There is no such big difference between modern fertilization and non-fertilization. The harvest of crop fertilization usually increases by between 10 and 40%.
There was such a big difference in ancient times because there was basically no fertilization technology in this era, and there were only some pitiful few farm fertilizers.
In this case, year after year, the fertility of crops will continue to decline.
If it has any measures to maintain its fertility, it is to quit the field.
However, the fertility that can be supplemented by the field is very limited, which eventually leads to the general low crop harvest.
At this time, the fields were fertilized, which was like feeding the fields a dose of tonic. With the careful care of the children of the farm, it was normal to increase the yield by half.
And this is just a small head.
After fertilization, all the fields distributed to the Chu people did not need to be closed, and the area of cultivated land invisibly doubled... The benefits of more than the fields in Chu are not a little bit.
Chen Bing asked Xu Ying:
"Sir, can this fertilizer be used in Huaibei at this time?"
Xu Ying thought about it, then nodded and replied:
"I think it's OK."
"Although the harvest is not yet reached, the crops after fermenting are strong and the particles are full."
“It has been confirmed that it is feasible.”
So Chen Bing and Yang Duanhe turned their attention to Fusu.
Although Fusu was just a military supervisor of the Daliang Army, he still had the right to decide as a prince of Qin.
But there is actually no need to ask for instructions at all. Who can refuse such a good thing?
Fusu nodded and said:
"I will act according to what the deputy general said."
"Also, we must not leak the method of fertilization to the State of Chu to know."
Fusu has come to the point this time.
Compared to the previous rice pounding water trucks and even "water discharge", this fermented fertilizer seems to have no technical content but is much more important.
The reason is that it can directly increase crop yield without having to go to farm.
This was a magical tool in ancient times when agriculture was based on it and food was the most important thing.
With this magical artifact, no matter how much taxes are reduced in Chu State, it will be useless.
It is not difficult to keep the secret, you only need to send a trustworthy person to make fertilization.
For example, Yang Duanhe sent the army to make fertilizer, and then let the people transport it after it was made... All the people received was a bunch of black things, and of course they didn't know how it was made.
And those Qin troops who made fat are subject to the system of ranks, so who dares to make any noise?!
Just when Shen Bing thought the matter was over, he didn't want Fusu to ask again:
"Deputy General, I wonder if I can go and see this fertilizer?"
Chen Bing was stunned and replied:
"Young Master can watch it, but although this fertilizer is easy to make, it is extremely indecent. Youth..."
I didn't want Fusu to wave his hand and said:
"It's okay, this fertilizer is related to the lifeline of the country. How can it be avoided in the name of indecentness?"
As he said that, he got up and went out with Yang Duanhe.
This scene only made Xu Ying and Shen Bing look at each other.
However, Xu Ying praised Fusu's move very much, because what the farmers talk about is "the wise men and the people farm together and eat, and the food is eaten and the food is governed."
In other words, when a wise man governs the country, he should farm with the people and have dinner together, but no one who governs the country has ever been willing to do so.
Now Fusu takes the initiative to ask to see this fertilizer... Although this was an unintentional act, it was in line with the morality of the farmer, which immediately made Xu Ying very excited, so he secretly sighed to Chen Bing:
"Young Master is a wise man, and he will be my benevolent king of the Great Qin in the future!"
Chen Bing just smiled.
This Fusu Ren is Ren. It is said that after he experienced Meng Tian for a while, he has changed his pedantic nature and has become resolute and bold, and is deeply loved by the people.
However, whether you can become a king is another matter.
The people who want to harm him are Zhao Gao and Li Si... they are both powerful figures.
Sometimes Chen Bing thought, can he change this history and successfully bring Fusu to power?
What if the change has an impact on future generations?
Chen Bing didn't know the answer, he only knew that a new round of propaganda war was about to begin again.
This round of publicity war is of course focusing on fertilizer.
The method is still as before, and then copied thousands of pictures and texts before sending them to Chu.
However, the difficulty of sending it to Chu has increased slightly, because after the previous propaganda war, the Chu nobles were all prepared.
However, this is hard to guard against, especially the use of bamboo utensils by southerners is very common, such as the bamboo steaks used by fishermen. Any section of them is sawed and hidden in the flyer can't be found even if you want to find them.
So the previous scene repeated, and the impact was even worse than before.
King Qi of Chu was shocked when he received the new leaflet:
"The Qin people actually fermented fertilizer to increase their yields? Is this true or false?"
Xiang Yan thought about it and replied:
"King, from the previous optimization of rice pounding and iron tools, this matter is mostly true."
"This Shen Bing can always make new things with a sudden idea, and it is not difficult for him to fertilize."
King Qi of Chu nodded in agreement.
He knew Chen Bing's skills, so he believed it from the moment he got the flyer. The reason why he asked was just to get a negative answer.
Then Xiang Yan said:
"King, although we know, the people don't."
"Why don't we say that this fertilizer is just a trick of the Qin army?"
King Qi of Chu was silent for a while before answering:
"That's all."
Although King Qi of Chu said that, he knew in his heart that this would not be of use.
The main reason is that the name Chen Bing has become popular in the Chu State... Chen Bing is the one who defeated Xiang Yan many times, and Xiang Yan is also the general of Chu State.
In fact, it is not surprising to defeat Xiang Yan. Originally, the Qin army was stronger than the Chu army, so it was normal for Qin to win and Chu to lose.
The problem is that Shen soldiers win more with fewer and more than once.
Daliang flooded the Chu army, and the battle between the city and the city, especially in Ruyin... Shen Bing personally led three thousand black armored troops to repel tens of thousands of Chu troops, which made Shen Bing a household name known to the family in Chu. , well known to everyone.
In addition, the rice pounding water wheel makes people regard Shen Bing as a god-like figure.
So just like King Qi of Chu and Xiang Yan, the first reaction after seeing the leaflet was to believe... If Shen soldiers with such skills were to make fertilizer, wouldn't it be a trivial matter?
Under this preconceived idea, King Qi of Chu and Xiang Yan promoted the idea that fertilizing was a trick of the Qin army to deceive people... How many people would believe it?
I'm afraid they will doubt the Chu army more than the Qin army, and they will even think that the Chu army is trying to cover up the truth.
As expected, things were as King Chu thought. The people's statement to the Chu army was just a superficial response... This was to survive.
There is a rumor that fermentation in Huaibei can increase production in half, but it is going viral.
Although the people are not educated and illiterate, calculating food and tax rates is related to whether they can survive, and that is accurate.
The current total: the half-percent of the grain that increased production still has surplus after paying taxes, and there is no need to leave the field... No matter how low the tax rate in Chu State is, it is not as good as this one.
