Yingtian Mansion.

Royal Palace.

Although the incident in Jiangning County was extremely terrifying, the number of infections officially announced that 90,000 people were killed and 8,000 people died, the fact that Fang Shiyu received was the highest number of patients in Jiangning County, reaching more than 157,000.

It is more than half of the total population of Jiangning County.

The death toll reached more than 17,900.

This matter is indeed not a big deal in the entire empire, but in front of Fang Shiyu, this Jiangning County, which is developing rapidly.

Fang Shiyu even believed that Jiangning County could become a benchmark for the development of the entire empire, lead the counties and counties in the world to develop rapidly.

However, reality slapped him mercilessly.

For this reason, Fang Shiyu has not been able to close his eyes for three days. Every two hours, he has to ask about the situation in Jiangning County. If he says he is doing a show, the people below don’t know.

And what exactly is he thinking?

Fang Shiyu looked at the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Yangxin Palace. A few days ago, the incident of dysentery in Jiangning County naturally spread to Nangong.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Chuanxi to take the portrait back and wrote a sentence behind the portrait.

"People-oriented, can prosper forever, and officials-oriented, and will not guarantee a hundred years of peace!"

Fang Shiyu shook his head and said helplessly: "You said you old guy, if you have anything to say, just come out and tell me about the quilt. What's the point of being able to disobey you?"

At this time, Wei Hongcai, a newly transferred young eunuch who was serving Fang Shiyu, knocked on the door outside the Yangxin Palace: "Your Highness, there is news from Jiangning County!"

"Come in!"

Fang Shiyu's heart moved and he quickly spoke.

Wei Hongcai came to Fang Shiyu, bowed and handed the document up and said, "According to Your Highness's instructions, the document was sent directly to the Palace of Harmony without passing anyone's hands!"

"Well, it's very good! Have you gone to study today?" Fang Shiyu glanced at Wei Hongcai. He planned to let the eunuch go to school well, and what he wanted to teach was not the concept of governing the country and maintaining peace.

For eunuchs, they should write the six words that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics and engrave them in their bones. Fang Shiyu is definitely unwilling to let eunuchs study and participate in politics like Zhu Zhanji.

But the eunuchs had never read books and did not understand what eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics. This incident was vividly expressed in Lin Wang.

To this end, Fang Shiyu had to do it well. After the secretariat's selection and deletion, he developed methods and methods for eunuch education.

Whatever you teach them, what if you don’t teach them, you firmly ban the eunuchs. Some people say that without eunuchs, the emperor would have to fight with the civil servants himself.

Actually, this is not the case.

If it weren't for the tiger operation of the Ming Dynasty's war god Zhu Qizhen, he would have been a bit convinced and believed only Wang Zhen, even if he dared to hand over the army to the veteran Zhang Fu on the battlefield to arrange an offensive route, he did not find the enemy's retreat route.

Instead of changing orders during the march, pretending to love the people as their children and not allowing them to trample on the land of the people, it would not lead to the defeat of Tumu Fort. Whether it was the only remaining fruits of the nobles in Huaixi or the nobles in Jingnan, they were almost completely beaten.

The emperor had no nobles, no one to check and balance the civil servant group, no military power, and lost the ability to overturn the table, so naturally he had only left the eunuchs to fight the arena, and the dog bites the dog.

From beginning to end, it is inseparable from Wang Zhen's matchmaking and the shadow of eunuchs.

From the root cause, the eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs and military affairs. If the emperor is not capable of it, he naturally has to find someone who is capable to lead the army, instead of obeying the eunuchs' words and being defeated and captured.

"I have been here today! Today, the teacher is talking about the disaster of the Ten Eternal Services during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han!"

Wei Hongcai said respectfully.

Fang Shiyu said: "Go back first, reflect on yourself, and go back more often to study what the teacher teaches."

Wei Hongcai knelt on the ground and crawled backwards out of the Hall of Harmony.

Fang Shiyu looked at the words in the document and nodded thoughtfully and said, "The reason is that feces are contaminated, which causes local water pollution, which causes symptoms of dysentery."

After pursing his lips, Fang Shiyu felt more and more serious in his heart, and hesitated: "What should I do?"

"I have it!" Suddenly, Fang Shiyu only felt a flash of inspiration and smiled and said, "Come on!"

"Your Highness." The little eunuch on duty in the Yangxin Hall quickly bowed and responded.

"Go to send me to Xia Yuanji, Minister of Revenue, and Zheng Ci, Minister of Works, to see me in the Yangxin Palace!" Fang Shiyu ordered, and the little eunuch bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Not long after, Xia Yuanji and Zheng Ci appeared in the Yangxin Palace together, staring at Fang Shiyu with big eyes, and good news came out in Jiangning County.

The court breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Jiangning County is really too close to the capital, so it cannot be close.

Fang Shiyu handed a pair of drawings to Zheng Ci and said, "Look, this way, one zhang wide, two zhang long, three zhang high, and two zhang five zhang deep."

"How much does it cost to build a thatched house of this type?" Fang Shiyu asked.

He wants to do something big, a super big thing. It can be said that if he doesn't do this well, no matter how fast or good it develops, he will only be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, which is vulnerable.

The rapid development of Jiangning County sounded the alarm for Fang Shiyu.

