The most arrogant in history

Chapter 382 Who’s Brain Is Broken?

Tan Bamao was loyal to his master and treated his godfather as his real father. He knelt down and said:

"Godfather, even if you want me to be the emperor, I won't do it. I will just follow you. I am not old. I am your son and I am still very young!"

"You guy...get up quickly."

Ye Kun felt warm in his heart and stopped talking about this matter.

The previous residences are still there and are taken care of by maids.

Ye Kun took Youde to look at it and said:

"Youde, we will stay here for a few days, and then we can sell this house and donate the money to the people. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave this house here, and we would have to send someone to take care of it."

Youde chuckled and said, "This is Miss Yuejuan's ancestral property. Maybe in the future, she will come back to take a look."

Ye Kun shrugged: "Okay, keep it."

This is indeed the house left by Liu Yuejuan's parents. If we sell it rashly, I'm afraid Yuejuan will be unhappy.

The next morning, Ye Kun and Jiang Youde went shopping together.

Hirano County is now more lively than before.

There are many children on the streets.

Many are newborns aged one or two years old.

With a stable life, better conditions and the abolition of the head tax, people will naturally be willing to have children.

Youde brought her maid and then stopped a few young women to ask about the situation and learn about the popularization of health publicity work.

Very satisfied with the result.

Those young mothers all know to drink boiled water, wash hands frequently, expose clothes to the sun for disinfection, and they also know to wean their children after about a week.

There is also a group of people who have accepted the concept of eugenics and know that they cannot get married even if they are close.

Ye Kun has already written about the dangers of consanguineous marriage into the medical school textbooks and asked all doctors to vigorously promote it.

However, as for the phenomenon of cousins ​​marrying each other, we can only dissuade them but not forcibly prohibit them.

The conditions are not yet ripe for compulsory enforcement at this time.

Once the publicity is in place, people will pay attention to the children born to close relatives and find that the disability rate, infant mortality rate, deformity rate and dementia rate are very high. Ordinary people will gradually avoid marrying close relatives.

Today's market is particularly lively and crowded with people.

Because everyone knows that Ye Kun is back, let’s come together to see and pay him a visit.

Ye Kun walked around South Street, which took him an hour.

Youde also asked the maid to take out copper coins and randomly give them to the elderly and children on the street.

Many villagers also said that their children had grown up and they wanted Ye Kun to take them to the army to learn some military and literary strategies.

Ye Kun asked Tan Sichou to register, and accepted all those who were willing to join the army and sent them to the recruit training camp.

Some officials of Jingzhou followed Ye Kun on his southern tour. Seeing this scene, they were all very moved and whispered to each other: "The kindness of the King of Hanzhong has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. The people are loyal to him. No wonder he is invincible."

Ye Kun was thinking, since the folks in Pingye County supported him so much, could he give them some favors or conveniences?

So he asked the representatives of the elders to tell him what areas need improvement in the development and governance of Pingye County.

An old man said, "Master Ye, we have seen that many wealthy families have biogas stoves, but poor families do not. When will this thing be available in ordinary people's homes?"

To the ancients, the biogas stove was a very magical thing.

Especially in the hot summer, it is so convenient. Boiling water and cooking is quick and clean!

After being fermented in a biogas digester, the feces becomes more fertile and can also increase food production, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the construction of a biogas stove is not cheap. It requires cement, bricks, and some copper pipes. Poor families cannot afford the construction cost.

The second reason is that ordinary people’s families do not have enough people and do not raise many livestock, so there is not enough manure to meet the gas production requirements.

The third reason is that the biogas digester needs special maintenance to check for leaks and so on.

In view of the above reasons, it is difficult to popularize biogas digesters and they can only be built in large households.

But since the villagers had raised their concerns, Ye Kun had to find a way to solve it, so he called in the technicians:

"It is technically possible to miniaturize a biogas digester. Can you guess what kind of family would need to build a practical small-scale biogas digester to ensure normal use?"

The technicians conducted on-site research and reported to Ye Kun:

"A family of ten can raise two or three pigs and a cow all year round to meet the stable gas production of the biogas digester. When there is not enough manure, adding a small amount of black sludge and rotten grass can also produce gas. The construction cost is about the same as that of a tiled house.

There will be no problem with the later maintenance technology, just give the village chief or militia captain some simple training.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Kun said to the old man:

"In this case, we will encourage the people to work as large families in the future. Any family with more than ten people who raise pigs and cattle can apply to build a biogas digester. I will pay for the construction costs, and you just need to treat the workers to a meal."

There are only tens of thousands of households in Hirano Prefecture, and less than one-fifth of them have more than ten people.

Not every company will apply for it, so it won’t cost much.

The old man was very happy and said with a smile: "Then I will be the first to apply!"

"I will send someone to build a biogas tank and toilet for you, and ask the military camp to send you some cow dung and horse dung, so that you can use the biogas stove in ten days."

Ye Kun laughed and assigned technical personnel on the spot to go to the old man's house to make design plans.

Seeing that Ye Kun was easy to talk to, other villagers also came forward to report the situation and make some requests.

The villagers’ requests are all kinds of strange.

Some hoped that Ye Kun would be a matchmaker for them, some hoped that Ye Kun would help them to divide their family property, and some hoped that Ye Kun would vigorously promote honeycomb coal and coal stoves so that they could warm themselves by fire in winter...

Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile:

"The affairs of the villagers should be managed by the village head, or the head of the pavilion or the head of the township. We have regulations that officials at all levels will do their best to serve the villagers.

As for honeycomb coal, it is not enough for everyone now because the coal production is not enough. People can use traditional charcoal or cow dung to keep warm in winter. "

When it comes to coal, Ye Kun really has no way to deal with it.

They have been mining at a frenzy, but the output is only enough for steelmaking and ironmaking, and it is difficult to benefit the people.

Besides, considering the transportation costs at that time, even if it was really delivered to the public, few people could afford it.

The technician whispered, "If you really want to use a coal stove, you can break up the charcoal, add cow dung and stir it to make honeycomb coal. It may be more convenient than burning charcoal directly..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "That's an idea. We can try making honeycomb coal by adding charcoal crumbs from the charcoal factory and cow dung."

During the five days he stayed in Pingye County, Ye Kun visited fellow villagers, worked on-site and solved everyone's problems.

Youde also had a great time and asked Ye Kun when he was going to Jianghetou.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in Pingye County, Ye Kun took Youde to revisit Jianghetou Village.

There are still some villagers left in Jianghetou, and with the care of Yan Liuhai, the area has developed very well, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is a paradise on earth.

Youde returned to his hometown with a happy face. He visited the villagers who stayed behind, spent money lavishly and chatted with them.

Or you can go to the fields, look around, and recall your childhood.

Ye Kun also took some time to visit Shuangya Mountain and Caomiao Village, and felt quite emotional.

It’s been seven or eight years, and it hasn’t been easy along the way.

Yan Liuhai rushed over from Changsha and reported to Ye Kun: "Brother, Jiangdong knows that you are going south, and has sent an envoy to Changsha to meet you. When do you think we can go to Changsha?"

Ye Kun frowned slightly: "What is Xiao Dequan planning? Why did he send an envoy to see me?"

"It is said that they want to buy our guns and gunpowder."

"Damn, is Xiao Dequan crazy?" Ye Kun was stunned and laughed, "Or am I crazy? I sold him guns and let him fight me?"
