Asking the prince when something happens has become a common practice in the Qin Dynasty!

Needless to say, Ying Zheng's trust in Ying Yu goes without saying. Whenever he encounters any problem, the first person Ying Zheng thinks of is his eldest son, Prince Ying Yu.

"Father, in my opinion, as one of the most common disasters, fire is too destructive, and countless lives and properties have been destroyed by it."

"In recent years, fires have occurred frequently in Daqin, and not just in a specific area. In fact, this can already illustrate a problem, that is, in terms of fire protection, in addition to the relevant officials not being diligent enough, Daqin itself has

There are also quite a few deficiencies in the methods of protection and response to fires, so if you want to solve the current situation of frequent fires, you have to take the right medicine, starting with changing the methods of protection and response to fires."

Ying Yu thought for a moment and then spoke.

Hearing what Ying Yu said, all the ministers in the court nodded in agreement.

After all, if fires occur frequently in one area, it can be said that the officials there have neglected their duties and failed to stick to their posts. But now that fires occur in various places, this is not just a problem of the officials in charge.

"Looking at you, it seems that you already have a countermeasure in mind. Please tell me in detail and let me listen to your suggestions."

Ying Zheng said.

"Father, when I heard about the fire in Xianyang City just now, I did have some ideas. Therefore, I believe that preventing fires should be divided into four parts: understanding fires, controlling fires, preventing fires, and putting out fires.

"

"To understand fire, as the name suggests, is to understand fire and know fire. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will never be in danger. The same is true for preventing fires."

"We can use private schools, universities, books, etc. as a platform to popularize knowledge across the country to popularize the composition of flames to the public, so that the public clearly knows that their actions may cause fires and cause fires.

Maintain your own vigilance, thereby fundamentally reducing the occurrence of fires."

Ying Yu said loudly.

"But Your Highness, although our Daqin is now prosperous and prosperous, and education at all levels has been widely popularized, there are still some places that are relatively remote, lack educational institutions, and do not have relevant books. So what should we do in these places?"

Dun Rui asked from the side.

"If it is an area with few educational institutions, then specially send officials to these rural towns to gather the people, hold lectures and classes, and teach them knowledge about the conditions that cause fires."

"In addition, you can also give classroom tasks to the students in the classroom to encourage them, who know the fire and understand the fire, to spread the word more, so as to achieve the effect of spreading the word from one to ten and from ten to hundreds."

Ying Yu replied.

"I see, I understood it clearly, but what about other aspects?"

Ying Zheng nodded and then asked.

"After understanding fire, it's natural to stop fire. Stopping flames here does not mean that people are not allowed to use fire, but that people are restricted from using open flames in certain places."

"For example, cotton processing plants, grain silos for storing grain, fireworks and firecracker manufacturing facilities, etc. These areas need to be kept in a dry environment throughout the entire process, and a large number of flammable items are stored, making it extremely easy for fires to occur."

"My father can issue some laws and regulations specifically for this purpose, directly prohibiting the use of open fires in places where fires are more likely to occur. Anyone who violates these laws and regulations, whether they are officials or civilians, must be severely punished according to the severity of the case.

"

"In addition, the sale and use of flammable and explosive items such as fireworks must be strictly controlled."

"For example, the manufacture of flammable and explosive products can be carried out through public-private cooperation. That is to say, the public can manufacture and sell fireworks, etc., but they must report to the government, inform the government of the daily production volume, and have government personnel to monitor

The quantity of goods purchased and shipped must be strictly monitored to prevent anyone from hoarding large amounts of fireworks and firecrackers privately, which may lead to fire safety hazards.”

"At the same time, a reporting mechanism has been established. Anyone who sees someone violating Du Huo regulations can report it to superior officials. If the evidence is true after verification, the whistleblower can receive a national reward and record it as a personal achievement."

"I believe that under such strict regulations, no one will dare to act recklessly, and the frequency of fires will naturally be much smaller."

Ying Yu said with a smile.

If we only impose heavy penalties on those who violate the regulations, then the loopholes that exist will be too great.

Because things like using open flames in violation of regulations or selling fireworks and firecrackers privately are destined to be discovered and reported by others.

But if there wasn't any grudge between them, who would take the risk of offending others and do something that has no benefit to themselves?

Even if someone uses an open flame in violation of this regulation and is seen by others, there is a high probability that he will pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that he did not see it. Otherwise, those who are on good terms may just say hello to each other and pass by, and no one will take it seriously.

Take this rule seriously, it is human nature. Junqu Pavilion

This is obviously not conducive to the implementation of this fire suppression law.

But after setting up this reporting mechanism, the situation will become completely different.

Because all things, as long as there is interest involved, then there will definitely be a change from no one paying attention to competing for the first place.

Some people may not care about the financial reward for successful reporting, but if it is calculated as personal merit, it is different. You must know that if you want to be promoted in Daqin, most of them will be based on your performance appraisal. If you have more merit,

, your probability of being promoted or becoming an official in the future will be much higher.

At that time, in order to obtain these benefits, everyone will keep a close eye on each other. In such an atmosphere, the observance of this law will definitely be greatly improved.

"This understands fire. What Prince Du Huo said is very good, and the methods are all feasible. But what about fire prevention and fire fighting?"

Ying Zheng smiled and asked with interest.

"In terms of fire prevention, because most of the old buildings in Daqin are made of wood, once a fire breaks out in a certain room, it is likely to cause the entire surrounding buildings or streets to be affected, causing a huge

A serious fire in an area.”

"Therefore, I think that when building houses, more new materials such as cement concrete bricks and tiles should be used. The houses should be separated from each other by a certain distance, instead of being connected to everything for the sake of beauty. And now I, Daqin, are very interested in new materials.
