After May, the city of Chang'an will be hot every day.

Luo Yong lived in the county lord's mansion, which was quite good, and the foundation was relatively high. At this time, rich families liked to build houses, and they liked to build a high dirt platform under the house. So even if there was only one floor, they had to walk a few steps when entering the house. Like the main hall in the palace, the foundation was particularly high.

Chang'an is hot in summer, with many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is more advantageous if the foundation is higher. Not only is it cool, but there are not so many insects.

But that is the upper class. Ordinary people can build houses, but how can they afford such a high platform? Besides, it is not in compliance with the rules.

The weather is hotter and the mosquitoes and flies are also hotter and more than one day. As the head of a county, Luo Yong has been quite worried recently. Once there are more mosquitoes and flies, it is easy to infect some diseases, such as malaria.

In fact, when Luo Yong and the others popularized biogas tanks in Chang'an City this time, there was another additional project, which was landfill seepage wells.

The so-called seepage well is that some people dig a dry well in the yard, and then pour some domestic sewage that has nowhere to go into the well to let it penetrate into the ground.

This is the cleanest way in front of you, but the pollution to groundwater is very serious.

The reason why Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to build Daxing City in the early years was that the new Chang'an City where the Tang people lived today was not only because the old city was crowded, but also because the groundwater pollution was too serious, and the well water dug from the well was salty and braised. Can it still be eaten?

When Luo Yong used the biogas tanks to popularize the biogas tanks, he also filled the seepage wells of those families, so that they would stop pouring sewage into the seepage wells and pouring them into the biogas tanks.

As for the sterilization produced in the biogas tank, because of its strong fertility, many people have vegetables in their own yards that can be used to fertilize the land.

As for those who do not grow vegetables at home, or who dislike the smell of it and do not like to use it, they can give the biogas liquid to others.

People in the Central Plains who are good at farming have never been too much. In the past, there were people who specialized in collecting feces and urine in the city. Now, once this biogas pool was built, there were fewer feces and urine. Most of them were put into biogas pools, but there were more biogas liquid biogas slags.

It is easy to get biogas liquid. Each biogas tank is equipped with a hand pressing device, which can be pressed out without much effort. The biogas residue is a little troublesome, so the county government posted a notice early, saying that it was necessary to train and let those who wanted to learn to register early in the morning.

Luo Yong built a biogas pool and filled a seepage well in Chang'an County. Not only did they want to do it themselves, but they also asked Wannian County to do it together.

After all, a Chang'an City is divided into two sides, and the east is Wannian County and the west is Chang'an County. The drainage ditches are connected together. Only Chang'an County is well built, but if Wannian County doesn't work, it will not be of use.

Luo Yong talked about this matter several times in the court, but he never achieved the desired result.

The county magistrate of Wannian County thought he was meddling in other people's business. When he went to court, he would always meet Luo Yong's face, but Luo Yong didn't care. He was devoted to filling the well.

This project is indeed very necessary. Although the current Chang'an New City is not as polluted as the old city in the past, there are traces to follow.

On the one hand, there are more and more mosquitoes and flies every summer. On the other hand, there are several canals in Chang'an City, not the drainage ditches, but the channel for diversion from the outside river.

For example, on the side of Chang'an County, there are Cao Canals, Yong'an Canals, and Qingming Canals. The pollution of the canals has become more serious these days. Not to mention drinking, it is not even suitable to wash rice and vegetables. It is still possible to use it to wash clothes by barely.

Overall, compared with later generations, the pollution level is not very serious, but with the increasing population of Chang'an City and the accumulation of pollutants, the pollution level will inevitably become increasingly worse, so it is still necessary to start the governance from now on.

But if you want to do these things, you will inevitably have to spend money again. The people in the Ministry of Revenue are in charge of the money coming in and out of the entire treasury. They say they want money all day long. They can't give it to them all. If they really want it so loose, the treasury will definitely be empty, so they are very stingy. Generally, they don't give money if they can.

However, last time they said they had no money, but Luo Yong turned his face and did something for them, which made everyone unable to get out of Taiwan. As the saying goes, they learn from one's mistakes. This time they didn't tell Luo Yong that he had no money, and they didn't even say it, and expressed their protest with silence.

Speaking of the last money donation incident, although Luo Yong successfully obtained funds to promote biogas tanks in Chang'an County, it also destroyed his image to a certain extent, making some old antiques in the court very dislike him.

There was a good person who asked Luo Yong again during the banquet and asked him what he thought about this matter.

As a result, Luo Yong said: "People who dislike me because of this little thing are people who are not worth dating, and there is nothing to care about."

