"This is ambergris...!"

The large warehouse of the slaughterhouse contains a large amount of ambergris in whales. This ambergris is a solid wax-like combustible substance with a dark gray or black color, with its unique sweet earthy aroma (similar to isopropanol).

The essence of ambergris is a dry product of secretions from the intestines of sperm whales from the family sperm whales. Some sperm whales will spit it out, while others will be excreted from the intestines. Only a small number of sperm whales leave it in their bodies. The ambergris discharged into the sea is initially light black, but under the action of sea water, it gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally becomes white.

The first country in the world to discover ambergris was ancient China. In the Han Dynasty, fishermen caught some grayish white and fragrant wax-like drifts in the sea. This is the finished ambergris that has naturally degeneration after years of natural degeneration.

From a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms, there is a strong fishy smell, but it can emit a lasting aroma after drying. When ignited, it is even more fragrant than musk. Some local officials contributed it to the emperor in the court as a spice or as a medicine after purchasing it.

A small gram can be sold for hundreds of cents of money, and it is still priceless.

"My goodness, there are so many ambergris here, how much does it cost to sell?" Li Yan sighed at the ambergris full of the warehouse.

However, Li Heng was a little sad: "How many whales do you have to kill to get so much ambergris."

"Haha..." Li Xiang smiled at this time: "Sister Li Heng doesn't have to be sad. In fact, we treat whales at the same time. We will not kill or catch them indiscriminately, but there are too many whales in Dengzhou Bay now.

There have been many whales capsizing ships. We will only hunt whales that block the route. But there are too many whales. Now, the fleet with whaling ability is the only one in Dengzhou. If we don’t hunt, then more people on the big ships will die in the sea."

"Oh...!" Li Mingda nodded: "Last time I saw a boy. His father fell into the sea and was drowned because the whales overturned his father's ship. He could not find his body. Although these whales do not eat people, some like pranks, but they don't know that many people have to pay the price of their lives for a small prank."

"Yes...so don't be sad, believe in your father. He is really kinder than any of us." Li Yan smiled and touched Li Heng's head. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Since everyone is so together today, Uncle Six invites you to dinner..."

When everyone heard about eating, their eyes lit up.

Li Jue quickly asked happily: "Go to the first floor..."

"Puff..." Li Yan felt a pain. At this time, Li Mingda on the side quickly shouted: "Of course it's the first floor. There are other places in Dengzhou. Can I deserve my sixth brother's identity?"

As he said that, a group of little guys cheered collectively, only Li Yan patted his mouth repeatedly. What's this called a matter of being soft-hearted, and they were slaughtered by these guys.

But now I can't regret it. After all, I am an uncle. I have no choice but to get on Li Mingda's four-wheeled carriage again, and a group of people began to return to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou City in the second year of Yonghui, after three years of continuous improvement, Dengzhou City now has no longer the feeling of old and dilapidated people as before. The current Dengzhou City has a height of 2,860 meters in the west, a height of 2,100 meters in the north, a height of 2,950 meters in the east, and a height of 2,200 meters in the south.

There are about 6 square kilometers, and there are about 117 football fields in one square kilometer. The city walls are made of bricks and stones and cement, and they are solid and majestic. All the roads in the city are solidified with cement. The carriages are walking on them very quickly without any bumps.

The roads in the city are basically two-way roads. Li You also formulated some road traffic rules, such as pedestrians and carriages must go to their right and are not allowed to walk around. If you want to walk around, there will be patrolling city officials in the city to punish you.

After the horse enters the city, a basket has to be hung behind the butt, and the horse's feces must be cleaned. If it accidentally falls on the road, then it will cost 100 cigars at one time, 300 cigars at two times, and you will get out of the city three times, and you will only be able to enter the city again after a month.

In Dengzhou City, there is a street light every twenty steps, a rest chair for fifty steps, and a toilet for one hundred steps. By the way, this toilet is really important.

You know, when Li You came to Dengzhou, to be honest, it was really a headache. The street was full of dirty things. Li You walked well and saw someone taking off his pants and going to the toilet. We all know that Western cities are very dirty.

Farmers dig a simple pit in the backyard and even if it is a toilet, urban residents usually use pots at home. After pulling it, picking up pots l and opening the window and pouring it on the street, it is perfect! But it makes the pedestrians on the street...

In London, England in the 14th century, the urine and defecation that were dumped on the street, coupled with the feces of livestock, rotten fish and shrimps, and mud, piled up on the street into a thick layer, making the whole city of London smell bad. In order to prevent the pedestrians from getting their pants and skirts from getting stuck, they had to wear high-soled shoes when going out. However, sometimes the soles of the shoes are too high and the road is too slippery, and they fall down to the front. The taste is so sour and refreshing!

But it’s not so good for us. Even in the early years of the Republic of China, many ordinary people did not change their habits of urinating and defecating anywhere. In addition, some livestock manure and other things, the urban sanitation was not much better than that in the Middle Ages!

Everyone knows Tongrentang in the capital. There is a square in front of this Tongrentang. Every morning, the guys from Tongrentang come together. The first task is to clean the square, because at this time, there are all light gold on the square overnight. At night, many people around come to this square to solve the problem.

Fortunately, Tongrentang was not annoyed, thinking that this was wealth. Of course, there was no need for the boss to clean it anyway. The guy was going to clean it. Once a day, at that time, if you went over and said that you could not urinate or defecate anywhere, you would definitely be scolded. Do you care about the heavens and earth, and do you care about labor and capital to go to the toilet?

However, Li You is from the future, so he knows the harm of urination and defecation everywhere, which can breed bacteria and may cause plague. So when the Dengzhou City was rebuilt, Li You issued a death order. There must be a public toilet in one hundred steps, and the toilets are divided into men and women. All Dengzhou people are not allowed to urinate and defecate on the street.

Five hundred documents at a time... two times one-time money... the fine was very heavy, and there was no sympathy at all. With such strength, Dengzhou City finally became a clean city. At least anyone who came to Dengzhou City for the first time would involuntarily give a thumbs up for the cleanliness of Dengzhou City.
