After Yuan Shuzhi was admitted to the environmental sanitation management position, after a period of training, he joined the Municipal Comprehensive Management Bureau.
This Municipal Comprehensive Management Bureau is roughly a collection of many aspects such as sanitation, greening, municipal administration, transportation, etc. in the old time and space. In the Republic of China, it was mostly called the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. In this time and space, the Guangzhou Municipal Government is in order to avoid conflict with the "Ministry of Industry" of the Ming Dynasty.
"I was confused before I came up with such a name.
The immediate boss of the Municipal Comprehensive Management Bureau is Lin Baiguang. Yuan Shuzhi worked as an intern at the Comprehensive Management Bureau for three months and performed well, so Lin Baiguang gave him the first task.
Yuan Shuzhi's first task was the renovation of urban public toilets.
This project was designated by Liu Xiang and Liu Dafu as the No. 1 livelihood project in the new year. In medieval cities in the 17th century, public toilets either did not exist or existed in extremely crude forms. In Guangzhou, the facilities that can be called public toilets include
There are two types, one is a urine bucket set up on the street for men to relieve themselves; the other is a little more sophisticated, with a semi-buried cesspit in the alley behind the street, with a footboard on the tank, which can be used for urinating.
People understand.
This kind of simple "public toilet" is not covered. Generally speaking, the urine bucket is covered with a bamboo hat and the cesspool is covered with a reed mat. The purpose is not to provide privacy, but mainly to prevent rainwater from flowing in and affecting the quality of farmyard fertilizer.
Damage the interests of the owner of the dung section.
It is conceivable that only men can use such crude facilities. Liu Dafu believes that in order for women to work, it is essential to provide necessary public toilets separated by men and women.
Of course, from a health perspective, adequate public toilets are also crucial, because there are not many even such simple toilets. Therefore, as long as you go to remote places, you can see traces of defecation everywhere, especially in remote back streets.
There was even more feces and urine all over the floor.
Not only was it dirty, but it also polluted water sources and became the source of various infectious diseases. So after Liu Xiang completed the two major municipal projects of demolishing illegal buildings and dredging the Liumai Canal, he began to build "public toilets" throughout the city.
In addition to hygienic considerations, the construction of public toilets is also a way to eradicate evil forces in the city. In the past, Guangzhou's Dung Section was divided like a feudal town. Not only were they intertwined, but each section had clear barriers and each had its own deed. The owner of the Dung Section
In order to compete for the right to collect excrement in the dung section, there were often various overt and covert fights. Among them, the people of Guandi Temple were involved, which often led to bloody incidents.
It was originally free for the owners of the dung section to clean up the excrement, because the income from the sale of the excrement was their profit. However, over time, they used the excrement removal to blackmail the residents. The bishop of the dung section instigated the workers to clean up the excrement for free, because the money from the excrement sales was money for washing.
, forcibly demanding cleaning fees, and if they refused to pay, they threatened to stop cleaning up the feces. The residents had to endure their exploitation. There was a lot of resentment among the people.
Therefore, although building public toilets is expensive and cumbersome, it is of great benefit to urban governance. Therefore, it has become an important part of Liu Xiang's "New Life Movement".
Although Guangzhou City has an underground drainage system called Liumai Canal, for reasons of sanitation and fertilizers, it is obviously not appropriate to discharge the excrement from public toilets directly into Liumai Canal. Therefore, the construction company designed a septic tank model.
The public toilet is a large toilet for men and women. It is equipped with a "dung dumping station", which is flushed and cleaned by sanitation workers on a daily basis. The flushed feces flow into the septic tank. After sedimentation and fermentation in the three-stage septic tank, the upper clear water is discharged into the sewer.
After the manure has accumulated to a certain extent in the channels, the manure is manually dug out and loaded into trucks, and then transported to several "fertilizer stations" in the surrounding suburbs. The city's manure and domestic waste will be sold here to farmers in the suburbs.
The construction standards of this type of toilet are roughly the same as those of public toilets before the 1980s. Overall, they are very simple and the sanitary conditions are unsatisfactory. However, it is an extremely advanced concept in this time and space. The only thing that impressed the designers of Lingao Construction Company
It is a pity that because Guangzhou does not yet have a tap water system, there is a huge shortage in providing flushing water. Sanitation workers have to drag water trucks to flush toilets.
Even so, these public toilets built in the streets and alleys according to population density have also greatly played a role in improving the urban sanitary environment.
Yuan Shu was responsible for the construction of three public toilets.
Yuan Shuzhi has completed the first one and is now on the second one. He is now leading people to find out where the toilets in the neighborhood are more suitable. He used the location knowledge he learned when taking the civil service exam and several
The newly admitted young people discussed: "Everyone, what do you think of these points? This toilet cannot be built at the wind outlet, otherwise the fragrance will spread thousands of miles away, but it cannot be too far away from the common people, otherwise the common people will not like to use it. Some people think this
A few spots are acceptable, they are close to residential areas, but they won’t affect people’s lives.”
