Chapter 40: Phosphate Rock
Han Weiliang, Zhang Xianmo's classmate, when he was studying abroad, others studied medicine, law, military, politics and other majors, but he was more strange, and he actually went to learn the agricultural knowledge of Yueben, so that after returning to China, he repeatedly hit a wall because of professional problems.
Since Zhang Xianmo promised Chen Liqing to help Chen Liqing do 'big things', seeing that Chen Liqing's main focus was also on agriculture, he thought of this classmate and wrote a letter to call this classmate.
came just in time, Chen Liqing was already short of talents in this area, Han Weiliang came, it was a send-off in the snow, and Chen Liqing's family immediately welcomed him.
Originally, after Han Weiliang repeatedly hit a wall in the Qing Kingdom, he lost confidence and was ready to go home to grow some food with peace of mind, but he didn't think that Zhang Xianmo would call him over. At that time, when he knew that he wanted to come to a remote place like Guizhou to help an uneducated landlord, he also resisted.
However, due to Zhang Xianmo's strong invitation, he came with the mentality of giving it a try.
Who knows, after coming to this remote place, after seeing the grain grown by Chen Liqing's family, he was completely surprised and surprised. After the shock, he wanted to know how such a high-yield grain was grown. Chen Liqing naturally couldn't tell him honestly, so he racked his brains and thought of an excuse to keep Han Weiliang.
"This is natural, when Wei Liang was in Yueben, he was the first in learning this major, and even some teachers couldn't compare." Listening to Chen Liqing's approval, Zhang Xianmo's face was full of smug smiles.
"Well, I'm very lucky." Looking at Zhang Xianmo's self-satisfaction, Chen Liqing also sighed that he was lucky, and at the same time, he also felt fortunate that he recruited Zhang Xianmo first, otherwise he might not be able to find a talent like Han Weiliang.
"Okay, that's all for today's lesson, everyone can see and hear clearly, right?" After Chen Liqing and Zhang Xianmo talked in a low voice for a while, Han Weiliang finally patted the dirt on his hands and announced the end of the class.
"I can't hear clearly, teacher, can you talk about it again, especially the plastic film, and the fertilizer, what should we do if we don't have it?" The people who are listening to the lectures here are just ordinary farmers, although they have been taught on the spot, but the farmers' comprehension ability is still a little weak, and again, basically sixty percent of the farmers are not very clear.
This is not to blame our peasant brothers, who have been working hard all year round and have not received any decent education at all, and the more than 100 peasants who came here to attend the lectures were still relatively flexible peasants selected from the small branches of the peasant workers' unions in various villages.
Han Weiliang was the first to teach these nimble farmers, and then these farmers returned to their villages to organize other farmers to learn. Otherwise, if you have to teach such a large number of farmers to adapt to chemical fertilizers and plastic films, Chen Liqing and they will not be enough even if there are more people.
"Okay, I'll say it again. The plastic film and fertilizer are all produced by our company, and if you want to grow them yourself, you can spend money to buy them from our company. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can use the grain you grow as collateral first, and then use the harvested grain to pay off your debts......"
Han Weiliang didn't have any impatient expression, and when he heard all kinds of questions, he immediately took the trouble to explain them to everyone.
It took about half an hour for this explanation to be completed.
"Okay, let's go back and digest it, that's all I have to teach. After everyone went back to digest, at nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the leaders of the trade union branches in each village came to our company to receive radish and cabbage seeds, which can be planted. With the last farmer asking, after Han Weiliang announced the last news, this only agricultural lesson in the Great Qing Kingdom was over.
At the same time, he also turned his head to look at Chen Liqing and Zhang Xianmo.
"Hum, why are you here?" He walked over, unconcerned about the dirt in the ground.
"Why, can't you come to see your lecture from the president of our Korean trade union, is it possible that you still have to charge our tuition?" Zhang Xianmo seemed to be in a good mood and made a joke with this classmate.
"you!" Han Weiliang couldn't help but give Zhang Xianmo a punch.
"Tell me, what's going on?" After a few jokes, Han Weiliang didn't know Zhang Xianmo's arrangement, and asked again.
After the establishment of the company, all kinds of things came one after another, and there were more busy things, Zhang Xianmo was usually busy going home late, and Han Weiliang didn't believe that Zhang Xianmo would be bored to come to see him in class.
"Well, I know I can't hide it from you." Zhang Xianmo nodded with a wry smile, and then looked at Chen Liqing: "Ask Liqing, he is looking for you." ”
"Oh, Liqing, are you looking for me?" Only then did Han Weiliang set his eyes on Chen Liqing.
