As one of the first old courtiers to follow Marin, and a medieval college student, Heider was both excited and justified by the news of his appointment as Archenburg's court minister. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, Marin has long been cultivating him as a preparatory prime minister. It's just that Jeffrey is still there, and he's doing a good job, and Marlin has no reason to replace Jeffrey with Hyder. It just so happened that Marin took control of the Earl of Oldenburg and simply sent Heider to be prime minister.

But before he left for Oldenburg, Heider approached Marin and asked Marin to transfer a number of manpower to the Earl of Oldenburg with him and set up several fertilizer mills there.

As an old courtier who had followed Marin during his time on the island of Texel, Heider certainly knew the secret of the high grain production of the East Friesian Lambeth. It is nothing more than processing manure into fertilizer, and then the grain is harvested.

However, knowing that Haider, as well as a group of old courtiers who followed Marin at the earliest, did not know how to process fertilizer.

Marlin is also shrewd, and after months of drying and air-drying the manure, the feces are almost odorless. Moreover, the processed fertilizer block does not burn the seedlings. If the manure is applied directly into the field, it is easy to burn the seedlings.

In fact, Haider and other old courtiers actually tried to directly apply manure as fertilizer to the fields in private. But as a result, the seedlings were burned and yellowed......

Even if some experiments were successful, the effect would not be as good as the compound fertilizer produced by the fertilizer processing plant controlled by Marin himself. After all, the fertilizer produced by the fertilizer processing plant contains not only manure, but also potash and apatite. Of course, in the early days when Ayoune's apatite mines were not obtained, Marin added fish bones left over from fishermen's killing, or fishmeal from dried and unpalatable fish. It's just that collecting bones and fishmeal is too much work. After obtaining Laayoune, Marin directly added apatite.

However, because of the good secrecy, only Kohler knew that the fertilizer contained potash and apatite. Because, the potash mines in the Harz Mountains and the apatite mines in Laayoune were all mined and transported by him. As for the others, even Schwartz, they can't understand the real secret of fertilizer.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Frenzberg, who has actually worked for the emperor, has never given up Marin and directly thrown himself into the arms of the emperor. Because, his fiefdom in Lyre County also needs fertilizer supplied by Marin's fertilizer factory.

Frenzberg had planned to switch to the Emperor's side completely, but in the manor given to him by the Emperor, he found that the seedlings were burned after experimenting with the direct use of manure. Moreover, even in some fields that did not burn seedlings, the yield per mu was only about 200 pounds, which was more than half the yield per mu of the estate in the East Friesian Lamb Country. Therefore, he didn't think about breaking away from Marin completely. As a reward, Marin also sends a batch of compound fertilizer in sacks every year for use on Frenzberg's estate in the Duchy of Tyrol in western Austria.

……

Heider is now in charge of the palace at Oldenburg, so he naturally hopes to produce results. Moreover, if the farmland of Oldenburg does not use compound fertilizers, the yield per mu will definitely be as low as before. For this reason, before going to work, he specially asked Marin to send a veteran serf craftsman to collect the manure of the Oldenburg Count and make fertilizer with a "secret method". In this way, the farmland of Oldenburg will also be harvested, and he, as the prime minister, will have more money and food to use, and his political performance will be better.

Marin was also shocked to hear Haider's request - he almost forgot that the Earl of Oldenburg and the Duchy of Schleswig, including the Jävre region, had not yet established a fertilizer processing plant......

Therefore, he hurriedly transferred 1,000 serfs from the 3,000 serfs responsible for making fertilizer in the six major fertilizer processing plants under his personal control, and sent them to the Earl of Oldenburg, the Jävre region and the Duchy of Schleswig to build 20 fertilizer processing plants directly under his leadership.

Although there are only 50 people in each fertilizer processing plant, it is a little less, but the fertilizer processing technology is not difficult. These 50 veterans can take apprentices and bring hundreds of honest local serfs as apprentices to form a new fertilizer processing plant.

In fact, now is the right time to set up a new fertilizer processing plant. Because, after collecting the manure and drying it in the sun, it takes several months to dissipate most of the fecal odor in the manure block.

It just so happens that this year's crops in the Earl of Oldenburg, the Jävre region and the Duchy of Schleswig are not catching up. Because, it won't be long before the autumn harvest begins. However, a few months later, when the first batch of fertilizer was made, just in time for spring planting in March and April next year, it was not wrong at all.

By next spring, when a compound fertilizer mixed with potash and apatite is used, the Earl of Oldenburg and the Duchy of Schleswig will also be full of grain next autumn. When the time comes, those new lands will be able to attract more immigrants.

However, if 20 new fertilizer farms are built, of course, Marin will not issue an order saying that I will build a fertilizer processing plant. In that case, it would be easy for other countries to find out about the secret, and they might join forces to force Marin to hand over the fertilizer secret.

