Chapter 17 Heated Discussion in Society

"Zhiyuan is a lake!"

"Build China for the small peasant system, the land for the small landlord operators, no large-scale organization, foreigners have long wanted to carry out their aggressive ambitions, bitter no place to invest, so change course, a large number of fertile fields to powder, if the foreigner is the mastermind, then Zhiyuan is an accomplice, is an accomplice, but also a leader!"

"The imperialists' policy of disguised aggression at the outside and at home is even more powerful than Japan's hard-working methods! What is this policy? It is the promotion policy of chemical fertilizers! ”

In Sijiu City, in a courtyard somewhere, the conservative "old man" headed by Gu Hongming was sitting around the fire.

Liu Shipei rubbed his hands and said solemnly: "In my opinion, Cheng Zhiyuan is under the banner of revitalizing agriculture, attracting foreign capital and deducting some hard-earned money from the fingernails of the common people. ”

Huang Kan pointed up at the sky with his fingers and lamented: "I think the reason why Zhiyuan has embarked on the wrong path is because he got too close to those so-called children who have not dried up the milk of the new culture, and they have been contaminated with filth, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's sad!" ”

Yan Fu said seriously: "At present, we must actively speak out and prevent foreigners from reaching west of the East China Sea to preserve the integrity of our country's agricultural elements." ”

Liu Shipei nodded: "Elder Yan is right, but if you want to preserve the integrity of my country's agricultural elements, we have to call on everyone to ban the export of organic fertilizers such as soybean cakes, do not use chemical fertilizers, and do not be traitors!" ”

Huang Kan echoed: "Well said, when I go back, I will draft an article, unite with our Beijing Domestic Products Maintenance Association, and write to the Nationalist Government to demand severe punishment for those who sell and buy without permission!" ”

"Okay."

"I agree."

"Yes."

Just when everyone was talking, Gu Hongming, who was reclining on the chair and closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and said unceremoniously:

"Hutu, ignorance, ignorance!"

Huang Kan's blood is strong: "How can Gu Lao say this, we can't forget if we don't express our opinions when everyone is discussing national affairs, we can't still speak ill of each other, Chen Zhongfu didn't defeat us, we ourselves began to disintegrate from the inside." ”

"Humph!" Gu Hongming snorted coldly, handed the blanket covering his body to the servant, then took the cigarette gun and took a slight sip, got up and looked around at everyone, waved his hand and said slowly:

"Sun Wu once said that knowing each other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; If you don't know who you are, you will die in every battle.

And you have been arguing and arguing, and you have not yet figured out that Cheng Zhiyuan is promoting chemical fertilizers, and there is no doubt about this, and he himself published a signed article in his journal Science.

But he never said that this chemical fertilizer was purchased from abroad, right?

Yes? Ladies and gentlemen, Gu is right!? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

Huang Kan's momentum is obviously weak, but it is not easy to admit defeat directly: "Chemical fertilizer is not to pile up pig feces, cow feces, and chicken manure together, waiting for the fermentation to be completed, and the knowledge in it is deep." ”

Gu Hongming walked up to Huang Kan with his back hand, shook his upper body, and stared at him with his eyes: "You also know that this thing is not as simple as eating and dressing, but you also have to understand that the talented person who can be seen by Cai Gongxiang must have his charm." ”

Huang Kan was already at a loss, and Gu Hongming's identity was pressurized, so how dare he continue to be stubborn, so he turned his head out and whispered: "Chemical fertilizers are related to rural rejuvenation and national rejuvenation, you and I still need to be cautious." ”

Gu Hongming looked up to the sky and laughed: "How can I not know this? The countryside is in decline, and the economy is inevitably on the verge of bankruptcy. ”

Before everyone could react, Gu Hongming waved his hand at the servant, and the servant understood and presented the information that had been prepared.

Gu Hongming picked up the document and said word by word: "This thing was given to me by Cai Gong last night, saying that it was for us to help Zhiyuan contribute, but at that time, I still had the heart to refuse, thinking that this is a calculation, I can't speak, how can I help this late star?"

But after receiving the information, I found that it turned out to be agriculture, such a major event related to the country's social welfare, I could not let me pay attention to it, and I was shocked after reading it all night, especially when I said that if I want to save my country from poverty today, so as not to perish, the only way is to revive my inherent agriculture and work hard to produce. ”

Liu Shipei was puzzled: "Everyone understands this truth, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered together." ”

"I'm not done yet, there's something else to come." Gu Hongming raised the article in his hand and said: "As mentioned above, the fundamental method for increasing agricultural output has two ends, one is to improve varieties, and the other is to advocate the application of various fertilizers.

