Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 692 The Concept of Public Restrooms
7 Chapter [-] The concept of public toilets
Li Lizhi just walked around the county town, and already had a lot of emotions.

She was actually more curious about the status quo of several new districts, but after a quick tour, it was already noon and it was time to go back for dinner.

Li Lizhi is not a willful person, she said to Houhou: "Go back first."

After returning home, because Qin Yang was busy, Li Lizhi invited Hou Wan to have dinner with him.

Seeing that Li Lizhi is not only gentle, but also only pays attention to taste when it comes to eating, and does not pursue luxury and ostentation, during the time chatting with her, Wan Wan likes this princess of Youzhou more and more.

Of course, what Wan Wan likes the most is that the other party also trusts her very much.

It has been more than three years since she came to Youzhou. She has been here as long as Qin Yang has been here. From the beginning, she was only Qin Yang's bodyguard, and now she is one of Qin Yang's confidantes.

Her current busy schedule is divided into three parts. The first is to be there whenever Qin Yang needs it.Second, she is busy with the factory work she is in charge of.The third is to practice by yourself.

But even so, when an outsider comes to Youzhou, hears about her, and has never seen her before, his first impression of her is still: This woman should be the woman of King Youzhou. ?
Just because her beauty is well known, even people who have never seen her know that she is young and beautiful.

For a young and beautiful confidant who is deeply trusted by King Youzhou, it is easy for outsiders to think elsewhere.

She doesn't care what others think, but what Princess Changle thinks.

Princess Changle is the concubine of the king of Youzhou. If this concubine has any objections to her, it will indeed be troublesome for Houhou.

Fortunately, none of this is true.

Perhaps it was because Li Lizhi trusted King Youzhou, or because she was confident enough, when facing her, she really didn't have the slightest bit of jealousy, and was very friendly to her.

Even if Houhou wasn't someone who cared about these things, she looked at Li Lizhi with more kindness.

Two beautiful girls who are not very old, you talk to each other, chatting in a low voice while eating, this picture is really too beautiful to behold.

When Qin Yang finished his work and heard that Li Lizhi had returned for dinner, so he also came to see his wife, this was what he saw.

Qin Yang couldn't help being silent for a while, always feeling that he seemed to see something terrible.

Why did he have the foreboding feeling that his wife was being taken by another woman?

This premonition should not be true, right?
Qin Yang thought this and asked them with a smile: "Are you going shopping today? How do you feel?"

In fact, the main question was Li Lizhi, and Li Lizhi replied: "It's really good."

"What's the difference from what you saw last time?" Qin Yang asked.

"It is more prosperous than what I saw last time, and the changes of the people on the road are more obvious. Although they are wearing linen clothes, their words and deeds are full of vitality."

Li Lizhi recalled the scene she saw on the road, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Also, I also saw a trash can on the road. There is one about a hundred steps away, which is even better. Although there are garbage disposal places in Chang'an, they are not as convenient and tidy as this trash can."

In Chang'an, it is basically in one area to set up a place to take out garbage and sewage, and let people put the garbage there.

But in this case, some people will choose to dump garbage and sewage near their homes instead of going to that place to take out the garbage in order to save trouble.

But here, there is a trash can.

However, Li Lizhi hasn't seen how to deal with the sewage for the time being. She is also a little curious about it and couldn't help asking.

Qin Yang replied: "For sewage, there are pipes, and they are set up on the side of the road. They are basically closed. Every hundred steps away, there is a small dumping hole. It is covered with barbed wire, and water can only be poured into it."

"The sewage here is poured directly to one place. The pipes are made of stones and covered with cement repeatedly. The sewage will not seep into the ground, and it will save the people the pain of running around."

For example, Chang'an's way of disposing of garbage, in fact, at the same time, is already considered to be the world's first-class level.

Those foreign cities at the same time, even if they are big cities, are not one or two that cannot handle this aspect. Basically, the cities are full of stench.

It's better in winter, but in summer, not to mention the smell, it also breeds many diseases.

At least in Chang'an, or even in the Tang city outside of Chang'an, there is no such thing as pouring feces and urine directly from the second floor.Even if it is dumping sewage and garbage, it is still carried out and dumped, at least it will not pollute the vicinity of your home.

But even so, the impact on the environment is also great.

Therefore, when Qin Yang governed Youzhou, he had strict requirements on sanitation, such as domestic sewage and garbage, and he also thought of some ways to minimize pollution.

Among them, popularizing toilets is a very effective way.

In ancient China, during the Tang Dynasty, "latrines" had long been popularized. Even if there were no toilets in the house, there were things like gong barrels, so that they would not pull and defecate everywhere in their homes.

But this is at home. If it is outside, the problem of excretion becomes a problem.

What Qin Yang wants to popularize is the public toilets in Youzhou.

It’s not like trash cans and sewers are everywhere, but basically, in the county town, several new districts, and the county towns of each county, in these places, within three streets, there is basically a public toilet of a small size .

Public toilets are not like later generations, men's and women's toilets are very close together.Here in Youzhou, there is a distance between the men's toilet and the women's toilet. The two toilets are surrounded by a small fenced courtyard, and there is a sign of the toilet at the door.Next to the entrance of each toilet, there is a small house similar to a modern gatehouse, with bright glass windows, you can see the outside scene when you sit inside, and the outside people can also see the inside scene.

For such a public toilet, middle-aged and elderly people from Santiao Street are usually invited to work.

The women's restroom is for middle-aged or elderly women.

The men's restroom is for the old man to watch.

People who come in and out, don't try to get in under their eyes casually, men and women are absolutely not confused.

Although it is free to enter and leave the toilet, firstly, the government will give some money as salary to those who look at the toilet.And it works in two shifts, so I won't stay in the toilet and watch.

The second is the feces in the toilet, which are good fertilizers for crops, and these fertilizers can be given to the staff who look after the toilet!
