The power of aristocrats includes land rights, military rights, and a series of privileges. The use of toilets belongs to the privileges. If it is not distinguished from the civilians, how can the nobleness of aristocrats be reflected?
Augustus knew that class concepts were deeply rooted in this world, and it was not a matter of change overnight, and he did not intend to completely overturn it, but just made some appropriate reforms.
Putting the papyrus on the desk, Augustus walked to Cicero, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said.
"I am a baron and a nobleman, and the people are civilians, so you think I can use toilets, but it is not possible to lead the people. But in the eyes of the Lord God, we are all mortals, regardless of the nobles and civilians. The Lord God taught me that building toilets for the people to use can reduce the spread of various diseases. Will the nobles benefit in this way?"
The main god again?
Cicero and others felt that they had received the most teachings from the Lord God tonight, but the level involved was a bit... strange.
Raymond hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, disease, plague and toilet have nothing to do with it. It is the evil force that the god of death Samu spreads on the continent."
Augustus looked at Raymond and shook his head. It didn't matter if he implemented reforms under the name of the Lord God, but it would be a little bad for his subordinates to talk about it.
"The Lord God is higher than the God of Death. The Lord God teaches me how to fight against the evil forces of Shame, that is, to build a toilet!"
On Earth, human technology has made rapid progress over hundreds of years, inventing countless drugs and devices to make humans healthy and long-lived, but no drug can save more lives than toilets (regulated feces management).
Feces can spread various diseases, which is just the most basic common sense for Augustus. I have learned it in kindergarten, but people in this world don’t understand it and can only blame the gods and demons for what they cannot understand.
Augustus did not intend to talk to Cicero and others about E. coli, fecal oral transmission, etc., because he didn't know what to say so that several people could understand these advanced knowledge with a huge span.
When the feudal superstitious theocracy cannot be overturned, use the authority of theocracy to promote your own ideas. Although there are some small flaws, there are no major problems!
As for this, my subordinates naturally had no objection. Several people discussed the construction of toilets in detail.
Cicero discovered that the so-called toilet of the Lord was not a toilet in the traditional sense at all. It was better to say that it was to build a house for the father rather than building a toilet for the private town of Baihe Town...
"Lord, you said that feces...the feces are piled up in a concentrated manner, which can be convenient for later use. What's the use of this excrement?"
Cicero asked in a daze.
Raymond clapped his hands and said, "Sir, I heard of a castle defense measure when I was in the City of Glory (the city of Count Giles). It poured boiled and heated feces down from the top of the city wall, which could effectively block the enemy troops climbing the city wall. Are you planning to use this method to consolidate the city defense?"
Augustus had heard of similar cases. When he was reading on Earth, he said that this method was used to defend the city in ancient times. In TV series, the oil was just a beautification of art. In ancient times, there was a shortage of materials, so how could there be so much oil?
At that time, Augustus admired the courage of the ancients very much. Just imagine the thick soaring hanging on his city wall, which was so sour...
It doesn’t smell good enough when cooling, so it’s more fragrant if you heat it up?
"Well... that, you will know the specific uses in the future. First, build the toilet according to the plan, the faster the better."
After saying that, Augustus handed over a few pages of papyrus to Cicero, with a sketch of the toilet he drew.
Cicero took the sketch from the lord in a heavy mood and said intimately that this is the wisdom of the Lord God, and must not be careless!
After finalizing the toilet, as the highest military commander of Thunderaxe Castle under Augustus, the chief knight Raymond took a step forward and said solemnly.
"Sir, the Thunder Axe Fort army is currently seriously lacking, so it is necessary to recruit soldiers from the Guanghui City recruitment department to fill the army immediately."
Augustus already knew that he was in a world where the strong prey on the weak, and the military gap in his territory was too big, he would inevitably be targeted by bad guys. If you want to be stable, your military power must keep up.
"This matter is very important, Raymond, you can do it yourself."
"There is one more thing to ask you to come here, that... the knights and soldiers who died in the battle of the bandits before, remember to give their families a pension."
Augustus ordered.
Raymond blinked and asked, "Sir, what is the pension?"
"Uh..." Augustus did not realize that there was no pension in this world. He explained: "Pensage means... the soldiers under my command died in battle. As the lord, he compensated the soldiers' families with a sum of money. The pension is calculated based on the monthly salary of two months."
"This is my idea, not the wisdom of the Lord God." Augustus added at the end. He did not want the good things that had accumulated reputation to be snatched by the fictional Lord God.
When Raymond heard about this kind of compensation for the first time, he was quite excited and kneeled on one knee and solemnly performed a knightly salute.
"Your knight, please be loyal to you!"
He had never heard of the system of getting monthly salary after death in battle, at least not in the Kingdom of Hiyes. What a great grace!
"Well, in addition to the pension, the manors of Knight Cassido and Knight Van Ken do not need to be recovered, so they will leave them to their families."
Although the territory of Baihe Town is not too large, it can still accommodate two Knight Manors.
Raymond was so excited that his beard was trembling. After his death, he not only had a pension subsidy to his family, but the manor he exchanged for honor could be retained. In this way, how could he have any worries when fighting for the lord?
He once again expressed his loyalty to Augustus.
This is what Augustus wants. These pension methods are very reasonable. It is better to promote them to increase the sense of belonging and morale of the subordinates.
"Cicero, I started to do relevant publicity when building the toilet. In addition, you can take the time to write me a detailed information about the trade in Baihe Town. It's nothing, you can go out."
"Sir, what's going on in the cultivation of arable land?"
Cicero discovered the most important thing that seemed to have forgotten to say.
"I know what I know about the cultivation of arable land. I will notify you after the arrangement is made."
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the matter must be done one by one. Augustus does not intend to throw all his plans to his subordinates. This will cause trouble and it is enough to be able to solve the hygiene problem in Baihe Town in the shortest time.
After the two left the study, Augustus summoned Beard, the butler of Thunder Axe Castle, and asked him to arrange a very important thing to take a shower.
Taking a bath, which seems to Augustus's most ordinary thing, is difficult for people in this world.
From nobles to civilians, there is a common understanding that the dirt accumulated on the body can resist the evil power of the god of death!
Civilians do not take a bath all year round, and usually only carefully wipe their bodies when the winter celebration is coming, because at that time the God of Harvest is coming, and the evil power of the God of Death is the weakest.
With such a terrible perception, the nobles certainly were unwilling to take a bath, but sometimes they had to take a bath for important banquets. Although they did not know that dirt could cause illness, they knew that bathing could help their bodies get rid of the unpleasant odor.
Augustus didn't know why he promoted the opposite fallacy. He remembered that bathing was popularized in the 13th century on Earth. It seems that the civilization in the world has not yet advanced to that level.
