a crisis, it will swell up and scare the enemy away. The same is true for an emperor to suddenly demonstrate the legitimacy of the regime, which inevitably makes people speculate.

The ceremony of worshiping heaven will not only be attended by officials and people from the capital, but also by the governors of various vassal states, or sent people to come here in person, and even foreign envoys will come to congratulate them.

So as the leader of the third yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture, Xu Xian began to work hard. He didn't need to build an altar to arrange a venue. That was the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works.

Xu Xian is responsible for the public security and hygiene in Kaifeng Prefecture, especially the hygiene aspect is emphasized by Chai Rong repeatedly. Who said that he is a patient with cleanliness disease? To be honest, the hygiene situation in Kaifeng Prefecture is already very bad.

The ancients actually didn’t have much domestic waste, which was related to their living habits. They were reluctant to throw away cloth heads with copper coins and paper pieces with palm sizes. The biggest source of pollution comes from domestic sewage from the people.

The underground drainage system of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty was very developed and once became a place for beggars and criminals, and even breeded a lot of sins.

However, the underground drainage system of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty began with Zhou Shizong, and Chai Rong had just become the crown prince. He had not yet started to rectify it. Even if there were drainage systems in Kaifeng City, there were quite a few.

People in the city either pour sewage into the gutter in the yard and let it flow to the streets or open the yard door and pour it directly into the streets and alleys, in short, they will not keep it at home.

The front doors of restaurants should be dirty because their sewage contains food residues. If they are sprinkled on the street, they will inevitably become rotten and smelly. It will be better in winter, but will definitely attract huge flies in summer.

The most disgusting thing is that in order to save a few copper coins, some people poured the toilet filled with feces everywhere, and they even thought they were smart enough to pour it into the river in the city. Then they washed rice and vegetables in the river. Just thinking about it, they could ask people to spit out the overnight meal.

What Xu Xian wanted to do was to patrol the main streets of Kaifeng City with three yamen runners, and the focus of the supervision was on restaurants and shops.

When I saw the guy pouring dirty water on the street, I grabbed him and slapped him. However, no matter whether he was hitting or fined, he still did the same the next day.

Xu Xian also knew that this was a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause, and he suggested to Chai Rong that he would build a sewer. Chai Rong said that the distant water could not save the nearby fire, and he could not let the envoys of other countries in various places look at the stinking appearance of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If it was not possible, just take a heavy hand.

Xu Xian said before that Chai Rong was very similar to some officials in later generations. He was bold in his work and even often took odd steps and did not pay much attention to the doctrine of the mean.

When he met such a boss, Xu Xian had to bite the bullet and give an ultimatum to each shop, asking each of them to put a large wooden basin in front of the door to fill sewage, and transport it to the outside of the city by carriages and horses. If someone splashes water randomly, he will smash the signboard, seal the store door, and put the shopkeeper in prison. As for those who dare to pour the toilet, they will directly press down and whip them.

Once the re-trial was used, it was really easy to use. The streets were much cleaner immediately. The shopkeeper who knew the tactfully also sent someone to clean up every day.

Of course, there are also people who don’t cry when they don’t see the coffin. As soon as they entered Maxing Street, a basin of sewage splashed over, splashing Xu Xian’s bow down.

Seeing this, Cui Jiu immediately cursed: "You woman are really ignorant of life and death. You have long said not to pour dirty water on the street. Instead, you have poured my head on my head. Brothers smashed the broken store sign for me. Call out your shopkeeper and take us to Kaifeng Mansion with us."

Aunt Liu said angrily: "I am used to it. I can't change it by saying it. The shopkeeper is not here today, but the boss is standing behind you."

Cui Jiu turned around and saw Xu Xian smile at him and said, "This is my business!"

"Oh, it was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple and his family members refused to recognize their family members. Zhang Ding quickly stopped. Didn't you hear that, Zhang Ding, stop smashing it anymore, this is our business..."

The answer was only a few crisp sounds, and then the signboard of Changle Tower fell to the ground and fell into a pile of wood chips.

Cui Jiu turned his head awkwardly and said to Xu Xian: "What should I do if I am the head?"

Xu Xian ignored him and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, Kaifeng City may be a little mess recently. You are all women and it is a bit inconvenient. So I closed the door and rested for ten days and half a month."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Listen to Dalang, we are not short of this wage for our family anyway."

Xu Xian said to Cui Jiu again: "Remember to get a sign for me and return it, and let my brothers spread my virtue of not being favored."

Xu Xian led the people to continue patrolling. Before he walked far, he saw the gongs and drums outside the Cao Gate, the flags were like clouds, the soldiers were tall and burly, with complete armor and majestic mounts under his crotch. Although there were only a thousand people, they gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The other party's leader rode on the horse, waved his whip at Xu Xian and others from afar, signaling them to give way.

Cui Jiu rolled up his arms and rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "Where is this from the country bumpkin? I dare to be domineering in Kaifeng City. I will take it as a good deal to deal with him and tell him that he is powerful. When I enter Kaifeng, if I am a dragon, I have to lie on it, if I am a tiger..."

Xu Xian had already led the people to the side of the road, "Go and deal with them hard, and I will applaud you with my brothers!"

He could tell from his military uniform that the Tianxiong Army was coming from the opposite side. It was the largest thorn on the border of Zhou. It was needless to say that it was Wang Yin, the governor of the Tianxiong Army, who personally went to the capital.

Xu Xian would rather offend Wang Jun than offend Wang Yin today. If he couldn't weigh his own weight and was chopped off by the other party, he would just be an extra grave outside the city, and Wang Yin would not lose a hair.

As the ceremonial guards get closer, the words on the flags are all official names, "Left to Yedu", "Jiangsu of Tianping Army", "Pingzhangshi"... The largest flag on the carriage is a big word "king".

Looking at the magnificent carriage, Xu Xian was surprised. Guo Wei personally rode horses and didn't ride cars. Wang Yin just came to Beijing to attend the ceremony of worshiping the sky, but came by, and used four horses to pull the car.

"This man really thinks he is a prince. It seems that the visitor is really bad..."
