Chapter 769: The Theory of Reading!

Looking at Guo Jia's almost sluggish complexion, Luo Chen suddenly smiled faintly and said softly: "Feng Xiaoke has ever taken the streets and alleys of Chang'an City?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, but he also understood what Luo Chen meant, and said with a smile: "Your Highness wants to talk about the smell in the alley, right?" ”

Luo Chen smiled and said softly: "It seems that you also know, if you wait until the weather warms up in summer, and the filth accumulates, it is very likely that a plague will occur, and there will be a plague in various places almost every few decades over the years, if it really breaks out in my summer, it will be fatal!" ”

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement, and said softly: "Not only will it benefit the common people, but it can also make a lot of money!" ”

Luo Chen smiled and said softly: "The flush toilet is almost all wooden, so the materials are simple, easy to manufacture, and the cost is low. ”

Old man Li suddenly felt a trace of respect in his heart, His Royal Highness actually broke his heart for them ordinary people, what kind of great ethics is this?

Thinking of this, the eyes that looked at Luo Chen were full of respect!

"Lord!" Guo Jia looked at the toilet bowl and suddenly frowned, and said softly: "There is another question below!" ”

"Although this flush toilet is good, what should I do with the reincarnation of grains that have been flushed away inside?"

Luo Chen smiled and explained softly: "This is even easier!" ”

"If the family has the conditions, you can build a larger urinal, and in time you can use manure to irrigate the farmland!"

"If it's more difficult at home, connect it directly to the large pipeline!"

"When the time comes, most of the feces in the city will be piled up in one place!"

"Pipes?"

Looking at the puzzled looks on the faces of several people, Luo Chen opened his mouth again to explain: "Yes, if the whole city is connected to a pipeline and connected to each other, it will eventually rush in one direction, then the accumulated feces will be very considerable!" ”

"When the time comes, finding someone to be responsible for the public toilet will not only solve many jobs, but also concentrate resources and use them rationally!"

Hearing Luo Chen's explanation, Guo Jia was also impressed, not only to solve the health problems in the city, but also to make profits, and to solve some jobs, and finally use these wastes and convert them into fertilizer!

It's really interlocking!

If some farmland outside the city is covered with manure, then next year's output will be increased by three or five percent!

Don't underestimate this 35% of the food, it may be because of this 35% that you will save a family!

Although it is said that the policy of reducing agricultural taxes has been passed down, the local governments are still in the transitional stage, and there are not two or three years, I am afraid that it will not be implemented!

"The second brother is amazing!" Jiang Yushu couldn't help but exclaim, "One stone, one go, the ultimate benefit, everyone is happy!" ”

"The most important thing is that there are too many displaced people in Chang'an today, if you can solve some of the problems, let them have something to do, have a job to do, and solve the problem of food and clothing, it is also a meritorious thing!"

Therefore, on the other hand, the emergence of public toilets is conducive to public security, social stability, alleviates the surplus of labor, and plays a very important role in the smooth operation of environmental sanitation!

Jiang Yushu is also thinking at the moment, these things are not in the sage book, in other words, it is a problem that the sage book can't solve, but it was easily solved by the second brother, so is it really useful to study hard for ten years?

For the first time, Jiang Yushu had doubts about his hard work for so many years!

If you don't understand, just ask!

"Second brother!"

Luo Chen respectfully bowed to Luo Chen, frowned and said, "I don't know where I found this wonderful idea of the toilet?" ”

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, naturally it was an experience memory from later generations!

He didn't expect this kid to ask like this, his face was stunned for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Naturally, it is to think, observe life, and go deep into the grassroots!" ”

"Observe life, go deep into the grassroots?"

Jiang Yushu suddenly frowned, with a puzzled look on his face!

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Yes! After you asked the question, we went around the street, and after observing and thinking, I had a general idea in my mind! ”

"Huh!"

Jiang Yushu's face was stunned suddenly, and he muttered to himself in his heart, before this, he had also gone deep into the grassroots, and he had turned around more than once, why didn't he think of it?

Just as he was about to speak, Luo Chen suddenly spoke again: "I have another idea!" ”

"Huh?" Old Man Li's face was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of whimsy does Your Highness have any wonderful ideas?" ”

Luo Chen smiled and said, "Wait a minute! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the pen and paper again and said softly: "Lao Li! ”

"The villain is here!"

"Do you have a well at home?"

"Hey, hey!" A carpenter next to him looked at Old Man Li with envy on his face, and said softly: "Your Highness, a few of us have a well in Lao Li's house!" ”

"Yes! His home is a treasure trove of feng shui! Just above the springs! ”

Luo Chen nodded and said softly, "How to get water?" ”

"Tie the bucket with a rope, and take it after the bucket is in the water!"

