Chapter 1642: Renovation of shanty towns and promotion of honeycomb coal

With such a handicraft guild that obey the government, Marin can also easily control the artisans and workers in those related industries, saving the government's management costs. 35xs

You know, these craftsmen are the most unstable social factors in ancient times. Since a long time ago, these artisans known as citizens have been the main force of European riots.

European serfs are generally very honest. If it is not impossible to survive, they generally seldom take the initiative to rebel. But these craftsmen are different. They are a little bit knowledgeable. Many people also know braille. They have the vision and arrogance that serfs do not have.

Therefore, sometimes the official adds a little oppression, and the craftsmen will easily fry. In particular, the taxation issue is very sensitive to the civic class dominated by craftsmen.

For example, the peasant uprising in Württemberg was said to be a peasant uprising, but its leader, Kasbar, was a blacksmith who made swords. In the southern part of Germany, widespread rebellious group shoe clubs similar to the Tiandi Association were actually initiated by a group of shoemakers.

Including the uprisings of later China, it was also initiated by the working class as the backbone and leading the peasants. Even the name is Workers and Peasants **** ... Even though Hua Xia's fate is actually the majority of peasants, it is the working class who is in the leading position.

Therefore, the citizen class is the biggest destabilizing factor in society. Almost all the frustrations in charge of modern Europe were initiated by the working class. Especially in France, workers in Paris are basically making trouble ...

Therefore, the society can be stable only if the civic class dominated by handicraftsmen is properly managed. Otherwise, please be mentally prepared for guillotine ...

However, although the working class is terrible, the demands are not so high. As long as they have enough food and clothing to wear, they won't actually play casually.

However, in the hapless Europe, agriculture has been very garbage, and it was not until the 18th century that it began to learn from China and made some progress. Previously, European grain production has been low to a touching level. Therefore, the workers can't even afford the bread, and it is inevitable that there is resentment in their hearts.

But in Beihai, it is impossible to afford food. Because the food production in the North Sea is too high, and the food supply is extremely sufficient. Unlike the bread of other countries, it is mixed with a lot of unpalatable things like wild vegetables, wood chips, mud and stones. In the North Sea country, brown bread is only mixed with a little straw bran. Although it tastes a bit coarse, it is much better than earth and stones.

And the textile industry that Marin intends to engage in now can fully solve the problem of dressing, so that people in Beihai can wear warm clothes. At the same time, Marin is also planning to build hospitals everywhere to solve the problem of people seeing a doctor ...

As for the housing issue, Marin doesn't have much. He can't always see a poor man and send a house? He couldn't afford it then. This issue can only be given to local officials to send warm activities. For example, in the cold winter, local officials came to the shantytown and instructed the bricklayers to sew up their shanty. It's not good, you can pile up a classic adobe house!

The adobe room is warm enough to build a kang. If nothing else, it is at least much stronger than the shacks in the city. Moreover, the cost is very low, requiring only soil and thatch, plus a little manpower.

Although the construction of adobe houses in the city affects the appearance of the city, but this time, it is not the time to pay attention to face, but the cost. It is a matter of course that rich people build stone houses or brick houses and build adobe houses without money. As long as the adobe house is not built along the avenue and downtown, Marin will not care. Malin was born of ordinary people and understands the difficulties of the poor. It is not like some managers who have never seen human suffering in later generations, actually use the nonsense excuses such as the appearance of the city and the appearance of the city, and they are not allowed to do so.

In fact, Marin has always felt that the shanty houses in which the poor lived in European cities were extravagant. Why? Because it's all wood!

Maybe Marin is used to the future generations. The development of China's later generations is too high. The woods and the like are hard to see. Therefore, subconsciously feel that wood is expensive. You should know that in future generations, in order to create furniture, China will import a large amount of wood from abroad every year.

And in this era, the poor people in European cities were so extravagant that they used wood to make all-wood houses, which often made Marin think that this man was pretending to be poor ...

Of course, people are really poor. Because, in this era, Europeans really do not understand the construction of adobe houses with lower cost!

Moreover, this year the European population is not too dense, there are many forests, and the wood is not too expensive. The cost of building an all-wood house is not too high. Of course, compared with adobe houses, it is indeed much higher. After all, in Europe this year, even if you are logging, you have to pay taxes to the government.

But Marin didn't like this kind of wooden house very much, because once a fire broke out, it was very dangerous for the squatter area mainly made of wooden houses to burn a large area.

However, if you change to an adobe house, using thatched roof is also easy to catch fire. Therefore, Marin intends to transform the shantytowns in the Beihai city and replace those wooden houses with adobe houses. However, roof tiling reduces the risk of fire.

Moreover, if you paint a layer of white lime mortar on the outside of the adobe house, the adobe house covered with tiles looks no different from the brick house, and it is still very beautiful.

