Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

West Ward.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Many residents of Xifang were standing on the street.

Looking at the strange houses that had been built on the street overnight, I had no idea what they were.

Moreover, there were actually two doors open.

Who has two doors in one room?

"The writing was still there last year. I just took a look inside, and it looks a bit like a latrine. Could it be that Lord Fangzheng built a latrine?"

"What? This nice house has a latrine inside?"

"From now on, everyone will use the restroom here? Who has nothing better to do than come all this way to use the toilet?"

"..."

Just then.

Someone noticed a sign standing on the side, with a wooden box behind it and an opening at the top.

"What does it say on it?"

"Quickly, carry the old scholar over. What time is it? He should be out in the sun. He can also see what the sign says."

The old scholar had someone carry it out again.

Squinting at the sign standing at the door of the house.

"This is a public toilet specially built by the magistrate of the ward to solve the problem of latrine use in the west ward. Everyone can use it for free, but they must not damage the things inside."

"And then..."

Speaking of it.

The old scholar's expression was slightly strange. He rubbed his eyes with one hand to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

"Anyone who defecates in the public toilet can participate in a lottery at the entrance for a chance to win a grand prize of five taels of silver."

boom!

Upon hearing this sentence...

The surrounding people looked dazed.

What?

You get paid to go in and take a dump?

"Is this for real? Who pays money to use a public latrine? Just yesterday they forbade us from using public latrines in the street, and we weren't even allowed to empty the latrines from last night's chamber pots. And today they build this kind of latrine and pay us money?"

Many people around nodded in agreement.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

"We can't go. This latrine is so nicely built; what if we actually go in and get extorted for money afterward?"

"I see!"

At this time.

A man in the crowd suddenly slapped his thigh, looking as if he had just realized something.

"They're forcing us to stop using the public latrines on the street, fining anyone who does, and then building these latrines that can only be used here. That's not like the shops anymore. I think giving them money is a pretense; they're really after them, aren't they?"

"That's definitely not an option."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

That seems to be the case.

and.

Although the ward official seems respectable, how could an official not be greedy for money and try to rob the people of their wealth?

Upon realizing this, the group immediately dispersed.

They didn't even dare to approach public toilets, fearing that if they looked at one, they would be forced to pay money.

Qin Feng heard the news.

They immediately led their men to the entrance of the public restroom.

"Not a single person?"

That shouldn't be happening!

Free toilet access and a lucky draw at the door afterward—you can't find this kind of perk anywhere else.

There wasn't a single person in the entire morning.

What are you all holding back for?

Are you going to save it at home?

"Lord Bousho, at first some people came to the door to take a look, but as soon as they heard that they could draw a prize after relieving themselves inside, they immediately shook their heads and left."

"this……"

Qin Feng frowned, unable to figure out what went wrong.

In the past, people could use the toilets on the street without any problem, but now that public toilets have been built, nobody is using them?

What's wrong with me?

"Arrest a few people and question them."

Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling Qiu Tuizi to grab a few civilians.

On my way here.

You can still find people who find a corner to loosen their belts; this bad habit must be changed.

Otherwise, how will we get shops to move in in the future?

The streets reek of excrement and urine; how could people from other neighborhoods possibly come here to shop?

"Boss...Bomasa-sama."

"Wang Tiedan".

Qin Feng stared at Wang Tiedan, who had been dragged over, and immediately asked:

"Where are you using the toilet these days?"

"Reporting to my master, home."

"Wasn't your outhouse full yesterday? Did you clean it?"

Wang Tiedan's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained.

"It costs five coins to clean the latrine. Since it wasn't cleaned, I... I cleaned some of the ground next to it."

"The outhouse is so close to your house, why don't you use it here?"

They'd rather clean up a little bit than use it on a public toilet outside?

Although Qin Feng hadn't been inside to see what the outhouse looked like at Wang Tiedan's house, Liu Tu had gone in to check it out yesterday.

She didn't drink the fish soup I made for dinner, saying she didn't have much of an appetite and couldn't eat.

You can imagine what kind of scene it was.

"I wouldn't dare," someone said.

"You dare not?"

Wang Tiedan hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied, weeping:

"I really wouldn't dare, sir. My family is poor, and we simply can't afford to use the outhouse outside."

Qin Feng was speechless.

He couldn't help but squint his eyes.

They had someone drag Wang Tiedan aside.

He continued asking the other villagers.

The answers I received were exactly the same, so I didn't dare go up, afraid of being asked for money.

"Don't you recognize these huge characters? When did you ever say you wanted money?"

Qin Feng was absolutely furious.

It was written so clearly in black and white, yet no one believed it. Everyone thought he built the public toilets to make money, and their assumptions were quite logical.

First, they prohibited people from urinating or defecating in the streets, then they built public toilets, forcing people to use them.

It's said that someone just now had to poop in their pants because they were holding it in.

"You bastard!"

"exist!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath and pointed to Wang Tiedan to the side.

"Drag him inside and have sex with him. If we don't get him today, we'll lick the entire street clean later. Hurry up!!!"

Wang Tiedan was dumbfounded.

She was dragged into a public toilet while crying and screaming.

Qiu Tuizi followed him in with two of his brothers, personally pulled down the guy's pants, and the whole group stared intently the entire time.

The thought of licking the entire street clean was unbearable.

Wang Tiedan squatted inside, calculating how much silver his family had left and whether it would be enough to pay the debt later.

"Come over here!"

soon.

After Wang Tiedan finished using the toilet, he was dragged to a table next to the public toilet.

"Put your hand in and pick one yourself."

Seeing this guy crying so hard he could barely stand, Qin Feng's lips twitched.

Pointing at the raffle box, he shouted:

"Hurry up!"

"Yes, I'll go home and get the silver right away, waaaaah..."

Wang Tiedan reached out his hand, trembling.

I felt around inside the box and could clearly feel that it was full of pieces of paper. Without a doubt, the fees were written on them.

Aren't all officials like this?

They don't ask you for money directly; they always use roundabout methods.

After fumbling around for a while, Wang Tiedan gritted his teeth, pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it over with trembling hands.

"Lucky you!"

Qin Feng took it and looked at it.

"Hey, Niu Wu, bring the lard over here and pour him three ounces."

Wang Tiedan blinked hard, his mind blank.

He didn't realize what was happening until a can of lard was shoved into his hand.

Really!

It's actually true!

You can actually win a prize by taking a dump in the outhouse built by Lord Fangzheng.

The heavy lard doesn't lie.

He opened it and saw that it was shiny and clean, without any impurities. Only wealthy families could afford this kind of lard.

Seeing this scene.

The people standing at the back were in an uproar.

but!

Wang Tiedan was forcibly forced in; they'll still charge him even if he comes out...

No one dared to step forward.

"Nobody dares to let me come. Let's see if it's really possible to enter the prize draw!"

A dark-faced man gritted his teeth and walked straight into the public restroom.
