Chapter 196 Social Discussion
"Zhiyuan is confused!"

"Because China is a small peasant system, the land is operated by small landlords, and there is no large-scale organization. The foreigners have long wanted to fulfill their aggressive ambitions, but there is no place to invest. Zhiyuan is an accomplice, an accomplice, and a guide!"

"The imperialists' policy of aggression in a disguised form of external peace and internal danger is even more powerful than Japan's hard work! What is this policy? It is the policy of promoting chemical fertilizers!"

In Sijiu City, in a certain courtyard, the conservative "old people" headed by Gu Hongming were sitting around the stove.

Liu Shipei rubbed his hands, and said solemnly: "In my opinion, Cheng Zhiyuan is using the banner of revitalizing agriculture to attract foreign capital and deduct some hard-earned money from the common people's fingernails. At that time, it will only strengthen the foreigners. , fatten the foreign firm, and suffer for our own people."

Huang Kan pointed up at the sky with both fingers, regretting: "I thought that the reason why Zhiyuan went astray was because he got too close to those so-called new culture infants and was contaminated with filth. It's a pity, a pity, sad!"

Yan Fu said earnestly: "Right now, those of us must actively speak out and prevent foreigners from extending their feet to the west of the East China Sea, so as to preserve the integrity of our country's agricultural elements."

Liu Shipei nodded: "Old Yan is right, but if we want to preserve the integrity of our country's agricultural elements, we must call on everyone to ban the export of organic fertilizers such as bean cakes, not to use chemical fertilizers, and not to be traitors!"

Huang Kan echoed: "Well said, I will draft an article when I go back, and in conjunction with our Beijing Domestic Products Maintenance Association, I will write to the Nationalist Government demanding severe punishment for those who sell and buy without permission!"

"it is good."

"I agree."

"support."

Just when everyone was discussing, Gu Hongming, who was reclined on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and said unceremoniously:
"Confused, ignorant, ignorant!"

Huang Kan is full of blood: "Why did Mr. Gu say this? We can't let it go if we don't express our opinions when we are discussing national affairs. We can't just return bad words to each other. Chen Zhongfu didn't defeat us, but we ourselves began to disintegrate from within. gone."

"Huh!" Gu Hongming snorted coldly, handed the blanket covering his body to the servant, then took a sip from the bong, stood up and looked around the crowd, waved his hands and said slowly:
"Sun Tzu once said, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemy but know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle.

And you have been arguing and arguing, and you still haven’t figured it out. Cheng Zhiyuan is promoting chemical fertilizers. There is no doubt about this. He himself published a signed article in his "Science" magazine.

But he never said that this chemical fertilizer is purchased from abroad, right?
ah?Everyone, Gu Mou is right! ? "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Huang Kan's momentum was obviously weakened, but it was not easy to admit defeat directly: "Chemical fertilizers are not piled up with pig manure, cow manure, and chicken manure, and wait for the fermentation to finish. The knowledge in it is profound."

Gu Hongming walked up to Huang Kan with his hands behind his back, shook his upper body, and stared at him: "You also know that this thing is not as simple as eating and dressing, but you also have to understand that a talented person who can be favored by Mr. He must have his charm."

Huang Kan was already at a loss, and with the pressure of Gu Hongming's status, how dare he continue to be stubborn, turned his head away and said in a low voice: "Chemical fertilizers are related to rural revitalization and national revitalization, you and I still need to be cautious."

Gu Hongming looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "How could I not know this? With the decline of the countryside, the social economy is bound to be on the verge of bankruptcy."

Before everyone could react, Gu Hongming waved his hand towards the servant. The servant understood and presented the materials he had prepared.

Gu Hongming picked up the document and said word by word: "This thing was given to me by Mr. Cai last night. He said he wanted us to help Zhiyuan. At that time, he still refused. You can't even speak the language of a child, how can you help this late star?

But after receiving the materials, I found out that it turned out to be agriculture. I couldn’t allow myself to be indifferent to such a major issue related to the country. The only way to revive my own agriculture is to strive for production. "

Liu Shipei was puzzled and said, "Everyone understands this truth, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered together."

"I haven't finished my words yet, and there are other things to come later." Gu Hongming raised the article in his hand and said, "It mentioned the improvement of agricultural output. The fundamental method has two ends, one is to improve varieties, The second is to promote the application of various fertilizers, and among the two, the issue of fertilizers is the top priority.

