North and South groceries

In this era without electricity, human beings are basically helpless against the hot weather and can only endure it.

Rich and noble families may also build a gazebo or something like that, divert water to pour on the roof, and take the air from the water to cool down the heat.It's just that there are still a small number of people who can do this, and staying in such an environment for a long time can easily get moisture into the body, which is not good for the body.

There are also some people who put ice cubes in their houses. The price of ice cubes in Chang'an City has dropped a lot in recent years. If ordinary small rich families can't stand the heat in summer, they can buy some to keep at home.

As far as the living environment is concerned, Wannian County to the east of Chang'an City is relatively better. After all, the terrain is high and the air circulation is relatively good.

At this time, the Chang'an people's first requirement for the living environment is to be "cool". One of the important reasons for this is that the summer in Chang'an City is really too hot.

The boundary of Chang'an County under Gui Luoyong's jurisdiction, that is, the west side of Chang'an City, is low-lying and has no air circulation. Some domestic sewage from Wannian County in the east will flow to the west side of the city along the ditches.

Luo Yong heard people say that in the past few years in Chang'an City, the summer is not only hot, but also has a lot of mosquitoes.

Since Luo Yong took office, many people in Chang'an have also looked forward to the early use of biogas lamps for a few cents a month in Chang'an County.

There are many benefits of this biogas lamp, not only is it cheap, but it can also ferment and process various wastes to reduce environmental pollution.

Luo Yong also hopes to promote biogas digesters in Chang'an City as soon as possible. These few days, the engineering school has started to teach. side.

During an early morning meeting in mid-March, Luo Yong submitted a plan written by himself, expressing that he wanted to promote biogas digester technology in Chang'an City. How to implement it and how much money it would cost were clearly listed. , obviously also made a lot of effort.

The emperor also said that this plan is very good, but those people in the household department just refuse to take out the money. The reason is that the war in Liaodong cost a lot earlier, and the families of the soldiers who died in the battle need pensions. How can they get it now? Give so much money to Luo.

In the past two years, many families in Bianliang have also been making noise, demanding to build a railway track from Luoyang to their side.

They are discussing at the moment, after all, the imperial court also wants to repair the railway track, and the south of the Yangtze River is very rich, once this railway track is built, it will be very convenient for many products to be transported to Chang'an City.But the imperial court didn't want them to pay all the money, and wanted the major families in the south of the Yangtze River to also bear some, so people on both sides began to bargain.

If there are no accidents, the construction of this railway track will start in the second half of this year, and it is not known how much money will be burned by then.

If the money is given to Luo to repair the biogas pool right now, then the matter of this railway track may be delayed. How can it work? Many officials from the Jiangnan gentry jumped out to object at this time.

To say that this officialdom is so realistic, because of the emergence of the theory of heat energy earlier, it was also above this court, many people wished to worship Luo Yong as a god.

At this time, when they asked for money, the faces of all of them were not to mention how ugly they were.

The imperial court's money was not blown by strong winds. Luo Yong understood this point, after all, he himself had managed local finances.

"If not... I'll figure it out myself?" County Magistrate Luo said after receiving a wave of strong opposition.

Everyone in the court naturally knew that Luo Yong was famous for making money. In a borderland like Changle County, he could save money for a Xueling Canal in a few years. Can think of some way to get money.

The old emperor said that if he encounters any difficulties, he still has to report to the court, and then everyone will work together to find a solution, the so-called collective wisdom and efforts.

Luo Yong also promised well.

Within two days, a notice was posted in Chang'an County, saying that the county magistrate wanted to promote biogas digesters in the county, but he had no money, and knew that not every household in Chang'an could afford the money, so the county magistrate decided to let everyone be free. For donations, whichever workshop donates the most money, they will build a biogas digester for that workshop first.

As soon as this notice was posted, the gentlemen of Chang'an City were shocked!

Nima!This is too silly!

How much people in this era want to save face, especially in places like Chang'an City, especially among officials!

This is an era when sitting on horseback and eating a piece of cake can be demoted. As the magistrate of Chang'an County, Naluo Coffin Baner even opened his mouth to ask others for money, and even posted a notice!