Luo Chen smiled and said softly: "This is very labor-intensive!" ”

Old man Li nodded and said, "Exactly, if you are young and strong, it is fine, if you are old and weak, women and children, I am afraid that you will not be able to get water!" ”

Luo Chen was silent, drew directly on the paper, and it didn't take long for him to directly draw a very simple wooden rolling lifting rod, handed it over, and chuckled: "Look!" ”

Old man Li reverently held the drawing in his hands with both hands, glanced at it, and vaguely understood the usefulness of this thing!

"With this thing, whether it is fetching water or lifting heavy objects, it can save a lot of effort!"

Old man Li said excitedly: "Your Highness, wait a minute, old man, I will go and ...... Stuff made! ”

Luo Chen nodded with a smile, he didn't doubt his craftsmanship, the level of the ancient craftsman industry was still very high!

It's just that with the changes of the times, many of the unique skills left by the ancestors have been lost, and they have to make people sigh!

Jiang Yushu looked at Luo Chen thoughtfully, and after a long time, he said softly: "Second brother, may learning benefit the people?" ”

Luo Chen's face was also stunned when he heard Jiang Yushu ask like this, is this self-doubting?

"Naturally!"

"But why have I studied hard for more than ten years, but I am helpless in the face of this!"

Luo Chen shook his head with a smile, looked at Guo Jia, and said softly: "Let's go!" Let's go in and talk! ”

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, looked at Jiang Yushu and said with a smile: "Today I am stained with the light of the little grandfather again, and I can feast on my mouth!" ”

Jiang Yushu smiled slightly, at this moment he had fallen into serious self-doubt!

Jiang Yushu came to the door, Luo Chen naturally cooked it himself, and after about half an hour, a table was already set, and Guo Jia had already started drinking it by holding the wine jug!

A trace of helplessness flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, this guy had already been hollowed out by wine at a young age!

"Second brother, reading is useful, but the tricks and tricks are also very unbearable as people say, and even sometimes the sages can't solve the puzzles they learn in the books, but the tricks and tricks can benefit the people, why?"

As soon as he sat down in Jiang Yushu, he couldn't help but ask, Luo Chen suddenly smiled faintly, and said softly: "Reading to cultivate character, self-cultivation, changes in the ancient and modern times, the truth of life, etiquette and morality, learning the way of governing the country, and so on, for the way of reading, it is not exhaustive!" ”

"Although strange skills and tricks are despised by the world, they are indispensable for practical use, improving people's livelihood, strengthening the military, and so on!"

"Just like business!" Luo Chen explained impatiently: "Commerce is the most important thing in a country, but why is there such a thing as a farmer? ”

"Just like our dynasty, including the other six countries, why is there a saying that agriculture is heavy and business is suppressed?"

Guo Jia stroked his beard and said: "It is precisely because of the development of commerce that businessmen have made a lot of profits, so that most people abandon agriculture and do business!" ”

"Exactly!"

Luo Chen nodded with a smile and said softly: "It is precisely because of this that even now, the merchant is still at the bottom!" ”

"This is the inevitable development of the times!"

Luo Chen looked at Jiang Yushu and asked with a smile, "What is the difference between you and the market vendors?" ”

Jiang Yushu's face was a little stunned, and after a long time, he spoke: "This ...... Different backgrounds naturally lead to different identities! ”

"If you let a market vendor replace your position and serve as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, can you?"

Jiang Yushu shook his head directly: "No!" ”

"Why?"

Jiang Yushu was speechless again, but Luo Chen smiled at Guo Jia and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, there is a business way, and the official road is an official way, and it can also become, the way is different!" ”

"Whether it's reading, tricks, or whatever, it's all about strengthening your body, but the focus is different!"

Jiang Yushu listened to the many fresh words in Luo Chen's mouth, secretly wrote them down, and slowly digested them after going back!

Luo Chen and Jiang Yushu didn't eat much in one meal, most of them went into Guo Jia's stomach!

"That's right, my lord!" After Guo Jia ate and drank enough, he looked at Luo Chen with a drunken look: "The thatched house on this street has to be charged?" ”

Luo Chen laughed and said softly: "Naturally, I want it!" ”

"There's still a lot to be prepared for, such as straw paper, spices, and so on!"

Hearing that Luo Chen was about to put spices in the toilet, even Guo Jia couldn't help but be dumbfounded and extravagant!

It's just too extravagant!

Even in the palace, I am afraid that there is no extravagance to the point of using spices for the toilet!

But now nearly 1,000 thatched houses in Chang'an City have to use spices and paper, and paper is used to wipe the buttocks?

Guo Jia had doubts about life for the first time, but Luo Chen was extremely indifferent, with a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "The incense I am talking about is not the kind of spice circulating on the market!" ”

"Moreover, the paper is not rice paper, but ...... Papyrus! ”
