The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 130

Xiao Jiu and a worker left with a two-wheeled cart.

This bucket of ammonia water will be poured into the wheat field for observation, and Xiao Jiu has to observe and follow up in person.

Water can absorb ammonia gas. When the absorption is saturated, it cannot be absorbed, so the ammonia water in the bucket is qualified

Ammonia needs to be sprinkled into the land and cannot directly contact the crops, otherwise it is easy to burn the stems and leaves.

Zhu Gaochi had no intention of stopping their actions.

This phenomenon can just attract their attention, and then they can give some advice, and the technology of ammonia water will naturally appear.

The effect of ammonia water is easy to discover, just like later generations discover a phenomenon and then study it.

The initial technology, the birth threshold is not high.

What Zhu Gaochi considered was how to distill ammonia into solid fertilizer.

When people transported ammonia water for a long distance, they found that it had lost its effect, encountered problems, and began to think of various ways to solve them.

Finally figured out the reason, and summed up the solution.

Distilled into a solid fertilizer.

It is not only convenient for transportation, but also convenient for long-term storage.

Zhu Gaochi did not follow Xiao Jiu to the farmland, but returned to the office.

Take out the notebook from the drawer and start recording.

Just give Xiao Jiu the idea directly. As for how to apply it to production, Zhu Gaochi doesn't understand, it's not his strong point, and Xiao Jiu and the others need to explore.

Just like a steam engine.

"There is water and gas in coal, which evaporates into the air after combustion, which can be called ammonia gas."

"Ammonia gas can be combined with water, which is called ammonia water. After distillation, the ammonia water is one-eighth."

There are records of fractions in ancient times, and "Historical Records·Tianguan Shu" has the writing method of "...two-thirds...nine-eight...".

"Put the green alum ore in an iron pot and melt it into a liquid at high temperature."

"The ratio of green alum liquid to clean water is ten to one to form the required green alum water."

"The ratio of alum water and distilled ammonia water is one to two. During the distillation process, after sufficient stirring, they will fuse and become white precipitated particles, which can be called chemical fertilizers."

"For wheat fields, two catties of chemical fertilizers are used per mu. Combined with farm manure, the chemical fertilizers must be mixed with dry fine soil first, and then sowed as they are mixed."

If farmyard manure is not used, five catties of chemical fertilizer will be used for one mu of land, so Zhu Gaochi will naturally use it in combination, so there is no such waste.

In fact, later generations used a lot of chemical fertilizers, including farmyard manure.

However, after a lot of craftsmanship, the farmyard manure in the city has been refined in various ways, and finally used in agricultural fertilizers.

"For rice seedling head fertilizer, use three catties of chemical fertilizer per mu, combined with farmyard manure. In case of low temperature and cold wave, you must keep a shallow water layer to avoid damage to the seedlings."

"For rice seedling soaking, use one catty of chemical fertilizer per mu of seedling field, and the ratio of water to water is [-]. After melting, soak the roots of the seedlings in the fertilizer water for about half an hour, and then you can transplant the seedlings."

"Drilling crops, you can first open the furrows and apply fertilizers, and then sow the seeds."

……

Zhu Gaochi didn't think that Xiao Jiu could figure out this prescription in a short time, and it might be enough for him to study it for a lifetime.

There are many surprising prescriptions of the ancestors, but there is no record of the process, and no one knows how they were made, and Zhu Gaochi can't afford to wait.

When the chemical fertilizer is produced, the coke refinery will have an additional income.

And coal black, tar, and more.

Every additional item is an extra profit.

……

The factory has invested in eight honeycomb briquettes. Although it doesn't value profit, Wang Ren can devote himself to the business with confidence.

"Your income in the outer cabinet is not better than that in the store? And I think you are busier than in the outer cabinet." A steward asked curiously.

"Then how can it be the same?"

"I am the owner of the museum."

"Official fans." The man suddenly realized.

"Why are you an official fan? You don't understand." Wang Ren didn't bother to explain.

The factory does not take out 1 taels of silver in one go, but follows the progress of each company and the completion of the project.

Wang Ren met Zhang Quan and studied the map of Beiping Mansion in the guild hall with eight workshop owners.

"I want the Hejian Mansion."

"I want Baoding Mansion."

"Why?"

The eight people pointed at the map and scrambled for the territory. Zhang Quan was dumbfounded when he saw it, and his tone was so loud.

"There are still so many state capitals, everyone calm down."

Wang Ren is an old peacemaker.

No one is robbing Yongping Mansion because the population here is small.

The eight families in Beiping Prefecture are all doing it, and it is the base camp, and no one can monopolize it.

Zhending Mansion and Shunde Mansion are also good, the best is Daming Mansion, but Daming Mansion is too far away, everyone knows that Wang Mansion's influence there is not enough.

Then the best ones are Baoding Mansion, which is close to Beiping Mansion, and Hejian Mansion, which is close to Shandong Province.

The two prefectures have large populations and relatively good economies.The market is big, and the profits are naturally big, and no one wants to miss it.

"I see, no one should eat alone. Not only go to good places, but also to go to bad places. Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are."

Zhang Quan represented the young prince, and in the future he will still be relied on in the official business. The merchants all agreed, and no one dared to object.

