From the gate of heaven

Chapter 136 [Large-scale sale of chemical fertilizers from another world, soaring luck]

Fengping County, Heishi Village Fertilizer Factory.

Early in the morning, the place became lively.

About 500 meters away from the two factories is a warehouse for storing fertilizers.

There is a large flat space in front of the warehouse, where many people come to buy fertilizers.

Some of these people were gentry who owned land locally or near Fengping County, some were miners at the Heishi Village Coal Mine, and relatives and friends of the same clan who were encouraged by their propaganda were all peasant families with land at home.

At this moment, in this area, in addition to the sound of machines running to generate electricity and produce fertilizer, there are more sounds from people coming here to buy fertilizer. Everyone is marveling at the power of industry in front of them and looking forward to buying fertilizer soon.

Among the common earth-stone and wooden structures of the Zhou Dynasty, the reinforced concrete structures of thermal power plants and fertilizer plants were so conspicuous.

However, there was a large army sent by Ji Kan, King of the East China Sea, to guard the two factories and mines. People could only watch from a distance, but could not approach the factories.

"Hello, folks, I'm Lin Ze."

Lin Ze climbed onto a high platform that had been built in advance in front of the warehouse and opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention.

With the blessing of his inner breath, his voice easily spread throughout the field.

In the past half month, Lin Ze celebrated the New Year in the main world, and of course he did not forget his relatives and friends in the other world.

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Ze returned, pretending to go back to his master's school to pay homage to his elders.

The New Year's gifts have been sent out in advance by his wife. At this time, he personally paid New Year's greetings to all the relatives and friends here one by one to close and maintain the relationship between the two parties.

This also makes Lin Ze just turn his attention back to the other world, without having to deal with some trivial matters.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

There were greetings from the crowd.

It was sparse at first, but soon became a large area.

Well, Lin Ze's title has been upgraded.

Not long ago, Eunuch Hua made it public in public, raising Lin Ze's title by two levels for his contribution of chemical fertilizers to agriculture.

Now he is an earl of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with the title of Fengping County Bo, the same as a third-grade official, and the title of Commander of the White Guards. His fiefdom is in Fengping County, and he enjoys a tax exemption of 1 acres of land. There is a tax exemption privilege for [-] people.

As for how to receive the order and how to express gratitude, they are all trivial details, but there is no need to mention them at this moment.

Seeing that the eyes of many people in the field were focused on him, Lin Ze continued with a smile: "Well, Happy New Year everyone, I have called everyone here today. Things are similar to what was announced before the New Year. Today's sale can increase the production of the fields. fertilizer."

"After using chemical fertilizers, it can increase the fertility of the land, turning the lower fields into upper fields, increasing the grain output by at least three to four hundred kilograms per mu."

"Fertilizer is priced at [-] cents per catty. One acre of land requires about [-] jins of fertilizer. If it is used in the field, a little more fertilizer needs to be sprinkled. In general, the cost of using chemical fertilizer per acre of land is one or two cents, and to increase production The food is worth more than two thousand cash."

"So, using chemical fertilizers is a good thing for everyone to win together."

"As you all saw just now, I, the Earl, relied on this fertilizer to get promoted, so you don't have to worry about the authenticity of this fertilizer. If you want to buy fertilizer, then go to the accountant over there to pay the money and get approval. strip."

"Then, just come to the warehouse to collect the fertilizer according to the batch receipt. If you don't have cash, you can also transport the grain directly to the granary at the fertilizer factory, and the price of the fertilizer will be deducted according to the grain price of six cents per kilogram."

"The fertilizer plant currently has [-] million kilograms of fertilizer reserves, which is enough to supply the entire Fengping County and several surrounding counties for agricultural use, so please feel free to buy."

Lin Ze briefly and concisely explained the matter of selling fertilizer at the fertilizer factory today.

They also took very considerate care of those peasant families who had no cash.

"Being able to increase the yield of the land is a great merit achieved by countless living people. Uncle Lin is truly a saint alive!"

Immediately, someone started to praise him.

There were also some farmers who were not good at words. At this time, their eyes filled with excitement and they kowtowed to Lin Ze.

These farmers know the importance of food all too well. Their whole family relies on the harvest in the fields to live. Many people have experienced relatives and friends starving to death, and many people voluntarily sold themselves into slaves in order to have enough to eat. .

If chemical fertilizers were really so effective, it would be a feat that countless people have accomplished.

According to common sense, everyone will be skeptical about a new thing.