Of course, for this type of straw-reinforced adobe house, because of gravity, the walls cannot be stacked too high, and only a relatively small three-room house can be made. However, this is enough. Because, for the poor, they dare not expect the big house.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Marin personally ran to the shantytown of Aurich City and directed a large number of craftsmen to urgently repair a three-room adobe house within a day. Among them, the roof is made of timber removed from the wooden house as a beam, and then the roof beam is covered with tiles. Finally, the outer wall of the adobe house was all painted with a layer of white lime mortar ...

Then, a very beautiful little house with oriental characteristics was built. However, for such houses in the city, Marin canceled the special earth stove and chimney in the adobe houses occupied by the rural serfs. Because, his plan is to let city residents use the coal briquette stove. The honeycomb coal stove can be placed outside the door to cook water. Therefore, you can save a room to put things in, or live. If it rains, the honeycomb coal stove can also be placed in the door of the hall to cook.

After the trial residence of the residents of the shantytown, this small three-bedroom adobe house was highly praised by the residents who originally lived in the broken wooden house. Because, in this hot day, the residents feel that living in the adobe house is actually very cool and comfortable ...

Moreover, its repair cost is very low. The biggest cost is probably the roof tiles. As for soil and thatch, there is no cost. The roof beams were also removed from the original wooden house, and most of the wood can be left. The place where the money is really spent is to buy the mortar for the tiles and the walls. But lime is cheaper and the cost is not high. Only the cost of tiles is slightly higher, but ordinary people can afford to bite their teeth. Of course, there are also masons wages, but this one is not too high. This is because the masons have only three Finneys a day.

In other words, this kind of adobe house with white roof and tile roof is affordable for poor people. Moreover, the appearance is also more beautiful, a bit like a tile house. At least, in this era, no one will feel that a house with white tiles on the roof will affect the city ...

Therefore, in order to attract those shantytown workers who seemed to be unstable, and to reduce the risk of fire, Marin took the lead in the capital of Orihi to carry out large-scale shantytown renovation work.

While replacing the dilapidated wooden houses with adobe houses with tiled roofs and white walls, Marin also took the opportunity to re-plan the messy shantytowns. At least, neat streets were planned. At the same time, a public toilet was also built in each small area to collect manure and transported to the outside of the city for treatment of fertilizer fields. Of course, I did not forget to promote the oriental toilet.

After all, squatting in public toilets is limited. If all go to the public toilets, they may not be ranked. It would be troublesome to pull on the pants. Therefore, Marin let people guide everyone to use the toilet at home and cover it. Then, concentrate on going to the public toilet every morning to pour the toilet. In this way, you do n’t have to grab a public toilet seat every day.

After this transformation, the problem of dirty and messy shantytowns in Aurich has been greatly improved, reducing the possibility of disease breeding. Moreover, the people's hearts of those citizens who have the potential for rebellion have been greatly harvested. At the same time, the cost is not much ...

Afterwards, the "shadow area renovation" with brick roofs and white-walled adobe houses replaced the broken wooden houses, and they were successively promoted in various cities in the Beihai country, which made Marin brush a wave of prestige among the citizens of Beihai.

Moreover, the shrewd Marin also took the opportunity to promote a wave of honeycomb coal stove. After all, ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The renovated tile roof and white wall version of the adobe house, without the earth stove, forced the citizens to use honeycomb stoves instead. In order to achieve this goal, Marin also pretended to give a lot of honeycomb coal stoves to those citizens, and then instructed them where to buy honeycomb coal ...

Without the earthen stove, even if the citizens are conservative, they will have to try honeycomb at this time. Then, they will soon find that using coal briquettes for cooking and boiling water is more cost-effective. Moreover, there is no need to stack firewood at home.

In the past, almost every urban family would have a log house with firewood, which occupies a lot of space. Now, with the honeycomb coal stove, each household can simply use a little honeycomb coal in the corner, and it can be used for many days, which is very convenient.

Poor people in shanty towns are the most cost-sensitive groups and the best customers of honeycomb coal. Because those rich people don't care about the cost issue at all, and they don't worry about the firewood nowhere to pile up.

However, there were many people who were conservative and afraid of change. As a result, although Marin promoted honeycomb coal, it also seemed very popular, but it could not be fully rolled out. Because more people are watching or refusing to change. And Marin took advantage of the opportunity of shantytown reconstruction and took the opportunity to cancel the layout of the earthen stove, which is equivalent to forcing those conservative citizens to switch to honeycomb coal. After all, the adobe houses of the three small rooms do not have earthen stoves or wood houses.

Through the opportunity to help build new houses in shanty towns, Marin not only took advantage of the opportunity to earn a wave of popular opinion, but also seized a large area of ​​the market for coal briquettes. After all, honeycomb coal is basically in the hands of Marin, but he makes a lot of money. Once the coal briquettes are fully spread out, Marin lays down and counts money every day ...