"Since Brother Quan has spoken, we must listen to it, and we should divide it by state and county, not by prefecture."

Guo Song suggested.

He also wanted to eat alone, but soon found that several of his colleagues were not fuel-efficient lamps.

Those who can stand out from dozens of briquette workshops, who do not have dim sum machines and courage, are ambitious people.

That being the case, he changed his mind.

He has the most skilled workers, and no one can compare to him in terms of business expansion speed.

Someone saw his plan, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was his advantage, and there was nothing he could do about it.

We can only cultivate enough skilled workers as soon as possible, otherwise whoever has fewer skilled workers will fall behind.

"Brother Quan."

"Is there something wrong with Dong Guo's family?" Zhang Quan asked.

"The little prince supports us to establish the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, hoping that we will develop together and support the market as soon as possible. Is what I said right?"

Someone felt bad, Guo Song didn't speak to others, and said first: "But some people don't obey the rules, and even secretly want to poach people from the workshop below, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Quan looked at Wang Ren.

He doesn't know much about business matters, and he doesn't know whether this kind of behavior should be banned.

Wang Ren said dissatisfiedly: "Competition is a good thing, but excessive competition is a bad thing. The market has not yet been captured, but internal losses first. I suggest that this kind of behavior should be banned. What do you say?"

Some people are dissatisfied, but they dare not speak out against it.

We all know that Guo Song and Wang Ren are close, and Guo Song is still the deputy director of the museum. Originally, he has the most skilled workers. If you don't poach people from him, whoever can snatch him.

"But some workers leave on their own, can't they be recruited?"

"Correct."

People chime in.

"No one is going to dig the wall, how can the workers leave the workshop? They don't eat! They don't support their families," Guo Song objected.

Wang Ren didn't continue to promise, he was still working part-time.

"Three months."

"With a limit of three months, if a worker leaves the honeycomb coal workshop, he is not allowed to go to another honeycomb coal workshop within three months."

This method is not safe, but it can be regarded as relieving Guo Song's pressure.

The eight people began to gather around the map and start their calculations again.

One city for you, one city for him.

When you encounter a place you want, just skip it first. It took half a day to divide the states and counties.

Then there are a few places that everyone robbed.

These places have a good economy, a large population, and are close to Shandong or other provincial capitals, so they have great prospects.

"It's not enough for one person to eat, let's share it with everyone."

Zhang Quan made a decision.

In some places, or two, or three, finally finished the map.

Seeing this, Wang Ren took out his plan and distributed it to everyone.

It was the first time for Zhang Quan to participate in this kind of event, but he didn't feel bored. Instead, he found it very interesting and participated in it with great interest.

"I have three phases."

"The first phase is naturally an important place, and these urban markets that can bring returns the fastest will be established first."

"Leverage the profitability of the first market, and then start to expand to the second stage."

"When the second phase is completed, it will be the last small market."

"According to the requirements of the little prince, the rural market must also be developed, but I put it at the end and wait until the third stage is completed before developing the rural market."

"After everyone has finished reading, do you have any questions?"

"The master's plan is perfect, and I don't have any problems."

"I'm fine too."

Seeing that everyone agrees, Wang Ren said: "Every family has experience in making honeycomb coal, and they know better than me. I won't point fingers at how to run a honeycomb coal workshop."

"However, every amount of money provided by the factory must be put into practice. The ugly words come first. If anyone who is greedy for ink is found out, he will bear the consequences."

When the money is in the hands of others, there are naturally means.

For example, the simplest multi-quote.

Wang Ren is not afraid that the investigation will not find out, but he does not want some owners to be ungrateful and ignorant of the seriousness, because it will delay the business.

"Director Wang underestimated us."

"How can a small loss make a big difference."

Everyone promised.

"That's good, everyone will work harder and work together!"

Two days passed.

Each company provided their charter and the required amount of currency, which totaled up to 6000 taels. In the initial stage, the cost of developing the market was the highest.

After Wang Ren's review, he found no mistakes, wrote a detailed explanation, and submitted it to the document room.

Zhu Gaochi approved it, and the secretary called Wang Ren, provided an application form, and taught him to fill it out carefully.

The application was returned to Zhu Gaochi and he signed it directly.

Ma Wangxuan then stamped the paper office stamp and handed it over to Wang Ren, who relied on this form to go to the accounting office to apply.

The accountant will not hand over the money to Wang Ren personally, and Wang Ren will make an appointment.

The owners of the eight honeycomb coal workshops and Wang Ren were all present, and the cashier took out the money, and each family needed to sign a receipt.

This charter is considered complete.

The briquette workshop owner who got the silver wanted to invite Wang Ren to a restaurant for dinner, but Wang Ren refused.

Zhang Quan's eyes were wide open.

After returning to the palace, he was amazed in front of Zhu Gaochi, saying that those merchants were arguing for a while, as if they were about to fight, and then they were very polite to each other.

"They are colleagues, and colleagues are enemies. Even if they are in a chamber of commerce, they will not be able to control the competition. It is not a rare thing."

Zhu Gaochi didn't take it to heart.

As a businessman, there is competition and cooperation, and it is not normal to be harmonious every day.
