"Speaking of it this way, Lieutenant Jiang Cheng is really a good officer."
After being stunned for a while, Chen Ang said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? Fortunately, Mr. Jiang came out of Heyang. Otherwise, if we were still the old officials, we really don't know how we would have lived."
The young man said happily.
"Young man, what are those barrels used for? I see that all the garbage you clean up is poured into the barrels?"
Chen Ang pointed to the nearest barrel and asked.
"The trash can, of course, is a trash can. It was also installed at the request of Lord Cheng Wei. It was also made with money drawn from the city management fees and specially hired by a carpenter. It is not just us, the street sanitation managers, who have to throw out the trash.
Go to the wooden barrel. According to the wishes of Lord Chengwei, if everyone wants to throw away garbage, they must throw it into the trash can and cannot throw it randomly on the street."
The young man looked proud and continued: "There is no mandatory requirement yet, but I heard that after Sir Cheng Wei posted the public security regulations, people who littered the streets at will, if they were discovered by the patrol officers, would be
You will be fined directly. By that time, our Heyang City will definitely become the cleanest city in the entire Zhou Dynasty!"
City management fees? Trash cans? Street sanitation manager?!
What the hell is this?!
However... even though it was the first time I heard these words, I seemed to be able to understand what these words meant just by relying on the literal meaning.
It feels quite novel.
"Then...what if the garbage in the trash can is full?"
Chen Ang continued to ask.
"Every morning, there are people who specialize in pulling carts, who are responsible for piling up all the garbage in these trash cans and pulling it out of the city. The city captain ordered a big pit to be dug outside the city just to dump the garbage.
"
The young man pointed in the direction outside the city and said.
"That's it. Young man, you should be busy. I won't delay your work. I'll go around again."
Chen Ang reached out and patted the young man's shoulder again, and said kindly.
"Okay, old man, please take your time and stroll around. If you get lost or need help with other things, as long as you meet the street patrol officer, you can directly talk to the street patrol officer, and the street patrol officer will help you solve all your problems."
The young man nodded and continued to clean the streets diligently.
The street patrol officer...will help me solve all my problems?
How is this possible?
Chen Ang shook his head and continued to wander aimlessly.
I changed several streets in a row and found that the conditions of each street were similar. They were all kept extremely clean by some people.
The dirt road is very smooth. Although there is still dust on the road, the mud and odor that are inevitable in Jinling City are basically completely absent on the streets of Heyang City.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw several carpenters busy building a small house on the corner of the street. Chen Ang stepped forward curiously again and approached a carpenter squatting on the roadside.
He also squatted down and said, "Master, what are you building?"
The carpenter, whose hands were covered with calluses, glanced at Chen Ang and couldn't help but chuckled: "Old man, are you from out of town?"
Huh? Why is this the first sentence? Is it so obvious that I am not a local?
Chen Ang nodded somewhat depressedly.
"Old man, don't think too much. Mainly people from Heyang City don't ask this kind of questions now. Almost all the people who curiously ask this and that every day are outsiders."
The carpenter smiled and then said: "This is called a 'public toilet'. Lord Cheng Wei summoned the craftsmen from all over the city and gave us detailed ideas to build it. In these days, Cheng Wei
Almost half of the quantity requested by the Lord has been completed, and I estimate that in another month, the Lord City Lieutenant's goal can be achieved."
"Public...restroom?"
Chen Ang repeated it, with a confused expression instinctively appearing on his face.
"It's normal for the elderly not to understand. After all, we didn't understand it at all before. But this is easy to understand, that is, anyone can go to the hut. The Lord Cheng Wei posted a notice asking all pedestrians on the street, as long as they have
For emergencies, if you want to relieve yourself, just go to the nearest public toilet and there is no charge. The corresponding construction costs and subsequent cleaning and maintenance costs are all provided by the city management fee."
The carpenter explained with a smile.
City management fees? There’s that word again…
But the idea of this public toilet is also novel enough!
As the tutor of the Imperial Academy, Chen Ang was naturally rich in knowledge and knowledge.
So it is easy to understand how convenient the emergence of this kind of public toilet will be for the lives of people in the city!
"I heard that when all the public toilets are built, the city captain will issue something called the Public Security Management Regulations, which will clearly stipulate that people are not allowed to urinate on the street at will. If you want to urinate on the street, then you can
You must use the public restroom, otherwise if you are caught by the street patrol officers, you will be fined. In serious cases, you may even be slapped with a board. At that time, how clean do you think this Heyang City must be?"
The carpenter said with a longing expression.
Whether it was the carpenter, the young man who was cleaning the street just now, or even the pedestrians coming and going on the street now, Chen Ang could clearly see two words on their faces.
hope!
And this kind of expression was something that Chen Ang had never seen on the faces of the people of Jinling when he lived in Jinling City!
That was still the capital of Zhou Dynasty!
It is the richest place in the entire Zhou Dynasty and the people's lives are also the most prosperous!
But such an expression appeared in Heyang.
Although it is known as the majestic city of the North, it is actually not regarded by the powerful people in Jinling City.
"Master, when you build these... uh... public toilets, the government pays you wages?"
Chen Ang asked.
"Of course, if you don't say that the city captain is thinking about us people. In the past, when we worked for the government, it was called corvee service. The government, let alone giving you money, could take care of you for two meals, which is considered good. But now
What? Mr. Cheng Wei hired us directly with money, and the remuneration he gave us was quite generous. Although the price of food has increased a lot in the past few months, these remunerations are enough for the family to get through this year. They were all given by Mr. Cheng Wei.
What a good day."
As the carpenter spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky.
Chen Ang was about to ask some other questions when a voice calling for help suddenly came to his ears.
"Steal something! Catch the thief!"
A slightly sharp female voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ang saw a skinny man running wildly on the street in a panic.
ps: Dear family members, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are a lot of things going on, and there is not enough time for coding. I will maintain two updates for the time being, and resume three updates after the New Year.
Family members, please spend more time with your loved ones. I wish you all a happy new year in advance.
I hope that all your family members and the people they care about will have good health and make a lot of money in the new year.
In addition, thank you again to Yang Bin for the daily reward of children's shoes.
Even though I'm a little confused.
So far, I have been very happy writing this book, but there are still some dissatisfactions~
Find a time during the Chinese New Year to have a good chat with everyone ~ I love you ~
