The smell of this stuff is quite strong...

That is all kinds of dung, all kinds of meal, and even sulfur. In short, they are mixed in a mess, fermented for a long time, dried and crushed, and the highly concentrated fertilizer finally produced. According to Xu Guangqi, a bucket is worth ten stones.

Manure. This should not be an exaggeration. After all, both bird droppings and bean cake were the core fertilizers in the rice fields of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the early Republic of China, especially bean cake. Even the large-scale promotion of chemical fertilizers by foreign merchants did not overwhelm bean cake.

Until the 1930s, bean cakes could still compete with chemical fertilizers.

In fact, soybean meal itself is a compound fertilizer.

The content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in these things is very high, and guano is even higher than soybean meal, but the cost is high, and they are all located on isolated islands in the sea. Mining and transportation are extremely difficult in this era. Unlike soybeans, which can be grown everywhere and can also be used as food.

Especially oil extraction, and soybean oil is needed for canning processing.

As for the dung pill, it is a combination of the two. It is based on soybean meal and uses bird droppings to increase the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content.

Then reduce costs.

In addition, it also has insecticidal function.

So things like fishtail powder are also added in.

Standard compound fertilizer.

Before the nitrogen fertilizer industry existed, this was the best solution Yang Feng could think of. In the final analysis, agriculture relied on fertilizers. Since synthetic ammonia was pure science fiction in this era, we could only produce this kind of compound fertilizer through local methods.

“This tastes like good stuff!”

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful and smelled it with satisfaction.

Yang Feng had already hidden away.

The smell of this stuff is already deadly.

However, you still have to deal with the packaging bags, so it is best to use earthen jars or wooden barrels, otherwise a lot of ammonia will escape.

"So the key is still soybeans."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The guano can be solved. The fleet he sent before has just returned the first batch of guano, but this time it is just for exploration. They dug 100,000 kilograms on the small island in the north of Xiaoliuqiu, and then shipped it back.

, Zhu Yuanzhang’s plan is to set up an experimental field using manure pills as fertilizer in a certain city in the capital next year, and also conduct experiments on Yang Feng’s rotten powder and the like.

If it is successful, we will promote it in every hospital.

As for the people taking matters into their own hands, he would certainly not prohibit them from doing so, but he would promote it by giving rewards to the health centers.

He is absolutely devoted to military households.

Various rewards continue to be given every year, including treasures, cash, and cloth. Back then, they thought there was too much pepper, and one person was rewarded several kilograms. Moreover, military households were basically thrown into places with poor conditions, such as Yunnan and Guizhou.

If you want them to be loyal, you need to be rewarded.

"Yes, the key is bean cakes and bird droppings. It's easy to deal with. It's just digging. There are actually very few in Xiaoliuqiu. Even if you dig, you won't be able to dig for long. There are more in the South China Sea. They are found on several islands, but it can't be done.

There are a lot of them. The one that really has the most and is relatively close to us is an isolated island in the ocean east of Luzon. The entire island is there. If we use the amount of Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that it will be enough for a hundred years. The other thing I will give you

That’s the America on the map. There is also this level of guano on the southern coast there, which will last for hundreds of years, but whether it’s Luzon or the Americas, it’s a voyage of tens of thousands of miles.”

Yang Feng said.

Of course, bird droppings are the most difficult.

The cost of this trip of 100,000 kilograms of guano was that a Ming army warship sank at sea. Although most of them were rescued, some still died. Adding in other accidents such as illness at sea, a total of more than a thousand people died.

More than fifty.

In this era, as long as you go out to sea, your life will be sacrificed.

This is only a round trip of three thousand miles.

If it is a round trip of tens of thousands of miles, just look at the Gothenburg. In that era when sea voyages were relatively mature, a round trip still killed one third of the people.

"That's a matter for future generations. If I get this thing, it's a success.

I have asked the He family to go to the South China Sea.

They are familiar with the South China Sea and will find it and bring it to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He was talking about He Zhen...

Of course, He Zhen had died long ago. At this time, He Zhen's son He Rong, hereditary Dongguan Bo, was originally involved in the Lan Yu case and was killed. Several brothers were killed. He Zhen's younger brother He Di simply rebelled.

But he was also killed, but this time the Lan Jade case did not happen, and his family escaped.

The He family is a powerful force in Guangdong. In fact, even if there is no Lan Yu case, they will be killed.

But now they work.

Then there is no need to die.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to attack Annan, the navy is necessary. This kind of thing must rely on Guangdong powerhouses like the He family. What's more, not only to deal with Annan, but also to march into Nanyang in the future, families like them are indispensable.

The useless ones can be killed, but the useful ones should be kept as much as possible to continue to squeeze out the value.

The He family was unable to rebel.

Originally, in history, He Di was forced to rebel, but in the end he didn't even use a large army. The local Ming army in Guangzhou quickly solved the problem.

In short, with the major changes in Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, many things have changed.

"As for the bean cakes, it depends on your machinery. If your land reclamation can be successful, there will be wasteland everywhere in the north, not to mention Liaodong, even the prefectures under Peiping can do the same. The less populated areas in the north can be used to reclaim wasteland and set up farms.

A large number of beans are grown. The south uses bean cakes as fertilizer to grow rice, and the north can even grow wheat in winter. There is fertile land everywhere in the world, and there is abundance everywhere.

If everyone has enough food and clothing, our country, Ming Dynasty, will be stable forever."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very confidently.

Yang Feng just smiled slightly, it was better not to ruin the scenery at this time.

As long as he likes it.

Enough food and clothing...

It is not difficult to have enough food and clothing, but there are always some people who want to eat meat! Everyone eats rice and wears cotton clothes. Of course, if you want to have enough food and clothing, you can, but if someone wants to wear silk and satin and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, then someone has to eat bran vegetables and wear clothes.

Ragged clothes covered in patches!

The ideal is good, but history has proved that reality will never be what it is ideally.

Can his phoenix, dragon and grandsons just ask for adequate food and clothing?

Will those princes and counts only ask for adequate food and clothing?

Will those officials be content with the status quo?

Not to mention the officials, even the petty officials would not be content with the status quo, and the local squires would not be content with the status quo either. Zhu Yuanzhang just used his coercion as a strongman to suppress the unfairness of the Ming Dynasty in a relatively

To a lesser extent. But the essence has not changed, so under this pressure, all the forces are waiting, waiting for the day without him. The harder he presses now, the crazier these people will be after he dies...

Finally free.

Of course, revenge consumption is required!

So, without him, it is very important!
