Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 878 He is still changing the Ming Dynasty (please subscribe!)



Seeing that his nephew was speechless in embarrassment, the second uncle hurriedly drove the carriage to Huangzhuang. Both the Sharma horse and the dung cart belonged to Huangzhuang and were the collective assets of the village.

"Gou Sheng, if I remember correctly, you are 26 years old now, almost thirty, and your cousin's children are in elementary school now!"

Speaking of this, this is Zhao Zhenming's pain point.

Even though he has made the army his home these years, he has not even found a wife.

Then he ran to Beiyinzhou. He also looked down upon the Yin women there, and he also looked down upon the Japanese girls that His Majesty dragged from Japan to Beiyinzhou.

Zhao Zhenming's boss kept urging him to get married, but he couldn't find the one he liked in Beiyinzhou.

Instead, he took a Spanish white girl as a concubine.

Now he is raised in a commercial housing specially provided for the military in Xuanwu New District, Yingtian.

He dared not take it back to his hometown for fear of scaring his relatives.

I just hope that when I come back this time, I can find the woman I like.

I don’t know if Sichuan girls will look down on him with a broken leg.

In order to relieve the embarrassment, Zhao Zhenming looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Yingzuo, look what I'm doing. I have a girlfriend, and she's from Yingtian Cigarette Factory!"

puff!
Zhao Zhenming was hit hard again.

Indeed, under the background of the imperial court's encouragement of childbirth, Zhao Zhenming, who is still single despite having three children, does seem a bit unusual.

Daming also tried his best, but Zhao Zhenming's vision was too high.

In fact, girls from the Ming Dynasty, Korea, and Japan were all willing to marry Ming soldiers, especially military officers.

Especially those Japanese cherry blossom girls and Korean maids, for the naturalization quota of a Ming citizen, any beautiful girl was chosen at will.

Girls from Daming are relatively picky.

If he looks upright, he hopes to find an officer, otherwise he will be in a technical branch such as the Air Force or Navy.

To be honest, Zhao Zhenming is a serious battalion commander. Although he has retired, being a lecturer in the military academy is still a very promising job.

After all, he will be the teacher of many Sichuan officers in the future.

What Ming Dynasty emphasizes is that one day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father.

If something happens to Zhao Zhenming in the future, his students will definitely not stand idly by.

Although his leg is broken, there is basically no big problem in the local marriage market of Ming Dynasty.

"Hey, do you want a wife? Otherwise, I will choose one for you."

With that said, the second uncle took out the Beiyinzhou tribute cigar sent by Zhao Zhenming. He hesitated for a while but refused to light it, and replaced it with the ordinary cigar he bought.

After taking a puff of cigarette, the second uncle said: "We in Sichuan used to be depopulated by the Tatars, but now the court has moved a lot of people from various provinces to Sichuan. Our villages near Chengdu Prefecture now have no shortage of people! "

"By the way, in order for us to have babies, the imperial court specially brought many women from Korea and Japan, saying that they would be our concubines and have babies!"

"No, your uncle Hu'er is an old bachelor in his late forties, and he just married a beautiful Korean wife not long ago!"

Zhao Zhenming nodded.

Uncle Hu is an honest man and is steadfast in his work. An old bachelor like him usually cannot get a young girl from the Ming Dynasty as his wife. If a Korean girl marries him and has a Ming Dynasty household registration, she will be promoted.Korea is so poor, even poorer than Japan.

The girl is finally out of trouble, and she is not a concubine.

Zhao Zhenming quickly changed the topic. He didn't want to talk about marriage anymore. It gave him a headache!
Zhao Zhenming stayed in Zhaojiacun for half a month, and the village in his memory had really changed.

Most of the thatched adobe houses in the past have been converted into brick and tile houses, and even glass is used for windows.

The once dark lobby of the second uncle's house became bright and bright. There was a portrait of His Majesty Zhu Kezang holding corn in one hand and sweet potatoes in the other, showing a bright smile with eight teeth.

The children in the village were playing and making noise, but when they came to the portrait, they would all whisper in a low voice. They could only quietly tell His Majesty their wish, "I want a box of White Rabbit toffees for the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Zhenming suddenly discovered that the ancient and memory-filled hometown behind him was blooming with new vitality because of His Majesty Zhu Kezang.

He changed the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Kezang was also doing things to change the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

In the Ming Dynasty Royal Chemistry Laboratory, Zhu Kezang seemed quite excited with the familiar "chemical smell".

Although the nitrogen content of ammonia is very low, from the perspective of future generations, this kind of industrial production is highly polluting and inefficient. After all, the nitrogen content of ammonia is too low and even contains a large amount of tar, which seriously exceeds the standard. .

But in this era, this is the best nitrogen fertilizer that can be produced.

"Mr. Dingjiu (Mei Wending's name), this is the taste. Don't underestimate this water. It is this ammonia water that is added with the sulfur residue left over from sulfur refining to get ammonia sulfate. This is a good fertilizer. If my estimate is good, thirty to forty kilograms of ammonium sulfate can be extracted from every hundred kilograms of sulfur residue. Applying about 15 kilograms of ammonium sulfate per mu of land should increase the yield by about 4%."

After Zhu Kezang explained, he seemed very happy, and then he directed the workers to start producing "ammonium sulfate" using local methods.

This ammonium sulfate production method is a popular local method in the 60s and [-]s. It is first calcined, oxidized and filtered with sulfur slag, then added with ammonia water, and then concentrated and precipitated.

The production method is very simple, and the raw materials are waste materials from iron and sulfur plants.

A few hours later, when the first batch of home-made ammonium sulfate with a pungent smell was produced, even though the quantity was small, Zhu Kezang still seemed quite excited. He looked at Mei Wending and said.

"Mr. Dingjiu, look, it is the first package of fertilizer in the world!"

When speaking, Zhu Kezang's tone seemed a little excited.

"With chemical fertilizers, it is no longer a legend that ordinary land can harvest twice a year, and more abundant fertilizers can greatly increase the harvests of ordinary people and state-owned farms. Just such a small bag of chemical fertilizers is equivalent to tens of thousands of kilograms of soil fertilizer."

"Your Majesty, with this chemical artifact, I am invincible in the world!"

After hearing this, Mei Wending was also very excited.

"Mr. Dingjiu, this is just the beginning!"

With the success of nitrogen fertilizer research, Ming Dynasty began to study phosphate fertilizer!
Because guano is a natural phosphate fertilizer, but with the mining over the years, the resource of guano is also close to drying up, and Ming Dynasty is in urgent need of new phosphate fertilizer.

Fortunately, in the winter of 1700, a breakthrough was made in phosphate fertilizer. Through the mining of phosphate rock, the first batch of phosphate fertilizer was produced at an acceptable cost.

Of course, this year, the Ming Dynasty Royal Chemistry Laboratory also had other research results: soda ash and chemical dyes.

The emergence of soda ash and chemical dyes has given textile factories affiliated to state-owned and imperial textile enterprises a great advantage. In the past, Ming Dynasty used natural dyes, which were relatively expensive.

The emergence of chemical dyes has greatly reduced the cost of fuel. At the same time, dip-dyed cotton is more durable and has higher added value.

Ming Dynasty is really going to be invincible!
