In the next few days, Yang Guang changed his name and took over the supervision of the construction of Daxing City. The matter became very popular, and the whole court was talking about it.

The prince's party has always been strongly opposed to the construction of Daxing City. Now that the supervision of the construction has fallen to Yang Guang, the opposition is even more intense. On the one hand, they are looking forward to seeing Yang Guang's jokes, but on the other hand, they are afraid that Yang Guang will take this matter seriously.

Once things were done, they spared no effort to create cliques in the court to oppose the Daxing City project.

When Yang Jian was about to have dinner today, he went to see Queen Dugu to get angry.

"Gao Jiong also spoke for the prince's party today. Is he, the prime minister, my prime minister or the prince's prime minister?"

Queen Dugu knew that Yang Jian was in a bad mood, and it was rare to see him so angry.

What makes him angry is not that the ministers are against Daxing City. This kind of argument has not been heard in the court for a day or two, but that his prime minister Gao Jiong has clearly stood up and opposed it with the prince's party today.

Gao Jiong has been following Yang Jian since he was the Prime Minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He is his right-hand man and has always been his solid supporter. Today's obvious opposition makes him feel that these people are forming a clique.

Queen Dugu comforted her and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Jun came to see my concubine yesterday."

"Oh? Why?"

"Your Majesty, you have handed over the important task of Daxing City to the King of Jin. Naturally there will be some criticism in the court. Prime Minister Gao Jiong has done an excellent job and thinks of everything for the Sui Dynasty. But Your Majesty, Gao Jiong's daughter is the prince's side after all.

Concubine, he is neutral because he understands that he must do things for His Majesty, but in the end he is afraid that Your Majesty has other thoughts."

Yang Jian frowned slightly: "So what I'm talking about today is that this old boy Gao Jiong did it for me to see. This old guy..."

"Your Majesty, it is human nature. The new dynasty is just beginning, and people's hearts are unstable. Don't blame too much."

"I understand, does Gao Jiong have other daughters?"

Queen Dugu shook her head.

"When will the princess of Nanliang come to Beijing?"

"Probably just these two days."

"Okay, I can rest assured that you are thinking about these things. I have had a chat with Gao Jiong over there."

"Your Majesty, why are you leaving in such a hurry? It's getting late, so just stay and have dinner. Your Majesty will be told to have dinner in my palace and go to bed."

Yang Jian said seriously: "Queen, I am busy with official duties today and have many things to deal with."

"Your Majesty has not rested here in this palace for five days."

"I'm busy, I'm really busy. Amo also said that he would add underground pipelines to Daxing City. This would cost at least 20% more. I don't know how Yu Wenkai did it, but he really accepted his suggestion.

He also said that the underground pipelines in Daxing City can last for hundreds of years. I have to go and take a look."

"Your Majesty, you are always busy. You have to take a good rest when you should. It's too late now. Yu Wenkai and Amo can't enter the palace overnight. Your Highness, please rest."

Yang Jian can no longer refuse, is this a break?

But when you are an emperor, it is reasonable to work day and night.

……

"Flush."

In the palace of Prince Jin, following Yang Guang's order, Wang Yi at the other end of the room pulled the rope, and the water that had been prepared for a long time flowed through the water channel and rushed to the other end.

Yu Wenkai was a little surprised and said: "Is this the new way of matching the sewage pipes that His Highness said before? In this way, all the dirt can be flushed directly into the sewage pipes!"

The reason why Yu Wenkai was surprised was because as a planner, he knew better than anyone else the importance of sewage discharge to the entire city.

Pavilions, palaces, markets, and palaces are the face of this city, but the more people live here, the more filth will be produced. People have thought of many ways, but

Neither of them can handle this matter well.

If a person wants to live, he must eat, drink and poop. If he solves the problem of eating and drinking, he must also solve the problem of poop. Otherwise, the ground will be full of filth sooner or later.

Origen is indeed an important fertilizer, but there is no place around Daxing City to consume the sewage produced by such a massive population. We still have to find a way to discharge it directly into the river.

The reason why Yang Guang told Yang Jian that he would lay sewage pipes underground in Daxing City from the very beginning was because he imagined that this huge city would be dragged down by this in the future, just like Europe in the Middle Ages, with olis everywhere.

Without a good sewage system, no matter how prosperous Daxing City is, it will be like the wide skirts of European ladies in the middle world, which looks good on the outside but slovenly on the inside.

The thing Yang Guang is building now is not a flush toilet, it is just a simple flush, but when combined with the sewage system, it can be much faster and cleaner than the current method.

Only then did Yu Wenkai realize that Yang Guang was not a person who only talked big words and painted big cakes. He thought of specific points, subtle points, and things that these noble families didn't even care about.

The aristocrats and wealthy men don't care about these things at all, because their servants will handle it for them, but ordinary people in this era have to deal with sewage every day.

"As long as the water tank is filled with water, it is flushed. This device does not cost much. As long as it is promoted, Daxing City can be free from the nuisance of sewage. Your Highness, you have done a great thing that benefits the country and the people." Yuwen

Kai was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"It's just a small matter. This is why I said we must increase the budget to lay sewage pipes."

"Your Highness is far-sighted, Your Highness is far-sighted!"

Yu Wenkai only felt that he had met someone who really understood urban construction. No matter what dignitaries he met before, they always only cared about how grand and elegant the house was, and no one cared about the lining of the house.

Originally, he was worried that Yang Guang, a teenage boy, would come to supervise the construction of Daxing City. In order to find something to do for his son, the emperor did not think that Yang Guang could be of any help. As long as he did not cause trouble, it would be fine.

I want to meet my soulmate.

Yang Guang said to Yu Wenkai: "Has the sand table been built?"

"Okay, Prince Jin, please go to the front hall and have a look."

In the past few days, in addition to ordering people to make flush toilets, Yang Guang also asked Yu Wenkai to find someone to make a model sandbox of Daxing City. More than a dozen carpenters worked day and night to make it.

When you come to the middle hall, there is a sand table currently placed inside. You can see a more three-dimensional view of the Imperial City and the East and West Markets. There are 109 squares. Due to the rush period, only 20 of the 109 squares have been made so far. The others still need to be built.

Add slowly, but it will be enough for demonstration.

Moreover, the craftsmen of this era are really skilled in craftsmanship. Even if they are working in a hurry, they will do their best. After all, if they do not do it well, they will ruin the brand, work for the royal family, and even lose their heads accidentally. No one dares to take it lightly.

Yang Guang looked at the sand table with great satisfaction. If we want to sell a house, we naturally have to make a good sales sand table, so that we can have room to play.

As for why we are so anxious to make it happen, it’s because the day after tomorrow is Yang Lihua’s birthday.

Who is Yang Lihua? The eldest daughter of Yang Jian, the empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is only twenty years old. Due to the affairs of the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the relationship between Yang Lihua and Yang Jian was relatively tense, but her relationship with Yang Guang has been good since childhood.

Yang Jian and his wife tolerated Yang Lihua in everything. Without Yang Lihua, it would not be so easy for Yang Jian to get the upper hand.

Once upon a time, the empress dowager of the previous dynasty became the princess of this dynasty, and she was the only one in the history. If we talk about the most powerful women in the capital, besides Queen Dugu, she is Yang Lihua.
