After clearing up his mind, Yang Shanlu started to take action... He said that a lot of cattle and sheep bones are needed, but he is not talking about fun, but is really ready to develop a new product! And compared to Baihualu, which can only be enjoyed, it is more beneficial to the country and the people.
In simple terms, what he needs to do is a kind of fertilizer, which is a compound fertilizer made from cattle and sheep bones, which is commonly known as bone meal.
The reason why Yangshanlu made this kind of bone meal is because of its powerful effect. The fertilizer made by this kind of soil method is not complicated, but the fertilizer effect is very strong. Even in the later generations of chemical fertilizers, many rural areas If you are still using it, you can know its power.
And Yang Shanlu knows more clearly what it means to the common people to provide an efficient fertilizer during the disastrous Little Ice Age!
Take the wheat harvest at Xiaoqiangpu as an example. The yield per mu reached 100 catties of wheat. At this time, Daming was already a good harvest. There was no slack in everything from watering and fertilizing. But if it is compared with the 700 to 900 jin per mu in later generations, it is not worth mentioning.
Although there are many influencing factors, Yang Shanlu is confident that if he uses the compound fertilizer he developed, the yield per mu can be doubled!
Double... This data is not only of great significance for Zhenkoubao under the reign of Yang Shanlu, but also of great significance for the entire Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to doubling the effective land area... This is useful for alleviating the disaster in the Little Ice Age. Needless to say what is the meaning...
Of course, the preparation of bone meal still requires some skills. Among them, there are raw bone meal and cooked bone meal. What Yang Shanlu needs to do is cooked bone meal.
The reason for cooking cooked bone meal is that cooked bone meal has a relatively better fertilizer efficiency and the production technology is more complicated, so that others cannot steal the master.
The so-called dry-and-do, this kind of complexity is no problem for Yang Shanlu. Soon, Yang Shanlu designed the equipment for refining cooked bone meal.
After another day, a simple refining equipment has been completed. Although it looks ugly, Yang Shanlu pursues pragmatism and can use it.
As for the future processing site, Yang Shanlu found a large yard in Zhenkoubao. After all, the output of this thing will be very large in the future, and it needs to be considered in advance.
After doing this, everything was ready and everything was owed. On the second day, Wuyunna sent someone to deliver more than 1,000 catties of beef and sheep bones, and this was only the first time, she made people say so. Clearly, as long as needed, tens of thousands of catties can be delivered the next day.
As for Yang Shanlu, of course, Han Xin ordered the soldiers, and the more the better. After he took the bones of cattle and sheep, he began to refine it with Liu Dabangma.
As far as the refined cooked bone meal is concerned, the process is not bad. After two hours, all the more than 1,000 catties of beef and sheep bones will be processed.
"Brother Yang, are these really useful?" When these cattle and sheep bones turned into gray powder, even the simple and honest like Liu Dabangmao couldn't help asking questions. He didn't understand at all. Don't chew the waste bones, are they as magical as Yang Shanlu said
Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it. He had seen the color of these bone meal, and after smelling it, he already knew that he had succeeded. Then he looked at Liu Dabangmai with an ignorant face and said with excitement: You can rest assured that the increase in grain production in the future will depend on it."
Then Yang Shanlu asked Liu Dabangmao to find some sturdy cloth bags, and filled the processed cooked bone meal into it. This can already be used as a high-efficiency fertilizer and applied to the field, and Yangshanlu returned it. Give it a resounding name-Feitianfen.
Of course, after the test is successful, Yang Shanlu will no longer be able to personally participate in the refinement. After all, as a defensive adult, what he needs to do is to coordinate the overall work.
Of course, Yang Shanlu is also very clear that the emergence of this epoch-making fertilizer is of great significance. In order to prevent the secrets from being discovered by profiteers, the confidentiality work still needs to be done.
Yang Shanlu is mainly based on the loyal and unsuspecting Liu Dabangma. In addition, among his auxiliary soldiers, he found six honest and reliable people to participate, and it is the old method. These six people are divided into three groups. The club is the commander, and each group is responsible for one-third of the process, so there is no need to worry about leaks.
After all the arrangements were made, Yang Shanlu was relieved, hehe, in the future, the processing workshop for producing fertilizer field powder will become a powerful engine for increasing grain production!
And next, Yang Shanlu is waiting for the silver sent by Zhou Chang. Now the town of Zhenkou Fort is waiting to be revived, it is the time when blood transfusion is urgently needed...
The charm of Baihualu was not covered. On the second day, Liu Dabangma came to report: "Brother Yang, the businessman from Tianjin Wei is here again, and he also brought two large carriages."
"Really—" Yang Shan laughed when he heard it, and said that Cao Cao had arrived, and now the problem of the silver couple has been resolved.
Soon, when Zhou Chang, who was in the dust, entered the Qianhu official hall and saw Yang Shanlu, he said excitedly: "Master Yang, I am coming!" Then he pointed to the two big carriages: "My lord, you I brought all the ten thousand taels of silver that I asked for."
Yang Shanlu looked at the deep traces that were rolled out by the two large carriages along the way, and smiled with satisfaction, ha ha, this is another cash flow, and it is still 10,000 taels at a time...
Of course, this was also requested by Yang Shanlu, even if Baihualu was sold at a high price of 20 taels per bottle, according to the monthly output, it was 6000 taels of silver. But now, Yang Shanlu directly asked Zhou Chang to call 1 Million! And Zhou Chang has no room for objection... This is the benefit of mastering the source of sales.
