Chapter 631 Start with Environmental Sanitation (Part 2)

Of course, Li Muyun knew that the money would not be collected after investing it, but for the sake of the sanitation environment of his fiefdom, he had to pay the money. It was precisely because of this that he set his mind to Wannian County and asked Wannian County Magistrate to do this in the official name, and he would advance the money.

The benefits of this change in environmental sanitation should be obvious. It will not take long for some frequent infectious diseases to reduce a lot. As long as there is such a change, it will not be difficult for him to convince the emperor in the palace to carry out national governance. Even though he doesn't have to worry about this matter, he can find opportunities to reimburse the money he invested.

County Magistrate Tang didn't know what Li Muyun was planning, but was just out of kindness, so he reminded him, of course, he was more afraid that someone would come to trouble him afterwards.

As a result, Li Muyun just smiled disapprovingly: "Old Tang, don't you do this matter with confidence. Didn't I just say that as long as you get this done, there will be your benefits at that time. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it. Even if you can't take it back, I won't blame you."

Hearing Li Muyun say this, the magistrate Tang was relieved and asked him: "Since that's the case, then the official will immediately order the whole county to be politically politicized as you wish?"

Li Muyun nodded: "Well, the faster the better, and not just those toilets, but also garbage. All garbage must be piled up in designated locations and must not be thrown around at will. Otherwise, if someone reports it, you will be punished by ten boards..."

The magistrate of Tang originally thought that Li Muyun just asked him to order the demolition of the cottages built along the river. However, when Li Muyun finished speaking, Old Tang's cold sweat fell again. This was not the next notice, it was simply a decree. If it was really issued, the people would probably rebel.

What? You said no? Yes, it is true that you can’t really rebel, but it will not be much better than rebel if you really make a fuss.

You cannot litter, urinate and defecate anywhere, pour sewage randomly, drink raw water, wash clothes in the river, and cannot... In short, Li Muyun mentioned more than twenty "can'ts", and if there are any violations, all of them will be ten boards.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were used to it casually. It was normal to urinate under the walls of their own homes when they went out. However, it was better to send Li Muyun's orders, and he would have to be beaten to urinate ten times.

There is also drinking raw water. How can ordinary people pay so much attention to it these days? How can they not drink raw water? I haven’t seen anyone go home just to drink a sip of water when they work in the field. Isn’t that nonsense?

But then again, his little arm can't twist his thighs. King Xiaoyao insisted on doing this. He, a county magistrate, could not resist. Anyway, if something happened, there was a tall one to hold him up. What was he afraid of a small fifth-rank county magistrate?

So, this local clause that seemed very unrestrained to the Tang County Magistrate was published so far, and the three major articles were directly posted on the public notice board outside.

In addition, the county's head Bo and others were not idle either. Each of them held a pen and a thick stack of papers to copy there, because the prince who could tossed said that he had to send it to every village so that everyone in the county knew that there was such a thing.

Of course, if there is a punishment, there will be rewards. Xiaoyao King is a wealthy person. The family has money. At the end of the article, if anyone has not been reported for three consecutive months, the household will be exempted from all agricultural taxes this year and will be rewarded with funds.

When writing this article, the county magistrate Tang was relieved by a little bit of his heart, and he didn't have to worry about being sacked and being beaten to death when he went out.

The originally peaceful Chang'an City was completely blown up with the promulgation of this local clause in Wannian County. The people living in the city did not have much land at home, so they could not enjoy the so-called reward at all, but if they violated any of the clauses, they would need to be punished.

The people with land outside the city were also furious. Everyone got used to it casually on weekdays. The suddenly promulgated provisions were like a shapeless spell, limiting all their habits, how could it be tolerated?

For a moment, complaints arose, and some competitive young people were willing to challenge authority and threw things they didn't want to throw as garbage at the county government office.

As a result, in just one afternoon, half of the sticks in the county gate were reduced, all of which were spanked and discounted. The news also came to the palace, alarming His Majesty the Emperor who was infuriating for the preface to the Lanting Collection.

Li Muyun stood in front of Li Shimin with his spit on his face, looking at Li Er who was furious and as if he had mania, his face was full of innocent words. Since he was recruited into the palace in the afternoon, the imperialist leader has been scolding for nearly half an hour. I really don’t know where the spiritual leader came from.

