Marin was as fierce as a tiger, but before signing the contract, he realized that he was a 25-year-old!
Damn, as the king, he actually wants to sign a contract to collect manure. This is embarrassing to throw it out of the solar system! The king signed a ceasefire agreement, and trade agreement, and no matter how bad it is, it is a peace agreement. I am better off, and on the first day I became the king, I signed an agreement to collect manure with others... This is to be nailed to the pillar of shame...
So, at the last moment, Marin woke up and refused to sign the contract with the identity of "King of America". Of course, it was impossible not to sign the contract. So, he directly pulled out Kahn, the number one bodyguard leader who stayed by his side...
"What are you doing? Lord..." Kahn, who was distracted, looked puzzled. He didn't like to use his brain. When everyone was arguing, he had already been wandering around.
"You, on behalf of me, signed an agreement with these nobles to collect manure!" Marin looked serious.
When Kahn heard this, he was in a bad state and his head was almost falling off:
"I don't! I don't! Please be smart about this!"
Damn, labor and capital are also the number one general of Beihai State, and they are also the earl of the Great Duchy of Beihai! He actually signed the contract for collecting manure. Isn’t this abstaining people?
However, except for his family of three, Kahn is a great nobleman who can be on the table. The others are guards and they cannot be represented at all... You know, even if you take the blame for the master, no one is qualified...
Finally, Marin thought of a solution and said to Kahn:
"You are not allowed to sign in the name of the nobles of Beihai Kingdom, but represent the Hei Water Company! I remember, you are the manager of Hei Water Company, right?"
Hei Water Company was a bag company that Malin specially created to lend troops to his allies. Its business scope is to provide mercenaries and help people fight. Marlin is the boss of Hei Water Company, and Kahn is the security manager of Hei Water Company...
Kahn wanted to refuse, Marin was furious:
"Do you want me to sign this agreement yourself? I will not help you with this? Besides, there is no danger...Balabala..."
Marin made a big fool and used the name of Dayi to suppress Kahn. Kahn was not very smart, but was disgusted by Malin. He felt that if he didn't stand up to help Marin sign, he would probably be said to be unfaithful rebellion... For a pure warrior like Kahn, the name of loyalty is very important. Then, this guy mustered up the courage to sign the contract.
Of course, before signing the situation, Marin reminded:
"Don't sign the title and the title of the officer, just write 'Kaen, security manager of Blackwater Company'..."
Kahn knew it and did...
Of course, other monarchs and nobles are not stupid either. They are all signed by their subordinates. No one is willing to sign on such a purchase contract involving excrement. It's nothing more, 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. Although it was not signed by himself, it was his own negotiation...
Later, a meme that has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years is—
"Okay, let's talk about some serious matters, don't talk about uselessness. Do you want to talk about collecting manure on the first day of your ascension to the throne like Emperor Marin?"
Then, both parties to the negotiation will generally be hilarious, and even the atmosphere will become much easier...
...
Of course, Marin didn't know this joke yet, otherwise he would have to be angry and vomited blood. How could he know that he sent Kahn to the thunder and still compensated himself...
There are quite a few monarchs and princes who signed the agreement with Marin this time, involving more than 150 cities in the Rhine, the Weiss, the Elbe and the Netherlands. It is not that this is the only thing that cities have the intention to cooperate, but other cities with the intention to cooperate do not have transportation conditions.
After all, the product of feces is too cheap. If it is transported by high-cost carriages on land, the cost is estimated to be impossible to recover. Therefore, only cities near the Rhine, the Weiss and the Elbe Rivers can cooperate with each other. Because the shipping volume is large and the cost is low.
In everyone's opinion, although soil nitrogen can be extracted from feces, the extraction rate is really low. A pool of feces can be extracted from the corners. Moreover, it takes cold weather to make the frost unearthed soil nitrogen. Therefore, no one thinks this is profitable.
How could they know that feces itself is a nitrogen fertilizer resource. Even if they are not used to extract soil and salt, malin can turn them into more food. Even if they are extracting soil and salt, malin can extract eight or nine kilograms of pyrene per 100 to 150 kilograms of urine or dilute feces.
The specific method is to stir 1,000 kilograms of fluffy sand-containing tidal soil with 100 to 150 kilograms of urine or dilute manure and ferment in 26 28 degrees environments for more than 20 days. Then mix the nitroso soil and wood ash (ratio 8 to 1), soak it in 70 to 80 degrees hot water to dissolve the saltpeter components into the hot water. After processing processes such as filtration, evaporation and condensation, saltpeter can be obtained with gunpowder.
In other words, using the method of later generations, the extraction rate of saltpeter is as high as 6% to 9%. Of course, the core is that the cost of nitro is mainly in urine and dilute feces. Many of the unpleasant smells of toilets that we usually smell are nitrogen-containing ammonia components. Therefore, Marin emphasized to these customers that as long as dilute feces are not dry and hard...
Sadly, by traditional methods, the extraction rate of saltpeter is not even 6% or 6% or 6% or even less than 1000.
There is no way, the traditional method only scrapes the soil in the corners of the pond. However, modern extraction methods directly pack the entire soil and purify it. That ratio is completely incomparable.
...
Although most of the 150 cities that cooperate with Marin are small towns with two or three thousand people, few of which have more than 10,000 people (this year, it is considered a big city), the total population is hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of pounds of feces are produced every day.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! These feces are concentrated and can extract at least tens of thousands of pounds of saltpeter after being extracted by modern methods. In addition, Marin can collect at least half a year (in the other half a year of cold weather, those areas will extract saltpeter by themselves), that is, 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 are sold and given to Marin half.
They were frightened by the theory of "hygiene" introduced by Marin and were afraid of the spread of diseases, so they did not ask for high prices with Marin at all. If they had not been able to extract soil and salt, they would not even ask for the wages of the "sanitation workers" who collected feces with Marin.
Of course, Marin didn't lose his money. For example, in the early stage, Marin needed to provide free batches of sealable "toilets" for those cities that specialize in transporting feces. After all, this thing is too smelly and cannot be transported apart, so it can only be shipped with a sealed toilet.
In addition, Malin also plans to pay for his own money to build a batch of public toilets for these cities to facilitate the concentration of feces. Malin even plans to launch cement public toilets to prevent feces from penetrated into the ground through the soil.
What? You said that citizens of this era would not abide by the rules and go to the toilet honestly? This is okay. Marin has already given the solution that the monarchs and princes like very much - fines!
Anyone who dares to do anything in the city will be fined! The reason is that Marin proposed "spreading evil diseases such as the black death" and is open and upright!
In fact, those monarchs and nobles do not care whether this is true or not. They only care - they finally found an excuse to plunder money from civilians! So, don't worry that they will not supervise strictly. For that little fine, these people will stare at the common people like mad dogs. It is conceivable that if this happens, it will be difficult for those bad situations everywhere in German cities in the future.