In the case of public affairs, Marin will issue a decree under the pretext of personal and environmental hygiene, enforcing residents to prohibit open defecation. Toilets are mandatory if needed.

To this end, Marin decreed that there should be at least one public toilet in every street in every city of the three princely states!

In every neighborhood in the city, a large public toilet will also be built. At the same time, the Oriental style of toilets was promoted in the city, requiring people to go to the public toilet during the day and use the toilet at night, and the feces from the toilet were poured into the manure tank of the public toilet the next morning.

Moreover, every morning, when the city gate is opened, the people of the fertilizer processing plant will arrange for ox carts to come and use large wooden barrels to pull the feces from the public toilet out of the city and send it to the large manure tank of the fertilizer factory.

The large manure tank is used to collect nitrate, and after these manures are sent to multiple large manure tanks, one month later, the soil on the edge of the manure tank will be taken to extract soil nitrate. The manure, after the nitrate had been cultivated, would be shoveled away and placed in another pond to be mixed with the potash and apatite sent by Kohler's men. After stirring, it is immediately dried and then exposed to the sun to become a hard manure mass.

The compound blocks are then sent into a rain shelter to be air-dried to remove the smell of manure. After a few months, the manure blocks no longer smelled like they stinted and became a mysterious fertilizer that no one knew. At the current level of science and technology, the discipline of chemistry has not yet developed. Even if this fertilizer is stolen, no one else will understand what it is......

The outside of the fertilizer factory is guarded by soldiers loyal to Marin, and a tall city wall is built to protect the secrets of the fertilizer factory. If the fertilizer field is besieged by the enemy, in the absence of hope, these soldiers will directly kill all the serfs who make compound fertilizer in the fertilizer field to keep it a secret. And those soldiers stationed in the fertilizer field are not allowed to inquire about the secrets of fertilizer processing. In this way, even if the fertilizer field is taken down, there will be no secrets.

In addition to ordering the construction of a large number of public toilets in the cities, Marin also ordered the construction of public toilets in the downwind of the manors to collect excrement. Of course, the name is still for "personal and environmental hygiene"......

When Marin ordered the construction of public toilets in the Earl of Oldenburg and the Duchy of Schleswig, and promoted the use of toilets, all the uninformed people were confused - you Marin himself loves cleanliness, and no one is allowed to defecate in the open? The tube is too wide, right?

Marin, however, made a strong rule - any adult found to have defecated in the open was fined 1 pfennig......

At this time, the average person's daily salary is only 2 pfennig. A fine of 1 pfennig is equivalent to half a day's wages for a person. No one wants to pay such a high fine...... Therefore, many people can only choose to give in......

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of opposition from the church, Marin would have planned to build public baths in every district. Along the way, Marin discovered that the people of the Duchy of Schleswig and the Earl of Oldenburg also did not like to bathe.

However, not bathing was advocated by the people of the church, and Marin did not dare to advocate bathing openly. Otherwise, it will be considered heretical. Only when his father-in-law became pope would he dare to promote public baths in his own country.

As for now, Marin and Angela are leading by example and bathing frequently. In doing so, at least his courtiers and subordinates will compete to imitate him. Over the years, the people of East Friesian Lamber have become accustomed to taking hot baths frequently.

Especially those nobles and soldiers, if they don't take a bath and stink, Marlin will directly express his disgust for them. In such an environment, those nobles, officials, and soldiers in the army gradually developed a good habit of bathing.

As for the newly controlled Duchy of Schleswig and Earl of Oldenburg, there is no hurry, let's take our time. However, the large-scale construction of toilets will not touch the sensitive nerves of the church, but can be done in a big way. In this way, it is also convenient for the collection and processing of manure......

Among them, after the manure was collected, the first round was used to extract nitrate, which was also a deliberate decision of Marin. During the last siege of Copenhagen, in the end, Marin did not order hundreds of artillery pieces to bombard the city walls together, but was reluctant to consume gunpowder.

Because, Marin's current gunpowder is mainly made from saltpeter purchased from India. And the fleet goes to India, it takes nearly two years to go back and forth, which is too inconvenient.

Therefore, Marin ordered an additional process to extract nitrate at the fertilizer processing plant. In this way, he was also able to obtain a lot of earth nitrate every year, which was used in the preparation of gunpowder.

Only with enough gunpowder can the army under Marin's command be able to confidently and boldly use the line of shooting and artillery bombardment. Otherwise, the consumption of gunpowder alone would make Marin's advanced tactics infeasible......

In addition, Marin will also set up a large number of nitrate collectors in the Duchy of Schleswig and the Earl of Oldenburg, who are responsible for collecting nitrate near the toilets of the people, stables and cattle sheds, so as to increase the source of gunpowder......
