Chapter 33: This Is Fertilizer!
PS, sorry for the late update, ask for a ticket, ask for a ticket, this recommended ticket is really bleak!
……
These things, Zhang Ran naturally couldn't tell Wang Changtian and Lu Yan.
He refused to say, and Lu Yan Wang Changtian didn't dare to ask more, but when he saw Zhang Ran's expression that the old god seemed to be under control, he had a little bottom in his heart, and then asked: "Captain, the village chiefs of several villages in Qianping Village, Shijiagou, asked me to ask you, can the nitrate water boiled out be boiled on the spot, and the nitrate water is transported to our village to be boiled, which is too far away, and it takes a lot of labor to waste!" ”
"No, you have to bring it all over for me - take care of the food, don't let them do it in vain!" Zhang Ran said without hesitation.
Lu Yan Wang Changtian had an expression on his face, didn't you take off your pants and fart.
Boiling nitrate on the spot, and boiling nitrate here, are the same thing - where to boil nitrate, isn't it all nitrate from Dafu?
But Zhang Ran can't do it.
This looks like the middle of April, about to the season of high-speed crop production, at this time to fertilize, can greatly improve the yield of grain, and then late top dressing, the effect will be greatly reduced!
But Zhang Ran promised the villagers about the trial of chemical fertilizer, but there was not even a shadow!
This is also what Zhang Ran expected, after all, if the fertilizer is so easy to make, it would have been made all over the world a long time ago, so why wait until now?
From the very beginning, Zhang Ran had already decided to try chemical fertilizer and replace it with nitrate - otherwise, he would not have let every village organize nitrate.
Black powder was a substitute, and he didn't need to do that much.
The chemical composition of nitrate water is similar to that of fertilizer, and there are many advantages that will not cause land compaction, although the fertility can not keep up with the fertilizer of later generations, but the effect of farm fertilizer in this era is really not known to be higher!
Therefore, using salt water to pretend to be chemical fertilizer for the people to try and fulfill their promises, and at the same time, at the same time, the hearts of these big households such as Ma Chengbang - these guys promised to cooperate, but they didn't move for a long time, aren't they just waiting for him to come up with a trial fertilizer?
If he can't come up with a trial fertilizer, not only will the people feel that his words are unreliable, but Ma Chengbang and other big households who promised to pay for grain will also immediately change their hexagrams, and the impact on the base area may be devastating!
But there are too many people who know that nitrate water is an excellent fertilizer, and using this to pretend to be a fertilizer will definitely not be able to deceive the people and Ma Chengbang and others.
But as long as the villages are allowed to transport the nitrate back, everyone thinks that the detachment uses the nitrate to boil the nitrate, and Zhang Ran will process the nitrate water again, and hand it over to the ordinary people and Ma Chengbang and other big households for trial, and temporarily pass the test, it should not be a big problem!
In the later stage, when the copper mine was put into operation, as soon as the ammonia and sulfuric acid came out, the problem of chemical fertilizer was solved!
A load of nitrate water was continuously transported from various villages into the cave where Mao Zuan and others boiled nitrate, and the air was filled with the strange smell of boiling nitrate, which was extremely pungent.
Mao Drill was very excited, and said that there is so much nitrate, so how much nitrate must be boiled.
After the nitrate water from the villages was transported, Wang Laogui led twenty soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to completely block the valley where the cave was located, and no one was allowed to enter, as for Zhang Ran, accompanied by the guard Wang Wenping, he secretly went out of the village, and came back in two or three days, and no one knew where he went.
The sun has been shining for several days, and Zhang Ran's plan has been implemented perfectly.
The crops in the fields are growing wildly in the sun, but because of the lack of fertility, the plants appear to be extremely thin.
The village chiefs of various villages, as well as Ma Chengbang and others, have sent people over to ask Wang Changtian and Lu Yan when the fertilizer that Zhang Ran promised to try out for everyone will be distributed, and if it is a few days late, it will not be able to catch up with the season of top dressing.
"It's almost over, everyone wait, Captain Zhang, they are trying to make fertilizer, and as soon as the fertilizer is produced in a few days, we will notify everyone immediately!"
Wang Changtian and Lu Yan comforted, and then looked at the valley with a sad face, the villagers of Yanggou Village didn't know what the situation of this fertilizer was, but how could these two backbones not know the truth.
After dark that night, Zhang Ran sent Wang Kai to find Wang Changtian, and organized the backbone of the village and more than 50 people from the Eighth Route Army, who had become mud figures, to carry back countless black and fine soil things from the mountains overnight.
It is said to be a fine soil surface, but it exudes a pungent smell, like the arrival of nitrate, but it is mixed with the smell of human and animal feces.
"This is fertilizer?"
Not to mention the people sent by the landlords and the village chiefs and villagers of various villages, even the villagers of Yanggou Village are beating drums in their hearts.
"This is chemical fertilizer, the first batch of real production, the equipment is not enough, the process is not good, let everyone laugh!"
Zhang Ran looked at the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, but he said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can take it back and try it, whether the effect is good or not, who knows who uses it!" ”
"Then let's try!"
