Chapter 28 28. Hygiene Opinion
"That's right." Luo Wei said in a deep voice: "If there is no punishment, this phenomenon will not change."
"How are you going to punish me?" the Raja asked, twirling his beard.
"There are two types of punishment, and they don't have to be too severe. One is a fine, and the other is hard labor." Lovi paused and began to explain in more detail: "A fine of two copper pennies, or hard labor for half a day."
"That's not too severe." Raja nodded in approval. "We punish people based on their level of ability."
"If caught on the spot, they will be punished. When the inspection is announced, those who fail to meet the hygiene standards at the door will be punished."
"Then may I ask, how shall the money from the punishment be distributed?"
"One copper penny is given to the informant to increase his enthusiasm. The remaining copper penny is confiscated and used as the cost of garbage removal."
Lowe then mentioned the concept of public toilets and the idea of sewers.
Raja was intrigued by the idea of designing sewers using the height difference of the terrain.
Public toilets and garbage dumps are simple and can be found everywhere in town.
Garbage removal has always been a headache. Town residents have always hated doing this.
"Then let's hire homeless people and pay them a bit higher." Lovey thought.
"My Lord, do you want to increase taxes?" Raja tested cautiously.
"It is not necessary to raise taxes. But sanitation fees must be collected. Either everyone can take turns to carry out the garbage, or they can hire refugees to help. It is up to them to choose."
"I see."
After talking for a long time, the meat on the table became a little cold.
Luo Wei picked up the meat with bamboo chopsticks and took a bite. The taste of venison was very good. It tasted better than wild boar meat.
Lanlan quietly poked her head out from the edge of the door, staring at Luo Wei's skillful use of two slender bamboo chopsticks without blinking.
She spent a lot of time making this. I thought Lovi would use it to pick his teeth. I didn't expect it to be a kind of tableware. It looks very flexible.
"Lanlan, come here," Lovey suddenly shouted.
Lan Lan's ears moved, and she lowered her head and walked closer to Luo Wei, "Master."
"Touch its tail and have a bite." Lovey picked up a piece of venison and shook it in front of Lanlan's nose with a smile.
Lan Lan swallowed irrationally, "No, this won't work."
"Venison is super delicious." Lowe tempted.
"No, you can't touch the tail randomly." Lan Lan shook her head uncertainly.
"Then I will allow Lanlan to lick it." Lovi put the chopsticks close to the lips of the blue-haired beautiful girl.
She suddenly opened her mouth uncontrollably and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Okay, Lanlan. You eat it and I have the tail." Lovi put down his chopsticks, rubbed his hands and stood up.
"Did I eat it?" Lanlan blinked cutely.
"I don't care, just give it to me." Lovi pounced on his food like a hungry tiger.
Lan Lan smiled and hid aside, making faces at Luo Wei, "Come on, Master, if you catch me, I'll give you a tail."
"You vixen."
"I am an ice wolf, not a vixen."
"What are you two doing?" Lodel appeared at the door of the office, her sweaty arms resting on the door frame, her face also covered in sweat.
"Nothing." Luo Wei pretended to be calm. "Just some exercise after dinner. Dale, you've worked hard. How many people have you recruited?"
"Not many, twenty-seven." Lodel walked into the office and waved his hand to signal Lanlan to leave. "Lord, you are having a great time."
"No way, I take the affairs of the territory very seriously." Lovi talked about his administrative order on sanitation and wanted to hear Lodel's opinion.
"How much money are you prepared to invest?" Lodel asked directly.
"It should be at least two thousand silver dollars." Lowe said a number casually.
"What about other places? You are not planning to implement this decree only in Huange Town, are you?" Lodel took the towel handed over by Lovi and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "There are three cities, seven towns, and twenty-eight villages in the whole area. One town costs two thousand silver dollars. Have you ever thought about how much it will cost in total?"
Lowe was stumped by the question. He scratched his hair in annoyance, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"Let's try it in Huange Town first. If the effect is good, we can promote it to the whole area. What do you think?"
"My Lord, make your own decision."
"How much loot is left now?"
"There are still 23,762 silver dollars and 100 gold royals left." Lodel opened her rosy lips and said a string of numbers, "The pensions and compensation have not been paid out, and there are also expenses for new soldiers, weapon wear and tear, etc."
"How much can I use?"
"You do the math yourself. I'm not your staff."
"Okay, let me ask you how much this is?"
'Just enough'
"What do you mean by just enough? Please explain clearly."
"I am a general who leads troops. I don't know how to do accounting. I will take as much as I can."
Such a grand reason made Luo Wei speechless, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Lodel looked at the remaining venison on the plate. "Where's your fork?"
Luo Wei picked up the meat with chopsticks and said, "Open your mouth."
Luo Deer looked at Luo Wei's actions strangely and opened his mouth in cooperation, "What kind of tableware is this? Where did you see others using it?"
"Can't it be my own invention?" Lovi waited for Lodel to finish eating, then picked up another piece of meat and put it into her mouth.
"It's very easy to use and doesn't dirty your hands." commented Lodel.
"Or you can try it." Lovi handed the chopsticks to Lodel.
Lodel hesitated slightly and reached out to take the two bamboo chopsticks.
Her hands were a little rough, with calluses all over the base of her hands.
This is the case for people who use swords all year round.
In fact, even without a sword, a female warrior's hands would not look good.
Of course, it's better than the knight's bow legs.
Luo Deer imitated Lowe's movements and tried to pick up a piece of meat and slowly put it into his mouth.
Well, good, it didn't fall off. With the successful experience once, she got the hang of it the second time.
"You're quite smart." Lovi praised with a exaggerated smile.
Lodel glared at him and said, "How difficult is this? Don't treat me like a fool, okay?"
"Lanlan, bring another plate of meat." Lovey shouted.
"Okay, young master." Lan Lan agreed, came in wagging her tail, took away the empty plate, and trotted out.
"Dayl, let me see your hand." Lovi took Dayl's hand directly in front of his eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Lodel let Lovi look at the palms and backs of her hands, forcing an indifferent expression, "Does it look ugly?"
There is no way around it. In order to gain the power to protect, this is an inevitable sacrifice.
"Yeah, what a pity."
Lodel's hand was perfect, at least on the back of her hand. Lovi returned Lodel's hand to her with a look of regret.
"My mother said that if I can cultivate to the holy realm, these calluses will disappear. I don't know if it's true." Lodel looked at her hands with depressed eyes.