As for the reason, it's very detailed, and it's a bit verbose for me to read it directly, but you still have to see it yourself. ”

Huang Kan impatiently took the document and was about to browse it quickly, but when he saw the author's name, he was a little stunned: "Cheng Nuo!" Cheng Zhiyuan? ”

"Apart from him, who else can make Cai Gong so attentive? Even Hu Shizhi's child is nothing more than that. Gu Hongming shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "The supply of natural fertilizers is insufficient, and farmers are not able to apply chemical fertilizers, but they cause various diseases. ”

Liu Shipei sighed: "Alas, I am not convinced by others, but I have to accept Zhiyuan, young people have achievements not only not proud, but continue to do things quietly, last time I was able to make alkali, this time I am also very optimistic about him."

But then again, the steamed buns steamed with Chinese soda ash are really white, and I can eat them without any side dishes just out of the pot......"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you don't know how many people in our country can't eat!" Huang Kan turned his head, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel.

"Hey, what are you scolding me for, inexplicable!" Liu Shipei replied: "If you have the ability, you can do something." ”

"How do you know that I just said with my lips, wait, I'll go back and write a few articles immediately to support Zhiyuan!" Huang Kan did not show weakness.

Liu Shipei was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Should I praise your husband for being able to stretch and bend, or should I scold you for being shameless?" ”

Gu Hongming hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, everyone will pass on the documents brought by Cai Gong to take a look at each other, go back and think about how we should fight this battle in the future, it is very important and huge in the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is necessary to discuss it......"

……

If the controversy on chemical fertilizers in the Western world is mostly from the perspective of natural science and technology, economy and management, science and practice, then the debate about chemical fertilizers in the Republic of China has a more complex social connotation.

For the people of the Republic of China, the problem of chemical fertilizers was not only a problem in the field of agronomy and agriculture, but also a political, national defense and economic issue.

In particular, at the request of Cheng Nuo, Cai Yuanpei first published an article on chemical fertilizers, naming and supporting Cheng Nuo's Zhonghua brand, which directly attracted the attention of public opinion.

Later, Chen Zhongfu, Li Dazhao and others also began to promote the benefits of chemical fertilizers on "New Youth", and by the way, they publicized the benefits of Mr. Sai.

The conservatives led by Gu Hongming, while publicizing the advantages of chemical fertilizers, emphasized the need to boycott foreign goods and preserve the country's agricultural elements, which also caused major repercussions in society.

After a few efforts, it completely triggered a wave of discussion about chemical fertilizers, and they conceived the future of China's chemical industry and agriculture in their own views.

Of course, the more voices there are, the more complex the tones are.

The subjects involved in the debate are diverse, and the perspectives of the arguments are different. The various parties who emerged in the debate had different positions and different demands behind them.

Foreign businessmen claim that the purpose of the distribution of chemical fertilizers is "to increase the production of Chinese farmers with this excellent fertilizer, to seek economic prosperity and people's livelihood problems as soon as possible", and they spared no effort to advertise the benefits and efficacy of chemical fertilizers, deliberately ignoring the difference between China and the West, and even faintly had the idea of promoting the better quality of foreign goods.

However, its ultimate goal is only to expand the sales of foreign fertilizers, pursue profits, and ignore the current situation in China.

In addition to the high praise of chemical fertilizers by the Chamber of Commerce and the Domestic Products Maintenance Association, out of deep affection for the country and the people, there are also calculations about "the sharp decline in domestic sales", and they are worried about the consequences of the impact of foreign goods, which are difficult to contain.

Some scholars in the agronomic community believe that in the current shortage of fertilizers in China, our use of chemical fertilizers is within the scope of advantages and disadvantages, not only do not need to argue whether it should be a domestic product, but also vigorously advocate the use of chemical fertilizers.

For a while, there were many opinions, but there was one thing in common, that is, to support the use of chemical fertilizers for agricultural fertilization.

In the center of the storm, Cheng Nuo was like a nobody, taking care of his own things.

At this moment, a person suddenly broke in from outside the door, holding a large stack of letters in his hand, and spread them all out on Cheng Nuo's table.