Regardless of whether this thing is a real fertilizer or not, even if the nitrate water is mixed with the soil surface, the effect of topdressing is definitely good.
Zhang Ran introduced the dosage and usage of this chemical fertilizer: "One acre of land, can not be more, more will burn the seedlings, no matter how little fertility is insufficient, it will not produce enough effect - it is best to sprinkle fertilizer in the ground before it rains, or it is to water the ground after sprinkling fertilizer......
"Remember, remember!"
The advanced elements of the backbone of the villages who came to carry the fertilizer and the people sent by the landlords such as Ma Chengbang shouted, and then left one after another.
"Captain, can this be done?"
Wang Changtian said with a weak heart: "Those landlords, aren't they so easy to fool......"
"Why can't it be?"
Zhang Ran said with an unfathomable smile on his face: "Isn't there Ma Chengbang here?" ”
Many landlords also gathered in the Ma family, and in front of them, it was Li Dakou and other long-term workers who carried back the so-called 'chemical fertilizer' with a strange smell.
"It's similar to the taste of saltwater - the one surnamed Zhang won't fool us with saltwater mixed with soil and farmyard fertilizer, right?" Many landlords.
"Let me see!"
Ma Chengbang approached the so-called fertilizers, took a deep snort, and said exaggeratedly: "That's the smell, this is the fertilizer!" ”
When many landlords heard this, they looked at Ma Chengbang suspiciously and said, "Master Ma, have you ever seen chemical fertilizer?" ”
"I haven't seen what chemical fertilizer is, but I've seen the fertilizer flour that the Japanese distributed to the people over there in puppet Manchuria - that fertilizer flour is this flavor!"
Ma Chengbang worshiped and gave a thumbs up fiercely: "But Captain Zhang's fertilizer is much better than the fertilizer powder, and the effect of top dressing must be better than the fertilizer powder, I don't know how many times - it is worthy of being produced by the Eighth Route Army, wow!" ”
"Really?"
Seeing Ma Chengbang praise so hard, many landlords who were beating drums in their hearts were suddenly happy, and laughed: "I'm still worried that the surnamed Zhang will deceive us with nitrate, and want to fool us into paying to take us as the big one, now it seems that this surnamed Zhang should really have two brushes - let's go back and try it, if it's really useful, let's immediately make up money and grain, so that the fertilizer plant can start as soon as possible!" ”
"That's that, if this fertilizer is produced on a large scale, not only can we use the boundaries of Yanggou Village, but we can also sell it outside, and when the time comes, we will have a lot of money!"
Ma Chengbang laughed, and instructed the landlords: "Zhang Ran told everyone about inquiring, everyone has to inquire quickly, if this fertilizer really works, but we are begging others, and if we don't do what people have to explain, I'm afraid that guy will have to make things difficult for us again - that guy is a dog-faced, and if he says that he will turn his face, he will turn his face......
"Don't worry, Master Ma, we'll all inquire!"
More than a dozen landlords said with a not stupid expression: "Guns, cannons, these things, we can really hear a lot, as well as the machines and talents he wants, we have also implemented some, if this fertilizer is really easy to use, then we will tell him all in one go, but if the fertilizer does not work, his surname Zhang will not think about it - now we have been eaten by him to death, if he has more guns and hard wings, we may have no room to bargain with him?" ”
"That's, in a word, what's the matter, let's discuss it, don't act rashly - now we're all grasshoppers tied to a rope!" Ma Chengbang said, and then personally sent everyone away.
"Uncle, isn't it a little unauthentic for us to do this?"
Ma Youtian asked, did he know that Zhang Ran secretly came in the middle of the night a while ago.
"Do you think Lao Tzu can't think of authenticity—what might be the solution?"
Ma Chengbang said with a bitter face: "That guy made it clear to me at the time, if I didn't cooperate with him, it would ruin his business, and he wouldn't move others, and he would be the first to take my Ma family and make an example of him......."
As for what Zhang Ran talked about at the time, it was expedient to use a mixture of nitrate and water to pretend to be a fertilizer this time, and he was 100% sure that the fertilizer plant would be able to start, and Ma Chengbang was in no mood to mention it.
Because now, he really can't believe Zhang Ran at all!
As he spoke, dark clouds were gathering in the sky, which was obviously a precursor to rain.
"Don't talk about this, hurry up and find a few pieces of land, scatter this thing in the field, our family has also watered the ground with nitrate, you pay attention, is this thing indeed more effective than pure nitrate!"
Ma Chengbang urged, and said that if this thing is really more effective than pure nitrate, maybe what Zhang Ran said will definitely cause the fertilizer factory to really not come out of nowhere, and if you want to face nitrate, then you really have to think of a way!
With such a big family business, it can't really be bad in your own hands, if you want that, you can't explain it to the ancestors of the Lao Ma family!
Ma Youtian hurriedly trotted to Zhang Luo, and at the same time felt sad in his heart, and said Uncle, what did you say at the beginning, did you forget? At the beginning, you said that he was Zhang Ran, and he could play him around with a toe, but now?
Being played with a toe, is it Uncle, how are you?