As for the reason, it is described in great detail, and it would be a bit long-winded for me to read it directly, but you should see for yourself. "

Huang Kan impatiently took the document, ready to browse quickly, but when he saw the author's name, he was a little dazed: "Cheng Nuo! Cheng Zhiyuan?"

"Besides him, who else can make Mr. Cai care so much? Even Hu Shizhi's kid is nothing more than that." Gu Hongming shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "The supply of natural fertilizers is insufficient, and farmers use chemical fertilizers illegally. Instead, it caused various diseases, and Zhiyuan stood up."

Liu Shipei sighed: "Oh, I don't agree with others, but I have to obey Zhiyuan. Young people are not only not proud of their achievements, but continue to work in silence. Last time I was able to make alkali, this time I also do chemical fertilizers." I like him very much.

But having said that, the steamed buns made by Chinese soda ash are really white, I can eat three of them in one meal without any side dishes..."

"Eat, eat, you know how to eat. You don't know how many ordinary people in our country can't afford to eat!" Huang Kan turned his head, a little hating that iron can't make steel.

"Hey, why are you scolding me? I don't know why!" Liu Shipei replied, "If you have the ability, you should do something."

"How do you know that I just said, wait, I will write a few articles immediately when I go back to support Zhiyuan!" Huang Kan did not show any weakness.

Liu Shipei was taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed and scolded: "Should I praise you for being able to stretch and bend, or should I call you shameless?"

Gu Hongming hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, the documents brought by Mr. Cai are passed on to each other, and when we go back, we should think about how we can fight this battle in the future. It has a great and huge relationship with the national economy and people's livelihood. There is a need to discuss..."

……

If the debate on chemical fertilizers in the western world is mostly based on the perspectives of natural science and technology, economics and management, and science and practice, then the debate on chemical fertilizers in the Republic of China has more complicated social connotations .

For people in the Republic of China, the issue of chemical fertilizers was not only an issue in the field of agronomy and agriculture, but also a political issue, a national defense issue, and an economic issue.

Especially at the request of Cheng Nuo, Cai Yuanpei first published an article on chemical fertilizers, naming and supporting Cheng Nuo's Zhonghua brand, which directly attracted the attention of the public opinion circle.

Later, Chen Zhongfu, Li Dazhao and others also began to publicize the benefits of chemical fertilizers in "New Youth", and by the way, publicized the various benefits of Mr. Sai.

The conservatives headed by Gu Hongming, while promoting the advantages of chemical fertilizers, emphasized the need to boycott foreign products and preserve the country's agricultural elements, which also aroused major social repercussions.

Several forces went on, which completely triggered an upsurge of discussion on chemical fertilizers, and conceived the future of China's chemical industry and agriculture in their respective views.

Of course, the more voices, the more complex the tone.

The subjects participating in the debate are diverse, and the perspectives of the arguments are different.The parties involved in the debate have different positions, and the appeals behind them are also different.

Foreign businessmen claim that the purpose of selling and selling chemical fertilizers is to "expect Chinese farmers to increase production through the use of high-quality fertilizers, so as to achieve economic prosperity and solve people's livelihood problems as soon as possible." The difference between China and the West, and even a vague idea of ​​promoting better foreign products.

However, its ultimate goal is to expand the sales of foreign chemical fertilizers and pursue profits, regardless of the domestic status quo.

Chambers of commerce and domestic product maintenance associations highly praise chemical fertilizers. Out of deep concern for the country and the people, they also care about "the sharp drop in sales of domestic products", worrying about the consequences of the impact of foreign products, and it is difficult to contain them.

Some scholars in the field of agronomy believe that now that China is short of fertilizers, the use of chemical fertilizers is within the scope of advantages and no disadvantages. Not only do we not need to debate whether they should be domestic products, but we should vigorously promote the use of chemical fertilizers.

For a while, there were different opinions, and there were all kinds of opinions, but there was one thing in common, that is, to support the use of chemical fertilizers for agricultural fertilization.

Cheng Nuo, who was in the center of the storm, packed his things by himself like a normal person.

Just at this time, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, holding a large stack of letters in his hand, and spread them all on Cheng Nuo's desk with a clatter.

