The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Since someone asked about the bird droppings, Sun Shan went to the suburbs in person to see how the rice was growing.

I've been so busy with official duties these days that I've forgotten about what's happening over there.

If I don't keep an eye on it all the time, I'll be very worried.

Seeing is believing. Sometimes even what you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone what you haven’t seen.

Sun Shan hurriedly changed into casual clothes and prepared to travel by carriage.

When he saw the carriage, he thought of Wang Xiaosi, and then he was spotted by Wang Xiaosi's uncle, Wang Xiancheng.

County Magistrate Wang looked so lazy, he must have gone to have afternoon tea.

Emma, ​​being his subordinate means freedom. You can leave early for no reason, go out to steal chickens, and still get full marks on attendance.

County Magistrate Wang was not targeting Sun Shan, but his horse.

This horse was bought from Chenzhou Prefecture through connections. Jun Yazi fell in love with it at first sight and took it for himself.

I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, it would end up in Sun Shan's hands. This world is too outrageous.

When County Magistrate Wang saw Ma Hou, he thought that Ma Hou must be Sun Shan. With a quick turn of his eyes, he saw Sun Shan trying to get out in a BMW.

He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sir, where are you going?"

It seems that we are heading to the suburbs, needless to say, to the so-called "rice experimental field base".

The Wang family has always been paying attention to what Sun Shan is doing, especially this experimental field, which is specially used to grow rice. They have no idea what he is going to do.

Later, Xingyazi was going to Chenzhou Prefecture to take the college entrance examination and was finally released.

They finally found out about the bird droppings behind Big Bird Village.

The escort said confidently, "Grandpa, uncle, uncle, and master Sun were as excited as a three-year-old child celebrating New Year's when they saw the bird droppings from Big Bird Village. His eyes, which were like venomous snakes, flashed and sparkled, and he didn't look so venomous anymore."

Hearing the word "venomous snake", Wang Jijun, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, ignored the pain in his legs and jumped out despite his limited mobility, looking like "heroes think alike".

He looked at Wang Jiaxing excitedly: "Cousin, you are right. Lord Sun's eyes are like the eyes of a poisonous snake. When he glares at you, it's like he's rushing over and poisoning you to death like a mountain."

Oh my god, finally someone understood how he felt when he saw Sun Shan. It wasn't that he was timid, but that Lord Sun was just too "vicious".

The thought of being entangled by a poisonous snake is worse than death.

Old Master Wang, County Magistrate Wang, and Master Wang looked at Wang Xiaosi speechlessly and immediately ordered the servants to carry him out.

This guy just loves to eavesdrop. Not only does he eavesdrop, but he also jumps out to express his opinions. It makes people want to slap him a few times.

Looking at Wang Xiaosi being forcibly abducted by the servants, Wang Jiaxing was not surprised at all, as if nothing had happened, as if he had long been accustomed to this style of scene.

He continued, "Master, through my secret observation, I've discovered that these bird droppings are fertilizers for growing crops and vegetables. We've opened up a number of vegetable plots in the backyard of the government office, and we use these bird droppings as fertilizer. Not only do the vegetables grow faster and stronger, but the yield is also higher."

After a pause, he added, "It just tastes so-so, just like any other dish."

The vegetables in the backyard were eaten sparingly at first, but later they could not be finished. Sometimes Sun Shan gave them to his subordinates, and sometimes there were too many, especially during peak hours, so Big Head Dog and Nanny Wang stopped buying vegetables and started selling them instead.

This made many vegetable vendors panic, fearing that they would lose Magistrate Sun as a big customer.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because the dishes of County Magistrate Sun were so monotonous that he rolled his eyes repeatedly after eating. He had to go back to buying vegetables, and the extra vegetables were dried.

Living in the yamen and eating in the yamen, Sun Jiaxing studied in the yamen, and naturally what he ate was vegetables grown from bird droppings.

Wang Jiaxing also rolled his eyes repeatedly while eating, so during that period, Wang A Niang had to send him side dishes frequently.

County Magistrate Wang, a true official, quickly grasped the point and asked in disbelief, "Xingyazi, is what you said true? After using this bird droppings, the vegetable yield has increased significantly?"

Since the yield of green vegetables can be increased, can the yield of other plants be increased as well?

If you grow rice, fruits, or even flowers, can you use this bird droppings?

Especially for cultivated fields, if it is used, wouldn’t it be possible to harvest a lot more grain from the land?

Wang Jiaxing said confidently, "Uncle, what I said is true. They also said that after using bird droppings, there are more vegetables than can be eaten. I saw with my own eyes the vegetables in Lord Sun's backyard, they are lush and green, and they are growing beautifully."

Old Master Wang used to be not only a small trader but also an out-and-out farmer. It was only after he became rich that he gave up farming and naturally understood the importance of increasing production to farmers.

He hurriedly asked, "Xingyazi, Lord Sun used bird droppings. How many more vegetables can be produced?"

Wang Jiaxing listened in on the incident, pieced together the fragments of information from the Sun family guards, and concluded, "Master, it's one-third too much."

This method of extracting useful fragments of knowledge and summarizing them is what Sun Shan mentioned when he was correcting his article.

When writing an article, in order to prove a point, not only should there be enough examples, but the examples should also be related to each other. Wang Jiaxing put his knowledge into practice and used it to engage in detailed activities.

Hehe, Wang Jiaxing couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his flexible brain.

Old Master Wang slapped his thigh vigorously and said in surprise, "This Lord Sun is really capable. He can actually come up with a clear method to increase production. Oh, he is worthy of being a Jinshi in the two exams. He stood out among the many candidates. He must have some ideas."

Then he sighed and said, "No wonder my eldest grandson failed the exam. Lord Sun was the last one on the list, ranked last. Think about the Jinshi who came before Lord Sun. They must have been outstanding, each one of them was top-notch. Lord Sun, who came in last, was so amazing. I, an old man, dare not even think about the Jinshi who came before him."

He sighed again and again, hung his head, and said helplessly, "Grandson, take the exam again. If you fail, I'll ask your eldest aunt to use her connections to arrange an official position for him. Don't take the exam anymore, it's too difficult. Lord Sun is such a smart man, but his grades are ranked last. How can my grandson compare to Lord Sun? Sometimes, you have to accept your fate."

County Magistrate Wang and Mr. Wang also thought of this problem. At first, they thought that all the children of the Wang family were outstanding. Now that they saw Sun Shan, who was a graduate of a real professional school, they realized that there are always people better than you.

It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed, but sometimes I really have to accept my fate.

Old Lady Wang patted Wang Jiaxing on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Xingyazi, your eldest cousin is only so far along. The Wang family will depend on you from now on. The fact that Lord Sun has kept you by his side proves that you have good talent. Follow Lord Sun's lead and study hard, and strive to pass the imperial examinations."

Wang Jiaxing:......

Weren't they talking about bird droppings? How did it bring up my cousin in Beijing?

His eldest cousin was his idol when he was a child, and he was determined to become a successful person like him.

How come my uncle actually said that my cousin was not good enough, and even asked me to replace my cousin?

At this moment, cracks appeared in Wang Jiaxing's world view, outlook on life, and values, and he was a little at a loss.
