Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 219 Don't want money, just feces?
George III didn't know that Franz I was shameless, but George III knew that Louis XVI must be shameless.

As one of the five benevolent people of Little Broken Pot, Louis XVI licked the Emperor of Ming Dynasty everywhere, put Ming Dynasty first in everything, and did not give others a chance to show off. This perfectly explained how many ways to write the word licking dog .

After being silent for a long while, King George III finally couldn't help but tentatively asked: "If, I mean if, if there is a conflict between the Ming Kingdom and Europa, or Ming Dynasty wants to enter Europa, what do you plan to do?"

Louis XVI asked rhetorically: "Do you think it is possible? Before thinking about any problems, 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 and said: "A statistical data was published in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty. There are 410 million people in the Ming Dynasty, but the land of the Ming Dynasty is 800 million square kilometers. There are less than 18 people per kilometer, which belongs to the state of many lands and few lands.”

"For the time being, let's not consider whether Da Ming has the ability to send troops across the sea to fight in Europa, nor consider the issue of supplies for cross-sea operations. Even if Da Ming can march into Europa, how can he occupy the land of Europa?"

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

"Even if you want to attack Ottoman, it's for Ottoman's oil, and at the same time, it's also for the sake of making a fool of yourself. But what does Europa have? Does Europa have oil? Or does Europa have a lot of gold and silver?"

"Compared to Daming, Europa is a poor country. You still expect Daming to take the initiative to send troops to occupy Europa? Do you want Daming to come to Europa to help the poor? What good things do you think!"

George III was choked speechless.

After another long silence, George III asked again: "Are you really going to study Ming Dynasty in an all-round way? Including the court and army of France?"

Louis XVI nodded his head as a matter of course, and said: "Of course, it is not shameful to learn from the strong, but the shame is that you are unwilling to learn when you have the opportunity to learn from the strong.

"In fact, if it's not impossible to find enough general translators, I'm even planning to offer Chinese and Chinese characters courses in French schools, so that French people have the opportunity to learn Chinese and Chinese characters from an early age."

George III nodded and fell silent again.

Including the imperial court and the army, they all studied the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way, and even the schools had to offer courses in Chinese and Chinese characters. This is no longer a word that can describe it. This is simply crazy, completely crazy—— Is it going to turn France into a Xiaoming country?
Looking at George III who fell into silence, Louis XVI couldn't help but feel a little proud.

What happened to copying everything from the Ming Dynasty?
Compared with everything in France, Ming's system is more advanced, Ming's army is more capable of fighting, Ming's writing is more beautiful, Ming's language is more elegant, the most advanced knowledge is written in Chinese characters, and the most advanced knowledge is written in Chinese characters. Advanced technology is the standard of the Ming Dynasty. If France does not learn from the Ming Dynasty, is it necessary to guard the dilapidated and decayed things and wait to be swept into the garbage dump of history?

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

After a moment of self-satisfaction, Louis XVI said again: "I am going to conscript some corvees in Paris to clean up the feces outside Paris, and no matter who dissuades me, it is impossible to shake my determination."

"After the feces inside and outside the city are cleaned up, the Seine River silted up by feces will be dredged, and more flowers and trees will be planted, so that the people of Paris can have a beautiful living environment like the people of Ming Dynasty."

"There are also Versailles, Fontainebleau, and Marly Palace. These places also need to be cleaned up, and regular toilets must be built."

Speaking of this, Louis XVI's heart moved, he looked at George III and asked: "I remember, your London's sanitary conditions are not very good? And the Thames..."

A string of words beginning with F and S in response to Louis XVI.

The French in Paris like to dispose of it anywhere, and the English in London also like to dispose of it anywhere. The French in Paris like to dump feces on the street, outside the city, and in the Seine River, and the English in London also like to dump excrement on the street, outside the city, and in the Seine River. The Thames dumped dung, the Seine was clogged with dung, and the Thames naturally did not escape.

The Italian adventurer Giacomo Casanova often saw people standing on the side of the road or leaning against buildings "opening the gate to release water" in full view. The British writer Samuel Pepys even recorded in his diary, His wife squatted on the road "doing her 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 street. Animal offal, fur, and filth could be seen everywhere on the street, and even pigs, cows, etc. Animals such as sheep and sheep running and dragging indiscriminately on the street.Some Londoners couldn't bear the humiliation, so they stepped on [-]cm high heels to avoid contact with these feces.

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

After spouting an unknown number of words starting with F and S, George III tugged at his collar, breathed heavily and said to Louis XVI: "Well, you have successfully convinced me. 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, feces in London and the Thames."

……

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

Before coming to Kyushu Island, Liu Yangxing had tried to supplement the knowledge about the Wa Kingdom, and knew that the Wa Kingdom was an island country with scarce resources, but Liu Yangxing never imagined that the Wa Kingdom was so poor that even the supply of excrement was insufficient.

