Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 110 Phosphate Fertilizers

After pouring enough sulfuric acid into a tank, Yang Menglong called for a stop, and with another gesture, Wang Tiechui stepped forward with a basket of phosphate rock powder in one hand, and poured the phosphate rock powder down with a splash.The sulfuric acid in the tank suddenly bubbled a lot, and a white acid mist rose from the mouth of the tank, making a sizzling sound, and it smelled like a wind.Yang Menglong muttered: "It's difficult without ventilation equipment... pour it again!"

The phosphate rock powder was poured down one load after another, and Yang Menglong stared at it, stirring it with a stick from time to time. When there was too much phosphate rock powder, people poured sulfuric acid into it, and then continued to pour the mineral powder until the entire tank was still empty. It's almost a foot full.You can see that the phosphate rock powder in the tank is hissing and emitting a large amount of hot gas, and the sulfuric acid is rapidly decomposing it, and the reaction is quite intense.Yang Menglong called: "Okay, quickly put the tank cover on, and then fill it with soil and bury it in the ground!"

Everyone followed suit one by one, endured the burning pain caused by the irritating gas burning the skin, put the cylinder head on, then filled it with soil, sprinkled water on the surface, and then stomped hard to make the loose soil firm.In this way, everyone can still hear the hissing sound from the tank, evil door, really evil door.

Yang Menglong called: "This tank is finished, next time, pour sulfuric acid into it!"

Master Qianhu wants to play with mud?

Everyone couldn't understand what the monkey was doing, so they could only follow suit, pouring sulfuric acid, pouring mineral powder, pouring mineral powder, division of labor and cooperation, very busy.In fact, this is the production method of wet-process phosphate fertilizer. The production process of wet-process phosphate fertilizer is very simple. It is nothing more than crushing ore, mixing acid, putting sulfuric acid and mineral powder into the acid pool to react and decompose, and finally drying. The specific details are Yang Menglong I don't know very well, but I still know the general process.He didn't have the conditions to make an acid pool that meets modern standards, so he had to use tanks instead.Of course, this was not an easy job. After the last tank was sealed, he felt his eyes were sore and sore, and he wanted to shed tears, and his face was in more burning pain. He was burned, he must have been burned!He took off the gas mask, took a few breaths, and said weakly: "Everyone has worked hard today, go to the bathroom to take a shower, and add food tonight!"

Those strong men immediately forgot about their exhaustion and the burning pain on their faces, cheered loudly, added vegetables, and meat to eat. Is there anything more gratifying than this?

Yang Menglong was not in the mood to cheer with them anymore, he threw down his gas mask and rushed towards the Qianhu House with a cloud of smoke. Everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes, and the door closed with a bang. The speed of the movement was jaw-dropping.The old man stripped off all his clothes, took a bucket of water from the well in the backyard of the Thousand Households, and poured it on his body, causing the water to splash everywhere. If he hadn't considered that he would still drink from the well In the water, he must jump in and have a good time.Fortunately, Xiao Yufang had something to do today, and she was not at home because she had to go to the county to buy a batch of pens, ink, and paper, otherwise she would have been taken aback by his crazy behavior.

After pouring several buckets of water, he still felt sour and smelly, so he simply ran to the kitchen, got some rapeseed oil and charcoal ash, and rubbed his body hard. There was no soap, so he had to use this to make up for it.But fortunately, the effect is good, and I feel refreshed after washing.He put on his clothes, ran to Xiao Yufang's boudoir, and looked at the bronze mirror again and again. Oops, his cheeks were red and swollen, a layer of skin must be peeling off, it's over!He had no choice but to pat his face and comfort himself: "It's okay, I'll be a handsome guy again in a week!"

Just comforting yourself doesn't work, you have to figure out a way to prevent this from happening again.Making phosphate fertilizer was hard work, and he didn't intend to do it a second time. If he did it again, he would be disfigured.The best thing to do is to let someone else do the hard work for him... Yes, he must let someone else do the hard work for him. For the sake of his handsome face, it's time to teach some people who understand the basic principles of chemistry!
He set his evil eyes on the school that was only separated by a wall...

A group of clerks hurriedly loaded the things into the carriage. Xiao Yufang counted them, and after confirming that the amount was correct, she took out the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, smiling: "Shopkeeper, is this enough money?"

The shopkeeper's Maitreya Buddha-like face was full of smiles. Xiao Yufang ordered quite a few things, which covered half a month's turnover of him!Such big customers are really rare. He took the money and weighed it, and said with a smile: "There are too many, there are too many, and there are two or three dollars more!"

Xiao Yufang said: "The extra money will be the tea money of these guys who move things."

The shopkeeper said repeatedly: "Okay, thank you, thank you." While excited, he was a little puzzled, and asked cautiously: "Miss, can you tell me which private school you bought these things for? No, even if it is a private school, you can't use it." That much?"

Xiao Yufang said, "It was bought by the school of military households in Wuyang Qianhu."

The shopkeeper was very surprised: "The school of Wuyang Qianhu Institute? When did Wuyang Qianhu Institute open a school?"

