The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 2104 Fertilizer aid and a lot of saltpeter

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

The new type of fertilizer has no smell, and the vermicompost is really similar to soil. Therefore, Marin didn't hide it anymore. Even, envoys from other countries are allowed to view it.

Anyway, there are no chemists in this era, so it is impossible to test the real ingredients. Moreover, after the vermicompost was mixed with phosphate rock powder and potassium salt, the color was a little gray, more like volcanic ash.

Even, because he no longer worried about being seen by other countries, Marin agreed to export a small amount of new fertilizers. As for the target of the export, it is the first poor emperor in the ages - Maximilian I.

Why export to Maximilian I? Is it because he is afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to withstand it if he has no money...

The emperor is about to launch a war in Switzerland, and money will be spent after that. It was impossible for Marin to lend him any more money. After all, he himself was running out of money. Borrowing food or something is too obvious, and it is easy to attract hostility.

Therefore, Marin adopted a more covert method - selling new fertilizers to the emperor!

In this way, because it is a normal trade, it is difficult for other countries to say anything. Moreover, Marin's asking price is also very dark-the new fertilizer used per mu of land is directly priced at 100 pfennig. Moreover, it is a new type of fertilizer that has been weakened.

The so-called weakened new fertilizers are actually no phosphate fertilizers added. Phosphorus fertilizer is a key fertilizer for increasing grain production, which is related to the number of fruits. Nitrogen fertilizers promote plant growth, and potassium fertilizers enhance plant stress resistance and resistance to diseases and insect pests, and can also enhance the ability of high photosynthesis and save water.

Although nitrogen and potassium fertilizers cannot directly promote the increase of grain grain production, they can also promote the increase of grain production through better plant growth and enhanced vitality. For example, the original yield of less than 100 pounds per mu can be increased to more than 200 pounds per mu, doubling the output.

Marin offered a price of 100 pfennig per acre. If it was used for rye, the income would be very low, and most of the increase in production would be used to pay for fertilizers.

But when it comes to wheat, which costs five times as much as rye, what a difference! A 100-pound increase in production is equivalent to a profit of 500 pfennigs. And from less than 100 pounds to more than 200 pounds, it is more than 100 pounds, and it can even reach 150 pounds. In this way, the increased profit can reach about 750 pfennigs. No matter how bad it is, there are about 600 pfennigs...

Austria is different from the North Sea country. Although it is in the Little Ice Age, Austria has a much warmer climate than the North Sea country because of its low latitude, which is also suitable for wheat growth.

The emperor had previously proposed to import the fertilizer needed for 10,000 Ugrams (120,000 mu) of wheat land, and was willing to pay a high price. But Marin was worried that the secret that fertilizer was manure would be discovered, so he didn't agree.

The reason for the refusal was the insufficient production of volcanic ash.

But now that he is not worried about the secret being leaked, Marin decided to reply to the emperor and agreed to export a weakened version of the new fertilizer. Moreover, the sky-high asking price is 200 Finney per mu.

The emperor happened to be in Ghent in the Netherlands. After rushing over, he learned that Marin had guaranteed that the yield per mu (Marin explained the meaning of mu for half a day) could increase to more than 200 pounds, so he decisively agreed to the deal without counter-offering. However, His Majesty the Emperor had no money, and asked to wait until the autumn harvest to sell the grain to pay...

Marin was speechless, but he planned to support the emperor, so he agreed. And the emperor is definitely not at a loss, because after using fertilizers, the emperor's wheat field will increase his income by at least 300 pfennig per mu, which is equivalent to 5 gold coins. 120,000 mu is 600,000 gold coins.

It's just that Marin added a clause requiring the emperor to choose a manor with good security. Moreover, patrols need to be dispatched to guard, to prevent the news of the soaring yield per mu after the emperor got the fertilizer from leaking out. After all, Marin was so obvious that he was hostile.

The emperor who had benefited was naturally willing to agree. Moreover, he still wants to do this business for a long time, so he naturally doesn't want to offend Marin.

But Marin is not so easy to fool. Although he can pay the bill after the autumn harvest, if he wants to get the fertilizer, the emperor has to send a group of Austrian immigrants first. Then, the escorting army just happened to pull back the packaged manure.

Fortunately, the emperor did recruit immigrants from Austria, so without further ado, the emperor went back to Austria to organize immigrants to go north. After all, His Majesty the Emperor also wanted to get the fertilizer earlier and apply it earlier.

...

