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

On Xifang Street.

It was so crowded that even the locals who set up stalls in the market came over.

I watched the man walk into some kind of public toilet.

I want to see if it's really possible to enter the lottery.

After all, Wang Tiedan was still carrying a few ounces of lard in his arms. Pork was something that families usually only used during the Lunar New Year.

"They're out!"

After the person came out.

Everyone immediately looked at the box on the side.

Thank you for your patronage!

Qin Feng stood behind the lottery box, and as the man took out a slip of paper from inside, he took it, opened it, and read it.

He helplessly spread his hands.

"I wasn't particularly lucky."

"Doesn't using the latrine inside guarantee you'll get something? How come he got three ounces of lard? I got nothing here."

Qin Feng saw that the number of people gathered was about right.

He stood up and shouted loudly:

"Anyone who takes care of their personal life in the public toilet can enter a lottery once a day. However, not everyone can win this prize; it is a matter of chance. Moreover, the event will only last for ten days, and there will be a first prize every day, with a reward of five taels of silver."

"You can pick it up on-site, don't worry, and the public restrooms will not be free in the future."

"The grand prize hasn't been drawn yet, everyone has a chance, so don't miss it."

The words fell.

Everyone exchanged glances.

Many people immediately grabbed their belts and rushed into the public restroom.

They actually gave me money!

Moreover, the event only lasts for ten days, and the highest prize you can win in a day is five taels of silver. If someone is lucky enough to win twice in ten days, they can only earn ten taels of silver in a year.

Public toilets are incredibly popular.

Throughout the streets of Xifang, people were queuing up to use the public toilets.

Qiu Tuizi led his men to maintain order.

People have already started fighting over a spot inside.

at the same time.

On Xifang Street, several people dressed in coarse cloth jackets held notes that read "Thank you for your patronage" in their hands, their faces so gloomy they could drip water.

It's not because I didn't win the lottery.

It's not because their voices were stolen.

"Hurry back and tell my brother that they're building this public toilet in Xifangfang. Where will we eat in the future? We won't even need to use the outhouse at home anymore; we'll just have to go here. What will we eat then?"

One of the men gritted his teeth, took a deep look at the queue for the public toilet, and quickly left with his men.

"Have you found the place I was told to look for?"

Inside an empty shop.

Qin Feng sat at the door, staring at the people queuing to use the public toilet. He remembered something and asked Liu Tu, who was sitting to his side.

"Young master, we've found a courtyard outside the city. It's big enough, and we've already started digging it."

"Okay, that's good!"

While building public toilets can improve the sanitation environment in Xifang, several of them require daily cleaning and will need to be emptied when full.

In other words, it requires money to maintain.

As for how the silver came about.

After thinking it over, Qin Feng decided that it would be better to collect all the excrement and bury it in one place to compost.

Whether it's sold to outside landowners in the future or used to build a farm in the name of Xifang, it will be useful.

Everything here is completely natural, without any technology or grueling work.

"I'm posting a job ad these next couple of days, for about a dozen people. They need to be in good health and able to endure hardship. If you have a nose problem, you'll be given priority."

"Um!"

Liu Tu nodded, pouting helplessly.

It might be difficult to find suitable candidates.

Although the people were poor, it was hard to find a man to clean the latrines.

"By the way, where's Constable Li? Did he come to the West Ward today? What kind of efficiency is that? The gangs haven't been cleaned up yet? Send someone to tell him to find out who the latrine cleaners in the capital are!"

Compost can be sold for money.

In the capital, this group of people were collecting night soil from ordinary people's homes, and they even charged them money.

Earn money from both ends.

You should know that although this business may seem shabby, as long as it's in a city, whether it's the capital or a small county, you can't do without these people, and they earn a lot of money with very high profits.

Based on the experience in Yunxiang County, this kind of business is usually controlled by gangs.

Since Xifang is preparing to enter this business, it is naturally impossible for it to only operate one workshop; it must be the entire capital.

……

Dongfang.

Inside a painted boat on the lake within the city.

"Hehe, let grandpa touch it. Tell me, has someone else touched it these past few days? How come it's gotten so much bigger?"

Zhao, who was half-blind, had a girl in his arms and asked with a smile.

"Master Zhao... what nonsense are you talking about? I only think about you, there's no one else. You've broken my heart."

"Hmph, you just want my money, don't you?"

talking.

Zhao Banxia took out a tael of silver and threw it into the girl's clothes, just as he was about to carry her up to the painted boat.

"Big brother!"

suddenly.

Several burly men rushed in from outside.

"What's up?"

"Something terrible has happened; Xifang's business has been robbed."

"Who dares to steal my business? Where is he? Tie him up and bring him over tonight, then drown him in the latrine."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Banxia lost all interest in traveling with the girl. He pushed her aside and hurriedly asked what had happened.

In a place like Beijing, the only reason someone can live so carefree every day is because of their job of shoveling night soil.

Outsiders don't know how much money can be made here.

He's been doing this for so many years, so he knows very well.

Throughout the entire capital city, in all its many neighborhoods, whether it was a wealthy family or an ordinary citizen, they were the ones who cleaned the outhouses in their homes.

A fee of five coins per session is indeed not much.

But the manure was valuable; after being composted, it could be transported to counties near the capital and sold for a considerable amount of silver.

Through this business, in addition to the silver paid to his subordinates, Zhao Banxia could earn at least 200 taels a month.

That's more than two thousand taels of silver a year.

"Brother, what kind of public toilet did Xifang build outside?"

What is a public toilet?

"It was built by the magistrate of Xifangfang. People could use the latrines inside for free. After they finished, they could enter a lottery. The first prize was five taels of silver. People lined up outside to use the latrines."

The dark-faced man gritted his teeth and continued:

"Moreover, they're recruiting people and telling the residents of Xifang that once they have enough people, they'll help clean the outhouses in their homes for free. Brother, if they do this, we won't get a single business in Xifang anymore."

"Damn it, how dare you?"

Zhao Banxia kicked over the table.

He stood up angrily.

"Tell the men to grab their weapons and head straight to the West Ward. I don't care about public toilets, I'll raze them to the ground. They're trying to steal my money, they're asking for trouble!"

Xifang did it this way.

How will they earn money in the future?

People don't have to pay to clean the latrines; it's all free. You can even enter a prize draw after using a public toilet.

Who can stand this?

It doesn't take much time.

Within ten days at most, the entire capital city will know about this news.

By then, who would still hire them to clean latrines?

"Send someone to inform the head constable of the Jingzhao Prefecture. I pay him so much tribute every month; if this business falls through, he won't get any money left. Tell him to take his men and go there too!"

"We're going to tear down the public toilets in Xifang today!"

"Walk!"

After a while.

Zhao Banxia, ​​leading dozens of his men, stormed towards Xifang in a rage.
