I will present today's chapter without discipline and continue to ask for all kinds of support.

August 20, the sixth year of the Apocalypse.

Because of the relationship between the Xiaoice River period, the climate of the river is also considered to have four distinct seasons, which makes Li Shouhan, whose soul is a northerner, feel very comfortable, and a gust of autumn wind blows, and the air is filled with the smell of harvest.

Farmers began to weave baskets and trim barns in search of a place to settle for the rice to be harvested, and thousands of years of experience taught them that grain was a good thing at all times. Not to mention the current year of famine.

There is a fast mind, thinking about selling the rice harvested in the barn last year, and then changing it to some soil and fertilizer that the Han Yuan firm only pushed out last autumn, this thing is indeed good, just sprinkle it in the field, and the crops will grow very fast and strong.

According to the guy in the business, this thing is made of tea after the tea oil is extracted, and it is enough to sprinkle some per mu of paddy field, and the gentleman in charge of the promotion of agricultural technology also said that one mu of land should not exceed two catties (650 grams per catty in the Ming Dynasty, and 500 grams per catty of pig's feet, and now the standard for sprinkling urea is not more than one kilogram per mu.) This thing is sown too much, and it burns the seedlings to death.

Soil urea is also a product of "win-win cooperation" between Shouhan and all parties. The officials of Liangguang and their families are responsible for purchasing tea withered from all over the world, and the so-called teawither is the residue left after the oil is pressed from the wild camellia oil fruit. And the Mo family, who was entrenched in Gaoping and Laojie, found that the useless things under their feet could actually be exchanged for a large number of knives, guns, armor, and gunpowder. In Laojie, there are rich phosphate rock resources, these phosphate mines are all useless things in the eyes of the Mo family, I don't know how these Ming people in the south have their brains, and they actually want these things!

As everyone knows, for every 100 catties of soil and chemical fertilizer, 33 catties of tea withered, 33 catties of phosphate rock powder, 17 catties of human urine, and 17 catties of ammonium bicarbonate are needed. You say ammonium bicarbonate is hard to find? Says who? The method is: first mix the tea withered powder (the tea withered and finely sieved into powder) and human urine are mixed and sealed (covered with thin mud or plastic film) and fermented for 5 to 7 days, and then the pile is mixed and the phosphate rock powder is mixed well and continues to seal and pile for 7 days, and then mixed well with ammonium bicarbonate can be used. If you don't use it urgently, it is better to ferment for a longer time, and nitrogen fertilizer is best to be mixed and used, if it is not used up on the same day, it should be sealed to reduce the loss of non-benefit. Ammonium bicarbonate is the waste liquid left after making zuò saltpeter from feces mentioned earlier, and it is ammonium bicarbonate after crystallization.

After the joint production of the Han and Yuan Dynasty firms and chemical workshops, batches of chemical fertilizers made by the soil method were put on the agricultural materials counter of the firm.

The peasants are the most realistic, and if something can bring them tangible benefits, they enthusiastically support it, believe in it, and follow it. Its representatives are regarded as gods, not only to the students and teachers who are responsible for the promotion of new agricultural technologies, but also to the gentlemen and workers of the chemical workshop.

And Li Shouhan himself, who is regarded as a god by the gentlemen of the chemical workshop, is doing another thing in the mansion at the moment.

Today is the day when Shouhan and Yan Mei'er's daughter, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, turns one year old, according to traditional Chinese customs, on this day, a ceremony will be held for the child to catch the week, it is said that the direction and hobbies of the child's life can be seen.

In the kitchen, knives and spoons were rattled, and longevity noodles and wine banquets were prepared for the guests, and in the courtyard, there were already bamboo mats spread on the ground, and thin cushions made of cotton sewn were laid on the mats, and seals, books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food, toys, and scissors, rulers (sewing utensils), embroidery threads, and patterns (embroidery utensils) that girls might use.

"Look! That seal is the seal of the Ruan family. ”

"Whew! The kings of Champa and the kings of Zhenla have all been captured by me! ”

"You are all killing chickens and taking eggs, only me, in Siam, even moved back the chicken cage for the main male!"

Around the place where Zhou was captured, Wang Bao, Zhang Xiaohu, Zuo Tianpeng, Xu Huanshan and others pointed their fingers there, showing off their military exploits, and bragging about themselves in front of their colleagues.

Li Peilin, the chief historian on the side, looked at the group of martial artists in front of him with a smile, and boasted about his military exploits there, and took off the gold-shelled pocket watch from the placket, which Li Peiting bought for his brother from the Englishman Charlie, just to show that he was different.

