Chapter 61 [All Ready, only Waiting for the Right Time]
After completing the interior decoration of the castle, Belsinger focused all his attention on rectifying the sanitation issues in the village of Lagar. The biogas digester has been built, the dry toilets with 20 toilet seats have been completed, and they have been luxuriously paved with asbestos tiles, and the garbage disposal tank has also been completed accordingly.
At this time, Belsinger was like a bully who bullied men and women. He led a dozen losers to the center of Lagar Village. All the villagers, both adults and children, gathered in the center of the village. Then they sat on chairs and enjoyed black tea while looking at the uneasy villagers and saying with a smile.
"Everyone also participated in the construction of biogas digesters and toilets. I believe everyone knows what these two living facilities are for. Yes, they are living facilities built to change the sanitary conditions in the village."
After seeing that many villagers almost understood what he said, Belsinger stood up from his chair with a straight face, walked to the front of the crowd, walked back and forth and spoke word by word. "Perhaps everyone has got the news and knows that Mrs. Lina has gone back to collect her dowry. She will come back to marry me in a few days, and there will be a baby soon. I don't want my child to live in Qingshan after he is born. Don’t you think it’s ironic that the green water of Lagar Village still suffers from stinking environmental pollution? For the health of my future children.”
“So I am now announcing to all Lagar villagers, whether you are a centenarian with paralysis or a walking baby, you must go to the toilet for defecation and defecation, and all domestic waste that cannot be biodegraded will be burned. All that can be degraded is discarded in the garbage treatment tank, and then flows into the biogas tank for further processing.”
"I know that you have been accustomed to solving your hygiene problems in the open air since ancient times. It is not easy for you to change the habits you have formed since childhood. But whether you change or not, you have to follow me. changed according to the order.”
"Anyone found by the inspection team I set up who dares to defecate in the open, whether in the forest or in a riverside village, will be punished by me."
"The standard of punishment is easy to understand. Anyone who catches adults or children defecating in the open will be driven out of Lagar Village. Since then, they have lost the opportunity to work in the two factories of Singer Industrial Company, and they have also lost their jobs in Lagar Village. land."
"What will you be like by then? You must know better than me, so take care of your children. Put away the livestock raised by your family, whether it is chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cows, horses, pigs and sheep, and dump all the feces Enter the biogas tank for natural degradation. Do you understand what I said? If you don’t understand, you can raise your hands and I will answer your questions on the spot.”
Don't tell me. Although this news is difficult for these villagers to accept, the entire Lagar village is the private property of Mr. Belsinger. The villagers like myself are also slaves of the Singer family, and this relationship has been formed hundreds of years ago. These villagers have no way to refute any of Mr. Singh's decisions. They, these people, can only abide by it, but cannot refute it.
Just two days ago, everyone knew that Mrs. Lina had grown up and returned to her natal family to retrieve her dowry. Then they will come to live in the Singh family and have children. This is originally a thing that makes all villagers happy. The small Singh family is about to usher in big changes. At this time, Mr. Singh is rectifying the situation in the village. Hygiene is excusable.
But these villagers are more like what Singer said. They have formed the habit of open defecation for thousands of years and they really can't change it in a while. But Mr. Singh said that if you don't change, the factory will be demolished and you will be driven out of Lagar Village and you will have nothing because of throwing shit away. Who would you say can accept such a result? No one will accept it, and if we don’t make changes, we have to change.
It's because 99% of the people in the village are illiterate and don't understand what the degradable domestic waste that Mr. Singh mentioned is. What is non-biodegradable garbage? Mr. Singh has said that you can ask if you don't understand, and he will answer it for you on the spot. If you make another mistake after the answer is given. That is your own responsibility and you need to accept punishment, but this punishment is too cruel. No one wanted Mr. Basinger to punish him, so everyone enthusiastically raised their hands and asked questions they didn't understand.
An old lady in her 60s was the first to raise her hand and ask Mr. Singh a question. After getting the permission from Mr. Singh, the old lady asked obediently. "Mr. Singh, what is the biodegradable domestic waste you are talking about? What is the non-biodegradable domestic waste? Can you explain clearly so that we know the difference? Otherwise we will make mistakes if we don't know."
Yes, although I was a little timid, the question got to the point. Belsinger finally showed a smile on his face, returned to the chair, sat down and lit a Camel cigarette, and then said. "This is a good question. Maybe no one understands what kind of domestic waste is biodegradable. What kind of domestic waste is not biodegradable, and which kind needs to be thrown into the garbage pool? Which kind of garbage needs to be burned on site."
"Now I will tell you this knowledge, and then I will ask someone to draw a board with graphics and introductions of non-biodegradable garbage. Look at the display on this board, and gather non-degradable plastic waste for incineration."
Then he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before speaking. "Degradable substances are natural substances, such as everything produced by nature. Including human feces, animal fur, dead bodies, or dead grass, fruit peels, and fruit cores. All things that are not artificially made are degradable."
"And those items purchased from outside, food packaging bags, clothes, shoes, and all plastic products are not degradable. They must be burned together. In addition, I can give you three days to try out the new changes. If you make a mistake within three days, I will forgive you."
"But I will also teach you a lesson. After three days, it will be real. If you dare to make a mistake, I will kick him out immediately."
In addition to holding a meeting to notify everyone to abide by the rules, Belsinger also publicly requisitioned two strong villagers in their 40s to serve as maintenance personnel and pickets for the dry toilets. Big and small, they are also considered small leaders, and they have some power in their hands. The two villagers were so happy that they almost danced with joy when they mastered these powers for the first time.
With their heads raised high, a pair of eagle eyes scanned the neighbors on both sides, just to see if they made mistakes. Let these two people experience the taste of power, and they will also receive a salary of 1,000 rupees per month. Of course, the habits formed over the years cannot be changed in a day or two. These villagers have been following their families for several lifetimes.
They were said to be driven out to beg for food, but in fact, Belsinger was reluctant to do so. Those slaves who worked hard and never complained were treated like donkeys and horses. However, in order to correct their hygiene mistakes, they still took a tough approach. They caught one and beat one. The effect was not very good on the first day. They beat 70 or 80 people.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
The effect was obvious on the second day. There were more than 20 people who made mistakes, and most of them were ignorant children. On the third day, most villagers could abide by the regulations. As time changes, the living habits of these people will also change completely. At that time, the green mountains and clear waters of Lagar Village will appear again.
