822 A toilet

Pu Biancong and Qin Lianying had known each other before. As soon as they left Xu Wen and others, Pu Biancong grabbed Qin Lianying's sleeve and asked, "Why haven't you been sending news to Beijing for so long?"

Qin Lianying pulled his sleeves away from his hand, and said, "I was on vacation. I came here as a private person. Why do I have to send messages to Beijing?"

Pu Biancong glared at his eyes and was about to speak, Qin Lianying smiled again and tried to comfort him first, "Of course, there is a reason why Jingying Mansion allows me to have such a long vacation, and I know it. Don't worry about this."

Then he nodded to Li Hao and said, "Anyway, come here first. You can hear me explain while mulling and washing Fengchen."

Pu Biancong was a little suspicious, but he had just seen someone, so Qin Lianying couldn't escape, so he let go of his hand and followed him to the outside of a bungalow.

This bungalow has green tiles and square bricks without any decoration. Pubiancong frowned at a glance.

But when he walked in, he accidentally turned around: "It's very bright and breathable, what's the place?"

"The bathroom." Qin Lianying said.

Pu Biancong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize what he was talking about. After a while, he asked in surprise: "The toilet?"

"Yes, it can also be used for washing." Qin Lianying pointed to the platform on one side, walked over and twisted it at some point, and then a rumbling water flowed out; he twisted it again, and the water stopped.

It was not until this time that Pubiancong realized something.

Since entering the city, the air he smelled has always been fresh and clean. Unlike many other cities, and even many corners of the capital, there is a smell of shit and urine, which is the smell left by many civilians everywhere.

Since the birth of Pubiancong, I have become accustomed to this taste without realizing it. Sometimes I even feel that this is what the city is like.

It was not until now that he realized that the air could be so clean in places with so many people.

Li Hao didn't think so much, he was more interested in that platform.

He walked over to look curiously, twisted it like Qin Lianying, and sure enough, water flowed out again.

"What is this?" he asked in amazement.

"Master Xu said that this is called tap water. Take the spring water on the mountain, use the pottery pipe to guide it, and use the mechanism to switch it. At present, the pottery pipe is only laid in part, and it can be tried here." Qin Lianying explained.

Pu Biancong was stunned for a moment and reacted: "What does this mean is this pottery pipe to be laid throughout the city?"

"This is indeed the case in the city construction plan. Did Lord Pu not pay attention?" Qin Lianying was a little surprised.

The overall plan of Qianlong Palace and Fengchun New City was submitted to the capital for both the emperor and the Ministry of Works to see it. Pubian Cong should have seen it, so why didn’t you know this?

"I really didn't pay much attention." Pu Biancong cleared his throat and said a little uncomfortable.

This project is very large, and of course the planning is very complicated. Under normal circumstances, it takes a long time to just look at it.

Pubiancong did see it, but his attention was mainly focused on the palace, and he soon realized that this was an amazing project and he had to try to intervene.

After that, he was busy arranging some things and had no time to read the details of the plan.

At this time, Qin Lianying asked, and he was a little timid.

"Well, this is indeed what we planned early in the morning. There are also mountain springs on Tianyun Mountain, and you only need to draw water down the mountain. In this way, every family will get water very convenient. The most important thing is that we have set up many such public toilets in the city, which can be cleaned up regularly. In this way, the city will be less lying and drowning, and it will not be too dirty. It will make it more beautiful when you come to watch outside. And if you are lucky enough to welcome Your Majesty one day, he will walk in the city like being in the forest, and of course he will have a completely different feeling."

Pu Biancong stood next to the faucet, washing slowly while listening to Qin Lianying's words.

Of course, what Qin Lianying said makes sense.

Not to mention anything else, they had already clearly felt the air quality issue outside just now.

It is definitely exaggerating to be in the forest, but the air is much fresher than other places. The sense of smell will greatly affect a person's feelings, so Pubiancong really feels quite comfortable all the way through the way through this place.

"It's really good," he admitted.

When he looked up, he found that the windows on the wall were also cleverly designed. They were brick/colored windows. Through the windows, you could see the swaying trees outside, which just blocked the view outside, and at the same time allowed people to wash and enjoy the scenery outside.

This house is a new place, and the plants outside are also newly planted. They are a little bit deserted and have not grown completely. But the purpose of this is clearly felt by the Pubian Cang.

Qin Lianying told him that there was a toilet inside, so he nodded and went in and tried it.

This is also quite interesting. It can be seen that the design is very well organized. It includes how people come in and walk, how to clean up daily, and how the air is circulated...

He was a Jinshi and was not a special craftsman, but after so many years in the Ministry of Works, he became a minister. He had never eaten pork. He had also seen all kinds of pigs running around and had his own opinions on these things.

This toilet is really thoughtful.

If the entire city is regarded as the back garden of the palace, this public toilet is a facility in the back garden, and it is worthwhile to spend any effort.

But is Xu Wen's only thinking about this?

Did he really build this place as a back garden in the palace?

Pu Biancong walked out thinking deeply, and happened to hear Li Hao laughing and saying to Qin Lianying: "This faucet is really convenient, it would be great if it was available in other places."

"Your Highness has servants when you go in and out, and there is no need to give orders to serve you. There is no need to do this." Qin Lianying said with a smile.

"I don't need it, but my servants can do it." Li Hao sighed deeply as if he was very worried about the country and the people, "It is the important responsibility of the people to live conveniently and comfortably for the king - the son of the king."

Li Hao looked up and Pu Biancong faced his gaze.

He saw in Li Hao's eyes that he was determined to win and his ambition that had been hidden very cleverly.

It was clearly felt that his desire to control this palace and this city became stronger, and he was more eager to hold it in his own hands.

It's a bit ridiculous. He strengthened this idea because of a toilet.

What's even more ridiculous is that because of this toilet, Pubiancong had the same idea as him-

This project must not allow the internal cabinet to dominate, their Ministry of Works must obtain the same control!

"Yes, I've finished it and I want to go to another place to see it. I wonder if your highness is energetic?" Pu Biancong made up his mind and asked Li Hao.

"No problem, I'm very interested, go with you." Li Hao, who was a little tired just now, said excitedly, going to the toilet was like getting chicken blood.

"But, I think Chief Xu is ready." Qin Lianying smiled and nodded, stretching out his hand.

Pu Biancong nodded and walked out, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If Qin Lianying hadn't explained so carefully, it would have been difficult for him to realize that there were so many clever things hidden in such an inconspicuous facility. He would not have realized that there was such a big plan hidden here in the inner court.

Qin Lianying was indeed his own family in the Jingying Mansion. He had misunderstood him before.
