Chapter 151: Guangjian toilet and soil nitrate extraction

Heidel, as the earliest group of old courtiers who followed Marin, was also a college student in the Middle Ages. He was excited and rushed to the news that he was appointed as the prime minister of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg.

Because, Marin had already trained him as a prime minister. It's just that Jeffrey is still there, and doing a good job, and Marin has no reason to change Jeffrey to Hyder. As it happened, Marin took control of Oldenburg, and simply sent Haider to be prime minister.

However, before setting off to take office in Oldenburg, Heidel found Marin, and asked Marin to allocate a batch of manure processing fertilizers, go with him to Oldberg, and set up several fertilizer processing in the local area. field.

As an old courtier who followed the Malin mix during the period of Texel Island, Heidel certainly knew the secret of high grain production in East Friesland. It is nothing more than to process the manure into fertilizer, and then the grain will be harvested.

However, knowing to know, Heidel, and a group of old men who first followed Marin, did not know how to process the fertilizer.

Marin is also savvy. After several months of sun drying and air drying, the feces almost have no smell. Moreover, the processed fertilizer block does not burn seedlings. If the feces are applied directly into the field, it is easy to burn seedlings.

In fact, Heidel and other old officials actually tried to apply manure directly as fertilizer in the field in private. But as a result, the seedlings were burnt yellow ...

Even if some tests are successful, the effect is far behind the compound fertilizer produced by the fertilizer processing plant controlled by Marin. After all, the fertilizer produced in the fertilizer processing plant contains not only feces but also potassium salts and apatite. Of course, when Aaun ’s apatite mine was not obtained in the early days, Marin added fishermen to kill the fish bones or eliminated the unpalatable fish and dried the fish meal. However, collecting fish bones and fish meal is too laborious. After obtaining Ayur, Marin added apatite directly.

However, because the security work was done well, Marin's men knew that only Keller had potassium and apatite in the fertilizer. Because, the potash mine in the Harz Mountains and the apatite mine in Ayoun, he sent people to take care of the mining and transportation. As for the others, even Schwartz did not understand the real secret of fertilizer.

In fact, precisely because of this, Frenzberg, who has actually worked for the emperor, has never given up Marin and directly put himself in the arms of the emperor. This is because his enclosure in Lyle County also needed fertilizer from Marin's fertilizer plant.

Frenzberg originally planned to switch to the emperor's side completely. However, in the manor that the emperor gave him, he tested the direct use of manure and found that the seedlings burned. Moreover, even part of the field that does not burn seedlings, the yield per mu is only about 200 pounds, which is more than half that of the manor in East Friesland. Therefore, he did not think of leaving Marin completely. As a bonus, Marin will also send people to transport a batch of compound fertilizers in sacks every year for use in the estate of Frensberg in the Principality of Tyrol in western Austria.

……

Heidel is now going to work as an official in the Old State of Oldenburg. He naturally hopes to achieve results. Moreover, the farmland of Oldenburg, without compound fertilizers, must still be as low as the original yield. To this end, before going to office, he specifically asked Marin to send veteran serf craftsmen to collect manure from the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg and use "secret method" to make fertilizer. In this way, the farmland of the Oldenburg country will be harvested, and he, the prime minister, will have more money to use, and his political performance will be better.

Heard Heidel ’s request, Marin was also surprised-he almost forgot, the Oldenburg, the Principality of Schleswig, including the Jever region, has not yet established a fertilizer processing plant ...

So he quickly mobilized 1,000 people from the 3,000 serfs who were responsible for manufacturing fertilizers in the six major fertilizer processing plants under his personal control, and sent them to the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg, the Jever region and the Principality of Schleswig to build 20 fertilizer processing plants directly under its leadership.

Although there are only 50 people in each fertilizer processing plant, it is not difficult, but the fertilizer processing technology is not difficult. These 50 veterans can take the apprentices and bring hundreds of honest local serfs as apprentices to form a new fertilizer processing plant.

In fact, it is now appropriate to establish a new fertilizer processing plant. This is because it takes several months to collect the manure and allow it to dry out and dry in the air to dissipate most of the manure smell in the fertilizer block.

It was just right that the crops of the Oldenburg, Jever region and the Principality of Schleswig could not catch up this year. Because, before long, the autumn harvest is coming. However, a few months later, when the first batch of fertilizers were produced, it was just in time for the spring tillage in March and April next year.

Will use the compound fertilizer doped with potassium salt and apatite until next spring, and next autumn, the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig will also be full of grain. By then, those newly added land will have the conditions to recruit more immigrants.

However, of course, to build 20 new fertilizer farms, Marin will certainly not issue an order, saying that I want to build a fertilizer processing farm. In that case, it is easy for other countries to discover this secret, and may jointly force Marin to surrender the fertilizer secret.

