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

Sun Shan looked at the gifts that the Wang family brought. They brought a bunch of things, but he had no idea what was inside, let alone whether they were worth anything.

He looked at Wang Jijun again, who was timid and petty-minded.

I won’t eat the meal, but you can accept the gift.

Sun Shan picked and chose the gifts he received a few days ago. He ate the edible ones and made do with the inedible ones. He asked Sun Dali to take the extra items to Chenzhou Prefecture and sell them when the time was right to make some money back.

I don't have much money in my pocket, and I have to rely on a group of people for support, so I have to live frugally.

If you sell it in Chenzhou Prefecture, you don’t have to worry about meeting acquaintances.

Even if you encounter this, you are not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about. Ji Jun is from Yuanlu, and as a senior official, I will definitely help him. Besides, I've already thanked him, so there's no need for more."

He glanced at Wang Jijun's limp leg and said with concern, "Jijun, you must take good care of your injury. Once you're well, return to school immediately. You can't fall behind in your studies. Studying is like rowing against the current. If you stop paddling, you'll fall behind."

After saying this, he patted Wang Jijun's shoulder earnestly, his eyes full of earnestness.

Wang Jijun was immediately shrunk by half a head after being hit by Sun Shan.

Even though it was a gentle pat, he felt as if a thousand pounds of weight was pressing down on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.

When County Magistrate Wang and Master Wang saw Wang Jijun trembling and terrified, they were so angry that they almost vomited three liters of blood.

This silly guy looks like he really wants to be kicked out of the Wang family.

What is there to be afraid of Sun Shan? He won't eat people.

Even if they know how to eat people, the Wang family is also capable of fighting. They are cowards before the battle, which is really shameful.

County Magistrate Wang immediately said, "Thank you for your concern for Jun Yazi. However, Jun Yazi is so grateful for your life-saving grace that he would like to ask you to treat him to a simple meal to express his gratitude."

Mr. Wang kicked Wang Jijun and glared at him to make him more alert.

He turned around and looked at Sun Shan with a smile on his face. "Sir, Jun Yazi is still alive thanks to you. He just wanted to treat you to a meal, otherwise he would feel guilty."

Wang Jijun said stubbornly, "Yes, sir, I just wanted to treat you to a meal. I'm so grateful to you. I've been grateful to you all these days, but unfortunately my leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I haven't been able to get out of bed. Today, I can finally walk again, so I came here eagerly to thank you in person."

Sun Shan decided to play the role of a "lone minister" and did not want to have private meals with the gentry and businessmen.

Because once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and it will never end.

Besides, eating with him or not eating with him will inevitably cause trouble.

Just act like "keep away from strangers" and go for the cool and aloof style.

Sun Shan shook his head and apologized. "I appreciate Ji Jun's kindness. I won't eat, but I'll accept the gift. Ji Jun, there's no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, studying hard is the best way to repay me."

Turning his head, he looked at Wang Jijun affectionately: "Jijun, once your injury is healed, hurry back to school. I like people who study hard the most. I hope you study hard and bring honor to your family in the future."

Read, read, and read again.

This Lord Sun, apart from reading, doesn't know how to tell others to do anything.

Wang Jijun really didn't want to study. He was not cut out for it.

Lord Sun forced me to study every day. I must have offended him inadvertently, so he was taking revenge on me like this.

County Magistrate Wang and Mr. Wang looked at each other: This Sun Shan is really ungrateful. He said such a polite thing, but still refused. It's really infuriating.

Then he thought that Sun Shan not only rejected them, but also rejected everyone, and he felt a little relieved.

Moreover, Sun Shan was really a bookworm. Not only did he read a lot, but when he saw Ya Zi, he told him to study hard.

And it's not just talk, but also integration of knowledge and action to provide all conveniences for students.

County Magistrate Wang and Master Wang glared at Wang Jijun again and again. Even if Sun Shan had many faults, the fact that he allowed his son to go to school was the same as the Wang family's.

Wang Jijun couldn't help but shiver when he saw the murderous looks in his uncle and father's eyes, which were similar to those of Lord Sun.

I'm sure I'll scold myself again when I get back.

The purpose of coming here today is not to eat, but to ask about bird droppings.

If my family wants to invest in guano, they can just ask Mr. Sun directly. There's no need to give gifts or treat him to a meal.

See, now that you’ve been rejected, you can’t save face anymore.

After a brief observation, Wang Jijun felt that although Sun Shan was cruel, he was a good official.

As soon as they arrived, they "robbed the rich to help the poor", forcing rich businessmen to bleed to help students take the college entrance examination.

Secondly, the production of guano has increased grain production. This is all for the benefit of the people.

Corrupt officials don’t have time to do these things. They spend all their time making money and harming the people.

Wang Jijun thought that the way his uncle and father interacted with the county magistrate was outdated.

This was the way I got along with the previous county magistrate.

Haven’t you heard of “new people, new atmosphere”?

We have to learn to keep up with the times. Using the old methods may offend the new magistrate.

Wang Jijun thought that when he returned later, he would not be able to invite Sun Shan to dinner, nor could he talk about the bird droppings. His uncle and father would definitely be in a bad mood, and he would inevitably become a punching bag.

To avoid being scolded, Wang Jijun simply asked directly: "Sir, this time I came here, in addition to inviting you to dinner, I also want to ask you about the bird droppings. Sir, this bird droppings is a good thing. You are really amazing. You actually thought of a way to increase grain production. I admire you."

After saying this, he tried his best to suppress his inner fear, and looked at Sun Shan with sparkling eyes.

County Magistrate Wang and Mr. Wang were stunned, staring at Wang Jijun with wide eyes. Then a cloud of black smoke rose up, and they couldn't help but feel furious.

Why did Jun Yazi ask so directly? Wouldn't that expose their purpose?

A young boy is a young boy, a green and ignorant boy, how could he say things that he shouldn't say?

After hearing this, Sun Shan looked at Wang Jijun meaningfully.

But this kid who couldn't keep secrets actually asked directly.

However, if Sun Shan has to choose, this method is easier to get along with. The most annoying thing is playing the "guess guess guess" game, which no one can guess.

Sun Shan did not get angry. He smiled and said modestly, "This bird droppings is just something I happened to find. It's nothing."

Wang Jijun didn't think so. He heard from his father that bird droppings were as plentiful as copper coins, and it was a business that could make money.

If my leg wasn't injured, I would definitely run over to see him.

Wang Jijun limped forward a few steps, looked at Sun Shan ingratiatingly, and said, "Sir, I'd like to start a business in guano. Haha, I was robbed by bandits last time and suffered heavy losses, losing all my savings. Sir, this guano is a good thing, and I'd like to sell it to make up for my losses."

After a pause, he continued, "Sir, please. You are my Suijunxing. With you leading me, I will definitely be able to turn things around. Sir, please, take me with you."
