Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong's so-called transformation is to cancel the point system. Before, he didn't have money to use shell coins and was worried that there would be fraud, so he simply used points instead. This is why Xiao Zirong has always been fair, and the girls are grateful For the grace of saving his life, no one doubted whether he would do something wrong.

But Xiao Zirong knew very well that in a short period of time, everyone was grateful to him for loving him, but after a long time, when the days calm down, the previous things may gradually fade away, and doubts may arise.

If these little ladies had completed their literacy, it would be fine for everyone to calculate their own points, and they would be able to figure it out in their hearts, but in the current situation, it is good to be able to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within a hundred.

What's more, even if you are literate, there will always be people who can't learn those things. On the contrary, the most important thing is to have real money in your hands and understand it.

Bai Yan nodded and said, "It's done."

Xiao Zirong said: "Then get ready, go to the treasury to make an inventory first."

In fact, the treasury has always been empty before. Since they settled here until now, the most in the treasury are points. There is no treasury.

Now that the house is being built little by little, although the interior decoration is still on hold, at least everyone has a new house to live in, so there is no need for a collective dormitory, so a collective dormitory is directly vacated.

Xiao Zirong simply requisitioned it to be the treasury. Anyway, the two dormitories were built relatively close to the City Lord's Mansion, which is just right.

He and Bai Yan counted the items and put them in the warehouse. I have to say that A Yin and A Man are careful enough, and when Xiao Zirong taught them to read, they also learned very well. Nothing was missed.

After all the things had been put into storage, and the cattle had been taken to the livestock pen for placement, Xiao Zirong said with a sigh of relief: "Then we'll see what's on Yuanjia's side."

Bai Yan said, "Yuan Jia...has made a lot of promises before, and if he promises, he won't break the contract."

Well, in the past, it's hard to say now, but this is already their best choice.

Xiao Zirong also felt that Yuan Jia was not a bad person, after all, the other party's eyes were clear, and there was no gloomy look between his brows.

Ayin and Aman also breathed a sigh of relief, pestering Xiao Zirong to show his merits, Xiao Zirong was very happy and rewarded each of them with two copper coins, which made Ayin and Aman very happy.

Not only Ah Yin and A Man, but those who followed were rewarded with a copper coin. The money was not much, mainly because the money would still be useful in the future.

On the second day after the item arrived, Xiao Zirong asked Liu Cainiang to post a notice. The notice was written in a straightforward manner. In simple terms, the points and copper coins will be exchanged from today. The exchange ratio is one to one, which means how many points there are. How much money is there, and remind you not to get together to exchange, otherwise it will cause congestion.

And the exchange place is the treasury that used to be the collective dormitory.

The little ladies were very excited when they found out, even though they knew that they probably wouldn't leave the city, so they had no place to spend their money, but having money in their hands was more confident than those illusory points.

In addition to the excitement, everyone is also very measured. They come to exchange in shifts every day. After the exchange is completed, they will continue to work quickly-build the house and move it in quickly. It is serious to store the money.

As for whether the exchange will be lost now, there is no need to worry about it. Now the guards have increased or decreased by [-] people, and there are patrols during the day and night, so they can't hide if they want to steal.

After the money was almost exchanged, Bai Yan came over with the account book and reported, "City Master, the points have been cleared."

Xiao Zirong took it over and looked it over, and then looked at the account book of the treasury, which was similar to what he had calculated before, so he simply said: "Burn all the point books, by the way, where are A Yin and A Man? "

"Here, here!" Before Bai Yan could answer, A Yin and A Man happily ran over: "What is the city lord calling us?"

Xiao Zirong raised his head and looked at them: "How about the matter I asked you to inquire about before?"

A Yin and A Man looked at each other, and A Yin said: "We asked, and they said that the regent will stay in the state capital for a while."

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong frowned and asked, "Stay for a while? It's been a few months. Doesn't he want to go back to Jiankang for the New Year?"

Aman tilted her head and asked curiously: "City Lord, do you know the regent?"

Xiao Zirong subconsciously denied: "No, I don't know him, how could I know him?"

Although he said so, none of the people present believed it-if you don't know him, why would you ask him?

But both Bai Yan and A Yin Aman were very smart and didn't ask much.

Although he didn't know why Xiao Xue was going to stay, Xiao Zirong decided to be more cautious. He called Lu Liu over and said, "You have worked hard these days. When patrolling the mountains, you must pay attention to the whereabouts of outsiders. Report it as soon as possible, and your own traces must be cleaned up, so that no one will find out."

Lu Liu was a little nervous after hearing this. In the past, Xiao Zirong never told them to clean up the traces. At most, he just told them not to be mistaken by wild beasts for intruders.

Now this is obviously not to guard against beasts but to guard against people.

Although she doesn't talk much in daily life, she is not stupid, and asked cautiously: "If you find outsiders, do you need to kill them immediately?"

Xiao Zirong: ...

Are you little ladies all so cruel?

He coughed lightly: "It's not necessary, just try not to let them find out, if they really find out...then...take them back first."

As for what to do after being captured, it is to be determined, anyway, they cannot be allowed to tip off the news.

