Poor family mother and son

Chapter 603 Friendship Made of Dung

Sanbuner really wanted to agree, but he didn't dare.

The smiling face of the "male woman" in front of her is not as amiable as she is with the children.

He even had a feeling that as long as he nodded, the person opposite could slaughter him like a wolf.

Chu Qing's convoy marched unhurriedly on the grassland like this, as if he didn't worry about the safety of those controlled by the fourth prince at all.

Whenever I met herdsmen, I stopped to greet everyone enthusiastically, and then told them sadly that I could not sell them anything, because these goods needed to be sent to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince detained her caravan.

Nasrullah and Sanbaner followed all the way, but it was really hard to tell.

Even when he arrived in his own country, he felt even more helpless and helpless.

They didn't understand why they were not worried or afraid when they escorted Qiao Keli all the way?

And what they were worried about had spread much wider than they had imagined. Not only did they and the Suote tribe start to gossip about "what about the fourth prince", but even Virat, the territory of Youxian King, began to discuss it.

Zuo Xianwang Suo Nanjia has been soaking in Virat recently and refused to leave, waiting for the grain harvest of others.

At the moment, he is making friends with Virat's leader, You Xian Wang Qiangba, saying that his brother and the other party were such good brothers in the past, and hope that after the autumn harvest this year, the other party can first intercept some of the grain, and he will buy it at a price [-]% higher .

When the two were bargaining, Zuo Xianwang's subordinates came in and interrupted the conversation between the two sides, reporting that it was widely rumored that the fourth prince "sent troops to control the border checkpoints", and also reported another news of "buy one get one free": "Bao Qingsheng" The caravan was hijacked by the fourth prince, and his owner came to Hesot in person.

The previous news already made Zuo Xianwang frightened and angry: Then Kailidi is not even a lord, so why should he launch troops in my territory?

The latter news made Zuo Xianwang and Youxian Wang unable to sit still: Bao Qingsheng's boss is here!
Neither King Zuoxian nor his subordinates expected that King Youxian would lose his composure like this.

No one knows that in the past few years, Youxian King Qiangba Yu Baoqingsheng has purchased a lot of things privately, such as farm tools, seeds, and...fertilizers.

It should be said that Chu Qing and King Youxian had a "strong friendship piled up with dung".

It's also interesting to say that since Chu Qing "wrapped" the manure in Xinlunzhou a few years ago, all the people in the family have become interested in composting.

So much so that later Baijiaxing helped Qiao Wanqi and the others integrate the swill business in Kyoto and the Yexiang business in Qiongjiahang, forming a very large-scale "fertilizer base".

Lao Yu and Lao Zhao also collected manure from horse farms and livestock farms and set up manure processing workshops, and Yibin Mansion also followed suit.

According to Chu Qing's theory that "dung soil is heavier than ten thousand households", the boys of the Chu family tried various methods such as "simmering dung method", "pit dung method" and "boiling dung method" to configure different fertilizers.

The raw materials also range from manure and swill at the beginning, to ash, garbage, chaff, wormwood stalks, fallen leaves and so on.

The prepared fertilizers are dried and crushed into particles of uniform size, without any foul smell.

And it can be directly applied to the soil, without the problems of burning roots and seedlings like raw dung, and it is not easy to harden the soil. It is widely liked by farmers, and the fertilizer produced by Chu's workshop is in short supply.

Like Xingtang County, Xu Guangze had already listed the Chu family's fertilizer as one of the "materials purchased by the yamen", for fear that the Chu family would not reserve enough for their county.

When the Chu family's caravan went to Voss the year before last, they discussed the deal of farm tools with Virat and gave them a few bags of fertilizer as a gift. Since then, fertilizer has become a hot commodity in the Virat area.

Because the proportion of the arable area of ​​Voss is relatively small, most of the country's food comes from Virat, which is more dependent on the Jiangnan area than Daxuan. Study how to achieve high yield and high yield on limited land.

Under the guidance of the "Nongshi" from Daxuan, methods such as interplanting, interplanting, and crop rotation were tried in different regions, and some progress was made, but many problems were also exposed.

The most obvious is the lack of soil fertility.

The fertilizer sent by the Chu family's caravan made their vegetables grow bigger and stronger within a month, making King Youxian feel like a treasure.

Fertilizers are also consumables, which need to be purchased continuously, so since then, they have been "out of control", and if the caravan does not come, they will go to the mutual market to find "Bao Qingsheng" to buy goods.

Baoqingsheng Warehouse even dispatched special personnel to collect and record the comparison of the effects of various fertilizers on land in different regions, classify fertilizers according to their functions, and mark different prices.

A small business that does not seem to have much profit was suddenly developed by the Chu family into the 360th line-a fertilizer company. Therefore, the fertilizer brand of the Chu family was designated as "Three Six One" by Chu Qing's "bad taste". ".There is no degree.

Due to the changes in farming methods, the farmers in Virat spent more time on farming, but they had less chance to gather crowds to make trouble, and the tribe became much more stable.

King Youxian even met the boys of the caravan in person.

Chu Qing was not worried at all about any loss to Da Xuan caused by her support of Voss' agricultural development, because they needed to "import" all fertilizers.

Their land is vast and sparsely populated, and they don't know how to make manure, and the manure of livestock needs to be collected and dried in the sun to be used as fuel. Therefore, clearly controlling the fertilizer is equivalent to controlling their food production.

If one day Chuqing is in a good mood and the stock is cut off for them, then they will become "starving people".

On the other hand, Chu Qing took advantage of the embarrassing situation of King Youxian in the border war between Voss and Daxuan that "everyone dies but he lives alone" to make a private deal with King Youxian.

For example, last year, Chu Qing hoped that the tribes of Vos would fight, and secretly "supported" Virat with a batch of weapons, earning a lot of private money.

Later, Chu Qing exchanged the "filial piety" of the Chu family boys and the "private money" he had saved with King You Xian into gold, as the "family property" saved for Xiaobao.

All these things were done without the knowledge of the emperor.

Chu Qing is an indispensable person to King Zuoxian and King Youxian. This person has a wide range of connections, and is related to half of Suote's economy, as well as Virat's weapons and equipment.

Therefore, at this time, the wise kings of the left and right were more shocked when they heard the news that Chu Qing's caravan was hijacked than when they heard the fourth prince "sent troops".

In Voss, a country where the system was in transition, the king demanded far more from the lords than they could bear.

And when the lords have not gained control of the entire country, the last thing they want is to see any problems with the existence that can "provide" them with resources.

Like them, the fourth prince had indirectly benefited from Wu Jichang through the Jiangnan Meng family, but now that Wu Jichang was gone, the resources that the Meng family could supply were dwindling, so he had to start looking for a "next family".

Coincidentally, the fourth prince and the two lords found the same person.
