Chapter 255 The Father of Chemistry

"The Marshal has served as the patrol envoy. Whatever he does in the future, it will be justified. It is indeed a good thing!" Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Prime Minister Duan is quite open-minded and was able to agree. I thought he would continue

Are you withholding it or not?"

"It's a matter of course. Duan Qirui is not a fool. The finances and military affairs of the three provinces have been unified. They have become a group and cannot be separated at all. It's just a matter of favor."

When Yang Yuting said this, he looked at Zhang Tinglan and said with a smile: "It's all my humble words. I have an idea. Even if I don't agree, I have to agree."

"The commander-in-chief is well received by everyone, and it is a matter of course. I dare not take credit for it."

The young marshal is getting married, the old marshal is getting promoted, and all the people in the army are excited. Especially when the autumn wind is picking up and the harvest is coming. This year is the first year to promote the farm and vigorously immigrate to the fields. How much harvest can be achieved?

As a result, no one has the right score in mind.

Just in time for a break, Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yuting and others heard that the rice harvest at Zhang Tinglan's manor was about to happen, so they came one after another to see how the harvest was going and whether it was worth promoting in the three northeastern provinces.

Several people came to the fields. Wang Yongjiang looked at the neat rice fields. The breeze blew and the rice waves rolled. It seemed that they could smell the fragrance of rice, which made people intoxicated.

Wang Yongjiang looked very happy, nodded and said: "I have to admit, this is the first time I know that rice can be grown in the three northeastern provinces. It seems that the harvest can be much greater than that of sorghum!" Wang Yongjiang squatted on the ground and stretched out his hand to weigh it.

The heavy ears of rice showed a surprised smile on his face.

Yang Yuting also picked off one, put it in his mouth, bit it, and nodded: "It's very true. This year is going to be a good harvest year. I'd like to ask you, how much do you estimate the yield per mu can be?"

"It won't be too little. It can at least exceed 500 jins, or even reach 600 jins!"

When Wang Yongjiang heard this number, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, his breathing became rapid, and he looked in disbelief: "I am sorry, are you kidding me? This is more than four times more than sorghum. The yield of rice can

Is it so amazing?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "These rice are all made with chemical fertilizers. They are considered experimental fields, and the yield is much higher than others. It's only one hundred acres. It would be good if the other rice can exceed three hundred kilograms!"

"

The crops are all dependent on fertilizer. At the beginning of planting rice, Zhang Tinglan bought some chemical fertilizers. The main purpose was to serve as a reference and put real examples in front of everyone. Let everyone in Fengtian see it.

The power of modern agriculture.

Don't look at the fact that many people in later generations have criticized chemical fertilizers and pesticides. That's because they are full. If they are hungry, do you think they have any excuses?

Sure enough, Wang Yongjiang has been completely shocked. Using chemical fertilizers can double the output. This is simply amazing. If all the land is used, doesn't it mean that the number of people to be fed will be doubled!

"I would like to ask, what is the price of this fertilizer? Can it be imported in large quantities? Are there any difficulties in promoting it in Fengtian?"

Zhang Tinglan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Tiegong, one-third of the extra harvest from each mu of land must be used to buy chemical fertilizers, and chemical fertilizers are different from other things. It takes dozens of kilograms per mu of land.

Hundreds of kilograms, or even more. If we purchase in large quantities, the great powers will definitely increase the price. Ordinary people cannot afford it, so it would be better to open up more wasteland."

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. The cost of using chemical fertilizers was indeed too high, and the common people would definitely not be able to bear it. But the harvest was also real, and Wang Yongjiang couldn't help but be tempted: "In my opinion, using large amounts of chemical fertilizers is

The inevitable trend in the future is that relying solely on soil strength and manure will not work!"

"That's right, Mr. Tiegong. If a person's excrement and urine are collected for a year and decomposed into manure, the effect is actually about the same as two pounds of chemical fertilizer. There is no comparison between the two. If you want to grow food, you have to use it.

Chemical fertilizers are what the great powers rely on to achieve food and clothing, and they can even export large amounts of food!"

"Well, the amount of land is limited after all, and the cost of imported fertilizers is too high. It seems that we can only produce it ourselves. Is it difficult to produce fertilizers? Can we do it in a short time?"

"If you want to make chemical fertilizers, you must first have raw materials and supporting chemical plants that can produce sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. The most important thing is to have ammonia synthesis technology, which is the main raw material for fertilizers. The most mature technology is Germany.

!”

"I would like to ask, can you consider introducing some technology? The effect of chemical fertilizers on increasing production is so obvious, it doesn't matter how much we pay!"

"Mr. Tiegong, it is necessary to find opportunities to introduce it. However, the demand for chemical fertilizers is too large. It is definitely not possible to just import equipment. You have to produce it yourself. In fact, the equipment is not complicated. The most important thing is to have high temperature and high pressure.

In the final analysis, the device is a matter of material. In addition, this material has another function. I wonder if you have thought of it?"

High temperature and high pressure? Yang Yuting seemed to have thought of something: "Im sorry, do you mean it can be used to make a cannon? It also has to withstand high temperature and high pressure!"

