Chapter 73 Chemical Industry and the Environment

When Emperor Jing got the statistics of all the mu yield of the orphanage's official field, he was a little crazy, the average yield per mu of the official field was more than three stones, and the ten acres of experimental land was close to four stones. The yield per mu of those ten paddy fields has steadily surpassed that of Sishi, and even through the fish farming in the Nalaoshzi rice field, nearly 1,000 live fish have been harvested.

Chemical fertilizer! Emperor Jing's eyes were red, like a bull in estrus, with a long-distance running speed that he had never had in his life, he ran all the way from the Yang Palace to the study of the prince/palace, picked up Liu Che's collar, and kept shaking and roaring: "I want to open a fertilizer workshop!" Open a hundred fertilizer workshops for me at once! ……”

Liu Che was like a doll, hanging in the air and swaying back and forth, dizzy, his face pale, and he almost fainted. Emperor Jing's personal guards found that the prince was almost gone, but they didn't say anything to stop it, they were dead soldiers, they only protected Emperor Jing's safety, and the lives of others were not in their consideration at all. Even if Liu Che was the future emperor, he couldn't let them open Chrysostom. It wasn't until the palm seal eunuch Sun Quan panted and chased here that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop this tragedy, otherwise Liu Che would probably become the heir to the throne who died the most aggrieved death in history.

Vomit! Liu Che lay on the ground and retched, and after a long time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the emperor's father with an embarrassed face. Seeing that Emperor Jing's gaze was a little evasive, Liu Che pointed at Sang and scolded Huai with an angry face: "Sun Quan! How do you do palm print eunuchs?! Can't even catch up with my father?! If you arrive a few more moments late, the lonely king will die in Huangquan! ”

Of course, Sun Quan understood that the prince was not really scolding him, and lowered his head and stepped aside without saying a word, but from the constantly trembling brows and shrugged shoulders, it could be seen that he was trying to hold back a smile.

Ahem! Emperor Jing coughed twice dissatisfied, and said casually: "If it's okay, I'll get it up!" Look at how you look like a prince! ”

Liu Che was dumbfounded, and he was slandered in his heart: You can't be so shameless as an emperor, right? But Dad, how can you look like an emperor? Of course, if you give him a hundred guts, you won't dare to declare it. Otherwise, once Emperor Jing becomes angry, he will lie on the bed and sing about the chrysanthemum.

Liu Che could only get up slowly, slumped on the chair next to him regardless of etiquette. He will never sit upright, and in the ten years since he was reborn, he has not been accustomed to kneeling in the Han Dynasty, which is too much of a test for his knees. Emperor Jing glanced at him, didn't say anything, and tacitly agreed not to sit on the felt seat, but to sit on the chair at the top, after all, he couldn't let his son Gao Laozi be not.

The two were speechless for a long time, and Emperor Jing, who was a little unreasonable, had to take the lead in breaking the silence: "When does the emperor plan to build more fertilizer workshops?" ”

Liu Che rarely saw that the emperor's father was soft, and most of his anger disappeared, he shook his head and said: "Father, don't be anxious, no matter how many fertilizer workshops are built, it is useless, and the output of sulfuric acid cannot keep up." ”

Emperor Jing didn't get the answer he wanted, frowned, and waved his big hand: "Then build more Nalaoshizi sulfuric acid workshop, the emperor doesn't have to worry a lot, such a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people, who dares to restrain him at will, this big man can't tolerate him!" ”

Liu Che's head is full of black lines, and his father really inherited Gao Zu's ruffianism, don't look at Ping Yue's gentle and frugal appearance, but once he is in a hurry, he tears off the mask of hypocrisy, and kills people without blinking. Of course, he can also understand Emperor Jing's feelings. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, commerce was not very developed, and more than ninety percent of the taxes were paid from the field tax. Chemical fertilizer can increase the yield per mu by more than 50%, which is equivalent to the so-called GDP growth of nearly 50% out of thin air in later generations. Once realized, Liufang Baishi is a certainty.

Understanding is understanding, but Liu Che is not a god, so he had to say helplessly: "It's not that Erchen doesn't want to build a sulfuric acid workshop immediately, it's just that this sulfuric acid workshop needs a lot of water and land, and it can't be solved for a while. ”

When Emperor Jing heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, and then built a sulfuric acid workshop in winter, so that the output of chemical fertilizer, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with spring ploughing, and then wondered: "Even if you need water, why not build it directly by the river?" Now that the eight rivers are around Chang'an, are you afraid that you can't find a place? ”

When Liu Che heard this, his face was flustered, and he waved his hand again and again: "No!" Never! ”

As a master of chemical engineering in later generations, Liu Che understands too well that the chemical industry has damaged the ecological environment, which will not only pollute the river water, but also pollute the groundwater. That's why all the pools and canals in his sulphuric acid workshop in Shaofu had to be tiled, and although it could not be 100% stopped, it was still to be avoided as much as possible.

In addition to the chemical industry, up to now, Liu Che has also figured out the production of coke, steel smelting and other highly polluting industries, before he is sure of the complete control of environmental pollution, many technologies he has to firmly control in his hands, will not spread to the people. He didn't want the Han Empire to have the chimneys and smoke that it had seen during Western industrialization. Later generations of New China were forced to choose the development model of pollution first and then treatment, and the whole people paid a very painful price for this. Liu Che would rather reduce the speed of development appropriately than allow this kind of thing to happen in the Han Empire.

