    Disaster relief tents have been distributed, and several houses in the hardest-hit areas have been completely destroyed. Although the marching tents Chen Xu brought are not small, they are still insufficient to face the vast number of victims.  Distributing tents to families is obviously not enough. After thinking for a long time, Chen Xu decided to break the boundaries of families - this is of course temporary - divide the tents into male and female dormitories, and at the same time increase the floor area ratio.  In Dayan, Chen Xu was the first to coin the term floor area ratio. Qiuyue curiously asked how to increase the floor area ratio. Chen Xu laughed and said that it was just to put more people in each tent. The weather is cold now, and there are many people to keep warm.  Qiuyue pondered for a long time, then she raised her eyebrows and said, "My lord, that's not right. Although this can relieve urgent needs, it also leaves hidden dangers." After a moment of pause, she added: "Just now, Master Zitan and his apprentice were checking my body. They concluded that after the disaster,  There must be a major epidemic. The more concentrated the population is, the greater the damage will be caused once the plague breaks out." Mrs. Wu walked outside her daughter's tent with the newly cooked rice porridge. She couldn't help but hear her daughter directly rejecting the imperial envoy's idea.  Secretly worried, what's going on with a woman doing politics?  Even if you say it, you still have to save some face for the man, right?  She then decided to find an opportunity to talk to her daughter.  Why doesn¡¯t Chen Xu know this truth?  It can be seen just by looking at the people in the disaster area defecating everywhere - even the older girls and younger wives seem to have forgotten their innate shyness, and you can see their white buttocks everywhere when they walk outside.  In the hardest-hit areas, not only the laws have lost their binding force, but also the most basic ethics and moral concepts seem to have disappeared. As an imperial envoy, what Chen Xu has to do is to restore the original social order as soon as possible. ? Establishing public toilets is the first and arguably most important step.  In two days, more than 200 seats have been set up in Huaxian County.  Regarding the distinction between male and female signs in public toilets, Chen Xu spent a lot of time thinking. The illiteracy rate in Dayan is as high as 90%. Before the complete eradication of illiteracy, it is useless to write the words male and female on the door of the toilet. The two cartoon figures in modern society  The villains are not easy to distinguish.  Who says men don¡¯t grow their hair or wear skirts?  "Let me tell you, the figures in the men's restroom stand and the figures in the women's restroom squat, their physiological structures are different." Qiuyue laughed so hard that she almost hugged her belly, "Mr., this is too vulgar and too direct." Chen  Xu patted her lightly and said, "Auntie, let's take it easy, you are pregnant now." Qiuyue really couldn't hold back her laughter.  Although the arrival of the little thing in my belly was a bit sudden, the joy after all outweighed the surprise.  Regarding the toilet logo, Chen Xu finally adopted Qiuyue's opinion. Apart from the difference between the headdress and skirt, the biggest difference from the modern toilet logo is the change of perspective - the silhouette, which looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side. No one can mistake this.  Come on.  More than 200 public restrooms sprouted up overnight. When the people affected by the disaster in Huaxian County figured out that these were not houses but huts, their disappointment was written on their faces.  If shit and peeing can't be solved, is there any need to make such a big show of it?  There is something wrong with the imperial envoy's mind, they thought in private.  Of course, I want to think about it.  The imperial envoy, who had a problem with his mind, called a meeting. No matter the clan leaders or the chief security officer of each clan, they did not dare to delay for a moment.  He rushed over in a hurry.  Huaxian County is just a county. In terms of prosperity, it is not even as prosperous as the current poverty-stricken towns.  Especially after the disaster, it was even more devastated.  The land was sparsely populated and the transportation was extremely inconvenient. Taking this into consideration, Chen Xu set the meeting time at the end of noon and the beginning of the afternoon. According to modern timekeeping habits, it was around one o'clock in the afternoon.  What surprised Chen Xu was that at the beginning of the hour, people were basically due.  The imperial envoys had orders, and they did not dare to delay for a moment. Some of them set out in the early morning.  Hearing the whispers of these ragged refugees, Chen Xu sighed *********************************  ** "Fellow fellow citizens, I am Chen Xu, and I have come to rescue you with His Majesty the Emperor's will." Chen Xu did not use official language. He expressed condolences for the dead, sympathy for the living, and support for the aftermath of the disaster.  hope.  In his position, he plans his own affairs, and now he has also developed the ability to speak. After what he said, both Hongru and Baiding in the audience felt excited.  Next, Chen Xu talked about post-disaster reconstruction, which is also the issue that the people of Hua County are most concerned about.  Chen Xu had been thinking about this issue as early as when he heard about the earthquake.  Disaster relief, human and financial resources, both are indispensable.  Financial resources are backed by the imperial court and the China UnionPay, which may be a bit tense at the beginning, but just like a woman's career line, there will always be crowding; manpower is the least worrying and the most troublesome.  Anyone with common sense knows that during natural disasters, especially when food is in short supply, the people are restless. As long as a caring person is slightly instigated, they will turn into a mob, burning, killing and looting, and their behavior is even the same as that of bandits.  Of course Chen XuThey will allow this to happen. This is actually simple, just to let them have food to eat, clothing to wear, and something to do.  Organizing disaster victims and conducting standardized management is definitely a new force for post-disaster reconstruction work.  The representatives attending the meeting were overjoyed when they heard that the imperial court had rebuilt their home for them. But when Chen Xu said that the house was not given for free, the smiles on their faces froze.  Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. Everyone present understood this truth. They did not dare to talk to Chen Xu directly. They only expressed their dissatisfaction by whispering to each other.  Chen Xu saw all this and waved his hand to signal the villagers to be calm.  "I know that everyone is concerned about how to get housing. It's very simple. For families with financial resources, you can use money. The higher the bid, the bigger the house, the better. This is called "you get what you pay for". I don't think you will understand.  Have an opinion. " There has never been absolute egalitarianism in this world. The world of great harmony is just a fairy tale world in the minds of saints.  In fact, it is precisely because of the differences between classes and rich and poor that people living in them have the motivation to fight, and the society is wonderful because of this.  Chen Xu doesn¡¯t want to change this status quo, and he has no ability to change this status quo. He just wants to do his best to let everyone in the world compete fairly and let the proud people from poor families see hope.  "I also know that not all villagers can come up with money, but you don't have to worry. As long as you are willing to work hard and earn work points, the area of ????the house will be determined based on the number of work points in the future." "Sir, how to obtain work points?" Taiwan  After whispering for a while, their elected representative mustered up the courage to ask Chen Xu.  "Regarding this issue, I can tell you responsibly that the choice we uphold is fairness, getting paid according to work, and the more you work, the more you get." After a pause, Chen Xu added, "As for how to calculate work points, the court  A "Labor Law" will be introduced to ensure your rights and interests. ""Labor Law" is definitely a new word to the people of Dayan, although Chen Xu said it categorically.  But they listened with suspicion.  Chen Xu saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and he didn't explain much. The facts would prove everything.  "I would like to emphasize one point here, which is also a crucial point in the Labor Law. All workers in post-disaster reconstruction must be at least fourteen years old." In modern society, all workers under the age of eighteen are considered minors.  Dayan's eighteen-year-old threshold was obviously inappropriate. There were many people who started a family and started a business at the age of fifteen. He also considered for a long time before setting the fourteen-year-old threshold. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Chen Xu's words fell to the ground, and the whole audience was in an uproar.  They couldn't help but be nervous. The young man in the family, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was at the age where he could live in poverty.  If we don't let them go to work, wouldn't it mean that they are sitting on nothing?  "A century-old plan, education is the foundation, and I have decided to open a school. Under the age of fourteen, regardless of gender, all must go to the school to read and study" "Sir, do you really mean what you say?!" Chen Xu didn't finish his words.  An old man not far away stood up excitedly.  Reading and literacy is basically a luxury for the people at the lowest level in Dayan. Just because they are illiterate, their ancestors have been trapped in poverty for generations. If there is a scholar in the family, once he becomes successful, he will definitely be able to honor his ancestors. Chen Xu  It's just upper lip touching lower lip, but for them, this is the future.  "You are outrageous!" Chen Xu's guards scolded, it is simply unreasonable to question the Lord like this.  Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "Of course it's true." Chen Xu spoke categorically. He didn't expect that when he finished his words, more than half of the people present at the meeting bowed their heads.  The voice of Lord Qingtian echoed in his ears, and Chen Xu was filled with emotion. What he said today was definitely not a spur of the moment. He had been thinking about this issue for a long time.  Dayan is based on agriculture. Farmers are the most important part of society and the backbone of the country.  Peasants use their blood and sweat to feed the world's scholars, but they still have to endure endless exploitation by the scholars, that is, the rulers.  The common people supported the scholars, but the scholars enjoyed the privileges granted by the state. This could not but be said to be an abnormal era. However, both the rulers and the ruled felt that this was the normal state of society and was natural.  Chen Xu was unable to change this situation. Taking land annexation as an example, the fundamental reason was that scholars could be exempted from labor taxes. If Chen Xu really proposed to abolish the privileges of scholars in court, then he would be the common enemy of the entire scholar class.  , destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents, and what will greet him will be the most stimulating suppression from the scholars.  However, the country is in a precarious situation and has reached a point where reform is necessary.  Weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xu could only find another way.  After a major disaster, there must be great governance, and this is the moment of least resistance to push forward your own ideas.  Taking Hua County as an example, Chen Xu checked the situation in Hua County before the earthquake.Last year was a good year, but the taxes were less than half of what they were ten years ago. Chen Xu knew that this meant that more than half of the land had fallen into the name of the scholar class.  Although Chen Xu has won the favor of His Majesty, he does not think that he can seize food from the tiger's mouth, even though Hua County is in ruins.  What Chen Xu thinks about is organizing refugees and tenant farmers to form a new class - workers.  Chen Xu takes care of their three meals a day and allocates housing according to their work points. This is actually their salary.  According to Marx's theory, the difference between the labor value created by workers and their salary is the surplus value. Their surplus value is the house that Chen Xu plans to sell to the rich.  In order to maximize the residual value, Chen Xu decided to auction those houses in the future. Of course, he knew the shopping psychology of the rich: owners who are willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy a house don't care at all about paying another 10,000 yuan. Do you know what a successful person is?  Successful people always buy the most expensive ones, not the best ones!  Therefore, Chen Xu feels that his slogan in real estate is not to seek the best but to seek the most expensive.  (To be continued)
