Just after the autumn harvest, the harvest in other areas of Chang'an was not good.
However, some people found out that Lantian County had a bumper harvest this year, and after inquiry, they learned that the main problem was those who patrolled the streets of Chang'an City every day to grab night incense.
Then Guo Shouyi, the county magistrate of Lantian County, wrote a report to the imperial court about the harvest, which was very simple, that is, Yuan Shan, the founding baron of Lantian County, invented something called chemical fertilizer, which can increase the yield of farmland by three to fifty percent per mu after experiments.
As a result, the day after Guo Shouyi went to the fold, Yuan Shan was called to the East Palace.
"Wechen participates in Your Majesty."
Yuan Shan said immediately when he saw Li Shimin.
"Yuanshan, I heard that your fertilizer can increase the yield of farmland, but there is such a thing."
Li Shimin said.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
Won-sun replied.
"Great, if this chemical fertilizer is applied to the entire Datang, wouldn't it allow the people to have enough food and clothing, what do you think, Yuanshan."
Li Shimin said.
Yuan Shan was a little helpless about the formula of the fertilizer he obviously wanted, his face remained calm, and he said, "What Your Majesty said is that Weichen is willing to dedicate the formula of the fertilizer to the imperial court." ” Immediately said the method of making organic fertilizer, and Li Shimin immediately said: "It turns out that the production of chemical fertilizer is so simple. ” Yuan Shan was laughing in his heart, base fertilizer is good production, but where do you go to find so many night incense, don't you still have to come step by step, so he said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry at this time, the raw materials needed for organic fertilizer are not easy to collect, Weichen thinks it is better for the imperial court to issue an order to build thatched toilets and manure tanks in various places, and encourage the people to develop the habit of using thatched toilets and pay attention to hygiene, which is conducive to the collection of fecal raw materials, and saves manpower and transportation costs." ” "I will consider this, it seems that not long ago you handed over a note, which is about cotton planting, the honor list of Datang merchants, this is your idea."
Li Shimin asked.
"This was brought up by the princess when she was discussing with Wechen, not all of Wechen's meaning."
Yuan Shan hurriedly pulled Li Xiuning into the water, this matter was originally a project of the Emperor Taishang, and now the two fathers and sons do not deal with each other, this is a problem that may be caused by accident.
"The matter of cotton will help the people, but don't mention the matter of the honor list of Tang businessmen, and the matter of cotton will be handled according to the things agreed before, but the price of recycling by the imperial court should not be too high."
Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, without this honor list, Weichen can only guarantee that the court's recycling price will be ninety percent of the market price."
Yuan Shan said immediately.
This Li Shimin is obviously lowering the price, and he does not give reputation or subsidy to the project funds, if he wants to reduce the price, he can do it with one sentence, anyway, he has an opposing opinion in his heart.
"What is the specific price of ninety percent?"
Li Shimin asked.
"The price is guaranteed by Weichen, but it will definitely not be higher than the price of silk satin."
Yuan Shan said.
"Well, we'll talk about it later."
Li Shimin seems to be not satisfied with the yield of the cotton recycling price.
Li Yuan originally planned to customize it for the Tang Army, among which when the cotton was recycled, as soon as he sold it, his private treasury would make an extra profit of cotton, and at this time, Li Shimin did not issue a government order to help, and it was too little, so this Yuan Shan really had no choice, so he could only go to the market with him.
Yuan Shan's attitude towards Li Shimin is also not much hope, after coming out of the palace, he has a sense of crisis, because once the production method of base fertilizer is spread, the night fragrance of Chang'an will become a "fragrant dumpling", and his fertilizer factory seems to be facing a crisis of shortage of raw materials.
Sanli, Sili, Wulizhuang, and Lantian Village have a very good average harvest, and the fertilizer of the fertilizer plant itself is not enough, so if there are some competitors, even if their fertilizer effect is good, it also needs to have raw material production.
Yuan Shan had a sense of crisis, and immediately began to think of a way, so after returning to the champion, he began to send people out to buy livestock, cattle, horses, and pigs in various cattle and horse markets.
A few days later, Datang mobile car-mounted latrines were born, which were prepared for people who built roads.
The 50,000 helpers recruited by Zheng Qi were strictly forbidden to defecate in the open and use simple latrines in all the work-intensive areas.
The textile mill is much simpler, because these sanitation have long been built and are the main target of the fertilizer plant's raw material collection.
Half a month later, the imperial court really announced the production method of soil-based fertilizer, and asked the yamen in various places to supervise the construction of latrines, pay attention to personal hygiene and other matters.
The first to be piloted is Chang'an City, especially the commercial dense areas of the east and west cities, which are the first to be built.
After the spread of chemical fertilizer, some businessmen also started the idea of chemical fertilizer, and there were many people and livestock in large households, which were all kept for their own use, which directly led to the fertilizer factory outside Chang'an City falling into a crisis of grabbing raw materials.
Now the basic output of the fertilizer plant is to meet the consumption of several townships in Lantian County, and the business has been impacted, and Yuanshan can only choose to optimize the product and gradually convert from soil fertilizer to produce real chemical fertilizer.
After the autumn harvest, the four miles, the five miles of the village households all went out to work with people to make money, after the promotion of the previous year, after the beginning of the spring, the gang of the pan kang has not been interrupted, the autumn harvest has just ended, the farmers began to work again.
The farmers of Wulizhuang can now bring back at least 50 wen to their homes every day, and the more can reach 2 or 300 wen, and the income is no less than that of skilled craftsmen.
Labor is busy, even the women of Wulizhuang are busy making matches, now the profit of matches has grown to 30 yuan a day, a large number of matches wholesale to several surrounding cities, especially after Luoyang turnover, sold to the north and south directions, the price is four or five yuan.
This is still thanks to Ma Zhou's strategy for the merchants, the sales volume has gradually increased, and the production pressure is very high.
In this way, matches are likely to increase the selling price, this is a planned thing, the sale of candles is also very profitable, Chang'an to Luoyang is a completely vacant market, let it be sold.
The candle business of the eldest grandson's family is definitely the best gift for gifts in Chang'an, especially for literati and ink writers, and candles began to be widely used in Chang'an, but they are still unaffordable for ordinary people.
The pulley carriage made by the Yuanjia workshop was welcomed by the merchants, especially several wealthy merchants who planted cotton, which can save a lot of time when going to cd, and the pulley carriage came in handy when transporting grain during the autumn harvest, so that the Lu blacksmith is now making pulley bearings every day and has no time to do anything else, so he also received several new apprentices, and he has some fame in the Chang'an blacksmith circle.