"Yes, it's cannons. The great powers have strong ships and powerful guns, advanced weapons, and people's livelihood is much better than ours. That's why industrial technology has two sides of the same coin. It can not only bring powerful force, but also promote earth-shaking changes in other industries.

It is normal for the common people to live a better life!"

Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang were both smart people, and they all listened thoughtfully. At this time, since the Opium War, the Chinese people have been thinking about why the Celestial Kingdom has fallen behind and why it has been bullied by others.

Some people thought that it was because of backward armaments, so they built factories and developed the navy. As a result, after the First World War, the Chinese began to be superstitious about the Western system. They believed that only by learning from their system could China become rich and strong. This resulted in a large number of people who fell in love with the Western system.

Under the feet of foreigners.

He even advocates total Westernization, abandoning everything and wanting nothing. In fact, in Zhang Tinglan’s view, China’s culture accumulated over five thousand years is countless times more sophisticated and complex than the West. This does not mean that the Chinese are any better than the Westerners.

, but we have a rich heritage that has almost never been cut off.

China has countless historical materials alone, and they are all trustworthy. Westerners even regard books such as the Bible and ancient Greek mythology as historical research. The so-called humanistic spirit, freedom and equality, democracy and the rule of law are also not lacking in China.

Of course, some people think that China's long history has accumulated too much dross in its culture, which has dragged down the country. Therefore, it has fallen behind the West. But if you carefully measure it, there is not much dross in Western culture. Take their churches as an example.

Isn't it the same as harboring dirt?

In the final analysis, the backwardness of the Chinese people is the backwardness of the industrial production methods. Other cultural and institutional things are incidental to the basis of industrialization, such as clothes, hats and other decorations, which are not the core of the problem at all.

Those who reflect on culture are crying in the wrong grave. In other words, they have never thought about the reasons. As the saying goes, poverty breeds treachery, while wealth breeds conscience. It was Westerners who got rich first, and then they became elegant and wealthy.

It has become a culture and has also attracted countless admiration.

Then some people may ask why many factories were set up in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the result was that it did not make the country stronger. On the contrary, it was defeated by Japan. Doesn't this prove that just setting up factories is not enough?

This indeed proves that factories alone are not enough, but it does not mean that we must learn from Western culture. On the contrary, it means that the Manchus did not understand the core of industrialization!

Industrialization is not a dead thing, but an organic life form. Technology needs continuous progress, and different factories and industries must cooperate with each other to form a complete industrial layout. Only in this way can the power of industrialization be exerted, and those factories established by the Manchu Qing Dynasty

, too scattered. There is no pattern at all.

Moreover, the Manchu Qing Dynasty ignored the cultivation of talents. The existing industries did not have the ability to self-renew and develop. They were just superficial. It was not surprising that they were defeated by the Japanese.

In later generations, after China's industrial layout has been fully completed and its production capacity has hit new highs, it has become the world's factory. Will Japan still be China's rival? And as China becomes stronger, Chinese culture will have influence. What is fundamental is obvious.

.

“I’d like to say, after hearing what you said, have you figured out the focus of the next investment?” Yang Yuting said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Europe is still at war. It is not easy to get the ammonia industry from Germany, and the materials cannot be solved, so it cannot be promoted on a large scale. But I think we can start in other areas, such as the chemical industry.

The chemical industry is not only needed for the production of fertilizers, but also for the production of arms, but this aspect is almost blank in Fengtian!"

"Idiot, you never aim without aim. Now that you have said this, you have a goal, right?"

"Mr. Tieguan has a sharp eye!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Fan Xudong established Jiuda Refined Salt Company in Tanggu. This Mr. Fan graduated from the Chemistry Department of Kyoto Imperial University in Japan. He has good knowledge and established Jiuda Salt Company.

The Refined Salt Company is the first refined salt factory in China. If we can attract him to invest in Fengtian, our chemical industry will have a bright future!"

Zhang Tinglan admires Fan Xudong because he not only has professional knowledge, but also knows how to operate and has the talent of an entrepreneur, which is very remarkable. Just like Zhang Tinglan's subordinate, Chen Qiming's chemical knowledge is not inferior to Fan Xudong's, but he is professional.

Different aspects, Chen Qiming is more like a professional researcher than a managerial talent, let alone an entrepreneur.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan paid special attention to Fan Xudong and hoped to bring the father of China's chemical industry to Fengtian. He happened to be at the beginning of his career and faced many difficulties. Zhang Tinglan was able to provide almost all help, including machinery and equipment, human resources, and funds.

Market policies, as long as they are needed, can be won.

This may also be a good thing for Fan Xudong, which can make his career go more smoothly. Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "I'd like to say, since you have taken a fancy to Mr. Fan Xudong, you can't go wrong. As long as he is willing to marry him, For investment in Northeast China, the government can provide a loan of two million, provide the required land for free, and provide tax concessions within three years. In addition, it can also open up corresponding majors in Fengtian universities and cultivate needed talents."

"Mr. Tiegong is so generous. With such an offer, I don't think anyone can refuse it. Mr. Fan Xudong will probably be tempted!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
