Chapter 1003 Infrastructure

No one could finish the meal, so they simply put down their chopsticks and started talking.

Even Mrs. Zhang, who has always been rather slovenly, can't stand the piles of daddies she sees in the city from time to time.

Gu Shouxin waited for everyone to finish speaking before he said: "I have been sorting out some systems recently. One of them is that everyone in the city is not allowed to urinate anywhere. Every day, there will be yamen patrolling the four areas. If they are caught, they will be fined money and no money will be given. The city will be swept as a penalty. If you build latrines in the city, the punishment for being caught will be to clean the public latrines in the city."

Gu Xin thought for a while and asked: "Father, mother, if everyone in the city goes to the latrine built by the Yamen to relieve themselves, then the area around the latrine will still stink! If there is a latrine, we have to build a cesspit. It doesn’t feel good to have a cesspool in the city!”

Gu Nian snapped his fingers: "That doesn't matter. We can build the latrine not far from the city wall, build a drainage channel, and then dig a latrine outside the city. It just so happens that the latrine is built on top of the latrine outside the city. My Isn’t the cement ready to be finished? When the craftsmen come, they will add a convenient toilet."

Cai Xiaolian answered: "Chunlan, go to the study and get the bag of documents from the second floor of the bookshelf."

Only Cai Xiaolian and Gu Ren could understand it.

Cai Xiaolian had originally thought about doing something big. She had already brought Gu Nian, Gu Ren, and Peng Yizhu together to discuss the issue of urban sewage discharge. It had not yet taken shape, but today Gu Xin raised it, and she could tell everyone about it.

After a while, the maid Chunlan came over with a file bag. Inside was a drawing drawn by Cai Xiaolian. She originally wanted to design a toilet for her home.

After everyone saw it, they were amazed that it could still be like this.

When Gu Shouxin saw it, he immediately asked his servant to go to his office to get the drawings of Kun City. The family did not eat, gathered around another round table and began to discuss where the public latrines in the city were located.

Kuncheng is not very square, but the north and south areas are divided by the avenue between the east and west gates, and there is a street across the middle of the avenue, which divides the east and west areas.

There are now four areas in Kuncheng, namely Northwest District, Northeast District, Southwest District, and Southeast District.

In the northwest district, there are Peng Mansion and restaurants, and other places are empty. Because it is close to the West City Gate, there are relatively few people living there, just the Peng family. The southwest district is the trading area and the Western Camp of the Peng Family Army, and there are no People live there.

In the southeastern district, there is a brothel and Jieyou Pavilion next to the Kun River, followed by some common people's residences, a few grocery stores and markets. The northeastern district is home to the county government, family members of the army, and some wealthy Zhou Dynasty businessmen involved in transactions.

Overall, there are more people in the southeast and northeast districts, where everyone conducts daily activities. In addition to the Peng family, the people in the southwest and northwest are Peng Jiajun, restaurants, and businessmen from several countries in the trading area.

Finally, after unanimous discussion, the Gu family decided to build four public huts in Kuncheng, one for men and women, one in each district.

There are twelve holes for men and women in a hut, and pits still have to be dug under each hut, deeper, and then piped out halfway, and there are large cesspits outside the city.

It was Uncle Gu who chose the location outside the city. He knew best which location was most convenient for the land he had reclaimed.

Gu Nian was filled with fighting spirit in an instant. This was to build infrastructure in ancient times!