As a result, his words were quickly passed on.

"Bah! Who wants to date him?"

"It's really a bit too proud."

"Treat yourself as a treasure!"

"Look, if I give him a good face, I will write my name in reverse!"

“…”

Luo Yong: It seems that he has given me a good face in the past.

In fact, Luo Yong really doesn't care much about the attitude of these people. In addition to caring about the promotion progress of biogas tanks, he is more concerned about the application of steam engines in the textile industry.

Although this matter has not been realized yet, he knows that it will be a matter of time.

Once this happens, it means that the price of fabric will drop a lot. Many families who originally didn't have a few pieces of fabric at home may be able to use a relatively small amount of coins or grain in the future to exchange for fabrics that are enough for the family to use.

In terms of results, this is of course a good thing, but in this process of change, it will inevitably cause harm to some groups, such as some old-fashioned cloth shops, weavers, and many women who have no other skills than spinning and weaving.

What Luo Yong needs to consider now is how to minimize this damage.

In Chang'anfang, south of Chang'an County, there is a family named Ye. The family has a daughter named Ayan. She is in her twenties and has married a man earlier, but she has no choice but to leave. After a divorce, she was divorced by her husband's house and returned to her parents' home.

Their house is quite large in Chang'anfang, but there are many people living there.

In this Chang'an city, it is not like a countryside. After the old man above passed away, the brothers separated their families. If the ready-made houses are not divided enough, they will find another place and build another place again.

Their family's courtyard in Chang'an City was built in the previous dynasty, and the entire old city moved together. A Yan's grandfather's family, as the people of the old Chang'an City, divided a house in the new city.

Later, Ayan's grandfather passed away, and her father and uncles and brothers' families still lived in this yard. Later, the previous generation had already grown up, and there were many more cousins ​​in this family. Later, these cousins ​​had nephews and nieces.

In this way, a family living in the same yard will inevitably cause some quarrels and disputes on weekdays. A Yan, who is retired by her husband's family, is in a particularly difficult situation.

She would also go out to find some work to do by herself. She had been to the north and south groceries and sister food shops, but there were rare places where people were recruiting.

She had been sitting in a food shop earlier, and at least she had to earn some food, but it was not easy. She had a lot of work and had a small salary, which was very dependent on her face.

During these days, she heard that Na Luo Erniang was going to open a facial scarf workshop in the city, so she risked being fired and lied that she was unwell and wanted to go to the clinic. She barely asked the store for a half-day vacation and planned to apply for a job at the facial scarf workshop.

Dunyifang where the scarf workshop is located is very close to Chang'anfang where her family is located. Chang'anfang is close to the city wall to the west, and Dunyifang is a little closer to the middle, and there is only a Tongzhifang between the two.

It was quite hot at this time and the sun was quite sunny. She took her to the scarf workshop and was sweating. However, when she got to the place, she saw that the door was closed and there was no one.

I looked for an elderly woman on the street and asked. The woman was in her forties or fifties, holding her young grandson in her hand, and looked like a resident nearby.

"You think this face towel workshop? This face towel workshop has not started yet. There are no people at the moment. I heard that it is short of some equipment. Then the Luo family brothers have to set up a machine workshop first. Only when all the items are complete can the work start here..." The woman was a enthusiastic person. When she saw Ayan asking, she told her everything she knew.

"When will it take until the business will be opened?" A Yan was worried that she would miss it again.

"I don't know." The woman shook her head and replied.

"..." A Yan was very disappointed. She turned to look at the closed door, and was wandering, unwilling to let go.

The old woman opposite sat on the stone strip in front of her house, coaxing her grandson while turning to see the woman who was asking about it.

He was wearing a thick linen clothes, and his color faded. I don’t know how many years he has been wearing them. He is also extremely thin, his face is sallow, and his hair is also withered and yellow. He looks like a miserable person...

"You heard that their machine shop is located in Chongxianfang, which is the Chongxianfang next to the county government? The machine shop is recruiting people these two days. I heard that both men and women are OK, why don't you go and see it?" After a while, the old woman said to her again.

"Either men and women?" A Yan felt a little strange. The machine shop was the place where equipment was made. There should be more craftsmen and strong labor in that place. What should women do?

"I don't know either, I just heard someone say something, I don't know whether it's true or not."

"Thank you grandma."

"If you want to go, go as soon as possible, don't miss the curfew."

"Why."

A Yan went to Chongxianfang in a daze, not having much thought in her heart, she just said that she would go over and take a look, but it would not work in the end.