Without even raising his head, Cheng Nuo knew that the person who came was Jiang Jiangzuo: "How about it, all the letters you wrote to me today are here?"

Panting heavily, Jiang Jiangzuo drank up a cup of herbal tea on the table, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and said, "Should... it should be here, tell me, why don't we just make a fertilizer?" , it won’t take such a big fight, if it attracts the attention of the public, a leader today and a committee member tomorrow, how can we deal with it?”

Cheng Nuo put the folded clothes in the suitcase, squatted down and said, "You've already said that there's such a big battle, did the public notice it?"

Jiang Jiangzuo was puzzled: "We know that they are uneasy and kind, aren't we rushing to deliver them?"

Cheng Nuo threw down the clothes in his hands, stood up and said solemnly: "Because of chemistry, it is not all beneficial and harmless. If the curium sulfate we produce is not used scientifically, once the organic matter in the soil is exhausted, the soil will become hard. The lumps, the wind is blocked, the water is impermeable, and the microorganisms cannot reproduce.

This piece of land is about to become a barren land. We are a thorough farming civilization. The quality of the soil is very important. It can be said that it is the lifeblood of all the people. What will the subsistence farmers do for a living? "

Jiang Jiangzuo hesitated: "Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution..."

Cheng Nuo directly interrupted: "Okay, let's put this aside first, and I will ask you, if you are an illiterate farmer and have never seen what real fertilizer looks like, how can you tell which is which? Real fertilizer, which one is counterfeit fertilizer?"

Jiang Jiangzuo couldn't believe it: "Can this be fake?"

Cheng Nuo nodded: "Aren't there still a few people who earn unconscionable money?"

Counterfeit spending of such things has been going on since the beginning of the Republic of China. If it doesn't work, forget it, and it will be a dull loss.

But if not only does not increase production, but also reduces the production of crops, this will lack great virtue.

So Cheng Nuo wanted to use social discussions to attract the public's attention. At that time, he could promote the public's management and research on chemical fertilizers, and introduced a series of chemical fertilizer management policies, which would be of great benefit to the popularization of fertilizer knowledge and the establishment of scientific fertilization methods.

Seeing that Jiang Jiangzuo was still thinking, Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Don't be so depressed. If our plan goes well, the effect of the curium sulfate produced in advance will be relatively limited. I once asked Guo Shouchun, who studies seeds, to do an experiment. It is to compare the difference between farm manure and chemical fertilizer.

Saying it might scare you. "

Jiang Jiangzuo asked curiously: "How to say, chemical fertilizer far exceeds farm manure? Isn't this expected."

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile, and said mysteriously: "The growth of plant stems and leaves has obvious effects, but from a comprehensive perspective such as harvest, it is still slightly inferior to agricultural fertilizers, which shows that traditional Chinese farm fertilizers still have certain advantages. "

Jiang Jiangzuo was a little confused: "Then since there is no advantage, why do we have to work so hard, why don't we just jump over to study acid?"

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "However, in terms of cost control and time efficiency, chemical fertilizers already have an advantage, and farmyard manure is far from meeting the needs of agricultural production."

Jiang Jiangzuo asked curiously, "So what do you mean?"

A light flashed in Cheng Nuo's eyes: "Of course, we should focus on traditional farm fertilizers, supplemented by modern chemical fertilizers, and embark on a localized path of self-production and effective monitoring."

Especially at the moment when curium sulfate is used as the main fertilizer, farmyard manure should not be belittled.

After all, no matter how cheap it is, the cost of chemical fertilizers is there, and it is impossible to start a business at a loss.

In the final analysis, Cheng Nuo wanted to use publicity to completely throw out the concept of chemical fertilizers, which would save future promotion costs.

It can also cooperate with the local government to introduce more scientific and professional fertilization experience, so as to prevent the people from being deceived, and the hard work of the whole year is in vain.

Of course, in addition to this, Cheng Nuo also intends to enter the construction period of the national chemical industry, and has since started the process of "chemicalizing" China's agriculture.

Make sure that every achievement of the Academy of Sciences is used by the people, and also set an example for other departments of the Academy of Sciences.

"Let's do this first. I've packed up all my things for going to Sichuan. How about it, Mr. Liang Ren, did you invite me to go with you?"
