The discovery of the hydrogen carbonates was completely accidental.
In fact, it was a kind of slag produced when Sun Cheng's ironworks first used the coke oven to make iron.
Fortunately, Sun Huan had seen this kind of thing often used in greenhouses in the countryside.
After recognizing it, Sun Huan directly used it on the ground.
This coke oven production method was actually very backward.
Whether or not it could be made basically depended on luck.
Fortunately, Sun Cheng did not have much land.
So he used it directly.
Ying Zheng immediately took out a pen and paper, his eyes shining with a thirst for knowledge.
This was the secret of producing four to five thousand catties of potatoes, rice, and corn per mu!
How could he not be tempted?
When they returned, Ying Zheng would throw all these onto the faces of those princes and ministers.
In the future, there would be no emperor in history who could compare to his achievements!
With abundant food,
Everyone would try their best to give birth to children. After more than ten years, they would become soldiers who were not afraid of death!
Moreover, Great Qin was a war machine.
Shang Yang's reform tied the entire Qin country to military achievements.
As long as they won the battle, not only would the soldiers who won the battle get credit, but even the farmers who provided the soldiers with grain and the transport workers who helped the soldiers transport the grain would all get credit!
Battle merits could be exchanged for land and fertile fields.
The common people were all counting on the war to turn the serfs around!
What Great Qin lacked the most was food!
Creating an army of 500,000 soldiers was something that Great Qin was quite willing to do.
However, it was extremely difficult to feed these 500,000 soldiers.
With potatoes and corn, he could turn the situation around.
Within two years, Great Qin would be able to form an army of one million soldiers.
Not only that, but it could also feed everyone and prevent them from starving.
Destroy the six states in one fell swoop.
Accomplish great achievements!
How could Ying Zheng not be excited?
……
Sun Huan was worried that he had no place to share his knowledge.
He finally met a diligent and inquisitive little fellow.
His interest was immediately piqued.
"This chemical fertilizer can be applied directly to the soil. It won't be a problem to increase the yield of ordinary crops by ten times.”
"More importantly, fertilizer can effectively improve the soil quality. In the past, those abandoned fields that could not be farmed could be restored to normal as long as some fertilizer is applied.”
"How is it? Amazing, right?"
Sun Huan subconsciously said more.
Looking at Ying Zheng's dumbstruck face, he knew that the child must have been scared out of his wits.
Sigh!
He only had a body full of knowledge, but there was no place for him to display it in such a dilapidated city!
Forget it, forget it.
Ying Zheng was also confused.
After all, he had never planted a field before, so he could not understand how much help this fertilizer would have for agriculture.
However, he did know one thing.
With the fertilizer, the rice yield per mu was 1,800!
"Then this fertilizer…how can I get it?”
Sun Huan shook his head.
He also wanted to make this thing look decent.
Even if he couldn't finish it, he could still secretly sell it to someone else.
"If you want to build this thing, first of all, you have to learn a subject called chemistry.”
"Chemistry? I've heard of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Mohism, Confucianism…I wonder who wrote this chemistry? Where is this beggar?"
"If I can make this fertilizer after learning from him, I'm willing to take him as my master.”
Ying Zheng gazed at the sky, his eyes filled with admiration.
"A beggar? Chemistry is just an ordinary subject. I know a little too, so it's not a problem for me to teach you.”
Ying Zheng was petrified on the spot.
Master?
It was impossible for him to acknowledge a master!
He had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times, perform the ceremony of acknowledging his master, and even serve tea!
In the future, when they meet, they have to call Master Master!
If this were to spread, how could he still be the Crown Prince in the future?
How to become an emperor…
Ying Zheng immediately withdrew his admiring gaze and looked into the distance with a stubborn expression.
Sun Huan looked at Ying Zheng.
He laughed again.
This little brat was quite stubborn.
"If there were no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the food production would be halved, which means that half of the people in the world would starve to death.”
"Without all kinds of synthetic fibers, half of the people in the world would not be able to wear clothes."
"Without medicine to fight against bacteria, viruses, and diseases, people would only live half as long as they do now.”
"Do you think this chemistry is good?"
Ying Zheng was immediately attracted by Sun Huan's words.
This was more than just amazing. It was simply the work of a god!
"Is it really that powerful?"
"There's actually such a divine weapon in the world. I want to learn it!”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth.
"This world is made up of various substances. Chemistry is a subject that studies the properties of various substances.”
"After thorough research, you can turn stone into gold, treat illnesses and save people, and even kill people without them noticing!”
"I don't have any tools on hand, so I can only tell you casually."
"For example, why is pig iron so brittle? Why is it so hard after being refined into steel?”
"Another example is that iron will rust. What will it become after rusting? Is there any way to prevent iron from rusting?”
"Why can candles burn in the air? Why can't they burn in the cave?”
"This is all chemistry."
In front of Sun Huan, Ying Zheng felt like a three-year-old child.
I don't know anything, I don't know anything.
One question after another was asked.
Ying Zheng's brain was about to explode.
This was too f * cking difficult.
Why were there so many whys in this world?
Ying Zheng looked at Sun Huan in disbelief.
He didn't expect City Lord Sun to know so much.!
From farming to managing the people's livelihood!
There were even steam engines.
Is there anything you don't know?
Ying Zhengshi was completely convinced.
Sun Huan's original intention was to take Ying Zheng as his little disciple.
The past three years in Sun City had been too boring.
In his lifetime, he would teach more people what he knew.
It would definitely improve the lives of the people to a certain extent.
As a teacher, wouldn't it be nice to put your hands behind your back and move your lips?
Why fight and kill?
Or go to the imperial court to scheme against those people.
In the future, he would send Ying Zheng out.
In the future, he would have a bunch of disciples and grand-disciples.
He could conquer the entire world by relying on his disciples!
He patted Ying Zheng's little head.
"Unfortunately, you're not a king or a general. You're just a poor young master.”
"It's not bad if you're a king. Take what I taught you and govern your own territory. I dare to bet that in less than two years, you'll be like Qin Shihuang, conquering the entire world.”
"But you are still young, and you will have more opportunities in the future. Learn well from me, and in the future, you can go out and display your ambitions like Su Qin and Zhang Heng. I will just be Guigu 'zi.”
Ying Zheng opened his mouth as if he had something to say.
Sun Huan yawned.
He looked at this silly child.
He shook his head.
What a pity…
