Chapter 677
Preparations for the house were underway
“Mr. Takumi. I just heard from the chief that they are preparing a water system by connecting it to the river. Once that is finished, construction on the house can begin.”
“I see. I don’t know much about such things, so I’ll have to leave it to you…”
As I was gazing at the vast land and imagining how it would change, Mr. Sebastian approached and told me about what he and the chief had discussed after lunch.
“Also… As is the country’s policy, towns that are of a certain size always have a proper sewage system. According to history books, this greatly improved the quality of life for many people, and allowed them to be clean.”
“Yes, it would be very inconvenient to not have that.”
I didn’t know how long it took them to have that here, but I had read that it was once quite bad in Europe.
There were even terrible plagues… Well, I didn’t know if that was the exact reason. Still, having a proper sewage system would certainly help.
Still, I wonder how they did it? It seemed quite complicated.
“Takumi, don’t you remember what we talked about yesterday? There are other people like you here. And they shared their knowledge.”