After sending someone to count the silver pieces, Yang Shanlu said to Zhou Chang: "This time you will take away 50 bottles of Hundred Flower Dew. You must know that in order to make these Hundred Flower Dew, these days are so busy. We will decide on one in the future. By law, you pick up the goods every 10 days, 100 bottles each time."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Chang got the 50 bottles of Hundred Flower Dew and smiled until his eyes were narrowed. This is what the defensive master said is a win-win.
"In addition, all you paid this time were cash. After you get the grain in the future, you have to pay 30% of the grain. Don't forget."
"Don't worry—" Zhou Chang just nodded again and again. This is an important condition for maintaining the transaction. How could he forget it.
After Zhou Chang got 50 bottles of Hundred Flower Dew, he hurriedly prepared to leave, but Yang Shanlu stopped him: "By the way, did you say that your hometown is Jiangzhou last time?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Zhou Chang asked suspiciously.
"Then do you know a literati named Han Yun? He should be quite famous in the local area."
"Han Yun? Are you talking about Han Yun from Jishan County, Jiangzhou, the one who has made a name for himself?" Zhou Chang is indeed a trader who travels north and south, and he knows a lot of people.
"Yes, it's him." Yang Shanlu just smiled: "Since you know him, can you bring him a message after you go back? I admire him very much. Would you like to invite him to work in the castle? Still not bad. Position."
"Okay, I'll bring this for you." Zhou Chang quickly agreed in a big way. Anyway, for him, it was a matter of bringing a sentence, and he felt that as Yang Shanlu, he wanted to solicit this. Han Yun's words are fine.
After Zhou Chang left, Yang Shanlu smiled with satisfaction, not to mention that with these 10,000 taels of silver, all kinds of stagnant production can start again, and this Han Yun is more worthy of being invited. It's a stroke of magic!
After all, this is very obvious. If you want to vigorously develop agriculture, it is better to need a talented person who specializes in this area, and this Han Yun is a well-deserved talent in agriculture.
Of course, when it comes to Han Yun, everyone is not necessarily familiar with it, but when it comes to his teacher, he is very famous—that is, Xu Guangqi, a famous scientist in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Guangqi intensively studied agriculture, sericulture, animal husbandry and many other aspects, and wrote the masterpiece "Nongzheng Quanshu" handed down for generations. This Han Yun is one of his four major disciples. In this regard, he has very deep attainments.
So after Yang Shanlu remembered this man, he couldn't wait to bring him in. Such a talent was left unused. Isn't it a waste? And now he has 70,000 mu of land under his jurisdiction. After he is brought in, it will be useful...
Ten days later, Zhou Chang sent another person to pick up the goods, and this time, they also brought another person.
After Yang Shanlu got the news, he was also very happy. It seems that Han Yun, who was waiting for the couch, is here!
Yang Shanlu immediately summoned them to the Qianhu Official Hall, and then he saw the man brought by the caravan.
This is a middle-aged man, nearly 40 years old, wearing a black rimmed straight jacket and a net scarf on his head. He is obviously a man of merit.
What makes Yang Shanlu even more concerned is that this person is different from ordinary scholars. His complexion is a little darkened by the sun, and his shoes are stained with dirt. Obviously, he is a person who often goes down to the fields.
At this time, the middle-aged man saw Yang Shanlu wearing an official gown of a thousand households and was looking at him with a smile. He had predicted that this was the person who had summoned him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Jiang Han Lin, a member of the prefecture, has met an adult."
"Uh... Han Lin?" Yang Shanlu's smile froze on his face. It was Han Yun that he wanted to invite. Why is Han Lin here now
It was the owner of the caravan on the side, and when he saw it, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Hehe, my lord, after returning to Jiangzhou according to your instructions, we went to see Master Han Yun (the folks generally call Juren the Master). Unexpectedly, Han Master has gone to the north to become an official, but Master Han's younger brother Han Lin is at home. He was also very interested when he found out, so he just came over."
"That's right—" Han Lin said sincerely at this time: "I heard that adults need talents in agriculture, and students are not talented, but they have done some research, so they just recommended themselves." After that, he looked at Yang Shan eagerly. Lu, I look forward to Yang Shanlu's words, so stay.
But after Yang Shanlu listened, he didn’t express his opinion. How can I say that Han Lin has also heard of this. Like his brother Han Yun, he is Xu Guangqi’s entry-level disciple, and he is quite accomplished in agriculture. Worthy of being an agricultural expert.
Yang Shanlu has some minor doubts about his personal integrity...
According to the original historical development, another nine years later, in the 16th year of the precarious Chongzhen, this famous literati in Shanxi was also hired as a pre-military painting by Li Jiantai of the Governor's Pavilion, stationed in Taiyuan, against the Dashun Army.
But a month later, Taiyuan had not yet captured, he had already slipped away from the army early, surrendered Li Zicheng, and changed his court. Compared with Xia Wanchun, Zhang Huangyan and others who graciously went to death in times of crisis, and the loyal scholars who co-existed and died in Ming Dynasty, it seemed to be apostasy.
After all, the literati at that time paid attention to the word integrity! The so-called three hundred years of Da Ming's nourishment is today! But this Han Lin’s performance...
So now, can people like this come to take refuge? Can it be used? (End of this chapter)
