Chapter 217 No money, just dung?

George III did not know that Francis I was shameless, but George III knew that Louis XVI was definitely shameless.

As one of the five good men of Little Po Guo, Louis XVI licked the Ming Emperor everywhere, putting Ming Dynasty first in everything, and not giving any chance to others to shine. He perfectly interpreted the word "licking dog" in how many ways it can be written.

.

After being silent for a long time, George III finally couldn't help but asked tentatively: "If, I mean if, if Ming Dynasty conflicts with Europa, or Ming Dynasty wants to enter Europa, what are you going to do?"

Louis XVI asked back: "Do you think it is possible? Before thinking about any problem, please use your brain to think about whether this problem can be established."

George III frowned and said: "Why can't it be established?"

Louis XVI laughed loudly and said: "There was a statistical data published in the Ming Dynasty newspaper. There were 314.12 million people in the Ming Dynasty, but the land of the Ming Dynasty was 18 million square meters.

Kilometers, there are less than 18 people per square kilometer, which is a situation where there are many people but few people."

"Let us not consider for the time being whether the Ming Dynasty has the ability to project troops across the sea to fight in Europa, nor do we consider the supply issues for cross-sea operations. Even if the Ming Dynasty can march into Europa, how can it occupy the land of Europa?"

"Also, haven't you noticed that until now, the battles fought by the Ming emperors have basically been passive counterattacks, and they almost never took the initiative to attack other countries."

"Even if you want to attack the Ottomans, it's for the Ottoman oil, and it's also for the sake of establishing prestige. And what does Europa have? Does Europa have oil? Or does Europa have a lot of gold and silver?"

"Compared with the Ming Dynasty, Europa is simply a poor country. You still expect the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to send troops to occupy Europe? Do you want the Ming Dynasty to come to Europe to help the poor? What good thing are you thinking!"

George III was choked and speechless.

After being silent for a long time, King George III asked again: "Are you really ready to study all aspects of the Ming Dynasty? Including Frank...

Are the imperial court and the army of the West included?"

Louis XVI nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Of course, it is not shameful to learn from the strong. What is shameful is that you are unwilling to learn from the strong despite having the opportunity.

"In fact, if it were not impossible to find enough interpreters, I would even prepare to offer Chinese language and Chinese character courses in French schools, so that French people would have the opportunity to learn Chinese and Chinese characters from an early age."

George III nodded and fell into silence again.

Including the imperial court and the army, everyone is studying the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, and even schools have to offer courses in Chinese and Chinese characters. This can no longer be described by the word licking a dog. This is simply crazy, completely crazy - he is like this

Are you planning to turn France into a small Ming country?

Looking at George III who fell into silence, Louis XVI couldn't help feeling a little proud.

What happened to copying everything from the Ming Dynasty?

Compared with everything that exists in France, the Ming Dynasty's system is more advanced, the Ming Dynasty's army is more capable, the Ming Dynasty's writing is more beautiful, the Ming Dynasty's language is more elegant, and the most advanced knowledge is written in Chinese characters.

Advanced technologies are all the standards of the Ming Dynasty. If France does not learn from the Ming Dynasty, is it going to keep its old and decayed things, waiting to be swept into the garbage heap of history?

Besides, learning the writing and language of the Ming Dynasty does not mean completely abolishing the writing and language of France.

After feeling secretly proud, Louis XVI spoke again: "I am planning to recruit some corvees in Paris to clean up the excrement outside the city of Paris, and no matter who tries to dissuade me, it is impossible to shake my determination."

"After cleaning up the feces outside the city, we will dredge the Seine River that is blocked by feces and plant more flowers, plants and trees, so that the people of Paris can have a beautiful living environment like the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Versailles, Fontainebleau, Palais Marie, these places also need to be cleaned up, and regular toilets need to be built."

Speaking of this, Louis XVI's heart moved, he looked at George III and asked: "I remember,...

Chapter 217: No money, just shit (page 2/6), click the next page to continue reading.

Your sanitary conditions in London are not very good? And the Thames..."

A sequence of words beginning with f and s in response to Louis XVI.

The French in Paris like to dump their feces on the streets, outside the city, and in the Seine River, and the English in London also like to dump their feces on the streets, outside the city, and in the Seine River.

Feces were dumped into the Thames, the Seine was clogged with feces, and the Thames naturally could not escape.

The Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova often saw people standing on the roadside or leaning against buildings to "open the floodgates and release water" in full view of the public. The British writer Samuel Pepys even recorded in his diary,

His wife was squatting on the street "going about her official business."

There is such a description in British literature: At that time, ordinary families in London did not have toilets, and many people would defecate everywhere on the streets. Animal offal, fur and filth could be seen everywhere on the streets, and even pigs and cows could be seen.

, the phenomenon of sheep and other livestock running around and pooping in the streets. Some Londoners couldn't bear the humiliation and wore 20-centimeter high heels to avoid contact with the feces.

As for the Thames outside London, it is “a river that flows with dung water all year round.”

After spewing out countless words starting with f and s, George III tugged on his collar, panted and said to Louis XVI: "Okay, you succeeded in convincing me, for the sake of the Thames River

For the sake of it, I also plan to learn from the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, and at least get rid of the, um, shit in London and the Thames."



