Steel Dynasty - Chapter 311

[Chapter 311 The shock of the flush toilet]

“Flushing toilet? What is this?”

Looking at the craftsmen who were installing ceramic pipes in the restaurant, Feng Deshui was confused.

Xiao Ming felt proud. Naturally, he established the underground drainage system to completely improve the sanitary environment of Qingzhou City. Once upon a time, the Black Death in Europe made Europeans begin to pay attention to urban sanitation.

In the same way, the plague is also terrible. To prevent the plague, we must start with hygiene. At the same time, this is also a measure to change the face of Qingzhou city. He does not want to see poop when he goes out.

After laying the sewage pipes, Xiao Ming’s next plan is to promote flush toilets. Although there are no plastic pipes in Dayu, ceramic pipes can be completely replaced and are more solid and durable. Plastic pipes are now used only because of their low price.

Therefore, for Xiao Ming, it is not difficult to manufacture a modern flush toilet system, not to mention that now that lathes are in use, there is no problem even in producing copper valves.

Needless to say, toilets in modern times are made of ceramics.

“Are Minister Feng waiting to leave?” Xiao Ming did not answer, but asked instead.

Feng Deshui was aroused by this strange thing in Qingzhou. He said: “In order to see it, I can stay for two days.”

“This is easy. It will only take two days to produce the toilet. By then Feng Deshui It’s not too late for the minister to leave after seeing you.” Xiao Ming said, if Xiao Wenxuan finally decides to move the capital, what Feng Deshui sees in Qingzhou will definitely give him a head start in winning the project.

Feng Deshui smiled and nodded. He wanted to see how many tricks this King Qi had.

After arranging for Feng Deshui to stay, Xiao Ming sent someone to ask the supervisor of the ceramics workshop. When the road construction started, he gave them the structural diagram of the flush toilet.

The servant soon brought news that the first toilet was being fired and would be available within two days.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. When designing the toilet, he designed the diameter standard of the drainage pipe, which is a modern industry standard.

The purpose of this is for mass production, so that the toilets produced will not have to worry about not being able to fit in because of different pipe diameters in the room.

A day later, the craftsman from the ceramics workshop delivered a pure white toilet to the Wei family restaurant.

This toilet is almost the same as a modern toilet. The only difference is that the toilet is made of ceramic or copper, which can be said to be a bit luxurious.

When the toilet was delivered, Xiao Ming directed the craftsmen to install the toilet in the guest room on the first floor of Wei’s restaurant.

The Wei Family Restaurant has been undergoing renovations these days, and now each room has a ceramic pipe protruding from the ground. The craftsman aligned the toilet with the ceramic pipe and inserted it into the socket.

Then he connected the water inlet pipe behind the toilet and a riser pipe that ran up and down the Wei family restaurant.

After the craftsmen finished the construction, Xiao Ming said to Feng Deshui: “Shilang Feng, this is the toilet.”

After the water inlet pipe and the riser pipe were connected, a trace of water began to pour into the toilet from the riser pipe. This was used.

Feng Deshui was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a weird thing before. He couldn’t help asking: “How to use this?”

Xiao Ming laughed. There are two buttons on the toilet. Pressing either of them can flush the filth down. , he stepped forward and pressed it, and water was immediately filled from the toilet reservoir.

“Interesting!” Feng Deshui immediately shouted.

Xiao Ming said at this time: “Do you want to give Sir Feng a try?”

Feng Deshui nodded excitedly.

Xiao Ming led the people out of the room. After a while, the sound of pumping water came from the room, and Feng Deshui walked out with a smile on his face.

He gave Xiao Ming a thumbs up, “In this country of Chongqing, I only serve His Highness.”

“Shilang Feng, thank you very much. These are just gadgets.” Xiao Ming said modestly.

“Your Highness is being too modest, but with this ability, His Highness is indispensable in building a new city.” Feng Deshui said sincerely, “But Your Highness, where does the water in this toilet come from?”

In modern times, because of the availability of running water, this withdrawal The toilet is naturally convenient, but it is a lot more troublesome in the Chongqing Kingdom. He said: “Actually, you can flush this toilet by yourself, but I intend to make this Wei’s restaurant the most comfortable restaurant in the Chongqing Kingdom, so naturally I have to think about it.” Otherwise, has Minister Feng seen the tower outside this restaurant?”

Feng Deshui recalled that when he came, he did see a newly built tower on the side of Wei’s restaurant. This tower was similar to an arrow tower, except that it had Sealed, like a big box.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but nodded.

“This water comes from the tower. Every day, the waiter in the restaurant will lift the water and pour it into the water tower. There is a ceramic pipe from the tower to the vertical pipe on the roof of the restaurant. The water will flow down the vertical pipe. “This is the water in the toilet. This water will have more uses in the future, but it’s a pity that Feng Shilang has to go back.” Xiao Ming deliberately provoked Feng Deshui.

Feng Deshui felt an itch in his heart when he heard this. King Qi really pinched his heart. He loved cleanliness the most in his life, and this flushing toilet simply suited his taste.

However, he also knew that the flush toilet must be used in conjunction with the pipes and water tower to be clean, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

“Hey, Your Highness brought this old slave to see these things, but how can I get back?” When I went to the toilet just now, there was paper beside the toilet. Although the palace used silk and satin, it was rare to do this, not to mention this Just an ordinary restaurant.

Feng Deshui’s expression made Xiao Ming laugh. People like Feng Deshui who enjoyed a luxurious life in the palace were full of praise for this drainage system, not to mention the guests staying in the restaurant.

Accompanying Feng Deshui back, Feng Deshui and Xiao Ming talked about the drainage pipe along the way. They were still very interested, but he had to go back as soon as possible to recover.

He had no choice but to leave Qingzhou with regret.

“Your Highness, the Wei family restaurant has been installed. Our palace can use it anytime.”

Aster and Luoluo accompanied the whole process this time. Naturally, they also saw the flush toilet, and they were very anxious.

“Don’t worry, this underground pipeline is not usable yet. It was just to let Feng Shilang experience it. After all the pipelines are cleared, it will be fine. How could I forget the palace.” Xiao Ming said with a smile on his face.

Luluo said: “That’s right, that’s right, if this channel can be used when His Highness gets married, the princess will definitely have the same expression as Feng Shilang.”

“Does this need to be said? Let me tell you, apart from officials and common people in Chang’an now If there are more, they will not be as good as our Qingzhou in the future.” Speaking of this, Zi Wan had a proud face.

Unknowingly, they all regard Qingzhou as their home.

Xiao Ming shook his head. This urbanization construction was just the beginning. Qingzhou would only become more and more comfortable in the future.