In fact, it's no wonder that Han Weiliang doesn't pay much attention to Chen Liqing, it's really that Chen Liqing is too young and easy to be ignored, plus Chen Liqing hasn't shown anything special in front of Han Weiliang, so he thinks that Chen Liqing is a student of Zhang Xianmo and a relatively precocious child.
was ignored by Han Weiliang like this, and Chen Liqing only smiled bitterly.
"That's right, Mr. Han, my second brother recently discovered a low point with a lot of phosphate rock, and he asked me to inform you and let you take a look, these phosphate rocks are not suitable for refining into simple phosphate fertilizer." Although helpless, Chen Liqing did not sell with Han Weiliang, and directly explained his intentions.
"What? Phosphorite! ”
It's just that as soon as his words fell, he felt his arms tighten, and then Han Weiliang said excitedly: "Tell me, where is the phosphate mine?" ”
It's no wonder that he was excited, he studied agriculture, and naturally knew the important role of phosphate fertilizer on crops, and the base fertilizer he just demonstrated to the farmers was actually made by Chen Liqing's fertilizer department of their agricultural products company, and the fertilizer efficiency was naturally not as good as that of professional phosphate fertilizer.
"This, this Teacher Han, it hurts, it hurts!" Chen Liqing never expected Han Weiliang to be so excited, and if he didn't check for a while, his little arm was pinched by Han Weiliang, and he couldn't help but scream.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, Xiaoqing, tell me, where is the phosphate mine? You don't know what the significance of phosphate ore is to my Great Qing Kingdom, if there is it, hundreds of millions of peasants in my Great Qing Kingdom may not starve! Han Weiliang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly released Chen Liqing.
But thinking of the important surname of phosphate rock, Han Weiliang couldn't help but be excited.
"Teacher Han, it's okay. The phosphate mine is not far from our Pingyue, and I just want to take you to see it when I come here. Chen Liqing rubbed his arm, glanced at Zhang Xianmo a little helplessly, and then stood on the ground and pointed directly to Pingyue: "Then the phosphate mine is over there." ”
Han Weiliang immediately looked over.
Chen Liqing naturally knows the importance of phosphate fertilizer for food crops, and although his super farm can help him get all kinds of excellent seeds, he does not dare to guarantee that these excellent seeds do not need nutrients to grow. Moreover, if he really gets the fertilizer industry up, he will make a lot of money just by selling fertilizer. Of course, phosphate rock is not only used in agriculture, some raw materials such as national fire prevention medicine, but also needs a large amount of phosphorus.
"Okay, Liqing, take me quickly!" Han Weiliang glanced at it, regardless of his fatigue, and pulled Chen Liqing to go to that place.
He is not only an agricultural expert, but also has some knowledge of minerals.
Chen Liqing was taken away by Han Weiliang like this, and before leaving, he glanced at Zhang Xianmo helplessly, and found that his teacher Zhang was also helpless.
Two hours later, Chen Liqing and the others arrived at the site of what he called the discovery of phosphate rock.
In fact, the discovery of phosphate rock is not so difficult, Guizhou is originally a province with large reserves of phosphate rock, the Pingyue area in the previous life, is the famous phosphorus capital of the country, and it is too easy to find a little open-pit phosphate rock around it. Chen Liqing had already taken the time to come here, and he was even more sure that there was phosphate ore in this place.
This place is called a horse farm, about ten kilometers away from Pingyue County, the traffic is naturally not very convenient, Chen Liqing they found that it is a phosphate mine, only a road that barely leads to people.
Clang! Clang!
At the foot of the mountain, I saw Han Weiliang knocking on the dug stone with a hoe.
The stone crumbled easily, and some small black lumps were scattered on the ground, which was phosphate rock, and it was of surprisingly good quality, mixed with only a small amount of calcium carbonate and other impurities.
"This phosphate rock, the quality is so good!" After Han Weiliang felt the hardness of the phosphate rock powder with his hand, he couldn't help but call out again in surprise.
At this time, China's mineral development was just beginning, and there were relatively few mines in isolated places like Guizhou. So the amount of most minerals is naturally better. But so what, with the less advanced industry of this era, good phosphate rock will also be wasted.
"Teacher, how's it going? The phosphate rock here can be used to make simple phosphate fertilizer, right? Chen Liqing doesn't know much about phosphate rock, but he just needs to know that phosphate rock is not troublesome to make hemp, and it is not easy.
Han Weiliang's originally happy face couldn't help frowning a little when he heard this, he didn't answer, but looked around.
"It's so good that it can be made, but the transportation in this place is inconvenient, and it's a little difficult to transport it out?" Han Weiliang frowned, there were mountains everywhere, and phosphate fertilizer could be made, but it would be difficult to transport phosphate ore.
"That's right." Chen Liqing also looked around, and immediately frowned.
If you want to get rich, you really have to build roads first.
