The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1777 Huge prospects
Marin's operation was as fierce as a tiger, but before he signed the contract, he realized that he was a 250!
Nima, as a king, actually has to sign a contract to collect dung, which is shameful and has to be thrown out of the solar system! The kings signed all armistice agreements, trade agreements, and no matter how bad it was, it was a peace agreement. It's better for me. On the first day I became a king, I signed an agreement with people to collect dung... This is to be nailed to the pillar of shame...
So, at the last minute, Marin sobered up and refused to sign the contract as the "King of America". Of course, it is impossible not to sign a contract. Therefore, he directly dragged Kahn, the number one bodyguard leader who was staying beside him...
"Why? My lord..." Kahn, who was wandering, was puzzled. He doesn't like to use his brain. When everyone is arguing, he has long been wandering.
"You, on my behalf, sign an agreement with these nobles to collect feces!" Marin looked serious.
When Kahn heard this, the whole person was not well, and his head was about to fall:
"I don't! I don't! Please be smart about this!"
Nima, labor and capital are also the number one general of Beihai, and the count of the Grand Duchy of Beihai! To actually sign the contract for collecting dung, isn't that burying people?
However, the subordinates that Marin brought this time, in addition to his own family of three, was Kahn who was a great nobleman. The others are guards and the like, and they can't be representatives at all...
Finally, Marin thought of a way, he said to Kahn:
"You are not allowed to sign in the name of the nobles of Beihai Kingdom, but on behalf of the Blackwater Company! I remember, you are the manager of the Blackwater Company, right?"
The Blackwater Company was a leather bag company that Marin created to lend troops to his allies. Its business scope is to provide mercenaries and help people fight. Marin is the boss of the Blackwater Company, and Kahn is the security manager of the Blackwater Company...
Kahn still wanted to refuse, and Marin was angry:
"Don't you want me to sign this agreement myself? I'm recruiting you, but you won't help me with this? Besides, it's not dangerous... Barabarabara..."
Marin Datong fooled around and used his righteous name to divide Kahn. Kahn wasn't very smart and was stunned by Malinkan. He felt that if he stood up to help Marin sign, he would probably be called a disloyal rebel... And for a pure warrior like Kahn, loyalty and righteousness are very important. Then, this guy mustered up his courage and went off to sign a contract.
Of course, before signing off, Marin warned:
"Don't sign the title and officer title, just write 'Blackwater Company Security Manager Kahn'..."
Kahn understood and did so...
Of course, other monarchs and great nobles are not stupid, they all send their subordinates to sign, and no one signs this kind of acquisition contract involving excrement. Without him, it's too embarrassing...
But Marin was still embarrassed. After all, this was the first agreement he personally negotiated with the monarchs and princes of other countries after he was crowned king. Although I didn't sign it myself, I talked about it myself...
Later, a stalk that has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years is-
"Okay, let's talk about some serious business, don't talk useless. Don't you want to seriously talk about things like collecting big dung on the first day when you ascended the throne like Emperor Marin?"
Then, both sides of the negotiation usually burst into laughter, and even the atmosphere became a lot easier...
...
certainly,
Marin still doesn't know this stalk, otherwise he will be vomited blood. How did he know that he sent Kahn Dinglei, and he still lost himself...
There are quite a few monarchs and princes who signed an agreement with Marin this time, involving more than 150 cities in the Rhine, Weser, Elbe and Netherlands regions. It is not that only this city has the intention of cooperation, but other cities that have the intention of cooperation have no transportation conditions.
After all, shit is a cheap commodity. If the high-cost carriage on land is used, it is estimated that the cost will not be recovered. Therefore, only cities with convenient water transportation near the Rhine, Weser and Elbe rivers have the possibility of cooperation. Because the shipping volume is large and the cost is low.
In everyone's opinion, although soil nitrate can be extracted from feces, the extraction rate is really low. A pool of feces can extract some from the corners. Also, it takes cold weather to get frost and nitre. So, no one thinks it's profitable.
How do they know that manure itself is a nitrogen fertilizer resource. Even if not used to extract soil salt, Marin can turn them into more food. Even for the extraction of soil salt, Marin used the methods he learned from his previous life, and he could extract 89 catties of fire nitrate for every 100 to 150 kg of urine or dilute feces.
The specific method is to use 1,000 catties of fluffy sandy fluvo-aquic soil, and 100 catties to 150 catties of urine or dilute feces to ferment for more than 26 days at 28 degrees, and then ferment the nitrate-containing soil for more than 20 days. Soil and plant ash are mixed (the ratio is 8 to 1), and then soaked in hot water of 70 to 80 degrees, and all the saltpeter components are dissolved in the hot water. After filtration, evaporation and condensation, etc., the saltpeter that can be configured with gunpowder can be obtained.
That is to say, using the method of later generations, the extraction rate of saltpeter is as high as 6% to 9%. Of course, the core is - the cost of nitro is mainly in urine and dilute feces. And the unpleasant smell of toilets that we usually smell is mostly nitrogen-containing ammonia. Therefore, Marin emphasized to these customers - as long as the dung is thin, not dry and hard...
Sadly, with traditional extraction, the extraction rate of saltpeter is not even 6%, not even 6/1000. Even, less than one thousandth.
No way, the traditional method only scrapes the soil from the corners of the pool. In modern extraction methods, the entire soil is directly packaged and purified. That ratio is completely incomparable.
...
The 150 cities that cooperate with Marin, although most of them are small towns with two or three thousand people, rarely have more than 10,000 people (the population of more than 10,000 is considered a big city these days), but they add up to a total of several A population of 100,000 produces hundreds of thousands of pounds of feces every day.
These feces are concentrated and extracted with modern methods, at least tens of thousands of pounds of saltpeter can be extracted. In a year, Marin can harvest at least half a year (the other half of the year is cold, and those areas will extract saltpeter by themselves), that is to say, about 1.8 million pounds of saltpeter can be extracted...
Marin felt a little frightened by this number. After all, the cost is really not high. After all, those cities were half sold and half for Marin.
They were frightened by the "hygiene" theory introduced by Marin, and they were afraid of the contagion of diseases, so they didn't ask Marin for a high price at all. If it weren't for the extraction of soil salt, they wouldn't even ask Marin for the wages of the "sanitation workers" who collect feces.
Of course, Marin is not without pay. For example, in the early stage, Marin needed to provide those cities with a free batch of sealable "toilets" specially designed to ship feces. After all, this stuff is too stinky to be shipped in bulk, only a sealed toilet.
In addition, Marin also plans to pay himself to build a batch of public toilets for these cities to facilitate the concentration of feces. Even, Marin plans to build a cement public toilet to prevent the feces from seeping into the ground through the soil.
What? You say that the citizens of this era will not obey the rules and go to the toilet honestly? It doesn't matter, Marin has given the solution that monarchs and princes like very much - fine!
Anyone who dares to do anything in the city will be fined! The reason is that Marin's "spreading the Black Death and other evil diseases" is just and aboveboard!
In fact, those monarchs and nobles don't care whether it's true or not. All they care - finally an excuse to loot money from commoners! So, don't worry about their lax supervision. For that fine, these people will stare at the people like mad dogs. It is conceivable that after doing this, it will be difficult for such bad scenes to appear in German cities in the future.
And Marin can also take the opportunity to collect enough saltpeter raw materials, and the annual production of one or two million pounds of saltpeter is not a problem. Even the leftovers from the extraction of saltpeter can be used as low-quality fertilizers (saltpeter is the main component of fertilizers, if saltpeter is extracted, the fertility of the remaining feces will be greatly reduced)…