Lu Liu said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't worry, Mr. Lang, we will definitely not let outsiders find us."

Seeing her sharp eyes, Xiao Zirong remembered that when Yang Wu followed them before, this one moved a stone without saying a word and killed the other party without giving the other party a chance to talk, so he was a little worried about these little ladies The three-view problem.

However, in that kind of place, the three views are easy to be distorted, but it is normal.

Xiao Zirong glanced at the unfinished law book at hand, and felt that it was time to start implementing it. It might not be easy to break their three views, so he could only tell them what they can and cannot do in a simple and rude way, and don't just let it go. If you want to kill the other party, it's human life anyway.

When the law book was first promulgated, there was no response from top to bottom, and Xiao Zirong was not in a hurry. This thing needs to be infiltrated into life little by little. As long as people are sent to preach every day, they can always remember something.

After the law book was settled, he began to inspect the city, mainly to see the drainage facilities, but this is probably the most reassuring for him. The Wen family obviously made great efforts in this area back then, and many pottery pipes are still in good condition now. Yes, he just asked everyone to paint another layer of lime mortar on the outside of the pottery pipes, then expanded the drainage pipes, and made a special set of pipes to drain rainwater. These pipes lead directly to the moat.

Of course, there is no shadow of the moat yet, so these pipes will not be used for the time being. Anyway, winter is coming, and it will not require such a large displacement.

As for domestic sewage, Xiao Zirong originally wanted to divide it. Domestic sewage such as washing clothes and bathing can be discharged into canals or moats. The water bodies in these two places are flowing and have self-cleaning ability.

As for other excrement, including that of animals raised, dig a pit and throw it in for fertilization after self-decomposition.

However, this method is not very easy. When there is no toilet or running water, it needs to rely on manual labor, so we can only leave the pipes, and wait until the ability to do so in the future.

You don’t need to worry about drainage facilities. You don’t need to worry about building a house afterwards, because they are all built in the same bungalow, except that the planting arrangements in the yards of each house are different from those in the houses. The appearance is all black tiles and white walls.

Xiao Zirong glanced at the plan he had written before, and decided to let them build the kang after the house was almost built. Not only that, he also planned to build a heating system for the whole city.

The so-called heating of the whole city is actually not that high-end, at least not as high-level as the later generations. He just checked the average temperature of the southern Yanzhou side in the data, and after doing the math, he found that if a single household is heated, it may cost more than the entire city. The urban function and warmth are even higher.

Although their side is in the south of the Yangtze River, it was not in the heating range in later generations, but to be honest, it is still quite cold here, and it will snow in winter. The reason for not heating here in later generations is that it is not cost-effective, and the coldness in the south is not so cold. It doesn't last long to freeze to death.

Xiao Zirong also knew this situation, but they should be colder in the mountains than outside. Anyway, when his own house was originally designed, there were earth dragons. Although those little ladies didn't understand, they gave them what he wanted. It's done, and the plumbing is done.

He calculated the temperature here, and felt that even if collective heating is used, the hot water will not consume too much heat during the journey, even if it is consumed because the whole journey is not so long, it will not consume much.

The biggest problem is how to circulate the hot water. As for the earth dragon, it will be added when the house is built later. It is not a problem to add another layer if it was not added before.

As for waterproofing, don't worry too much. In the past, Xiao Zirong also felt that the waterproofing of ancient times was not as good as that of later generations. After all, there were not so many chemical materials.

But after I really understand it, I know that in ancient times, underwater waterproofing may not be good, mainly because it cannot cope with water pressure, but there is still a way for ordinary waterproofing. Use glutinous rice gum and molten iron to make waterproof materials, and then apply it. above the water pipe.

As for the water pipes, the fine bamboo is also chosen. The baked bamboo is more heat-resistant than the pipes made of lime mortar. The only thing to worry about is whether the inside is prone to insects.

However, you can add something to the water during the heating operation, on the one hand to kill insects, and on the other hand to prevent hot water from being stolen.

After all these are solved, there will be the problem of heating water operation. Xiao Zirong decided to place the boiler room for heating supply in a higher place, and use the high and low water pressure difference to circulate the water. As for how the water will enter the boiler room, Xiao Zirong decided Discuss with the Zhai sisters.

He doesn't know much about this, and it's not easy to find a suitable solution in the vast amount of information. It's better to ask them to provide ideas, and then he can find a way to search for keywords, which should save a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zirong was about to stand up and look for the sisters of the Zhai family, but before she could leave the study, she heard A Yin say outside the door: "City Lord, Commander Lu, please see me."

Xiao Zirong pushed open the door helplessly: "Where did you learn what you want to see?"

A Yin said crisply: "Sister Cai Niang taught us that the outside world is like this, let us also behave a little bit in the future."

Xiao Zirong felt that he needed to talk to Liu Cainiang, but the most important thing now was to meet Lu Liu first.

Standing outside, Lu Liu saw Xiao Zirong coming out and hurriedly said, "City Master, I just found someone approaching the warning line, wearing exactly the same clothes as the regent's men two days ago."

Xiao Zirong gasped after hearing this, and his first reaction was: "You didn't beat him to death, did you?"
