C3668 (2/2)

Not only was it the shame of defeat, it was also the strong contrast brought about by the fact that Xiao Letian had been in power for half a year.

Five years had passed, and no matter if it was the citizens or officials, it was as if they had forgotten about everything that had happened at that time. Of course, it was not that they had forgotten, but that no one dared to mention it, not even a single word!

In that period of time, the price of the capital rice had actually been pushed down to a 40 liter hike. It was already lower than it was when the dryad was at its peak.

During that time, Xiao Letian gave the order to rebuild the sulcus longus, and completely transformed the smelly ditch on the east side of the Heaven Altar into a brand-new street that was used for business. The increased value of the land and the rent of the shops made a lot of people rich.

And the red cuff s that people could not forget!

After Xiao Letian entered the city, he ordered the entire city to be swept clean. In an entire month, all of the rubbish and dirt that had been piled up since the end of Ming Dynasty and the two hundred years ago were all cleaned up.

Clear water gushed out of the Ming Dynasty's stone roads, all the smelly mud in sulcus longus was also transported out of the city.

What do I need them for? Just a single word, scolding!

You dare to spit on the ground? A bunch of old ladies surrounded you and called you their ancestors!

You dare to throw garbage here? Your grandfather can make them live from their graves!

You dare to urinate on the spot? Forget it, don't live anymore. Even if you are a High Scholar, these old women with small legs and the Manchu's aunts can rip off your underpants!

If I don't pay a fine, I'll curse until you completely repent from the soul. In the future, you won't dare to not talk about hygiene anymore!

Just that period of time could be said to be the cleanest time for Qing Dynasty for the past 200 years. The air was fresh and sweet, so don't worry about stepping on dog shit when walking.

The walls were white and the ground was paved with stone. Why was the human heart so clear!

However, everything came to an end right after Xiao Letian left the capital. The Manchu would definitely not maintain the rule set by Xiao Letian, the price of rice had slowly risen again, and no one was giving food to the red cuff anymore.

In merely five years, Beijing had returned to his original appearance as a trash heap, as dirty and ignorant as the common people!

But today, because of the heavy task of welcoming the guests, Shuntian Palace was under too much pressure. The Old Prefecture Overseer Jiang Qisheng was almost back to his village to retire, so what was there to be afraid of?

He summoned up his courage and went to the memorial, requesting the capital to restore the hygiene system from that year and the red cuff to be restored. Otherwise, it would be impossible to purge the entire city within two days.

Never would they have thought that this imperial report would not receive any difficulties, and empress dowagers, including Prince Kung, had all voted in favour of it!

That evening, countless red cuff from five years ago had received the summons to assemble. These women held the newly brought red cuff in their hands one after another, and tears of excitement rolled down their faces.

”Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as our red cuff exists, we will return a clean Beijing!”

”Sisters! Let's go out and scold! Designate the districts to carry out their duties and clear out the entire city! ”

No matter if you are a noble or a merchant, as long as you are not a hygienic person, there would be no one who is not afraid when they see her.

At that time, the entire Beijing exclaimed, ”Oh my god!” That year, the red cuff Tigress under the command of the Prime Minister had returned … Hurry up and run, go home and clean up! ”

”We can't scold them!” You can't afford to offend them! ”