Seeing Emperor Jing's displeased face, Liu Che thought for a moment and explained: "Father, when making this sulfuric acid, some poison will be produced, if it flows into the water source, after people and animals drink it, it will be very harmful, and it will be bad for the country!" ”

Emperor Jing was a little unconvinced, and asked: "Since sulfuric acid will produce poison, why can the chemical fertilizer made of it be applied to the field, isn't the emperor worried about producing poisonous grains?" ”

Liu Che was speechless, not knowing how to explain this complex chemical principle, so he had to deceive against his will: "My father is wise, so the amount of chemical fertilizer must also be controlled, just like aconite is used in medicine, an appropriate amount can cure diseases, and an excessive amount is murderous, which is a truth." ”

Emperor Jing thought for a moment, nodded as if he didn't understand, and said quietly: "Emperor, tell me about the disadvantages of that poison." ”

Seeing that his attitude had softened slightly, Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly embellished some of the accidents that had occurred in chemical leaks in later generations, trying to completely dispel Emperor Jingdi's intention to establish a chemical workshop.

Emperor Jing listened carefully while nodding, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Emperor, you just said that the chlorine gas of that Laoshi can kill thousands of people in an instant?" If you get some of them and suddenly release them when you are fighting with the Huns, wouldn't you be able to wipe them out without spending a single soldier? ”

When Liu Che heard this, his heart was cold, the emperor's mind was really ruthless, his feelings were dry, he was all useless, Emperor Jing's real purpose was not to know the harm of poison at all, but to figure out the effect of poison. Liu Che secretly scolded his mouth for being too big and underestimating the wisdom and belligerent surname of the Han people. Just hearing the poisonous surname of chemicals, you can think of using chemical weapons, you really want to know the power of nuclear energy, and you won't force Liu Che to build a nuclear bomb, right?

Liu Che thought for a moment, and tried his best to explain in words that Emperor Jing could understand: "Father's idea is indeed good, but it can't be done for the time being. This chlorine gas is like water vapor, erratic, extremely difficult to preserve, and if you want to kill thousands of people, you may need to put tens of thousands of clay pots on the battlefield. Only by turning the chlorine gas into a liquid state like water vapor can it be transported in large quantities, but now there is no way to do it for the time being. ”

Emperor Jing suddenly realized that although he didn't understand science, he still had basic common sense of life, and he could probably understand Liu Che's meaning, and said with some loss: "If that's the case, it's a pity." ”

Seeing this, Liu Che hurriedly brought the topic back: "Since my father already knows the dangers of poisons, can he hand over the matter of the sulfuric acid workshop and the fertilizer workshop to his son?" The retainers will certainly not delay the farming. ”

Emperor Jing hesitated for a moment, he knew that if he followed Liu Che's meaning, the output of this fertilizer would definitely be much slower, and the quantity would not be too much, so he was a little unwilling: "If it is left to you, how much fertilizer can be supplied in the coming year?" ”

Liu Che calculated a little in his heart, and said confidently: "It can supply all the fields in the seven counties of the Gyeonggi Division." ”

Emperor Jing was stunned when he heard this, obviously such a huge output was much beyond his expectations, and suddenly came to his senses: "What the emperor said is true? Do you know that there are tens of millions of acres of farmland in the seven counties, and if you burn forests and reclaim wasteland, you can get more! ”

"The son naturally knows that as long as the father agrees to the son's request, the son guarantees that the fertilizer supplied to the Gyeonggi farmland in the coming year will not be used."

Emperor Jing squinted his eyes and motioned for Liu Che to continue.

"The son of the emperor implores his father to promise that the forest will no longer be burned in Gyeonggi, and the mountain closure order and logging ban will be implemented in the upper reaches of the waters!" Liu Che's face was solemn, and he stood up solemnly and bowed. He really didn't want to see Gyeonggi Province, which is now rich in water and grass and dense vegetation, turn into the Loess Plateau for future generations. Even if the entire Han people do not understand his actions, he will rely on strong political means to implement environmental protection.

Seeing that he said solemnly, Emperor Jing couldn't help but pay a little attention to it. In the eyes of Emperor Jing, Liu Che has always been a lazy son with his surname, and it is rare to see his such persistent side. Emperor Jing knew that he would never be untargeted, and he must have a reason to do it. He thought seriously for a moment and hesitated: "I can agree, but this wealthy and powerful family has many fiefdoms, and as soon as the mountain closure order and logging ban order come out, I am afraid that the court will make waves again." It's your imperial grandmother, I'm afraid it's hard to agree. ”

Liu Che said with a strange smile on his face: "Father doesn't need to worry, you need to know that the fertilizer is still in our hands, and the sons only guarantee the supply of fertilizer from the official field, and if you want the private land, not everyone can buy it. Besides, the money needed to build the workshop will have to fall on their heads......"

Emperor Jing looked at his shameless face and nodded with satisfaction, expressing his extreme appreciation.

(Whew, I made up for my sleep, and my spirit was much better.) I have to go to the company to test the equipment tonight, so there is a chapter at nine o'clock in the evening, and there can be a more chapter in the early morning, which should be more than 3,000 words, and I will strive for a total of 10,000 more. )
