Now this ancient version of compound fertilizer is selling like hotcakes.

Bean cake is used as the basis, and then more precious bird droppings are added to increase fertility, and then a small amount of insecticide is mixed in...

There is no standard formula for this thing. It is based on various materials that increase nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. As for the formulas that have been circulated, they are just based on the material because there are no better materials of this kind, but the number one among these things is

Guano, the second bean cake.

You don’t even have to go to that trouble, you can just use fermented bird droppings or bean cakes.

Since Yang Feng wants to ferment, he adds some messy substances to increase the mystery and attraction, especially insecticide materials.

There is limited guano here, but the supply of bean cakes is almost unlimited as long as the black soil is developed.

This was originally the main fertilizer in the rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, especially bean cake, which was the main support for the development of western Liaoning.

Every year, millions of soybeans are transported from the Liao River to Jiangnan.

Then here comes the problem.

How can we transport outwards on a large scale?

Only water transportation.

Neither does wooden rails.

And it must be the lowest cost downstream water transport.

Well, there is only one option, release them from the Songhua River, and after the beginning of spring, use a fleet of boats to go straight down the Songhua River to Whale Triton.

Go to Temple Street.

The shipping fleet rides the ocean currents and southerly winds to the north at the same time, arrives at Temple Street to load ships, and waits for the northerly wind to start heading south immediately. Although this kind of transportation distance is a bit exaggerated, the light will be as far as Whale Sea Guards, that is

More than 2,000 kilometers, and more than 3,000 kilometers by sea. But for the transportation of bulk commodities, this is the only option. After all, wooden rail carriages are not railways. That little transportation capacity can only transport some military supplies to the garrison, and it is expected to be responsible for the transportation of bulk goods.

It's impossible.

Such transportation can only be done by ship.

And even if you use a boat, in this era where you can only rely on sails, you can't go against the current unless there is a sufficient population along the route.

But what Huining lacks most is population, so we can only go down the river.

The farther the distance is, the farther it is. In fact, it saves time. One month is enough for rafting from Harbin to Temple Street.

The average flow speed is not more than one meter per second. Even if you don't dare to walk at night, two months is enough. And the sea transport with the wind and the flow in winter is even faster than this.

"Ambassador, why are you so obsessed with Huining? With your investment, it is easy to make money elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty. Only investing in a place like Huining will not bring any benefits except adding burden to yourself. Even if you

If you can complete this kind of transportation, you will actually not make any money. At most, you will lose less. Even if the output is indeed 30 to 40% more than that of the mainland, you will not make money because you have to pay more wages to the land reclamation teams.

Several times more than in the mainland.

Even if you have other income, such as gold mining, it is useless.

Gold mining also requires a large number of people. They need food, clothing, and a place to live, all of which are more expensive than in the mainland.

In Jiangnan, a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables can fill you up. You can't survive without eating meat there, so you have to eat a lot of fish and meat. My appetite there is twice as much as in the capital. In the capital, I can eat whatever I want in the winter.

A thin cotton coat can last the whole winter. There you have to wear furs and wrap yourself up like a bear. In the capital, a thatched house is enough to protect you from wind and rain. The walls there are more than a foot thick and there is no fire pit.

It will freeze to death in winter.

And almost nothing can be done in winter.

In the winter in the capital, you can let your men build canals, roads, and dams, but here you can only let them hide in the house and warm themselves by the fire.

It means you have to raise them all winter in vain.

It's all money.

You won't make any money there.

No matter what you do, you won’t make any money.”

Ma He looked at Yang Feng in confusion.

At this time, they were on board the flagship of Jiahe. This giant ship with 5,000 materials was personally named Danque by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The red bird holds the golden harvest!

His Majesty the Emperor is still looking forward to it.

And Yang Feng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was worshiping in person among the ministers, and could see that His Majesty the Emperor was really old. Historically, he could only live for one year. Even if he could live longer this time, he would probably not live for more than one year.

It's just two or three years.

"What you said makes sense."

Yang Feng said.

He did tell the essence of the problem...

Unless there are strategic considerations that don't take cost into account, it won't be popular there because everything costs more.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation...

Even building a toilet has to be different.

"But the problem is that some things cannot be considered based on interests."