He is the emperor. He can use wooden buckets to go to the toilet, wipe his butt with paper, and let people boil water and bathe at any time and anywhere, but the people below cannot.

Of course, wealthy families have their own toilets, but many people do not have one, so they will not solve the problem on the streets.

But the final treatment method and the location of the toilet will pose hidden dangers. As the Ming Dynasty develops faster and faster, after all, external silver flows in, the Ming Dynasty can print treasure money, vigorously support commercial development, and then use treasure money to plunder materials from the world.

These are all planned by Fang Shiyu long ago.

But now, he found that it was difficult for the people of Ming Dynasty to go to the toilet, and the feces directly entering the Yangtze River and the Yellow River would cause pollution to water resources.

Fang Shiyu has been doing his best in Dongsheng Shenzhou and is unwilling to let water resources pollute. Now, the water resources pollution is extremely serious.

This is just a place in Jiangning County, which occupies a close distance from the capital. Whether it is materials, manpower, or information transfer is very fast, and can achieve certain expected results.

What if this dysentery appeared in Shandong, Shanxi, Xi'an, and even Gansu? The imperial court received news that the allocated manpower and materials had not yet been waiting to set off.

Thousands of people died there.

When the imperial court's manpower and supplies are in place, the city is so empty.

Fang Shiyu has not had a particularly good way to solve the transportation problem. After all, he has given direction and money to fully support Wang Changjian's steam power research career.

But Fang Shiyu can't control when the steam engine can be created and the steam engine can replace horses and become a means of transportation. This is not something he can control.

The affairs of the people are not trivial, but everything comes to the same destination, and they belong to the same source. Dayu is worse than to clear away the flood control than to block the flood. For diseases with extremely strong infections of 5.8, it is also like preventing problems before they happen. It can improve the quality of life and quality of life of the people of the Ming Dynasty and make the people love the court more.

Why not do such a good thing?

The toilet revolution is imperative.

"Your Highness, if you repair one, it won't cost much. According to the current market conditions, three craftsmen and four days are enough, and the labor prices are different in different places."

"The more expensive ones, two thousand guan treasure money, and the less expensive ones, one thousand four hundred guan treasure money, more than enough!"

Zheng Ci did not hesitate too much. The court did not need to consider the land use issue. The court would repair whatever it wanted, and no one could care about it.

This cost will naturally be less.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "Xia Yuanji, statistics from the Ministry of Revenue in the 27th year of Hongwu, how many people are there in the country and how many households are there?"

"In the 27th year of Hongwu, the total number of people reported by local governments was more than 79.63 million, and more than 12.3 million households!"

"So, one household has repaired it one by one, and one household has two thousand guan treasure money, one household has one thousand two million households, and two forty-six million treasure money?"

Fang Shiyu's eyes were stunned and looked at Zheng Cidao in a daze.

"If Your Highness wants to repair so much, it may really cost so much." Zheng Ci bowed and said.

Fang Shiyu felt dizzy and sat back on the chair, rubbed her temples: "Two,460,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

This huge empire is really a traumatic mind. Fang Shiyu no longer knows how to tell it. There are tens of millions of people and tens of millions of households in the entire territory.

If the amount of silver is more than two taels of flattened to each household, the court will be hollowed out.

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Highness, repairing toilets is a big project and cannot be achieved overnight. I have a good compromise!"

"What method?" Fang Shiyu asked directly. If the toilet is not solved, development is just empty talk. Severe hygiene pollution. If nothing is said to destroy nature, humans will collapse.

Dysentery is just a small lesson. If you wait until a more terrifying disease breaks out, such as the Black Death in the late Middle Ages.

Isn’t it a disaster for the Ming Dynasty?

If the situation is not good, internal epidemics are rampant, and external weak enemies come to attack, even if the Ming Dynasty has more foundation, it will not be able to withstand consumption.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty in Jiannu? This can definitely be regarded as a fallacy throughout the ages.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng. Didn’t Li Zicheng start an army from Shanxi and attack the capital with unstoppable momentum? The Jurchens, the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, the highest moment, that is, he was shedding horses under the city of Beijing for several days. Is he capable of attacking Beijing?

The Eight Banners of Manchu and Eight Banners of Mongolia were dispatched to enter the Ming Dynasty from Mongolia and surrounded Beijing, but he did not dare to attack.

Although it is indeed embarrassing to let others shed horses in the imperial capital for several days, the reason is that the Jurchens defeated the grassland and unified many tribes on the grassland, so he was still unable to attack the Central Plains.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng, and the success of the Qing Dynasty was also inseparable from Wu Sangui's contribution.

The Ming Dynasty's decades of raising him eventually became the butcher knife for Jiannu to massacre the people of the Central Plains, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry also had a trick.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was actually a plague that was rampant around the world and chaos inside and outside.

"In fact, the method is very simple. I think the court can do it. Let the people from all over the country build toilets and build toilets according to the court's standards."

"The court provides tax reduction subsidies, and the most common people in the world are farmers. As long as they all repair toilets, this matter will be easy. Moreover, the court does not have to spend so much money to help the people build toilets in one breath!"

Xia Yuanji really was in his position and planned his politics.

After the people repair it themselves, as long as they meet the standards of the court, they can obtain certain tax cuts. Although this will reduce the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, the court is not short of food or money, but it is just a lack of time and transportation constraints for adjusting animal resources.