This matter has to be talked about when Liu Yangxing first arrived in Kyushu Island.

As the first governor of Kyushu Island in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yangxing had to make preparations before Daming moved the people to Kyushu Island, including but not limited to planning the blueprint for the future of Kyushu Island, setting up the framework of the governor's office, and sending people to monitor The governor's office and the construction of local government offices and so on.

However, before Liu Yangxing could plan the blueprint for the future of Kyushu Island, Tokugawa Ieki came to the door first.

Ieji Tokugawa said that there is no doubt that Kyushu Island will belong to Daming from now on, but Iechi Tokugawa wants to contract all the toilets of Daming in Kyushu Island and ensure that they are cleaned. The only conditions are these The feces should belong to the Japanese country.

Liu Yangxing was dumbfounded at the time.

No money, just shit?
As a member of the Tangkou of the Central Plains, Liu Yangxing certainly knows that feces can be used for composting, but the area of ​​Kyushu Island is not small, and some people will be relocated to live in the future, and the amount of feces produced every day is quite a lot. The task means that the Wa country has to pay a lot of manpower and material resources, but the reward is Daming's excrement. This matter...

How short of dung is the Japanese country?

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

Most of the land in Japan is sandy soil, which has a lot of sand and rough particles. Although it has good air permeability, it contains less nutrients, and at that time, not every household in the Japanese countryside could raise livestock. , so farmers in Japan can only rely on human feces as fertilizer to improve the soil, thereby promoting the growth of crops.

At that time, the Wa people regarded being convenient at a friend's house as an act of generosity—it was a gift.

In order to have sufficient supply of manure, some Japanese farmers will pay a certain amount of manure fees to surrounding families, hotels and other places, and then make manure into fertilizer suitable for crop growth, thereby enhancing the harvest of crops, and even for a period of time, some scale In order to increase the harvest of manure, the larger hotels will increase the accommodation capacity of the inn by reducing the rent.

As the land needs more and more fertilizers, the demand for manure is greater than the supply, and manure suddenly becomes a seller's market. Some landlords and residents start to sit on the ground and raise prices, gradually increasing the price of manure cleaning from the previous 20 taels to 60-70 Two, and said "If you like to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, we can transfer the cleaning rights to other people who accept the price", so that some desperate farmers sneaked into residents' homes to steal manure regardless of the risk of going to prison.

Then, Liu Yangxing made up his mind.

When the problems on Kyushu Island are almost resolved, Daming will definitely move people to live here, which means that Kyushu Island needs to build a lot of public toilets, which also means that a lot of feces will be produced every day.

And Daming's plan for Kyushu Island is a base for sea trade and garrison, not for the common people to come and farm, so these feces are of no use to Daming.

If the Tokugawa shogunate sent someone to contract the toilet and take away the feces that were of no use to birds for Daming, it would be a win-win situation.

but!

This matter seems fair and both parties can benefit, but if you, the Tokugawa family, want to transport the excrement away without paying, wouldn't that be tantamount to making Daming suffer?

If due to my own reasons, the treasury has made less money...

Thinking of the possible consequences, Liu Yangxing couldn't sit still.

After some consideration, Liu Yangxing said to the Dechuan family Qi: "Although the governor really wants to agree to the request of the Shunyi County King" - Dechuan Jiaqi is also the Ming Shunyi County King conferred by Zhu Jinsong - "However, the County King probably may I don’t know yet, the people in the halls of the Central Plains like to grow things wherever they go. When Daming starts to move people to Kyushu Island, these feces can be used for composting, so please forgive me for not agreeing. The king's request."

Tokugawa Iezaki was suddenly a little upset.

Don't look at Liu Xingyang's self-proclaimed subordinate official and the county king over and over again, but Tokugawa Jiaqi also knows in his heart that no matter how upset he is, he can only hold back.

Once I have a conflict with Liu Yangxing, it will definitely not be Liu Yangxing who is unlucky, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Ming court will not be against me, maybe Liu Yangxing will become an official and get rich because of this.

Just when the Dechuan family was about to give up, Liu Yangxing continued: "However, since His Royal Highness has already opened his mouth, it would really be unreasonable for the subordinate officials not to agree at all."

"How about this, the next official will first agree to a part of the county king, that is, one tenth of the cesspit in Kyushu Island will be allocated by the county king, how about it?"

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iezari's eyes lit up immediately.

He refused, but because of his status as the king of Shunyi, he spit out a tenth of it. What does it mean?
This shows that his status as the king of Shunyi County is very good!
It also shows that there is no room for change in this matter!

After thinking about it, Tokugawa Ieki simply asked tentatively: "What if Xiao Wang wants to get more cesspit?"