Cheng Nuo didn't raise his head, and he knew that the person who came was Jiang Jiang Zuo: "How is it, all the letters written to me today have arrived here, right?" ”

Jiang Jiangzuo gasped, drank a cup of herbal tea on the table directly, wiped the water stains on his mouth and said, "Ying...... It should all be here, you say, aren't we going to make a fertilizer, we can't use such a big battle, if we attract the attention of the public, a leader today, a committee member tomorrow, how can we deal with it? ”

Cheng Nuo put the folded clothes in his hand in the suitcase, squatted down and said, "You said that there was such a big battle, could the public not notice it?" ”

Jiang Jiangzuo was puzzled: "Knowing that they are uneasy and kind, aren't we in a hurry to send them to the door?" ”

Cheng Nuo threw down the clothes in his hand, got up and said solemnly: "Because of chemistry, it is not harmless. If the rium sulfate we produce is not used scientifically, once the organic matter in the soil is exhausted, the soil will become a hard block, the wind is impassable, the water is impermeable, and the microorganisms cannot multiply.

This land is about to become a barren land, we are a thorough agricultural civilization, soil quality is very important, it can be said that all the people are the lifeblood, if the soil quality deteriorates, can not be cultivated, then, how will the farmers on this land depend on for survival? ”

Jiang Jiang left and said: "Everything has its own pros and cons, and nothing is a perfect solution......

Cheng Nuo directly interrupted it: "Okay, let's put this aside in advance, and I'll ask you, if you are an illiterate farmer who has never seen what real fertilizer looks like, how can you tell which is real fertilizer and which is fake fertilizer?" ”

Jiang Jiangzuo said in disbelief: "Can this still be fake? ”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "Are there fewer people who earn money without conscience?" ”

Counterfeiting and spending this kind of thing has been since the beginning of the Republic of China, and if it doesn't work, forget it, and you should suffer a muffled loss.

However, if we not only do not increase the yield, but also reduce the yield of the crops, this is a lack of great virtue.

Therefore, Cheng Nuo thought that he would use social discussion to attract the attention of the public, and then he could promote the management and research of chemical fertilizers by the public, and introduced a series of chemical fertilizer management policies, which would be of great benefit to the popularization of fertilizer knowledge and the establishment of scientific fertilization methods.

Seeing that Jiang Jiangzuo was still thinking, Cheng Nuo smiled: "Don't be so frustrated, if our plan goes smoothly at the moment, the effect of the ronium sulfate produced in advance is relatively limited, I once asked Guo Shouchun, who studies seeds, to do an experiment, the purpose is to compare the difference between farm fertilizer and chemical fertilizer."

Speaking out can give you a spook. ”

Jiang Jiangzuo was curious: "How can you say that chemical fertilizer far exceeds farmhouse fertilizer?" Isn't that to be expected? ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile and said mysteriously: "The growth of plant stems and leaves has obvious effects, but from the comprehensive perspective of harvest and other aspects, it is still slightly inferior to agricultural fertilizers, which shows that traditional Chinese farm fertilizers still have certain advantages." ”

Jiang Jiangzuo was a little confused: "Then since there is no advantage, why do we have to work thanklessly and simply jump over to study how good it is?" ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "But whether it is in terms of cost control or time efficiency, chemical fertilizers have taken advantage, and farm fertilizers are far from meeting the needs of agricultural production." ”

Jiang Jiangzuo was curious: "So what do you mean?" ”

A light flashed in Cheng Nuo's eyes: "Of course, it is mainly based on traditional farm fertilizers, supplemented by modern chemical fertilizers, and has embarked on a localization path of self-production and effective monitoring." ”

Especially at the moment when rinium sulfate is used as the main fertilizer, it should not be devalued for farm fertilizer.

After all, no matter how cheap it is, the cost of chemical fertilizers is placed there, and it is impossible to do business at a loss.

In the final analysis, Cheng Nuo wants to completely throw out the concept of chemical fertilizers through the means of publicity, which will save future promotion costs.

It can also cooperate with the local government to introduce more scientific and professional fertilization experience, so as to avoid the people from being deceived and the hard work of the whole year in vain.

Of course, in addition, Cheng Nuo also has the intention to start the national chemical industry into the construction period, and since then the process of "chemicalization" of China's agriculture has begun.

Every achievement of the Academy of Sciences should be used by the people, and it will also set an example for other departments of the Academy of Sciences.

"Let's do this first, I have packed up all the things I went to Sichuan, how about it, Liang Rengong, have you invited me to accompany me?"
