Chapter 325 an ocean makes the soil barren

Paris throws twenty-five million francs a year into the ocean. This is not a rhetorical metaphor.How to throw it, and in what way?Day and night.For what purpose?No purpose.What is the purpose?Never considered it.Why do you want to do this?Do nothing.Through what organ?through its bowels.What are its intestines?That is its sewer. Twenty-five million is the lowest round estimate from a professional point of view. After a long period of exploration, science has now known that the fertilizer with the highest fertilizer efficiency is human fertilizer.The Chinese, it's a shame to say, knew it before we did.No Chinese farmer—this is what Egbo said—goes to the city without carrying two buckets full of what we call dirt on a bamboo pole.Thanks to human fat, the land of China is still as vibrant as it was in the days of Abraham.In China's wheat harvest, one seed can harvest 120 times as much wheat.No guano is as efficient a fertilizer as the capital's rubbish.A large city has extremely efficient manure.Use the city to fertilize the fields, and it will surely succeed.If our gold is excrement, on the contrary, our excrement is gold.

How do we deal with our golden excrement?We pour it into the abyss. We spend vast sums sending fleets to the Antarctic to collect the droppings of petrels and penguins while the incalculable enrichment factors at hand flow into the oceans.If the human and animal manure lost in the world is returned to the land and not thrown into the water, it will be enough to feed and clothe the whole world. Those rubbish heaps at the corners of these walls, those carloads of mud that jolt along the road in the middle of the night, those disgusting scavenger carts, those stinky sludge that flows underground under the cover of paving stones, do you know what it is?This is the flowering pasture, the green meadow, the mint, the thyme, the sage, the game, the livestock, the contented mooing of the great bulls at night, the fragrant hay, the golden wheat. Spike is the bread on your table, the blood in your veins, health, happiness and life.The mysterious Creator wants to make the earth change endlessly and the sky change and deform.

Return these to the cauldron, from which you will reap a bountiful harvest, and the nourishment from the plains will be turned into food for mankind. You can throw away these riches and still think I'm ridiculous.This is a complete display of your ignorance. According to statistical calculations, France alone pours 500,000,000 francs from its rivers into the Atlantic every year.Note that with these 500 million francs we can cover a quarter of the state budget.But people are so clever that they would rather throw the five hundred million into the ditch.It is the nourishment of the people that feeds our sewers drop by drop into the rivers, and makes the rivers pour into the sea in large quantities.Every choke in the gutter costs a thousand francs.This has two consequences: the soil is poor and the rivers are polluted.Famine comes from the fields, disease from the rivers.

For example, everyone knows that the Thames now poisons London. As for Paris, most of the sewer exits have recently been relocated under the last bridge downstream. A two-pipe device, with a valve and a discharge gate, through which water is drawn in and out.A very simple system of drainage, as simple as the lungs of a man, has been employed in great numbers in several parts of England, and has brought the clear streams of the fields into the cities, and the rich waters of the cities into the fields.This kind of coming and going, the simplest thing in the world, can keep the 500 million francs thrown away, but people think about other things.

The current practice is to do good things but do bad things.The motives are good, but the consequences are bad.They think they are making the city clean, but in fact they are making the people weary, and the drains are being used irrationally.Once this kind of sewer that only washes and debilitates vitality is replaced by a drainage system that has two functions, absorbing and returning, and coupled with a new socio-economic system, then the output of the field can increase tenfold , the problem of poverty will be greatly alleviated.Coupled with the elimination of various parasites, the problem will be solved.

Currently, public wealth flows into the river.The leaks continued.Leakage is the right word, and Europe is bankrupted by this drain. As for France, whose figures we have mentioned just now, Paris now accounts for one twenty-fifth of the country's population, and the dung drains in Paris are the richest of all gutters, so in France, it is estimated that out of the 500 million discarded every year The loss of 25 million in Paris is still an underestimated figure.The twenty-five millions that would have enriched Paris if spent on relief and enjoyment, but the city spends it in the sewers.So we can say that the greatest extravagance of Paris, its marvelous festivals, the carnivals of the Bojon, its feasts, its extravagance, its splendor, its extravagance, its splendor, are its sewers.

In this way, a blind and poor political economy deprives the public welfare, drains it, and sinks it in the abyss.For the wealth of the public, the net of Santa Cruz should be used. Economically, the matter can be summed up like this: Paris is a leaky basket. Paris, the model city, the model of all capitals of quality, every nation tries to emulate it, this ideal capital, this majestic source of pioneering and advancing experiments, this spiritual center, this city-state, this city that creates the future The site, which combines Babylon and Corinth, would make a Fukien peasant shrug his shoulders and laugh at what we have pointed out.

Copy Paris and it will bankrupt you. Moreover, and especially in this immemorial and irrational profligacy, Paris itself imitated others. These amazing incompetences are nothing new!This is not just the folly of modern times.The ancients did the same thing as today.Liebig once said: "The sewers of Rome swallowed up the welfare of the Roman peasants." When the Roman countryside was destroyed by the sewers of Rome, Rome exhausted Italy.After it threw Italy into the gutter, it threw Sicily into it, and then into Sardinia and Africa.The sewers of Rome sucked in the whole world, this sewer flooded the city and the whole world.The city of Rome is all over the world.It is an immortal city, a bottomless pit.

In these matters as in others, Rome played an original role. Paris, with the stupidity inherent in all cities of culture, followed this example. Because of the process we have just explained, Paris has another Paris beneath it, a Paris of the sewers, with its roads, its crossroads, its squares, its dead-ends, its arteries, and its circulation of sludge, Just missing the human form. For, flatter nothing, nothing flatters, there is everything here, there is something magnificent, there is also a side that is dishonorable; if Paris has the light of Athens, the power of Tyre, the morality of Sparta, Nineveh The genius of the city, but it also has the sludge of Lydes.

Moreover, the imprint of its power is here too, the great squalid aqueduct of Paris, and of all the great buildings this strange type is embodied by several figures of humanity, such as Machiavelli, Bacon, and Mirabeau. , are all shamefully great. If the sight could be seen through the road, the subterranean of Paris would have taken the shape of a gigantic stony coral, no more sponge-holed than the narrow passages and ducts beneath the six-mile-long clod on which the great old city stands. Much, not counting the Catacombs - which is another kind of cellar, not counting the tangle of gas pipes, not counting the vast system of potable water pipes all the way to the taps, just the sewers themselves under the banks of the river A dark webway is formed, and the slope is the leading route of this labyrinth.

Here, amidst the damp smoke, great rats arose, as Paris gave birth.