"Lord, the hour is almost up, let's ask the eldest lady to come out! Don't miss the hour. ”

A burst of wind with clothes, accompanied by the fragrance of clothes and sideburns, surrounded by more than a dozen maids-in-law, today's protagonist Li Shouhan's eldest daughter named Erya, surrounded by her mother, two aunts (two sisters Mei Shan Shilin), and a prospective aunt (Li Xiuxiu), appeared in front of people with great momentum.

Shouhan watched as Yan Mei'er put her baby daughter on the cloth mat and let her daughter search among the many items. Seeing his daughter crawling between all kinds of items, Shouhan couldn't help but think of that day when Fu Bo told him to be exquisite.

If the child catches the seal, it is said that when he grows up, he will take advantage of the heavens and the ancestors, and the official fortune will be prosperous; If you grasp the stationery first, it is said that you will be studious when you grow up, and you will have a splendid article, and you will eventually be able to pay three yuan and the first; If the child grasps the abacus first, it means that he will grow up and be good at financial management in the future, and he will become a Taozhu career. If a girl grabs sewing utensils such as scissors and rulers or cooking utensils such as shovels and spoons, she is said to be good at housework when she grows up. Even if the child grabs food and toys first, it will be a blessed person when the child grows up. (Regarding the matter of catching Zhou, you can refer to the description of Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions, that guy grabbed some fat powder hairpin rings.) ）

However, Erya, who was dressed in a newly made brocade dress and embroidered jacket, only cared about crawling around on the cotton mat, having a good time, kicking the books out of the circle, throwing the wooden ruler aside, and frowning when she saw others.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the crowd, which attracted Erya's attention, and she blinked a pair of small black eyes, carefully looking in the direction where the sound came from.

However, it was two clerks from the workshop and the Craftsmen's Association, who came with a few people to bring Shouhan a model of a newly completed sail warship, two land guns, and a ship gun.

Seeing a gap in the crowd around him, and the gap seemed to be a better toy, Erya's eyes immediately fixed on the huge model of the sailboat and the model of the cannon that shone with a lovely metallic glow in the sun.

She stretched out her index finger and pointed to the two official slaves carrying models of ships and cannons, babbling at a loss of knowing what she was talking about.

Everyone looked in the direction of Erya's finger, and their eyes stayed on the very strange artillery.

The artillery model made of copper, with a short and thick barrel, the barrel is pointed obliquely into the air, and the kind of base that the civilians and soldiers present are familiar with can only fire different guns at a maximum elevation angle of 45 degrees, this model has a huge muzzle, and the gun body can be rocked up and down, shooting in a quadrant from 20 degrees to 70 degrees, such a gun has never been seen before.

The two official slaves saw that the young master kept pointing out the artillery model in his hand, and he was babbling words in his mouth, and he couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to deal with it, but Li Peiting on the side gave full play to his true colors at the critical moment.

"What are you standing there stunned! The eldest lady calls you over, and you just go over! ”

The two officials and slaves were a little at a loss and gently put the artillery model and the warship model in their hands on the cloth mat, and let the two girls play with joy there.

"What's that new cannon?" Zhang Xiaohu and Zuo Tianpeng, the two commanders of the left and right wings of the sailor, grabbed the main person in charge of the workshop, their faces were full of murderous energy, and they couldn't wait to immediately turn the ship model and artillery model into their own cars and sharp weapons in their hands.

Although the generals of the Lu camp next to him were not as ugly as these two guys, they were also looking at the head of the Craftsman Association in front of them, and wanted to ask him about the ugliness of the people.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, this is what the lord ordered us to do, and we only know some superficial knowledge, and we don't know anything else."

"Less nonsense! Tell us everything you know! ”

"Yes! The cannon is the one that the eldest lady is playing with now, and the lord calls it a mortar cannon, probably because its muzzle is like a stone mortar, so it is named. The caliber standard is 155 mm in inner diameter and 500 mm in barrel length, according to this size, if this thing is made of nine-turn steel, not counting the gun carriage, it should be around 150 catties. According to the following, if the firing range of this gun is compared to the standards of other artillery, at an elevation angle of 45 degrees, the firing range should be about 1,200 paces. ”

"The ship, it was the lord who asked me to make it, and he wanted to put it in the study as a daily pleasure to use, and we also discussed it together, such a big ship, to put it mildly, can't be built now, that is, we worked hard to build it, two adults, you see, the displacement is more than 3,000 tons, the carrying capacity is also more than 2,000 tons, the length of the ship is 67.8 meters, and the width of the ship is 15 meters. The ship is equipped with 3 masts, and the mainmast is 62.5 meters high. There are three artillery decks with more than 100 guns? and 2 mortars. It was calculated below that according to such a firepower configuration, the ship could fire a half-ton shell in one salvo. ”

