Ten minutes later, Fang Zheng staggered out of the toilet.
He was extremely weak, holding onto the wall, his legs trembling slightly.
In this world without toilets, squatting for a long time is a punishment.
Li Yuanzhao immediately rushed over to help him, with a tangled expression, "What kind of swill do you eat? Stay here and rest for a day. I will go out and take a look myself."
"What swill? That's Western food!" Fang Zheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm fine. Give me some salt water. Let's rest for a while and then we'll set off."
"Oh right...Xie Xian, go tell Lai Gou'er to fix a toilet in Holy City for me! Not a single hole can be left!"
Xie Xian responded and pulled Zhou Tie away.
"Lao Fang, are you still thinking about this?"
As soon as Fang Zheng stood firm on his feet, he grabbed Li Yuanzhao's sleeve and said weakly, "Your Majesty, promise me one thing."
"I agree, you tell me."
"After defeating the King of Wu, order all Western countries to build toilets."
Li Yuanzhao's eyebrows kept twitching.
Lao Fang is obsessed with toilets! But it is not difficult for him to make this request.
"Take a break first, and we'll talk after you've rested."
.....
Half an hour later, all the personnel were ready.
Li Yuanzhao and the weak Mr. Fang were in front, and Lai Gouer acted as an interpreter.
Hope also came with them.
Hope has made a lot of contributions to the construction of the Holy City over the years, so he is the perfect companion.
But there was another person next to him, and he looked very unfamiliar.
Fang Zhengyi raised his chin towards Lai Gou'er, indicating that he wanted to introduce the new foreigner.
Lai Gou'er understood and introduced, "Your Majesty, Lord, this man is called Black, and he is an important partner of Hope. His business has been growing in the past two years. The sand, stone, and wood used in the many buildings built by our Dajing in the Holy City, and even the current construction team, are all provided by him. After you have seen the buildings in the city, if Your Majesty finds anything that is not up to standard, I can order him to make corrections."
"This time, he also learned that His Majesty had entered the city, and he immediately asked Hope for an opportunity, wanting to admire His Majesty's divine appearance."
Li Yuanzhao nodded and said casually: "Alright, as long as the people who can cooperate with Dajing are talented, let him accompany him."
Lai Gouer turned around and translated for Hope and Blake.
Upon hearing this, Blake smiled brightly, trotted to Emperor Jing, bowed solemnly, and said something auspicious.
Fang Zheng said, "Dog, has your Majesty arranged the itinerary for today's trip? Bring me the map for your Majesty to see."
Lai Gou'er took the map and walked forward, unfolded it, pointed at the locations on it and explained, "Your Majesty, these locations marked with triangles are where our Dajing is building fortifications, and most of them have been completed."
"The closest location to the Temple Mount is the schools built by Dajing, and then there is the Taoyuan Clinic. After visiting the clinic, you can go directly along the street to the residential area built in the original slums. This is the quickest way."
"As for other locations, I am afraid that Your Majesty's energy is limited, so I have already made plans for the next two days."
Li Yuanzhao said: "Okay, let's follow the route you arranged, let's go!"
......
In the Experimental Primary School, Fang Zhengyi and his group have arrived.
Many classrooms were still teaching, and Fang Zhengyi and his companions did not want to disturb them, so they just walked around in the corridor.
Through the door, one could clearly hear a group of exotic chit-chat coming from inside the room.
The general content is something like Three Character Classic and Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child.
Lai Gou'er introduced: "Your Majesty, since the operation of this school, a group of children with excellent academic performance and talents have been born in advance. They are well versed in Dajing culture and their yearning for Dajing is far beyond that of ordinary people."
"Some of these graduates have joined the army, while others have transferred to the medical clinic opened by Dajing to study."
"The bonuses and benefits we offer to these students are very generous. Now the people of the Holy City are proud that their children can enter the Dajing Academy and know the words of the saints."
"The students all remember how good Da Jing was to them, and they all say they owe His Majesty a favor."
Fang Zhengyi said with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that these foreigners have received education and understand what gratitude means. We should work harder on publicity and try to make those who have not yet been born also owe us a debt of gratitude."
"Oh, Lao Fang, you've almost finished." Li Yuanzhao said, and turned to Lai Gou'er and said, "On the way here, I heard Lao Fang talk about some things about the school. I heard that when the school was first established, the school also allowed the teaching of theology. Although Pope Soljie is friendly with Dajing, theology, in my opinion, really deceives people's hearts. Aren't these students affected?"
Lai Gou'er shook his head and said, "Of course there is an influence, but the proportion of church knowledge in the entrance examination and graduation examination is not high, so the vast majority of people are still keen on Dajing's culture. Although many priests are dissatisfied with this, I have suppressed this part of the opposition."
"How did you hold it down?"
"It's very simple. The priests and their families who oppose it are not allowed to go to Dajing's clinic for treatment if they are sick."
Li Yuanzhao was puzzled and asked, "Is it that simple? The West has its own medicine, right? It doesn't matter where you go to see a doctor."
Lai Gou'er explained, "Your Majesty, the miraculous effect of penicillin has long been widely spread in the city. There are also miraculous theories and techniques. Many terminally ill patients have been saved, so countless people are flocking to it."
"On the other hand, Western medicine is extremely crude and only involves cutting veins and bleeding. It is extremely risky. When I first proposed this plan, many priests were still insisting that they could see Western medicine for treatment. However, once their own interests were harmed, they finally chose to shut up."
"There is a saying in the Holy City now... Western medicine makes you die in confusion, while Jing medicine makes you live clearly."
Li Yuanzhao clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha, great! This is a great plan. If there is another charlatan who insists on his words, I will make him see a Western doctor. Let's go and continue."
......
A construction site in a slum area.
The workers were sweating profusely as they worked.
This construction site is a new residential area built by the people of Dajing, and it has been under construction for more than a year.
Generally speaking, the outlines of many buildings have been completed, and some only need to cover the roof.
The construction site was full of piles of sand, gravel and bricks.
Some workers were pushing carts carrying sand, some were mixing cement, and others were carrying bricks.
Under the glaring sunlight, the workers worked in an orderly manner, without any of the noisy mechanical sounds seen in construction sites of later generations.
With a whistle, there was a brief pause on the construction site.
Then many workers put down their work and walked towards a shed.
It's time to eat.
After long hours of heavy physical labor under the scorching sun, many people were already hungry and thirsty.
Soon, a long line of people waiting for food formed outside the shed.
Hundreds of workers gathered in front of the first shed, and a long line stretched out.
