At the Qingzhou Government Office, when it came to the idea of a bank, Xiao Ming once again explained the concept to Pang Yukun. Although it was called a bank, it was essentially the same as a pawnshop.
Pang Yukun understood.
After discussing the bank, Pang Yukun took out the blueprints for the city’s infrastructure project.
This project was divided into two parts: the construction of cement roads and the laying of underground pipes.
The cement roads didn’t need much explanation, but the underground pipes included drainage and sewage pipes.
Xiao Ming wanted Qingzhou to become a highly prosperous commercial hub, and he naturally aimed to look ahead. Thus, the design for underground pipes was incorporated into the plans.
At first, Pang Yukun didn’t understand the reasoning behind this design, but after Xiao Ming explained, he realized the significance. He smiled and said, “Your Highness, this underground pipeline is unprecedented. No city in the Great Yu Empire has such a sewage system. Qingzhou will be the first. But, Your Highness, where will the sewage pipes ultimately lead?”
Xiao Ming had already been planning this underground system for a while. Once it was completed, he could also transform the palace to enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle with proper sanitation.
Moreover, the sewage system would serve another important purpose.
“It will lead to my official farm,” Xiao Ming said with a smile, “No manure, no rice fragrance.”
The end destination for the sewage pipes would be a large compost pit. This compost would not only provide fertilizer for the official farm, but Xiao Ming also planned to experiment with biogas production.