While Louis XVI and George III were studying the excrement problem in Paris and London, Liu Yangxing, the first Ming Dynasty governor in Kyushu Island, was also confused by the excrement problem.

Before coming to Kyushu Island, Liu Yangxing had supplemented his knowledge about Japan. He also knew that Japan was an island country with few resources. However, Liu Yangxing never expected that Japan was so poor that it did not even have an adequate supply of excrement.

This matter of Gu Zhao/span still has to start when Liu Yangxing first arrived on Kyushu Island...

Chapter 217 No money, just shit (page 3/6), click the next page to continue reading.

Speaking of time.

As the first governor of Kyushu Island in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yangxing had to make preparations before the Ming Dynasty moved people to Kyushu Island, including but not limited to planning the future blueprint of Kyushu Island, setting up the framework of the governor's office, and sending people to keep an eye on the island.

In charge of the construction of the governor's office and local government offices, etc.

However, before Liu Yangxing could plan the future blueprint for Kyushu Island, Tokugawa Jiaqi came to visit him.

Tokugawa Jiaqi said that Kyushu Island will belong to Ming Dynasty from now on. This is beyond doubt, but Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to contract all the toilets of Ming Dynasty in Kyushu Island and ensure that they are clean. The only conditions are these

The feces should belong to the Japanese country.

Liu Yangxing was stunned at the time.

No money, just shit?

As a member of the Zhongyuan Tangkou, Liu Yangxing certainly knew that excrement could be used to fertilize. However, the area of ​​Kyushu Island was not small. In the future, some people would have to be relocated to live here. The amount of excrement produced every day would be quite large. If the Japanese country could undertake to clean it,

The mission means that the Japanese country has to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but the reward is Ming Dynasty's excrement. This matter...

How much is the shortage of manure in Japan?

It wasn't until he sent someone to investigate carefully that Liu Yangxing figured out what was going on.

Most of the land in the Japanese country is sandy soil. This kind of soil contains a lot of sand and has rough particles. Although it has good air permeability, it contains less nutrients. In addition, not every household in the Japanese countryside at that time could raise livestock.

, so farmers in Japan could only rely on human excrement as fertilizer to improve the soil and promote the growth of crops.

At that time, Japanese people regarded visiting a friend's house as an act of generosity - it was a gift.

In order to have a sufficient supply of manure, some Japanese farmers would pay a certain amount of manure fees to surrounding families, hotels and other places, and then use the manure to make fertilizer suitable for crop growth, thus enhancing the harvest of crops. For a period of time, some large-scale

In order to increase the harvest of manure, larger hotels will increase the accommodation capacity of the inn by reducing rent. #b... ...

br# As the land requires more and more fertilizers, the demand for manure exceeds the supply. Manure has suddenly become a seller's market. Some landlords and residents have begun to raise prices, gradually increasing the price of manure cleaning from the previous 20 taels to 60.

-70 taels, and said, "If you want to buy it or not, we can transfer the cleaning rights to other people who accept the price." So some desperate farmers sneaked into residents' homes to steal feces, regardless of the risk of going to jail.

Then, Liu Yangxing made a plan.

When the problems on Kyushu Island are almost solved, the Ming Dynasty will definitely move the people to live here. This means that Kyushu Island needs to build a large number of public toilets, which also means that a large amount of feces will be produced every day.

The Ming Dynasty's plan for Kyushu Island was to be a base for maritime trade and military garrison, not for people to come and farm, so these excrements were of little use to the Ming Dynasty.

If the Tokugawa shogunate sent people to contract the toilets and transport away the bird droppings that were not useful to the Ming Dynasty, it would be a win-win situation.

but!

This seems to be a fair matter, both parties can benefit, but if you, Tokugawa Jiaqi, want to transport the excrement away without paying, isn't that equivalent to making Ming suffer a loss?

If the national treasury makes less money due to your own reasons...

Liu Yangxing couldn't sit still when he thought of the possible consequences.

After some deliberation, Liu Yangxing said to Tokugawa Jiaqi: "Although I really want to agree to the request of the Shunyi County Prince" - Tokugawa Jiaqi was the Ming Dynasty Shunyi County Prince conferred by Zhu Jinsong - "but the county prince probably may

You don’t know yet, but the people in the Central Plains like to plant something wherever they go. When the Ming Dynasty starts to migrate people to Kyushu Island, these excrement can be used for fertilization, so I apologize for not agreeing to it.

The request of the prince."

Tokugawa Jiaqi suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Although Liu Xingyang kept calling himself a lower official and calling himself the county king, Tokugawa Jiaqi also knew in his heart that no matter how unhappy he was, he could only hold it in.

... ...

#Once I have a conflict with Liu Yangxing, Liu Yangxing will definitely not be the unlucky one. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty court will not turn against me. Maybe Liu Yangxing will become an official and make a fortune because of this.

Just when all the Tokugawa family were about to give up, Liu Yangxing continued: "However, since His Highness the Prince has already spoken, it would really be unjustifiable if the official does not agree at all."

"Let's do this. How about I promise to the county king that one-tenth of the cesspools on Kyushu Island will be allocated to the county king first?"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Jiaqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

He refused, but because of his status as the king of Shunyi County, he vomited out one-tenth of it. What does this mean?

This shows that his status as the Prince of Shunyi is very useful!

It also shows that there is no room for change in this matter!
