Chapter 526: Luo Zhang's Decision

Two days later, the grain was dried, and Luo Zhang and his son worked hard to carry the load of millet to the granary in the hall, although they were half tired to death, but their hearts were full of joy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a calculation, Luo Zhang's was pleasantly surprised to find that the millet produced by his 7 acres of paddy fields was 33 stones, and the average rice produced per mu of rice was 4 stones and 7 buckets.

Luo Zhang is really overjoyed! She wasn't a peasant woman on her first day, so she knew what the harvest meant.

Even the most skilled farmer, who planted the best and fattest high-quality fields, could not produce such a harvest. What's more, she is a half-baked peasant woman?

Luo Zhang can now be 100% sure that this is the credit of that holy fertilizer.

Sure enough, two neighbors in the village came to her with a happy face and asked: "Sister-in-law of the Luo family, your family's rice grew so well at the beginning, how many stones per acre did you calculate in the end?" ”

"Thanks to you, it looks like four stones and one acre." Luo Zhang didn't dare to tell the truth, and lowered it a little.

"Hey, how is it similar to the one in my field? My family has 12 acres of paddy fields and 50 stone millet. Your family's rice grows so much better than mine, why is it only 4 stone per acre, strange! The neighbor looked incredulous.

"Your family has collected so much grain?" Luo Zhang knew in his heart that the harvest of the paddy fields in his neighborhoods was also good because he also sprinkled holy fertilizer later, but he sowed it once less than himself, so his yield was not as high as his own. It seems that this holy fertilizer is really the key to determining grain production.

After the neighbors left, Luo Zhang's looked at the grain piled up in the entire granary, remembered his three sons who died young, and was both happy and sad, hugging his son and crying: "Ji'er, if only our family had so much grain a few years ago, your three elder brothers would not have died!" ”

Her son Luo Yunji was brought by her, and he also cried.

Luo Zhang remembered that his three poor sons, as well as his nephews and nieces, were all sick because of perennial starvation, yellow and thin muscles, but they had no money for treatment and died, as well as his concubine and sister-in-law who starved to death, and even he almost didn't survive, so he felt sad.

"Ji'er, you have to remember that in the past, our Luo family was poor, and more than ten people died of starvation and illness one after another in a few years, who caused it? My mother always thought it was caused by God. Natural disasters are all predestined? Not really! These are all caused by the Manchu government that only knows how to oppress the people, collect taxes and grain, but do nothing! Luo Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

When she saw her son's still immature face, she wiped away her son's tears and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the sad things before." Today is a great event, our family has harvested so much food, and we will never worry about starving again in the future. Ji'er, you have met a good dynasty, a good official mansion of the Holy Kingdom. ”

That night, Luo Zhang's tossed and turned, and she had insomnia!

Thinking of the tragic life experiences since marrying into the Luo family, and then last year, the so-called Cantonese thieves drove away the Manchu officers and soldiers, including their own men, and included the Xiangxiang area into the scope of the Holy Country, which has changed dramatically. She had insomnia.

She is not blind, she is good and bad, she is like the people in the village, she can tell the difference very clearly. Especially after the establishment of the township office, the entire Shanqing Township has completely changed.

When his son Luo Yunji was sick with a high fever and was most helpless, it was the township office that sent his son to the township infirmary and saved his son's life;

Although her family's land and wealth were confiscated because of her man's relationship, when her family had no rice to cook, the township office sent food to help the suffering, and returned her family's paddy field to her, and also helped her family cultivate the field and plant seedlings;

When her seedlings did not grow and she was anxious, the township office sent someone to send holy fertilizer to make her seedlings grow better than others;

When her family couldn't get busy, it was still the township office that helped her work, regardless of pay.

The human heart is made of flesh.

What people do to themselves, and how do their own men treat others. Luo Zhang felt ashamed in his heart. At this moment, she really couldn't sleep.