But the fertilizers launched by Lin Ze are different. First, Lin Ze is already very reputable in the local area. His industrial coal mines, rail cars and escort agencies have made many families in several counties around Fengping County live a better life. To live a decent life by self-reliance.

This provides many jobs and countless feats of living people, which can bring huge prestige.

Second, the imperial court directly conferred the title of Earl on Lin Ze because of the fertilizer, which further endorsed the authenticity of the fertilizer. After all, in people's minds, the Zhou Dynasty, which allowed many people to live and work in peace and contentment, was still very credible.

There is also a third reason, which is that the news about chemical fertilizers was not released temporarily recently.

As early as the formal production of fertilizers began, this matter began to warm up. In addition to publicity among the basic coal mines in Linze, the power of the government was also mobilized. This led to the official opening of the fertilizer factory at this moment. So many people.

"You don't need to thank me. You have enough to eat by your own strength. This is something to be proud of."

Lin Ze smiled and reassured everyone, and then announced that the fertilizer plant was officially open for business.
-
Next to the warehouse, many accountants were sitting in a row behind the desk.

Lin Ze has never stopped recruiting and training accountants, so there will naturally be no problem in dealing with the newly opened fertilizer factory.

Many escorts transferred from Yueque Escort Bureau were maintaining the order of the scene at this moment. People who came to buy fertilizer were guided into a neat formation.

"Show me your name, place of origin, and land deed."

The accountant spoke, and across from him the dark-skinned and skinny old farmer spoke.

The old farmer had been taught rules by Li Zheng a long time ago, which were related to matters in the fields. No matter how stupid his brain was, he had learned and remembered the rules over and over again.

At this time, he did not write any ink, and directly stated his name and home address, and also showed his land deed to the accountant in front of him.

"Zhang Dahei lives in Zhangtun Village, Jiahe County. His family has a total of 5 acres of farmland, all of which are farmland. Each acre of land requires 350 kilograms of fertilizer. A total of [-] kilograms of fertilizer were purchased at a cost of [-] Wen coins and [-] taels of silver."

The accountant confirmed the information with the old farmer in front of him.

Fertilizer is an important tool that Lin Ze made in order to obtain good luck. It is impossible to allow these fertilizers to be monopolized by a few people. Therefore, customers are required to purchase as needed based on the land deed and are not allowed to hoard and resell.

The old farmer nodded repeatedly, promising to confirm that the information spoken by the accountant was correct. "Zhang Dahei, do you know the rules? After the grain is harvested, in addition to taxes and rations, the excess must be sold to the Zhiyuan Grain Store under Uncle Lin at the market price of six cents per catty. You Agree?"

At this time, the accountant made routine inquiries according to the procedure.

Lin Ze sells chemical fertilizers in order to stabilize the fate of many people and earn luck, and the grain he harvests is to stir up bigger troubles. Of course, the grains increased by chemical fertilizers must be collected for use in calming down border troubles, so as not to disorderly flow to the market.

An old farmer named Zhang Dahei also knew this rule, and it was no big deal to him.

Anyway, when selling grain, it’s not who you sell it to, so after the accountant spoke, Zhang Dahei continued to nod.

"Okay, let's pay the money. Are you ready with the receipt from Zhiyuan Gold Bank?"

"If you are not prepared, you can go exchange the receipt now. Did you see that over there? There is the office of Zhiyuan Gold Bank ten feet away."

the accountant asked last.

This regulation is to facilitate transactions and reduce the possibility of money being hacked.

Lin Ze requires that families who want to buy fertilizer need to send the prepared money and grain to Zhiyuan Gold Bank in advance to exchange it for a receipt of corresponding value.

The old farmer continued to nod. After he knew about the fertilizer, he and his family prepared the money and grain and exchanged them for receipts.

The accountant received the receipt, confirmed that there was no problem, and then began to write the approval slip.

After the accountant had written the approval note, Zhang Dahei gave the accountant a Zhiyuan Gold Bank exchange receipt that he had already prepared, then took the approval note from the accountant and went to the warehouse to collect the fertilizer.

In the fertilizer warehouse, there are three types of packages of fertilizers.

One is a [-]-pound package for upper fields, one is a [-]-pound package for middle fields, and the last one is a [-]-pound package for lower fields.

Zhang Dahei took the batch slip, checked with the warehouse manager, and received five [-]-pound bags of fertilizer.

In addition to receiving chemical fertilizers, the warehouse manager also explained to Zhang Dahei and other people around him the correct use of chemical fertilizers, and how to deal with the need to use organic fertilizers to solve the problem of soil compaction and restore soil fertility after using chemical fertilizers.

