Chapter 376
"In our Bianliang Palace, there are 27 large and small thatched cottages, and in the Bianliang City, there are more than 200 public toilets...all of which are handed over to the servants of the Kaifeng County Government..."
Wang Yang did not squat at home and rest for two days as Mr. Tu wished, and then came. But early the next morning, Wang Yang rushed into the government office and reported to Wang Yang as a right school chief looked through the account book in front of him.
"However, since most of these public toilets were built when the state dynasty built its capital Bianliang, it seems a bit inadequate because of the increasing population in Bianliang. In addition, some of the public toilets are in disrepair. However, the amount we have withdrawn every year is insufficient, so we can only repair it..."
"In addition, the sewage drainage ditches in our Bianliang now look a bit too narrow. Whenever there is flood, water will easily accumulate in the low-lying areas in the city and it will be difficult to discharge..."
"As for the palace, I just painted the place where His Majesty lives and the place where the Empress Dowager was last year, and this year it is the place where other empresses sleep..."
While listening, Wang Yang was writing and painting with a quill brush. The affairs of the right school office were not complicated, but the problem was that the work he was engaged in could definitely be considered very simple and laboring.
Sanitation and cleaning are all under the jurisdiction of the Right School Office where Wang Yang is located, and he has to be responsible for the city's pollution discharge, which makes Wang Yang feel that his work is like the director of the sanitation bureau and the director of the Public Utilities bureau.
After listening to the work report for the morning, in the afternoon, Wang Yang went to inspect the public toilets in Kaifeng before accompanying a right school chief and several officials.
Some of the public toilets are made of bricks and stone, but there are also those that are completely rammed out of soil and covered with thick grass on the roof, giving Wang Yang the feeling that it is like a farmhouse fertilization base in the 1970s and 188s.
However, when Wang Yang thought of the fact that there had been a city public toilet during the Northern Song Dynasty, and when he thought about the situation where the Indian Sans were still shit and urine in their capitals even in the 21st century, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Moreover, the public toilets in this era are not like those in later generations, including cesspools, which are open-air to facilitate the work of those dung workers.
And the important thing is that the cesspool is just digging a hole directly, and even bricks are not used. In this way, the feces can easily contaminate the groundwater and cause illness.
After a visit, at dusk, Wang Yang invited the colleagues who came out to inspect the situation to find a restaurant for a meal, and then they all went back to their respective homes.
"Master is back. Thank you for your hard work. Isn't it very tiring to work?" Li Shishi, who was sitting with Liu Yiyi, saw Wang Yang step into the yard, and cheered and stood up from the corridor to greet him.
"I'm not very tired, so I'd better go take a shower first." Wang Yang saw Li Shishi coming to him, smiled at him, took out a small bag of malt malt from his arms and handed it to her. Seeing Li Shishi's smile, his fatigue seemed to be wiped out.
"Why did you rush to take a shower as soon as you got home? Could it be that you had some unclean things dyed outside?" Liu Yiyi looked at Wang Yang with a very strange expression.
"I am the head of the right school office. Of course, I have to check the places under my jurisdiction. Do you think there is anything clean in those places?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes helplessly. Can he still drink flower wine with a stinky outfit?
#####
After taking a shower, Wang Yang, who was comfortable, returned to the room. "Girl, where are the architectural samples I drew for our house last time? Help me find them out."
"Why are you looking for those things? Didn't you say that the main buildings next door are about to end now?" Liu Yiyi was stunned, took the clothes that Wang Yang brought in, turned around and took them out and handed them to the servants.
"It has nothing to do with the next door. I just want to see if I can find other yamen in the palace who are the craftsmen in the palace to see if they can burn what I need."
"Master, it's all here, what do you want to make?"
"Toilet..." Wang Yang's expression seemed extremely serious and authentic.
"...I said, Brother Wang, how can you do this? You have been to public for a few days now, why are you thinking about pretending to be a private person? Is this really good?" Liu Yiyi looked at Wang Yang in front of her with a dark face and said helplessly.
"You are wrong. I am not for my own selfishness. What I am considering is the public health and safety of the people of our Song Dynasty..."
While refuting Liu Yiyi's words, Wang Yang found the sectional view of the toilet and began to look carefully. Wang Yang had seen the large-scale fired porcelain in the palace.
Since porcelain that is almost half a person tall can be fired, I believe this kind of porcelain toilet should not have too many problems.
The general was to manage the production of various objects inside and outside the palace, or the repairs inside and outside the palace. So Wang Yang took the drawings and found the Lieutenant Colonel's Office.
The Lieutenant Colonel Office is deeply distressed. You are obviously from the Right School Office, but you have been involved in our Lieutenant Colonel Office and asked us to make things for you. We are not in the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
However, in the end, after Wang Yang also paid ten cents of money to buy five samples, the Lieutenant Colonel's Office ordered half-rejectedly and half-heartedly agreed.
After all, there will be a lot of waste products in each furnace for porcelain firing. Fortunately, the glaze and soil used are extremely low, which means that firewood is more expensive. However, even if the five samples mentioned by Wang Yang are fired together, it is afraid that it will not cost three guan. If you use Yiguan as a hard work fee for those masters, you can earn some pocket money by yourself.
Three days later, three carriages slowly stopped in front of the government office of the Right School Office, and Wang Yang finally saw the toilet number one to fifth in history.
There is also ceramic tiles with an area of ​​about one foot square, one side is glazed and the other side is ceramic tiles.
Although neither the ceramic tiles nor the toilet are the white porcelain of later generations, nor the very exquisite celadon. Well, the color is the porcelain of the ordinary farm bowl, the problem is that the inside of the entire toilet is completely wrapped in a shiny blue glaze like glass.
Although the glaze outside was a little unevenly wrapped, the workmanship had already made up for the shortcomings. At this time, several officials and a right school chief heard that there were five more things on the open space of the yamen, so he rushed over to take a look.
"Sir, what are these?" A right school chief couldn't help but ask Wang Yang, who was squatting in front of the porcelain toilet and knocking on the strip regardless of his image.
"A toilet." Wang Yang replied subconsciously.
"... Toilet, porcelain?" A group of officials, including the right school office, made the whole person feel bad. I've seen wooden toilets, but I've never seen porcelain toilets.
And the shape is so weird and awkward. "What adult, is this thing untouched?"
"The porcelain is naturally not as resistant to wood, but it is clean and resistant to water erosion. The important thing is that after the glaze surface, there will be no dirt or dirt..." Wang Yang explained with a smile when he saw these guys looking confused.
Everyone's hearts were extremely excited. A few days ago, the top scholar looked like he was diligent and brave enough to do things. Why did he suddenly change his style today? What's the point of making a fuss?
"Okay, come here, go get a carriage and call a group of mailboxes to repair the toilets. Let's go to Duan Wang Mansion."
"??Sir, are you going to give it to the royal palace?"