"Lao Yuan, what you said is probably not very good. Judging from the location, this point is the best at the moment." A young man who had just graduated from Lingao Fangcaodi and was assigned through administrative training said. Yuan Shu gave him a knowing look.
, I thought to myself: This doll is just a doll after all. Although he is an Australian student, he is a fool. He doesn’t care how close this spot is to Liu Dafu’s official residence. Isn’t building here a suicide plan?
Yuan Shuzhi said: "You are still too young. I am a few years older than you. I have to say to you: This, don't keep silent. Look at the location of this point and the wind direction of Guangzhou all year round. You don't
Do you have eyes but not a nose? There are many elders living around here. Do the elders need a large toilet?! Building toilets must be based on the needs of the people."
The young man immediately lost his voice, but still felt unwilling.
Yuan Shuzhi had no choice but to say: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to do a good job, but there is also a mistake in just doing the work. It depends on whether you understand it or not?!"
Tea patrons in the tea house across the street watched their exploration, and one guest laughed and said:
"I said that the Australians are in charge of heaven and earth, and they also control people's shit and farts. Their control is too broad. What a big deal. It turns out that Wang Shitou's time was much better than it is now. Why do you treat people so well?
Wang Shitou was arrested and returned to Kacha, saying he was some kind of evil force. Now the excrement in the house has to accumulate for several days before anyone comes to collect it."
"I said Lao Wang, sooner or later you will die because of your mouth. Who doesn't know that this Wang Shitou is your distant nephew, and he pays you a few filial piety every year. As a person, he is a bad person! This shit has taken him away
He wants us to pay him for the sale! He also asks for rewards during the holidays. Last time, my brother-in-law’s family was a little neglectful of his people, so they didn’t collect excrement for his family for a month!”
But someone here is worried about the boss: "Boss, your teahouse is in danger! Once the big toilet is built, the fragrance of your place will spread thousands of miles away."
The owner of the teahouse was turning blue at this moment. No matter how "clean and hygienic" the Australians claim that the big flush toilet is, no one likes to drink tea opposite the toilet. Once it is built, his teahouse will have to close down! He is thinking
How to save it.
…
Yuan Shuzhi was exploring the site, but the city government suddenly sent a traffic officer to deliver an urgent notice. He opened it and saw that he was asked to report to a certain room in the big world tomorrow to report to an elder Zheng. He would be temporarily seconded to work for her.
Although Yuan Shuzhi didn't know why he was suddenly seconded, he thought it was because the Senate wanted to reuse him, and he was happy.
When he returned to the bureau, he handed over the urban area at hand to others and reported to the Big World early the next morning.
This was the first time Zheng Mingjiang saw Yuan Shuzhi, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: not only was this man very old and old-fashioned, he also had a sour smell all over his body.
How come we have such a number of people in our civil service?
She was used to seeing young naturalized cadres who came from school. Although they looked handsome and ugly, most of them had a clean appearance and spoke sharply. In comparison, Yuan Shuzhi really couldn't tell how "competent" he was.
However, the appraisal materials in his file are excellent. He ranked first in the civil service examination for the sanitation position. He also ranked among the best in all the entrance training examinations, especially hygiene and epidemic prevention. Zheng Mingjiang knew that,
How valuable this is for a man who is over fifty years old and comes from an old literati background.
Zheng Mingjiang looked at him carefully and felt that as long as he put on a wig and a long gown, he would look like a "remnant of the Ming Dynasty". He didn't have any Australian flavor at all, so it was most appropriate to conduct a secret visit to find out the information.
She briefly chatted with him for a few words, and felt that this man was sophisticated and well-organized, so he should be qualified for investigation work.
She immediately explained to him the content and key points of her work, and said: "This matter is currently highly confidential. No matter before or after, it cannot be leaked - can you do it?"
"The chief has an order, but I dare not obey it." Yuan Shuzhi said with emotion.
"You are responsible for undercover investigation, and you may also deal with criminals. There will be certain risks. Think about it, do you think you can bear it?"
"Before the chiefs came to the city, a person was alive, but he was no different from the dead. He just breathed more. Only when he was admitted to the civil service was he reincarnated. His new life was given by the chief. If the chief
Yes, it definitely doesn’t contain a lake!”
Yuan Shuzhi's confession made Zheng Mingjiang a little embarrassed. She smiled and said: "You don't have to be so nervous! Huizhou is our world, and I will send people to protect you secretly. I will not ask you to do dangerous things. You
All you have to do is secretly inquire about the information. In this case, you can go back and pack up, and set off with the investigation team tomorrow..."
Yuan Shuzhi had been thinking about it for a few minutes, and he said, "I think it's better for me to go alone."
"Oh why."
"Since the chief wants someone to conduct a secret investigation, how can he go with the investigation team?" He believed that if he went to Huizhou with the investigation team, he might be seen by others on the way. Once someone found out, his "secret investigation" task would be completed.