"Li Muyun, what do you mean? What do you want to do? Do you want to cause civil rebellion? A few days ago, I threatened Yuan Tiangang not to have the same knowledge as you. Then you went to provoke those monks again. I also didn't have the same knowledge as you. As a result, it's better now. I've become more and more powerful and started to trouble my people. What do you want to do and what do you want to do?!"

Li Shimin was spitting and starry-like flying around, and after half an hour, Li Muyun stood pitifully, but in order not to let Li Er spitting into his mouth, he didn't dare to say a word. Until Li Er scolded for another quarter of an hour, he was so tired that he spoke: "Your Majesty, I have no choice."

"A last resort? Will you have to? What's your choice? You say!" Li Er drained the cold tea in one mouthful, pointed at Li Muyun and cursed.

Li Muyun took two steps back and saw that Li Er had no intention of smashing the cup over, so he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, do you know the miracle doctor Sun Simiao?"

Li Shimin sat back on the chair, rubbed his legs that were a little numb because he had been walking back and forth for too long, and said angrily: "What do you want to say? Just say something if you have something, just say it, and don't keep it there."

"Your Majesty, Sun Simiao has been doing free medical treatment in my clinic. He found that there have been many patients with vomiting and diarrhea around Chang'an for a while. These people are not very sick, but there are many. If there is no death, it is almost no different from a small plague."

"What do you want to say? What do you mean is a plague around Chang'an?" Li Shimin's expression became serious.

Li Muyun shook his head: "No, it's not a plague, it should be a large-scale infectious disease. Although it won't die, its impact is very wide."

Li Er knew that Li Muyun would never be aimless. After contacting the cause and effect, he frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with your random trouble? Do you want to say that if the people do everything according to the provisions you have made, they will not get sick again?"

"Your Majesty, I am not sure, so I asked Wannian County Magistrate to issue a clause to try it out. If the people do what the article says and the number of people suffering from illness begins to decrease, it will prove that this measure is correct. Besides, this is also a good intention. The people do not have the awareness of environmental sanitation, so I can only restrain them through coercive means, keep them away from the dirty and messy, and no longer live the life of more than ten upstream people being cottages, and then they are washing rice downstream."

After listening to Li Muyun's explanation, Li Er didn't say anything for a long time. I don't know if he was so angry that he said nothing or was touched by his words. After a long time, he said: "Even if you are right, even if you are out of good intentions, do you still have to do bad things with kindness? Do you know how much public grievances will cause if you do this?"

Hearing that Li Shimin's tone had eased, Li Muyun took two more steps forward, took the hot tea delivered by the palace maid, put it next to Li Er, and said with great slut: "Brother, aren't you still there? You can't see if you are in trouble without saving me?"

"Get out of my sight right away." Li Shimin didn't even look at Li Muyun, and raised his hand to point to the direction of the palace gate. He was really angry, but there was no good idea. After all, Li Muyun did this out of kindness, but he was a little too impatient and did bad things with kindness.

Li Muyun also knew that he was really too hasty this time, but he was a little unwilling to leave just like this, so he moved out two steps and turned to look at Li Er: "Brother, then look at this matter..."

A cup and hot tea rolled in, and at the same time, a sound that rang half of the palace: "Get out!"

Facts have proved that Li Er was still quite able to listen. Just half an hour after Li Muyun left the palace, an imperial edict was sent to the county magistrate of Wannian County, focusing on declaring that Wannian County should be used as a pilot to carry out large-scale environmental governance work. If there is any mistake, it will be distributed to Lingnan.

The magistrate of Tang County took the imperial edict and wanted to cry without tears, but he did not dare to scold Li Muyun's ancestors for eight generations. After all, this man was the godson of the Supreme Emperor, and scolding him was equivalent to scolding the Supreme Emperor. Even if Lao Tang used his liver as a courage, he would not dare to do such a thing.

Fortunately, with the imperial edict, he doesn't have to worry about public grievances. The people of Wannian County heard that they had the emperor's will, and no one or two dared to make trouble. Except for some who are very brave and have thick skin, they will basically do it according to the new provisions.

For a time, a wave of personal hygiene was set off in the entire Wannian County. The first sentence of meeting every day changed from the original "Is it eaten" to "Is it beaten with a board?"

The usually foul-stenched garbage pile was cleaned up overnight under the pressure of the imperial edict; toilets built by the river were also demolished overnight.

Of course, because the toilet was removed too thoroughly, there were many more people in Wannian County who were beaten with boards.
