Li Muyun was also a little amused after hearing about this. In fact, it was not just the magistrate of Wannian County, but he had never considered this issue before. Therefore, the omnipotent Prince Xiaoyao finally did a stupid thing to slam the table and make a decision.

Fortunately, the matter was not serious enough to leave. In order not to let the situation continue to worsen, the construction team of the three fat men stopped building roads and houses, and was divided into more than 20 small teams, traveling through towns and rural areas every day, working day and night to build toilets.

Unlike in the past, all new toilets were built with cement. Behind the toilet was a cement pool, which was used to hoard "materials". Then, some larger pits were built in a relatively remote location by the river, which was the legendary septic tank.

With this work alone, the construction team worked hard for nearly a month without sleeping, and finally completed the construction of the toilet before the weather began to turn cold.

Then, the people gave another suggestion: Why is the toilet repair better than our house?

In the rural areas of Datang, most houses were adobe houses and thatched huts. People were so hot in summer and dogs were so frozen in winter.

But what about this newly repaired toilet? What a guy, with big blue bricks and tiles, it’s so unrestrained. Those who don’t know thought it was the village chief’s house when they entered the village, but when they saw it, they regretted it.

However, with the rise of these toilets, the environmental sanitation in Wannian County has really changed a lot.

In the past, mosquitoes and flies were flying around, and the dirty and messy situation disappeared, and the air was much fresher than before. In addition, the construction of garbage dumps, all the garbage that was discarded randomly was piled up together, and a dedicated person was responsible for cleaning, organizing, transporting, and finally burying and destroying them.

Speaking of burial, I have to add that there was not so much industrial waste in the Tang Dynasty, and the garbage generated could basically be degraded naturally, without batteries and plastic, which made the garbage disposal work many times easier than in later generations.

Moreover, after more than a month of adaptation, the health situation in Wannian County has greatly improved, which has also made the people of Wannian County feel an inexplicable sense of superiority. When walking on the road, the waist straightened and their heads tilted. Even in Chang'an City, the people under Wannian County are much more prouder than the people under Chang'an County.

Why? Because we are civilized people, only civilized people will not urinate or defecate anywhere, only civilized people will not litter, and similarly, only civilized people will not cause trouble to the government.

I have to say that sometimes special treatment can really achieve unexpected results. If such a one-size-fits-all environmental sanitation management work was placed in later generations, it would probably be the people who would have been blown up long ago, but in the Tang Dynasty, hehe, under the Three Woods, who dares not accept it?!

The people of Wannian County are unable to resist under the imperial edict, so they can only defeat themselves with the spiritual victory method, so they have an inexplicable sense of superiority.

The great His Majesty Li Er finally couldn't suppress the desire in his heart. Through a home visit, he turned Li Muyun out of the back garden again.

"Boy, what's the smell here? Are you playing shit?" Li Er asked with his nose covering his nose from the big jar.

Li Muyun staggered and almost fell into the big tank. He turned around and said with a laugh and crying, "Brother, you are the emperor, how can you say this?"

Yes, as a civilized person, you cannot talk about filthy things like shit and urine. Not to mention the emperor, even students in the Imperial Academy would not be so casual.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin just snorted disdainfully and didn't accept him at all. He continued the topic just now: "Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing? Tell me."

"Making paper!" Li Muyun said concisely.

"What? Papermaking?" Li Er covered his nose and looked into the big tank, then took a few steps back, and said contemptuously: "You made this paper, I'm afraid that no one would use it if you used it to use it in the toilet, right?"

Li Muyun shrugged indifferently: "The paper is a bit outrageous now. Many poor students are unable to buy it. However, my paper is made of reeds and weeds. After making it out, it is probably more than ten times cheaper than what is sold on the market."

Li Shimin didn't believe Li Muyun's words at first, but later, when he heard what he said was that he had a nose and eyes, his face began to become solemn. His hand covering his nose also lowered it. He looked at the things in the tank again, turned his head and asked, "Do you know that the crime of deceiving the king is to lose your head."

"Brother, how can you joke about this kind of thing?" Li Muyun smiled bitterly, pointed to the big jar and said, "This is just a preliminary fermentation. Because we don't have a good crushing process, we can only ferment it like this, waiting for the things inside to rot into fibers. As for the taste, it won't exist after it is made into paper."

Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun deeply, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "If you can really make paper ten times cheaper than the current paper, I will directly assign you a first-rate prince."

Li Muyun smiled embarrassedly: "Brother, let's not talk about it if you are not a prince. I plan to build a printing shop. Do you think you will give me a note?"

Li Muyun doesn’t really care about the size of his official position now. As a prince with an empty tube, there is actually no big difference between first-rank and first-rank. What is really important is that making money is the right thing to do.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin looked a little disdainful of his request, glanced at him and said, "A prince as big as you, do you still need me to approve the notes for opening a paper seal shop?"

Li Muyun lowered his voice and said in a divine manner: "Monopoly! Brother, if I am the only monopoly of the Tang Dynasty, I need authority. For example, the "Analects of Confucius" I printed, I need it to be the only publication officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty."

"This..." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. He would not agree to such a request that he could not understand until he could not understand before he could understand it.

Li Muyun saw Li Er's hesitation, thought about it and explained the issues discussed when he met Kong Yingda last time, focusing on the issue of unity.

The quality of many books on the market is uneven. A book of the Analects of Confucius often has several interpretations. Although this has the taste of a hundred schools of thought, it also misleads many scholars.

"Let's talk about it, I need to consider it." After hearing the explanation, Li Shimin still did not make up his mind. After all, this kind of thing is related to many problems in all aspects, and it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

You should know that all the bookstores that were able to publish books in the Tang Dynasty were supported by major forces behind them. This force was either aristocratic family or aristocratic. Deciding Li Muyun's bookstore as the only recognized version of the Tang Dynasty would inevitably cause the rebound of those forces. Li Er did not expect that he would have no way to deal with it.

Li Muyun could roughly guess what Li Er meant, so he did not continue to get entangled, but instead said: "Brother, why are you free to come to me today? Isn't someone suing me again?"

"I didn't sue you, but it's better to go somewhere else to get this thing, otherwise your neighbor will throw stones into your yard in three days." Li Shimin pointed to the big jar and shook his head and said.

Li Muyun touched his nose and smiled, "Don't worry, this brother, as long as the experiment is successful, I will get this thing away immediately."

"Well, just be sure of it." Li Shimin nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard, and arrived at Li Muyun's study in front, and drove everyone out of the room before he told Li Muyun the real purpose: "Boy, your guess is wrong. That monk Biancai has no Lanting preface at all."

Li Muyun denied it without thinking: "It's impossible, that thing must be in his hands."

"What is your basis?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Muyun said with confidence: "Is this still necessary? If I had such a good baby in my hand, I wouldn't be able to confess that I had it."

"Hiss..." Li Er took a deep breath, his eyebrows frowned: "Then this matter is not easy to deal with. The old monk Biancai doesn't admit that things are in his hands, so I can't use force..."

"Then let's cheat, it's not..." Li Muyun thought of the legend in later generations and said casually that he had done it. Fortunately, he woke up in time and changed his words temporarily: "It's not that there are such talents."

"Correction? Talents? Who do you think is the most suitable?" Li Shimin was happy when he saw Lie, and secondly, he was worried that his reputation would be damaged. In desperation, he could only discuss it with Li Muyun, a not-so-reliable guy.

Fortunately, although Li Muyun is not very reliable, he has a big idea and can always think about problems from an angle that others cannot consider. So Li Er also treats him as a living person, intending to try if there is really a way for him.

Although Li Muyun didn't know much about history, he had heard a lot of legends about the preface to the Lanting Collection. At this time, when Li Shimin asked about it, a name flashed through his mind, but after thinking for a long time, the name was on his lips but couldn't call it. So he tickled, "Brother, I heard that there was a censor named Xiao in the court."

Li Shimin thought for a while: "The surname is Xiao, shouldn't you be talking about Xiao Yi?"

Li Muyun suddenly said, "Oh, yes, it's this person, this person's belly full of colorful intestines. You just need to hand over the task to him and ensure that he can get this done for you."

Li Shimin was speechless, staring at Li Muyun and then looking at him until he felt a little furious. Then he said, "You are so unique in praising people, and you are full of colorful things. Why don't you say it's too tricky?"

Li Muyun raised his thumbs at Li Er and said with some admiration: "The emperor's brother is knowledgeable and powerful, but I am much better than me. I can't think of such a knowledgeable idiom to praise people."
