With such a huge amount of money, the three village heads agreed that it must be easy to build the public bathhouse, canteen, and washroom.
The villagers could also work on the construction site to earn some copper coins.
But when it came to the locations of the bathhouse, washroom, and canteen, the three village heads immediately broke up!
It was a huge amount of money. No matter which village these three buildings were built in, that village would make a fortune.
After all, the Montaire mineral company only required three villages to build these facilities.
As for the cost, there was no specific requirement.
A fool wouldn't demand an exorbitant price.
It didn't matter to sell a square foot of land for 50 silver coins?!
The three village heads had a quarrel for the whole night, but they didn't decide where these buildings should be built.
Until the second day.
The group of noble men gathered together again, and they quarreled fiercely until their faces turned red. Even the crows could not bear their noise and fled the village.
The noble men of the three villages finally made a decision. The public bathhouse was built on the east side of the stone arch bridge, which was within the boundary of the Upper River Village.
The canteen of the mineral company's employees was located on the west side of the stone arch bridge, which was within the boundary of the West Village.
As for the public washroom, it was built in the middle of the stone arch bridge!
In the center of the stone arch bridge, there was a sculpture, which covered a large area.
They agreed that the sculpture would be pulled down because of its no use.
The public washroom then can be built in the middle of the stone arch bridge, where the sculpture originally stood.
In this way, East Village suffered losses. Without occupying the land of East Village, East Village could not get any money.
Therefore, the noble men of the three villages agreed to give Upper River Village and West Village a reasonable compensation.
After the three buildings were completed, the remaining money would be equally distributed among the three villages.
But this seemingly good proposal was immediately objected by West Village.
Because there were more people in West Village.
West Village proposed to distribute the remaining money according to the population.
However, the proposal was immediately strongly rejected by Upper River Village, because Upper River Village's population was the least among the three villages.
The three villages were noisy, and they didn't come up with the most effective allocation.
Seeing that the time limit set by Mr. Schroder was getting closer and closer, they had no choice but to compromise and reach an agreement.
After the compensation for occupying the land and the construction funds were deducted, 100 silver coins would be first given to West Village.
Then the remaining money would be equally divided among the three villages.
At this moment, the noble men and villagers of the three villages were truly happy!
For a moment, the three villages were in harmony.
Even when they passed by, the villagers who had to glare at each other fiercely suddenly became good friends, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
They met each other on the road and didn't forget to salute each other.
But it didn't last long.
When the construction team, which was organized by the blacksmith Lokun, began to work, they found that there was an unsolvable problem.
Before Mr. Schroder left, he repeatedly reminded that the washroom should be flushed!
A washroom that could flush water?
In the three villages, only Lord Phaya and Mr. Mong Kong had seen this kind of washroom when they went to the city.
It was said that Lord Phaya and Mr. Mong Kong had even squatted in such a high-class washroom in person.
But even so, the two knowledgeable men didn't know how to build such a washroom that could flush water.
After all, no one could open the toilet to see how the water was flushed down there.
"Saipan!"
"Saipan!"
He was sorting out his things in the bridge hole.
After all, the weather was getting colder and colder.
He had to save some money and buy a thicker winter coat.
Otherwise, the chilly river wind would freeze him to ice.
"Saipan! Saipan! Come out now! "
Mr. Lokun leaned on the railing of the stone bridge and roared at the bridge hole, "After the high-class washroom is completed, your job is to maintain it. This is your job. Come and help me."
Saipan put aside his work and climbed up the bridge skillfully.
The blacksmith Lokun slapped on the back of his head.
He scolded, "Toilet flushing is required in the washroom. You have to find out how to realize it!"
I can wash the barrel.
I can clean the washroom.
But I don't know how to build a washroom, especially such a high-class one!
Looking at the livid face of Lokun, he didn't dare to say no.
He was so experienced in dealing with this situation!
In the three villages, if any villager in a bad mood encountered Saipan, Saipan would definitely have bad luck.
Sometimes he would be scolded and sometimes he would be slapped.
Among the three villages, the only one who had never bullied him and treated him well was the daughter of the gardener in East Village, Nina.
Nina was about the same age as Saipan.
But because the gardener was fond of drinking, he took all the money he earned to drink, so his family was very poor,
Nina's face always looked pale, looking mal-developed.
"Oh!" Saipan answered.
No matter whether he could do it or not, he knew clearly that if he didn't agree to the order Lokun now, he would definitely be thrown into the river by raging Lokun!
Although he was used to being beaten by others.
But since he could dodge the attack in front of him, Saipan could choose to hide first.
A washroom that could flush water?
He had never seen it before.
However, it was not difficult for him.
He ran to the blacksmith's shop and borrowed a hollow iron pipe. Then he went back to his bridge hole and carefully thought it over.
It was impossible to use a straight iron pipe.
In that case, the stink under the toilet would go up.
A switch in the iron pipe?
No way.
The iron pipe was easy to rust, and the switch would break soon.
At that time, it would be a big trouble for him to repair the toilet!
Slowly, it occurred to him that sometimes he would use the reed pipe to absorb water and catch fish and shrimps when he played by the river.
He bent the long reed pipe so that water could flow through it, but air couldn't.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved!
He finally found a solution to this big trouble.
If the iron pipe is easy to rust, then let's use the expensive copper pipe! Anyway, Mr. Lokun didn't require cost control and material selection.
It seemed that Mr. Lokun couldn't beat him this time!
Thinking that he could avoid a severe beating again, Saipan pulled over the tattered quilt and tightly covered his head and body.
He fell asleep in the roar of the river breeze.
