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

Just after the three wealthy businessmen left, a few more wealthy businessmen came to meet him two days later.

Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then said to Gui Ge'er speechlessly, "Gui Ge'er, why did these merchants come to me personally? Why didn't they come to someone else?"

Gui Ge'er didn't understand either, so he made a random guess: "Brother Shan, you're the only one who knows about the bird droppings. It's pointless to look for others, so why not just go find the real owner?"

That does make sense.

At this time, Sun Dingnan next to him said: "Master, there are also wealthy businessmen looking for me. But I don't know any of them, so I refused to meet them."

Sun Dingnan was staring at the rice at the "Rice Experimental Field Base" when someone came to ask about bird droppings.

When Sun Dingnan heard this, he immediately hid himself.

Fearing that he might accidentally reveal some secret and ruin Sun Shan's plan, he refused to meet anyone.

This made the wealthy businessmen very angry. Why was it that Magistrate Sun’s butler was harder to meet than Magistrate Sun?

The maid is more powerful than the mistress, which is putting the cart before the horse and is against the will of the heavens.

Then Sun Dingnan said, "Master, the rich businessman also contacted Nanny Wang, Big Head Dog, and Aunt Xia, but all three of them said they knew nothing."

Sun Shan now understood why the rich businessman came straight to him. It turned out that there was no one to look for.

As for Butler Wang, his injury had not yet healed and he stayed in the yamen all day, so the rich businessman had no way to find him.

Mr. Zhang has been thinking hard recently. He modified the plan according to Sun Shan's temporary request and stayed in the yamen without going anywhere.

Gui Ge'er cannot do without Sun Shan for three meals a day, so he has no chance of being alone. It would be better to go to Sun Shan than to go to him.

After much deliberation, the wealthy businessmen had no choice but to send invitations, hoping to meet Sun Shan in person.

Sun Shan looked at the post and then at the so-called employees around him, and found that there was not a single capable person.

Alas, this is what a family without any background is like. They have to rely on themselves for everything, and even if they have manpower, they are mediocre.

Sun Shan waved his hand and said, "Brother Nan, tell those wealthy merchants that anyone interested in selling guano should register with you. After the autumn harvest, I'll invite them over to discuss matters."

The plan is not yet complete and it is unknown how much rice production can be increased.

We have to give the people of Yuanlu a little shock so that the bird droppings can be sold better and more wealthy people will join us.

Moreover, after the autumn harvest, they will be assigned to serve in repairing the road behind the mountain of Da Niao Village.

Everything will be decided after the autumn harvest.

After receiving Sun Shan's instructions, Sun Dingnan quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I'll do it right away."

After seeing Sun Dingnan leave, Gui Ge'er said, "Brother Shan, are you planning to ask all the wealthy merchants to help you sell guano? Our Yuanlu is so small, even if we buy it, the supply is limited."

I heard Sun Shan talk about some so-called franchise fees and agency fees.

Is it true that only the one who bids the highest has the chance to get the agency rights?

Is Brother Shan planning to let the wealthy businessmen bid one by one and sell the bird droppings management rights to the one with the highest bid?

Oh, if that's the case, I've already made a good income without selling guano.

Oh, his brother Shan is so smart.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "It's not just sold in Yuanlu, but also in neighboring counties. We have nothing in Yuanlu except guano. We need to get the guano out of Yuanlu and into other places."

At this time, we need these traveling merchants, give them the guano and let them sell it to different places."

Gui Ge'er thought that the rich businessman was selling bird droppings everywhere, and he must be able to make a lot of money.

He said with a smile: "Brother Shan, if merchants sell more, we will earn more. Hehe, the government's small treasury will become a big treasury."

Sun Shan smiled and said, "That's right. We need to ask these merchants to help sell it. If we only sell it to the people of Yuanlu, the profit we can make will be limited."

Sun Shan planned to adopt two prices, one for out-of-town prices and one for local prices.

Haha, it’s definitely cheaper for locals. As for those from other places, with the travel expenses and labor costs, it must be sold at a higher price.

However, both prices must be kept within a reasonable range.

A dishonest businessman is a dishonest businessman. If there are no restrictions, he will definitely sell at a high price, which is what Sun Shan does not want to see.

After Sun Shan refused to meet with the businessmen.

County Magistrate Wang brought Mr. Wang and Wang Jijun to the door.

Wang Jijun limped forward and timidly bowed to Sun Shan, saying, "Disciple greets Master Sun."

Although Wang Jijun did not go to the county school due to injury, he was still a county student, so it was reasonable for him to call himself a student.

Sun Shan looked at Wang Jijun carefully. Although his walking was not smooth, he was able to get out of bed at least.

I didn't expect it to heal so quickly. It seems that Sun Dali didn't use much force at that time.

Surprised, he asked, "Ji Jun, is your leg injury healed? Can you get out of bed?"

Thinking of Butler Wang in the backyard, still lying on the board.

Emma, ​​it’s good to be young, and injuries heal very quickly.

Mr. Wang said gratefully, "The doctor said I can walk again. With time, I'll be back to normal. I have to thank you, Mr. Sun. If it weren't for you, my pawnbroker would have been buried in the wilderness long ago."

County Magistrate Wang also echoed: "The hawker can stand here safely, thanks to Lord Sun."

He turned around and said to Wang Jijun: "Why don't you thank Lord Sun properly? You are lucky to have met Lord Sun."

Although Wang Jijun was able to get out of bed, his legs still hurt a little. He didn't want to come here today, but he was forced by his uncle and father, so he had no choice.

He should be grateful to Sun Shan, but he didn't want to be grateful. The injury on his leg was caused by Sun Dali, who had tortured him.

Moreover, the image of Sun Shan raising the stone high and smashing it against the bandits was still vivid in his mind, and he would never forget it.

Wang Jijun had a nightmare every time he saw Sun Shan. He was in so much pain.

I really hope that Sun Shan’s term of office will end soon and he can be transferred out of Yuanlu County.

Even though he was afraid of Sun Shan, Wang Jijun had to accept his family's instructions and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Shan.

Expressing gratitude for saving my life: "Thank you, Lord Sun. I am still alive, thanks to you, Lord Sun. I have no way to repay you, so I would like to treat you to a simple meal tonight. Is that okay?"

Eating is fake, discussing bird droppings is real.

When the Wang family saw the merchants from Yuanlu were moved by the scent, they could no longer hold back.

So he invited Sun Shan to dinner through Wang Jijun and inquired about the business of guano.

The family does not want to be an agent for selling guano, but wants to be a shareholder.

Haha, you can’t make much money by selling bird droppings. You can only make more money by investing and sharing the profits as a shareholder.

I have been waiting for Sun Shan to come find me these days, but he has been waiting and waiting, and he still hasn't come until he is at my neck.

Instead, he heard many wealthy businessmen looking for Sun Shan.

The Wang family was a little worried that Sun Shan would abandon them and cooperate with other native gentry.

If it were the previous county magistrate, the Wang family would be very confident that they would not let them off.

But Sun Shan doesn't play by the rules. What if he really lets them off?

Especially when Mr. Wang went to the Big Bird Village with great difficulty and saw the endless bird droppings pit, all he could see were the flashing gold ingots.

This amount of bird droppings was completely beyond his understanding and was unbelievable.

More bird droppings indicate more money to be made.

The Wang family was not willing to miss such an opportunity to make a fortune, so they could no longer bear it and came to find Sun Shan in person.
