"I don't care who you are friends with, we only respect military orders!"
"Two days later, Lord Long Live will enter the capital from Deshengmen. From now on, the Han people will go to work and the bannermen will contribute. This is the decree of the imperial court!"
"The people near Deshengmen should sweep the courtyard and change into new clothes to prepare for the arrival. If there is anyone who can't be blamed... haha... The Han people don't need to take action from the Shuntian Prefecture, and the bannermen don't need to trouble the Internal Affairs Bureau!"
"The Xishan New Army has a spoonful of stew!"
"Catch these arrogant guys and let them pull excrement trucks from today on, and clean up all the excrement and garbage around Deshengmen!"
"Don't... don't! Sir, please don't mention me... I am a banner man, I really am a banner man!"
"That's right, you bannermen are the ones who will be punished. If we don't deal with some of you bastards in Deshengmen, others won't know how heavy the fate of Prince Gong is!"
"I was just worried that I couldn't find anyone to establish my authority with, so you guys just jumped out. It's true that if you don't take the path to heaven, hell will have no door for you!"
"Pick up the lock and let them haul the manure truck!"
The soldiers, who looked like wolves and tigers, used bayonets to force these banner men, who had just been practicing mantis boxing, monkey boxing, and tricks, to walk towards the dung heap.
Mr. Liu lost a tooth and was forced to deliver stool. He cried in grievance. He had never cried so aggrievedly before his father died the year before last.
People are bitter insects and cannot survive without fighting! A group of troublemakers were caught and severely punished, and the following decrees were implemented smoothly.
In the village outside Deshengmen, which is to the north of the city, all the Han people were mobilized. Those who had the strength to lay down soil to build roads, and those who had no strength to boil water for cooking.
The banner men in Deshengmen no longer dare to pretend to be uncles. Every household has to clean up its own house no matter what!
The latrines in the courtyard must be cleaned out, and quicklime should be sprinkled on them to disinfect them. The dead corners of garbage and even rat holes must be cleaned out.
There are piles of garbage at the door of every house, and Mr. Liu and others are responsible for pulling the dung trucks and garbage trucks. They transport the smelly dung and garbage from each household to the distant crop fields outside the city. .
The imperial court bought up almost all the white ash on the market, and every house had to be painted wherever the emperor wanted to pass.
The rulers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties never cared about the health conditions of the city. They only cared about whether their palaces and the surrounding areas were clean. As for whether the place where the people lived was good or not, no one cared about it.
On weekdays, people live in garbage dumps. The streets are covered with mud on sunny days and mud on rainy days. I have gotten used to this life and don't think there is any problem.
But after this general cleaning, people discovered how dirty their daily lives are!
Hundreds of carts of excrement would be collected from the latrines of each household. This was just around Deshengmen. If the entire capital city were to collect this amount of excrement, it would be enough to pile up a hill.
There is also the old mud in the streets and the garbage piles that look like tombs, all of which have to be carefully cleared out one by one.
It's strange to say that these pickled things coexist with people on weekdays, and no one finds it an eyesore or smells. But if they really clean up and dig out these dirty things, people will understand what smell is. Angry.
Until this time, some people in the court really couldn't sit still. Shuntian Prefecture Yin Jiang Qiling had the courage to write to the court, requesting the court to order the restoration of the capital's health regulations from five years ago!
Why do you say you need to be brave enough to submit a memorial? Because the health regulations of the capital five years ago were laws and regulations formulated by Xiao Letian, the then living Cao Cao.
After the Chinese conquered the Forty-Nine City, they assisted the government for half a year. That half year was simply a thorn in the hearts of the Manchu people that they did not dare to touch!
It was not only the shame of losing the war, but also the sharp contrast brought about by Xiao Letian's half-year rule.
Five years have passed, and both the people and officials in Sijiu City seem to have forgotten everything that happened at that time. Of course, it is not that they have really forgotten, but no one dares to mention it, not even a word!
During that time, the price of rice in the capital was actually pushed to a historically low price of 40 cents per meter, which was already lower than when Qianlong was at his peak.
During that time, Xiao Letian ordered the reconstruction of Longxugou, and transformed the smelly ditch east of the Temple of Heaven into a brand new Beijing Commercial Pedestrian Street. The increased land value and store rents made many people rich.
Another thing that people will never forget is the red sleeve hoops all over the city!
After Xiao Letian entered the city, he ordered the whole city to be cleaned up. In a whole month, all the garbage, dust and dirt that had accumulated for two hundred years since the late Ming Dynasty were cleaned out.
Clear water rushed out of the stone road of the Ming Dynasty, and all the stinky mud in Longxugou was also transported out of the city. Aunts and aunts with shrewd personalities were organized, and they were given fine rice and white flour as wages for a month without any money.
What do you want them to do? Just one word, curse!
Do you dare to spit anywhere? A group of old ladies surround you and scold you for being your ancestors for eight generations!
Do you dare to throw garbage anywhere? Your grandpa can make them come back to life from the scolding in their graves!
Do you dare to defecate anywhere? Come on, stop living. Even if you are a scholar, these old ladies with little feet and the Manchu aunts can still take off your pants!
We won’t impose a fine, but we will scold you until you completely repent from your soul and never dare to be unhygienic again!
During that period, it could be said to be the cleanest time in the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty. The air was fresh and sweet, and you didn't have to worry about stepping on dog poop while walking.
The walls are all pure white, and there are stone pavements on the ground. How come people's hearts are so clear!
But everything came to an abrupt end after Xiao Letian left the capital. The Manchus would never maintain the rules set by Xiao Letian. The price of rice slowly rose back. No one in Hongxiuhuan gave food to them. The dust on the ground became more and more more.
In just five years, Sijiu City has returned to the garbage dump it once was, and the people are as dirty and ignorant as ever!
But today, just because of the reception, the time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Shuntian Mansion is really under too much pressure. The old man Jiang Qiling is about to return to his hometown for retirement, so what should he be afraid of!
He mustered up the courage to file a memorial, demanding that the capital restore the sanitation system of the year and restore the red sleeve hoops. Otherwise, it would be impossible to clean the whole city in two days.
Unexpectedly, this memorial was not challenged, and the Queen Mothers of the two palaces, including Prince Gong and Prince Chun, all voted in favor!
In the evening of the same day, countless red sleeves from five years ago received the summons from Shuntian Mansion. These women held the newly received red sleeves and cried with excitement.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as we, the Red Sleeve Band, are here, we will give you a clean Beijing city!"
"Sisters! Let's go out and scold each other! Let's assign areas to perform their duties and clean up the whole city!"
When a tigress comes out of the shackles, the whole city is naturally frightened. No matter you are a high-ranking official or a trafficker, as long as you are not a hygienic person, no one will be afraid of seeing these red sleeves of the tigress.
At that time, the whole city of Forty-Nine City exclaimed, "Oh my God! The red-sleeved tigress under the prime minister back then is back...Run quickly, go home and clean it up!"
"I can't scold them! I can't afford to offend them!"