Under the public circumstances, Marin will issue a decree on the pretext of personal and environmental hygiene, forcing residents to prohibit urination. If necessary, you must go to the toilet.

To this end, Marin stipulates-in all cities of the three princes, there must be at least one public toilet on each street!

Each community in the city will also build a large public toilet. At the same time, the promotion of toilets in the east in the city requires people to go to public toilets during the day to use the toilets at night. The next morning, the feces in the toilets are poured into the septic tanks of the public toilets.

Moreover, every morning, when the city gate is opened, the manure of the fertilizer processing plant will arrange for an oxcart to come over and use a large wooden barrel to pull the excrement from the public toilet out of the city and send it to the large manure pit of the fertilizer plant.

Large septic tanks are used to collect nitrate. These manures are sent to multiple large septic tanks. After one month, the soil on the side of the septic tank will be taken to extract soil nitrate. The manure, after cultivating the nitrite, will be shoveled away and placed in another pond, where it will be mixed with the potassium and apatite delivered by Kohler. After mixing, it will be dried immediately, and then exposed to a hard dung block.

Then, these compound fertilizer blocks will be sent to the rain shelter and air-dried to shed the odor of feces. A few months later, these fertilizer blocks had no smell and became a mysterious fertilizer that no one knew. At the current level of science and technology, the discipline of chemistry has not yet developed. Even if this fertilizer is stolen, others will not understand what it is ...

The outside of the fertilizer factory is guarded by soldiers loyal to Marin, and a tall city wall will be built to protect the secret of the fertilizer farm. If the fertilizer farm is besieged by the enemy, in the absence of hope, these soldiers will directly kill the compound fertilizer serfs in all fertilizer farms to keep secrets. The soldiers stationed in the fertilizer farm are not allowed to inquire about the secrets of fertilizer processing. In this way, even if the fertilizer farm is attacked, no secret will be obtained.

In addition to ordering the construction of a large number of public toilets in the city, Marin also ordered the construction of public toilets at the downwind to collect feces. Of course, the name is still for "personal and environmental hygiene" ...

When Marin ordered the full construction of public toilets in the Principality of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig and promoted the use of toilets, all the unsuspecting people were dumbfounded-you Marin loves cleanliness, People are not allowed to defecate anywhere? Is the tube too wide?

However, Marin insisted that all adults who found to urinate anywhere would be fined 1 Finney ...

At this time, the average person's salary is only 2 Finney a day. A fine of 1 Finney is equivalent to half a person's wages. Such a high fine, no one is willing to pay ... Therefore, many people can only choose to give in ...

In fact, if not afraid of causing opposition from the church, Marin also wanted to build public baths in every area. Along the way, Marin found that people in the Principality of Schleswig and Oldenburg also did not like to take a bath.

However, no bathing was advocated by the church people, and Marin did not dare to publicly advocate bathing. Otherwise, it will be considered heretics. Only when his father-in-law becomes a pope will he dare to promote public baths in his country ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~.

As of now, Marin and Angela lead by example and take a shower in person. Doing so would at least make your own courtiers and their men scramble to imitate. For a few years, people in East Friesland have become accustomed to taking hot baths often.

Especially those nobles and soldiers, if they don't take a bath and stink, Marin will directly express their disgust. In such a big environment, those nobles, officials, and generals in the army gradually developed a good habit of bathing.

As for the newly controlled Principality of Schleswig and Oldenburg, that is not in a hurry, let's go slowly. However, building toilets on a large scale will not touch the sensitive nerves of the church, but it can be done with great fanfare. In this way, it is also convenient for the collection and processing of feces ...

Among them, after the feces were collected, the first round was used to extract nitrite, which was also Marlin's thoughtful decision. In the last siege of Copenhagen, Marin did not order hundreds of artillery to bombard the city walls together, but was reluctant to consume gunpowder.

Because Marin's gunpowder is mainly made from saltpeter purchased from India. The fleet went to India, and it took nearly two years to go back and forth, which was too inconvenient.

Therefore, Marin ordered the addition of a process for extracting nitrite at the fertilizer processing plant. In this way, he can also get a lot of soil nitrate every year for the configuration of gunpowder.

Only with enough gunpowder, the army under Marin's army can use the line up shots and artillery to bomb with confidence. Otherwise, the consumption of gunpowder alone will make Marin's advanced tactics unavailable ...

In addition, Marin will also set up a large number of nitrate collectors in the Principality of Schleswig and Oldenburg, responsible for collecting nitrate near private toilets and by the stables and cowsheds to increase the source of gunpowder ...
