Four hundred and forty-ninth section soil fertilizer
After Liu Che saw Zhou Yafu off, he patted his chest.
Zhou Yafu came to see Liu Che and only talked about the arrangements for the Korean War and the routine planning work at the beginning of the year.
Zhou Yafu didn't mention a word about Yiren and Confucianism.
But Liu Che knew that Zhou Yafu had actually made his position clear.
He didn't talk about Yiren because it would be useless if Zhou Yafu talked about it. He just had to keep his reservations. He didn't talk about Confucianism because Zhou Yafu knew that Liu Che was inclined to influence Confucianism.
Not long after Zhou Yafu left, Wang Dao came over with a happy face and reported: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Just now, Yang Yi from Moyuan came to report that the sages of Moyuan have successfully trial-produced the fertilizer that your majesty asked!"
When Liu Che heard this, he immediately said: "I want to see Zhuojia Mo Garden in person..."
Liu Che is not Chongzhen, he believes that what he hears is false and what he sees is true.
Although the people of the Mohist family are full of integrity, they cannot do things like the scientific research institutions of later generations of the Chinese dynasty, which are "infallible" in lying about their results, cheating on funds, cheating on professional titles, and cheating on policies.
But there is no guarantee that the eunuchs and bureaucrats below will not be able to think of this.
In everything, it's better to be on guard against the slightest change.
Half an hour later, Liu Che Yujia arrived in front of Moyuan located southwest of Shanglinyuan.
This is because people from the Mohist family do not get along well with other schools of thought, and the process of developing technology by the Mohist family may produce noise, pollution, and a large number of other products.
When Liu Che was choosing a location, he specifically chose such a quiet place, far away from the hustle and bustle of Chang'an.
So far, this location selection is still very successful.
Not only were the Mohists very satisfied (they were finally able to concentrate on the cause of pursuing the truth), but the government and the public were also very satisfied (out of sight was pure), and the people of Shanglin Garden were even more satisfied (the Mohists in Mo Garden were almost every other
After a period of time, they will spread their wealth. Sometimes they will even live in farmers' homes, help with farm work and repair farm tools, without taking any money, and even bring their own dry food...).
"Your Majesty..." Although the Mohists do not believe in ghosts and gods and do not respect destiny, they still respect the rulers enough.
What's more, the facts of the past few decades after the war in the late Qin Dynasty have fully educated the Mohists - without the support and support of the rulers, the Mohists are nothing!
"I heard that the Mohist sages have developed 'fertilizer'?" Liu Che immediately asked as soon as he drove the car: "Take me to see it!"
The current speaker of Moyuan is Yang Yi’s mentor, Zhang Ji from Guangling.
This man was probably in his early sixties, but he was tall and strong, almost the same as a middle-aged man, except that his hair was white and his face was covered with age spots. He looked similar to the crazy doctor in the movie.
But in fact, Zhang Ji is a very compassionate person.
Because of his disciple Yang Yi, Zhang Ji is now recommended as a great scholar by the Mohists in Mo Yuan.
It can be regarded as reunifying the Mohist school, which has been divided for more than fifty years.
Naturally, the person responsible for welcoming Liu Che now is also Zhang Ji.
"Your Majesty, please come with me!" Zhang Ji knelt on the ground and bowed.
Then, he took Liu Che through the corridor of Moyuan and moved forward to the cellar of a house.
When Liu Che arrived, the house was already protected by groups of Confederate soldiers responsible for the security of Moyuan.
"Your Majesty, please take me with you for a moment..." Zhang Ji came to the cellar. He knelt down and led the painters to uncover the soil buried above the cellar, revealing several enamel jars buried underground.
Zhang Ji dug out one of the jars, then held it respectfully, presented it to Liu Che, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a recipe that I have combined with Yang Yi, a Hedong ink master, to improve it by combining it with a recipe from a local old farmer in Hedong."
And out of the 'fertilizer'"
He opened the sealed enamel jar, and immediately a strong pungent smell filled the air. The irritated Liu Che subconsciously covered his nose.
All we can say is that these scientists are indeed political idiots!
Liu Che was thinking in his heart, but his face was filled with joy: This smell is too familiar to him.
The urea before time travel seemed to have the same smell.
Well, the latrine that hasn't been cleaned for a long time probably smells like this too.
Zhang Ji didn't seem to see Liu Che's appearance at all. He only focused on reporting: "Your Majesty, this thing was made by mixing human urine, plaster of paris, and water in different proportions, and then burying it deep in a cellar for ten days..."
On the other side, Yang Yi also held a jar, knelt down and worshiped like a treasure: "Your Majesty, there is this thing. It was obtained by mixing cow dung and gypsum powder and burying it deep in a cellar for three days!"
As he spoke, he also opened the jar. Suddenly, a smell similar to ammonia filled Liu Che's nasal cavity.
Liu Che took a deep breath.
These smells really not very pleasant.
However, Liu Che knew how these seemingly dirty and smelly things would bring about earth-shaking changes to the agriculture of the Han Dynasty.
Before Liu Che traveled through time, his chemistry grades were not very good, and he had already returned them all to the teacher.
However, just listening to Zhang Ji and Yang Yi's reports, Liu Che almost knew that these two 'fertilizers' should be the easiest and most convenient fertilizers to obtain under the current circumstances.
Although compared with modern fertilizer factories, this kind of indigenously produced fertilizers is certainly not as effective as it is in terms of output.
But, yes and no, those are two concepts.
With the introduction of chemical fertilizers, both saline-alkali land and depleted land can be reborn.