Such a good boat, I heard the two guys who were reckless on the water scratching their ears and cheeks, "No! I have to tell the lord that even if I smash the pot and sell iron, Lao Tzu will not lead the army to pay the salary, and I must build this ship! ”

"Two adults, I also told my lord about this day." The director of the Craftsman Association pouted, "The lord said, it is naturally not easy to build such a ship, but it is not something that cannot be done, such as the thirty-pound heavy cannon on the ship, we can also cast it, but, on this ship, how many people do you need in each battle position to drive the ship, and all the artillery can afford to use it?" Later we calculated that it would take at least 850 men to handle the ship and operate all the artillery. Two adults, I would like to ask, can there be so many sailors and gunners under your command? ”

In a word, the two guys who said it suddenly turned into defeated roosters.

The head of the Craftsman Association gently let go of Zhang Xiaohu's hand on the placket of his clothes, and set his eyes on Erya not far away.

Erya, who was in the center of everyone's attention, was unaware of what was happening outside, holding the model of the giant sailboat with one hand, and holding the model of the mortar cannon high with the other, and the smile on her little face was extremely bright.

"This?!" Seeing that her daughter was a ship cannon in one hand and a mortar cannon in the other, Yan Mei'er suddenly lost her face, and she couldn't help but look at Shouhan, "Xianggong, do you want to do it again?" ”

"Huh!" Shouhan was a little disapproving, "My Nanzhong ship is strong and artillery, and both the water and land divisions can gain a foothold in this troubled era because of this, and my daughter can know the benefits of ship artillery, which is a good thing!" God gave it to me! ”

"Congratulations, my lord!"

"Congratulations, ma'am!"

The people present congratulated Shouhan and Yan Mei'er and his wife, and Shouhan was very proud to greet the people in the four places.

"Well, then! Xianggong, Erya is also one year old, do you think it's time to name her? You can't always call Erya, right?! ”

"Hehe, it's natural, what's the name of our daughter?!"

"Lord, my Li family genealogy, the eldest lady's generation should be a Chinese generation." Today is a more solemn occasion, and Fu Bo naturally can't call Shouhan's name in front of everyone, so he is a little suspicious of relying on the old and selling the old.

"Huazi?" Shouhan laughed wildly in his heart, looking at the happy baby daughter who was playing in front of him, he set his eyes on Yan Mei'er, "Mei'er, I don't know if you are taboo?" ”

On the same day, Li Shouhan sacrificed to the ancestral hall, informed the ancestors and ancestors, and solemnly left these words under his name on the family tree: eldest daughter, Li Huamei.

The matter of grasping the week has been completed, the sumptuous banquet is placed in the courtyard, and the guests who come to participate in the ceremony of catching the week are naturally happy to drink, guess the box, and beat the drum. Even the two masters of the Craftsmen's Association were feasting among the guests. Even the officials and slaves who followed the errands also arranged for wine and dinner to enjoy on the side.

For a time, the atmosphere in the house reached a joyful peak.

Right now.

The two intelligence leaders, Niu Qiandao and Muya Dog, hurriedly walked in.

"You've come just in time! Just two of you caught Zhou, you didn't catch up, just catch up when you drink! Shouhan grabbed the wine jug and was toasting with a few generals, and when he saw the hurried footsteps of the two people, he staggered up a little to meet them.

"Lord, my subordinates are one step late, and I can't catch up with the time of the eldest lady, and I hope to forgive my sins! However, there is an urgent military intelligence report from the subordinates! ”

Niu Qiandao hurriedly whispered a few words in Shouhan's ear.

"Really?!"

Niu Qiandao and Muya Dog nodded firmly, "Moreover, Li Muhua himself also fled south under the protection of our secret pile. You will arrive in Ha Tinh in a few days! ”

"Good!" Shouhan struggled to throw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, "Zheng is worried that there is no reason to find his bad luck, he sent it to the door himself!" ”

Shouhan walked to the table in a few steps, and slammed his hands on the edge of the table, and everyone saw a flower, Shouhan was already standing on the table, not caring about the oil soup and vegetable juice, and several generals hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Everyone! Fill this cup! Then go back and get ready! Thang Long! The Zheng family launched a mutiny and killed the emperor of the Li family, and we are going north to quell the chaos! ”
