“Since it is impossible to synthesize ammonia technology at present, we can only take the second place. Now we need to use nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to grow crops. This has been widely accepted by farmers in the developed agricultural areas of Western Europe. Your Highness, the quality of the land in Greece is Poor, if the government wants to significantly increase food production in a short period of time, it has to use a lot of fertilizers,” Jacob interjected.

“I heard that the Norwegians set up a factory in 1905 to fix nitrogen in the air using an electric arc method, which can be processed into nitric acid, and then neutralized with limestone to make calcium nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, which is now ready for industrial production.”

“Although it is not as efficient as the Germans’ synthetic ammonia technology, it can also solve the problem of nitrogen shortage in Greece.”

Constantine nodded and said, “Then do it.”

Then he turned to Emmayinur and said: “The nitrogen fertilizer problem already exists. Phosphate fertilizer currently mainly relies on superphosphate, which is already a very mature process. As for potash fertilizer, it must rely on potash mines. This kind of thing is in Greece. There should be reserves, you can contact mineralogists and start a search in Greece.”

While everyone was chatting, several servants in tuxedos opened the door, and on the table in front of everyone, placed a silver dinner plate and a crystal goblet containing scarlet wine.

After that, several servants bowed to signal, and filed out.

Everyone’s attention was attracted by the food on the silver plate. The bright yellow strips of food and the sticky red jam were food pairings that no one had ever seen before.

Looking at everyone’s curious appearance, Constantine picked up a french fries, dipped them in jam, and sent them to his mouth. A familiar taste spread in his mouth.

While chewing, he showed the crowd again and again: “These are French fries and ketchup, both of which are harvested from the manor. One of the purposes of inviting everyone to come here is to taste the joy of harvesting from Sophie Manor.”

“As for the wine, it is also the winemaker hired by the manor, who uses the grapes produced by the original vines in the manor to make wine”

Constantine raised his glass and signaled to the crowd.

Seeing the cordial invitation of the crown prince, everyone tasted the French fries in the manner of a scholar Constantine.

“It looks like a potato. I didn’t expect it to taste good after this treatment.”

“A novel way to eat, it has a unique taste when paired with tomato sauce”

“First time eating this kind of food”

Emmayinur and the others naturally understood that in the conference room where the crowd gathered, Constantine had a special intention in inviting everyone to taste the food.

“It’s palm-fried potato chips, and as for the tomato sauce, it’s ground from boiled tomatoes,” Constantine explained while the crowd was tasting.

Taking a sip of the wine and wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Emai Nur said while savoring the flavor of fried potatoes and tomato sauce, “The crown prince wants to promote the cultivation of potatoes in Greece?”

Constantine did not give a positive answer, but asked everyone with concern: “If you promote this dish to the Greek people, do you think the people will have strong resistance?”

After carefully tasting the taste of the french fries, Manu Giannaski answered affirmatively: “Although the Greek people are accustomed to wheat as their staple food, this kind of food should not arouse public disgust.”

Constantine stood up, and everyone got up to follow suit.

Under the leadership of Constantine, the crowd came to the fields behind the manor.

In June, the fields were full of life under the bright sun.

In the waist-deep green potato seedling field, the breeze was blowing, green ripples rippling and rustling.

Several servants hired by Sophie Manor were sweating profusely picking potatoes.

Seeing the arrival of Constantine and his party, they put down their work and saluted respectfully.

Constantine took the potato seedlings from one of the servants, and saw a large bunch of potatoes hanging from the roots of the potato seedlings, covered with fresh brown soil.

Constantine showed the potato seedlings in his hands together with the potato tubers at the roots.

“First of all, as you can see, potatoes are very productive. As far as I know, in the fertile areas of Western Europe, the yield per hectare (about fifteen acres) can reach 48,000 kilograms.”

“The potatoes in the manor, due to the relatively fertile land and careful management, according to my estimation, the output per hectare can reach 40,000 kilograms,” Constantine pointed to the potato field and said to everyone.

“If it is other parts of Greece, even considering the quality of the land, the yield of 30,000 kilograms per hectare can still be easily achieved.”

“The yield of wheat fields grown in Greece is about 4,200 kilograms per hectare, which is several times worse than 30,000 kilograms of potatoes,” Emaiinur groped for his chin and sighed in surprise.

“Yeah, there is such a big gap. If potatoes are promoted in Greece, wouldn’t the food problem in Greece be easily solved?” Manujanaski said incredulously.

After that, the rest of the people bent down and picked up the potato seedlings on the ground, while watching, they sighed again and again.

“I have consulted the Botany Department of the University of Athens, and the feedback they gave me is that potatoes are very nutritious and very suitable as a staple food for the people,” Constantine explained.

“With high yield and rich nutrition, it is indeed a very suitable crop for promotion,” echoed Emmayinur.

“Actually, on the question of whether potatoes are suitable for the general public, Admiral Cantoriotis should have a say.” Constantine looked at Cantoriotis and said.

Vice Admiral Cantoriotis, who defeated the main fleet of the Ottoman Empire in the just-concluded Aegean Sea Battle, was promoted to the rank of Admiral by King George for his outstanding naval exploits.

Seeing that under the prompting of Constantine, everyone turned their curious eyes to himself, Cantoriotis had to explain: “Our navy has already used potatoes as a staple food for warships when they go to sea.”

“Because potatoes help soldiers overcome scurvy”

“Isn’t it right, I don’t remember the rumor that it’s not citrus~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sailors who have been at sea for a long time are prone to scurvy. Accidentally, they found that taking citrus can overcome this disease. That’s what the newspaper said. Yes, did I remember it wrong?” Emmanuel asked suspiciously.

Cantoriotis explained patiently: “The effect of citrus in preventing scurvy is of course better, but citrus is not easy to store, and it will spoil in a few days.”

“It’s different with potatoes, as long as they don’t sprout, they can be easily stored in large quantities even on a boat while they stay dry.”

“In fact, potatoes can prevent scurvy for a long time. In the Spanish fleet that dominated the world in the 16th century, the most food for the crew was potatoes, but it has not been known.”

“When it comes to sailors and scurvy, the world is also the first to think of citrus”

When things got here, even if Constantine still didn’t explain his intention, everyone had already guessed it.

His Highness the Crown Prince intends to promote potato cultivation in Greece to solve the problem of the shortage of staple food in Greece; the second is to include potatoes in the army, especially in the army, into the army’s food supply.

Constantine took so much trouble to get everyone’s approval.