More importantly, the yield-increasing effect of chemical fertilizers is almost immediate!
"Have you already tested it?" Liu Che asked patiently. He was now certain that these two kinds of 'chemical fertilizers' would definitely contribute greatly to Han Dynasty agriculture.
However, you still need to do experiments to find out the best way to fertilize.
"Reporting to your majesty, it is only after testing that I have confirmed that these two substances can help increase corn production that I dare to report to your majesty!" Yang Yi immediately replied: "Also, what your majesty mentioned to me a few days ago
Using minerals or animal bones as fertilizers, I am also working hard to test and develop them. Once there are any results, I will report them to the emperor immediately!"
"Good!" Liu Che finally put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Take me quickly to see how the crops that have been fertilized are growing?" In fact, it is. The smell of these two kinds of 'fertilizers' is not very good, although Liu Che
I don't dislike it, but I can't stand it either. After all, he is used to being well-dressed and well-fed.
"No!" Zhang Ji bowed his head after hearing this.
After more than fifty years of dormancy, the Mohist family finally got this opportunity to once again participate in the general trend of the world.
Everyone in the Moh family wanted to seize this opportunity.
We do not seek to recreate the glory of Confucianism, Mohism, and Mohism during the Warring States Period. At the very least, we want to become a political force that can influence the world, and then carry forward Mohist thought and recruit many disciples.
And all of this depends on the attitude of the powerful emperor in front of him.
Therefore, everyone in the Mohist family worked hard and used every method to do what the emperor ordered, so that the emperor would take it more seriously.
Now it seems that this choice is very correct.
Liu Che, led by Zhang Ji and his entourage with great interest, came to the several hundred acres of land near Moyuan specially designated for the Mohist experiment.
These lands are not only owned by the Mohist family, but at the same time, they are also one of the farmers' experimental fields.
When Liu Che arrived, several agricultural officials from the Shaofu were instructing the tenant farmers to weed and turn over the soil.
Now, the corn harvest is approaching, and the fields are full of heavy millet seedlings.
Liu Che inspected the field all the way and found that the millet seedlings were growing well. The grains were full and there were basically no pests, diseases, pests or weeds.
"Your Majesty, these ten acres of land have been treated with chemical fertilizers..." Zhang Ji led Liu Che to a small field and introduced it.
The farmland system of the Han Dynasty was rather strange.
Take one vertical step and two hundred and forty steps or one hundred and twenty steps as the standard. (Two hundred and forty steps is a large field, and one hundred and twenty steps is a small field. In Guanzhong, the standard is mainly one hundred and twenty steps.)
In other words, the fields of the Han Dynasty were generally long and narrow.
Therefore, the so-called ten acres of land are actually only ten steps wide.
Liu Che personally went to the fields and touched the corn that was said to have been fertilized with chemical fertilizers. Then he compared it with the fields next to it that had not been fertilized with chemical fertilizers. Although the fertilization time was not long and the fertilizer was not applied at the beginning of the corn planting, the two fields were still the same.
There are obvious differences between them.
Millet seedlings that have been fertilized have obviously larger ears, more fruits, and are healthier.
"Pass on my order and have the Young Master come to see me immediately!" Liu Che ordered overjoyed.
Now that a killer weapon like chemical fertilizer has appeared, of course it must be promoted on a large scale immediately.
It's just that it's easy to deal with human urine, but it's a little more difficult to deal with cow dung.
Moreover, if it is promoted forcefully, people may not appreciate it.
It would be better to pilot it in Shanglinyuan first.
In this case, this task has to be handed over to the young master.
After this year's autumn harvest, the Shaofu will be asked to do a good job in producing chemical fertilizers, so as to meet the needs of the entire Shanglinyuan tenant farmers in the spring of next year.
As long as Shanglinyuan has a good harvest next year, Guanzhong will definitely take notice.
By then, Liu Che won't need publicity, and there will be a lot of people crying and begging, 'Your Majesty has mercy and gives you fertilizer.'
If it works well, this fertilizer can even become a trump card in Liu Che's hand, and further kidnap the landlords and gentry in Guanzhong into his own chariot.
An hour later, the Shaofu ordered Cen Mai to come to Moyuan.
Liu Che asked the Mohists to hand over the fertilizer production technology and preparation plan to the Shaofu. At the same time, Liu Che did not hesitate to reward the Mohists generously.
Money, silk, fields, houses, etc., the Mohist family treated them as a boy who was just trying to spread wealth. They might even have given too many rewards and only focused on spreading wealth, which slowed down the progress of scientific research. There is a precedent for this. Mohists from the Mohist family
When you have more money in your pocket, you will inevitably drop the work at hand and practice your own way of being a Mohist.
Therefore, Liu Che simply changed the reward method - he appointed Yang Yi, a Hedong native who assisted Zhang Ji and developed chemical fertilizers, as the domestic history of Dai, and went to Jinyang as an official. He also gave him privileges and was fully responsible for promoting chemical fertilizers in Dai.
After the Mohist heard the words, he immediately knelt down to Liu Che with great joy and shouted "Long live him" three times.
For the Mohists, studying technology and science is a personal hobby. What they are more interested in is spreading their ideas throughout the world and putting Mohist ideas into practice.
However, Liu Che is not very optimistic about their great ideal...
Historically, it has always been a tragedy for scientists, young people, and artists to become officials...
But the Mohists were extremely keen on this approach.
Liu Che had no choice but to let them try.
But then again, during the Qin Dynasty, many Mohists served as local officials, and there were even some outstanding Mohist bureaucrats who made many political achievements. (To be continued...)