It should be pointed out that the Beihai country really has no shortage of fertilizer sources. For example, the source of manure, because Marin previously signed an agreement with the princes along the Rhine to collect manure. Now, on the Rhine, there are more than 300 tons of manure every day. The Canal - the waterway of the Ems River, which carries it out to sea to remote islands in the East Frisian archipelago. Then, fermentation and boiling soil nitrate are carried out in the high wall. Subsequently, it was loaded on a ship and transported to an island in the West Frisian Islands for earthworm breeding.

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of ships and barrels to transport dung, it would be possible to move 2,000 tons a day. After all, there are so many people on the banks of the Rhine, eating and drinking every day. Each person discharges one pound per day, and with a population of two to three million on the Rhine, there are more than 1,300 tons.

Moreover, in order to make more profits, the people of the states along the Rhine River deliberately got wet to deal with the acquisition. If it is wet, it will naturally have a lot of urea. But they didn't know that most of the nitrate was in the urea. Therefore, the North Sea State is profitable.

In addition, the sellers of the states along the Rhine quietly mixed horse dung and cow dung into the dung and sold it to the dung collection ships of the North Sea, making the dung ships not enough.

But these sellers don't know that the North Sea Country is definitely not losing money, and it's making money. You must know that the purchase price paid by Beihai State is also a labor fee. It is equivalent to paying the labor cost of the person who collects the excrement, and the excrement is equivalent to nothing. The bulk of the Beihai country's expenditure is actually on freight.

However, after one ton of manure is processed, vermicompost fertilizer equivalent to three acres of land can be obtained, as well as thirty or forty pounds of saltpeter. Now, the dung ships in Beihai can receive more than 300 tons of dung every day, which is equivalent to getting vermicompost fertilizer for thousands of acres of land and tens of thousands of pounds of saltpeter every day. After one year, the income is extremely considerable.

Therefore, when Marin showed his face at the beginning, he would rather bear the reputation of "the king who collects dung" and get the dung from the countries along the river. It was a great success.

You know, there are more than 300 tons of manure every day, which is equivalent to thousands of acres of nitrogen fertilizer and tens of thousands of pounds of fertilizer. In the whole year, you can get more than 300,000 mu of nitrogen fertilizer and more than 3 million pounds of saltpeter...

At this point, Marin himself was taken aback:

"Damn it, I don't need to develop Chilean saltpeter anymore!"

To develop Chilean saltpeter, the cost of mining saltpeter is low, but the freight is high. The cost of transporting the saltpeter from Chile to the mainland is much higher than the cost of digging the saltpeter.

Calculated in this way, the cost of collecting manure and boiling saltpeter is not much higher than transporting saltpeter from Chile. Moreover, the output is still very large. More than three million pounds, that's equivalent to more than a thousand tons! Moreover, this is the amount purchased from other states. The poop of the more than two million people in Beihai has not been counted yet. In this way, the output of saltpeter in Beihai may explode...

What's more, in addition to people flying in Beihai, cow dung, sheep dung, pig dung and horse dung are also required to be collected. However, there are a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and pigs in the Beihai country. All in all, the feces produced every day can exceed 8,000 tons, which is more than 20 times the amount of dung ships. The amount of vermicompost and saltpeter that can be produced is also extremely amazing.

In addition, the number of chickens, ducks, and geese in Beihai has also started to skyrocket. Because of the technology of kang house incubation, the number of chickens, ducks, and geese has grown astonishingly, and the excrement produced has also skyrocketed. Of course, geese and ducks have to be stocked, and it is difficult to collect manure. Maybe, geese and ducks are swimming in the water, and they just come and go in the river. There are only chickens. Marin promotes cage breeding and captive breeding, and chicken manure is easy to collect. According to the calculation of the breeding department, after three years, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of tons of chicken manure every day. Moreover, after ducks and geese return home every night, they can also produce a lot of feces, which can be collected.

For this, Marin can only thank the black technology during the Anti-Japanese War in the 20th century. At that time, due to the lack of gunpowder, our army's base areas could only improve the technology of boiling soil and nitrate. On average, one thousand catties of soil and one hundred to one hundred and fifty catties of urea can produce eight or nine catties of saltpeter, which is extremely efficient.

The local method of this era is to collect nitrate around the cesspit, and the amount of goods received is extremely small. On average, thousands of catties of urea may not be able to collect a catty of soil nitrate. Its efficiency is far below even one-tenth of the black technology of the base area, not even one-twentieth.

Therefore, thanks to the black technology in the base area, Marin provided a large amount of saltpetre...

If the North Sea Navy knew the news, it would be very grateful. Because, this means that they will have unlimited fire rights in the future, and they will no longer use the artillery on the battleship as a decoration...