A few days later, in the court, the officials who impeached Luo Yong came and went in an endless stream.

Don't talk about heat or heat!Such a shameful behavior, as a Datang official, they absolutely cannot tolerate it!It is a shame in their lives to be an official with such a person!

All these officials spoke impassionedly, filled with righteous indignation, and some were really annoyed, so angry that they almost hit the pillar on the spot.

The emperor was unmoved, and there were quite a few officials who were also unmoved.

It is indeed wrong for Luo to use this action, but the notice has been posted, what else can I do now, take it back?

Besides, if Luo Yong were to be demoted back to his hometown in Hedong according to what these officials said, would they still be promoting biogas digesters in Chang'an City? Who would they ask to promote them?Just look for the few who jump the highest?Are they okay?

In this way, although there was a lot of noise about this incident, it was still nothing in the end.

Afterwards, someone asked Luo Yong why he acted like this. He didn't do this when he was in Changle County earlier.

"Changle is poor, how much money can you donate?" Luo Yong replied.

The implication is not that he doesn't want to do this, but that Changle County is really too poor. Isn't Chang'an City rich? Is it necessary for him, a county magistrate, to open a workshop to earn money?

The common people don't have any objection to donating money. Regardless of donating money or not, the biogas digester will be built sooner or later. It's just that some places are built early and some places are built late.

Many businesses in Chang'an City wanted to make friends with the Luo family, so this time they were naturally very active. The Chang'an County Government House was full of people every day, just like a festival.

Within a few days, the first few workshops to build biogas pits were finalized.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court also expressed that it was for the matter of the biogas tank that the people of Chang'an rushed to donate money first, which not only showed Chang'an's wealth, but also demonstrated its selfless character, and so on.

In addition to donations, the Ministry of Households allocated money to make up for the remaining shortfall, so that the people of Chang'an must be able to light biogas lamps as soon as possible.

This document was in the hands of Du Gou, who arrived first. Du Gou laughed when he read the contents of the document.

There have not been many wars in the past two years. Since Tubo married Princess Wencheng, it has calmed down. Tuyuhun has also been annexed by Tubo. They were engaged in internal fighting, and the fighting was messy. How could it be possible that the treasury would be empty in that Liaodong war.

Du Gou decided early on that there must be money in the national treasury, but those people from the household department are used to being stingy. Every time they transfer money, they have to be begged and begged. It's on the board.

Chang'an County wants to promote biogas digesters. You say that the national treasury has no money, so let the common people raise the money themselves. Is that justified?Anyway, it is also the capital of the country at the foot of the emperor.

Luo Yong could afford to lose this man, but those officials in the court obviously couldn't afford to lose him.

In any case, the promotion of this biogas digester has finally been successfully put on the agenda.

Chang'an City is very large, and the houses of the common people in the city are also very large, often covering several acres of land, and large families with tens of acres of land are also very common.

Under such circumstances, it would be unworkable to act in the same way as Changle County. Du Gou's plan is to build a biogas digester for every household, and then do some safety popularization and teach the principles of biogas digesters. Use technology.

The first place to build a biogas digester is the Guangde Square where the old sister's restaurant is located.

Guangdefang is next to the West Market, and it was already quite lively. After years of development, it is now full of shops and very prosperous.

It is now spring and the climate is warm. The biogas pools are built and will be put into use soon. After filling, it will not take long to produce biogas.

When the biogas lamp in Guangde Square was lit, many people came to see what happened.

Gentlemen, you can send your family to Guangdefang early to book a guest house, drive there before sunset, stay there for one night, and watch as long as you like.

Not to mention, as far as the money and silk donated by Guangdefang, don't mention it, those who open guest houses will probably be able to get back their money in the end.

There are also some people who have no place to live in Guangdefang, and are not willing to spend money to live in such expensive guest houses, so they climb over the wall of the square at night to look at the biogas lamps.

For this matter, Luo Yong also suffered a lot of impeachments. It is said that he has only been in office for a few months, but the number of times he has been impeached is so great that even he himself cannot count.

Furthermore, the gentry lords in Chang'an city used to call Luo county magistrate and Luo Sanlang earlier, but after March, they changed back to Luo coffin board.