Xiao Yufang said: "Not long ago, the new Yang Qianhu said that the more stupid people are, the poorer they will be. If one person does not study, three generations will suffer poorly, so he allocated money to set up a school, so that those who are six years old to Eight-year-olds go to study, and there is no tuition fee."

The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up: "Master Qianhu is really righteous. He paid for the school and didn't charge for it. The children of those military households are blessed! Miss, in the future, when you buy pens, inks, papers, books, etc., you can use your notes to be good at school." The store, the store will definitely give you a preferential price."

Xiao Yufang smiled and said: "Definitely, definitely." He hugged An Ning into the carriage and jumped on it himself. Xu Gong, who had been standing by the side like a door god, took the reins and yelled, and the mules and horses spread their hooves lazily. Walk towards the outside of the county.I'm used to it, every time Xiao Yufang enters the county town, Yang Menglong always assigns her a bodyguard, for fear that she will encounter bad guys, and at the same time avoid some self-proclaimed flamboyant guys from coming up to strike up a conversation, it's not easy to find a wife, so we must guard against it!Xu Gong is a good bodyguard. He is wearing a straight mandarin duck battle jacket, a dog-leg knife stuck in his waist, and a five-foot long bow. It has a strong deterrent effect on ordinary people. Follow, Yang Menglong rest assured.It's just that Xiao Yufang didn't know what to say to this kind of childish behavior, she was angry and funny.

When the carriage passed a street, there was a shout of joy not far away: "Sister, sister!" It was obviously calling her.Xiao Yudu looked away, and saw a purple-clothed girl standing up in front of a stall selling musical instruments and walking towards her quickly, with a joyful expression and bright eyes, and everyone in the street looked dumbfounded.She recognized it immediately, and exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Ziyan? Stop, stop quickly!" She couldn't wait for the station to get off, so she jumped down quickly, grabbed the hand of the girl in purple clothes, and asked repeatedly: "Why are you here? When did you arrive in Wuyang? Why didn't you tell me when you arrived?"

This girl in purple clothes is Fang Yizhi's adopted daughter, Liu Ziyan. At the banquet in Dingxing County, Yang Menglong was mesmerized by her stunning dance, and Xiao Yudu admired her so much. The children quickly forged strong friendships.Later, Fang Yizhi was promoted and came to Nanyang, so Liu Ziyan naturally followed. It's just that when we first arrived in Nanyang, everyone had a lot of things to do, and we only exchanged letters occasionally. We haven't seen each other for almost two or three months.Meeting unexpectedly, Xiao Yufang was happy, and Liu Ziyan was even happier, saying: "I came to Wuyang with my adoptive father. I originally planned to visit my sister at the Qianhu Office of Wuyang tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet her on the street. What a coincidence. What a coincidence." What a coincidence!"

Xiao Yufang was startled: "Master Fang also came to Wuyang?"

Liu Ziyan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! He said that this time, Wuyang County in Nanyang Prefecture took the most timely actions in fighting off the locust plague, and the crop loss was the least, so I have to come and have a look." He whispered in Xiao Yufang's ear and said, "Actually Ah, he came to see my sister's sweetheart."

Xiao Yufang blushed, and spat: "What sweetheart, it's just an immature big horse monkey! By the way, why did your lord come to the Qianhu House? I remember..." He stopped here, She is not from the Weisuo and knows that civil servants have always disdain to deal with the army, and the Weisuo doesn't even have the qualifications to make them disdain. A thousand households in the district, let alone the magistrate coming in person, is willing to send a small official to come and see. It's for your sake.

Liu Ziyan smiled sweetly: "Isn't it caused by your sweetheart? You can't count how many things he caused after he arrived in Wuyang Thousand Households, insulting the gentry, repairing canals, building waterwheels, digging deep wells, building schools, etc. Building a clinic, reclaiming wasteland...Which one is not a big deal? The whole Nanyang has spread the word, saying that he is amazing and a capable person. In addition, this time he has taken the lead in killing locusts. He has made great achievements, not only kept the crops of the army field, but also took the initiative to help the village, kept the crops of the whole county, and his reputation became even greater, and the foster father couldn't think of it!" Looking at the things on the carriage, one Surprised face: "So many pens, inks, papers and books? Did you really run a school?"

Xiao Yufang said: "That's right. He vacated the empty house of Qianhuzhai and turned it into a school for nearly two hundred children. Not only did they not charge any literary fees, but they also provided free lunch."

Liu Ziyan said: "There is no tuition fee, and free lunch is provided? Doesn't that cost a lot of money?"

Xiao Yufang said: "The cost will definitely not be small, but he said he can afford it. The most important thing is that seeing so many children have books, education and food is really a happy thing, so I also Let him go."

Liu Ziyan was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Hearing what you said, I can't wait to go to Wuyang Qianhu Office to have a look right away. My sister won't welcome you, right?"

Xiao Yufang said affectionately: "How come, you can go, I'm so happy that it's too late!"

Liu Ziyan clapped her hands and said, "That's it! Ling'er, go back and tell your adoptive father that I will take a step first and go to the Wuyang Qianhu Office with my sister!" After speaking, she climbed into the carriage and left as soon as she said, Very chic.One of the beautiful maids stayed behind, and the other climbed into the carriage.
