"I haven't had time to pay attention to what's happening on the street these days, so I don't know much about it. But I do know something about the family of the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Personnel.

I heard that their housekeeper, in collusion with outsiders, took all the family money and ran away, and now the Shangshu Mansion is helping to arrest the housekeeper and his family privately."

Since all the jobs Chen Liang did were related to this family, he was also secretly watched.

"Didn't you report it to the police? Shouldn't this matter be reported to the police?"

“This is also something I don’t understand. Normally, if someone’s home is robbed, wouldn’t you report it to the police and ask them to help find the person?

But they did not report the case to the police, but investigated secretly. Maybe the stolen items could not be shown to others, or there were other evidence or reasons that prevented them from reporting the case to the police in a public manner.

We all thought that if the house could be emptied overnight, maybe the housekeeper had met some powerful thief. No normal person would have the ability to take them away quietly."

"That makes sense. I guess they have some taboos and can't stand the investigation of the government. They are a little afraid to do anything, so they can only do it quietly." Shen Ruyi said with a smile.

"It should be, Young Master. After the incident, there was a quarrel in that family, and it was quite loud. Later, the married woman from Yang Shangshu's house returned to her parents' home twice in tears.

Anyway, I heard from the people watching that the family has been particularly noisy in the past few days, with fights almost every day. "

"I am happy today, so I will give you some more silver. Here, a big piece for you, and a small piece for the man who is watching Yuanwailang's house. I will treat him to tea."

As he spoke, Shen Ruyi threw out two pieces of silver.

She wanted to laugh right now, laugh out loud, and be so happy.

What went wrong in this link? The result is so funny that even a bandit has come out.

At this time, Wen Yuan came in and said, "Boss, there are a few people outside. They said they were introduced by Chen Liang. They are workers. Can you let them in?"

Shen Ruyi said: "Bring him in."

"It should be the people who made the stone trough and the big urn who sent back and forth the message," said Chen Liang.

Three people came in. Two of them were young men who looked older than Chen Liang, and there was also a middle-aged man with a full beard who looked extremely tough and strong.

Shen Ruyi said: "Please take a seat, everyone. Let's sit down and talk."

Wenyuan came in and served everyone some tea.

After they sat down, Chen Liang introduced them: "Young master, this thin guy is Yang Bin, the youngest son of the uncle I mentioned earlier. The stronger one is my other brother Li Wang. Both of them have been helping me run errands recently."

"Hello everyone."

"Hello, sir."

After Shen Ruyi finished speaking, he looked at the uncle, and the uncle replied: "Boss, I'm a stonemason, here to watch the work, my last name is Liu."

"Yeah, okay. Who's going to speak first?"

They looked at each other, and Li Wang replied first: "Let me tell you first, they can make the big jar you want, and they can also make a large one separately, but it's more troublesome, it takes time, and you need to pay extra. They can deliver it in three days at the fastest."

"Okay, sure. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on it later. Once it's done, have it delivered directly to me."

Yang Bin then said: "Boss, Uncle Liu is the most meticulous and down-to-earth stonemason I know. I have known him for many years and his price is fair.

You can rest assured that the work will be arranged with quality and quantity guaranteed. Would you like to tell him your plan in more detail so that he can go and see for himself how to do it best? "

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

Shen Ruyi stood up and led them to the inner courtyard.

When I entered the inner courtyard, I saw Changle wearing a black down jacket, riding his clothes-covered bike in circles in the yard.

When he saw Shen Ruyi, he was about to call her sister, but then he remembered that there were outsiders around and he couldn't call her sister, so he called her "brother."

Shen Ruyi gave the child an admiring look and introduced him to others: "This is my younger brother."

"Hello, young master!" others said to Changle.

After Changle calmed down, he imitated them and said, "Hello."

After saying hello, Shen Ruyi led them to the east wing and said, "Come in and take a look. This room is going to be used as a toilet. The floor needs to be paved with stones or gravel. We have to ensure that the floor is watertight. Can you do it, Uncle Liu?"

"It can be done, Boss."

"I have a big jar made to order, right? I plan to hollow out the bottom of this piece and put the jar underneath.

You can carve a funnel-shaped stone funnel on top, which I will draw for you. Place it on the big urn, so that after using the toilet, you can just flush it down with water. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, that's it. What's behind this wall? What if the urn is full?"

"There is a garden at the back. We should put half of the big urn under the room and the other half in the back garden. The leaves, hay, sawdust and other things in the back garden can all be swept into the big urn when the time comes.

Let them mix and ferment. After fermentation is complete, I have someone leave a hole in the large jar so that it can be opened. When the time comes, the fertilizer that comes out can be used directly and can be used to fertilize flowers, plants and trees."

"Boss, what do you mean by fermentation?"

"That means you pile up all kinds of manure, weeds, leaves, straw, etc., and over time, they become fertilizer that can be used directly. Isn't that how ordinary people make fertilizer?"

Everyone looked confused and replied in unison: "Never heard of it."

"No? No, then, Uncle Liu, I just want to ask if this method is feasible?"

"OK."

"Also, the floor of this room, this stone funnel, must be the lowest, so that any excess water in the room can flow in automatically. Can it be done?"

"OK!"

Shen Ruyi gestured to the washbasin again and asked if it could be done, and got a positive answer.

That's fine. "Can we start construction now? Do you have enough people? Can you take care of the work of digging the pit and installing the big urn?"

"You can start the work. I can find the people myself. I can take care of it."

"Can you calculate how much it will cost in total if we buy it all?"

"Boss, I'll give you the full amount, 3 taels and 2 qian of silver, okay?"

"Okay, this is 5 taels, and the rest of the money is a gift. You can measure the dimensions now. I hope you can start construction as soon as possible so that it can be used as soon as possible." Shen Ruyi said as he handed over 5 taels of silver.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely make it carefully for you." Uncle Liu took the silver with a smile.

"Just measure it first."

Shen Ruyi left the room, and Chen Liang and others followed her out.

Shen Ruyi handed two pieces of silver to the two new acquaintances respectively and said, "This is a gift for you. Please accept it. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's what we deserve." The two of them looked at Chen Liang and said embarrassedly without taking the money.
