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

The bird droppings pit is located in the back mountain of Da Niao Village.

This so-called back mountain is actually composed of several continuous peaks.

The area behind the mountain also belongs to Yuanlu. The terrain there is relatively flat and there are several villages connected to it.

Da Niao Village is the village closest to the guano pit, no doubt about it.

The nearest village to Big Bird Village takes half a day to walk to.

The ancestors of Da Niao Village had no idea how they could settle in such a remote place.

This ancestor was also a talented person, and he can be found in Shankara.

Da Niao Village is more than ten times more remote than Sunjia Village.

After all, Sunjia Village is surrounded by neighboring villages, so if the village is destroyed, they can run out to seek support.

For a village like Da Niao Village, it would take a whole day to go back and forth to seek help. The entire village has been destroyed beyond repair.

After walking for a long time, Sun Shan and his companions finally reached the mountain where they had come from.

Everyone looked down and saw a bird droppings pit as endless as the sea.

Even though he had seen it before, Sun Shan was still shocked and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Even Sun Shan was so excited, let alone the people who saw the bird droppings pit for the first time.

County Magistrate Wang didn't care about being rude. He tightly grasped Sun Shan's arm and screamed, "Sir, this, this is all bird droppings!"

Oh my god, there's so much bird droppings in this world! Did all the birds in the world come here to poop?

Oh my God, if County Magistrate Wang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there would be so much bird droppings.

No wonder the second brother came back from the trip and was obsessed with doing the bird droppings business with Sun Shan.

Wu Zhubo was so surprised that he was speechless. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the bird droppings pit motionlessly.

If the Sun Shan in front of him was not real, he would not believe that there was such bird droppings in the world.

Wu Zhubo suddenly stuttered, "Sir, is this...guano pit too big? Is it all guano underneath? Is it just...guano on the surface, and there's rock underneath that looks like guano?"

Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, Wu Zhubo still couldn't believe it. He would only be convinced if the entire guano pit was dug out.

Wu Zhubo naturally participated in the guano business, so seeing so much guano made him feel as if his life had undergone a different transformation.

Inspector Liang, who usually had little presence, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you digging up guano from here to develop guano fertilizer? Sir, is the guano in your experimental field the same as the one in front of you?"

It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but that he doesn’t dare to believe it.

Looking at the vast ocean of bird droppings is the most bizarre sight I have ever seen in my life.

How come it wasn't discovered before? Why did Lord Sun discover it as soon as he arrived?

On the contrary, Deng Jiaoyu, who had come along to join in the fun, was much calmer than the others.

He sighed and said, "There are many strange things in the world. I can see something so strange today. I feel that my life is not in vain."

The book records many bizarre things. When Teacher Deng saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but believe the other things recorded in the book.

The scholars following Teacher Deng were so surprised that they were speechless.

I had regretted coming up to watch the fun, but now that I had seen the most bizarre sight in my life, any regrets had long since vanished.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, life is worth it if you can see a strange sight.

The villagers of Da Niao Village couldn't help but roll their eyes when they saw a group of high-ranking officials from the city looking so stunned.

What's so strange about this? They have known about the bird droppings in the mountain behind Da Niao Village since they were young.

Humph, many of them have seen mountain ghosts. That kind of thing is scary.

Alas, city people are like this, they have long hair and are ignorant.

No wonder people say that city people can’t tell the difference between rice seedlings and weeds.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Everyone, you see, this guano pit is huge, isn't it? It's a great treasure of our Yuanlu County. If we make good use of it, Yuanlu County may become the richest county in Chenzhou Prefecture."

Living off the land or the water is not as good as living off the resources.

Places with abundant resources are often richer. If there are mountains of gold and silver but they still live in extreme poverty, it must be due to the incompetence of those in power.

Sun Shan wanted to be a capable official and help the local people get out of poverty and become rich.

It won’t work just by his efforts; the entire county government team must work together.

The official who came to inspect the bird droppings pit this time was the person with the most say in Yuanlu County.

Sun Shan hopes to work with them to build Yuanlu County well.

County Magistrate Wang and others looked at the vast bird droppings pit, and their eyes couldn't help but flash with silver and gold ingots.

The stinky bird droppings under your feet are treasures. If you sell them well, they can be sold for a very long time.

Even if they only have a 1% stake in the silver, facing so much bird droppings, it is still a huge fortune.

Those who can become officials are not fools, and they naturally understand that Sun Shan is bringing them unparalleled wealth.

No wonder when they were buying the shares, Sun Shan hinted to them not to say anything and to keep it a secret from their superiors for the time being.

Of course, that’s not what he said. What he said was that guano fertilizer is not yet mature and must be promoted step by step. He would only report to his superiors once it was confirmed that guano could really increase crop yields.

If we simply take credit for one experiment now, what if the second one fails? Who will bear the responsibility?

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they immediately dared not report it privately.

What if, as Sun Shan said, using bird droppings in spring plowing next year does not increase yields or even reduces them?

The issue of food is a matter of great importance to the country. Who can take responsibility?

So everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about the bird droppings.

If you want to say something, let Sun Shan say it.

He was in charge of the whole thing, so he should be held responsible.

Now standing in the guano pit, the officials who have been immersed in officialdom for many years can't help but feel confused.

I think Sun Shan’s failure to report to his superiors is not just because he is afraid of taking responsibility, but more because of greed.

With such a huge fortune, who would want the people above to have a share of it?

Haha, only a fool would tell that.

Daqian stipulated that the discovery of important controlled resources such as iron ore, gold mines, silver mines, and salt mines must be reported to the court and private development is not allowed.

However, there is no regulation that requires the discovery of guano mines to be reported.

This is not a strategic resource.

There is no law that stipulates that guano is a controlled resource.

Haha, it’s not wrong for them not to report it.

Everyone looked at the guano pit with sparkling eyes, then turned to Sun Shan.

Haha, Lord Sun is really kind enough to take them with him to make money.

Very good, very good. When encountering problems in the future, I must cooperate with Lord Sun. This is the real breadwinner.

County Magistrate Wang spied on Sun Shan again and immediately thought of how he had failed the imperial examinations, the provincial examinations, and the metropolitan examinations, all of which he ranked last.

My father and my second brother both said that Sun Shan had extraordinary luck and was a strange person.

It seems true now.

The Wang family has lived in Yuanlu for countless generations since the genealogical records began, and no one is more indigenous than them.

As a result, such a large guano mine has never been discovered.

Sun Shan had only just arrived when he was discovered.

Emma, ​​this luck is full of mystery.

County Magistrate Wang's body was more honest than his brain, and he couldn't help but move closer to Sun Shan, trying to absorb this luck.