All the farmers listened carefully to these contents, after all, it was related to their livelihood.

Later, Zhang Dahei and his two sons loaded the fertilizer on his family's cart and started pushing it towards his home.

Along the way, Zhang Dahei could see officers and soldiers passing by on patrol from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Dahei would be afraid when he saw the officers and soldiers. He was afraid that these military masters would extort money if they disagreed with each other, and he was also afraid that the other party would be extremely careless and slander them as bandits to kill people and steal money.

But now, Zhang Dahei is not afraid, but feels at ease.

Because these officers and soldiers responded to Uncle Lin's request and specifically protected those who came to Fengping County to buy fertilizer.

Fertilizer is precious, it not only represents some money, but also represents the foundation of everything, food.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that someone will take risks and rob fertilizers.

After all, this thing can be used to grow elixirs.

The fact that the royal family was persuaded by Lin Ze not to cause trouble does not mean that some half-hearted forces in the private sector will not make them stupid.

At this moment, in Fengping County, the garrison officials in Fengping County are cooperating to maintain law and order, and when leaving Fengping County, they are protected by their local military.

The government also attaches great importance to agricultural matters. Lin Ze used his own prestige and combined with the government's own prestige to give a stern warning to the people below.

If something goes wrong, people will really be killed.
-
On a watchtower not far from the fertilizer factory, Lin Ze drank tea with Mr. Hua and Zhao Cheng, the elder of Mingyue Tower, and looked at the orderly operation of the fertilizer sales site below.

Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan actually wanted to come over, but they were also busy with the business that Lin Ze had given them, so they couldn't be there at this time.

As the fertilizers continued to be sold, Lin Ze could clearly see that the luck balance displayed on his Zhutianmen began to skyrocket.

"Uncle, in addition to announcing the decree, I want to ask you on behalf of Your Majesty when the chemical fertilizer will be used to grow elixirs."

When Hua Gonggong saw Lin Ze retracting his gaze, he asked carefully.

On the side, Zhao Cheng was also very concerned about this issue. He had previously received news about fertilizers from some Mingyuelou disciples who were helping the Yueque Escort Bureau in Fengping County, and wanted to buy fertilizers to grow elixirs.

But some time ago, Lin Ze kept making excuses to go back to the mountain gate and never showed up. So it was not until today that Zhao Cheng found the opportunity to discuss with Lin Ze the purchase of fertilizers and elixirs for planting in Mingyue Tower.

Originally, Zhao Cheng thought that since he had witnessed Lin Ze's marriage and Lin Ze had given him a New Year's gift, this matter would be simple and he could just mention it.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Lin Ze.

However, he still thought of the interests of the world and wanted everyone to have enough to hold him back. Zhao Cheng didn't know how to persuade Lin Ze to be accommodating.

"let me see."

Lin Ze did not answer immediately, and focused most of his energy on the two peerless masters in front of him to prevent them from sneak attacks on him.

Although the probability is low, it is not impossible.

While being on guard, I also allocated some energy and began to think about their demands.

Ji Kan once said that the current cultivated land area of ​​the Zhou Dynasty is 12 billion acres.

Because the population is increasing and land is still being cleared, all of these 12 billion acres of land can be considered as farmland. Each acre of land requires 70 kilograms of chemical fertilizer, and a total of 4200 million tons of chemical fertilizer is needed every year.

Excluding farmyard manure, it is estimated that at least 3000 million tons of chemical fertilizers for a year will be enough.

Then the fertility of the elixir is consumed. These elixirs basically require a large area to grow one plant, and it takes several years or even ten years to grow.

And basically after picking a magic medicine, the medicine field needs to be cultivated for two or three years before it can be used again. From this, it can be calculated that one mu of magic medicine field conservatively requires one thousand kilograms of fertilizer, and 5000 million acres of medicine field requires [-] million tons of fertilizer. .

Then calculate the chemical fertilizers needed in populated areas outside the Great Zhou Dynasty. In total, an annual output of [-] million tons may be needed to barely cover the entire world's chemical fertilizer use.

Based on the calculation of the lack of people's hearts, once something as useful as chemical fertilizer is produced on a large scale, people will inevitably double the number of farmland and medicinal fields, and by then the annual output of [-] million tons of chemical fertilizer will be used.

The figure of [-] million tons is basically the same as the main world's fertilizer production.

After calculating the expected total consumption, we will then calculate the speed of Linze's productivity expansion.
