After reading the commercial information of the capital, Zhu Youzhen carefully analyzed. The commercial system of the capital is relatively complete. There aren't many industries that you can get involved in.

In this era, the seven things necessary for the people's life to open the door, "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea", have all formed a small circle by default, and there are guilds as specific managers. Anyone who wants to enter rashly will inevitably be greatly excluded.

Similarly, "food, clothing, housing and transportation" also have their own groups. It doesn't matter if you just open a small shop, if you want to go up to a certain scale, you will definitely be squeezed out in various ways. Zhu Youzhen judged: "Well, when I have money in these industries, I can open a small shop to test the water." ”

After careful study, Zhu Youzhen found that there are two industries in the capital that have not really taken shape, and he will not be strongly hindered from entering the capital.

One is the entertainment industry. This industry is still dominated by Qinlou Chu Halls and other guild halls everywhere, and there is a serious lack of mass entertainment industry, and there is not even a small theater among the people. If mass entertainment is to be launched, there should not be much resistance.

The other is the fertilizer industry. The industry is simply blank. Now don't talk about chemical fertilizer, even farmhouse fertilizer is not collected now. Each family still relies on their own fertilizer. This is the saying that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. In a city as big as Beijing, there are at least one million people living in it, and how much farm fertilizer is produced every day. It should all be wasted by now.

I thought about it all over again. Zhu Youjian found that the most suitable industry for him to enter now is the fertilizer industry. Thinking of what was the 3 month fat and 5 grain fragrance all over the TV in his previous life, Zhu Youzhen shuddered himself. In the future, history will not record that he is the first generation of fertilizer kings, it doesn't seem to be very good. If it doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good, who calls this industry less resistance.

After all, the people who deal with domestic garbage in the capital are the lowest poor. These people have no power and no power, and they have no food and lodging, and it is best to buy them. Even if there are any underworld forces, they will definitely not be on the table, and cleaning them up should not cause an overreaction from all sides.

Making fertilizer is also very simple, but it is just a matter of mixing manure and crushed grass, piling it up, and covering it with soil. In his previous life, CCTV-9 introduced it, and he glanced at it. It takes a long time to make manure. If you want to hurry, it seems that you have to warm up. No matter what, it should be very simple, just find someone to try.

Zhu Youzhen said that he would do it, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Wang Chengen, Wang Mixing?" ”

"What does Your Highness command?" Wang Chengen quickly appeared in front of him.

"Let's go, accompany this king to the Huangzhuang." Zhu Youzhen ordered anxiously.

"This?" As soon as I heard that His Royal Highness had asked to go to the imperial village outside the city. Wang Chengen looked at His Royal Highness King Xin in embarrassment, not knowing how to persuade him.

Seeing Wang Chengen's embarrassed look, Zhu Youzhen noticed that it was almost dark, "That's it, let's go early tomorrow morning." He had no choice but to let Wang Chengen retreat, and waited for the next day to come.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen and Wang Chengen came to Huangzhuang accompanied by the guards. As soon as he entered the Zhuangzi, Zhu Youzhen commanded loudly: "The king mixes, go, you go and find the best crops in the Huangzhuang to this king." ”

"Yes" Wang Chengen did not dare to slack off, and immediately walked towards the village.

Soon, an old farmer with a dark complexion and a hunched back who looked like he was 5 or 60 years old, accompanied by the head of Huangzhuang, came to Zhu Youzhen.

It could be seen that the old peasant was a little uneasy, his head bowed, and his hands kept rubbing on the patched placket of his clothes. That is, he did not salute, nor spoke. The head of the village knelt down and kowtowed honestly.

After the head of the village kowtowed, he saw that the old farmer was still standing stupidly, his face changed greatly, and he was about to scold him with his mouth.

Seeing that Zhuangtou wanted to reprimand the old farmer, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop Zhuangtou. He grinned and said, "How old is the old man?" You don't have to be afraid, I'll ask you some farming questions. ”

The old farmer saw the brocade-clothed young man in front of him, and asked himself with a smile, he didn't have the frame of a big nobleman at all, and he was much less uneasy in his heart, and replied: "The little old man is 42 years old this year." ”

“42？” Zhu Youzhen looked at the old farmer's face full of wrinkles like elm bark, and he didn't believe it. He thought to himself, "Impossible, right? In his previous life, he was in his 40s and was in the prime of life, and this old farmer looked like he was in his 60s. No, people in their 60s in their previous lives were not as old as him. ”

The actual age and old appearance reported by the old farmer gave Zhu Youzhen the feeling that he saw Guo Degang and Lin Zhiying standing together in his previous life.

The old farmer saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to believe it and chased after him: "Little Lao'er was born in the ninth year of Wanli, and he is just 42 this year. There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Zhu Youzhen saw that he was no longer nervous, so he continued to ask: "Old, old man, you have done farm work for so many years, shall we fertilize the field now?" What kind of fertilizer are used? How much do you usually use? Zhu Youzhen felt a little awkward, this was the first time he called a 42-year-old an old man. But when he saw the old farmer's face, he couldn't think of any other name.

"Yes, why don't you use it." The old peasant was a little surprised to hear these questions from the nobleman, but these were the farm work he had done as an adult, and he didn't have to bother thinking about them. He opened his mouth and told him all about his experience.

After listening to the old peasant's account, Zhu Youzhen realized that although the current agriculture is called intensive farming, it is actually still in a very rough period. It is very different from the intensive cultivation mentioned in the previous life.

Zhu Youzhen's Huangzhuang should be regarded as a relatively high-level plantation in this era. But all kinds of agricultural tools in Huangzhuang are still incomplete, and a large number of farm work is still using manpower, but cattle ploughing is reluctantly. Fertilizer is reused, but it depends on how much fertilizer can be picked up in the farm and the surrounding area. The most used is plant ash. The fertility of the field is not enough, it cannot be planted year after year, and it must be cultivated in rotation. That is, every year some fields are not planted, let it recover on its own, and all the fields are cultivated in turn.

In this way, even if the land in Huangzhuang is well-watered, the yield per mu is about 2.5 stone (about 400 catties). The best year is less than 4 stones. Although the tenants of Huangzhuang do not have to pay land endowments, the rent is also extremely heavy. Although the old farmer didn't say it, he could see his dress and know that his family situation was relatively difficult.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the oily Zhuang Tou next to him, although his clothes were old, there were no obvious patches. There is a stark contrast between the appearance of the head of the village and the old farmer.

Zhu Youzhen knew that Huangzhuang's tax must have been corrupted by the head of the village, but he was not ready to pursue it. The main thing he needs now is to be with the light. There is a saying that the rafters that come out of the first rot first, and he is never ready to take the lead. He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and instead of greedy for money, he ran to preside over justice, isn't that looking for embarrassment.

Zhu Youzhen took out a silver bean and threw it to the old farmer, and said: "You said it well, reward you, you continue." ”

From the mouth of the old farmer, Zhu Youzhen made it clear that the current farmers already have the concept of fertilization and top dressing. It's just that there is a shortage of fertilizer sources and can't be applied on a large scale. Like this old farmer, he can make manure himself, but the scale is very small, and he has not formed a clear procedure and theory.