A person who is used to being poor and starving suddenly has the feeling of more than 30 stone grains, which is something that others cannot understand. Only Luo Zhang's family understands the preciousness of these grains! Only these home-grown grains, and the grains that will be available every year in the future, will make her feel at ease!

She suddenly figured it out, now that she can collect so much food and live a stable life, isn't it exactly the life she and her man want? He was able to harvest so much grain only under the rule of the Holy Kingdom. This kind of life can only be possessed by relying on this township office and this holy country!

In this way, he is actually a citizen of the Holy Kingdom.

The township office has helped me so much, and I have to do something for them!

Well, that's it!

Tomorrow, I will take some grain to the township and sell it, and then go to the township office, not only to pay back the money I owe for the first two times to buy holy fertilizer, but also to find Township Chief Yang and tell him that as long as they spare their own men, I am willing to cooperate with them and persuade my men to return to the holy country. Even if you don't return to the Holy Kingdom, at least you can't work for that anymore, you must let the man be by your side and live this harmonious and happy life.

After making a decision, Luo Zhang's smiled and fell asleep.

……

At the same time, at the foot of Qibao Mountain in Liuyang County, Changsha Prefecture, a large phosphate fertilizer plant is in full swing, producing phosphate fertilizer day and night.

This phosphate fertilizer factory, named Liuyang Phosphate Fertilizer Factory, is by far the largest phosphate fertilizer factory in the Holy Kingdom.

At the foot of Qibao Mountain, in the crushing yard of the Liuyang Phosphate Fertilizer Factory, the ten stone crushers that crushed phosphate rock ordered from the No. 1 Machinery Factory of Nanyang Company were trembling and shaking under the drive of the steam engine, crushing the large pieces of phosphate rock that had just been mined from the mountain.

Liu Changyou, deputy minister of agriculture of the Shengwang Palace, stood in front of this row of crushers, looking at the roaring crushers driven by the steam engine, and his heart was full of emotion.

Liu Changyou is a cautious and conservative person. He never imagined that according to the recipe of this phosphate fertilizer that the Holy King took from the foreigners, these black phosphate fertilizers produced would have such a surprising effect!

He has verified that in the few acres of paddy fields on the outskirts of Liuyang County, the difference between those who have sprinkled this kind of phosphate fertilizer and those who have not sprinkled phosphate fertilizer is so big: the amount of rice per mu in paddy fields that have been applied with phosphate fertilizer can easily reach more than 4 stones per mu, which is less than 3 stones and more than half of the yield of paddy fields that continue to use human and animal manure without phosphate fertilizer.

Only then did he realize that he used to look down on foreigners, think they were barbarians, and think that everything about his ancestors was the best, how wrong this idea was!

No wonder the Holy King always said that in this era, science and technology are the primary productive forces! What foreigners have learned is the science and technology of poor reason, and now the Chinese Celestial Empire is no longer restored, the world is bigger, beyond the imagination of the ancestors, and the strength of foreigners is also beyond their imagination.

Seeing these smashing machines that were driven by steam engines and smashing wildly, Liu Changyou somewhat understood why these things made by foreigners were appreciated by the Holy King.

With a hammer down, in a breath, several basin-sized pieces of phosphate rock turned into crumbles, and if this was to be smashed by man, it would take a strong labor force to smash it for a morning. That's a huge gap.

And, the point is, who would have thought that God would be so miraculous that this gray stone picked from the mountain, smashed and mixed with some other stones, and after being burned to ashes, it became a fertilizer that can make the crops go crazy! It's unimaginable!

Originally, the best way to grow crops was manure, even if it was fire-burned soil compost, it was inferior, but I didn't expect that this best manure was simply manure compared to this phosphate fertilizer that can be burned on a large scale, and it was really worthless manure.

The reason why I came to this Liuyang phosphate fertilizer factory is because this plant has the largest output, accounting for almost one-third of the output of the entire holy country. You must know that now there are 16 phosphate fertilizer factories in more than 10 state capitals in the Holy Kingdom, and there are still many phosphate fertilizer plants being built in many places where phosphate ore has been found.
