The Knight's Journey to the Empire

September 4877, 3 in the Knight Continent calendar.

For White Bear Leader, today is also a very important day.

Because from today on, the White Bear Territory Government Office officially promulgated and implemented the first lord ban: it is strictly forbidden to urinate or defecate anywhere in the territory’s residential area or within a hundred meters around it, or to dump feces and urine.

After the second internal discussion meeting, Adam recruited thirty or forty craftsmen or carpenters, and formed three construction teams to work overtime to build public toilets in Flanders Town.

So to this day, there are as many as sixteen public toilets built in the town of Flanders.

Of course, there will be more in the future!

Adam also did not let go of the rural areas under the jurisdiction of Flanders Town, and also built a certain number of public toilets depending on the situation.

The design of this public toilet is mainly based on a wooden frame, and the main body is divided into two layers: the upper layer has ten pits, which are used for going to the toilet; the lower layer is the storage bucket corresponding to the pits, which is a tool for storing dirty relics.

Moreover, every day, special hard laborers would use carts to transfer the stored filthy relics to the manure pit built outside the town for natural fermentation and waiting for reuse.

Also from today, patrols composed of members of the territory guard began to be carried out in Flanders town, alternating day and night patrols.

Their mission is not only to maintain order and public security.

This is actually also a deterrent, to see if there is any blind person who dares to violate the lord's ban.

After all, this is the first ban issued by the Baron, and this task is the first task assigned by the Baron to the Government Affairs Office!

Therefore, Adam and Gubellini had no choice but to take it seriously! Even if they had to put aside other things at hand, they had to finish this matter first!

Fortunately, it may be that the government office’s publicity was very effective, or there may be other reasons!

Anyway, over the past ten days, the patrol team has not caught any citizen who dared to urinate or defecate in public.

On the contrary, there were a few residents who got up early in the morning and, hoping to get away with it, dumped the contents of their chamber pots randomly, and were reported by their neighbors for being "righteous and unkind".

But for these people, a fine of a few copper coins and a lecture will basically prevent them from committing the same crime again!

The density of toilets in Flanders town is not very small now, and you can just walk a few more steps to get one, so it is not worth getting caught a few more times and being sent to do free hard labor for this.

You know, now just with the "Barrett Avenue to Wealth" construction project, there are many jobs that allow them to earn money to support their families and improve their lives.

Losing the big for the small, perhaps these peasant leaders do not understand the meaning of this idiom, but in their hearts, they also have their own little tricks and can distinguish the priorities.

All in all, the implementation of this lord's ban went very smoothly and there were basically no obstacles!

The living habits and hygiene habits of all the people in the territory, as well as the living environment and sanitary environment of the entire territory, have changed and improved as a result.

The people in the community are in the midst of this change and progress, witnessing their daily lives changing bit by bit for the better, and their lives have a brighter future!

Therefore, everyone gradually felt the benefits of this lord's ban!

Therefore, their original resistance to the lord's ban gradually turned into conscious support and independent implementation.

Similarly, their support for the lord who made this wise decision increased even more.

..............................

In the White Bear Territory, on the main road of this territory, which was designated by Baron Soran as "Barrett's Road to Wealth", the road construction work going on in the past few days has been in full swing and very lively.

An entire main road, more than ten kilometers long, has turned into a bustling construction site with people coming and going in an endless stream.

Sauron's White Bear Territory has a population of nearly a thousand people. Except for the members of the territory guard and some elderly, weak, women, children, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women, everyone else came.

A huge group of more than 800 people were divided into eight teams by officials from the Government Affairs Office. Then, under the leadership of relevant staff, they carried out the initial filling, development and repair work of the road in eight sections over a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and worked very hard, and the efficiency of road construction was greatly improved.

The reason why the subjects did this was not only because the lord was kind, but also because he provided them with food and money.

It was more because the benevolent policy promulgated by the lord this time really provided them with timely help at the critical moment.

At the end of last year, Sir Jacques and Mayor Corbett jointly levied taxes repeatedly, making life even more difficult for the already low-income residents.

Now that winter is almost over, the people's stored food has been almost used up.

If the Baron had not suddenly issued this merciful policy, perhaps in a few days, people would really starve to death in White Bear Territory.

Therefore, this lord is equivalent to the savior of most of them.

Ordinary citizens are relatively simple and honest. Now they are working for their saviors. Do you think they would not work hard?

And this isn't like you're working for free!

This is infinitely better than the previous conscription where soldiers had to obey for free but still bring their own food!

This would have been unimaginable in the past!

Of course, Lord Baron Soran did not disappoint his subjects' expectations of him.

First of all, it’s about food. He only provides breakfast. He doesn’t say whether it’s good to eat or drink, but the portions are large and you’ll be full. However, you can’t take it away.

The next thing is wages, which must be paid on time every ten days, neatly and without delay.

Finally, there are some small benefits: the full attendance allowance for those who work all ten days will be paid when it is due, and there will be no delay; and for breakfast on the last day of every ten-day work period, every working citizen can get a three-finger piece of fat pork.

[Note: They are usually fed with broth. For example, a chicken needs to be cut into small pieces and boiled with other side dishes into a large pot. When it is time to eat, each person gets a spoonful of broth and sprinkles it on the rice and eats it together! For the meals of more than 800 people, two and a half chickens and three pots of broth are enough! ]

Given the current level of poverty among the people, it is undoubtedly very difficult for them to eat meat or something that tastes like meat.

Because the people of White Bear Territory generally do not raise any poultry or livestock.

The grains and wild vegetables we pick are not enough for ourselves to eat, so how can we have any extra to feed them?

Therefore, this "working lunch" can be said to be the most sumptuous meal that the leaders have had this year!

[Well, the way the chicken is cooked is actually how the author cooked it at the canteen snack counter when she was in junior high school. A chicken is paired with onions, etc., and a big pot is cooked, and then sold to students for 50 cents a spoonful. It is really more watery than my novel! So I can't help but want to complain about it! ]

[Also, thank you for your reminders. I know I am playing dumb. I will try my best to correct it! Thank you again for your reminders and support! I am saving my life!]
